WAH! I'm horrible! Blame writers block! It decided to pay a visit for me for a whole week! -sobs- you all must hate me...
I hope you haven't given up on my story...I'll try to make this chapter as long as possible...
Anyways I'm probably going to change the rating to R for Spike's nasty language and for some possible suggested scenes. And hell there might be a lemon in here for all I know! And fluffy stuff! And action! Whew...lots to do, so I'll cut the small talk and give you the chapter!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------
- Last Chapter –
'I wonder what he's doing back here in Sunnydale...not like it's the most luxurious place in the world...' she sighed while pulling her covers up to her chin. 'Ah well...probably just passing through...always time to find out about it...tomorrow'
And with that, she closed her eyes and waited for sleep to take her.
- Comedy and Demon's don't mix -
"See...to men, sex is like shopping. They go in, get what they want, then get out. Women...browse!"
Laughter filled the up the club which was packed, all eyes on the comedian that was up front on the small stage. Tables where squished together and servers where walking around passing out drinks and pizza to the people.
"And I find it amazing how women can overreact so much to lets say engagement ring. They go to their office and they have to show EVERYONE!"
More laughter and slight clapping came from the audience.
"Yeah, it's scary because all of a sudden it's: AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! How did you notice it?" the comedian batted his eyes as the crowd laughed even more.
"How did I notice? You almost poked my eye out with it!"
Dawn smirked while turning her back to the stage and looked to the bartender who was busy mixing drinks for an order.
"He's good" she commented as the man looked up to her while placing the drinks on the tray in front of him.
"Yeah, and the scary thing is that it's true" he threw her a roughish smirk.
Dawn gave him a mock pout. "What does that mean?"
"Oh come on Dawn, you and I both remember how you reacted to Carla getting married..."
"I was happy for her!" the young girl protested.
"You cried"
"So?!"
"See...when men get married..." the comedian laughed slightly before pulling a serious face. "We don't tell a soul..."
Laughing and clapping sounded the room once more as Dawn picked up the tray and began to wind her way in between the tables before reaching her destination and began to unload the drinks to a newly wed couple.
"Ladies and gentlemen they always say you are as good as your audience and I've must have been great because you have been great! Thank you! Goodnight!" the comedian blew them all a kiss before the host came up and shook his hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen sit tight because we have another act coming at you...please welcome Drew Harrison!"
"How long have you two been married for?" Dawn asked the couple with a grin as she placed her tray under her arm.
The woman looked up to her with a smile as she slipped her arm through her husbands before happily replying. "Three weeks now"
"Wow, congrats!"
"Thank you" they both grinned at her before she slipped away and headed back to the bar for another tray of drinks.
The bartender, Jake, shook his head at her as she returned. Dawn noticed this and raised an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Nothing..."
Dawn just turned away from him, another full tray now balancing carefully on her hand as she went back, weaving between the tables once again.
She was working quickly to get out of people's view range as the new comedian started his act, making the audience laugh, and Dawn found herself laughing now and then. She had one more drink left on her tray and she came to the stop at table 20 at the very back to drop it off.
"Here you are" she said cheerfully as she placed the bottle of beer before the customer.
"Thanks pet, never thought I'd see you working here..."
Dawn had, had her back turned and was beginning to step away before she froze, wait...she knew that voice.
Slowly turning back around, she came face to face with none other then Spike.
"Spike? What are you doing here?" she asked, closing both of her arms around the empty tray in her hands as she raised an eyebrow at the British vampire.
"Well can't a man get a few drinks and laughs?" he asked with a smirk before leaning foreword in his seat.
"Well I guess so..." she shrugged lightly before glancing up to the clock, then back to him.
"When do you get off?" he asked.
"Fifteen minutes, why?"
He let a loose shrug roll off his shoulders. "Thought we could talk, seeing how I'm back for a bit, want to know how the little Nib-"
Dawn raised an eyebrow and opened her mouth to correct him but he bet her to it.
"I mean, to see how you're doing..."
"Well, I'm almost finished up here" she informed him and he nodded.
