Dawn woke looking up at Spike's stone face. He was in a deep sleep, which shocked her normaly he was the first to wake. She slid out of bed not wanting to wake him. She stumbled into the bathroom. Dawn quickly ran a comb through her slightly damp hair. It always took a while to dry but was pretty much dry by morning just a little damp. She looked at herself in the mirror, her face seemed less tired, surprisingly last night she had gotten enough sleep to feel relazed and well rested. She walked down the steps of their home and into the kitched hungry scowering the house for something she wanted to eat. She heard a noise at the front door. Normaly she would just ignore it but she was the slayer now and figured she could protect herself. She opened the door and stepped outside not able to see anything. It was only a little light out enough that it couldn't have been a vampire or so she thought. She looked around only to see an empty street.

"Dawn." She looked to the stranger calling her voice it was Drue.

"Drue, but how it's light out." She was shocked.

"This." She put her hand out do Dawn could see. "The gem of amara, Angel couldn't destroy no matter how much he wanted to he couldn't destroy something so precous." She smiled evil shining through her dark eyes.

"Uhm...I'll just be going now." Dawn tried to leep towards the front door but Drue caught her before she could and slammed her up against the wall, knocking her unconsious.

She picked her up carrying her away from her home away from safety, Drue had come back and she was here for revenge, Dawn had taken the love of her William and she was not about to let her survive the night.

Buffy woke in the arms of Ben not wanting to get up just wanting to stay where she felt safe, where for once she felt needed. She knew she was needed by the world so save it but not like this Ben really wanted her really loved her. She had never been sure of that before with anyone else, she had always been left and for once she was home she was happy. She looked up at Ben as he stirred.

"Hey there." He said looking down at her.

"Good morning." She offered.

"What time is it?" He asked looking down at her.

Buffy looked over at the clock. "Eightish."

"It's still early go back to sleep." Ben suggested.

"Still have demons to fight and I'm sure Giles found some unpleasent things in that book Angel found." Buffy frowned.

"You deserve a break more than anyone of us Buffy, over seven years is long enough to take a break doncha think?" He asked smiling.

"Yeah I guesse." She admitted. "But it is my job wether or not I like it I save the world."

"You work far too hard if you ask me." Ben paused. "Dawn and Faith are both slayers. They can take over when you need a break." Ben explained looking down at Buffy's calm face.

"Yeah I know, but they need me." She spoke softly.

"Not as much as me." Ben said playfully.

"Thanks." She smiled leaning in for a kiss.

At first the two of them didn't hit it off too well being that they met in a graveyard slaying. They argued about who one another was and what they were doing there. But when they finaly talked civaly they found they had a lot in common. There parents divorced though his dad was half demon her's seemed to act like it. they both lost their mothers at a relatively young age, and they both liked each other. Always a good thing to have in common. They were made for each other, made to make each other happy. Though Buffy would always love Angel he wasn't there for her he was unnatainable so unnatainable and Ben was there, always would be and she loved him.

Faith lay in bed hurt. She never let anyone in fully, she sheltered herself from them afraid of being hurt again. She had let Dawn in and Dawn was trustworthy they were best friends, and they were always there for one another. So Faith decided to take a chance on love like Dawn had with Spike.She hoped with Angel it would work out maybe with him things wouldn't hurt so badly. But he did what all the others did he hurt her. He pushed her away right when she was letting him in. She was tired of pretending to hold it in tired of being strong. She was in love with Angel and he did what they all did, just as she had been afraid he would. She hated this feeling this weak feeling. She wanted to run to leave but knew she couldn't. Angel was right downstairs on the couch or maybe he had left maybe it was too much to take maybe he couldn't be near her. Why did he push her away? Did he want her, or was it all a game? Was he afraid of losing his soul again? She knew it couldn't be her he told her he loved her. She got up and walked downstairs. Only to find Spike and Angel running around frantically and the front door left wide open.

"What's going on?" Faith asked confused.

"Dawn, she's gone." Spike answered panicked.

"Oh great." Faith sighed.

