Chapter 5
2006: BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS
"Home sweet home" Spike says entering their three bedroom,
two bath condo after an evening of shopping. "Dawnie did you have to
get all this stuff?" he grumbles setting the bags on the kitchen
counter.
"Spike I need to eat" she kisses his cheek "Thanks for going
with me."
Spike pulls her against him "I like spending time with you"
Dawn smiles kissing him quickly "I got to put away food
before ice cream melts"
Spike releases her leaning against the counter he lights
cigarette. "What do you want to do tonight luv?"
"I have a test tomorrow. I better study. How about we go out
play some pool at the club tomorrow night"
"Sure luv. What's the test on?"
"Biology." she sighs setting the milk in the refrigerator "I
can't believe I'm in college"
"You've grown up since we first met." he looks her over
appreciatively
Dawn looks at him annoyed "Spike" she groans
Spike puts out his cigarette lifting Dawn onto the
counter "My Nibblets grown." he strokes her cheek "I remember the
first time we met." he smiles
Dawn laughs "It was at Parents night at Buffy's school. Mom
couldn't find anyone to watch me so she took me with her."
"And Mum hit me with the axe."
Dawn smiles "I felt sorry for you."
"I did try to take a bite out of the Slayer." he grins
"That wasn't the first time" Dawn rolls her eyes. "But it
wasn't the first time we met." she says "We just remember it that way"
"So we'll always see it that way"
"But its a lie." Dawn protests
"It may be but does it feel like it?"
Dawn looks at him and smiles shaking her head "It feels like
I've known you since I was ten years old. Can you believe I'm almost
twenty-one"
Spike smiles "It is hard to believe"
"I miss Mom and Buffy"
"I know."
Dawn sighs "I better go study."
"I'll finish putting away the food."
"Thanks"
Spike sets her on the floor "Go study luv." he kisses
her "I'm goin' out for a drink after I finish up here."
"OK" Dawn smiles she walks into their bedroom
Spike shakes his head finishing putting away the food.
NEXT AFTERNOON
Dawn enters the apartment to find Spike sprawled on the couch
asleep. She smiles setting her backpack down she goes over to the
couch "Spike" she sing-songs her fingers trailing through his short
blond locks
" 'ello luv" Spike grins opening his eyes "How was class?"
"Long"
Spike pulls her atop him "How was your test?"
"Hard. I'm so glad finals are over"
"How about we celebrate luv?" Spike suggests with a leer
"What do you have in mind?"
Spike kisses her bruisingly his hands slidding under her
shirt "How about we shag"
Dawn smiles leaning down she kisses his bare chest "Mmm
sounds like fun" she slides her hands over his chest
Spike pulls off her shirt "Wearing your new bra luv?" he
smiles at the sight of the black satin bra.
"And the panties" she smirks
"The thong?" he growls
Dawn nods
Spike groans "Bloody hell luv" he strips off her clothes
leaving her wearing only her bra and thong. He growls appreciatively
Dawn giggles "You like?" standing she turns around giving him
a full view.
"Oh yeah" Spike stands lifting Dawn into his arms making his
way to their bedroom
THAT EVENING
"Dawnie you ready luv?" Spike calls from the kitchen
"In a minute" Dawn replies
Spike sighs
"OK I'm ready"
Spike turns around to find Dawn standing in the doorway
wearing a short blue skirt with a black cropped tank top. "Bloody
hell luv" he groans
"not leaving much to my imagination"
"You've seen me naked... and wearing my scrubs"
Spike groans again "Luv if you want to go out then don't
mention being naked."
Dawn smiles "Lets get going."
AN HOUR LATER: CLUB
Spike and Dawn find themselves in the back of the club with
the pool tables. Spike watches as Dawn sets up for a shot. He growls
seeing the other men staring at Dawn's ass as she leans over the
table. "Bloody pricks" he then groans in pain as his head explodes in
pain at the thought of hurting the men.
"Your turn" Dawn nods at the other guy while she goes over to
Spike "You thinking bad thoughts again" she says wrapping her arms
around his waist resting her head on his chest.
"I hate this chip" Spike groans
"Spike you tried for years to get it out. Only the Initiative
knows how and all of them are dead."
"I know" he sighs
"Hey your shot."
"I'm out." Dawn replies lifting her head she caresses the
side of his face "Feel better?"
Spike nods kissing her forehead "Thirsty luv?"
