It had been a week since Giles had left as Buffy reached the end of her
patrol. She decided to cut through the graveyard nearest her house in case
she ran into any demons.
Seeing her road over the gravestones she smiled triumphantly having avoided any vampires. She walked slowly showing her lack of energy. She was exhausted from just being here. She sighed quietly to herself remembering how happy she felt in heaven. She paused suddenly overcome with tiredness and sat on a grave. She groaned lowering her head onto her hands. She closed her eyes trying to block everything out, the noise, the light the feeling of being here. It wasn't usually this difficult any more but after a hard day all she wanted to do was crawl into her bed and sleep.
Her eyes knitted together in confusion on hearing voices caught in the gentle breeze. She slowly lifted her head, showing how intense the effort to move was.
She stood up awkwardly and looked around to discover where the voices were coming from. Unsure who or what it was Buffy cautiously walked through the edge of the graveyard concealing her self by trees.
As she neared the noises she turned around by a large bush obscuring whoever was talking. Careful to prevent them from seeing her she peeked out from the bush in case it was a group of vampires.
She gazed out at the two people instantly recognising them as Dawn and Spike. She relaxed her muscles and paused unsure if she wanted to return home just yet or remain in the silence of the night. Staring out at the two laughing and talking she didn't hear the vampire approach from behind her.
Buffy frowned wondering for a moment why Dawn was out with Spike. She thought Dawn had been at a friend's. Buffy thought back unable to remember which friend it was.
Buffy stared at them unaware of the vampire behind her. Suddenly the vampire ran at Buffy knocking her forward. She fell stopped only by a large stone grave. She gasped in pain grabbing her stomach as she sensed the vampire coming up behind her.
***************
Spike insisted on walking Dawn home. She had only been able to see him briefly that night but they both savoured any time to be alone. As they arrived at the exit to the graveyard that led to Dawn's house they paused. They said good night to each other here as Spike could see Dawn walking to her house preventing anything happening to her but it was far enough away that no one from the house would see them.
'So what are you doing now?' Dawn asked Spike as they slowly ambled through the graveyard.
'I'm visiting a demon, then home' Spike replied as if the most normal thing to do. Dawn didn't question why, she didn't need to know and as long as the demon didn't rip his head off. 'There's a rerun of Passion I want to see.' Dawn laughed smiling up at Spike not surprised by his nighttime activity.
'So I'll see you tomorrow,' Dawn said happily to Spike as they stopped by the entrance. 'I don't know when I can get away but....' Dawn paused seeing Spike step closer to her. She looked at him silently wrapping her arms around his neck and smiling happily. As they moved closer a crash from behind them caused Dawn to quickly move her arms and stare into the darkness. 'What was that? Can you see anything?' She added unconcerned.
'Don't see anything Niblet, probably just a cat.' Spike said his focus never moving from Dawn. She smiled under his gaze unaware Buffy was in trouble near by. As they moved towards each other again, stubborn they wouldn't get distracted again.
***************
As Buffy lay in the darkness she felt the vampire take her arm. Her instincts took over as she swung her leg around towards the vampire ignoring the pain shooting through her stomach. She felt her boot slam into the vampire's head sending him sprawled across the grass. She looked over at the vampire lying motionless on the ground and rolled back over. The pain in her stomach had increased after the forceful kick and she took several deep breaths trying to dull the pain. She tried to stand up faltering and grabbed at a grave to steady her self. She looked over at the vampire again who still lay motionless on the floor.
She turned back to check on Dawn to make certain she wouldn't encounter another vampire and froze.
***************
As Dawn and Spike pulled apart Dawn grinned up at him, wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug. He placed his hands across her hips resting his face in her hair. She pulled away slowly as if painful and kissed Spike again quickly before turning towards her house and walking away. As she continued happily down the street Dawn turned back to Spike blowing him a kiss. He smiled back at her digging his hands in his pockets staring after her. He watched how she moved, how she smiled at him how her hair bounced across her back as she walked and turned her head. He stared after the woman he adored before turning down the street to Clem's.
***************
Buffy took a sharp intake of breath realising she had ceased breathing a while ago. She continued to watch Spike and Dawn kissing unable to understand what she was seeing.
Buffy felt completely numb, this can't be real, this can't be happening. I must be seeing things; Buffy thought to her self, like the demon the others had created bringing her back. There must be another one; she thought logically to her self because her brain was telling her what she was seeing just couldn't be possible.
'Dawnie,' she whispered quietly to herself before the demon she had knocked out minutes earlier came flying at her once again pushing her to the ground. Although she had been oblivious of the vampire again her slayer muscles were warmed up ready. As she fell to the ground she completed a forward roll at ease landing back on her feet. She looked over at the vampire who had also returned to his feet and was standing in front of her ready to fight.