"What's all the noise down here for guys?" Willow asked rubbing her eyes.

"It's Dawn, I woke up this morning and she was gone and the door was left open." Spike said looking at Willow.

"Oh God. We have to find her." Willow looked around. "Where could she be?" She asked worried.

"Drue!" Spike shouted fear playing across his face.

"What?" Faith asked.

"Drue has her." Spike paused. "I know it." His face looked sickened.

"We have to look for her." Angel said looking at Faith who glared at him.

"Okay, we will split up, I'll go with Spike Faith can go with Angel." They tried to fight her but the second they did she silenced them. "We don't have time for paring battles not now this is urgent." Willow took immediate control.

"It's light out." Angel looked at Willow not knowing how Spike and him would go out in this and search for Dawn.

"I can do spell to make it extremely cloudy so it wont burn you it might make you uncomfortable but it won't burn you." She answered. Willow spoke a few words in an ancient language none of them could understand leaving them all staring. Her eyes clouded over with a dark black color. She closed her eyes then opened them to reveal her normal color. "All right that should do it." She answered.

"Let's get moving then." Spike demanded afraid for his girl's life.

"Okay." Willow walked out with Spike followed by Angel and Faith.

"We can search the old factory, you guys look in some back streats or something." Spike said walking to his place with Willow. "We can take my car it's fast." Spike demanded.

They arrived at his place in no time and both jumped into the car Spike driving. He sped the car faster then he ever had before hoping not to crash wating to make it to the factory sure that was where she would be she was obviously bating him not knowing that she was crossing the line with him and he would not let her survive wether or not Dawn made it out alive.

Faith and Angel jumped into her car reluctantlt. "I don't have any idea where to look." Faith spoke from the stearing wheel of her beat up old truck driving along waiting for directions.

"We can search but it's useless, Spike knows she is at the warehouse, he sent us away so he could deal with this himself." Angel answered.

"Then why don't we follow?" Faith asked in terror.

"We'll in case he is wrong we can search elsewhere." Angel sat forward in his seat.

"All right." She said nervous.

"Go around a few back streats." He demanded as she drove throught the alley ways big enough to fit her truck.

"If she dies because you wanna listen to Spike's ideas I swear, I'll kill you both." She threatened.

"He will not let her die, he'll die before he let's Dawn die." Angel silenced her.

"Fine." She looked afraid.

"Faith I am so sorry about last night-"

"Don't try to apologize!" Faith looked angry.

"Faith, my soul, I don't want to become Angelus again, and frankly you don't want to see that demon." He explained.

"I know." She frowned.

"I know I wouldn't be able to hold back with you." He looked down ashamed. "I love you."

"Willow." Faith looked like she had discovered something.

"What?" Angel asked confused.

"She can do a spell something to keep that soul of yours in your body no matter what...happens." She looked pleased with herself.

"That might work." Angel smiled. "So you forgive me then?" Angel asked.

"Angel I love you." Faith said reluctantly.

"I love you too." He replied.

"Were here." Spike said stoping the car.

"All right." Willow said getting out with him.

He rushed to the front door of the broken down factory and he kicked the door open. He stormed in hoping to see Dawn safe and ready for saving. Sure enough he saw her chained to a wall in the back of the factory. The chains were secured so strong he knew she wouldn't break free on her own. She was brused and bloodu Drue had been toying with here torturing her. Spike's face was pained his chest seared through with an aching of pure fear.

"William the Bloody." Drue stepped out from the shadows a crooked smile played across her face.

"Let her go!" He hollered angry.

"Why would I do that when she's so fun to toy with, what she's been through would have killed most people but she's a slayer so she heals." She smiled evil in her eyes. "She's almost perfect I think I might keep her."

"Don't touch her Drue." He snarled showing his teeth anger searing through him.

"Oh Spike. If you had only stayed miserable this wouldn't have happened she would have been fine." Dure answered walkng over to Dawn who was unconcious.

"You can't fight me and Win Drue." Spike threatened. "Get Dawn Willow." He spoke still looking at Drue.

