Dawn sat up with a start quickly and adjusted her eyes in the darkness of the room. She felt somebody was there and shifted her eyes around the room.

"Who—who's there?"

"I am Anyanka; vengeance demon. What is your wish?"

"Wish?"

"You had thoughts of vengeance and I'm about to deliver it. But hurry I have an appointment in LA."

"What?"

"Make a wish and I'll grant it."

Dawn thought…'what would help me defeat Angelus?'

"I wish…that I have the strength and skill of my sister; The Slayer."

"Wish granted…"

…………………………………………………………….

The room was lighter when Dawn awoke and in the corner she saw a punching bag, weapons and mats. When she sat up she noticed that all the pain in her back had disappeared.

"Wow, I guess healing quick comes with the Slayer package."

Once again she heard heavy foot steps and pretended to be asleep.

Spike thought he'd check on the little bit and see how she was doing. As he walked in the room, he heard her heartbeat speed up yet she appeared to be sleeping. He smirked and walked over to the bed. The heartbeat sped up and he tore the covers off of her.

"You should know, Luv that pretending to sleep around vampires doesn't work."

"Was it that obvious?" She sat up too quickly and he noticed.

"No, we can hear their heartbeat quicken." He paused and looked her over while hearing her beat pound in her chest. "Let me see your back."

Her face became ruddy and she shook her head.

"No."

"Don't make me force you." He smirked. If there's one thing in the world he more than a violent kill was a struggle. He wasn't going to try to rape her or anything but it would be fun to abash her.

"No, why would you want to see my back?"

"You're healed."

"No I'm not." She said backing up on the bed.

Spike grabbed her shoulders and flipped her over so she was lying on the bed. He then sat on her hips. Spike ripped open her shirt and looked at her back. No blood was seen and only faint scars were visible. While lying there Dawn thought of a self defense move that would help her. Slyly she head butted him and kicked him off. She fixed her eyes on him and spoke in a calm, collected manner.

"You better be able to give me a new shirt."

"Luv, they're in the dresser over there." Spike moved in front of it purposely.

"Move." She commanded.

"Why should I…I kind of like you like this. You know helpless…"

She backed up to get in a good position and he pursued.

"Believe me. I'm not helpless."

"Yes you are…or when I'm done you will be." He shoved her violently against the wall and pinned her there. "I was sent in Angelus place. But I can't wait to see what you've got." He back handed her. "Come on. Fight back."

She head butted him and sent the Blonde vampire stumbling backwards a smirk planted on his face. "See I knew you could do it." She threw a blow towards his jaw but he blocked it and sent a responding blow at her nose. She stumbled backwards and hit the wall and he pursued. She sent a high kick at his chest and he stumbled backwards. Dawn ran in the direction of the dresser and almost made it but Spike grabbed her leg and she tripped and hit her head. Spike threw her to the ground and climbed on top of her.

"Ok, here's how it's gonna go…you tell me how you learned to fight so well or I drink you."

"No!" She screamed defiantly.

He noticed her head was bleeding and leaned down. He licked the wound and smiled. "That's good. Now tell me."

"No!" she said and he backhanded her.

"Tell me." He said tilting her head up for better access of the vein of her neck. Dawn knew she was gonna die if she didn't tell. "If you tell me I won't kill you…I'll just knock you unconscious." He smirked

"Okay…okay…I made a wish to a vengeance demon. I think her name was Anyanka."

"What did you wish?"

"I wished…" She paused…if she told him of the Slayer wish then she would be ruined and die…but if she didn't she would die. So this is a lose-lose situation in her case. "I wished that I had the strength and skill of my sister."

"Well in that case…I'm just gonna have a taste." She struggled as he leaned his head down to the vein in her neck.

"You…you promised." She said feeling tears spill out of her eyes.

"Yeah well…I broke my promise." And he slid his fangs into the tender flesh of her neck…
