Tara laid in Willows arms, "you going to be all right?" She asked looking at Tara.
"In a few days I'll be fine" Tara said with smile.
"I would never let anyone hurt you." Tara looked up at a little, scared,
"Be careful Willow the kind of magic's you used, there is line you can't cross and be the same."
"Well they better just keep away from my Baby." She said kissing Tara in the forehead, as Tara grimaced, but let it go, "Was it horrible?" Willow asked, Tara took a few seconds answer,
"Well I was really scared, and I was sure, Spike was going to do it, it looked like they were really messing with his head, he bit me then, it all went so quick I was running, and then Buffy was helping up."
"Well lucky for him he only took a taste of my girl." Tara sat up painfully,
"No he saved me and you almost killed him." She said angrily, "You can't use magic's like that." Willow nodded trying to pacify her,
"I know it's just when I thought you were dead, well it was like it wasn't even me." Tara kissed Willow,
"but I am glad that you rescued me." Willow shrugged,
"lets just not do it again for a while, I'm pooped."
"That lady vampire gave me the creeps, spike seemed to know her though." Willow looked at Tara concerned,
"She wasn't British was she?" Tara nodded,
"British and crazy?" Willow bolted from the bed,
"We have to get a hold of Buffy!" She said dialling the phone.
Spike had said nothing for the day he was trapped at Buffy's, Dawn and Buffy had both tried to talk to him for most of the day, Spike could tell their was something wrong with Dawn, he could almost smell it, but he left the moment the sun had gone down, Buffy had tried to Follow but he was pretty sure that he had lost her, although he was sure she was still trying to follow him. Walking up to what remained of the crypt, but there was nothing left. Suddenly his rage was uncontrollable, seeing Willows face everywhere, ripping tombstones from the ground throwing them, like they were toys, sending his fists through wall of mausoleums, roaring inhumanly, until all sense left him as he ripped the cemetery apart.
Buffy, Xander, and Dawn. Stood a few feet away, watching him more animal then man ripping through the cemetery.
"Spike!" Dawn called to him, Xander and Buffy both looking at her angrily, for announcing their presence. Spike growled, his eyes seemingly on fire, stalked quickly between them, Buffy pushing Dawn and Xander away,
"Go!" She ordered, as Spike attacked, Buffy sending her flying through the air, Spike rushing for Dawn and Xander wildly, Pushing Xander away with barely a thought, Spike grabbed Dawn angrily pulling her from the ground, looking at her terrified face before, finally some human control returned to him, her fear stopping him. Buffy called him.
"Hey Spike is it her you really want?" Spikes head shot towards Buffy, dropping Dawn as both attacked viscously, matching each others blow punch for punch kick for kick, Buffy grabbing Spike, breaking the doors of a nearby crypt with his body, both plunging inside. Spike recovering first straddled, Buffy started to punch her mercilessly,
"You don't have a soul, I'll never be your man." He taunted as he continued to hit her, picking up a large stone, she bashed him on the head and pushed him off of her getting to her feet, the still stunned Spike walked right into her punch sending him flying backwards, into the wall the bricks giving way, Xander and Dawn watched as the bricks, pushed outwards like a stamp,
"You belong with me in the dark." Buffy taunted back, as Spike kicked her in the stomach, and threw her right besides where he was thrown, another stamp, as the bricks buckled,
"Ready to throw Down Spike?" She asked pulling herself forward from the wall blood, covering her face,
"Been waiting for ages" Spike answered as the both charged forward an were inches away from hitting each other when the entire building collapsed, on top of them,
"Balls" Buffy swore as the bricks and mortar covered them. Xander and Dawn watched helplessly, at the pile of rubble,
"You think they're." Dawn stopped mid sentence as Buffy and Spike stood up from the rubble at the same time, ready to fight. Glaring at each other, blood running freely down both of them,
"Alright" Xander finished, as both Buffy and Spike attacked each other, kicking each other simultaneously in the head, each falling to the ground neither moving. Dawn tried to rush to Buffy but Xander grabbed her, keeping her safe distance. The night was suddenly completely silent, until Buffy started to laugh it echoing through the night. Both Xander and Dawn looking at the two fallen figures, just feet from each other.
"You know what Spike you were right that was fun." Spike started to laugh,
"Told you so," Spike answered as both started to dissolve into laughter,
"I knew I could still kick you ass." Spike said using his arms to pulling himself closer to Buffy.