"Okay." Willow answered walking to Dawn Drue stepping closer to Spike.

"The only ones walking out a live will be me and possibly you Spike." Drue assured him.

"Your wrong Drue the only one not walking out alive will be you, possibly me also, but Dawn is walking out alive." Spike stood in front of Drue ready to fight her.

Drue stepped back and lifted a bow and arrow. She pointed it slowely towards Dawn stairing at Spike and smiling full of evil. She looked as if she were about to pull the trigger as Spike lunged in front of her. They arrow in the bow flew from it and struck Spike in the chest. Willow was stairing in shock as he fell to the ground and she freed Dawn from the chains with her magics.

Dawn came to her senses as she looked at Spike on the ground. He pulled the metal arrow out of his chest. It hurt more then it should Spike knew it was more than a normal arrow, and he knew Drue knew that as well. He kicked her feet out from underneath her as she fell to the ground. He knelt over her and broke off a chair leg next to him. He quickly stabbed her in the heart as her body turned to dust as if it never existed.

"Anyone got a broom." Spike joked weakly as he fell to the ground in pain picking up the ring and puting it into his pocket.

"Spike." Dawn shouted rushing to his side. "What's wrong." She spoke weakly, she was still in pain but he was in immediate danger she could tell by the wound in his chest.

"Nothing pet, just a flesh wound." He snickered.

"Spike we need to get you home." She helped him to his feet as best she could being week herself. Willow rushed over to the other side of Spike.

"I'm more worried about you nibblet." He looked over to Dawn as they all walked out of the factory.

"I'm fine Spike, your the one hurt." Dawn answered.

They rushed him to the car as Willow got in the drivers seat and drove back to the Summers' home. Dawn and Spike were in the back seat Dawn watching him hoping he was going to make it. They arrived at the house and Willow and Dawn helped Spike into the house and onto the couch.

"Willow, call Angels cell phone, and find Buffy!" She demanded raising her voice as Willow huried to the phone. "Spike hang in there." She looked at him tears filling her eyes.

"I'm all right nibblet, it's gonna be fine." He moaned once more feeling the pain in his chest. "As long as I saved you." He smiled.

"You did." She smiled sweety. "Spike you have to hold on, I can't live without you." Dawn let one tear slide down her cheek.

"Don't say that baby." He reached up to touch her cheek as she sat beside him on the couch. "If I die I don't want you to give up ever. But that aint gonna be a problem cause I am going to be fine." Spike assured her.

"Okay." She nodded now crying.

"Angel is on his way." Willow entered the room.

"Oh great the poofter is comming." Spike laughed making it hurt worse.

"Spike just relax." Dawn tried to hold it together for Spike.

A few minutes passed as Angel barged into the room to help his childe followed by Faith. He observed the wound trying to see what was wrong. "I know this. It happened to me before." Angel answered.

"Well good how do we stop it." Dawn looked pleased.

"Don't look so happy." Angel frowned. "He need's the blood of a slayer to survive."

"So what's wrong with that I can give him by blood." She looked confused.

"Yes, but he needs a lot and he probably won't be able to stop." Angel wanred her.

"I don't care." She pulled Spike to her.

"No Dawn." He pushed her away. "I won't."

"Spike it's just like before, you just have to take more, it won't kill me." She forced him into her neck as he vamped out and sunk his teeth into her pale neck.

Spike began drinking her blood, not really knowing what he was doing not able to control himself. He pushed his teeth furthur into her neck hurting her so much she screamed. Spike continued to drink as Dawn didn't push him away, it was not the same as before at all. It wasn't gentle it wasn't romantic, he was tearing at her neck draining her of her life force, and this time the pain was unbearable. He dug into her beck pulling her into him making her scream again in pain. Dawn was afriad she knew she couldn't stop him but she wondered why no one else would. Faith and Willow went to but Angel pushed them away. Mabe Angel wants me dead. Dawn thought to herself afraid. Then suddenly she felt her body being torn from Spike. As Spike threw himself to the floor realizing what he had done.

