Buffy had stayed home and Dawn felt less lonely, Willow was there as well. It made Dawn feel safer less afraid of the chance that she would give into Spikes charms. Willow walked down the stairs and into the kitchen, she thought she had woke before anyone else. She saw Dawn in the kitchen already and knew she was wrong.
"Why are you up so early Dawnie?" She spoke pulling a cerial bar form the cabinents and unwrapping it.
"Couldn't stay asleep, I have a lot on my mind." She sighed.
"Spill." Willow sat down across from Dawn at the counter.
"You dont wanna hear it Willow." Dawn looked at her cerial moving the little pieces around.
"I do." She said calmly.
"Spike." Dawn let out with a sigh.
"Oh, I see, so what about him?" She spoke comforting. Willow was always comforting she knew just what to say and how to say it.
"Im still in love with him. Except now its not a crush, I really want him Willow and I cant do this." She rested her forhead into her hands.
"Dawn, its not love its just a crush. You cant know if you love someone youve never done anything with at all, not even dated." Willow looked considerate.
"Willow, I use to sneak over to his crypt a lot. And since he came back all those feelings came back with him." Willow was about to continue telling her she wasn't in love when Dawn decided to tell her the entire truth. "He kissed me."
"WHAT!?!" She hollered. "Spike did what?" That bastard kissing little Dawnie, cradle robber.
"He kissed me. And now he keeps telling me how much he wants us to be together and I just cant help but think he wants to get to Buffy." Dawn almost burst into ters but she held it all in.
"Oh Dawnie. You poor thing." She rested her hand on Dawns patting it gently. "He's only going to hurt you. He probably only wants sex."
"I know." Dawn tried not to show how week she was feeling how much she didn't care if he wanted to use her because she couldn't love anyone else. "Please Willow don't tell anyone." She pleaded.
"No problem. No one will know." Willow stood up. "I have to go see Oz and talk about a few things, you hold in there darling its all gonna be allright." She smiled at her gently and headed of to see Oz.
"Willow your here." Oz spoke as she arrived to meet him for their lunch date.
"Oz." She smiled with glee.
Oz stood up and hugged her he rested his lips on hers and they kissed for a long moment forgetting they were in public. Willow pulled away embarassed and they both sat down across from each other.
"Im so glad to see you, I hope your ready to talk about this." Oz smiled.
"Yes. I think this whole thing with us is a great idea. I missed you so much since youve been gone. I love you and I just want to forget about what happened and move on, Im ready to move on." Willow really didn't care anymore she had always loved Oz he was the first man she loved and she had forgiven him for cheating on her years ago, it was when he was a wolf anyway and he had learned how to controle it more often now.
"Im so glad to hear you say that Willow because I think this thing between us is a great idea." He was pleased he loved Willow and hadn't forgotten about her since the day he left.
"Im agree completely this is what i've always wanted since we met." Willow held his hand.
"Dawn, Im going to see Ben all right we need to do some more planning for the wedding and he needs to help me with this part." Buffy rushed out the door leavng Dawn alone. Planning my ass.
Dawn didn't have work at the magic shop today and she had no need to train she had patroling tonight the best form of training there was. She loved to pratrole its was the best way to let everything out all her anger all her frustrations. It started to get late and Angel showed up to see how Dawn was holding up.
"Dawnie im gonna stay here tonight if thats allright with you?" He smiled looking into the young slayers strong blue eyes.
"No Angel you know I would love for you to stay." She looked outside and saw the darkness. "I have to partole but I promise to be back soon." She smiled waving at him as she stepped into the darkness and out of the safety of her house.
"Ill be waiting." Angel yelled to her as he shut the door behind her.
Dawn walked down the street ready to patrole ready to fight. She wondered to a graveyard. She recognized it. Damn. She thought to herself it was the graveyard where Spike's crypt was where he was prbably staying, but it was also where a man had just been buried a man with two suspicous puncture wounds in his neck. She had to stay and just hope she could get away with out seeing Spike.
Dawn waited impatiently chewing and popping her gum waiting for the vampire to rise. "Come on can't you hurry up and rise so I can fight." She complained really feeling like a good wrestle with a vampire, she loved fighting.
"I dont think he can hear you in the ground kitten." She knew his voice before she saw him leaning against his crypt, Spike.
"Yeah well I just wanna stake him and get out of here." Please leave me alone please I cant refuse you again not again.
"Well maybe you should let him be and ill take care of it for ya." He spoke consideretly.
"I got it thanks." Dawn whispered.
Spike stepped closer to her standing behind her. "Why did you come here Dawn, knowing I was here?" He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Spike I had to its my duty." Oh God help me.
"Bloody hell right it is...to me." He put his lips to her neck gently as she tried to make herself pull away but she couldn't.
"Spike please just leave me alone." She pleaded.
"Thats not really what you want is it?" He spoke smooth as usual.
"No." She sighed defeated. "It's not." She dropped her stake and turned around to face him.
