'Its just blood'

Chapter 5

As the sun slowly rose Dawn lay in the bed watching Spike slumber is chest not even moving, the shadows cast across his chiselled cheeks, "Wow he kissed me", she had been thinking all night, "My first kiss, well technically it wasn't a kiss" she though as she snuck over to her bag and pulled out her diary, "Pen, pen where's a pen" She whispered as she rummaged through her back pack, "Damn" she slumped down glancing around the room "Ah his desk" she walked over to it opening the drawer with a quiet creak, inside lay some aged piece's of paper, a fountain pen and a pair of glasses, "cool pen" she said as she pulled out the pen and the papers, she quietly made her way back to the bed trying not to wake Spike.

Dear diary

Wow so much has happened since I wrote in you last, for starters I ran away, yeah I know big step, but get this I ran to Spikes and he said I could stay with him, and buffy and that didn't even know I was gone until Buffy came around to Spikes just realising I was gone, Oh yeah Before buffy found out I ran away Spike found out I liked him and he didn't get all weird about it, but he only found out cause their was some creepy soul eating guy in my room and he had to take me to Clems so he could get rid of it, oh yeah and when he found out my soul wasn't eaten he HUGGED me I know wow but I still find it strange though his skins really cold and it makes my skin feel funny, but a good funny.

Oh I can't forget this last Night when Buffy came round Spike told her about me cutting my wrists (I didn't even realise he knew) and she was going to stake him but listen to this I came in like SUPER DAWN and had Buffy pinned to the ground it was so cool and Spike said (when I told Buffy I wasn't going to go home with her) that I could stay at his house then he KISSED me yay but unfortunately it was only on my head but hey his lips touched my face.

Well I'll write some more tomorrow buh-bye for now

As Dawn put her diary back in her bag she glanced down at the brown paper, she pulled them up to her nose to smell them, they smelt musty and old as she turned them over to reveal black ink writing, tracing her eye's across the paper she realised they were poems, poems by Spike well William "Wow" she thought "I didn't know he wrote, and is really good", she accidentally knocked her bag off the bed causing a loud 'crash', Spike sat up with a jolt looking straight at Dawn "What are you doing" he growled as he noticed the papers in her hands "they are my private things" he said ripping them from her hands, "I... I Well I Umm" Dawn fumbled "I didn't mean to I was looking for a pen and um found them in that drawer I didn't read much only half of that first one, im so sorry Spike I didn't mean to, im sorry" she said trying to hold back her tears but not succeeding, Spike put the poems back in the drawer "It's fine Dawn just don't tell anyone ok" he said rubbing his head "Any way its day time your suppose to let me sleep" he said walking over to his bed " Now im taking back my bed while you go to school" he said laying on the bed "Spike its Saturday" Dawn said still sitting in the end of the bed looking at his bare feet, "I could go to school but I'll be the only one there" Dawn smiled as Spike sat back up "Oh" he leaned up against the wall, "Do you still write?" Dawn asked looking over to the desk "No not anymore pet kind of got over that" Spike said pulling out a ciggie, "They're good, well the half I read" Dawn moved up so she was sitting next to him "Can I have a puff? You got me addicted" she said giving him a little hit on the shoulder, Spike handed the smoke to Dawn, "Nah they're not that good, didn't win any awards" Spike said with a chuckle, "Spike can I ask you something?" Dawn said moving her eyes over the scars on her wrists, "Yeah anything pet" Spike took another puff, "What was my blood like I mean... Did you enjoy it" Dawn was screaming in her head "OH MY GOD DID YOU ENJOY IT HOW STUPID CAN YOU BE", her face turning a rosy red but she still didn't take her eyes of him, "Well bloody hell Nibblet if you are meaning what I think you mean by 'enjoy' I know I shouldn't but You wanting me to treat you as a adult and not a kid Yes it did, I didn't want to stop it took everything in me not to drain you dry, You well bloody hell you tasted brilliant" Spike said staring down at her wrists, only a few minutes passed but it seemed like eternity, Dawn turned away "That's what I thought I kind of felt it too" She said looking back at him "I know I could smell it" Spike suddenly feeling like a teenage boy on a first date, "You could?" Dawns eye's almost bulging out of her head, "So you can tell what im feeling by my smell?" She said trying not to sound to surprised, "And by your breathing and heart beat not just smell" he said throwing the cigarette butt on the ground,

