Nightmares
Dawn tossed and turned in what had been a pleasant sleep, cold sweat trickled down and made the cut on her temple sting. Dawn hissed in her sleep as her dream turned nasty.
(Dream )
Spike was running, he running in a dark tunnel and he was dragging her along with him.
" Niblet ! We must hurry ! We have to get into the light !"
Dawn ran as quickly as she could, tears of fear and confusion streaming down her face. Then it happened Spike tripped and she came tumbling down with him. She pulled herself over to Spike who still had her wrist.
She saw Spike look over her shoulder and his blue eyes widen.
" Go Niblet, run into the light. I'll take care of the Portal go !"
Dawn shook her head, trembling from head to toe.
" I CAN'T LEAVE YOU SPIKE PLEASE !"
Spike shot up and grasped her wrist once more and began to sprint dragging her along as before. But the ball of fire which Dawn some how knew as the Portal of Hell had caught up with them, she was too far behind.
" SPIKE !"
Then Spike pulled her around himself and pushed her into the light before turning and spreading out his arms. Looking directly at the Portal he yelled.
" TAKE ME !"
Spike began to catch fire, flames licking his body as Hell sucked him in.
" SPIKE !"
(End of Dream)
Dawn sat bolt upright and screamed out his name.
" SPIKE !"
Spike heard her and with his Vampiric speed was at her side in an instant. Dawn ran out of bed and cried hysterically into his cold chest. She was shaking violently with no colour in her skin at all. As he gently prised her away he saw blood leak from her temple wound. Her skin glistened as the cold sweat reflected in the light. Dawn suddenly jerked away from him and was violently sick before collapsing to the floor crying .
More than a little concerned he pulled Dawn up into his strong arms and sat down on the bed.
Calm down Niblet,
calm down please Niblet. Your scaring me
Dawn sniffed.
That's my Niblet,
now tell me,
what had brought this on ? Niblet it's wasn't the feeding was it ?
Dawn shook her head instantly and then groaned.
No it wasn't that.
I told you Spike it felt wonderful
Spike frowned and tried again to find out what was wrong.
Then what was it Niblet ? What has hurt you.
Dawn coughed and turned to look at him, she could see worry filling his icy blue eyes and she slowly told him about her dream.
Spike held her close.
" It's ok Niblet. I promise it's ok. You need your rest-"
Dawn clung to Spike tighter thinking he was going to leave her.
" I'm not going anywhere Niblet, move over and we'll sleep together."
Dawn shyly moved over till she was scooted at the edge of the bed. Spike chuckled.
" Come closer Niblet, I won't bite. Unless you ask of course."
Dawn moved closer ever so slightly. She longed to be right up close to him, to lay her head over his naked chest and fall asleep in his arms, but she was sure he wouldn't like that.
Spike chuckled again and pulled her right up close, his arms around her shoulder and waist. Dawn sighed happily laying her head to rest on his chest. Spike kissed her forehead gently.
" Sweet dreams Niblet."
That's another chapter, I know someone of you may be wondering when Buffy is going to come in to and she will soon. And no case any of you were wondering this is not going to have a Spike/Dawn pairing. Dawn does have a crush on Spike, but Spike loves her as a daughter and is merely supporting her in anyway he can. That is it ! Totally innocent ! So review and once I get2reviews I'll update !
