Restoration : An Unholy Desire.
The night was dark, darker than usual, and in Restfield cemetery Buffy Summers was hunting. Buffy is the vampire slayer and she was doing her job, her job was the only thing keeping her sane at the moment. Two months ago her sister, Dawn, had sacrificed herself to save Buffy, her friends, Sunnydale and the world from the hell god Glory. Dawn wasn't really her sister, a group of monks had turned a ball of radiant green energy, called The Key, into Dawn and sent her to Buffy to protect. She had failed, Dawn was dead and buried, not more than half a mile from where Buffy currently stood.
Suddenly Buffy saw her prey and ran towards it.
The vamp saw her coming and ran swiftly into the opposite direction.
Buffy had hunted this vamp for several miles so far this night and she wasn't going to let him get away.
Less than half a mile later Buffy caught the vamp, spinning him around and thrusting the stake through his heart, the dust that used to be the vampire drifted onto the grave where Buffy had slain him. She read the headstone, and broke down in tears.
The headstone read.
Dawn Summers 1987-2001 Beloved Sister She gave her life for the world.
As Buffy lay there weeping lightning cracked the heavens and a single drop of moisture fell from the sky and landed on the vampire dust that covered Dawn's grave. As Buffy cried one of her tears ran down her cheek and landed on top of the raindrop.
Lightning crackled out of the sky striking Dawn's grave and throwing Buffy back several meters. When Buffy looked up she saw a familiar figure standing atop Dawn's grave.
"D-Dawn?" Buffy asked shakily.
"Not quiet." the voice was Dawn's but it was not the young voice she had had when she had died, it had something darker running through it, something evil.
"H-how d-did you.?" Buffy couldn't finish the sentence.
"You tell me, I was dead." Dawn replied as she moved towards her sister.
"W-we have to go see Giles, he'll know what's happened." Buffy said standing and looking at her sister's face.
"Fine, what ever." Dawn sounded uninterested.
Half an hour later Buffy had gathered the entire gang at The Magic Box and Giles was trying to explain what had happened.
"I-I just don't know, maybe it was a gift from the Powers That Be, maybe you accidentally performed a resurrection spell." Giles said as he sat down.
"How do you feel, Dawn?" Willow asked.
"Just peachy." Dawn said the utter boredom in her voice was almost tangible.
"Are you sure Dawn? You sound a lot different. " Buffy said.
"I'm fine!" Dawn yelled. As she did so her eye's glowed bright green.
The entire group saw it and moved back in shock.
"What the hell was that?" Xander said.
"I am no longer just the human covering for the key." Dawn said as she stood, "I am The Key."
"What do you mean?" Buffy demanded.
"Before . before I died I was just Dawn Summers, The Key made into a human, but now," Dawn said taking a step back from the table, "Now I am The Key!"
Dawn suddenly rose up off the ground and her eyes turned bright green.
"What do you mean 'you're The Key'?" Buffy asked.
"I mean I remember being glowing green energy." Dawn answered angrily as she floated back down to the floor, "I remember being in existence for millions of years."
"Dawn, why are you so angry?" Anya asked.
"Oh for fuck sake, you are stupid aren't you, bitch, I've had it with the lot of you!" with that Dawn faded out of existence.
"Dawn, wait!" Buffy cried but she was too late.
"What just happened?" Xander asked.
"Dawn appears to have the power of teleportation." Giles said a bit incredulously.
"Lil-bit, you were the light in this sodding town." Spike said gazing lovingly at a photo of the slayer's little sister. Spike had thought he was in love with Buffy at one point but after she had sacrificed herself he had come to realise that he loved Dawn more than life itself, or in his case, undeath itself.
"Hello Spike." came Dawn's voice from behind him.
In surprise Spike dropped the frame that held the photo and spun around, the photo frame smashed when it hit the ground.
"Lil-bit? Is that you?" he asked.
"Yes Spike it is me." Dawn was floating a foot and a half off the ground and here eye's were still glowing green.
"Bloody hell, what happened to you?" Spike exclaimed.
"I was resurrected." Dawn answered as she floated to the floor of the crypt in which they were standing,
"Yea I can see that, how?" Spike said stepping up to Dawn.
"The Powers That Be used Buffy's sorrow and their own power to bring me back but they neglected to make sure that I was the same as I was before I died." Dawn replied.
"Same as you were before you died? What do you mean?" Spike said looking her over from head to toe.
"I mean that I can remember being the key, before the monks made me into Dawn Summers." Dawn snapped at him.
"All right luv, calm down." Spike said as he took her shoulders.
"I-I'm sorry Spike, I just feel so frustrated." she told him. For the first time since her resurrection she looked lost and almost frightened, this was slightly by the fact that her eye's were still green and glowing.
"Hey, it's gonna be ok." Spike said as he took her into his arms.
"Spike, you love me don't you?" Dawn asked, her voice was slightly muffled because her face was against his chest.
"Yes, yes I really do." Spike answered.
Dawn looked up and into his eye's and as he looked back the green glow faded from them leaving them their natural spectrum blue color. Spike could see the love in her eye's, he knew that that love was for him.
Spike bent down and kissed her passionately on the lips. Dawn returned the kiss.
They became so wrapped up in each other that they fell over Dawn landing atop Spike. She moved her legs so she was straddling his waist.
"God, you are beautiful, Lil-bit." Spike said as he pulled her down till their lips met.
Dawn knew that he was pleased to be there with her and she knew she felt the same.
"Spike." she breathed.
"Yea?" he answered.
"Make love to me." she whispered in his ear.
