Chapter 02: The King of Cleveland.
Spike jumped into the air and landed in front of the vampire.
"Hello, love. Name's Spike."
"William?" She asked.
"Spike," he said getting angry.
"William its' been almost a hundred years," she said changing to a happy tone in voice.
"Who the hell are you?" He asked.
"Spike!" Dawn yelled throwing a sword to him. He caught it and swung at the vampire.
"William, you always were impulsive. You need to work on that," she said sounding disappointed.
"Cecily?" Spike asked.
"Spike, dust her!" Dawn yelled.
"William, you're dating a human?" She asked.
"Dating?" Spike asked almost laughing. "No."
"Then what is your excuse?" Cecily asked.
"Spike, kill her!" Dawn yelled.
"And what is with the name Spike?" Cecily asked.
"Spike, explain what is going on," Dawn ordered. Spike stepped back.
"Dawn this is Cecily. Cecily this is Dawn."
"And what are you doing with her?" They both asked.
"Yeah, been great catching up with ya, Cec, but I got to dust ya," Spike admitted.
"Sad," she replied with a sigh.
Spike swung the sword and she jumped back. She kicked him in the chest and he fell backwards. Dawn jumped up and tried to stake her but she jumped back and kicked Dawn in the face. She fell backwards and Spike jumped in front of her. Cecily jumped out of the way of another sword slash and punched Spike in the nose.
"OW!" He yelled.
He dropped to his feet and tripped her. He grabbed Dawn's stake and brought it down at Cecily's heart. She jumped to her feet and jumped backwards to avoid another sword slash.
"Alright, William. You need to learn to behave," Cecily said as her face changed to the face of a vampire.
"You were the brat last time, love," Spike replied as his face changed as well.
She back flipped to dodge and jumped to the side. Dawn tried to sneak up behind her but she was knocked backwards. Spike swung over and over again but the female vampire was very spry.
"We'll continue this later, William," she said as her face changed back.
"I'm not fond of loose ends, love."
"Get over it," she said simply.
Cecily ran in the other direction and pushed Dawn out of her way. When she was gone Dawn got up and walked over to Spike.
"Who the hell was that?" Dawn asked.
"Questions later, pet," he replied, looking at the door Cecily had ran out of.
Spike and Dawn walked into a house that they had bought from a demon. It still smelled funny, but it was well priced. It had four bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living room. They had repainted since they had moved in two weeks ago. With some work Dawn had convinced Buffy to let her stay in Cleveland with Spike.
Dawn sat at the table. Her shirt had been stained with demon blood. She put her stake on the table and rested her head on her hand. Spike walked into the hall and opened a cabinet. He pulled out a black cloth and cleaned his sword.
"So, she was your girlfriend?" Dawn asked.
"Hells no. I was in love. She let me down hard and I went off to wallow. That was the night Drucilla found me and sired me," Spike explained.
"So you sired her?" Dawn asked.
"No. I never saw her after that night," Spike said throwing his trench coat on the couch.
"So, someone else vamped her?"
"I guess," Spike said walking over to the fridge. He pulled out a bottle of bear and popped the top.
"Ok. Can she come in here?" Dawn asked.
"Good point. No clue," he replied.
"I'll call Giles. See if he knows," Dawn said picking up the phone.
"I'll call him. You take a shower," Spike said taking the phone.
"Giles hates you," Dawn said taking the phone back.
"And you smell like demon puss," Spike said grabbing it and dialing.
Dawn scowled and walked into the bathroom.
"Yeah, Giles, it's me, Spike. I need to know everything on a vampire named Cecily. She was still human back in 1874. I don't know anything after that."
"I don't know anything, but I'll look into it," the former watcher replied.
"Thanks. By the way, she's tough, so sooner is better."
"I understand," Giles replied.
Spike hung up the phone and threw it on the couch. He picked up his sword and walked into the living room. The place was a mess. Soda cans, plates, cups, fast food bags, books, and weapons were all over the place. Spike walked over to the weapons cabinet. He threw the sword in and closed the door.
"We need a made," he said looking around.
He merely shrugged and walked into his bedroom. He looked at his digital clock. It read 4:20a.m. Spike took off his shirt and pants and got in bed.
Dawn woke up at around 9:30 the next morning. It was Saturday so she didn't have any school. In a couple of months she'd be done with high school and she'd have to worry about money and stuff for college. She looked at the living room. She had to clean it up before Buffy came in two weeks, but she wasn't going to worry about that right now. She turned on a computer that someone