"Please I just completely kicked yours."
"Still standing slayer." Spike answered sharply
"You're crawling" she said with smile as Spike came closer to her collapsing beside her.
"Well figuratively standing, besides I don't see you dancing jig pet."
"Well it was a lucky shot," she answered, looking over to the badly bruised vampire.
"Well I'll be strait with you slayer, you kick like a mule." He said as both dissolved into laughter again,
"now the smell is slightly better but." Spike was stopped as Buffy punched he weakly in the shoulder, causing him to wincing in pain.
"Don't start" she said with annoyed smile, Spike nodded,
"Sorry I could use a few hours to heal up here."
"An emergency room wouldn't be uncalled for." Buffy added." Both sat up painfully, Buffy the first to her feet, helped Spike to his, both using each other for support to stand. Dawn and Xander looking at them in amazement. As the both walked slowly through the cemetery leaving Dawn and Xander to stare,
"is it just me or was that not just about Willow?" Xander asked Dawn as they followed a few feet behind,
"You have no idea" Dawn answered
Anya, Xander, Tara, Willow watched in disbelief as Spike and Buffy tended to their wounds. Half hiding watching them quietly the bathroom floor covered in bloody bandages and towels, Spike not wearing his shirt his torso covered with wounds, Buffy, in what remained of her top ripped badly from the battle, both drinking from the same bottle of beer. Laughing and taunting each other playfully,
"Is it just me or they?"
"Friendly, Willow finished Xander's thought,
"I mean just two hours ago it was all blood sport, and now their."
"It's Willows fault." Anya said her arms crossed looking at Willow angrily, "you did another will it be spell didn't you, soon demons will be coming after Xander."
"No I didn't" Willow answered defensively, "and that was a long time ago." Spike pulled the back of Buffy's shirt up, tending to a bad cut on her shoulder blades.
"Shows over," Buffy said using her foot to close the door to the washroom both of them laughing.
"I'm freaked out is anyone else freaked out?" Xander asked, the sound of Buffy and Spike laughing happily still audible.
"I don't I though it was kind of hot." Anya said, unconcerned,
"Well I'm more worried what will happen when he come down and sees Willow," Tara said.
"Well I think I could probably take him about now." Xander said, He and Buffy went about six hundred rounds back their."
"Well I'll just have to apologise is all, I didn't know Drucilla was in their besides she was a part of kidnapping and all,"
"Sorry I'm still with freaking out here." Xander said, looking at the stairwell.
"We will just resolve it here and now, we will talk it out." Tara said,
"I don't even want to think about it never mind talk about it." Xander said shocked,
"Spike killing Willow Xander, not the washroom," Anya said, shaking her head,
"Who said anything about killing Willow." Willow asked,
"I mean yes I killed Drucilla, but she was evil and."
"Right because you thought Tara was dead and you went on a demon killing spree, and you have known her for three years, they were together for a century, just like human to assume their would be a double standard."
"Well." Willow looked around for support, "Dead Willow" she asked scared.
Spike walked down the stairs Buffy beside him, looking at the Scooby's staring at him. His eyes settling on Willow, his hate started to rise in him. Xander started "now Spike were all very sorry for."
"First person who says her name looses a limb." He growled stalking out of the house, without another word.
"He's going to kill Willow." Anya said as the door slammed. Buffy shook her head,
"no he's not, but we have a problem.
