Chapter Thirteen

Phase One

The week passed quickly and there was no information found on the soul bond. It was driving poor Giles crazy and everyone else was being driven crazy by Giles. Spike and Fire had to go report to Basil. Upon entering the room all the other vampires moved out of the way for the two brothers. Their dusters billowed out causing them to look both cool and dangerous at the same time.

"There are my two spy warriors," Basil said as they walked into the private room. "How is everything going in the slayer's nest?" Fire sat giving a smirk.

"It's going bloody brill. So when are we putting the plan into action boss?" Fire drawled lazily. Spike quickly lit a cigarette to hide his proud smile. His brother had been adopting a lot more of his mannerisms lately.

"Tomorrow, phase one. Fire, you will bring me one of the slayer's friend," Basil said. "Make it a young tasty girl. One with some spunk perhaps. I can't wait to meet the slayer." He rubbed his hand together. Spike and Fire shared a look and nodded.

"Don't worry we have someone picked out," Spike said then took a drag from his cigarette.

"You two must be hungry. You must also be sick of cow's blood," Basil said leading them out into the other room and over to a frightened woman. "Go ahead eat." Fire changed first and turned to Spike who quickly put his Game Face on. Spike got close to the woman's ear and whispered "Sorry" before Fire and Spike feed off her killing her in the process. Basil gave a grin as the woman died. Fire and Spike pulled away and gave identical smirks. Spike felt his stomach turn from the woman's blood but swiftly pushed it down. Fire knew they had to leave quickly or Basil would know something was wrong.

"Thanks but we better get going. The slayer wanted to go bloody patrolling. So tomorrow just after sunset you will have the slayer's friend," Fire told Basil. The man nodded and they left shortly after.

Spike bolted upstairs as soon as they entered the house. Fire went into the living room and found almost all the scoobies. Xander and Anya were the only two missing. Joyce walked into the room handing everyone a drink and went to get a glass of water for Spike for when he came down.

"So?" Dawn said getting up so he could sit down. Fire sat down and pulled Dawn onto his lap. Spike walked into the room looking pale (even for a vampire) and shaky. Joyce passed him the water and stared at Dawn.

"What is going on here?" she asked indicating Dawn and Fire.

"You didn't tell her?" Fire commented.

"I was trying to find the right words," Dawn replied.

"You're dating a vampire! You're only fourteen years old! You're too young to have a boyfriend!" Joyce ranted pacing in front of her youngest daughter.

"Mom, I'm Fire's mate. He hasn't even bitten me yet," Dawn explained to her mother. Joyce stopped turning on Buffy.

"You knew about this and you just let it happen," She exclaimed.

"It's not something you can stop. The Powers sometimes give vampire's mates. It's like how I'm Spike's mate. I was chosen by the Powers to be his mate. Just like how Dawn was chosen to be Fire's mate," Buffy replied calmly. Her mother sagged down in a nearby chair sighing. "We have only known for a week. We would have told you sooner but you were in L.A." Joyce nodded.

"Now what happened?" Dawn asked impatiently.

"We have to start phase one tomorrow. Don't worry Spike and I have it all figured out. It will be a total surprise so it looks completely real," Fire replied.

The following night Fire watched as Dawn stepped out on the back porch. Spike and Fire had talked it over with Dawn. It was part of their plan without Buffy knowing. Dawn walked down the street. Fire followed her for a few moments before he grabbed her and then knocked her unconscious. Staring down at Dawn in his arms, he felt immensely guilty and knew he would have to make it up to her. As Fire entered the lair, two vampires took Dawn away from him.

"And who do we have here?" Basil asked watching as Dawn was put in shackles against the wall.

"That's the slayer's sister. She didn't see me so I better bolt," Fire said heading for the exit.

Buffy ran through the house panicking. Fire walked in the door holding Dawn's sweater. It hit her like a ton of bricks; they had chosen Dawn knowing Fire would kill anyone who hurt her.

"I found it on the sidewalk just down the street," Fire lied to make their plan work.

"Oh my god. Spike! Dawn's gone we have to find her!" Buffy said feigning panic as Spike walked into the room.

An hour later all the scoobies were looking for Dawn. They had split up and met in the middle of town. Spike and Fire carefully suggested looking in the sewers. Finally arriving at the chamber, Buffy growled heading straight for Dawn. The others went for the vampires. Several blocked Buffy's path, she kicked them away. She punched one in the face but another grabbed her from behind, she flipped him over and staked him. Buffy was in the thick of it with Spike and Fire throwing punches but no staking.

"Ah!" Dawn screamed. Fire turned to see two vampires advancing on her. He grabbed the crossbow from Xander; he aimed at one, dusting the vampire. He ran up to the other female vampire, grabbed the woman's head breaking her neck. Dawn smiled at him and then her blue eyes widened. Fire seeing her reaction turned jumped to the side getting sharp claws digging into his chest, it left three long claw marks on the right side of his chest. He let out a painful scream causing Dawn to strain against her bonds and to swear at the demon. Buffy growled loudly grabbing a sword from Giles and decapitated the rest of the vampires. She went at the clawed demons. Spike was looking for Basil while trying to fight a particularly ugly demon. Spike found him on a balcony above everyone, Basil grinned evilly watching the fighting and locked eyes with Spike. Buffy turned feeling someone trying to take over her lover's mind. Finding where Spike was staring and she quickly loosed a bolt at the vampire. Basil lifted a hand up stopping it turning it around. Buffy gasped as the bolt went clean through her shoulder. Fire quickly released Dawn and leaned against her for support. He was losing blood rapidly. Spike was suddenly floating towards Basil, who grinned evilly and laughed like a manic.

"Until next time, slayer," Basil said and disappeared with Spike in a cloud of black smoke.

"Spike!"