She squatted down to retrieve her stake as the vampire came running at her. The vampire swung his leg out aimed at the slayer but Buffy aware of the vampire's intentions neatly swung to the side. The vampire missed her and as his leg continued with momentum she turned grabbing his leg and lifting it up causing the vampire to fall onto his back. Buffy jumped up kicking the vampire across the side.
She didn't pause to stake the vampire instead pulling the vampire up by his shirt and throwing him against a mausoleum. He slumped against the concrete wall obviously in too much pain to move. Buffy slammed her fist across the vampire's face. Taking deep breaths she hit the vampire again across the cheek causing the vampires cheek to cut open from her ring making it bleed. She continued hitting the vampire violently pausing after every few punches to catch her breath. Her anger rising as she thought of Spike and Dawn the strength of her punches increased. The vampire's face now a bloody mess remained motionless.
As Buffy finally began to run out of energy her breaks between punches increased as she tried to catch her breath. Finally she fell to her knees exhausted from the fight and seeing Dawn and Spike. She quickly dusted the mangled vampire and sat taking sharp intakes of breath as her pulse gradually slowed to normal. She remained on her knees rolling the stake between her hands thinking.
Slowly Buffy stood up and turned towards the exit of the graveyard. Her face-hardened in concentration as she walked slowly and purposefully home for a confrontation with Dawn.
***************
Dawn sat on the sofa watching TV with a sandwich on her lap. As Buffy opened the door and walked into the living room, Dawn licked her fingers and muted the TV.
'Hey Buffy.' Dawn said happily. She was still grinning from seeing Spike. 'How was patrolling?' Buffy entered the lounge her arms crossed with a serous expression across her face. Dawn's smile fell immediately and was replaced with concern. 'What's wrong Buffy?'
When Buffy didn't reply Dawn stood up leaving the sandwich on the table. She touched Buffy's arms gently and repeated, 'What's happened?' Buffy looked up from the floor and into Dawn's eyes. There wasn't anger in her eyes; there wasn't sadness just disbelief.
'Dawn,' she said quietly staring at her little sister's eyes. 'I know.' Dawn's face gave nothing away. Since she had fallen for Spike she had become a great actress. But inside she was panicking unsure what Buffy knew. Did she know she hadn't been at her friends or did she know what she felt for Spike or what he felt for her?
'Know what?' Dawn said looking confused and afraid. Dawn backed away from Buffy subtly breaking eye contact and looking away. She turned slowly trying to avoid her sister's gaze.
'I know about you and Spike,' Buffy said calmly. Dawn head snapped around to her sister, Dawn's worst fears confirmed.
'Buffy?' Dawn questioned quietly, concerned, afraid of her sister's reaction.
'Buffy?' She repeated again after the long silence. Dawn turned away from Buffy picking up her dirty plate from the table. She turned back to Buffy and opened her mouth to speak again when Buffy took the plate from her. Dawn smiled nervously up at her sister.
Buffy looked down at the plate momentarily thinking before throwing the plate at the floor smashing it into pieces. Dawn jumped and turned to her sister afraid.
'Buffy I know what your thinking but...' Dawn began.
'But nothing,' Buffy shouted back. 'What the hell do you think you're doing?' Dawn looked away from her sister not knowing how to answer. 'Dawn,' Buffy said her voice beginning to waver. 'What has he done to you?' Dawn's head snapped up to Buffy's face.
'Nothing,' she said shaking her head before adding calmly. 'Buffy it's ok.'
'How can it be ok Dawn?' Buffy added unsure whether to be concerned or angry. 'He's a vampire.' She emphasised as if telling Dawn for the first time.
'It is ok Buffy, I love him.' Dawn said softly. Buffy looked straight at Dawn and then turned away sitting in an armchair her head in her hands. 'Buffy please talk to me,' Dawn begged worried about her sister. Buffy looked up at her sister and sighed sadly.
'How could you do this Dawn?' Buffy started.
'Buffy I love him.' Dawn argued back sympathetically. She knew Buffy couldn't understand but that didn't stop Dawn trying to explain.
'I know you think you do Dawnie.' Dawn looked at Buffy surprised. Dawn realised Buffy still saw her as a little kid, the child who liked to have her hair braided every night when she was seven.
'No Buffy I love him,' Dawn began honestly. She squatted down next to her sister in the chair trying to make her understand. 'He was there for me when you couldn't be, I know you left to save the world, for me, for the others but I needed you, I needed you the most and you weren't there. Everyone I loved kept leaving me and I had no one, except Spike.' Dawn looked at her feet not wanting to blame Buffy about leaving.
