Just a little info:This is my first attempt at Buffy fan fiction and I would appreciate your consideration if you give feedback. I know I'm not as good as most of the fiction writers out there, but I write what's in my heart and that's all that matter's to me.
Buffy and Spike stood outside the factory and watched as every demon entered through the two front doors. This factory was quite familiar to Spike considering at one time he had lived there. He wasn't looking foreword to returning to his old home though because the scenery had changed a bit.
There were now several wolf like creatures guarding the front and two hellbeasts chained to the wall. "Well this is going to be interesting." Spike whispered, suddenly quite aware of the fact that Buffy could die when they entered that building. So could he, but that fact didn't worry him because he hadn't had much to live for other than Buffy.
"It's very interesting. This is going to be tricky. Nothing I can handle. I'll see you in there." When she made a move to get up and go towards the building Spike grabbed her arm. "What?"
"Look I know you're not going to like me saying this, but I can't let you go in there until I do." Buffy sighed because she knew exactly what he was going to say to her. "I love you. I've told you that several times before. But, this is different because one or both of us might not be living after today. I know that you don't feel the same way that I do and even after all that we've shared, including that house shattering night, I love more now than I ever did before, if that's possible. So if by some miracle we live through this you'll probably kick my ass for telling you this, but I had to."
She leaned foreword and kissed his cheek tenderly. "Thank you Spike. Now I'll see you inside.alive."
Spike grinned and watched her run across the road. It wasn't an I love you he'd received from her, but he definitely would take this over nothing. She hadn't put him down for the things he'd said, she'd accepted them and moved on.
Inside, Buffy wasn't accepted with as much enthusiasm as she thought she would. The hellhounds just let her walk on by and the demons acted as if she wasn't even there, continuing about their business while she made her way to the main room. She wasn't given a single problem. Even when she tried to get the attention of one of the demons, they just ignored her.
When she reached the open room that held all the old machinery, there were hundreds of demons bowed on the floor worshiping something she couldn't yet see. They were all chanting something that reminded her of something in her past, but she didn't know what it was.
"Silence!" An angry voice yelled over the huge crowd. "Slayer, welcome. We've been expecting you. Come up here and say hello to your dear dear sister."
Buffy didn't say a word; she just did as he said anxious to make sure Dawn was all right. She knew something was about to happen, but when she got up to the stage she was struck with nothing, but confusion.
Dawn was sitting at his right hand smiling at all the demons before them. IT was as if she felt right at home up there. "Dawn.are you alright?"
"OF course I am Buffy. Why wouldn't I be?"
"UH.probably because you're sitting up there with an evil demon trying to end the world. What's going on with you?"
Dawn looked baffled. "I don't know what you mean. I'm the same as I always am. In fact I'm better than I ever have been before. They treat me like an adult.unlike you. You treat me as if you are superior. Well I have news for you sister I'm about to show you what it means to be superior."
"Dawn why are you saying this? I love you."
"I'll show you what your love means to me.." Dawn saying flinging her wrist and sending Buffy flying through the air.
A sudden amount of pain hit Buffy. More pain than she'd ever experienced before and it was all because of her sister. "Dawn."She whispered as she slid down the wall and landed in a heap at Spike's feet.
"Buffy." He started before he saw looked back up to the stage where Dawn stood with a smug look on her face. "Well dawn I see you've decided to become the big bad. How does it feel lil bit?"
"It feels better than it did when I was stuck with you guys. I never what a drag it was to be good. Now not only is it fun being evil it's also incredibly cool." She let out a giggle. "I have super powers."
"Well good for you." Spike cast his eyes towards Buffy and it took everything he had to keep this persona up. He wanted to run up on that stage and shake the crap out of dawn, but he held back so that she wouldn't get suspicious.
"What are you doing here Spike? Trying to protect my sister? If so you totally failed."
"Na.I'm here to join the party. I'm tired of your sisters lack of any feelings what so ever. When does the party start anyway? Seems kind of dull around here if you ask me."
"Just wait.in a few minutes things are going to liven up a lot." The sound of the chanting demons came to a halt and Spike could here struggling coming from the hallway.
"Let go of me you horny goon." Willow yelled as she wiggled in his bulky arms and tried to get herself released from his massive strength.
"Let her go." Dawn ordered and the demon immediately obeyed.
"Thank you." Willow said, straightening out her close and looking around her. She was alarmed to see a very unconscious Buffy laying on the floor next to Spike and she ran to her as fast as she could. "Buffy.Buffy can you hear me? Oh god what happened to you?"
"My sister thinks I'm the same little old Dawn who takes orders from everyone older than her. I proved her wrong."
