The moon was shining in the sky so he could tell it was late.

Spike walked around the empty house. The witches were in the Bronze that night, trying to relax, after Glory, Buffy's death and all...

And he was baby-sitting Dawn.


**Dawn**

This wasn't the first time his thoughts revolved around her ¿His baby? ¿His friend? ¿His love? ¿What was Dawn for him?

Did he keep feelings for her? Was she really that important?

Yes...

She is...


Mine.


Mine to care.
Mine to play
Mine to drain dry

And specially

Mine to love.

He opened the door and entered in Dawn's room. He looked at her and realized that she was hugging her pillow.

No little pigs or bears.

He walked closer.

Her breathing was calm; he could tell she was sleeping and perhaps dreaming.


But it seemed that it wasn't a peaceful dream...

She was trembling and shaking.

Darkness and Blood..

Death and destruction

Mum is dead. Buffy is dead.


They're gone.


Alone. Alone in the darkness.


Dawn blinked a couple of times feeling a hand touching her head.

- Hey Niblet, what's up?

- Spike...

- Yeah. Me. The Big Bad. Who else?- He asked with a smirk.

But after some seconds the arrogance turned into worry.

- Are you all right?- He asked without a hint of hesitance in his voice.


Dawn's eyes were tinted with fear. Huge and teary blue pools began to give puppy looks at Spike's blue ones.

- I.. I had a nightmare. I feel so lonely... I don't have anyone... I am an object. A thing. A useless fucking Key.

Spike cocked and eyebrow and a sad smile curved his lips.

- You'll never be alone. I'll always stay with you.

- ¿Really? - She asked with disbelief

- Really- he said approaching her slowly until he was sat in front of her. He took her chin gently and whispered near her ear...

- I promise.
