little slayer: chapter 1
by loekie
Later: Malou is starting to get drunk now. Spike had just taken her wallet to see where she lived and taken her home. Because he couldn’t enter the door he rang the doorbell. A little 5 year old girl warily opened the door and she called something to someone in the living area of the small apartment. The girl looked up at Spike questionally and with a small voice she said: Malou? Is alles goed? (is everything alright?) Spike had spent some time in holland back in the day so he knew what she was staying and so he answers: she’s fine niblit (the little girl can’t help but giggle at that) can we come in?
little girl: (understanding English) ja hoor, kom binnen. (sure, come in).
Spike does so and a teenage girl comes to them.
Teen: I guess I can go home now?
Spike: right luv...

Spike: so little one, what's your name?
Josta: Josta en de jouwe? (and yours?)
Spike: my name is Spike
Josta: (very concerned) is Malou ziek? (is Malou ill?)
spike: no, she's just tired could you tell me where she sleeps?
Josta: (runs off) hier (here)
spike laid Malou on her bed, took of her shoes and pulled the blanket tight around her small body. then he turnsed to Josta and asks her where the kitchen is. Josta showed him and he fille up a glass with water and found some aspirin. He put these on Malous nightstand.
Josta watched al this form a safe distance.
Spike: Josta where are your parents?
Josta: (looks down) ze zijn weg en komen niet meer terug (they are gone and will never come back.
Spike walked over to the little girl, crouched down in front of her and lifted up her chin and looked at her now teary face.
Josta looked him in the eyes and the fear she had had for him when she first saw him at the door was gone. there was something in his eyes.
she wiped her eyes and looked at him.
Josta: wat is er met Malou? (what is wrong with Malou?)
Spike: nothing, don't worry she will be fine in the morning. Alright? Shouldn't you be in bed by now little bit?
Josta nods: ik ga al... kom jij nog eens een keer? (I’m going... will you come by again?
Spike: I think so, niblit.
Josta looked at him gratefully, walked over to the bed where Malou is sleeping and crawled in next to her sister, whom, in turn automatically put a protective arm around her.
Spike watched this for a while with a soft smile on his lips.

cut to: Buffy and Spike walking down the street.
Buffy: a new slayer huh?
Spike: guess so luv.
Buffy: alright... guess i should go meet her tomorrow.
Spike: you'll meet eventually. might as well get it over with.
Buffy: so... how uh... how's the soul thing going?
Spike: (avoiding her gaze, shrugs) alright, why pet?
Buffy: just wondering. why spike? why did you do it?
Spike: you know why! you! after what happened I just... I loved you Buffy. I loved you and then I hurt you. I just wanted to be someone you could be with... who wouldn't hurt you.
Buffy looked him in the eyes knowing this is true but not really knowing what she thought of it yet
Spike: is alright luv. don't say anything. you should go home get some rest.
Buffy: something's coming. I can feel it
spike: all the more reason to get some sleep while you can, aint it?
Buffy: (smiles) alright see you tomorrow then?
