"Spike, lets lock her up for now."
Al pulled out a needle.
"Hey mate, what's that?"
"Medicine. It'll take the slayers strength away and her special abilities."
"Spike what's going on?"
" Dru you should be in bed."
"I told your minions to get Drusilla. I knew she'd want to know what we're planning."
"Ms. Edith says you going to kill the slayer."
"That's correct my dear, and we're going to end the world at the same time." Al explained happily.
"Oh Spike, isn't this wonderful?"
Suddenly, Drusilla had a vision.
"What do you see?" Spike asked.
"Someone's coming! They're going try and stop you! Daddy is coming!"
"Bloody Hell! All we need is that poof foiling our plans!"
"Don't worry; I'll take care of Angelus." Al calmly stated.
"What are you going to do to daddy?" Drusilla asked looking at Al.
"Why kill him, of course. Now, let's get the slayer locked up. Then I'll tell you both about the ritual."
Meanwhile back at the library everyone was becoming very worried about Buffy. Willow kept bugging Giles every five minutes about what could have possibly happened.
"Giles, she should have been back by now. What if something's happened?"
"Willow, I'm sure Buffy is alright."
Ms. Calendar was going through her books, found some startling information and exclaimed, "I wouldn't be so sure about that Rupert. This book has a ritual in it to open the Hellmouth using the slayers blood."
Giles replied, "Jenny I've never heard of this ritual."
Jenny continued, "It says it can only happen once every fifty years."
"Angel! We have to get Angel!" Giles said, suddenly knowing what they had to do.
"Oh no, not Dead Boy." Xander said.
Willow didn't feel like listening to Xander's jokes and shouted, "Xander this is serious! Buffy's in danger!"
"Yes, Willow is right. Xander, go find Angel." Giles instructed.
"Alright, but I'm only doing this for Buffy." Xander said as he was walking out of the library.
Giles asked Jenny more about the ritual, "What else does it say?"
"The ritual takes place tomorrow at midnight."
"So we make sure to keep Buffy safe until after that time." Giles said.
Xander ran as fast as he could, he wasn't going to let Buffy get hurt. When he arrived at Angel's apartment he was greeted by a bunch of vamps attacking Angel. "Oh why me?" Xander thought. Amazingly, Angel had dusted most of the vamps. After helping Angel, he told him about Buffy as they ran back to the library.
Back at the factory, Buffy was starting to wake up. As she opened her eyes, she couldn't believe what she saw. She was in a cage and Spike was standing there watching her.
"How do you feel, luv?"
"Spike, I am so going to kill you when I get out of here!" Buffy said, angrily.
"Oh I doubt that pet you see all of your strength is gone." Spike replied with a snarky smile coming to his lips.
"What are you talking about?" Buffy asked starting panic but now wanting to show it in front of Spike.
"Look, I'll tell you later. We don't have much time. Big Al will be back from hunting soon, and we have to get you out of here!"
"You're going to let me go?" Buffy asked incredulously.
"Yes now, come on." Spike said, prying open the cage doors. Buffy was dumbfounded.
Just then Al walked in. "Why Spike, just what do you think you're doing?"
Buffy tried to hit Al, but Spike hit him first.
"Come on slayer!" Spike yelled.
"Well, what you waiting for? Get them!" Al screamed and the minions started chasing Buffy and Spike.
Once outside, they got in Spike's Desoto and drove away.
Buffy was very confused. Her mortal enemy had just helped her escape.
"Spike what are you doing?" She asked with wide eyes.
"What does it look like slayer? I'm trying to get us as far away from Al and his new minions. They're going to try to kill us."
"Yeah because you helped me escape."
"Right, unfortunately Al caught me and now he wants both of us dead."
"Why did you help me? I mean, you've been trying to kill me since you came to Sunnydale."
"Big Al is trying to end the world. I like this world. He was going to use your blood to open the Hellmouth and bring Hell on Earth. I don't ever want to go to Hell, I fight everyday not to, so why would I want to help Al." Spike calmly explained to a very suspicious slayer.
"So, we're actually are on the same side for once? Buffy stated as she furrowed her brow in confusion. Where are we going?"
"As far away from here as possible."
"But my mom and friends!"
"Don't worry pet, you can let them know you are alright as soon as we get where we're going." Spike said smiling.
"Why should I trust you Spike? You want me dead and how do I know that you aren't just going to kill me." Buffy said pushing out her bottom lip.
"Bloody Hell, I did just save your life!"
"How do I know that this isn't just a trap?" she accused.
"Because I need your help to defeat Al." He's taken over my territory and I can't get it back alone."
Spike, you're my enemy. Why would I help you get back Sunnydale?"
"I won't end the world." Spike said chuckling.
"But you and your minions will kill any innocent people."
Well yeah, I am a vampire; that's what we do!"
"Well Al can't end the world without me, so I'll just stay hidden until I can fight again, but I'm not helping you!" Buffy retorted.
"Where are you going to go luv? I'm driving." Spike pointed out.
"What are you going to do? Jump out of the car? Face it Slayer, you don't have a choice; I'm in control!" He had the slayer at his mercy and it couldn't make him happier.
Buffy didn't want to admit it, but Spike was right. She was backed in a corner she had trust him.
"Look luv, as soon as you get your strength back, we can go back to Sunnyhell and kill Big Al and things can go back to normal."
"You mean we go back to trying to kill each other?"
"Yeah exactly."
"So, you're going to help me fight a knight?"
"Well, I do know how to use a sword. So slayer do we have a deal?"
"Yeah we have a deal. I just hope I don't regret it." Buffy said with worry.
"Hey, I saved your bloody life back there and you haven't even said thank you."
"Oh my life sucks! Fine thank you for saving my life Spike."
"Was that so hard?" Spike asked.
Buffy smiled and hit Spike in the nose said, "Yes."
"Ow, Slayer, that hurt. I'm trying to drive; you want to get us killed?"
Buffy giggled, "You're already dead."
"Yeah, well, getting into a car accident won't help anything."
"Spike, it looks like maybe I'm at least getting part of my strength back "she announced happily.
"You think this is funny, just because you can hit me? Doesn't mean anything, and by the way you hit like a girl."
At that remark Buffy stuck out her tongue.
"Well, let's just hope we can get through this without killing each other pet." Spike said, as he drove through the night.
Al pulled out a needle.
"Hey mate, what's that?"
"Medicine. It'll take the slayers strength away and her special abilities."
"Spike what's going on?"
" Dru you should be in bed."
