Spike was on his way back to his crypt when he heard Xander's high-pitched scream, "The boy really sounds like a bloody girl." Spike rolled his eyes and made his way up the hill not really in the mood for another fight. Which was completely different then how he usually felt.
Dawn lied to him.
It's not like he never lied to her. Actually he never did, not even when he was evil. There relationship was based on honesty. He asked her over and over to, not to be irritating, it was just because he cared about her. She was his bit.
He saw Xander trying to fight off a vampire while Giles was pinned against a car, he sighed and ran over to them quickly staking the vamp attacking Xander and then looked at where Giles was pinned, he was no where in site. "Where'd the Watcher go?" Spike called back to Xander.
Xander looked at him, coughing and brushing off the dust that covered his jacket. He looked around, "You lost him?!" Xander growled.
"Me?" Spike asked, "I just bloody got here!" He pointed to the whelp, "Maybe you forgot, I just saved your ass!" Spike reminded him, "So?"
"So what?" Xander asked, "You want me to thank you for trying to get in Buffy's pants again? Dream on, dead boy!" Xander snickered and looked around for Giles, "Can't you like sniff him out of somethin'?"
"Sniff him out?" Spike growled, "I'm not a bloody dog."
"No, you're worse then one."
Spike shook his head, "You go… the other way." Spike said as he started walking away.
Giles stood, surrounded by five or six vampires. He gulped, right now would be nice for one of the hero-types to come and rescue him. He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned, sighed in relief as he saw Spike.
"So, is this a private party? Or can anyone join?" Spike asked in his cocky voice.
The vampire who stood in the middle growled at the bleached vampire, "Go away, we saw him first." The boy growled.
Spike chuckled, "See. Youth, eh?" Spike asked looking at the Watcher, "They have no idea who I am." He said stalking in front of Giles; he wasn't looking for a fight. Maybe he could talk his way out of it.
What the bloody hell was the Summers' women doing to him? Not wanting to fight?
"You should all be bowing before me, you pathetic excuses for vampires, look at you, banding together to get a old watcher?" Spike snickered, "If it takes all of you to take down old Rupes here, then you have some serious problems."
Giles rolled his eyes but didn't say anything.
"Who the hell are you?" One of the vampires growled.
"I'm your worst enemy, William the Bloody, the Slayer of Slayers." Spike smirked, "Hey, I don't like the brag… well… I love to brag,"
Giles smiled softly but quickly covered it with a fake sob.
"Names Spike."
Some of them backed away but the leader laughed. "Spike? You expect us to get scared of a Slayer whipped Vampire?" The vampire asked with a wide smile, showing off his fangs. "Really taking in your sire's foot-steps aren't you?"
Both Giles looked at the stupid vampire, if he learned anything from his readings it was to NEVER compare Spike to Angel. If you did you had one hell of a death wish. Not only from his reading…
Spike was suddenly in the mood to kick demon ass, he charged forward punching the leader in the face, he watched as he fell to the floor, he looked up at Spike, a split lip. "Blood idiot."
"You don't hit me you idiot!" The vampire hollered.
"Depern, this is Spike." One of the vampires said to the leader.
Depern looked up at Spike and smiled, "I know." Depern smiled, "We go way back." He commented looking at a confused Spike, "You don't remember?"
Spike looked at him, "I… what?"
Giles looked at the two vampires who stalked toward him, "Spike!" He screamed and they attacked him.
Spike whipped around and grabbed the two of them, he staked one and the other kicked the stake out of his hand. Spike growled, frustrated.
Giles was grabbed by the leader, Depern. "So, you're the Slayer's watcher?" He asked chuckling, "Must be worth something!" he said throwing the watcher over to a vampire who gagged him.
Spike looked at Giles who was being thrown into a car, "Bloody hell!"
Ten seconds earlier
Buffy and Dawn walked over the path, "You think he was angry?" Dawn asked looking down at the cold gravel floor. She didn't want to face Buffy; she'd been threw enough and know she threw herself on the pile.
"I… I think he was disappointed." Buffy answered, her sisters long brown hair fell in front of her face, "He'll get over it." Buffy promised, "He loves you, he was just worried."
"Bloody hell!" They both heard the scream and Giles' muffled one.
Buffy looked down the hill at Giles being forced into a car and Spike fighting his way to save him. They made their was down the hill. Running as fast as they could.
Buffy ran to where they were shutting the car door, she grabbed the vamp, "Slayer." He growled. She rolled her eyes and staked him. She opened the car door.
Dawn jumped onto one of the vampires back's balling her fists and pounding on it's back as hard as she could. "Niblet!" Spike screamed.
