Author's Note: Dawn is 16, almost 17. After season 5.

Dawn was sick of it. No, she was sick of Faith. And how she was the hero now. And she was sick of loving her. No matter what she did, or told herself, she still loved Faith. And it hurt so much to see her around every single day. And when she woke up this morning, she had decided to do something about it. The answer seemed so simple. Spike.

Dawn knocked onto Spike's crypt door and walked in. "Spike?" she called, looking around. Her heart was beating a little faster. She wasn't sure why. This was just Spike. And she wanted this.

"'ello, Bit" Spike said as he walked upstairs. "What you doing here? Shouldn't you be safely in your bed where no monsters can catch you?" he asked.

"I'm almost 17, Spike. I'm not a little kid, I don't need protecting" Dawn said as she walked closer to him, slowly.

"Is that so?" Spike asked, looking at her. Something was weird with Dawn, and Spike sensed it. "What do you want, kid?" he asked.

Dawn looked at Spike. She was just a few inches away from him. This was her last chance to back off, to go home. But she wasn't going to go home. She was going to do this. "You" she whispered and started to kiss Spike.

Spike couldn't belive what Dawn was doing. But if she wanted this, then why not? He started to take off her shirt as he kissed her back.

Dawn quietly walked in from the front door. She was sore all over her body. Spike defenetely wasn't gentle. She headed upstairs, limping her right foot a little.

"Had a good fuck?" Faith asked, leaning against the doorframe to living room. She didn't know Dawn anymore. Her Dawn would've never smoked or done anything like this.

Dawn turned herself around to face Faith. "Yes, very. Thanks for asking" she said and crossed her arms. Ow! That hurt a bit.

Faith shook her head a little. "I don't know you anymore. The Dawn I knew would've never done anything that you do" she said, looking at Dawn.

"Good! Because I don't want to know you, Faith" Dawn said. "And I'm sick of you being here! Go play a hero somewhere else! As far away from me as possible" she almost yelled.

"Why? It's not your town. And Hellmouth needs to be guarded. And I'm the only Slayer around" Faith said. "And fucking someone won't get you over me" she added, staying calm. She was fighting herself to not just go over to Dawn and hold her. Because she saw that something was wrong.

"What? Where do you even take that I'm not over you? I'm long over you" Dawn said. So what if she wasn't? Faith didn't need to know that.

"Is that why you still have my photo under your pillow? Which is ripped into little pieces" Faith said, her both brows raised a little. Dawn couldn't lie to her. She knew her too well. Even if she had changed.

"You went into my room? Without asking my permission first? And went through my things?" Dawn yelled, looking very angry. Faith had defenetly crossed the line this time! She gave Faith one last look and walked upstairs to her room, slamming the door shut behind herself again. She didn't care who she woke up or who heard her coming in.

Willow walked downstairs, looking sleepy. "What was that about?" she asked, looking at Faith.

"Nothing, don't worry" Faith said. "I'm gonna catch some z's now. Night" she added and walked into the living room.

"Night" Willow called and walked back upstairs, to her room.

Faith sighed a little. Maybe coming back here wasn't such a good idea. Seeing Dawn like this was hurting her so much. She would've been okay with Dawn just hating her. But not like this. Dawn was out of her mind.

Faith was walking around the graveyard, patrolling. She thought she could go to Spike's crypt, Willow said he always had information. Faith didn't even think she should knock. She just walked in. But the picture she saw made her sick. Dawn and Spike on a bed, which was in middle of his crypt, and both of them were almost undressed. So, Dawn was fucking Spike. Faith couldn't belive it. She couldn't belive that Dawn would go so low. She turned around, facing her door. "Dawn, get dressed! You're going home" she said.

Dawn had frozen when she saw Faith. She was fucked. And not by Spike. She was sure that Faith hated her now. And was going to tell Willow and Tara what she was doing. But she still had no right to boss her around. "Why should I? You can't boss me around" she said, not moving.

"Fine! I'll tell Red and Tara that you're smoking and fucking Spike, then" Faith said. Why did Dawn have to act like this? Why couldn't she just cry over her sister's death and not eat a thing?

"So what? I'd like to see if they even care" Dawn said, rolling her eyes. Why couldn't Faith just leave her alone? This was her life, not Faith's.

"They care. A lot. And so do I" Faith said. She didn't like to say this in front of Spike, but she can always stake him later. "And that is exactly why I'll just carry you back home, if you don't come by yourself" she added and turned around.

"I'd like to see you try" Dawn said, frowning a little. She knew that Faith was serious, but still wasn't going to let her boss her around.

"Get dressed now!" Faith ordered. "Or I'll take you home undressed. I'm sure Red and Tara would have some questions about that. Do they even know you're out?" she said. She didn't like to boss anyone around, but she just couldn't let Dawn do this.

"Fine" Dawn said and sighed. She got off the bed and quickly got dressed. Somehow she felt ashamed that Faith saw her with Spike. But she was not going to show that to her. Or say anything. She smiled weakly at Spike, "See you." And walked to the door.

"You first" Faith said and looked at Spike. She was so going to kill him. She wanted to do this right now, but Dawn was here.

Dawn walked out from the crypt. She was so angry at Faith. And herself. She knew that fucking Spike was wrong. But somehow it felt so good to do something wrong for once.

Faith glanced at Dawn. She had to say something, but didn't know what. "Why are you doing this?" she finally asked.

"It's none of your business. It's my life, I can do whatever I want to with it. And if I want to, I'll fuck Spike and smoke. And guess what, I don't have to tell you why" Dawn said. They had reached the house and she just walked in.