"Yeah"
"Be right back little bit"
Dawn grins at him "Haven't called me little bit in a long
time"
"I haven't?" Spike lifts his brow
"Nope"
"Well your not my little bit anymore" he says sadly
Dawn wraps her arms around his neck "I'll always be your
little bit." she says softly her eyes locked on his.
Spike smiles "And I'll always protect you"
"Good. Now go get me my drink" she orders
Spike kisses her bruisingly then steps back squeezing her ass
he leans down licking her neck "Don't go anywhere" he purrs
"I won't" she promises sitting down she watches as Spike
makes his way out of the room to the bar.
Spike makes his way through the crowd. "Coke and a beer."
"Coming right up"
Spike leans against the counter tapping his fingers absently
as he listens to the band playing and watches as the people dance on
the floor. 'Reminds me of the Bronze' he smiles warily
"Hey" the bartender calls
Spike turns around to find the drinks before him "Thanks" he
sets a ten on the counter grabbing the drinks he makes his way back
to the game room. His eyes narrow as he sees a couple guys standing
around the table crowding Dawn. He growls low sensing her unease. He
makes his way towards the table setting the drink before Dawn.
Dawn smiles at him relieved.
"You blokes want somethin'?" Spike growls taking up his
position behind Dawn his arms around her shoulders. He looks at each
man in turn his eyes glaring at them as if to say 'Mine'
Dawn senses his anger she tilts her head to look up at
him "Dance with me?" she asks
Spike nods taking a drink of his beer he helps Dawn to her
feet leading her out of the game room to the dance floor. He pulls
Dawn close "You OK little bit?" he asks concerned
Dawn snuggles close "Yeah"
"They do anything Nibblet?" Spike asks tilting her head up to
meet his worried gaze
Dawn shakes her head "They just gave me the wigs." she gives
him a small smile resting her head on his chest.
Spike presses his lips against her hair looking over to see
three of the men watching them. He glowers at the men a low growl
erupting in his chest. Hearing Dawn giggle he looks down to see Dawn
looking up at him
"Its funny hearing that"
"You hear it a lot pet"
Dawn smiles "Yes but its not often I hear it like this."
Spike smiles back "How about we go now luv" he suggests
Dawn nods "Lets go for a walk"
"Sure" Spike puts his arm around her shoulders
possesively "where to pet?"
"I don't know." she puts her arm around his waist
2 DAYS LATER
" 'ello pet" Spike greets as Dawn enters the kitchen of the
condo "How was class?" he asks as she hops up on the kitchen counter.
Dawn hops up on the counter swinging her legs casually "Long."
Spike looks her over "Why?"
Dawn smirks spreading her legs "I spent the whole time
wanting you."
Spike moves closer his hands going to the waist of her skirt
slowly he removes it dropping it on the floor along with her panties.
He growls seeing her wet curls "Mine" he grabs a chair sitting down
he pulls her to the edge of the counter leaning forward he leisurely
licks her groaning at her taste
Dawn moans at the feeling of his cool tongue "Feels so good"
THAT EVENING
"Dawnie I'm goin' out for a while" Spike calls pulling on his
duster
Dawn walks out of the bedroom slipping on her shoes at the
same time. "So am I."
"Not alone" Spike retorts
"Spike I'm going to coffee shop."
"Why?" Spike asks
"I told some people from my English class I'd meet them. I
knew you were going out so" she shrugs
"I'll walk you there." Spike says firmly
"Spike I'm twenty."
"And I don't want anything to happen to you on your way
there."
"All right" she sighs grabbing her jacket she follows Spike
outside.
15 MINS LATER
"I'll meet you here when I'm done with my business" Spike
says as they enter the coffee shop. He leans down kissing Dawn
tenderly.
"OK stay out of trouble." Dawn smiles
Spike grins "You too" with a final stroke of her cheek "I'll
be here in a few hours."
Dawn nods watching as Spike walks out the door. She makes her
way over to the table where she finds her friends "Hey guys" she
greets
"Hey Dawn" a girl with black hair named Grace "Where's your
guy?"
Dawn sits down "He had some errands to run."
"What can I get you?" the waiter asks
"Just a coffee" Dawn replies
"Alright" the waiter says walking away
"So how long have you and your guy been together?" a blond
named Rachel asks
Dawn frowns "Seems like forever. I've known Spike since I was
eleven. He was a friend of my sister's ex Angel. Spike and I've been
friends since I was fourteen."