That was all the invatation Spike needed. He leaned in and let his tongue slide into her mouth entangling with hers. She couldn't refuse this now she wanted it as much as he did maybe more. Their lips parted slowely. He moved his mouth down and kissed her neck gently. He could smell the blood pumping through her vegins it held the power of the slayer, the intensity of the key and the innoscnece of Dawn. "Dawn." Spike whispered and it sent a shiver down her spine. "I want you so much." His breathing was heavy. If you let me have my way I swear I'll tare you apart.
"I want you too Spike." She spoke innoscently. She didn't know completely what he meant. He wanted more then she understood. He lusted for the blood pumping through her veigns and to take her untouched body. He'd be damned before hed let her know his unholey desires for her. She thought to highly of him, she thought he was perfect and thats how he wanted it to stay.
Spike couldn't hold back no matter how strong he though he was. He sucked on the side on her throught calling the warm blood to the surface. Dawn didn't realize what he was doing nor did she care. Spike pierced his fands into her neck and started to drink. It was more then he could handle something he lusted for and thought hed never try, her blood was different then any other hed ever tried better.
Dawn tried to push him away knowing he was draining her not being able to fight it. She pushed him away this time knowing he couldn't stop himself.
"Dawnie just a little more." He sighed.
He moved his mouth back to her throught and she couldn't refuse no matter how much she tried. A little more wont hurt.
Buffy arrived home early that morning and saw that only Angel lay aseep on the couch. She called out to Dawn but she didn't aswer. She not home, oh God she had patroling last nigh. Buffy ran around frantically she woke Angel and sent him into a panick, their Dawnie was gone. They feared for her life.
"Angel what are we going to do?" She paused. "I knew she would get into trouble, I just knew it." She sighed.
"It's going to be all right Buffy, well find her we will, just wait she may have stayed over Xanders or something you know how close her and Anya are now." He spoked reaching for the phone and handing it to Buffy for her to call Xander.
"But you said that she said she'd be home soon." She frowned. She dialed the number as he forced it into her hands.
"Hello." Xander answered.
"Is Dawn there? Have you seen her she didnt show last night." Buffy asked.
"No shes not here ill come over and help look." Xander hung up the phone and drove over as quick as he could.
Dawn woke not remembering where she was. She opened her eyes and looked around she was in Spikes crypt. She sat up gripping the coveres to herself confused. She reached up and felt the bite marks on her neck then she looked down at herself, no clothes. She suddenly remembered everyhting that had happened and felt guilty.
"Morning Kitten." Spike smiled looking at the shocked Dawn before him. He was lying on the bed smiling uncontrolably staring at Dawn.
"Oh, God what have I done?" Dawn complained.
"You dont remember?" Spike asked hurt.
"No I remember everything." Dawn spoke ashamed.
"Then whats wrong, did I do something wrong?" He asked feeling even more hurt with the answer she gave. What the bloody hell have you done William, she regrets it, your losing her again.
"No Spike, you were amazing." She smiled. "But I knew I would regret this in the morning. Your gonna get sick of me soon enough." Dawn spoke almost crying.
"Dawn you know me better then that. Im more of the obsessive love you untill you die then mourne you untill I die type." He looked at her ashamed face and reached up to stroke her bare back with his hand, it sent shivers down her spine in the best possible way.
"You love me?" Dawn asked sincerely.
"More then youll ever know my dear." He spoke as he reached his hand up to stroke her cheek. "What are you thinking about?"
"You." She smiled. "What else." Dawn looked up at him. "I have loved you since that night you held me when I was crying over mom."
"Little Bit I have loved you longer then I realized, but you were to young." He smiled at her, her eyes filling with tears and he whiped them away.
"I can't believe I let you drink from me." Dawn said remembering trying to lighten the mood.
"What kind of slayer are you?" Spike smiled toying with her.
"Not a very good one aparently." Most slayers had a natural discust for the thought of a Vampire sucking their blood and Dawn more then let him she enjoyed it, and worse longed for it again.
"Happy birthday by the way." Spike smiled pleased with himself.
"You remmebered." Dawn smiled uncontrolably.
"Of course how could I forget." Spike leaned in and kissed her lips gently. "Your 18 today. Think this would be legal."
"I was seventeen last night so doubtfull." Dawn leaned her head against Spike's large shoulder.
They heard noises outside. "Its Buffy!" Dawn hollered in horror.
"Oh bloody hell, uhm get dressed quick." He shouted thinking of an exuse throwing on his black silk boxers, and jeans.
Dawn threw on her clothes...all the ones she could find and looked over to Spike for a plan.
"Uhm...here go down underground its mucher nicer now trust me." He opened up the door that led underneath the crypt. Dawn hurried underneath with out hesitation.
"Im sorry." She said looking up at him before he shut the door. He knew what she was apologizing for, its hurts a guys ego to have you hide when company comes.
He heard them knocking on the door of his crypt. "Spike can we come in we need your help." Buffy shouted from outside the door.
"Sure." He hollered as he ran over to the other side of the bed trying not to look suspicous.
Buffy charged in followed by Angel. "We can't find Dawn she went patroling last night and she didn't come home." Buffy explained her perill to Spike.
"I uhm...haven't seen her recently." Spike scratched the back of his neck.
"Oh, well can you help us look I mean I don't know what to do, you know her better then anyone." Buffy looked worried for the younger slayer. More then you know slayer. Spike thought to himself.
