'Its just Blood'
Chapter four
"Spike is it ok if I bring my blankets up here, just knowing there was a soul snatcher down there gives me the hibie jebies you know" Dawn said fumbling around cleaning up the mess from the fight "well I guess so" Spike said feeling a bit odd "I'll go get your blankets from down stairs" he said going down the broken hatch, Dawn smiled when he disappeared down the stairs "YES!" she Screamed in her head.
"well I guess Dawn went to school today I didn't get a call from the school" Buffy said a little relieved "I think I'll go talk to her" Buffy said as she climbed the stairs "she has some explaining to do", Buffy pushed Dawns door open "hey Dawnie we need to tal..." Buffy looked around the room "Dawnie are you here" Buffy left the room and walked down stairs "Did Dawn say she was staying at a friends house tonight" she asked the others "no well I actually haven't seen Dawn for a couple of days" Willow declared as she stood up "Has anyone seen Dawn lately" she said "No ah do you think she's done a disappearing act on us" Xander said "Maybe she's ran away" Tara said, "NO!" Buffy hastily blurted out "I mean why would she?" Buffy had a distressed look on her face as she glared around the room at the four faces looking at her pacing the room, "Hey calm down Dawns a teenager they do these kinds of things, we did" Xander said trying to calm down Buffy, "well she has to come back one day soon she'll get hungry, they usually do" Anya said bluntly, "Oh is this that thing I do" she said looking at the expressions on everyone's face's Anya slumped down on the sofa next to Xander who nodded his head.
As Spike came up stairs Dawn had already changed into her night Gown "well that's a little short Nibblet" Spike said trying not to look at her long slender legs that practically started from her neck, Dawn suddenly became very self-Conscious she pulled some trackies on fast when she saw Spike staring, "Oh sorry Bit, I didn't mean to embarrass you" he said trying to get himself under control he had never noticed how stunning she was, Spike put the blankets on the sofa "You can have my bed luv" Spike said as he opened the fridge open and grab some blood, Dawn watched intrigued by the way he morphed and sunk his fangs into the bag so savagely like he was starving, dieing of thirst, "What's it like drinking blood?" She questioned watching him He looked up from his meal at first he just stared at her then he bluntly said "Well its like you and your favourite meal except I need blood to live not just for pleasure" she continued to stare at this Vampire, "what's it like to drain the life out of someone, to feel their body become limp?" she asked intrigued by what he would say he looked on a little shocked by her forwardness "It's like a thrill, it's exotic, it arouses..." he stoped himself from continuing he didn't want to make things any more awkward than they already are, "Please don't stop, I like when you treat me like an adult and not some 5 year old innocent little girl" she stared so intensely into his eye's almost piercing them, she really wanted to hear this, but he couldn't bring himself to tell her he really didn't know if he could control his arousal, "Spike please" she said in all most a whisper he looked her in the eyes and said "Dawn if I do I may not be my self because I haven't had a shag in a while and to be honest it will arouse me, talking like that" Dawn almost fell off the seat when he said this she was speechless all she could do was look at him turn back to his bag of blood, she flicked on the television and tried not to think about what he just said to her.
"Yeah Angel can you get your contacts to keep and eye for her" Buffy said over the phone "Yeah I will, Bye" Buffy put the phone down and turned and looked at Giles
"Im sure she safe Buffy, have you checked with Spike?" Buffy almost ran out the door when Giles mentioned Spike.
As she stormed down the streets all the worst scenarios ran threw her mind "Maybe she's in some ditch or she could be hurt and alone some where" as she reached Spikes crypt she was jumped by three vamps "Oh great, not right now" she yelled at them as she fought them off.
