Buffy had stated very clearly that she wasn't going to help Aurora and Drusilla. They didn't listen to her. When Spike had tried to help Buffy convince them that she wasn't going to kill anyone Drusilla poured holy water on him. So he sat quietly knowing how good Drusilla was at torture. But it didn't stop Buffy. She kept right on yelling. "I am not going to kill the slayers! Unlike you I didn't forget who I was when I died!"
"I didn't forget who I was. It just took dying to figure out what I was." Aurora snapped right back.
*Stubbornness must be a trait of the slayer.* Spike thought as he watched the two of them banter.
"It took you dying to figure out that you were evil? You know there's a slayer in jail in LA. She's just your type. Maybe you should give her a call." Buffy tried to pull the bars of her cage open once again.
"I'm NOT evil!!" Aurora was becoming defensive.
"No, not you. You're just trying to kill innocent people." Said Buffy.
"Slayers aren't innocent people. We're different Buffy. Why do you think that I'm not like other vampires? Do you even know what being a slayer means."
"I think I've gotten the idea. Fight evil blah, blah, blah."
"Pretty girls and dirty blood. By men in white coats with dreadful accents." Drusilla said as she began laughing again.
"What are you saying Dru?" Spike asked wondering what it was she knew.
"You can hurt her. Science doesn't stop it anymore. When they rise." Drusilla walked towards Buffy. "You came back wrong." How Spike wished Dru hadn't have used those words. He looked at Buffy. Tried to comfort her with his eyes.
"There is *nothing* wrong with me." Buffy stated.
"Then why don't you know who you are? Such a pretty girl, but the blood is wrong." Drusilla turned away from Buffy.
"And you do? You know who I am. Then tell me. Who am I?" Buffy's screams rang through the old abandoned church.
"Buffy don't listen to them, luv. They don't know anything." Spike said trying to get Buffy to calm down.
"No. They have something to say. I want to hear it. WHO AM I?"
"You're the slayer." Aurora said. "The perfect human demon hybrid. Except for now that you've come back you're not as human as you were before."
Spikes heart sank for Buffy. The only thing
she ever wanted to be was normal. She even wanted that before she died.
But she wasn't. It was unfair. She deserved to have a life. She deserved
to be just the pretty girl, without the job, without the death, without
the powers. She deserved so much more, but that wasn't who she was.