"Dawnie."
"Thanks Willow for being such a good example when it comes to magic." Dawn lifted her hand a globe of light appeared in her palm. She then allowed it to levitate without the assistance of her hand to support it. "This is so much fun."
"Dawn this is wrong and you know it."
"Me? I know nothing."
Willow was surprised to feel the soft of Buffy's hand pulling on her shirt. She looked down and Buffy pretended to still be unconscious while letting Willow know that she was all right. "I never should have gotten involved in magic and you shouldn't either. It's dangerous and you've learned first hand because of me just what happens to you when you use magic to try and solve your problems."
"Oh shut up Willow. I'm not interested in anything you have to say. Oh and you guys don't have to stand there staring you can come on in." Dawn called to the other members of the group sent to help destroy Gramgore.
"Dawn you don't know what you're doing." Giles called out to her trying his best not to look down at Buffy worriedly since he didn't know that she was actually quite awake and communicating with Willow in her own way.
"You're in no place to tell me I don't know what I'm doing Giles. I'm up here and you're down there. That's got to tell you something."
While Giles and Dawn had their heated discussion, Spike knelt down next to Willow and Buffy and had to hide his grin when he saw her eyes wide open. "You ready luv?" He whispered to her.
She just winked and grabbed his hand as he hauled her up and she stood up. "You know Dawn. I would have thought that a sister of mine would be stronger. If you had any power you'd have killed me, not just knock me off my feet."
"Oh believe me Buffy I'll do better next time. Kill them all!" She ordered, sending all the demons into a vicious rampage. They swarmed in not leaving much room for the groups to maneuver.
"Get them outside!" Buffy called to Giles, who nodded his head and punched a chaos demon in the head and frowned at the slime dripping off his fist.
Angel helped Giles and the others out of the building and was glad to see most of the demons were following them leaving Spike and Buffy to handle just a handful. These demons had what seemed to be super strength and it was hard for him to stand up against them let alone the mortals of their little crew
Gunn was backed up against the wall by a two-headed demon with an axe of some sort. The butt of the axe was pressed up against his throat and he was lifted several feet up in the air. Angel saw this and threw his sword in that directing embedding the blade in that back of the scaly creature. Gunn nodded his appreciation and their battle continued.
Buffy and Spike were busy with a battle of their on inside the vacated room and Buffy was making her way slowly up to the stage where her suddenly evil sister and the now well known demon Gramgore were currently awaiting her arrival. She was so focused on getting to Dawn that she was oblivious to the fact that A demon was aiming a crossbow straight at her back.
Spike saw however and sliced its head off with his razor shape sword. "Don't mess with my slayer." He said, before getting knocked off his feet and sent smashing into the floor.
The fight continued and Buffy was now on stage standing in front of her sister. "Why did you do this Dawn? Team up with the bad guys?"
Dawn shrugged her shoulders and grinned evilly, "My new friend her gave me and offer I couldn't refuse. See I had the choice of either dying a weakling like your friends over there or living and becoming more powerful than you could ever imagine."
Buffy looked over her should and a sick feeling hit her when she saw that all of her friends including Spike were now tied up and each had knifes to their throats. "Let them go. You know that I'm the one you really want."
"Hmm.tempting, but no. I'd like to see them all die."
Buffy furrowed her brows and starred intently at the young girl standing in front of her. "This isn't you. What have you done to her?" She asked Gramgore.
"I have done nothing, but give your dear sibling the chance to be in the spot light for once. Everyone is so busy thinking of Buffy Summers it's almost sickening don't you think my dearest?"
"Oh yes totally."
"Dammit you're not Dawn! Something has changed you." Buffy exclaimed grabbing her sister by the shoulders and shaking her.
"You're delusional Buffy as always."
Buffy closed her eyes and took a breath before smacking her sister across the face and sending her backwards. "I'm sorry dawn, but I can't accept this is you. I know my sister and you're not her. My sister loves me and I love her and there's no way in hell I'm letting you get away with this you demonic bastard." She said, directly to Gramgore with a tear sliding silently down her face.
"Kill the first one." Gramgore called across the room and Buffy screamed in protest as a knife was plunged deep into Giles' stomach.
"Nooo!!!" Buffy screamed as jumped off the stage and made her way to Giles immediately grabbing him from the demon and sinking to the floor with his weight in her arms. "Giles."
"Buffy.don't worry about me. Kill Gramgore. It's the only way the world has a chance." He said, before closing his eyes and going limp.
Buffy looked angrily towards Gramgore and gently laid Giles on the floor. "You want a fight? You've got one."
