Chapter 5: The New King.
Spike walked into the house and saw Faith, Buffy, Willow, Dawn, Giles, Xander, Lorne, and Buffy sitting there.
"Aren't you dead?" Spike asked pointing to Lorne.
"I wish," he said taking a sip of margarita.
"You've been gone for days. What the hell happened?" Buffy demanded.
"I think the phone's ringing. Guys can you help? It's kinda heavy," Dawn said getting up and running out of the room. Everyone quickly followed, except Buffy and Spike.
"Where have you been?"
"No where. I'm fine!" Spike yelled.
"If you want to go get drunk and pass out, that's fine! You cannot do that if I have my sister here, you jerk!" Buffy yelled.
"I protect Dawn more than I ever protected anyone!" Spike yelled.
"By disappearing for half a week," Buffy asked half appalled.
"By trying to get rid of an immediate threat!" Spike yelled.
"Cecily and Drusilla? We can handle them, but I need to know I'm leaving my sister in good hands," she said.
"B, calm down," Faith said walking back into the room. "Dawn's not just a little girl anymore."
"Buffy, I've been unconscious for the last couple of days. I woke up. Some demon performed a ritual. They disappeared. Smelled like cinnamon," Spike said sitting down.
"What kind of ritual?" Giles asked as everyone came out.
"Um, demon, dusted five vamps with magic and something appeared in a box. Didn't see what," Spike explained.
"Cecily and Drusilla?" Dawn asked.
"They disappeared too."
"Well I think we should-," Buffy said before Spike interrupted her.
"You're not doing anything. I came to Cleveland because I have a job to do. There are sixteen Hellmouths besides this one, and Sunnydale went boom. Go to one them, while I work here."
"What?" Buffy said in disbelief.
"Dawn and I are your soldiers in Cleveland. Go New York or something but this is my fight."
"B, he's right," Faith said seriously.
"We can do good working with the new slayers. I hate to say it but Spike's right," Giles sad taking his glasses off and cleaning them.
Buffy didn't know what to say. After a minute she decided. "Anything happens, anything gets out of hand. Call me."
"I will," Spike replied.
Buffy sighed and packed her stuff and everyone except Lorne left.
"Go with them Lorne. You can't help here," Spike said seriously.
Lorne sighed and followed everyone out. The next day their plain left and Spike went back to work on finding Cecily and Drusilla. For weeks he search and nothing until he got a tip from a demon in a bar. He went into a warehouse and saw Cecily, Drusilla, a cloaked man, and the demon who performed the ritual.
"Well William it's time for you to meet our new knight. He's going to make us proud," Drusilla said in her long drawn out voice.
Spike grabbed a dagger off the ground and threw it at the demon. It screamed in agony before it fell over.
"Knight's dead, Dru. What else ya got?"
"Me," the cloaked man said stepping forward.
Spike knew that voice very well. The man dropped his cloak and smiled.
"You're dead. I saw you die," Spike said in complete shock.
"Well Willie, I guess you need kill me… again!"
"Angel, how are alive?" Spike demanded.
"My name's Angelus," the vampire said stepping forward.
"They brought you back in that box. Why?"
Angelus ignored the question. He jumped over spike and tried to attack, but Spike dropped to his hands and knees and shot his feet in Angelus' stomach.
"Don't move, Dad!" A voice yelled. Angelus and Spike looked up, while everyone else looked over. Dawn and Conner were standing at another entrance of the building with crossbows pointed.
"Hey, I remember you. You were super kid that was attack by the red guy," Spike said getting up.
"Conner, come give Daddy a hug," Angelus said with amusement. Angelus walked over to Cecily and Drusilla. "Did you come to stop Daddy from being a bad boy," Angelus said spanking Drusilla.
"Oh, naughty Daddy," Drusilla said looking back up at Angelus.
Spike moved over to Dawn and Conner.
"Were going to get Angel back!" Dawn yelled.
"Let's go," Spike said beckoning Dawn and Conner. The two of them ran out and were followed by Spike.
"We'll get em," Angelus said to the ladies and he began to laugh.
