Chapter 10

The early morning light hit Dawn eye's as sunlight crept through the window. She opened her eyes and looked up at the person next to her she smiled and snuggled closer to Peter's chest. Last night had been magical for her she'd never felt so alive. In that moment with Peter she knew he was the she wanted to spend the rest of her life with.

She played with the golden necklace he had on his chest. It was heart shaped she'd always see Peter mess with it whenever he was anxious or nervous and whenever she asked where he got it he'd always say a 'friend'. Then Dawn made the mistake of opening it.

Inside was a small photo of a younger looking Peter with glasses and a blonde girl kissing his cheek. She starred at the photo intently. Peter stirred in his sleep and grabbed Dawns lower waist to which Dawn squealed waking Peter up.

Peter looked down at Dawn with a grin. "Morning Dawnie"

Dawn smiled brightly. "Morning Pete" kissing his lips and moved her body on to Peter's stomach.

Peter moved the hair out of Dawn's eyes and stared at her. He hadn't felt this close to someone since Gwen. Last night was the first time he didn't have dreams of that night. With Dawn he felt complete and he wouldn't let anyone touch her. Especially the demon god looking for her back in Sunnydale.

"Peter? You okay?" asked Dawn.

"Y-yea I'm fine," said Peter. He glanced at the clock, which read 11:15AM they had missed their train back to Sunnydale. Which meant Buffy had to cover for him again. His Aunt thinks Peter's on a school trip to a science expo for college credit in LA.

"Shit! We over slept" yelled Peter.

Dawn looked at the clock then smiled she leaned in to Peter's ear. "That means we have time to ourselves," she whispered. Dawn got out of the bed still naked and walked towards the bathroom. Peter's eyes were on her the entire time he followed her inside.

After getting dressed Peter and Dawn decided to tour the streets of LA and see what the city had to offer. The two teens were in the food court eating food when Dawn heard a familiar voice.

"Well if it isn't Buffy's little sister," said the voice.

Both teens turned and there stood a tanned brunette with brown hair in a t-shirt and jeans. It was Cordelia Chase one of the many former Scooby's that left Buffy's gang .She worked for Angel now who was using his vampire abilities as a private investigator.

"Cordelia" shouted Dawn in amazement it had been awhile since she'd seen Cordelia since Buffy's graduation. She ran over towards her and wrapped her in a hug, which surprisingly Cordelia accepted.

"What are you doing in LA? And who's that boy your sitting next to… let me guess boyfriend?" asked Cordelia

Dawn nodded" Me and Peter are just seeing the sights were actually leaving tomorrow for Sunnydale"

"Well isn't that just great. Hey how bout you two come by the office I'm sure Angel wouldn't mind… Buffy isn't here is she?" asked Cordelia

Dawn shook her head. "Nope just me and my boyfriend" she said smiling brightly.

Cordelia smirked she could see Dawn had a skip in her step. She knew what that meant little Ms. Summers had her cherry popped and recently too. Cordelia decided to just shake it off though she didn't want to pry into her love life that wasn't her anymore right now she had bigger problems. Like Drusilla and Harmony to worry about.

Peter walked towards the two girls and introduced himself to Cordelia. She had to admit Dawn sure knew how to pick them. Peter was nice and not too bad looking either. The three talked for a little bit about how LA was before leaving for Angel's.

When the three arrived at Angel's Peter was impressed the place was average but nice kind of reminded him of New York.

"Just wait here I'll go get Angel" said Cordy and disappeared into the back of the building. The couple sat on a wooden bench while they waited for Cordy to bring Angel. Suddenly Dawn's eye's rolled into the back of her head and she started to squirm in the seat. Peter started to panic and yelled for help. Then a man with a black trench coat and wore all black clothing he had spiked brown hair and brown eyes. Peter knew it was given the description everyone gave him this was Buffy's ex Angel.

Angel picked up Dawn and carried her to the back with Peter following close behind and place her on the table.

"What happened?" asked Angel.

" I don't know we were sitting down and then she just started doing this!" said a frantic Peter.

Seconds later Dawn's eyes went back to normal and she bolted up from the table and looked straight at Peter.

"We need to leave now!"