"Sorry Dawn." Spike apologozed feeling back to full health as he softened his face to normal again.

"Willow get bandages." Angel ordered as Willow ran to the cabinent.

"Angel why did you let me take so much look at her!" Spike shouted.

"She offered herself for you and I knew how much blood you needed if I had stopped her any sooner it wouldn't have worked and you would be dead by the next few hours because I wouldn't let her do it again." Angel explained. "This was a one shot thing, she'll be all right."

Spike walked over to Dawn who wasn't very coherant. "Dawn." Spike reached for her as she cringed and pulled away. "Nibblet i'm so sorry." Spike looked pained as she pulled away from his touch.

"She's weak Spike don't worry about she'll be herself in the morning." He assured him.

"Yeah, I know." Spike nodded but was still hurt by the fact that she feared him.

Wilow ran out with the badaged as Angel placed one on her neck and helped her upstairs into her bed. She slept for about ten hours and suddenly woke to Spike sitting in a chair next to her asleep himself.

"Spike." Dawn whispered as he woke quickly to the sound of her voice.

"Dawn." He answered moving closer to her reluctant to touch her remembering the way she pulled away from him earlier.

"Your all right." She smiled weakly.

"Yeah nibblet, all thanks to you." He smiled reaching out to touch her hand, it made her wince. "I'm sorry." He pulled away.

"No, don't." She moaned.

"What luv?" He asked confused.

"If your not touching me it's worse." Dawn answered.

"What?" He asked even more confused.

"Lay with me?" She pleaded.

"But you...your when I touch you, you." Spike tried to explain.

"I know Spike." Dawn looked at him in pain from what Drue did to her weak from what he did to her, yet her neck was still soar from him tearing at it.

"I don't understand."

"If you lay with me then I can explain." She pleaded.

"All right." Spike slowly pulled himself under the covers with her. She tried to move to make room but it made her moan in pain. "Carefull." Spike looked at her. He settled under the covers and Dawn leaned on his chest. "So explain Dawnie, why did you pull away but you still want me here."

"It really hurt Spike." Dawn answered. "You were...different."

"I know, I didn't mean to."

"Why?" She asked curious.

"I let the animal loose." He answered afraid she would pull away, instead she snuggled into his neck.

"Oh." She sighed.

"Oh, thats it, that's all?" He asked.

"Spike I don't care, I pulled away because I wasn't really coherant." She slurred a little as she spoke.

"Then why did you wince a few seconds ago?" Spike asked.

"I remebered the pain." Dawn answered. "I didn't mean to upset you Spike, but it hurt so much." She frowned.

"I'm so sorry."

"Your forgiven." She smiled. "Now shut up I need to sleep."

"All right." He answered pleased she wasn't angry with him.

Angel was downstair with Willow and Faith. "When were all done here with this apocolypse crap I think i'm heading home." Angel spoke revealing his big news.

"Why don't you like it here?" Willow asked.

"Of course but I belong in LA." Angel explained. "Willow, I need your help with something."

"Anything." Willow smiled.

"A spell."

"For what?" She asked excited some one needed her help. "I am up for anything with the dark arts it's my specialty." She smiled.

"Well maybe you can rid me of this curse." Angel asked shyly.

"Oh, that." She frowned. "Well it's old gypsy magics I might be able to work some sort of binding spell for the curse." She thought to herself for a moment. "I think I can but it wont be riding you of it it will sorta be like a ring or something or a crystal or something to prevent the curse form working but I can't just get rid of it." She answered. "It will sorta be the same just you'll need to keep the ring or crystal with you." She explained.

"That's perfect." Angel smiled hopeful.

"I'll get to making it. I just hope it works." She walked upstairs and started on the spell.

"So your going to LA?" Faith asked.

"Yes, unless you want to stay here." Angel looked at her.

"You mean it matters?" Faith asked confused.

"Of course, I thought we had started something here?" He asked looking into her eyes.

"Yeah I guesse so. So you mean if you go to LA you want-"

"I want you to come with me yes." Angel smiled.

"Angel-" She didn't know what to say to explain the relief.
