Spike lay in his crypt staring blankely at the ceiling, the blood drying on his hand. He felt it healing as he would rather the pain stay so he could feel that instead of the pain of his broken heart. He waited impatienty for the day to pass as it became night. Wanting to scream wanting to stake himself even more. He had thought through as many ways as possible to rid himself of his existance knowing that would only hurt her worse. He faked it all of it and wished he wasn't such a good liar.
Spike heard the door open and didn't want to look at who it was. Knowing if it were anyone other than Dawn it meant less than nothing. "William the bloody." Drue's voice echoed through the empty souless room.
He sat up. "Drue." His eyes filled with hatred.
"I've come back for you my Willy." She smiled evil in her eyes.
"Drue, why are you here?" He asked standing up.
"Oh, not the welcome I expected, it's been so long." Drue smirked coyly.
"Drue, im not the same Spike you left years ago." He frowned broken.
"Oh no, tick tock tick tock. Lies all lies, pretty little blondie cant hold his liquer." Drue rambled her insanity seeping through. She was saying Spike was drunk she could smell the booze on him, Spike was frustrated. Why can't the broad just say it straight.
"Why are you back?" He asked not looking up.
"I came for my Willy came back for him." She smiled fiddling with her dark locks of hair.
"Well go back where you came from. Your Willy's gone." He frowned trying to make her leave.
"Nnnnnn." She made noises as usual when something bothered her. "Wicked it is. He's wicked." She whined.
"Drue, calm yourself." He was annoyed with her she was what broke him from the one he loved all because of her...well mostly.
"My Willy's fallen for someone else. I will find her Spike make a mess of her bones." Crazy as she was she wasn't stupid she saw the pain of love glazed over in his deep blue eyes.
"No Drue, theres no one, I just don't want you, ive changed." He looked defeated afraid she would find out the truth.
"Who is it. Not the blond slayer, no not her. The little one maybe." Dawn.
"Drue your insane." He looked at her tryng to be convincing.
"Maybe, insanity is only a step beyond where you are Willy." She stepped back. "I'll make her scream and it will make you want me back." She snickered.
"Never Drue." Oh bloody hell no she can't know how could she.
"I saw you hurt her for me." Because of you. "I've been here a long time. I saw you take her back here."
Spike felt defeated now he didn't know what to do, everything was all a waste the pain he caused her didn't protect her from Drue it only made things worse, he didn't know how to fix the mess he had made with his unlife. Drue fled out the front door before Spike could catch up to her. He rushed to the Summer's home hoping he could get inside hoping Dawn was inside knowing Drue couldn't get in being that she hadn't been invited. He arrived at the front door not knowing if Willow had whipped up some sort of binding spell to keep him from the house. There were to many reasons to bind him from their home, he had done so much wrong he could understand if Dawn never wanted to see his face again.
He knocked on the door not feeling right to barge in unless they didn't answer the door. He herd noises and giggles then the front door flew open. Faith was standing there laughing. "What do you want Billy Idol wannabe." She giglled. "She doesn't want to see you, you user."
"I understand that but she's in danger." Spike tried to conrtole his breathing.
"Oh, uhmm..." Faith looked over towards the living room. Suddenly Dawn walked out and stood in the front door.
"Dawn." Spike's face dropped she was drunk. He hated seeing his innoscent little bit like this.
"Spike." She looked at him her face falling to the pits of her stomouch.
"Uhm...can I come in, it's important." Spike stepped forward and into the door as Dawn nodded her head. He slid in brushing up against her only make it all hurt worse.
"What do you want?" She spoke harsh.
"Thats my que." Faith stepped out into the kitchen.
"Drue's back in town and she's comming after you. No matter how much I tried to protect you from her it only hurt you and made a mess. I couldn't hide it from her that crazy git knew I loved you she was watching and..." Spike tried to explain.
"Oh." She paused. "So you mean it was all a lie?" She spoke hopefull, yet afraid.
"Yes little bit. How could you not believe I love you I always will." He frowned hoping she would believe him.
"The sick thing is I don't believe you as much as I want to." She frowned and stepped closer to him.
"Dawn, I am so so sorry. I didn't mean a word of it. It was all to protect you and it killed me to say it." He placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Oh Spike." She breathed in. "It killed me to hear it." She tried to hold in the tears.
"I understand if you can't forgive me." He paused. "Oh bloody hell I can't keep this up pet this isn't me." He leaned in and planted a fiery kiss on Dawn's soft lips.
"Spike." Dawn whispered as their lips parted. "That's more like it." She smiled her eyes opening.
"Huh?" He laughed.
"More like you." Dawn smirked. "The guy who always takes what he want's with out asking for it." Dawn leaned her body against his.
"I'm a bad influence." He smirked reaching down and grasping her hips.
"Yeah pretty much." She pressed her lips against his and kissed him gently. "But I like it." She smirked.
"So what are we gonna do about Drue?" Faith asked barging into the room making a purpose not to look at them too much.
"Buzz-kill." Dawn looked at her frowning.
"Sorry." She shrugged her shoulders.
"I don't know but I am not gonna let her hurt my nibblet." He said looking down at her.
"That's great but what about the rest of us." She said playfully. "We still gotta get rid of her and her crazy rambles."
