When Spike awoke, Dawn was still sleeping.
The doctor came in. “You must be Spike,” he said, as Spike carefully sat up.
“Yeah. I don’t like her and her sister being left alone,” Spike said,
“Well, that’s why I suggested I move in here,” Buffy said, as she was wheeled in to Dawns room. Her bed was put right next to Dawns.
“How are you feeling?” Spike asked.
“I’m okay. I’m better now that I’m with Dawn,” she said, reaching out to touch Spike’s cheek.
“Tell me what happened?” Spike asked, as the doctor left.
“Angelus… he kidnapped me and Dawn. I remember waking up… I was chained to the bed and I think Dawn was in the bed next to me. We…were blindfolded but he was doing something to her. She was crying and screaming in pain. I think she passed out after a couple hours.
“I sensed him coming over to me. I braced myself. He slammed in to me and went further than possible.” Tears flowed down her face. “I promised myself I wouldn’t scream, but he…he bit me. I lost so much blood.”
Buffy paused to collect herself. “He fed from me a lot, so I was delirious. When I woke from passing out, we were chained from the ceiling. He was doing something to her again. He was doing it for hours and she screamed herself hoarse. After a while he stopped, let me loose, but I couldn’t do anything but fall to the floor and he took Dawn,” she whimpered.
“He dumped her in an alley. I’ll kill him,” Spike said, looking at Dawn.
“Spike,” Buffy whispered
Spike climbed in bed with her and she curled up against him. “She looks bad,” she whimpered.
Then Angel came in the door. At inhuman speed, Spike had him up against the wall in the hall. “Don’t EVER come near my girls again or I’ll kill you,” he growled, softly.
“Get out of my way, boy,” Angel said. “I need to talk to Buffy.”
“You’re not going anywhere near them. Look at what you did to them. To Dawn. Do you know how old she is?” Spike growled, thrusting him up against the wall again.
“Angel, I don’t wanna see you right now,” Buffy said, from in the room.
“We have to talk,” Angel said.
“Not now. Later,” Buffy said.
Spike released Angel. “She doesn’t need you,” he said, going back into the room.
Dawn stirred and her eyes fluttered open. “Buffy?” She rasped.
“Dawn,” Buffy whispered, trying to get up.
Dawn tried to get up as well but she was in too much pain.
Spike went over to Dawn. “Nibblet, you okay?”:
“I wanna go home,” Dawn whimpered.
“I know you do, but I don’t think the doctor’s gunna let you.”
“Nice to see you’re both awake,” the doctor said as he came in.
“Doctor, we wanna go home,” Buffy said.
“Dawn needs to get more rest before we can release her,” the doctor said.
“I will, and I’ll be better at rest at home,” Dawn said.
“Well, I guess you’re right. I’ll get the paperwork ready,” the doctor said.
An hour later, Spike carried Dawn into the house. “It feels good to be home,” she said, softly.
“Well, you’re going up to bed,” Spike said, taking her upstairs.
“Spike,” she whimpered, when he laid her in bed. “I don’t wanna be left alone. “He might come back.”
Spike toed off his boots and draped his coat over Dawn. “He won’t hurt you, I swear,” he said, laying next to her. He curled up around her and soon they were both asleep.
Buffy managed to get her friends to leave, and she carefully maneuvered her self upstairs. She stopped at Dawn’s room and peeked in the doorway, which was left open. She smiled when she saw them asleep on the bed. She silently made her way over and kissed Dawn’s forehead and looked down at Spike. She smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his lips before going to her room to get some sleep.