"Spike what was that?" Dawn said jumping up and straight into his arms, Spike lifted his head to try and get a scent but all he could smell was the sweet scent of Dawns hair he let go of her and stuck his head out the door "Slayer" he said as Buffy walked up to him she pushed pasted Spike and sat down "Spike she gone" Buffy said crying "Dawn she's gone, I can't believe she could do this to us, why would she run away?" Spike turn and faced her "Yeah sure come on in" he slammed the door shut "Hey Slayer why don't you stop thinking about yourself for once and think how Dawn feels"
Buffy stood up and threw Spike against the wall "Don't you Dare try and say I drove her to this im just protecting her" she said with a stake at his heart "you guys have been all so busy with you selves I bet you didn't even know she has been cutting herself" Dawns heart sped up when she heard Spike say that she didn't realise he knew, she stepped back into the shadows even more clutching her wrist's "What no she hasn't" Buffy pierced Spikes skin with the point of the stake, Spike let out a small growl with the pain "She ran away about a week ago if you didn't notice, she's been here with me I was keeping her safe" Buffy pulled the stake back ready to dust him "DON'T" Dawn screamed as she threw herself at Buffy knocking her to the ground, "You hurt him and I will kill my self, maybe slit my wrists or I could just let a vampire eat me, oh no I know I'll give my self to Glory" Dawn said pinning Buffy to the ground holding her throat tightly, Spike couldn't help but smile at this seeing the little bit take on the Slayer and have her pinned to the ground with such ease "I swear I will Buffy" she said getting up off her sister "Dawn don't be so silly lets go home and talk" Buffy said trying to grab Dawns hand "You had your chance to talk Buffy you blew it its too late, Your not mom so stop trying to act like her" she reached down and pulled her sleeves up revealing her scared wrists she began pointing to them "See this, this one came when you ditched me to go be obsessed with Angel, oh and this one..." she continued telling Buffy the reason for every single one "Oh and this one its from today a week pasted and you didn't even notice I was gone" she said scraping the dried blood from the wound allowing it to bleed, Spike could smell her blood and he ran to the fridge and pulled out another bag of blood and vamped into it "Oh Dawnie im sorry I didn't know" holding Dawns arms "Come on lets take you home and clean that up im sure we can work this out"
Dawn yanked her arms from Buffy and walked over to Spike "im staying here" she said as she stood next to Spike "Nibblet" Spike whispered in her ear "Blood too much please stop it" Buffy saw his face flash from Vamp to normal then to vamp and normal "Like hell im leaving you here Dawn look what your blood is doing to him how do you know he wont kill you?" Dawn looked at her wrist then Spike "He wont" she grabbed him and walked down the stairs "Don't you dare come down here" Dawn yelled at her sister as she shut the broken hatch door
"Spike drink it" she said holing her wrist to his mouth "just don't drain me I trust you" she said closing her eye's "Nibblet I can't" he said moving his head "Spike please" she said moving closer to him, he could smell her blood and it drove him crazy he slowly lowered his lips to her wound letting his tongue drape across the open cut he could hear Dawns heart speed up and shivers ran down her spine he slowly began to suck on her wrist grazing his fangs over the cut to keep it bleeding, it was the most amazing blood he had ever tasted so sweet and pure he could taste her virginity, she slowly move into him leaning on his shoulder as he drank from her, it felt amazing it was more of a rush then cutting herself he slowly lifted his head from her wrist as it had stopped bleeding, "Wow Dawn thanks" stroking her hair as he pulled him self back together trying to savour the flavour the most unique blood he had ever tasted it was better that Slayer blood "that was such a rush" Dawn said taking a big breath "oh yeah Buffy" she remembered her sister upstairs "okay lets go face the dragon" She said standing up but falling back onto Spike "Opps a bit dizzy" Spike stood up and held her as she got her head back as they came up stairs she turned and looked at Spike reaching her hand to his lips slowly wiping her blood from his lips and into her own mouth "you messy eater" she whispered "You're coming home Dawn" Buffy said looking down at her blood free wrist "there's no way im leaving you here with him he's evil" she snared "No he's not Buffy he just had the chance to drain me dry but he didn't" Dawn snapped "YOU LET HIM DRINK FROM YOU!" Buffy yelled pulling back out her stake, as she done this Dawn pulled the razor from her pocket she pressed it on her wrist "Pet please" Spike said pleading for Dawn to stop, Buffy stopped and looked at Dawn with such pain, she turned and began to leave "you hurt one hair..." Spike interrupted "I know I'll be in a dust bag" and Buffy was out off there.
"Please Nibblet don't" he said reaching down and taking the blade from her fingers, Dawn just collapsed to the ground tears streaming down her face "Im so sorry, Im so sorry" she said with her head on the cold stone floor she just lay there not moving a muscle "Spike, im so sorry" Spike reached down and pick her up and sat her on the couch he kelt at her feet "Don't be silly Nibblet, you have nothing to be sorry for" Spike flicked on the television "lets watch some soaps" he said trying to cheer up Dawn, she wiped the tears from her cheeks "Ok".
"So Buffy did Deadman know anything" Xander said as Buffy walked into the living room "She's there, she is at Spike's, did you know she's ran away about a week ago" Buffy said as Willow put her arms around Buffy pulling her into a hug "we didn't even notice she was cutting herself" Tears streamed down Buffy's face, Xander looked around the room at Buffy then Giles and Willow, "Oh my" Giles said cleaning his glasses, "How long has this been happening?" Willow asked "About three months" Buffy sat down on the sofa burying her head in her hands, "I didn't even notice" she repeated.
Dawn had fallen asleep on Spikes shoulder, "Nibblet" he whispered as he picked her up and placed her on the bed, Dawn opened her eyes, "Spike" she said as he pulled the blankets up over her, "Yeah Bit" he said as he looked down at her "I told her, and is she's going to stake you" Dawn sat up
and leaned her back against the wall "She wont do that Pet, she doesn't want to hurt you" Dawn looked down at her hands sitting on her lap, "I don't want her to hurt you Spike" Dawn said in almost a whisper, "well you definitely showed her, how did you get that strong" A smile spread across Dawn face, "Don't know, but I did have her down didn't I" Spike chuckled "you bloody well did, she was so shocked" Dawn began to giggle "Spike can I stay here, Please I don't want to go back and explain" She clasped her wrist tightly, "Hey Nibblet I am sorry for telling her, yeah you can stay here, wouldn't have it any other way, but you have to go to school ok" Spike gave her a little kiss on the head "Now go to sleep", as Spike stood up he was kicking himself how could he kiss her she had a crush on him and he is encouraging it, but he wanted to, he hadn't ever notice he was in love with the wrong Summers.