"So do you know what im feeling now?" Dawn asked interested if he would get it right, "He turned his ear to her then sniffed the air, "Yeah, your heart is beating fast which is either fear or excitement, and I can't smell anything from you so... You are either frighted or Excited" Spike put his hands behind his head getting a bit more comfortable on the bed, "Wow your right, that must be so cool I wish I was a.." Spike put his hand over her mouth and growled "Never wish that, I can tell you its hell yeah your strong and got some cool abilities but," He pause as he removed his hand from her mouth, "You never get to see how the sun shines on someone's hair, or sit in the park and watch the doves play, or see the sparkle in your love's eye as the sun beams down on you and you never get to feel the warm rays of the sun on your bare skin" Spike looked down to his cigarette butt on the floor, "Wow see you are a good poet, make a girl melt in your arms" Dawn said pretending to melt in to him, Spike chuckled watching Dawn do this "Was that suppose to be, someone melting?" Spike said.

"Do you think she alright?" Xander said as he ate a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in Buffys kitchen, "do you think that we can visit her?" Anya asked, "I mean or will she think we are just checking up on her, Cause you know she kind of grew on me", "Im sure she's fine, Spike will take good care of her, as for the visiting I think we should all wait awhile" Giles said as he cleaned his glasses, "Why?" Anya bluntly asked, "I believe it may upset her more, puberty is a hard thing for a teenage girl to go through" Giles said, "Oh yes cause Giles was a teenage girl once" Xander Joked, "Oh my god really? did the Sex change hurt?, I once read about a man doing that and he said that the operation hurt afterwards" Anya cluelessly said, "Oh Anya I was never a girl, Im very sure I have been a male my whole life" Giles said with a laugh, "Can we not joke around about this please" Buffy said clutching her head, "I really just want to figure out how to get her back before, Well before she does something with Spike she will regret" Buffy took another sip of her coffee, "Cause come on Spike will screw anything with Tits and a pulse if they give him the chance" Anya looked at Buffy blankly "What if it was a man with breasts cause I have seen men who could wear a bra" Everyone in the room cracked up laughing, "He probably would" Xander said.

"What do you think they are talking about back at the house?" Dawn asked sitting back up, "Not sure, but I know the slayer will be having a coffee and Xander a sandwich, one guess what's in it" Spike said, "They will be thinking of a way to get me back, some plan to try and get you out of the picture, that Cow I hate her" Dawn bitterly said, "Yeah I hate her too" Spike joined "what a cow" he chuckled, "hey you teasing me" Dawn hit Spike playfully, " yeah what you going to do about it" Spike said hitting Dawn with a pillow, "Right time to teach you some manners" Dawn grabbed a pillow and hit him around they head, "take that" she said hitting him again, "Right" Spike said picking Dawn up and throwing her over his shoulder, "Tickle attack" he said as he threw her on the couch and began to tickle her, Dawn squirmed and giggled "No Fair you're stronger" She said trying to get away from his grip, "Ah its great isn't it, I could tickle you until you wet your knickers" Spike said with a sly smirk on his face, "But I better let Dawnie get a few Shots in first" Spike teased loosening his grip so she could get free, "Don't call me Dawnie" she said throwing Spike across the room, "Ow, your strong" he said getting back up, "Oh my god did I hurt you im so sorry" Dawn rushed over to him, "No its fine, I mean you are like Slayer strong, the only time I get thrown like that is when me and her get in a fight, did you know you could do this" he said grabbing her hands and examining her, "Really, Cool I can be a super hero too" Dawn joked, "But yeah I did kind of know I was strong but only when im mad" Dawn said looking at Spikes hands "Can you hit me as hard as you can, well your not angry" Spike said letting go off her hands "Spike no I don't want to hurt you" Dawn said putting her hand on his cheek, "Im a vampire my pain doesn't matter come on do it" Spike said "It matters to me" Dawn said walking back to the bed and sitting down "I wont hit you" she crossed her arms and pouted "Oh don't pout Nibblet" Spike said walking over to her and sitting down, "You don't have to hit me" Spike looked into her eyes, "Dawn can I kiss you" he asked, Dawn was speechless and just nodded her head as her dreams came true, he slowly leaned in toward her not taking his eyes off hers, Dawn could feel his cold hands on her cheeks, "I've never kissed before" she whispered as his lips touched hers tenderly, Her heart beat sped up as his tongue softly massaged hers, she wanted so bad for his hands to wander from her face down her body, but they stayed in the same place being a real gentleman for her first kiss, as he pulled away he kissed the tip of her nose then the bridge and her forehead, "Wow" Dawn sighed, "I mean.. Wow" She fell back into his body, "Now that's more like melting" Spike said.