"Doesn't matter three slayers and two vampires hanging around I think we can deal with her." Spike was still staring into Dawn's eyes.
"So then why did you, turn my entire world upside down and break up with me?" She asked hoplessly still in his arms.
"In large part because of the talk I had with Angel. He convinced me being with you was only going to hurt you and you would be safer and happier with out me." Spike frowned still not taking his eyes off of Dawn.
"Im gonna have a little talk with him." Dawn added.
"Yeah well he only want's what he thinks is best for you." Spike paused. "But I am pretty sure getting drunk isn't it." He said dissapointed.
"I blane Faith." She looked over at Faith who was avoiding eye contact. "It's really not that big a deal." She shrugged.
"Yeah it is!" He was angry. "It's not you and I don't want you to change ever, you hear me." He spoke harsh.
"Uhuh." She said weekly.
"Good." He assured.
"That's sad, puppet much D?" Faith commented.
"Huh?" Dawn wrinked her forhead confused.
"You're so controled, hes got you wrapped around his pale dead finger." Faith looked at Spike and back to Dawn, as Dawn cringed at the detail in her comment.
"Uhmm..." She didn't know what to say, it was true but she was utterly embarrased.
"Dawn, wrapped around my finger." He chuckled. "That's bloody insane, right pet." He smirked looking down at her lost eyes, knowing the truth finding it fun to toy with her.
"Uhuh." She could barely speak as his hand tightened around her waste and pulled her into him almost closer then imaginable, pressing her hips against his.
"Spike it's not funny." Faith said sarcastically, she notcied what he was doing. "This is one messed up relationship."
"What can I say she thinks im sexy." He smirked and Dawn laughed. "And I would die with out her. if that's messed up than oh bloody well." He looked down into her eyes.
"Oh yeah, that's what some one might find messed up. Personaly I think the screwed up part is the fact that she's a Slayer and your a vampire but hey that's just me." Faith laughed sarcastically.
"What can I say i've got issues." Dawn smirked.
"And I love your issues." He spoke coyly.
The door unlocked as someone fiddled with the keys. The front door slid open as Buffy apeared with shock in her pale eyes. "Uhmmm...am I interupting anything?" She spoke sarcastic.
"Yup, run along will you." Spike saw an opening and took it, a chance to hackle Buffy.
"Spike." Dawn hit him in the chest, as he refused to release his grip on her.
"So why are you here can't you do this at Spike's...crypt." Buffy cringed.
"Yeah but I love to watch you get all bothered." He chuckled.
"Spike shutty." Dawn looked over at her sister. "Drue is back in town."
"Great, Spike's ex crazy is back, to spit out her insane spsycic babbles." Buffy looked at Spike. "Maybe she'll kill you." Buffy smirked. "One can only hope."
"Maybe she'll kill you and maybe you wont come back this time if were lucky. Honestly I would have killed you myself if I thought you would have stayed dead." Spike snickered.
"And I would have staked you if Dawn didn't have such an idiotic soft spot for you." Buffy slammed the door behind her.
"Will you two children just behave." Dawn tried to conrtol them.
"Well that's what happens when you go out with your sisters mortal enemy." Buffy commented.
"She's just a tad bit touchy luv, it's always been like this, take from some one who's known her longer." Spike looked down at Dawn nodding his head.
"Mmmhhmmm." Dawn shook her head annoyed.
"I'll try and get along with him for you Dawnie but I won't like it." Buffy shook her head.
"You can't be angry with me for following in your footsteps." Dawn added.
"Least I can get a happy with out going crazy and trying to bloody well masacre you all." Spike nodded.
"Spike I don't want to hear about you getting a...happy." Buffy looked descusted.
"Just thought I'de add a little color to the conversation,luv." Spike smirked.
"Don't. I don't want to hear about you and my sister together or anything like that, no nicknames in front of me, and as little contact as possible." Buffy layed down the rules.
"He calls me kitten sometimes." Dawn smiled trying to shake up her sister.
"Don't wanna hear it." Buffy put her hands over her ears.
"Buffy did you know your sister has perfect..."
"Ahhhhhhh..." Buffy yelled.
"What I was just gonna say feet." Spike snikered sarcastic.
"But my feet are ugly." Dawn spoke innoscently clueless.
"I wasn't gonna say feet luv." Spike smirked looking evil.
"Oh." Dawn nodded as Faith started laughing.
"Can we stop this honestly." Buffy shook her head. "I don't wan't to know. Dawn how could you be with such a,a...pervert."
"Uhmmm...just lucky I guesse." Dawn giggled.
"Im a pervert shes completely innoscent everyone needs a balance." Spike gleamed.
"You all right Buff?" Dawn asked smiling.
"My sister is with my mortal enemy his evil ex is back in town and their joking around carelessly." Buffy explained. "So yeah peachy with a side of keen thats me."
"Sorry." Dawn frowned. "Your just so easy to shake up." Buffy glowered. "I love you sis." She gave her the puppy dog eyes.
"I love you two Dawnie." Buffy shook her head smiling at how easily she forgave her carelessness.
"I just can't be worried about Drue right now. I don't think of her as much of a threat being insane and all and the only time she was a threat to you was when she was...with Spike." Dawn looked at Buffy.
"True Spike was the instogater then but she is still very dangerous if she want's to be." Buffy nodded. "And I fear it's the least of our worries."
