Disclaimer- Laurina is mine. Daniel is mine. Okay so you don't see
him in the one but you will. The others belong to Joss Whendon, UPN
and Mutant Enemy. Spike's not mine and he never will be. That makes
me sad!
Her pale figure lay very still and it was hard for Spike to
tell whether she was dead or just lying there. It was a female, that
much was for certain. She wore a dress that clung to her curves
like satin and her hair fell in loose waves down her back. It was
not any certain color in the pale moonlight. She moved slightly and
he bent over her. Her body was colored a pure crimson. Her own blood,
human though different somehow he thought. Then her eyes opened and
she moaned trying to sit up. "Easy love. You've had a rough night."
Spike said and helped her into a sitting position.
He had walked upon the girl several hours earlier and killed
a demon that was in the process of eating her. He had sat, stood or
walked around before her, waiting for the girl to stir awake. She was
lovely and he didn't just want to abandon her. Plus, she smelt of
something a little more than mortality. She smelled of a different
dimension. She smelled of Atlantis though Spike could not tell that.
And they wouldn't know about that until later.
She had passed out a few moments later. It had only been
enough time for him to find out her name. He thought about it as
he slung her over his shoulder and headed toward the Watchers house.
"Laurina Theodora of the Sentiars. Where was the girl from?" He
headed to the door and knocked. "Giles, we've got a problem." He
said when the old man finally opened the door. "Found her in an alley.
Some Feral demon was chewing on her. Killed it and waited for her
to come too. Took her two or three hours." Spike laid her down on
the couch and sat beside her. "Did you get a name? She's awfully
small. Can't be more than Dawn's age. If that." Giles moved to her
side. "Help me get her clothes off and get her washed off. We need to
see how badly she's hurt.
Just as Giles got her top off there was a knock at the door.
Then Buffy's voice chimed, "Hey, guys. Let me in. I think I've found
something that could be of use. " Spike let her in and she gasped at
what she saw. The child lay on Giles couch, naked. Her skin, now that
it was cleaned off gave a faintly gold glow, though her skin was as
pale as any vampires. Giles stood over her and bandaged the many
wounds covering her small body. "What Spike bring home another bloody
girlfriend? I thought we told you to stop doing that!" She chided,
looking at the helpless girl. "And she's only a chile. Spike, I'm
shocked at you!" Giles turned to Buffy, his eyes saying he was
annoyed. "Actually he found her being attacked by a demon and I was
just going to ask him what she said her name was."
Spike looked at them. "It could mean something, love.
She said it was... Laurina Theodora of the Sentiars." The girl came
to a bit and sat up. Giles sat down. "OH, god. They're going to kill
us all." He murmured. "Why?" Spike asked. "Because we've touched
their beloved daughter." He looked at them. "We have touched the
daughter of Atlantis." Buffy and Spike looked at each other and then
back at him. "I didn't touch her. Besides you two helped her. She
would've died if Spike hadn't come along." Buffy announced, helping
the girl sit up on the couch. Spike walked over and kneeled before
the young girl. "Where are you from, love? How can we get you back?"
He asked her, taking one small hand in his own. "I'm from Atlantis.
Giles is right about that. But I've come here with my sire.
And now we've been separated." Suddenly, her small voice cracked and
her back arched in pain. She screamed loudly and all of her muscles
tensed. She put her head in her hands. "Daniel. Take it, Daniel.
As much of it as you need. Just take it."
