"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why would I have to kill Spike to kill you?" Buffy stood looking into Spikes eyes. He knew she wouldn't kill him, but he could also tell that she was mad at herself because she couldn't. It felt like she wanted him around, but felt ashamed that she did. That she knew that she should kill him.
"He's my life line now. He brought me back." Aurora stated as she tightened the grip she had around Spikes neck.
"So you're telling me that the only way to kill you is to kill him. You're immortal unless he dies." Buffy said.
"No one's immortal, but you can't kill us. You and I are different."
"Would you stop comparing us? I'm not like you!" Buffy screamed as she ran towards Aurora. Buffy grabbed Aurora and threw her across the room.
"Thanks Slayer." Spike said as he was released. Buffy didn't say anything she just kept on concentrating on Aurora.
"You are like me! You were brought back. Vampire or not we're the same." Aurora said between Buffy's punches.
"No." was all Buffy said.
"Yes we are. We're both the slayer. When we were brought back it became more powerful. The slayer overpowers the vampire in me and it overpowers the human in you. It's not something that you can change. It's who we are. And it's going to be who we are until we die." Aurora managed to get up off the ground as she spoke.
"And the only way you die is if Spike dies." Buffy said.
"Yes and the only way for you to die is if Willow dies." Aurora said rather quickly as if she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get it out before Buffy hit her again.
"Come on Buffy. Lets just
go." Spike said as he tried to pull her towards the door.
"No. We're not going to leave.
They are." Spike could tell by Buffy's tone that she meant it.
"And why would we leave?" Aurora asked.
"Because I may not be able to kill you, but hey if what you're saying is true you can't kill me either. And I just happen to be friends with some very powerful witches and a thousand year old vengeance demon. So you take your pick."
"It's all wrong. Wrong." Dursilla said as she took Aurora's arm and led her towards the back of the church.
"This isn't over." Aurora screamed as they left.
When Dru and Aurora were finally out of sight Spike congratulated Buffy. "Well Done."
"I guess, but I don't think that they're gone. It was too easy." Buffy said as she picked up some of her stuff.
"Maybe not, but they're gone for now. Maybe we should celebrate. Go back to my place." Spike said as he moved closer to her.
"I'm really not in the mood.
I just want to be alone." Buffy said as she walked out. Spike stood there.
Watching her leave.
