Pairing: Angelus/Dawn/evil!Spike
Rating: NC-17
Summary: When Angelus and Spike come to Sunnydale to kill the slayer, they find more interesting prey.
Warnings: um, lots. not all of which I'm willing to specify. for starters, these guys are evil and soulless, and will behave as such the whole way through. even after they're soft on Dawn, they do some pretty unconscienable things to her. elements of non-con. and Dawn is 17, so where I live that's legal but *shrugs*. very politically incorrect in places, but if it comforts you, it's more of a demon/human thing than a male/female thing ;)
Disclaimer: not mine, but ain't they pretty?
A/N: how is this fic AU? Angelus never got a soul, so the boys were never separated. Darla and Dru wandered off at some point, possibly in 1894 when the Immortal was such a hot stud ;) Dawn is only 3 years younger than Buffy, so she's 17 in this fic.

part 4
Dawn awoke feeling cotton-mouthed and groggy. Her head hurt. Her everything hurt. She was disoriented. She’d had a date with Spike last night and…shouldn’t she be at school?
She bolted upright in a king-sized bed that was most definitely not hers. The room was dark and large. Not hers. God—they’d kidnapped her. Spike…was a vampire. How had she missed that? Stupid, stupid, stupid. He looked like some reject from the 80s, she totally should have known. A really hot reject, but not somebody that had updated his look anytime in the last decade, for sure. He didn’t just have bad circulation in his hands—he had no circulation in his hands.
He liked throats. God Dawn, wake up and clear the hormones out of your ears.
She wondered if they knew about Buffy, or if it was a coincidence. At least she had woken up wearing her clothing, so they hadn’t…. But then again, it’s not as though she hadn’t thrown herself at Spike every night that week.
Ok, think. Dawn unplugged the lamp that was next to the bed. It was pretty weighty, not that that would do anything to a vampire, but they didn’t exactly leave stakes lying around and it was better than nothing.
It seemed like she was in a master suite. Big bedroom, big bed up on a platform. Sitting area, fireplace. Lots of books. It was pretty swank actually. No dirty basement nest for these guys. Buffy had never talked about vampires living like this. There was an attached bathroom bigger than her room at home.
Home. Her mom must be worried sick. Buffy would be looking….
Dawn just had to stay alive until then. Because Buffy wouldn’t stop until she found her. Dawn was positive of that.
The door to the bedroom had to be locked, but it didn’t hurt to try. Dawn was surprised when the knob turned freely in her hand. She cracked the door, holding her breath, scared of alerting anyone to her presence. She was about to peek into the hallway when a hand slapped the door shut.
From the inside.
She shrieked and dropped the lamp. A big foot kicked it aside before she could reclaim it.
“I don’t think it’s all that gracious to run off without thanking your host, do you?”
There was no way she was getting out that door now. How had she not noticed him in the room?
Dawn took a step back, and Angelus slid more fully between her and the door. Shit. He didn’t even look pissed, just…dangerous. She backed up some more on instinct, and he took a step forward. She mentally reviewed the room. Nowhere to go. She could lock herself in the bathroom, but he could easily get through the door.
“C’mon now, don’t be that way. I could have killed you in your sleep, but I didn’t. How did you sleep, by the way?”
She goggled at him, open-mouthed. Angelus smiled at her benignly, hands casually in his pockets, but it didn’t make him look less like a killer.
A monster. Because that’s what he was. God, she was stupid. Little Dawnie Summers does it again.
“Like someone who’d been thrown out of a car and then smothered.”
He held his palms up in a gesture of surrender. “Hey, don’t look at me. That was all you, baby. Not exactly my style.”
She remembered his teeth on her throat and shivered.
Dawn looked at the door. “So uh…where’s Spike?” She was pissed that she’d been deceived by him, but…lesser of two evils. She’d feel a whole lot better if he was here right now. Preferably, standing between her and Angelus.
Angelus glanced over his shoulder, smirking. “He’s busy. A little tied up. And he wanted to give me some time to get to know our new roomie.”
“I don’t remember signing a lease.” She ignored the quaver in her own voice.
He laughed. “Don’t worry, we didn’t either. Mortgage is all paid up. Probably. Either way, not going to ruin my credit.”
Dawn didn’t trust the laid-back, mirthful quality of his voice. “What do you want with me?”
He gave her a big smile then, face lit with straight white teeth, and she realized that he was actually pretty handsome. Her stomach rolled nervously. “C’mon, Dawnie. You’re a smart girl. Spike won’t shut up about how clever you are. I’m sure you can figure it out. Young and pretty. …Good genes.”
Dawn studied his faintly amused face intently. He was talking about sex, obviously, but did he mean Buffy? Good genes. They stared at one another for a long moment, frozen at an impasse. She almost asked, but if they didn’t know…. If they didn’t know who her sister was, it was better that they never found out.
“Yeah, well. I’m not interested.”
He smirked. “Ladies don’t lie, Dawn.” His eyes strayed to the ceiling as he sucked his teeth. “Course, ladies also don’t let old dead guys eat them out in public, so I guess we can’t really put you in that category any more.”
When he reached out to touch her face, Dawn jerked away. Irritated, he grabbed for her and she dodged, and he moved to box her into the corner by the bed. In a fit of inspiration, she yanked the cord for the drapes, and they flew open—natural light flooding the room.
Angelus recoiled onto the other side of the wide swath of sunshine. She could see his jaw clenching in the new light.
“Close them.”
“Hell no.”
“Waiting you out will only make me angry, Dawn. You won’t like that.”
She was shaking, but she was safe in her little corner. The door to the bathroom lay in the sunbeam. The door to the outside world lay in his territory.
She was safe for now, but she’d only bought herself time. A handful of hours till sunset. She thought it was still early afternoon.
He relaxed suddenly, and she thought it was strange how that actually made him look more intimidating. As if he knew exactly what he was going to do to her, and he’d have plenty of time to work out the details.
“Fine. Suit yourself. I’ll see you tonight.”
The door clicked and locked behind him, but Dawn stayed huddled in the corner.
Just in case.
maybe that wasn't so bright, Dawn...