"You've been dating him since you were 14?!" Grace says
surprised
Dawn shakes her head "No we started hangin' out together when
my Mom got sick. After Mom died he started babysitting me while my
sister was uh working. Spike's the last of my family." she shrugs
"And he's cute" Rachel grins
"Yeah, he is"
Chapter 6
HOUR LATER
"I'm going outside for some fresh air" Dawn says
"Sure" Grace nods her attention on a group of guys standing
nearby
Dawn stands heading heading outside. She sits down on a bench
outside the shop taking a deep breath. "Fresh air" she says happily
closing her eyes. She starts in surprise when she hears footsteps
behind her. She looks up to see the three guys from the club standing
there.
"Hey you were at the club the other night" the short stocky
guy says
"Uh yeah" Dawn stands "I better head back in" trying to get
around the three men only to be blocked by a large guy with a shaved
head.
"Why don't you come with us to the club" the tall skinny guy
suggests
"Sorry but I've already got a boyfriend." she feels shivers
travel up and down her spine 'Spike where are you?' she tries to move
around them when she's grabbed from behind
Spike rounds the corner to find a couple men standing infront
of the shop. He frowns smelling fear... Dawn's fear. He runs towards
them
Dawn sees Spike running towards them "Spike" she calls terror
filling her voice. "Help"
Seeing the terror in her eyes Spike vamps then the pain
explodes in his head he stops in his track clutching his pounding
skull "DAWN" he roars trying to fight his way through the pain to get
to Dawn.
Dawn struggles to get out of the tight grasp of the man
holding her "Spike" she cries tears falling as she watches Spike
struggle to control the pain searing his skull.
Spike watches through the haze of pain as Dawn is shoved in a
car. He watches as the car pulls away from the curb "DAWN" he roars
digging his nails into his palm his demon screaming in pain and
terror.
Dawn struggles against the man holding her down "Let me go"
she demands "I have to go help Spike" she's struck across the face
her head hitting the window with a 'crack'
"Shut up"
Dawn holds her cheek glaring at the man 'Spike.'
Spike stands on the sidewalk watching as the car pulls away.
After a few moments the pain subsides and he takes off in the
direction the car had taken. 'Dawn. Find Dawn. Can't let anything
happen to my Dawn.'
10 MINS LATER
Dawn finds herself shoved in a small room in an abandoned
warehouse. "Let me out" she pounds on the door.
"Shut up" a man yells throwing the door open.
"What do you want with me?" she demands glaring at short
stocky man.
She watches as the other two men enter behind the first man. When the
men advance she feels her stomach clench. 'No' the first man grabs
her "NO let me go" she struggles to get away when the man shoves her
on the bed holding her down. Feeling the hands rip at her clothes she
shuts herself off 'Spike... oh god.'
60 MINS LATER
Spike stops in his tracks as he notices the car that the men
had shoved Dawn into parked infront of an abandoned warehouse. He
stands there his demon flickering in anger after a moment he hurries
towards the building. Silently he enters the warehouse noticing the
smell of blood 'Dawn' he growls low. A door opens and out the men
walk each reeking of sex.
"Lets get out of here. Find some fun. She won't be any fun
for a while" the short stocky man smirks closing the door behind them
he locks it.
Spike surpresses a growl as he watches the men walk out of
the warehouse laughing. After hearing the car pull away Spike steps
out of the shadows hurrying towards the closed door he breaks the
door open. He enters to find Dawn unconscious on a bed naked. "Oh
Dawnie" he sighs going over to the bed he sits on the edge of the bed
he smoothes her hair off her forehead wincing at the sight of a
bruise forming on her forehead and her tearstained face. "Dawn I'm
sorry"
"Spike" Dawn moans her eyes fluttering open
"Hey little bit" he says softly
"Spike?"
"Yeah its me"
Dawn sits up throwing her arms around his neck "Spike" she
sobs into his neck
"Shh I'm here" Spike soothes blinking back his own tears as
he strokes her brown hair "Spike's got ya little bit" he presses his
lips to her hair
then pulls back looking at her "We need to get out of here luv."
Dawn sniffles nodding when Spike releases her she whimpers
"Not going anywhere luv" Spike promises. He sees her clothing
in a pile on the floor ripped. He removes his duster and dress
shirt. "C'mon Dawnie" he helps her into his dress shirt buttoning it
up then helps her into his duster. He tucks a loose strand of hair
behind her ear "You'll be OK Dawn"
Dawn wraps her arms around herself.