"She's a big girl and a slayer she should be fine." Spike spoke as calm as possible.
"Spike whats up?" Buffy looked confused. "You normally would be running around insane searching for her. Somethings wrong." She spoke looking at Spike.
Angel looked around the room scowering it for a sign of Dawn. Sure enough he saw a bra. Lime green with whte daisys, only somehting Dawn would have. He nudged Buffy and pointed at the clue.
"That's Dawns!" Buffy shouted. "What the hell is going on here?" Buffy asked in shock.
"Nothing, why assume that Dawn's honeslty I have girls here sometimes." He looked at Buffy trying to explain.
"No, Dawn got that in LA when she went shopping with Cordy." Buffy had found him out but she wasn't completely sure what she had discovered. She never thought in a million years Dawn would sleep with Spike...willingly, so naturaly her mind led her elsewhere.
"I swear Buffy." Spike looked at her stapping back.
"If you don't tell the truth were gonna beat it out of you." Angel spoke stepping towards him.
"Wait a minute guys." He spoke putting his hand up.
They both charged him and started to attack. Angel throwing him up against the wall and Buffy punching him repeatidly.
Dawn finally made out what was going on and forced open the the door. She climbed out as she saw them attacking Spike. "STOP!" She hollered.
They did and turned to look at her. "Dawn? What going on here, what has he done to you?" Buffy asked nervous.
"Nothing I didn't want him to Buffy." Dawn ran over to Spike laying limp on the floor. "Are you all right. Im so sorry." She knelt down by him touching his face with her hand.
"Your lying to me Dawn this isn't possible." Buffy stepped back. "It must be some sort of spell."
"Buffy, I have known how Spike feels about Dawn for a while now and we both know how she use to feel about him, im guessing when we thought she was over him we were wrong." Angel spoke rationally.
"No, no no this isnt possible my Dawn is not sleeping with Spike." She spoke so discusted. "He's a souless dead thing." She stepped back.
"Buffy deal with it." She paused. "I have." Dawn helped Spike up and came to his senses.
"Dawn I told you to stay down there." Spike looked down into her warm blue eyes.
"I heard what was going on and I couldn't stay down there while they hurt you...I love you." Dawn spoke her arms against his large chest.
"This just isn't right. My sisters a vampire slut." Buffy ran out of the crypt.
"I hope you know the trouble this is going to cause." Angel spoke looking at Spike. "Dawn no one's ever going to see you the same anymore, youve lost your innoscence, and to Spike." Angel walked out the door leaving it open behind him.
"You dont feel the way they do do you?" Dawn looked up at Spike.
"What do you mean lil' bit." Spike spoke looking down at her his arms around her waste.
"I don't know, like last night was...like I..." She sighed. "Like im a slut." She could barely make out the words.
"No!" Spike spoke in shock. "Dawn, no never." He laughed. "You were a virgin until last night how in the bloody hell could you be a...slut." Spike looked at her and held her face in his hands. "And Dawn your still innoscent just not so much since last night but your still my innoscent little Dawnie." Dawn smiled as Spike reasured her.
"Thanks." She smiled.
"What about you luv?" He asked.
"What?" She looked into his sharp blue eyes.
"Think im a souless descusting thing that you should feel ashamed to have slept with." He put his head down in despair.
"Well the first part is kinda true. But your far from descusting trust me." She smiled. "But Spike to be honest, I wouldn't want my first time to be with anyone else."
"Thanks." He smiled. "Its nice to know someone things im worthy of being with you...I honestly don't" Spike frowned.
"You tried so hard to get me and you don't think your worthy." She smiled. "Spike your more then that, your perfect to me." Dawn leaned against him.
"Dawn you have this irrationaly idea of who I am." Spike spoke ashamed. "I love you more then imaginable, but still I shouldn't have...last night it was stupid of me you were only seventeen." He looked ashamed.
"Spike im eighteen a few hours makes no difference." She looked at him as he avoided her eyes.
"It's no different im over one hundred and fourty. I am old enough to be your grandfather a few times over." He looked ay her feeling guilty.
"Don't Spike." She frowned. "I was there last night too remember, I could have said no." She tried to reasure him.
"I know Dawn but, I should be more responsible then that. Your innoscent and Angel was right I took that I had no right-" He went on ranting.
"Stop!" Dawn looked into his eyes. "Had no right my ass. I am in love with you Spike, please stop, you know how bad your regretting this hurts me."
"No pet, I dont regret it and thats the problem, I only want you more." Spike looked at her with lust-filled eyes.
"Good." She smirked.
Spike laughed. "You wont think that in a few days when your tired of me and...yeah nevermind."
"What?" Dawn asked.
"Oh bloody hell little bit. You have always thought so highly of me and its rediculous how could you think so highly of a souless thing that seduced you." Spike paused. "Every thought of yours is so innoscent mine are the opposite." He frowned.
"Spike your over one hundred and fourty and your you." She giggled. "I wouldn't expect anything else."
"Oh thanks." He laughed sarcasticaly.
"I wouldn't want you anyother way." Dawn smiled coyly.
