She stood frozen on the stairs as he stood up to
go see what was on the steps. They stood facing
each other for a minute. No emotion showed on
either face.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
"Sure. I thought I heard the cat down here and,
well, yeah..." She croaked out. Spike knew very
well that there was no cat but played along
with it.
"Well, I haven't seen it but I bring 'im up if I do.
Now go to bed. You have a big test tomorrow and
need to sleep."
She turned and went back up the stairs with
Spike's eyes Drilling into her back.
Tomorrow. Friday. Big test. She had planned to
do her spell then. After school but an idea had
formed in her mind. One that would need one
more day.
***
The next day at school, Dawn was distracted and
kept running into things and knocking things
over. Her friends all gave her weird looks which
she ignored r failed to see and she failed her
test by saying that the Roman Empire fell in
1994.
After school, instead of going to the Magic
Shop, she called Spike on her friends cell phone
to say she was going over to Alex's house to
hang out for a few hours and that she would be
home for dinner. She knew that Spike worked at
the Magic Shop in the afternoons to earn some
money so he wouldn't be home.
As she said bye to her friends, she began to think
about how funny it was that Spike worked or
Giles who hated him. Oh well. It worked for her
plans perfectly! No one would be home and she
could work in secret.
No Go. As she pulled open the door, she head
someone call out from the kitchen.
"Dawn? HEY! It's the Dawn-miester! What 'cha
doin' home so soon?" It was Xander. Dawn stood
there looking at him for a minute before she
told him.
"I found a way to bring Buffy back. Are you going
to help me?"
Xander didn't really know what to say but the
look on her face told him how determined she
was. "Sure" he answered. He just hoped it
worked so that she wouldn't be let down.
"And if it works I'll bring mom back."
"Oh." He didn't know what to say to that.
"What are you doing here anyways?"
"Oh. Spike asked my to come over and fix this
cupboard."
"Oh. Well, I'll be down stairs when your ready."
With that, Dawn turned and went down into the
basement.
Xander was left standing there quite confused.
But hey. If the littlest Summers wanted to bring
back from the dead then who was he to stop her?
And besides. They needed their slayer back. He
didn't now if a new one had been chosen or not
but he knew that the Scoobies couldn't protect
the Hellmouth without a slayer.
Shaking his head he went back to work on the
wooden door.
***
Dawn went down the creaky old steps to the
room where Spike slept. He'd put everything away
but Dawn noticed that the box still sat on the
coffee table.
She opened it and gasped as a wave of foul smell
hit her. "Well. Old things smell." she reasoned.
The dress was on top but the cross had fallen
to the bottom again. She fished it out and closed
the lid reverently. Then she sat back to examine
the things she held.
The dress had been made for some one tall.
Taller than Dawn. It looked like it was made for
someone about six feet tall. There was brown
blood stains around the lacy neck line. The
whole thing was made of velvet and satin with
lace and silk flowers for trimming. Dawn
thought it would make a really neat Halloween
costume.
The cross hung from an old and tarnished gold
chain and was decorated with nine rubies
adorning it's face. the chain was broken as if it
had been pulled from her neck in haste.
Heartless. well, soul-less.
Xander chose that moment to come down to see
what was happening.
"What's all that?"
"Nothing. Some of Spike's stuff. Hey. I have to go
upstairs and get something. Wait here." She ran
upstairs to grab the brush and the other things
of Buff's she'd gotten then ran back down.
When she came in Xander was examining the dress
with the funnies look on his face.
"I didn't know the Buffster went for this knida
look."
Grabbing it a way from him she replied: "It's not
her's. I have an idea."
Xander looked at her with raised eye brows.
"And that idea is..."
"I'm going to bring back Annie"