Spike lifts her "Lets go home baby girl"
Dawn snuggles against him tears falling as she silently
cries. 'Safe with Spike.' The two remain quiet as they walk out of
the warehouse making their way to their home as fast as Spike can
while carrying her.
Spike sets Dawn down reaching inside his duster pocket
careful not to touch her without her knowing he removes is keys
unlocking the door he ushers Dawn inside. "We should go to the
hospital get you checked out."
Dawn looks at him "No" she shakes her head "they'll ask too
many questions" she says panicked
Spike sighs needlessly seeing the terror in her
eyes "Alright." 'They smelled clean.' "Why don't you go take a shower
luv." Spike suggests "I'll bring your pajamas in in a moment."
"OK" Dawn silently trudges into the bathroom
Spike sits on the couch leaning on his forearms he holds his
head. 'They hurt my Dawn.' he growls
Dawn closes the bathroom door removing the duster she goes
over to the shower turning it on.
Spike lights a cigarette taking a drag listening as the
shower runs. 'They hurt my girl... my mate' he starts realizing his
thought 'my mate... she is my mate.' he smiles 'They'll pay for
hurting my mate.' he frowns hearing the sound of sobs coming from the
bathroom. 'Dawn' he realizes stamping out his cigarette he stands
going to the bathroom door he knocks "Dawn" he calls not getting an
answer he enters the bathroom to find Dawn sitting on the shower
floor crying. He kicks off his boots and pulls off his socks entering
the shower he sinks to the shower floor pulling Dawn into his
arms. "Shh luv." he slowly rocks her as she sobs against his chest
HALF HOUR LATER
Spike looks at Dawn curled up in their bed staring at the
wall. "Dawn do you want something to eat luv?" Spike asks sitting on
the edge of the bed
"No" Dawn mumbles
"Water? Juice?"
Dawn shakes her head
Spike nods "Get some rest luv. I'll be in the livingroom if
you need me" after a moment he walks out of the bedroom. "Everything
will be OK Dawnie I promise" he sits on the couch "no one will hurt
you... ever"
LATER
Spike looks towards the bedroom door hearing Dawn cry out in
her sleep. 'Dreaming.' he realizes hurrying into the bedroom he sits
on the edge of the bed stroking her hair soothingly. "Its OK Dawn."
he says softly. When she starts to thrash violently he gently shakes
her "DAWN" he says "luv wake up. Its OK"
Hearing the familiar voice Dawn opens her eyes sitting up
with a start "Spike" she whimpers throwing her arms around his neck.
"I'm here luv" Spike assures stroking her back
soothingly "Spike's here. No one will hurt you"
"They did"
Spike swallows a growl "I know luv."
"What if they try to..." she trails off her eyes pained
"They won't ever hurt you." he promises his eyes cold and
loving at the same time "I won't let anyone hurt you Dawn... ever
again." he kisses her forehead "Now rest Nibblet."
"Will you stay Spike?" she asks laying down she tugs on his
hand. "I don't want to sleep without you. I don't want to dream."
Spike nods laying down behind her he spoons his body around
hers. "Sleep Dawn."
Dawn brings his hand up to her lips "Spike..."
"Hmm?"
Dawn tilts her head to look up at him "I love you" she says
softly
Spike smiles bringing her hand to his lips "I love you" he
echoes
Dawn gives him a small sad smile
"Now sleep Nibblet."
"You won't leave me?" she asks worriedly
"Never Dawnie. I will never leave you." he promises "I will
never let anyone hurt you ever again"
Relieved Dawn snuggles close to the vampire closing her
eyes. 'Safe' she thinks drifting back to sleep
Spike looks at the sleeping young woman his mind wandering
over the nights events as he holds her. 'Those pricks are never goin'
ta hurt you again.' he swears to himself
Chapter 7
TWO DAYS LATER
"Dawnie you need to eat" Spike pleads
Dawn looks at him "I'm not hungry" she pulls the covers
around herself
"You haven't eaten in two days luv."
Dawn shrugs
"You're going to eat Dawn." Spike says firmly pulling the
covers off her he lifts her up carrying her into the kitchen.
"Spike put me down. I said I'm not hungry"
Spike sets her at the kitchen table crouching before her he
takes her hands "Baby girl you need to eat. For me?"
