"He'll turn up eventually."

"I can't believe I'm walking in the sewers," Dawn complained.

"You can leave anytime," Spike said.

She stopped and looked over at him. "I would never leave you," she said honestly.

He stops to look at her and smiles. "Thanks bit." Spike really did care about Dawn. She was like a little sister to him and he loved her.

They smiled at each other before they continued walking. That is, until Dawn realized something, "Hey, where's my bookbag?"

Spike rolled his eyes and said, "You left it in my crypt, didn't you?"

"Uh..."

"I guess they know you're with me then."

"They would have noticed eventually," Dawn said.

"I hope," she continued.

There was a pause before Dawn asked, "Where are we going anyway?"

"I have no idea," he replied honestly.

Dawn stopped for a minute to think of where they could go. It had to be where nobody would be.

"I got it!" Dawn yelled excited.

"And what's that?" he asked.

"Why don't we just go to my house. Everybody is at the Magic Box and Buffy won't be home until after patrol," she suggested.

"They leave you alone for that long?"

"Not really, but today is different since your supposed to be watching me," she explained.

"To your place then," he said as they headed towards the house in the sewers.

Meanwhile, Buffy and the others reentered the Magic Box.

"What happened?" Willow asked.

"It seems that Spike felt the three of us coming and fled," Giles said.

"Yeah, and he has Dawn with him," Xander says aggravated.

"Oh goddess, I thought she went home," Willow says. But she is relieved that Spike had been able to get away. And she knew that Dawn would be fine since she was with Spike.

"Apparently she went back to Spike's crypt," Giles says.

"Aren't you worried?" Anya asks.

"What?" Buffy says.

"If Spike is supposed to become the big evil, do you really think is safe?" she asked.

"She should be fine until Drusilla arrives," Giles says.

"Wait, Dru is coming?" Xander asks.

"She has to, so Spike can choose," Giles explains.

"Great, just what we need," Xander complains.

~~~~~~~~~~

Spike and Dawn ran to the house from the manhole. Spike's skin was only smoking a little from the quick run in the sun.

"How long do we have until sundown?" Dawn asked sitting on the couch.

"A little more then an hour," Spike replied sitting next to her.

They both leaned back and Spike asked, "What do we do now?"

"Movie?" Dawn asked.

~~~~~~~~~~

"What are we supposed to do now, just wait for Spike to pick Drusilla?" Xander asked. He was practically pissing his pants now. Because soon Spike was going to get the chance to kill them all, including Xander. And since he hasn't been the nicest person to Spike, Xander could only feat what the Bleached vamp would do to him.

Tara was still talking about how love would light the way. No one took notice in what she was saying, Willow just tried to calm her down.

"I honestly haven't a clue," Giles said putting his book down to clean his glasses.

Buffy put the book she was pretending to read down as well and said, "I'm gonna head home to see if Dawn is there."

"We'll let you know is we find anything," Willow told her.

Buffy left the Magic Shop and headed home. She had a feeling both her sister and Spike might be there.
