Author's Notes: I know I promised longer chapters, but I'm caught up in
some personal things at the moment, and they're taking up my time. Sorry if
they're not as long, but I'm trying the best I can. I wanted to make a
comment on this because a reviewer said something, and I just wanted to let
everyone know why the updates are taking so long, and why the chapters
aren't as long. Hopefully, things will get better. Note: there is a
surprise in this chapter. Not sure if it's a good one or not.
Chapter Eleven: A Spell is Cast:
"Ah. Here you are." Dawn said to herself as she pulled a book from under her bed. She was now in her room, with her door shut. After she heard Spike and Buffy yelling, she knew she had to fix all this so they could stay in New York. Dawn knew how to fix everything, and that was with magic.
Dawn had put all her witchcraft things in different places of her room, hiding them from Buffy. After getting the book, she got on to her bed, and started to search for a spell she could use. The book was called: "Spell Casting for the Advanced". Dawn was no where near advanced, but anything was worth a try. It took a few minutes to find the right spell.
It was a transforming spell. She was going to turn the turtles into Humans. This way, she and Mikey could be together, and Raph and Buffy could work something out.
The teen witch started to read the instructions for the spell: "Think of the thing you wish to change. Make sure you only have your mind on your objects. Then let the powers that be do the rest."
Dawn closed the book. "Sounds easy enough." she said and she soon cast the spell. She was so into doing the spell that she didn't hear the yelling outside her door.
"Don't tell me you're thinking of moving back to Sunnydale." Spike said to Buffy.
"It's very tempting." replied Buffy.
"Don't do that to Dawn. I think she likes it here." Spike responded.
"It's not her choice." snapped Buffy. "I shouldn't have brought you guys here and then what makes this all worse is the fact you two met the turtles."
"Back to them again." Spike gave the Slayer an eye roll. "I wish you would stop worrying about them."
"How can I not?" asked Buffy. "Raph is mad at me and the whole Mikey and Dawn thing." Buffy paused, before continuing: "Then there's you."
"Me?" Spike asked, as he crossed his arms. "What's wrong with me?"
"This whole Raph thing would be better if you at least try to be nice to him." said Buffy. "As a matter of fact to any of the other turtles."
"Well, in case you haven't noticed, they're not too found of Vampires." Spike pointed out. "No one in this city is, not even April and Casey."
"That's because you won't let them!" continued Buffy. "I can't believe I dragged you here."
"Oh, now it's my fault?" Spike asked. "And correction, you didn't drag me here. I chose to come with you but now I'm starting think that was a mistake."
"Whatever." hissed Buffy. "You want to leave, fine go ahead. Just don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out."
"Do you really want that Buffy?" he asked, starting to cool down a bit.
Buffy gave it some good thought. Sure she had chosen him over Raph but now the way things were going, she really didn't like this. Then she gave him his answer: "Yes. I do."
Spike sighed and shook his head. "Fine. This city is too damn bright for me anyway." He grabbed his blanket and headed toward the door. Before he left he asked: "What about Dawn."
"She'll be fine."
Spike nodded before he finally left, he closed the door behind him. When he was gone, Buffy muttered to herself: "Damn Vampires."
"What the...?" Dawn's eyes opened when she heard the door to the apartment slam shut.
Dawn had finished the spell when it happened. She grabbed the book, got up, and then tossed it back under the bed. When that was taking care of, Dawn went out to see what was going on.
"Who just left?" Dawn asked, once she was with Buffy.
"Spike." the Slayer answered.
"What?! Why?!"
"It's just not working. That's why." Buffy explained.
"So, now that he's leaving, are we going to stay?" asked Dawn.
"I'm not sure on that either." Buffy answered. "Things are getting complicating, and I don't know what to do about them anymore."
Dawn was sad about Spike's leaving but there was an up side to this. Her sister and Raph could possibly have a chance to get back together, and there could be something in it for her and Mikey as well. After thinking about this, she said to her sister: "I don't want to leave New York Buffy..."
"That's really not your choice." said Buffy. "If I say we leave, we leave."
"No, it's not. I could stay with the turtles if I wanted to."
"You don't know that. Plus, Splinter not getting any younger. I don't think he could take care of another teenager." Buffy pointed out.
"Well, there's April and Casey." added Dawn.
"I don't think they're ready to take care of someone like you."
"Gee, thanks."
"You know I didn't mean it like that."
"Yeah, I know." Dawn said with a sigh. "All I'm saying is that I think we should at least give it a little more time. Please? Then if it doesn't go the way you want we can leave."
Buffy thought a moment. Something was up, she could tell. Dawn was being too agreeable. However, she did give some thought of what her sister said, and replied: "Fine. I'll give it another week. Then we'll see."
"Yes!" cheered Dawn as she dashed back to her room.
"Now, we only have to see if the spell works, and then the fun can begin, and we can stay." said Dawn to herself.
Dawn got out her school books, and then plopped on her bed. She had some school work to catch up on. All though she had too much on her mind, Dawn hopped the spell she cast worked. She wouldn't be able to find out until she saw the turtles again.
To Be Continued...
Author's Notes: (continued): So, surprise! Like I said, not sure if it's a good or bad thing that Spike's now gone. Sorry Buffy/Spike fans. I'm a major Buffy/Spike fan, but wanted something different for this fic. Plus, this could mean that Raph and Buffy have a chance. We'll just have to see. Also, sorry if this chapter seems rushed. I'm trying to finish this fic up so I can work on some other ones. Until the next update...