Dawn looks at him blankly
"I love you Dawn." he says for the first time in two
days "Your starvin' yourself pet and I don't want that to happen." he
strokes her cheek "Please Dawn eat somethin' for good ol' Spike"
Dawn brushes her lips against his palm tears forming she
nods "For you" she says softly
Spike smiles leaning forward he kisses her forehead "Thank
you little bit" he stands "What do you want to eat luv?" seeing her
shrug he goes to the refrigerator "How 'bout some eggs" he suggests
Dawn watches as he moves about the kitchen making her
something to eat. As he's standing infront of the stove she stands
walking over to him she wraps her arms around his waist her head
resting on his still chest.
Spike hugs her slowly stroking her hair he absently begins to
purr
Dawn lifts her head meeting Spike's gaze she reaches a
shaking hand to his cheek. "Spike" she breathes returning her head to
his chest.
"I'm 'ere luv" he assures he pulls her close to his side as
he turns off the stove. As Dawn stays at his side he puts the
scrambled eggs on a plate then with one arm around Dawn the other
holding the plate he leads her to the table. As Dawn sits down he
sets the plate before her. "What do you want to drink luv?"
"Juice please" Dawn requests her eyes on Spike as he goes to
the refrigerator almost afraid that if she takes her eyes off him
he'd be gone. When he sets the glass of juice before her she takes a
bite of her eggs.
Spike sits across from her watching as she slowly eats "Feel
better?"
Dawn shrugs wincing at the movement
"You OK?" he asks concerned
"Sore" she mumbles
"Finish eatin' and I'll go draw you a bath" Spike stands
seeing the fear in her eyes he gives her a small smile "I'll be right
back"
" 'kay" she nods watching as he walks into the bathroom.
Slowly Dawn continues to eat her eyes remaining on the open bathroom
door. She sighs in relief when Spike walks out of the bathroom a few
moments later.
"Want anything else to eat luv?"
Dawn shakes her head turning her attention to her plate every
so often she looks up at Spike to reassure herself he's still there.
After a few moments she sets her fork down.
"You done?"
"Yeah" Dawn nods
"Your bath should be ready" he lifts Dawn up carrying her
into the bathroom. He sets her down "I'll be in the livingroom if you
need me" he turns to walk out of the bathroom when Dawn grabs his
arm. He looks at her
"Stay with me." she pleads her eyes wide
"You sure luv?"
Dawn nods "I don't want to be alone with my thoughts" she
slowly removes her clothes aware of Spike's eyes on her she avoids
looking at him.
Spike bites back a growl at the sight of the bruises on her
body. "Dawn" he says softly his pale hand brushes across a bruise on
her thigh.
Dawn sees the anger and hurt in his blue eyes reaching up she
touches his cheek. After a moment she steps into the bathtub sinking
down into the warm bubbles she sighs reaching out her hand for his.
Feeling his cool hand in hers she leans back closing her eyes. When
she feels his lips against her knuckles she opens her eyes giving him
a small smile.
"Feel better?" Spike asks
Dawn squeezes his hand "As long as your here"
"I'm not goin' anywhere luv" he promises
"I know" the two remain silent the only sounds heard in the
bathroom are the sounds of Dawn's breathing, the splashing of the
water and the sound of Spike's lighter as he lights a cigerette.
After half an hour Dawn sighs "The waters getting cold."
Spike nods standing he grabs a towel helping Dawn stand he
lifts her out of the bathtub wrapping the fluffy towel around her.
"Thanks" she smiles
Spike takes her face between his hands the black polish of
his nails standing out against their skin. "Anything for you my
Dawn." he kisses her gently on the lips "C'mon luv you must be
gettin' cold" he leads her into the bedroom setting her on the bed he
goes to the dresser taking out a pair of pajamas. "Your favorite luv"
he smiles setting the pale blue flannels with yellow ducks on the
bed. "Lets get you into these" he swallows another growl of rage at
the sight of her bruised thighs. He looks at Dawn then kneels at her
feet he touches the bruise gently then leans down brushing his lips
against the mark. He helps Dawn into her pajamas "Do you want to get
some sleep luv? Or go watch the telly?"
"Sleep." she yawns "Stay?"
Spike nods "Alright" he helps her under the covers laying
down beside her "Get some rest" Spike kisses her
" 'kay" she yawns
Spike sits there listening as Dawn drifts off to sleep
