Chapter 28
I didn't forget about this story! I just had a total blank at what to say. I had the story written out and realized I hated the ending so I am rewriting it. I am SOOOOO sorry.

Dawn was still laughing over Buffy kissing Wesley fifteen minutes later Xander started to shoot her annoyed looks. Outside Giles was still leaning against the car staring at the sky.
"Bloody pretty isn't it" Came Spikes voice. Giles jumped and looked incredulously at the dead vampire standing 3 feet away from him with Anya.
"You know they are already dead and not burning anymore don't you." Anya asked.
"Sounds like us Love." Spike laughed.
"How?" Giles barely whispered.
"It wasn't easy, let me tell you." Anya answered matter of factly. "We realized that we needed someone else if things turn out like they are supposed to."
"For what?" Giles asked confused.
Spike and Anya glanced at each other guiltily before answering.
"We uh, kind of told Dawn something and we didn't realize that we may have put her in danger." Spike said.
"Dawn in danger?" Giles asked alarmed "From who? Cordelia?"
"No. Not the cheerleader." Spike said. "from Angel."
"Angel? Why would Angel hurt Dawn." Giles asked even more confused.
"Cordelia can't be saved." Anya said bluntly "It's not meant to be. But the demon has to be removed or a lot of you will die. We told Dawn that but made her swear not to tell anyone.That Watcher knows too."
"And you think Angel will hurt Dawn when he finds out that she knew." Giles finished.
"I don't think he will mean to hurt her Rupert." Spike said "He is just an idiot who gets carried away sometimes."
"Not unlike you." Anya said brightly to Spike. He just scowled at her.
"So what can I do?" Giles asked coldly thinking about the idea of Dawn being hurt.
"I made a promise to Buffy once." Spike said softly "I promised to protect Dawn until the end of the world. Even though I'm dust I'll keep protecting her. But I'm afraid I have to trust you to do it this time."
Giles looked at Spike in understanding.
"I swear to you Spike I won't let anyone hurt her." Giles said formally "I'm sorry I ever doubted your loyalty."
Spike smiled one of the only real smiles that Giles ever saw.
"Not to worry mate." He replied "I would have done the same thing in your situation."
"We will be watching of course." Anya cut in. When they both looked at her she continued "We will be making sure that things go according to plan. Failure is not an option. I won't let Xander be killed if you all fail."
Giles nodded solemnly before saying to Anya,
"I miss you my dear. Things just are not the same."
Anya's eyes filled up with tears and she threw herself in Giles arms.
"I miss you too." She sobbed "I miss your dusty books all over the place and how you clean your glasses and how you just always seem to have the answers."
Spike interrupted
"I'm sorry to break this up but we need to leave." He looked at Giles "Take care of my girls. All of them."
"I will Spike." Giles said "It will be my pleasure to do so."
Anya sniffled and said "Bye Giles. Remember we will be in there with you. If that helps."
"It does Anya.It does." Giles said softly as they disappeared. He sat quietly for a minute before turning towards the hotel. There was another battle to fight. He chuckled softly to himself that he was comforted at the thought of Spike and Anya protecting them. With a shake of his head he entered the hotel.
