Know what? I just realized that all the titles of my chapters have the word 'back' in it. Cool, I hadn't noticed I'd done that. Hehe. Oh well, Spike's allowed being his Big Bad self now, torturing and hurting humans. I'm still dreaming up ideas on this story, my brain seems to have wanted to die, and succeeded. Lol.

"I can only have that much fun with you pet." Spike said. The half-vampire giggled. "Remember that time when Angel." She started, but both Spike and Thorne's sensitive ears could hear someone entering Spikes crypt.

"Spike?" Dawn looked around for the bleached undead. "Don't worry." Spike assured Thorne, realizing she was clutching her necklace. The slayers little sister found Spike talking to a girl. 'A girl?' she thought. This girl didn't look any older than she was! "Hi nibblet." Spike said. He had his arm around the girl, who was looking at dawn cautiously. "I just came by to see if you were, okay. We haven't seen you since you went out patrolling at the cemetery." Dawn had her eyes fixed on the girl. "The slayer missed me? I'm touched." Spike smirked. 'When I finally find a reason to get over that bint, she just can't take it.' Spike shook his head. His childe, someone who he loved dearly (apart from Dru) had come back to him. All this time he had been chasing after Buffy to no avail. Now he was thinking about her again?

"Who are you?" Thorne asked. Dawn looked surprised. "Bit, this is Thorne." Spike introduced both of them. Dawn held out a hand to shake, but Thorne just looked at her and shuffled closer to Spike. "Could I see you in private please Spike?" Dawn asked, nodding towards a corner. Spike stood up and followed her. "What do you think you're doing?" Dawn asked. "What do you mean bit? You got somethin' against my childe?" Dawn's eyebrows raised it shock.

"Look, Spike."

"No, YOU look. I've been tormented by having to work with you and Slutty, and now I finally get to enjoy my unlife for a change, and you won't let me? Well, I've got news for you." Spike lifted his fist and slammed Dawn in the stomach. She went sprawling backwards, clutching her middle.



Both of them looked at each other, Spike as equally surprised as Dawn was. "You, you hit me!" Dawn squeaked. Her voice was hoarse and small. After few seconds of letting this sink in, the vampire smirked. "Oh yeah, I'm back!" Thorne put her arms around him. Spike pulled her close.

Thorne's lips curled into a smile as she held her sire. "Big bad's back and he's here to stay!" With that, the two vampires left, leaving Buffy's sister on the floor.

'I have to tell Buffy.'
