IT'S BEEN A WHILE WITH CHRISTMAS AND THE IMPENDING DOOM OF EXAMS IN THE NEW
YEAR BUT HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER A LITTLE DELAYED.
Dawn continued to dance unaware that Spike was in trouble. But as the song got louder Dawn felt Joe pushing her away from the dance floor.
'Hey,' Dawn said annoyed. 'What's going on?'
As Dawn looked at Joe, she saw he was now smiling. But this was different. As Dawn looked at him waiting for him to speak, he caught her off guard and pushed her again towards the door. Dawn went easily still in shock by what was happening. As he grabbed her by her waist and began carrying her through the crowded room her survival instincts kicked in and she tried to kick the boy in the shins. She couldn't understand why he was doing this. She searched the room looking for anyone she knew. Kevin was gone; she could still see Xander laughing with Willow at the bar but didn't see her with their backs turned.
'Willow, Xander!' Dawn shouted. The music had reached a crescendo and there was no way they would be able to hear her. Dawn refused to give in and allow him to take her.
With one arm wrapped around Dawn, the boy tried to use the other to cover her mouth and shut her up without anyone else noticing. As he covered her mouth she bit into his wrist. Expecting him to release his grasp she tried to move but he merely cursed, ignoring the pain and moved towards the door.
As Dawn struggled more trying to escape, it was becoming more obvious what the boy was doing. He turned her round so they were face to face and smiled at her still holding her tightly in his arms preventing her from getting away.
Joe looked at her their faces almost touching standing perfectly still. Dawn couldn't help it but stop struggling for a moment to look at him and wonder why he was doing this. Trying to find an answer by staring at his face. And in that moment she felt a breeze of cold air. She looked around and saw she was outside the bronze already. She searched around her looking for a weapon and as he came towards her she swung her arm and hit him across the face with the lid of a trashcan. He swung away from her in pain but turned back immediately.
She no longer saw Joe's face just the vampire. Dawn let out a scream and began to run.
***************
Spike sat up quickly ignoring the throbbing pain in the side of his head. He kicked the vampire in the ankle knocking her to the ground giving him an easy run to the stairs and down to Dawn. As he ran over the vampire she grabbed him by the arm and with all her strength through him against the back wall of the balcony. Spike slowly stood up from the pain in his arm. He could taste blood seeping from a deep cut above his eye.
The vampire ran at him and hit him around the head. When she tried to do it again Spike was ready she grabbed her wrist and twisted it round and pushed her towards the railings. He made it to the top of the stairs before the vampire had him around the neck.
For a moment he saw Dawn's panicked face as she was pushed out of the door. Spike warped to his demon face, turned to the girl and hit her sending her into the Bronze wall. He pulled broke off the leg of one of the wooden chairs he had knocked over and went up to the vampire a crumpled heap on the floor. He picked her up by her hair to stake her through the heart. He the quickly turned down the stairs and out into the night to find Dawn.
***************
Dawn ran round the side of the Bronze. If she could find the side door she might be able to get back inside to Willow and the others. She found the door and began to hammer on it frantically. She turned her head and saw the vampire running towards her. She knew if she continued to wait here, he would catch her. She saw an alley to her left and ran in her heels, towards it. She was going to hide but the vampire had caught up to her quicker than she had expected. She threw a trashcan at him hoping it would slow him down but he merely tossed it aside. She ran back out towards a main road. She recognised it immediately.
She turned to see where the vampire was, but he had gone. She looked around worried. Was it a good sign he had gone, or he was watching her? She heard a noise behind her and turned around quickly seeing the vampire right next to her. She tried to circle back but fell over and let out a scream. Stupid heels, she thought. I am never wearing them again. As the vampire stood over her blocking the light from a streetlight she realised if he killed her she would never wear shoes again.
Dawn tried to push him off but he grabbed at her hands preventing her from moving. She closed her eyes waiting for it to be over with knowing she was helpless.
***************
As the cool night air hit him. Spike stopped in the road searching for Dawn's scent. He sensed it and ran towards the frightened girl. He heard her scream and warped into his game face furious with the other vampire for hurting Dawn. He turned the corner of the street and looked across to see Dawn lying across the ground with the vampire sitting on top of her ready to bite her.
Spike ran at the vampire lifting it up off Dawn and throwing it to the ground. He stepped across to him and began punching him across the face. He hit the monster several times until his face was just a bloody mess. Spike was taking all his anger out on this vampire.
'Spike?' Dawn asked as she slowly sat up clutching her wrist from when the vampire had fallen on it.
Spike turned to Dawn forgetting the vampire and helped her up. 'Your hurt,' Dawn said seeing the cut above his eye.
'Yeah,' Spike said acknowledging it. 'You too,' He said taking her hand.
'It's ok, it'll just bruise.' Dawn said. She looked up at Spike his face no longer looking like a vampire. She stared into his eyes. He stared at her. They stood there for a moment, her hand in his. Dawn smiled at him unsure of what he was thinking.
As Spike looked at her, he saw how beautiful her smile was which just made him smile at her. He moved towards her and went to kiss Dawn and they were so close. He moved so slowly, unsure of himself, unsure of whether this was what Dawn wanted. As their lips were about to meet, Spike heard a clatter to the side. Although he didn't want to move away he had to. He didn't have time to regret it as immediately the same vampire they had forgotten about had knocked Spike over.
He pulled at Dawn's shoulders and was going in to bite her so she did what any girl would do. Screamed and kicked him as hard as she could between the legs.
The vampire stepped back obviously wounded and surprised at the attack. Spike seized his chance and punched the vampire knocking him to the ground.
'Dawn I need a stake.' Spike said looking around. Dawn searched the alley until she found something suitable. Dawn turned back to Spike who was now kicking the vampire on the floor.
'Here.' She handed it to him as the vampire kicked out knocking Dawn to the floor.
'Dawn,' Spike shouted worried looking at her lying on the ground. He quickly dusted the vampire and leaned over Dawn.
'Niblet, you ok?' Spike asked worried.
Dawn sat up a little shaken but ok. 'I'm fine,' she said as Spike helped her to her feet. They stood for a moment bruised and shocked.
'Dawn.' Spike started. But before he could say anything else Dawn had moved closer to him, put her arms around his neck and began to kiss him. She kissed him lightly and then looked into his eyes. Immediately they began to kiss again more passionately this time both wanting it to happen.
'Dawn?' Almost as quickly as it happened they pulled away
They both heard a frantic shout. 'Dawn are you there?'
'It's Willow,' Dawn explained recognising the voice.
'I'm over here guys,' she shouted back. They moved apart quickly as the others came around the corner.
'Are you ok?' Willow asked worried. 'We came back from the bar and you had gone, we panicked.'
'It was just a vampire, but Spike was here, so it's all good.' Dawn said trying not to sound as guilty as she felt. She was so glad it was dark and Spike and the others couldn't see her blushing.
I should take off,' Spike said looking at Dawn. 'Um. maybe I'll see you later.' Spike said trying not to seem weird or suspicious.