"Alright"
She shot him a small smile before turning on her heel and walked off.
Once she was out of his view, she let out a breath that she had been holding. Why? Hell she didn't even know.
Maybe she just needed some air...
Yeah, that's probably it...
Dawn looked around before going behind the counter and out the back door, letting the fresh air fill her senses, of course, before smoke replaced it.
Ah yes, this is where the smokers came... How stupid of her to forget.
"Hey Dawn" a voice purred to her right and she turned to face her old friend Janice, who was holding a cigarette in her hand.
Dawn smiled "Hey, I thought you were quitting"
Janice rolled her eyes. "Yeah, that lasted...an hour...so..." she had that mischievous glint in her eye as she stamped her stick on the ground and pulled her friend aside. "Who's the hottie?"
"What?" Dawn's eyebrows knitted together into a questioning look.
"The blonde at the back! He's been there all night! I've tried everything to talk to him and you just walk up to him and he talks to you as if you two were friends!"
"Oh! You mean Spike?"
"Is that his name?"
"Yeah" Dawn nodded, crossing her arms over her chest for some warmth.
"Sound dangerous..."
It was the brunettes turn to roll her eyes. "Not really, I mean he can't hurt anyone because of the-"she stopped after seeing Janice's confused look. "I mean..."
Janice shook it off with her head. "Anyways...do you know him? Do you have his number? Does he have friends?" she asked quickly with a smirk.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Slow down girl! Yeah I know him, and I don't think he has a number...and I'm not sure about friends..."
"Ohh...a loner eh?"
"Well...I guess...but I wouldn't really try anything with him" Dawn said thoughtfully.
"I get it..."
Her green eyes rested back on her friend, who was lighting up another cigarette.
"Huh?"
"You don't want me moving in on your territory!"
"What?! No! Spike is not my territory!"
"So he's open?"
"Well yeah but-"
"Great! Go back in there and talk about me!" Janice said with a grin while pushing the protesting girl towards the door.
"Janice! But-wait! No!"
"Come on girl! You SAID he was open territory! I'm interested!"
Dawn sighed. "Alright fine..." she mumbled before grabbing the door handle and pulled it open.
The sound of clapping filled her ears once she reached the club again and she glanced over to where Spike was drinking his beer.
She sighed. Why was she so nervous?!
Must be because of that dream...
Dawn shuddered at the thought.
Yeah, that's probably it. The dream, blame it all on the dream.
Why was she nervous? The dream!
Sucking in a breath, she began to wind her way over to his table before pulling a smile.
"Hey"
Spike's blue gaze snapped up and met hers before a smirk pulled at his pale lips. "Hey" his foot pushed on the chair across from him, making it slide out before straightening slightly in his seat. "Have a seat"
Dawn nodded before sitting down and looked around the area, then up to the comedian who was giving his thanks before the host came back up.
"So...when did you start working here?" Spike asked, his eyes looking straight into hers, and truth to be told, it was making Dawn slightly uncomfortable.
She shifted slightly in her seat while brushing her hair back. "Well, when I started having money troubles, which was roughly...two years ago"
The vampire's eyebrows shot up at this. "Wow...started working here even though you can't drink"
"It's not like I haven't!" she shot quickly before looking away from him. "My roommate's dad owns the place, so he pulled some strings" she explained.
Spike nodded as he downed the rest of his beer and set it down on the table.
By now, the club was starting to clear out, and only a few people remained to finish off their drinks and talk with one another.
They had switched over to the radio over head as they usually did and a song started playing softly, one Dawn knew well too.
-Don't worry 'bout one thing
Don't worry 'bout nothing
She said I'm not gonna let this one go-
They soon fell into slightly comfortable conversation, talking about what each other had been doing lately with their lives and such. Yet the question from last night kept on nagging at the back of Dawn's mind, and she had a slightly suspicion that Spike knew what it was.
- Nobody's on my side
Nobody seems to see
How much, how deep, how far these things can be-
"Spike..."
"Yeah?"
"What ARE you exactly doing back in Sunnydale? I mean, there's nothing really here anymore to bring you back or anything..."
