Spike glanced at Angel fearfully he was still a bit shaken upon returning.
"Think she's alright?" Spike asked hesitantly just as Angel put his hand on the door knob. Stopping Angel glanced at Spike taking pity on the newly returned vampire.
He said "Whatever it is we'll figure it out."
"Alright" Spike agreed and Angel opened the door letting it swing shut as Spike walked through it.
"Thanks mate always did like it when you shut the bloody door in my face." He comments softly to Angel who threw him a nasty look. Immediately Angel walked over to Dawn who had to be restrained to her bed. The odd thing about it was as if the girl wasn't awake. Shaking her Angel figured talking to her might work as the doctors were merely stood there like idiots.
"Come on Luv" Spike whispered watching his grand sire with Dawn. 'I should be comforting her!' Spike thought angrily.
"Angel let me have a go" Spike said softly.
"But spike you're a –"Angel began.
"Ghost I know. Please Angel?" Spike said never taking his eyes off Dawn. Angel moved off of the bed and Spike went to stand beside it. He said nothing he lifted his hand and gently brushed Dawn's cheek with it wishing so bad he could comfort her he tried to brush away her hair that had been flung across her face. The gesture seemed to calm Dawn down, at least enough for the doctor to sedate her. Spike growled when he saw the needle come down near Dawn's vein.
The doctor glanced up at Spike's low growl "It's just a mild sedative" he assured the ghost vamp. Spike backed off allowing him more access. As the sedative worked its way in her system Dawn snuggled closer into the blankets murmuring as if having a bad dream.
"What do you think she's dreaming about?" Angel asked coming to stand next to Spike, all the doctors had cleared out of the room.
"Sunnydale" Spike said then adding smirking "and all its oogly-booglies"
"Oogly-booglies?" Angel asked raising an eyebrow.
"That's what Dawn used to call all of the big bad's" Spike replied as if relishing in the memory. "You do realize this is all your fault right?" Spike accused Angel looked him stone cold in the eye.
"My fault?" Angel asked getting mad. "What did I do?"
"You bloody well know! Bit was fine in Sunny hell why did you have to take her!" Spike retorted.
"I was trying to protect her!" Angel said furiously his voice rising.
"Well that may bloody well be so but now look what happened! Nibblet's so worried about the big sis' she's gotten herself sick over it!" Spike said gesturing widely with his hands and walking out into the corridor.
"You think that's why she's sick?" Angel asked softly.
"Bloody right I do" Spike said. When Angel didn't say anything Spike turned around to see him standing in the middle of the hall lost in thought.
"Well now what is it?" Spike said wishing for a fag (cigarette for those of u who don't know)
"Why do u care?" Angel asked angrily walking through Spike and into his office by now everyone had cleared out of it so it was just him and Spike.
"I don't know!" Spike said throwing his hands up" This wasn't supposed to happen alright? I was supposed to have that whole eternal bloody rest! But no this hero can't even have that!" Spike said scoffing.
Angel looked up suddenly "You didn't want to come back?" He asked in wonder.
"No it's not that I just- I can't deal with this right now!" Spike said "I'll be with Dawnie" And with that he walked out of Angel's office without a glance backwards.
When Spike walked back into Dawn's room he was surprised to see her sitting up and drinking a glass of water.
"Didn't they sedate you Luv?" Spike asked.
"Spike! I didn't see you" Dawn stuttered "And they said it was sort of mystical sedative. I don't know if I should trust these people Spike." Dawn added the last sentence as if an after thought.
"Luv I'm sure Angel won't let anything happen to you" Spike told her confidently although not entirely sure.
"What about you Spike?" Dawn asked.
"What do you mean pet?" Spike asked looking at her curiously.
"Will you be here for me too?" Dawn asked looking down into her glass of water as though she could see into some other dimension through it.
"Dawn I-"Spike shook his head. " I just don't see how! I am a ghost after all!"
Dawn's eyes widened "You're a ghost!" looking as though her eyes were going to pop out Spike tried to explain.
"Well it was this whole thing with The First, I got obliterated saving the world and now I'm back because of a soddin necklace!" Spike said sounding thoroughly agitated.
"You're a ghost?" Dawn said slowly.
"In the flesh, well not actually"
"And it's because of a necklace?" she asked trying to recap everything in her head.
"An amulet to be exact but yeah necklace works too." Spike replied watching Dawn process everything and wondered why he hadn't been as dumbstruck as her by all this. Just as he opened his mouth to ask her if she was feeling alright An alarm starting blaring and blaring and blaring…..
