Secrets

Disclaimer: I don't own Alanis Morissette's song 'Hands Clean'

"Hey ugly, over here!" Dawn shouted to the vampire that was getting dangerously close to Connor. When it heard her voice it immediately turned around. The vampire started walking towards Dawn making a big mistake, ignoring Connor. Connor ripped a branch of a tree and stake the vampire.

"We should start heading back. He's going to start worrying." Connor said walking towards the exit of the park.

"Connor, you are a big boy now. Angel shouldn't have to know where you are at all times." Dawn said following.

"Angel? I was talking about Spike!" Connor said earning a smile from Dawn. Connor held out his hand for Dawn so she could hold it. She was about to accept it when she saw blood on his hands.

"Connor, they are covered in blood!" Dawn exclaimed. Connor looked down at his hands shrugged, and tried to get part of it off. Dawn then sighed then took his hand into hers anyway.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself
If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much

Ooh this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dawn and Connor walked home hand and hand together the whole way. They didn't really want to talk. It was just to good of a moment to ruin by mindless chatter. Finally they reached the hotel, and Dawn was about to go in when Connor stopped her.

"So, does this mean we are together?" Connor asked still not sure.

"Defiantly," Dawn replied.

"Can keep this to ourselves right now? I mean I'm not sure how everyone is going to take this. I wan them to know, just not right now. Okay?" Connor asked.

"Yea, I understand." Dawn said only being halfway truthful.

---------------------------------------------------------

We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
------------------------------------------------------------

They walked into the hotel. Dawn went to the open books that were sitting around, and started looking for what she was researching for earlier. Connor went to his room changed his clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash the vampire's blood off his hands. He sat on his bed for a minute than ran out of his room when he heard someone shout.

"What?" A voice yelled from upstairs coming close to where she was located. It made Dawn jump, and Connor was down there next to her in a matter of seconds.

"Dawn? Where are you? Dawn!" said the voice, Spike, walking down the stairs into the lobby. The shouting had gotten everyone to come running into the lobby.

"What's wrong?" Dawn asked getting suddenly worried because he had called her not by a nickname but her real one.

"We're going to Sunnydale." he said grabbing her arm and tugging her towards the door.

"No! I can't go not when I finally got a boyfriend." Dawn said running back to Connor then realizing she had just broke her vow of silence she covered her mouth with her hands and shouted, "Oh, crap!"

------------------------------------

Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family
We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm body

Ooh this could be messy and
Ooh I don't seem to mind
Ooh don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

-------------------------------------

The whole room broke in confusion. When Spike realized that it was as good of time as ever to tell them.

"Too bad. Buffy is alive, and we are bloody well going to Sunnydale." Spike said picked Dawn up, throwing her over his shoulder, and walking out of the hotel with Dawn kicking and struggling in his arms in protest.
