A/N: Sorry this took so long, I've actually had this story finished for a year now I just never got around to typing it up. I actually got bored with this story, and lost my interest in it, but I will finish it for anybody who is still interested in it. Thanks to everyone who stills reads this.

Chapter 10- Unpleasant Surprises

-- "It seems Dawn was here with Spike and they just fled through the window." -- Spike and Dawn slowly turned around to see the Hell Goddess herself; Glory.

-----

Buffy and the others walked quietly through the graveyard, except for Tara who kept muttering to herself. Suddenly Buffy could feel a vampire near by. She tightly held on to her stake as a dark figure stepped out of the shadows. All of the gang's eyes widened in shock as the vampire stepped into view.

"The stars told me you'd be here," the dark haired women said with a giggle. The vampire was none other than Drusilla.

"They actually whispered it in my ears. And they told we where my Prince was, he has a big choice to make," she continued as she swayed dreamingly, "but my Prince will turn to me, three years will fall when a century comes into play."

"What makes you so sure?" Buffy said through gritted teeth.

"Oops, slayers angry," Dru sang.

"I'd stay and sing with you, but I have to meet my dark Prince in the trees," she said and giggled as she disappeared into the shadows.

"In the trees?" Buffy repeated confused. All she knew was that she needed to find Spike, and fast.

-----

"Lookie what we have here, the Slayer's kid sis and her vampire," Glory said.

"And to what do we owe this unpleasant surprise," Spike said stepping protectively in front of Dawn.

"I don't have time to play games; I need to find the Slayer. We have a prophecy to discuss," Glory said impatiently.

"I don't really like to play games either, do lets get straight to the point," Spike said, his fist connecting with her face.

Glory stumbled back a step; without turning around Spike commanded, "Run Nibblet."

Dawn ran to stay behind a crypt and watched from a far as Spike and Glory began to fight. Even though Glory was stronger, Spike still held his own ground. Finally, Spike drew in most of his strength to kick her hard enough to send her flying. Thus giving him a chance to get away before she even hit the ground. He grabbed Dawn and started running. Although, since he had super speed he threw Dawn over his shoulder and ran into the woods.

"Spike!" Dawn yelled, "this is uncomfortable!"

"You'd rather have a tea party with a Hell Goddess?" Spike asked giving her a quick look.

Dawn sighed in defeat and just glanced up to check to see if they were being followed. "I think she's gone, you can put me down now," Dawn told him.

Spike finally stopped in a large clearing in the woods. He carefully placed Dawn back on the ground.

"You okay?" Spike asked concerned.

"Yeah, fine. Thanks," Dawn answered.

Spike was about to say something when he stopped suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Dawn asked watching him closely as he looked around.

"Someone's coming," he explained.

"Glory?" she asked nervously.

"No, there's more than one person," Spike replied before grabbing Dawn and pulling her with him into a near by bush so they could hide there in the shadows.

-----

"I think we should check the woods, they have lots of trees," Willow explained.

"Good thinking Wills," Xander commented before charging forward.

"All right then, lets go," Buffy announced as she also started off with the rest of the Scoobies.

Buffy walked silently as the others spoke behind her. They walked into a large clearing and that's when Buffy felt a vampire close by. She knew right away it was Spike, she'd had three years to memorize the feeling he caused. However, before she could do anything she heard someone say, "I finally caught up with you, you should really learn how to stay put."

-----

Spike and Dawn watched as Buffy and the others walked into view.

"Looks like they followed us," Dawn whispered.

"No kidding," Spike said, earning himself a punch in the shoulder from Dawn.

"Ow!" he exclaimed.

Dawn gave him a look before stating, "Baby."

Spike wore a look of hurt before whining, "Meanie."

Dawn tried to glare at him, but ended up having to stifle her giggles.

That's when they heard the familiar voice say, "I finally caught up with you, you should really learn how to stay put."

Spike and Dawn watched the scene with wide eyes as Glory walked up to Buffy.

"Now, we have a prophecy to discuss," she explained.

"Maybe we'll finally find out what they've all been talking about all day," Dawn said as they both looked on through the bushes.

-----

"I don't have anything to say to you," Buffy said as she started to swing at her.

Glory blocked every punch while saying, "Then I'll start. It has to do with a prince and two princesses, which is so cheesy but there really isn't anything I can do about that. But I need to find this 'prince' because he has a choice to make which will decide the outcome of what will happen to my precious KEY. Ringing any bells yet? Now, tell me where I can find this mystery man."

"Wish I knew, but I haven't the slightest clue," Buffy lied.

Glory looked at her curiously, "Really? Surprising, I don't believe you."

-----

Both Spike and Dawn sat there confused.

'What is she talking 'bout pet?" Spike asked.

"I don't know," Dawn answered just as confused.

"I think it's time we get out of here Nibblet," Spike said as he grabbed Dawn's hand.

He pulled her up and started off in the other direction. They stayed in the shadows cast on them by the trees, so they weren't seen. They didn't get very far before they were stopped... again. They heard a soft giggle in the distance. The dark figure walked closer and said, "It's my Spikey."

Spike sighed and muttered, "This day just gets better and better."

"Dru? What are you doing here?" Spike asked stepping in front of Dawn once again.

"Don't worry my prince, the stars sent me," she said walking towards him.

Spike turned to Dawn and told her, "Go to big sis, but stay hidden 'til Glorys gone."

"You okay here?" Dawn asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," he replied.

Dawn looked over at Dru then back to Spike before nodding her head. She turned and went back to find her sister.

Spike watched Dawn until he couldn't see her anymore, then he turned back to face Dru.

"Now, tell me why you're here," Spike demanded.

-----

When Dawn saw Buffy, she was still talking with Glory. Dawn tried to stay hidden behind the trees as she walked closer. As she got even closer to the pair she watched Glory turn to look directly at her.

"Damn," Dawn silently cursed to herself.

"Hey, it's slayer's kid sis again," Glory commented.

Dawn went to stand behind Buffy with the rest of the Scoobies.

"Where's the vampire?" Glory asked.

"That's none of your business," Dawn snapped.

"No need to get feisty with me," Glory said, putting her hands up in a sign of mock defense.

While Buffy was still in fighting stance glaring at Glory, Giles walked to Dawn and grabbed her shoulders so she was forced to look at him.

"This is very important Dawn, where is Spike?" Giles quietly asked her.

Dawn paused for a second to think before answering, "He's with Dru."

All the Scoobies' eyes widened in horror, even Buffy quickly forgot all about the Hell Goddess and whirled around saying, "What?!"

And just then a huge white beam came from a distance, reaching from the ground to the sky. The ground shook and everyone, accept Buffy and Glory, hit the floor for cover. "What was that?" Buffy asked.
