AN: Everyone is human. Though this basically stars Spike and Dawn... Spike kidnapped Dawn and things are happening. Enjoy.

To answer someones review: No Dawn does not have an eating disorder nor is the food poisoned. It's just her paranoia. Thank you.


"Fuck," she cried to herself as she looked at the mess she made.

The brunette had started her period during the night, the evidence on her sheets. She felt like a complete idiot, walking down the staircase with a bundle of soiled sheets in her hand. But she decided to not let it bother her.

"What do you want?" Spike asked, turning his gaze from the fire to her.

"I need to know where the laundry room is because I've got to wash these."

She pointed to the bedding that she threw on the floor at her feet. He gave her a questioning glance, but she ignored it.

"My period started last night and because of my body trying to scrape off my uterus lining, I bled all over the sheets," Dawn commented, trying to be as vulgar as possible. "So, let me ask again. Where's the damned washing machine?"

Spike's eyes went from wide to horrifically scared in under three seconds, but then his sardonic grin replaced his emotions.

"'Least I know why you've been so goddamn bitchy," he smirked as he pointed her down the hallway and to the right.

When she came back, she padded in front of him with light feet. Dark waves bounced up and down as she huffed about.

"We have to go to the store," she cried, her stomach already cramping up.

"The closest bloody store is Mulligan's which is little under an hour away," he argued with a tired voice.

"I'm bleeding. At this very moment. My breast are on fire and my back is killing me. I'm going to go through this for about six days. If you think I'm bitchy now, you just wait until my second day," she screamed, hands going everywhere and her heartbeat accelerated. "And I swear to God, if I don't get any fucking chocolate, I will castrate anyone I get my hands on."

Spike gulped, seriously scared for the first time in his life. Dawn was erupting in the kitchen, with knives all around. There was one that was glaring at him, mocking him. She could so easily grab it and slice him to pieces. The blonde had never been around someone as hormonal as this small girl in front of him.

"Fine," he replied after thinking it all through. "But if you try anything funny, I'll kill you."

The car ride was silent except for the silent huffs of frustration and pain. She folded the chair back and crawled up into the fetal position, hoping for any ease of her cramps. She has had past happenings of excruciating pain from her menstrual period in her record. The brunette had been known to pass out from the pain; the teacher's finding it annoying and would send her to the nurse. But hopefully, if she kept grinding her teeth together, she could get through the worse part of it.

The blonde glanced over at the girl in question; her eyes were clinched, her teeth were biting through her lip, and fingernails were clawing at her skin. He pressed the foot down harder on the accelerator, knowing that if she didn't get relief soon, he'd start to feel bloody symphony pains.

Going an extra fifteen over the speed limit, the ride was quick. He parked his Mustang and unbuckled his seat belt.

"I've got money," she huskily said from the pain.

"Okay. I'll be standing at the front. If you try anything..." he left hanging and gave her a deadly look. She nodded and exited the car.

The first thing she grabbed was some maxi pads. Then came some Midol that she opened and swallowed two dry. Next was a bag of chocolate, some salt and vinegar chips, and a bottle of water.

"Is this all?" came a monotonous voice from the counter.

"Nah, I want a pack of Marbol lights."

He didn't bother checking for an ID for she looked at least twenty-one and rang up the items.

"That'll be 15.73."

She paid the man and left the store, not bothering for her change, and met up with her blonde kidnapper.

"Got everything?" he asked while throwing his cigarette bud on the ground. She gave him the bag, knowing that he'd have to go through it. "You're too young," he scolded when he spotted the Marbols.

"The last time I checked, my birthday was five weeks away. Now it's probably two or so. I'm almost 18. Get over it," she snapped.

He let out a frustrated sigh and got in the car, thankful that when she hit the seat, she passed out.

When they returned to the mansion, she was sleeping. A slight snore was coming from her open mouth. He would have found it cute if she wasn't such a pain in his arse. He couldn't find it in him to wake her, so he slipped her slim figure in his arms. She was light as he carried her up the stairs and to the left. Her bed wasn't made, all the sheets damp from the washing machine, and he didn't feel like making another bed, since they all were bare. So he took her to his room.

"Night love," he murmured against her skin as he placed a small kiss on her forehead.

While covering her up with the blanket, he wondered why he just kissed her. Better yet, he wondered where he was going to sleep.

She woke up to a body spooned against her. It had been along time for anyone has touched her, yet alone slept with her. It felt good to have someone to nuzzle against. But when she opened her eyes, she saw her blonde headed kidnapper.

She screamed.

"Oh my god!"

Her hands connected with his naked torso, slapping him away. He wasn't physically touching her, but he was close enough so she felt his heavy breath on her neck.

"Stop it, you bloody bitch," he moaned grabbing her wrist, mid slap.

"Get away from me, you nasty pervert," she yelled, trying to back away but his hold on her was too good.

"Calm down," he told her in a slow, calm voice. "We didn't do anything. Your sheets are in the bloody wash and I didn't feel like sleeping on the couch," he explained. "So just, go back to sleep."

He let go of her arms and rested his head back on the pillow. She relaxed, going against her better judgment, and crawled back into a comfortable position. It took only seconds for her to fall back to the land of nod.


I found this to be an interesting chapter. Ha. I had fun writing this part. Okay, read and review. Thanks!