Date: 2007-03-26 05:47 pm (UTC)This was a wonderfully vivid paragraph: "He relaxed suddenly, and she thought it was strange how that actually made him look more intimidating. As if he knew exactly what he was going to do to her, and he’d have plenty of time to work out the details." I can feel the threat and menace Dawn's facing, and leaving her huddled in a corner drove that home nicely.

haha, I'm glad it didn't just come off as me taking the easy way around the plot *shifty eyes* but yeah, we're all stupid over lust once or twice, right? some of us more than others :)
no, no it's not. but at least she has the slayer ace in hre hole...not that it'll do her much good if she pisses him off before Buffy finds her ;)
And she's such a clever girl, Spike really is the lesser of two evils.
it would appear so. *cough* ;)

Date: 2007-03-27 01:28 am (UTC)yes, it was rather predictable. I'm glad you like where I'm going with this.
So Spike is tied up...literally, I wonder? What did he do? :)
of course literally. and...does there need to be a reason? :D

Date: 2007-03-26 09:05 pm (UTC)Lol, i loved how Dawn makes these connections now: He looked like some reject from the 80s, she totally should have known. and He didn’t just have bad circulation in his hands—he had no circulation in his hands. and how now Spike has bad fashion. lol
“He’s busy. A little tied up. And he wanted to give me some time to get to know our new roomie.” hee! i'll bet he's just a little tied up! *g* this was so unbelievably kick ass. but now you're incredibly mean, because i am dying to find out what happens next! ack!

and how now Spike has bad fashion. lol
hahahha. well, the boyfriend always looks stupider and more poorly dressed after the first fight. lmfao.
lol, little does Dawn know that that is literal. I'm glad I've got you all, uh...titillated ;)
thanks for the fb and the congrats *hugs*

Date: 2007-03-27 12:20 am (UTC)Poor Dawnie, she must be terrified. I like how she now thought through the things that she had learnt about spike, that should have at the very least suggested vampire.
I really hope that made even a small bit of sense, it’s late and I’m really tired but I wanted to leave a review in case I forgot tomorrow.
I should probably have stuck with something simple like, Great Chap!

Date: 2007-03-27 01:34 am (UTC)it did make sense :) she was a little slow on the uptake due to hormones, and now she's kicking herself, for sure.

Date: 2007-03-27 02:25 am (UTC)I have to agree that your Dawn voice is well done and conveys the severity of her situation in a way not that being captured by Angelus and Spike would really be so bad. Well, maybe, if there were actually chainsaws involved. That wouldn't be so good, I suppose, now would it?
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 09:46 pm (UTC)I'm glad my Dawn voice works and is effective in striking the right balance. and uh...chainsaws would not be good. ha!

Date: 2007-03-27 04:07 am (UTC)My only thing was... if she was standing near a window-- why didn't she jump out of it/climb down?

*cough* yeah, I explain that option away later. ;)
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 04:58 am (UTC)And Spike tied up? Please please tell us more about that. Spike being tied up is always very stimulating, especially if Angelus is the one doing the tying. And I bet Angelus will be taking out his frustrations on poor tied up Spike, in more ways than one...
no subject
Date: 2007-03-27 09:51 pm (UTC)We all know she'll lose because well it's just no fun if she wins.
damn straight. bwahahaha.
yes'm, I imagine Spike is taking the brunt of Angelus' fury...and that he doesn't mind one bit *cough*

Date: 2007-03-27 07:24 am (UTC)This chapter, I laughed out loud at this: God Dawn, wake up and clear the hormones out of your ears. Funny!
And of course I loved Spike being a little tied up. One of the best ways for him to be! *g*
And I really love Angelus being pure evil. Most of the times, it's like, 'yeah, he's evil, but he is sooo hot'. Now he's just.. evil. I love it!

Date: 2007-04-22 05:45 pm (UTC)I think I was avoiding this story because it makes me feel guilty about not reading and writing more Spuffy. See my problem with Spuffy has become that Buffy is so young. I feel like I want more mature heroines. Not because of an age squick, just because I'm bored with the young love thing.
But this is so my kink, and everytime I see the lovely picture for it, I just want to click. Which is all a very long way of saying, I'm really enjoying it so far :)
no subject
Date: 2007-04-22 07:37 pm (UTC)I often write Dawn as a teenager, but that's for obvious reasons...she was a teenager in canon. I don't think she's very childish at all in this fic, beyond this being her first experience with sex and love, so hopefully it won't be a problem for you. I mainly needed her to be underage (and therefore legally bound to her family) for aspects of this fic to work.
I'm glad you enjoy the evil!kink (gah, I love it too!) and are enjoying the fic so far. that fic pic is great, isn't it?