Spike smirked as he leaned back in his seat, but kept his gaze on her.
"Wondering when you'd be asking that..."
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest while waiting for his reply. -My eyes are dry and I...
My eyes are dry and
I,I still don't even know you
I,I still wish that I could hold you
I,I sometimes wanna die- "Well, I'm really more of passing through..." Dawn looked away from him. "Oh..." He looked at her before leaning foreword. "Yeah, kind of got myself into some trouble with a loan shark...so now I gotta pay up, so I'm on my way to Los Angelus to get some money from a friend" Dawn blinked at him. She remembered Buffy telling her that Angel lived in Los Angelus, and that he and Spike used to work together along with two other vampires. "I thought you hated Angel" -And everywhere I go
And everyone I see
Somehow almost sets me free- Spike narrowed his gaze at her. "What? Of course I do! I'm not asking him!" "Okay! You're not asking him..." Dawn mumbled, with a slight roll of her eyes at his short temper. He sighed before twirling the empty beer bottle on the table in his hand. "I have some people down there that owe me a few things, so I figure I'll go down there, ask them to pay up and pay the loan shark before being on my way" "So, you don't plan on staying in Sunnydale?" Dawn managed to get out. -And the space where we meet
Is diferent from the rest
And I just can't seem to forget that-
The vampire sighed while looking her in the eyes again. "You know I can't pet...too many memories here..." "So?! You all left me and I continued on staying here! I'm doing fine! What makes it so much more different for you?" she snapped at him, glaring at him now. It was a tender subject for her to talk about, especially with him, he had been her last hope and even that was crushed. "Dawn..." She shook her head, looking away from him but didn't plan on storming away like last time, she wanted some more answers. -My eyes are dry and
I,I still don't even know you
I,I still wish that I could hold you
I,I sometimes wanna die
I, sometimes wanna die
I sometimes wanna...- "You staying at your old crypt?" she asked quickly while looking back to him. He swallowed slightly before nodding his head. "Yeah, had to bloody clean the place up, some damn demons took over and left a sodding mess" he shook his head slightly and Dawn smirked slightly. "We'll you haven't been here so I don't blame them" she commented. "Yeah, but still! It's not some junk yard!" he protested, making Dawn laugh slightly. -And you were the start
And now your the end
And you left me with nothing to defend
I need the voice of a good friend- "So...after you pay the loan shark and everything, what do you plan on doing?" Dawn asked while fiddling with the rim of the table cloth. He shrugged. "Don't know yet, might go traveling a bit, find someone who can get this bloody chip out of my head..." "Still there huh?" "Yeah, but I think it's slowly wearing down..." She nodded slightly while looking behind her to the empty stage, then back at him. "Found out that I could actually hurt someone as long as they let me..." he shook his head with a roll of his blue eyes. "Like that would bloody happen" Dawn smirked slightly. "Do you really expect anyone too?" -Can't stop myself from laughing
No matter how sad these things can be
These things can be- Another question was pulling at Dawn's mind and she finally decided to let it loose into the open. "If you do get the chip out and everything...are you going to go back to the way you used to be?" Spike averted his eyes up to the ceiling as he replied. "Don't even know anymore" he let out a short laugh. "Had it in there for years now, I mean, what's the point anymore right?" at that question he looked back down at her, seeing her nod slightly. They stayed silent for a few moments before an idea struck Dawn. "Well, since you're going down to Los Angelus...mind having one more passenger?" she asked.
-My eyes are dry and
I,I still don't even know you
I,I still wish that I could hold you
I,I sometimes wanna die-
"What?"
"Well I got accepted to this dance school that's down there, and I don't have a car or much money..."
He studied her for a few moments, making Dawn shift some more in her seat.
"I mean you don't have to or anything but-"
"Alright"
She blinked. "What"
"I said alright" he repeated with a smirk.
Dawn grinned. "Great! Thanks Spike! When do you leave?"
"I was aiming for tomorrow morning" he said as he leaned back into his seat some more.
"But I thought vampires weren't aloud into the sunlight"
"Nah, urban myth..." he said with a serious face.