Spike watched Willow his fury seemingly never ending as She worked with Buffy sitting in the magic box, his demon would rise in him, his game face appear if he didn't concentrate, it had been two days and it was next to impossible for him not to attack her, he closed his eyes and he saw himself punch right through her, but he had made a promise, to Buffy to wait, and he would, besides his revenge would be greater than just killing her, he had never been any good at this kind vengeance, always just went after them and killed them, It was Angel that had the knack for proper vengeance, but he would come up with something and in the mean time having the slayer around as protection from what he might do now that chip was gone gave him some stability. So he sat staring at the one who had taken Dru, from this planet from him. Tara walked in nervously, watching Spike sitting down next to willow talking quietly, she would nervously glance up at him then back to Willow, Spike could sense something was wrong almost smell it both girls thinking he couldn't hear there conversation about how Dawn was having another bad headache, and how she was terrified that she had tumour like her mother although the scans had all come up normal. Spike felt a small cringe of worry, for her and Dehofrin's words about Dawn having hard life still rang true, but there was little to do about all of that now, the momentary distraction caused his demon to rise, growling angrily at Willow all three girls stopped the conversation and, looked at him, as Spike struggled to push it back,
"Going for a smoke" He said angrily, stalking out of the shop, but the door flew closed Spike turned around angrily, to see Willow floating in the air, her eyes completely black, her hands suddenly forced to her sides, small cuts opening up in them dripping slowly o the ground, Tara and Buffy looking at each other helplessly, Spike had to duck as the books were pulled form there shelves, forming circle around willow seconds later they all opened violently the pages ripping out of the covers as the ink form the pages, shot out to the window blacking it out, splattering everywhere the small pool of blood shot from underneath her , splattering on the window as well. Willow screamed then fell to ground, crying Buffy and Tara trying to comfort her. Spike stood motionless looking the windows, a mess of black and dark red, to a human eye, but the blood clearly, read effulgent. Spike closed his eyes, before he charged the window smashing right through it and running down the street. Buffy called to but she was busy with Willow
Dawn walked into the rubble that remained of Spikes Crypt, "Get out!" Spike hissed as she walked towards him,
"We need to talk" She answered looking around for him.
"What about summers?"
"About you" Spike started laugh,
"About me, maybe about who I am because, I have come to a few conclusions over the last few days or so, and they're not very pretty."
"Buffy said freaked out at the magic box."
"Can't blame a demon, red's out of control again might have turned me into something."
"That doesn't sound like the Spike I know running." Spike started to laugh
"is that the Spike you want, the Spike you..." Spike stopped punching the remains of the wall it crumbling to the ground, Dawn backed away, "Maybe you want the Spike who runs into danger saves the girl, because I'll tell you what I tired of doing that, for so long until I almost believed it myself, but Buffy was right, I'm not a man, he died a century ago."
"Spike your scaring me" Dawn said but continued to come closer,
"That's what monsters do pet." Spike said walking towards her.
"You're not a monster, I know you better than that."
"Really you know me do you?" Spike said pushing Dawn backwards roughly
"Spike please."
"How do you know me pet when I don't even know?" Spike asked her.
"I know you like me I know that you don't want to hurt me." Spike rushed her as she turned to run; he grabbed her by the back of the neck. Pulling her back towards him. "I know you won't hurt me." She said her voice filled with terror.
"Tell me something Dawn, Why did you come here?"
"Buffy said you left I was worried about you." Spikes grip tightened around her neck, causing her to cry out in pain,
"Don't lie" He growled, "I've seen the look in your eyes before I've seen it hundreds of times."
"I can't Spike please just."
"Just what?" Spike asked angrily. Dawn took a breath, trying to compose herself.
"I won't let the doctors tell her, they can't operate." She said barely a whisper, "I need your help." Spike released her,
"There was that so hard?" She turned around slowly, to see his eyes glowing looking at her.
"You know what I need." Spike shrugged
"ok" he said lightly walking up to her she backing off a little in fear,
"Thought this was what you wanted." Spike said stopping,
"I-I-I do but it's all so."
"Oh I see you though it would be like Dracula, a big moment, maybe a bloody orchestra or a kiss."
"No it's just?"
"I'll let you a little secret Dawn It hurts, like you'd never believe but you want to know the worse part is, feeling your life being drained from you it feels like it takes forever." Spike seemed to staring right through her
"I wouldn't do that to you I wouldn't do that again, I couldn't." Spike said all the anger leaving him. She started to shake her head,
"I trust you, you can save me, I can be like you." She pleaded,
"The only thing I can do is kill you." Spike answered with no anger
"At least part of me will survive."
"I won't bloody well do it" Spike said with finality. Dawn was on the verge of tears
"I have to do something I can't die not like this." She rushed to Spike, who easily caught her holding her firmly. "Promise me you won't let me die?" She said in near hysterics as she hit him to no effect he looked around, for an answer,
"I need to tell you something." "He said softly"
Buffy stormed out of the house after reading Dawns note rushing for the cemetery.
