Chapter 3

Spike morphed into game face and bit down on his own wrist. The blood started flowing out and he held it over Buffy's mouth. The first few drops hit her lips and nothing happened. Then Buffy's tongue licked her lips. After a few more drops, Buffy grabbed Spike's arm and latched onto his wrist with her mouth.

Spike cried as the woman he loved drank his blood. The pulling at his wrist was erotic and he tried not to think about how hot it was. He knew Buffy would never want to be a vampire. She had called him a disgusting dead thing because he was a vampire, and now she ould be the thing she hated.

Spike laid down beside her. His unbuttoned shirt fell open and Buffy snuggled up against his bare chest while she sucked at his wrist. Spike closed his eyes and tried not to think about how wonderful it would be for Buffy to be a vampire. His childe.

Spike pulled his wrist away from her. "That's enough now," he said brokenly. He was sad that she was going to lose her soul, and hoped that Willow could get all the things together soon that she needed for the ensoulment spell.

"I can't believe you are putting together an ensoulment spell," Xander said as he paced the Magic Box. "Buffy hates vampires. She wouldn't want to be one. I say that if Angelus turned her, we stake her."

"Oh my god how can you say that?" Dawn cried. "Buffy is my sister and I love her! I don't care if she's a vampire, as long as she's not dead again!"

Xander frowned. "A vampire IS dead. A vampire Buffy isn't the same as a brought-back-to-life Buffy!"

"Oh, I can have a zombie for a sister but not a vampire? Is that what you're saying?"

"Dawn!" Willow exclaimed. "Buffy isn't a zombie! The spell I did to raise her brought her back ..."

"You mean pulled her out of heaven!" Dawn yelled. "I hate you! I ripped her out of heaven and probably away from Mom!" Then she turned to Xander. "And I hate you too! You want to kill her! I've lost everyone in my life and you want to kill everyone else. I hate you! Get out get out get out!"

Xander and Willow ignored her and treated her like she wasn't there. They were always ignoring Dawn. Dawn turned around to run out crying, but the tears in her eyes were making everything blurry. She ran into the table and turned it over. There was a big crash as glass shattered.

"Oh Goddess, NO!!!" Willow cried.

The Orb of Thesulah had been shattered.