'Dawn,' Buffy said gently stroking her's hair. 'He preyed on you Dawn, used you when you were weak and vulnerable.' Buffy said livid at Spike. Dawn pulled away suddenly standing up glaring at Buffy angry she couldn't understand.
'Spike would never hurt me,' Dawn said holding back tears. 'You weren't here Buffy,' Dawn said spitefully. 'You can't know,' she said before pleading at her sister. 'He loves me Buffy.'
Buffy stood up stepping towards her sister. 'He can't feel love Dawnie he's a vampire why can't you understand that?' Buffy said confused by everything Dawn was telling her.
'Buffy I don't care he's a vampire I love him, just because you say so doesn't mean I can turn off my feelings.' Dawn said forcefully.
'He's a monster Dawn,' Buffy replied coldly thinking of all the horrific things she had seen him do and incidents he had told her about.
'No he's not,' Dawn said confidently. 'He's a good, he may have done these things in the past but not anymore.' Dawn looked at her sister pleading with her to understand.
Buffy ignored her sister's stares, 'Only because of the chip in his head, if the initiative hadn't put it there do you really think he'd be here in Sunnydale and not massacring a little girl your age in Europe?' Buffy debated.
'It doesn't matter,' Dawn said shaking her head. 'He has the chip,' Dawn almost screamed. 'He says he has changed, the chip changed Spike and I believe him.' Dawn said certainly. Buffy stared at Dawn angry at Spike that he could have done this to her little sister.
'I'm sorry Buffy,' Dawn said sadly to her sister as she gripped her hand. 'I'm sorry you had to find out this way. I love you Buffy, you're my sister there's no one more important to me than you. But I love Spike as well and I can't change that. I'm not expecting you two to be best friends but try Buffy...for me.' Dawn looked at he sister pleading with her. 'Buffy I can't help I'm in love him,' she admitted honestly.
'I'm going to kill him,' Buffy said moving towards the weapon's chest.
'No,' Dawn screamed her eyes wide with panic tears falling down her face. 'Buffy please,' she begged. 'You can't,' Dawn said grabbing her arm. 'Buffy I love him,' she whispered as her tears stopped. Buffy stopped and turned to look at Dawn, her face solemn. Dawn saw the serious look in her eyes.
'Dawn,' Buffy began softly. You're not to see Spike again,' Dawn eyes widened. She blinked refusing to let herself cry again in front of Buffy. 'I won't let you out of my sight until you're over this ridiculous crush.' Buffy added coldly showing no emotion. Dawn stared at her sister completely in shock. Buffy touched Dawn's shoulder trying to make her understand. 'Dawn?' Buffy said her face softening.
'Don't touch me,' Dawn spat back stepping away out of her sister's reach. She looked at Buffy in disgust before turning and running up the stairs just as the door opened and Willow entered. She looked up towards Dawn confused before walking towards Buffy.
Buffy had sat on the couch her head in her hands.
'Are you ok Buff?' Willow said concerned. Buffy looked up to her and nodded.
'What's wrong with Dawn?' Willow said pointing up the stairs.
'We had a fight,' Buffy said exhausted. 'Nothing important,' Buffy added staring up the stairs after Dawn. 'Will, I don't know if I've just made a huge mistake.' Buffy said honestly. Willow hugged her best friend comforting her. She didn't need to ask what it was about as Willow carefully picked up the broken crockery on the floor.
OK GUYS WERE YOU EXPECTING BUFFY TO FIND OUT TODAY? TELL ME HONESTLY IT WAS A SHOCK. I HOPE IT WAS AS I THOUGHT THE STORY NEEDED STIRRING UP.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
Again to my fabulous reviewers you guys rock. I'm a little teary eyed about how great you are and how nice but I'm being a little over emotional
To Nicola who actually reviewed and emailed me about my story, just wanted to say thanks and you reply to emails scarily quickly. But thanks anyway. Ok I know it just means we were on the net at the same time but I'm still in awe of the wonders of technology.
To Enn enn who has reviewed 4 like ever I love that you tell me your favourite bits, it just proves you read my story. Lol
To saifai you are always so nice to me in my reviews and I do really appreciate it. I don't say this to them enough but you are all so lovely.
To Lexiantor there is nothing wrong with being long winded, I enjoy good rambles about nothing in particular just ask my friends. Talking about anything and everything is always fun and I intend to do it more.
Great thanks to spearsister who reviewed my story twice, yes twice, you could all take a leaf out of her book. I'm just kidding wanting more than one review is just greedy but if you do get the urge go right ahead.
Ok guys you know I love you all right, well I'm so close to 100 reviews and was wondering if with this chapter we could make it. This is my first story and I'm just so proud of it and to show the world it is a 'great' story or boost my self-confidence or belief or whatever. What do you say? This is like the last hurdle (before I want 150 reviews lol)
