VENGANCE
Rating: PG-13 (For Spike's swearing. Bad Spike!)
Category: Spike/Dawn.
Summary: Spike's back from LA, 3 years after Buffy's death, chipless, drunk and in a real bad mood...
Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy or any of the characters, they belong to the brilliant Joss Wheddon, Fox TV, the Grrr Argh bloke etc. I do, however, own Sean. So leave him alone! Unless you ask for permission of course.
Archiving: Yes! Just please tell me where you're putting it.

Dawn sat on Giles' sofa with a steaming mug of hot chocolate in her hands. She was shivering slightly so Giles gently placed a warm blanket over her shoulders. Sean was pacing about the living room looking extremely troubled.
"So let me get this straight. That guy out there was a...a...VAMPIRE?!"
Everyone nodded at him with solemn looks on their faces.
"And I'm expected to believe this?" He snorted with disgust. "I don't think so somehow. Is this April fools or something, cause the joke aint funny, guys. Look, I'm just gonna go out there, smack the guy in the face and he'll piss off, right?"
Giles stood up and looked him square in the face.
"Sean, Dawn is sat there shaking like a leaf. That...man you saw out there is NOT to be messed with. He has killed more people than you could count on your fingers and toes. He has lived for over one hundred and twenty years and trust me, if you've been around that long, you don't loose fights." He turned to face Dawn.
"Dru wasn't with him, was she?"
Dawn continued to stare into her hot chocolate, watching the way the marshmallows made pretty patterns as they melted. She shook her head numbly. Giles gave a sigh of relief.
"Well, that's one thing then. Uh, I suggest you all stay here for tonight. We can't risk Spike getting his hands on any of you."
Sean went to disagree but Giles' stern face silenced him. He sat down with a sulky look on his face.
"What kind of a name is Spike, anyway?"
"A dangerous one."
"Huh?" This was the first time dawn had spoken since they had arrived. Sean had explained what they had seen and the others had worked it out from there.
"What did you say Dawnie?" He coaxed.
She looked up at him through bleary eyes.
"He got it because he used to enjoy skewering and torturing people with railroad spikes."
Sean grimaced slightly.
"Used to enjoy? What happened?"
"He had a chip inserted into his brain. Stopped him harming any human. He used to be my friend."
Sean looked at her disbelievingly.
"You were friends with that monster?"
"He was the best friend I ever had. I mean how many 14 year olds can say their best friend was over a hundred years old? And come on, he has cool hair!"
Xander chuckled slightly and fiddled with the wedding ring on his finger.
"Yeah, but Dawnie, he was a pain in the ass."
Dawn laughed.
"That's only because after then, you only became second best, Honey." Anya said quietly.
Xander turned to look at her slowly and hung his head.
Dawn had stopped laughing. She looked uncomfortably around.
"Um...I'm going to bed. I'm beat."
"Night, Dawn."
"Night everyone."
With that she went upstairs. She collapsed on her bed and her body became wracked with great sobs. He had been her best friend and now he was... nothing. The shell of who he had been. She had loved him and he had gone. Well she refused to give up. She wiped the tears out of her eyes. Her window was open and a light breeze was blowing the curtains. When she was younger she used to climb out and go visit Spike. Well what was to stop her now? She was sure that he couldn't have forgotten everything. She grabbed her coat from the back of her chair and swung her leg over the windowsill. In a matter of minutes, her feet were on the ground and she was on her way to find Spike. Unaware that as she walked into the darkness she was being watched by a pair of eyes belonging to something much darker than William the Bloody...
