We're Okay Now: 1
by Spikes Queen
Buffy stumbled to Spike’s, knowing it wouldn’t be long before Riley caught up with her.

She pushed the door open and stumbled through. A sense of safety washed over her as she closed the door. “Spike!”

Spike came up from the lower level. “Oh my god,” he said, running over to catch her as she almost collapsed. “Buffy?”

Buffy slid her arms around his neck to hold her self up. “Help me, Spike,” she whispered.

Spike scooped her up and carried her downstairs. Gently he laid her on his bed and grabbed a first aid kit. “What happened?” He asked, carefully taking her shirt off.

“Riley,” Buffy whispered, closing her eyes.

“He did this to you?” Spike asked, angrily.

Buffy nodded. “He’s probably on his way here,” she whimpered.

Spike stood up. “He wont find you,” he said, blowing out all the lights so it was pitch black.

“Spike?” Buffy whimpered.

“We’ll be able to hide easier,” Spike said, resuming his task. “Just trust me for once.”

Buffy relaxed against his bed and sighed. “Spike, he attacked me in my bedroom. Dawn came in and I told her to run. I don’t know what happened to her though,” she whispered.

There was a noise from behind the sewer door and Spike took a fighting stance. The door opened and Dawn’s frightened voice came through the crypt. “Spike?”

“Nibblet,” Spike said, hugging her.

Dawn hissed. “Spike, let go,” she said, pushing him away.

“What happened?” Spike asked.

“Riley pushed me down a couple of steps. I gotta go to the hospital and why is it so dark?” She asked.

The door opened in the upper level. “Buffy!” Riley called.

Spike placed a finger over Dawn’s lips and scooped Buffy up. He closed the door to the sewer very quietly and led his two girls to the hospital.

He pushed the manhole cover up and helped his girls out.

“Spike,” Buffy whispered. “I cant. It hurts.”

Spike scooped her up. “Don’t worry,” he said, pulling her close to his body. He walked through the doors of the hospital. “We need help,” he yelled.

A nurse came forward with a stretcher. “What happened?”

“Her ex attacked her and her sister,” Spike said, gently laying Buffy on the stretcher.

“We’ll get them checked out,” she said, wheeling Buffy toward a pair of doors as another doctor came forward for Dawn.

“Spike!” Buffy screamed.

Spike rushed to her side. “It’s okay. I’m going with Dawn and make sure she’s okay,” he said, stroking her hair.

Buffy seemed to calm down and nodded. “Just come find me when she’s okay,” she said, and was wheeled away.

Spike began to follow Dawn but the doctor wouldn’t let him. “You need to wait out here,” he said.

Dawn panicked. “No. Please, let him come with me. He wont be in the way,” she
whimpered.

The doctor sighed. “Fine but let us take care of her,” he said, as they went toward the exam room.

Spike helped Dawn on an exam table and stood near her head. “You okay?” He asked, finally getting a good look at her.

“I think he broke my arm and a few ribs. I can feel a large bruise on my eye,” she said, softly.

The doctor did standard stuff. “What’s your name?” He asked, her.

“Dawn Summers,” Dawn answered.

“I’m Ryan. If you lay down, you’ll be more comfortable, especially if your ribs are broken,” he said.

Spike gently eased Dawn on to her back. “Better?”

Dawn smiled a little bit. “Definitely broken ribs,” she said.

“Can you tell me what happened?” Ryan asked.

“His names Riley Finn. He used to date my sister but he’s been gone for almost two years. I was in bed and I heard my sister scream. I ran to check on her and she told me to run. Riley chased me and pushed me down 5 stairs. I was able to get back up but he hit me. My sister came downstairs and threw him away from me. I ran out of the house and came to Spike’s place. He’s names really William but we call him Spike,” Dawn said.

Ryan smiled. “We’ll get the police in her but I’m going to get a doctor who’s a woman to make you feel more comfortable,” he said, standing.

“Can you find out what room Buffy Summers in is?” Dawn asked.

“Yes,” Ryan said, leaving the room.

Dawn looked up at Spike. “Spike?”

Spike kissed her forehead. “I’m fine,” he said.

“Spike,” Dawn whispered. “He was raping Buffy.”

“I’ll take care of everything,” he said, as Ryan came in.

“Dawn, this is Laura. She’s gunna take care of you,” he said.

Dawn looked at Spike. “Go see if Buffy’s okay,” she said.

Spike kissed her forehead and followed Ryan to Buffy’s room.