"What? But..."
"I'm kidding..." he explained with a smirk.
"Oh...heh, right..."
"My car's windshields are painted black so there's no problem"
"How can you see?" she asked with a puzzled look.
"There's a part that's not painted black for that..." he said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
She nodded slightly before shrugging her shoulders. "Well, if you want, I could drive during the day...I mean, I do have my license and all..."
He looked at her again before shrugging as well. "Yeah alright"
The song slowly came to an end and they were pretty much the only people left in there.
-I sometimes wanna...-
Dawn looked up to the clock and blinked. "I guess I better be going..."
Spike looked up to the clock as well before rising from his seat. "Yeah, me too, got to get my stuff ready for tomorrow"
Dawn nodded. "I'll meet you at your crypt first thing in the morning"
Spike nodded before Dawn stood up and picked up his bottle before going back to the bar. When she came back, he was already gone.
Shrugging, she slipped into her coat before locking up the place and made her way down the street and towards her apartment. She may have her license, but she didn't exactly have enough money for a car quite yet.
Dawn looked up to the sky and sighed, watching her breath disappear into the crisp air. This was going well, she would be on her way to Los Angelus, and would be there by Thursday without any trouble at all.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't hear the sound of footsteps echoing from behind her.
It was when a hand grabbed her shoulder did she jump and spin around to face a large and VERY ugly demon with a drooling mouth, sharp yellow teeth, acid green eyes with yellow pupils and scaly skin.
She let a short scream out as its arm swept her aside and she flew into the air before landing hard on the ground.
She groaned while pushing herself up. After all those years with Buffy, you'd think she'd be used to the pain of being thrown around.
The demon approached her and she raised her right leg before kicking the thing in its chest, knocking him back slightly.
And that's when she heard a low growl from behind her.
Spinning on her heel, she came face to face with another one of the demons.
Taking a step back, she noticed two other ones behind it.
But that was all she saw before everything went black. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Well, I hope this chapter was long enough for all of you!
I won't be updating for a while though, on account that I'm going to my dad's and he doesn't have internet at the moment, then I'm off for a little family reunion.
Anyways, please, please, PLEASE review!
M.Parker.
WAH! I'm horrible! Blame writers block! It decided to pay a visit for me for a whole week! -sobs- you all must hate me...
I hope you haven't given up on my story...I'll try to make this chapter as long as possible...
Anyways I'm probably going to change the rating to R for Spike's nasty language and for some possible suggested scenes. And hell there might be a lemon in here for all I know! And fluffy stuff! And action! Whew...lots to do, so I'll cut the small talk and give you the chapter!

Dawn nodded. "I'll meet you at your crypt first thing in the morning"
Spike nodded before Dawn stood up and picked up his bottle before going back to the bar. When she came back, he was already gone.
Shrugging, she slipped into her coat before locking up the place and made her way down the street and towards her apartment. She may have her license, but she didn't exactly have enough money for a car quite yet.
Dawn looked up to the sky and sighed, watching her breath disappear into the crisp air. This was going well, she would be on her way to Los Angelus, and would be there by Thursday without any trouble at all.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't hear the sound of footsteps echoing from behind her.
It was when a hand grabbed her shoulder did she jump and spin around to face a large and VERY ugly demon with a drooling mouth, sharp yellow teeth, acid green eyes with yellow pupils and scaly skin.
She let a short scream out as its arm swept her aside and she flew into the air before landing hard on the ground.
She groaned while pushing herself up. After all those years with Buffy, you'd think she'd be used to the pain of being thrown around.
The demon approached her and she raised her right leg before kicking the thing in its chest, knocking him back slightly.
And that's when she heard a low growl from behind her.
Spinning on her heel, she came face to face with another one of the demons.
Taking a step back, she noticed two other ones behind it.
But that was all she saw before everything went black. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- Well, I hope this chapter was long enough for all of you!
I won't be updating for a while though, on account that I'm going to my dad's and he doesn't have internet at the moment, then I'm off for a little family reunion.
Anyways, please, please, PLEASE review!
