"Why did you turn Spike?" Willow asked Dru. She had just watched Dru turn Spike. It was weird seeing him mortal. He looked kind of dorky.
"So much pain," she said, remembering. She looked at Willow, "His heart was broken. It asked for someone, anyone to stop the pain. As a mortal he was nothing, but I knew as a vampire he would be magnificent. And he was until... her," she finished with a growl. Suddenly in the distance, they heard a howl.
"The Beast," Dru whispered. "We have to get away," she said, starting to get hysterical. Willow couldn't blame her, she had been living with that thing for over a century.
"Come on," Willow said dragging Dru from the alley. They turned the corner and suddenly they were in the hallway of a school and it was daytime. "Where are we?"
"This is his home," Dru replied. She looked around. "This is what he dreams about."
"Who?" Willow asked, looking around as well. She heard a voice behind her.
"Hey, Brandon. You okay?"
"Yeah, five by five."
Willow's head spun when she heard the words. She only knew one person who said that and that was not her voice. She turned around and saw him. She wasn't even sure how she knew it was him, but she knew.
"We're in his mind," Willow whispered to herself. She looked at Dru. "You can see his world," she said. "You have to help us get him back."
"No," Dru hissed. "He will destroy us all."
Willow stepped back with the realization. "You want to die, but you want to take the whole world with you," she whispered. Then after a moment, she yelled defiantly, "You can't do that."
"I'm a demon. I can do whatever I want," she fired back.
"But you'll kill everyone, including Spike," Willow yelled.
"Oh, I'm aware of that," she hissed bitterly.
"That's what this is about, isn't it? You're doing this, because Spike loves Buf..." Willow didn't get to finish her sentence, because she found herself against the wall with Drusilla's hand at her throat.
"Don't ever say that name," Dru growled at her. She had no idea whether she could really kill Willow here or not, but if she said that name again she would try. "You have no idea what we had. That bitch has no idea what we had. He was mine. He was always supposed to be mine."
She probably had more to say, but she was interrupted by the Beast crashing through the wall. It immediately pounced on Dru. The vampire and the Beast rolled around trying to tear each other apart. The Beast wasn't used to Drusilla fighting it so much and was losing to her. She finally pushed it off her. It backed away from her, acting more cautiously. It started to sniff and remembered Willow. It started to head towards the redhead.
"Get away from her," Dru screamed, tackling it. Dru attacked it even more savagely. The Beast didn't stand a chance. It managed to pushed her off it enough, so that it could escape. Dru watched it run away.
Willow didn't know what to think. Dru had saved her. "Thank you," she said weakly.
Drusilla looked at Willow. "Spike was always loyal to me," she said, looking down. "No matter what I did, no matter how much I hurt him, he was always there." Her bottom lip began to quiver. "That night he threatened to stake me. I can still feel it, here." She placed her index finger on one spot on her chest. "I can still feel the wood digging into my skin." She looked at Willow with eyes hardened by pain. "I may not have always showed it. I may not have always acted like it. But I loved him more than anything in the world. And he would have killed me without a second thought, for her. You have no idea what that feels like."
Willow looked at her with equally hardened eyes. "I may not know, exactly how that feels, because you two were together for over a century. But I know betrayal. When I found Oz with that bitch, the only thing I could think of was punishing him. I wanted to destroy his heart forever, but I couldn't. And he ended up leaving anyway, to go "find himself." I know how that feels. The pain of their betrayal eats away at you and you become angry with yourself because you still can't manage to hate them for it. You end up hating yourself for still loving them. Trust me, I know the feeling, but you can't destroy everything for them. You have to move on. If you do this then she wins. Veruca wins. Buffy wins." She paused before continuing. "Tell us where he is. Help us get him back. Don't let her win." She looked at Dru solemnly, hoping her plan worked.
Dru thought for awhile, before saying, "Alright."
Willow suddenly found herself back in the sewer looking a Dru still bound by her spell. She looked at her, wondering if Dru was still going to help. Dru looked at Willow and answered her unspoken question by nodding.
