Pairings- Buffy/Spike

True Identity

Dawn pulled away, her lips stinging in how passionate that kiss had been.

Anthony kept a firm grip on her wrist and he pulled her closer into his chest. Dawn rested against his chest happily at first, then she froze. Her own heart was beating furiously against her ribcage, Anthony's didn't even beat. His heart wasn't beating.

" I'm a Vampire Dawn, and I really do like you a lot. I'm so sorry for this."

Next thing Dawn knew a burning pain exploded over her neck, she pulled out a dart and had time to send one thought before she passed out.

SPIKE ! HELP ME

Spike shot awake, that dream, a mysterious Vampire had been kissing Dawn when he had confessed what he was and stabbed a dart in her neck. He was sweating heavily. He lay back down and entered Dawn's mind. When her voice filled his head he yelped and shot out of bed, he felt his body shake and in his feral state he roughly shook Buffy awake.

"BUFFY WAKE UP ! BUFFY DAWN'S IN TROUBLE !"

Buffy leapt out of bed and that and hastily put her clothes on whilst shouting in a panic at Spike.

" What you mean Dawn's in trouble ?"

Spike put a hand on her shoulder and looked deep into her green eyes. And spoke her in a soothing calm voice.

" Buffy, Dawn is in trouble, she's in trouble and we're going to save her but first we have to get back to your house."

Buffy let out a scream of frustration her voice beginning to sound hysterical.

" HOUSE ! MY HOUSE ! WHY THE HELL WOULD WE GO THERE ! WE HAVE TO FIND HER !"

Spike growled and took her wrists in his hands, holding tightly.

" Whoever has taken Dawn has taken her to get to you, therefore they will want you to know that they have her and they will use her as bait. To make sure you go to them they got to tell you where to go in the first place !"

Buffy narrowed her eyes at him, her voice accusing.

" You seem to have this all sussed out ?"

Spike looked momentarily hurt before his wall came up and he replied tonelessly.

" I'm not Angel Buffy, You know what I am. Who I am. And it's because of who I am that we're going to find Dawn."

Spike turned to open the door when a fist collided painfully with the side of his head.

He howled in the surprised pain.

" THIS IS YOUR FAULT ! IF I HADN'T BEEN WITH YOU I WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH HER ! SHE NEEDED ME ! SHE NEEDED ME AND I WAS HERE WITH YOU !"

Spike turned around his face in Vampire mood.

" This is not my fault Slayer, your hurting Buffy, I understand that but you can't lock Dawn away, sooner or later she was going to leave the house without us."

Buffy faced him, her hand lightly skimming the purple bruise that was rapidly healing on Spike's face. Tears of shame filled her eyes and she whispered a apology in a broken sounding voice. Spike put a hand on her shoulder.

" No need."

With that Spike ran himself and Buffy with his Vampiric speed to her home, a rock in front of the door with a note wrapped around it greeted them. Buffy unwrapped it.

It read one word.
