"Wear are we going."
"Away."
"Won't you at least tell me wear were going to."
"Not inclined to nibblet."
"Spike!"
But this time Spike made no answer. Truth be told he wasn't positive wear they were going. And until he figured it out he wasn't about to let her know that. She sat there pouting, a very cute pout if you think about it. But he shouldn't not yet anyway. He was going to go slow. He had already gotten out of the grasp of the slayer that was enough for one day. This thought brought him back to the begging, or rather the begging of the end. The day he left, the day he and the slayer made a pact.

The day was cold and damp. A little on the dreary side with no hope of the suns full arrival. Not that Spike minded, of course he didn't mind. This was perfect weather for a vampire. His head was full of happy thoughts like being able to go outside in the day time something he hadn't done in about a 124 years. And thoughts of Dawn, his Dawn. He would go see her, walk right up to the school. He couldn't stay away from her all of late and it was driving him crazy. He knew it was a little strange a 124 year old vampire and 16 year old girl, but there was no stopping the feeling of rightness or the passion that curled up inside him every time he saw her. And she sure as hell didn't seem to mind his attentions; not that he let her notice that he was giving them to her too often. He would take her away; to wear it didn't matter if it wasn't for the bloody slayer. How was one suppose to do anything with that over protective bag of blood always hanging around. He would have to work around her that's all. Soon very soon she be off fighting some baddy and he have the chance to seduce Dawn all right and popper. He'd be careful with her. She was more to him then a meal or a quick role in the hay. She'd know it to. But when, when could he tell her. Tonight, tonight after the blood bag had left for slayer duty. He'd tell her tonight.
He walked until the school came in view. It was eleven o'clock and he knew Dawn would be getting out for lunch. She had told him that once before when she had been in the middle of a ramble about a school day. He looked around for a moment before he walked in the side door and out to the quad. He got some strange looks from the guys he passed in the hallway but the females didn't seem to mind his presence. He walked out the doors spotting Dawn sitting with a group of girls her own age. He walked right up to her paying no attention to the looks and stairs that greeted him. As if she sensed him there she spun around and gasped.
"Spike, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see you nibblet." He said with a grin.
"But Spike what happened, how are you... its day time." she said sounding exasperated.
"Clouds nibblet. Lots of them today."
"Well I, that's great Spike but why did you come to see me?"
Spike smiled at this because even though she sounded a bit confused her body langue also read as being very pleased.
"Come on, lets get out of here. We can go to the beach or something."
"Really, wow that's great I just got to get my stuff."
Spike stood there as Dawn turned and asked one of the girls to take notes for her in the rest of her classes and although the girl couldn't manage to speak yet she nodded her head in consent. Dawn then lead him to her locker wear she grabbed her coat and purse. She turned to ask Spike exactly wear he wanted to go when he shock his head denying her speech and led her out the door.

Spike was jerked back to the present by the sound of Dawns scream. He looked to her and saw that she was staring ahead, he glanced back to the road only to see that he was in the wrong lane and a truck was coming at them and fast.