Spike ducked a punch and grabbed the stake, he staked the vamps and then ran to where Dawn was when he got there the vampire hit her off of him and she hit the floor, hard. Spike growled jumping onto the vampire.
Dawn smiled as Spike rescued her… again.
Summers' House
The gang was in the living room, all except for Buffy, Willow and Tara sitting on the couch next to Giles. Spike leaning against the wall, one foot supporting him, Xander standing by the window, Anya sitting in the arm chair, and Dawn standing at the doorway.
Buffy walked out of the kitchen, she had a glass of water in her hand and she handed it to Giles who sat on the couch. "What did they want?" Buffy asked, "It's not like they could have known we were going to be out there."
Giles looked up at Buffy, "I have no idea."
"Maybe they have a seer." Anya commented.
"I don't think they knew they would run into us." Spike said, "Depern grabbed Giles and didn't want to feed on him, he said that He'd be worth something." Spike told them.
"Maybe it's some k-kind of trade?" Tara added.
"Angel told me about them." Buffy said, "They tried to get Cordelia. Because of her visions. You think there could be one in Sunny Dale?"
"There could be." Giles answered.
"I can go check it out." Spike offered, "Got to be talk about it at Willies."
Buffy nodded, "Yeah…"
"They seemed to know you," Giles said to Spike, "Did you recognize him?"
Spike shook his head, "I was as lost as you were."
"You think you could be his… sire?" Giles suggested.
"I don't think so." Spike said, "Maybe."
Buffy yawned. "I'm tired, you guys should head in." Buffy announced, "We'll talk more about this tomorrow."
Xander nodded and turned to Anya, Buffy silently watched as they left; Willow and Tara went up stairs to their room.
Dawn sat in the dinning room, watching Spike and Buffy talk in front of the front door. She could only make out some of what they were saying. She watched as Spike nodded and walked out the front door. Dawn sighed, didn't say goodbye.
She watched Buffy; she had a look of… lose? On her face. Despair washing over her once more. She wasn't stupid she knew that Spike was the only one who actually looked at her and didn't expect anything for his actions.
Everyone else did. Even her.
Buffy walked into the living room, Giles was standing, looking around the room. Buffy grabbed some blankets and a pillow and started fixing him a bed. "Thank you." He said softly turning to his slayer.
Buffy smiled sadly up at him but continued to make the bed.
"So, you and Spike have gotten close." Giles commented.
Buffy shrugged, "He's easy to talk to." Buffy explained and stood up, "And he doesn't treat me like a china doll." She added. Buffy sighed, "Truth? Sometimes I wish they did treat me like a china doll."
Giles took off his glasses and watched as she plopped down on the couch, "You're not making much sense."
Buffy shook her head, "So I'm told."
"You're not adjusting well… are you?"
Buffy sighed, breathing. Breath, ha, funny word. "I'm fine."
Giles nods, "Dawn's going to have a talk, yes?"
Buffy looked up and sees Dawn walk up the stairs, "She lied to Spike." Buffy said, "She wouldn't even do that before I was dead."
"It's a rough time, she's a teenager."
Buffy nodded, "He was really… upset about it."
"That's understandable, those two were inseparable when you were… gone, he was determined not to let that girl break a nail." Giles explained.
"He promised me… before I died, that he would protect her." Buffy told him.
"Ah…"
Silence
"So, Dawn's talk?"
"Right." Buffy said, "I'm glad you're here to take care of it."
Giles nodded and watched Buffy walk up the stairs and into her room. Giles sighed, getting up and walking to Dawn's room.
Buffy got to her room, she looked out her window, and opening the window latch letting the cold air hit her face. She closed her eyes enjoying the feeling. Her eyes opened, swept over the ground, the neighbor hood.
Her hell
She turned away not noticing Spike jump up, and sits down on her roof watching her. He noticed her reach in her closet and pull out a pink nightgown. He turned leaning against the house blocking the dressing the out of his eye line.
He heard the bed creak and he peeked over and noticed her shut the light and pull the covers over her small form. He closed his eyes, listening. Hearing the heart beat. The sound he'd lost for too long. He watched her drift into a deep sleep. He sat on her windowsill, a guard, and a watcher. He watched her restlessly twist and turn in her sleep.
He wanted to hold her again, show her that it was going to be okay. He remembered his first few nights back on Earth, he was a vampire, he couldn't compare. But he remembered the sleepless nights. The nightmares.
Her twists and turns stopped and she looked like she fell into a dreamless sleep. He closed his eyes and listened to the hum of her breath, the thump of her heart, a sound that he'd missed beyond belief.
He leaned back on the window frame, his eyes closed, listening, breathing, unneeded breaths.
TBc…
