"Giles? Where's Buffy? I haven't seen her or Willow for about an hour"

Dawn walked over to Giles, holding 2 cups of coke and handing one to Spike who was eating his way through the buffet as though he'd never tasted food. At the mention of Buffy's name he tilted his head slightly, listening to the conversation.

"They took Erin back to your house, she. wasn't feeling too good, didn't look it either"

"I was wondering where she went! I wanted to introduce her to Spike, but she just kinda left"

He walked away from the buffet, intrigued. He'd remembered seeing a Dark haired girl with Dawn and she'd looked familiar, the name sounded familiar too.

"Who's Erin?"

Both Dawn and Giles turned to look at Spike as he joined them. Giles couldn't help but swear under his breath. That was all he needed! Spike wanting to know more, he couldn't even tell Buffy that much because of her reaction, but Spike's reaction was likely to be a lot worse.

"Someone Giles brought with him from England. She's nice. Got dark hair to about here."

She gestured with her hands.

"And a really weird but kinda cool accent!"

"The watcher's got a girlfriend?"

Spike couldn't help but wind the older guy up, it was expected of him! What wasn't expecting though was Giles' reaction. He walked forward, eyes hard and stood in front of Spike holding on to his Jacket.

"She's not my girlfriend. She's someone that I look after, and if I were you I'd keep away from her. I don't want you anywhere near her!"

Dawn watched the two men as though someone had just made her swallow an anvil and it was weighting down her insides.

"Bloody hell watcher! What's your problem? I only wanted to know about the girl! She's the Bit's friend after all!"

Spike jostled himself away from Giles' grip, frowning and straightening his Duster. Dawn looked at Giles confused and upset.

"What's going on!"

Sighing Giles took off his glasses and cleaned them against his jumper. He was going to have to tell them all, starting with Spike and Buffy. the two people it would affect the most.

"Dawn. I want everyone back at your house by 11pm ok? I have something to tell you all"

As Dawn turned to go find Anya and Xander, Giles turned back to Spike. The blonde vampire was looking at him eyes wary.

"Spike. I want you to come, what I'm going to say involves you quite a bit"

Spike looked at the Watcher, his eyes weighing him up. At last he nodded, turning on his heel he walked out the Bronze and headed for the Summers' house.

Christmas - England 1900

Spike watched the girl run down the stairs. She was wearing a red dress that made her hair look even darker than normal. She ran over to Dru who was plaiting her doll's hair, and poked the parcels under the Bare branched Christmas tree.

"William? Can I open one now. Pleeeease?"

He took a step closer and smiled slightly at her excitement, it was always the same, she got so excited!

"Sorry Niblet. Not 'till Angelus gets back. He'll get angry, remember last year?"

The girl's face twisted in to a grimace and she put down the parcel she was holding. Dru reached out and stroked the girl's hair.

"Don't fret my lovely. Daddy will be home soon"

Willow ran in to the living room, hearing Erin scream. She saw the young Irish girl sitting up, eyes streaming and breathing fast. She ran over to comfort the girl, putting her arm around her and looking up at Buffy as the petite slayer ran in to the room.

"Buffy. I think we need Giles. there's nothing we can do without knowing more!"

"I agree Will. I'll go get him"

She looked at Erin's scared and shaking form.

"Look after her."

Taking her coat from it's peg by the door she walked out the house and headed for the Bronze.