Spike sat quietly against a tombstone Dawn leaning against him. "I don't know when it started but I'll tell you the time when I first noticed it, I had told Buffy a few quick lies of my life and how I died, and then we fought, but I couldn't hurt her back then, well I told her the trick you see how to kill slayers the thing she couldn't fight or prepare for. It scared more than I'd ever seen before, because she knew that it was the truth, Now I have always been loves bitch I've always known it, whether it was Cecily, Dru, or Buffy, and then like it was big joke for her she tells me that I was beneath her, now that was some kind of a cosmic joke, but when she said those words, the same words Cecily, told me before Dru turned me, something inside me broke , I don't think it will ever be right after that, I was so sure I was going to kill her that night, and then she cried, and I was. well you know the rest of the story, then Willow goes off an nukes, Cecily right a long with Dru, and something else inside broke, I should have killed, her ripped her girlfriend apart in front of her and went to work one her until she begged for death, but something is wrong with me, they kept saying I wasn't going to last much longer , and I think there right. I have no answers for you, your life has been short and painful, but becoming like me is not better than ending it here, and you will just have to trust me."
"I can't die yet." Dawn said clinging to him. "I need you to help me, trust me I will be the same, it will be fine." Spike could hear her breath getting shallower, no barely able to keep her eyes, open knowing that she was dieing and nothing could be done.
"I know exactly what will happen." Spike answered the unconscious girl "Goodbye Dawn" Biting down into her neck.
Spike walked with Dawn through the mourning light surrounding the both of them. "Are we dead?" She asked as the golden light made everything glow.
"Well we should be." Spike said looking at the sun.
"We need help." Dawn added looking at the sun.
"Right get Rupert to start with the figuring." Spike answered, Dawn feeling the her neck, the two small teeth marks healed only a small scar left on her neck.
"You know that really hurt." She complained.
"I told you it would."
"Well you could have been a little more gentle." Spike looked to her for a second, then back to the sun.
"Sorry but it had been a while since I killed a little girl so I'm rusty." He said with wicked smile.
"Okay, okay stop making fun of me, and hey I'm not a little girl." Dawn hit him in the arm.
"Well on a brighter note we might both be dead."
"Well theirs always that." Dawn added rolling her eyes, feeling her teeth,
"No fangs?" Spike asked with a smile. The sun seemed to be shining inhumanly bright, now. Dawn was about answer when both Spike and her saw it coming through the light towards them. "It can't be?" Spike in amazement. As look of complete joy appeared in his face.
Need feedback or else I'll die, its true ask my doctor, I have a note really. Ok well not die But maybe an upset stomach, or headache.

It scared more than I'd ever seen before, because she knew that it was the truth, Now I have always been loves bitch I've always known it, whether it was Cecily, Dru, or Buffy, and then like it was big joke for her she tells me that I was beneath her, now that was some kind of a cosmic joke, but when she said those words, the same words Cecily, told me before Dru turned me, something inside me broke , I don't think it will ever be right after that, I was so sure I was going to kill her that night, and then she cried, and I was. well you know the rest of the story, then Willow goes off an nukes, Cecily right a long with Dru, and something else inside broke, I should have killed, her ripped her girlfriend apart in front of her and went to work one her until she begged for death, but something is wrong with me, they kept saying I wasn't going to last much longer , and I think there right. I have no answers for you, your life has been short and painful, but becoming like me is not better than ending it here, and you will just have to trust me."
"I can't die yet." Dawn said clinging to him. "I need you to help me, trust me I will be the same, it will be fine." Spike could hear her breath getting shallower, no barely able to keep her eyes, open knowing that she was dieing and nothing could be done.
"I know exactly what will happen." Spike answered the unconscious girl "Goodbye Dawn" Biting down into her neck.
Spike walked with Dawn through the mourning light surrounding the both of them. "Are we dead?" She asked as the golden light made everything glow.
"Well we should be." Spike said looking at the sun.
"We need help." Dawn added looking at the sun.
"Right get Rupert to start with the figuring." Spike answered, Dawn feeling the her neck, the two small teeth marks healed only a small scar left on her neck.
"You know that really hurt." She complained.
"I told you it would."
"Well you could have been a little more gentle." Spike looked to her for a second, then back to the sun.
"Sorry but it had been a while since I killed a little girl so I'm rusty." He said with wicked smile.
"Okay, okay stop making fun of me, and hey I'm not a little girl." Dawn hit him in the arm.
"Well on a brighter note we might both be dead."
"Well theirs always that." Dawn added rolling her eyes, feeling her teeth,
"No fangs?" Spike asked with a smile. The sun seemed to be shining inhumanly bright, now. Dawn was about answer when both Spike and her saw it coming through the light towards them. "It can't be?" Spike in amazement. As look of complete joy appeared in his face.