They didn't realise Angel Standing at the hatch door, he had came through the tunnels, "Well taking advantage of little girls again Spike" he said Bitterly, "But this is the wrong girl to do that to" Angel said morphing into vamp, "doesn't anyone ever knock" Spike said frustrated, "Now I think I will be taking Dawnie home" Angel said walking towards Spike, "No sorry I can't let you do that" Spike Stood up and Vamped, "Its been so long since I had the chance to beat up my Grandsire" Spike said clicking his neck, "You hurt him Angel and I will kill you" Dawn said pulling her sleeves up, "Oh don't be stupid Dawn he's seduced you" Angel growled, "No he didn't" Dawn snapped taking another step towards Angel, "Now I think you should be leaving Angel, Before I hurt you" Dawn flicked her hair behind her shoulders and clenched her fist, Spike sat back down with a smirk on his face, " Dawn come on don't be..." Dawn smacked Angel right in the face causing him to morph back to normal, Then she threw another swing this time in the stomach causing him to fall to the ground, "Now Angel LEAVE" Dawn yelled as Angel got back up, "I can't leave you here" He said, "Wrong answer" Dawn bitterly said as she side kicked him across the room, Angel stammered back up only to find Dawn holding him in the air by his throat, "Lets get one thing straight, Me I decide where and when I go, not you, do you understand that or is Angel to thick to comprehend" She said looking into Angels eyes fiercely, Spike couldn't help but chuckle to himself, he was seeing a side off Dawn he had never known, "Ok Dawn im going" Angel regretfully said as Dawn threw him to the ground, "Buh-bye" Dawn sarcastically said as he disappeared back down the tunnels.

"Owie" Dawn moaned as she rubbed her hands together, "Now that hurts your hands", she said as Spike looked down at her knuckles, "Pet your knuckles" He said taking her hands, "It hurts" Dawn cried as Spike rub his thumb along her palm, "It will heal, but bloody hell Pet you showed him didn't you" Spike chuckled as he kissed Dawns hand, "But he's going to go tell Buffy Dawn, you do realise that" Dawn let out a sigh as she walked over to the sink and put her knuckles under cold water, "I know, But hey I bet up Angel" Dawn turned and gave Spike a smile, "You sure did, now let me see if I can find some bandages for your hands" Spike disappeared down the hatch.

"What do you think they are doing" Tara asked as she sipped some green tea, "I think they will be talking about us" Xander answered as he sat down with a coffee, "Or Spike could be showing Dawn something diff..." Xander put his hand over Anya's mouth, "That wont be happening anytime soon, cause we all know Buffster will stake Deadman" Xander said looking at the expressions on everyone's face's, "I Can't Stake him" Buffy said in a shallow voice, "Dawn said", Xander cut in, "Dawn said, Dawns just a teenager her hormones are raging her emotions over flowing she'd say anything", Buffy didn't even look up, "She will kill her self, give her self to Glory, she's like that"

Silence filled the room until the door flew open, "Angel, ah what are you doing here?" Willow said as she stood up, Buffy jolted up right and spun around to face Angel, "Spike, Dawn Big problems we have I just caught" Xander interrupted "Spit it out dead boy", "They were, he was, their lips", "Oh my" Giles said, "They were kissing, and then Buffy Dawn is super strong, I mean unbelievable strength, she had me dangling in the air by my throat" With this Buffy Sat back down and buried her head into her hands, "They were what" Xander demanded, "wait did you say super strength, was it like slayer, stay focused Xander, they were kissing" Xander blurted, "Oh we do have a problem now" Giles said walking to Buffy, "We can't let this behaviour get out of control now" Giles cleaned his glasses, "Well I was going to take care of Spike until Dawn bet the hell out of me" Angel said walking more in to the living room, "Well I think we should have an intervention like they do on doctor Phil, that's a great show aye honey", Anya put in, "Somehow I don't think that will work dear, but that was a lovely idea" Xander said with a smile, "Well no harm in trying Xander" Giles said, "I think it's a good idea".
