Chapter 2
.~*2 and a half weeks later*~.
Spike looked at his map, sighing. "Well, here goes nothing." He said, crossing another town off a list of about a hundred. He asked around in demon bars to see if anyone knew where they were. If a demon knew, he killed them after extracting any information. He didn't want to risk anyone finding out about the Slayer and her sister. He had been looking for them ever since he left Sunnydale. He drove down the main street of the little town and parked his motorbike, looking around, Spike smiled. The town looked like something out of an old western movie. He'd been somewhere like this years ago with Drusilla. The smile faded away. He remembered what they'd done to the townsfolk. Shaking the memory away, Spike saw people entering what looked like the local watering hole and decided to follow. Upon entering Spike looked around for somebody who might be able to help him.
"You're new in town, aren't you?"
Spike turned around to see an old guy staring at him.
"How can you tell?" He asked warily.
"'Cause I know everyone who lives in this town and I don't know you."
"Well, maybe you can help me then. I am looking for some friends of mine, two sisters. One's a short blonde, around 21, and the other's a taller browned haired 16 year old." Spike asked hopefully.
The old man thought for a moment. "No, sorry. I don't know them."
"Oh." Spike said glumly "Thanks anyway. . ." He said, turning around looking for someone else to ask. The guy seemed a little drunk and senile- maybe he didn't know what he was talking about. Spike walked up to another man.
"Hi I'm Sp- Err, William, I'm looking for two sisters they.." Spike stopped talking because he felt someone tapping him on the shoulder "Excuse me." he said before turning around. The old man was staring at Spike once more.
"Did you say The William sisters?"
Spike shook his head. "No I said I'm William. . ."
"No, I am pretty sure you said William sisters." he said, shaking his finger at him "They moved to town a couple of months ago now, a fiery young redhead named Karen and Alison, she has cute dark hair."
Spike thought for a moment. . . Red hair, red. . . It must be Willow! She wasn't there at the Magic Box. Perhaps Dawn was the girl with the dark hair.
The old man smiled at Spike's face. "See, I know everyone in town! They live at the old McClellan place. . .Up the road and turn left."
Spike could have kissed him. Hell, he could have had his children. "Thank you!" With that he rushed off.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Spike ran outside and jumped onto his motorbike. Starting it, Spike sped out of town in the direction he hoped would lead him to Buffy and Dawn. Turning where the guy told him Spike continued to speed down the dirt road until he saw a grove of trees with a drive way that was barely noticeable. Slowing, Spike carefully turned into the drive and began the longest trip of his life. Parking his bike under some trees Spike sat on the bike contemplating what he was about to do. Reaching into his pocket, he remembered he couldn't smoke anymore. "Bloody brilliant. . ."
.~*Meanwhile*~.
"Got any plans for tonight, Dawn?" Buffy asked.
Dawn looked over at Buffy with wide, scared eyes. "Alison! Who are you talking to?" She hissed.
Buffy looked over at Dawn thinking she was crazy, she then realised what she had done. She had called her by her real name. Buffy began to nervously look around.
"I was. . .Talking to my. . .My imaginary friend! Yes, my imaginary friend named Dawn, who isn't here; she's far, far away on some planet for imaginary people called Dawn. . ." Buffy babbled.
Dawn sighed; Buffy and she had to keep up the personas that were Alison and Karen William in case the Council some how found them.
"Did you hear that Karen?" Buffy (Alison) said.
"No." Dawn (Karen) replied.
"I swear I heard a knocking"
The knock came again but this time Dawn heard it too.
"See, I told you, go look out the window"
Dawn snuck over to the window. "It's some guy. . . He's got browny, blondey hair.
Dawn walked away from the window and the knock came again. Dawn looked at Buffy.
"OK. . . OK. . . I'm going to go out of the back door and go round to the front, alright? Count to ten and then ask him who he is. Don't do anything else!"
Buffy gave her sister a quick smile and Dawn began counting.
"1. . .2. . .3. . .4. . .5. . ."
Knock, knock, knock.
"6. . .7. . .8. . .9. . .10!" "Coming!" Dawn cried out in a false, happy voice.
Spike's heart lifted when he heard the sound.
Dawn flung open the door and almost fainted when she saw Spike.
"Oh my god" she gasped throwing her arms around him. She forgot all the bad things he'd done with relief. She then realised he was standing in the sun.
"Long story." Spike said when he saw Dawn's confused look.
"Come in" she said ushering him in. "You're really here aren't you?"
Spike nodded and Dawns demeanour changed.
"You bastard! You stupid idiot!" Dawn hit Spike harder and harder, tears blinding her face. She rained down blows onto him.
Outside Buffy the noise and slowly crept up to the house with a piece of firewood in her hand. Peeking in, Buffy saw Dawn struggling against a man holding her. Buffy raised the wood and was about to strike when Dawn looked up.
"Buffy! Wait!"
Buffy held the wood high above her head and waited for Dawn to speak again.
Spike slowly turned around, still holding the weeping. Dawn. "Hello, cutie."
