Judith walked down a dark alley, she had some time to kill until she'd have to check on the Commissioner to see what was going on with Drusilla. Judith heard a footstep as she walked. "Who's there?" Judith asked. "Just a friend" answered a voice. A tall man with white blond hair came out of the shadows. "Spike?" Judith answered startled. (play along, he could be one too) "How are you tonight?" Judith asked. "I'm just fine....(it's time to make Dru happy...for once) so, the weathers real nice tonight. You know, I've been wondering what a pretty young brunette like yourself does during the night" Spike replied. (Is he flirting with me?) "Nothing much, roam the streets, watch the people..." Judith was stopped short by Spike, "kill vampires" Spike continued. "What do you mean?" Judith asked. "I mean, you're a bloody slayer.....Hmm...I don't really like slayers, they get in the way." said Spike. "No, vampires get in the way" Judith said. "Really?" Spike asked. Spike turned to face her and before she could speak he backhanded her face. She fell to the ground but jumped up quickly. "You know, I've only killed one slayer...she begged for her life, will you beg for yours?" Spike asked. "No, I won't...but will Drusilla?" Judith asked. "What are you talking about? What about Ducks?" Spike asked confused. "Hmm..let's see, right about now she's getting tortured and with time there'll be nothing left but dust" replied Judith. Judith noticed as a look of shock came over Spike's face. (this is my chance) Judith kicked Spike hard in the shin. He collapsed to the floor. She continued to hit him. She went to punch him but he lifted up his hand and caught her arm in motion. Spike rose, "Slayer..."Spike sang. "You shouldn't have done that..."Spike said. Spike pulled her arm over her back and pulled her closer. He moved her long curly hair to the side. "Looks like you go out the hard way" Spike said. He sank his teeth into her curved neck. She screamed in pain as the lights turned dark. Judith fell to the ground. "I have to get to Dru" Spike said. Spike ran out of the alley , off into the feast.
Commissioner De Marque led Drusilla to a post, just around the corner from the feast. Drusilla noticed as more and more people began to walk over. (What is going on?) "Commissioner what is this all about?" Dru asked. "It's about you , my dear. You creature. It's about the families you've killed, the lives you've taken, it's about revenge. " he responded. There were now over a hundred people standing around. (this was a trap) "What are you going to do to me?" she asked innocently. "Jean, hand me the ropes" General Blanche called out. A short stumpy man walked over with a bunch of ropes. "Stand still demon" said Commissioner De Marque. Dru had no choice but to oblige, there were too many of them. (Oh my dear daisies, where is Spike?) They tied her to the post. She didn't fight them because it was a waste of time. A small car came to a stop by the post. A young man unloaded a bunch of rocks. The people began to throw the rocks at Drusilla. She cried out in pain, each rock was sharp and heavy. "Die demon" they chanted. Blood began to drip from her nose, she felt sharp pains all over. A man approached her and hit her with his fist...she felt the sting in her lips. "Spike...Spike" she cried out. She wasn't sure if he was going to come, she was scared and in pain... this could be her last night.Spike heard the shouting a block away..."Die Demon" they chanted. He ran faster and faster. He came towards the post. Drusilla lied there, blood dripping from her nose and her lips. There were bruises all over her body. Without thinking he ran towards her. "He's one too, get him" one shouted from the crowd. As he approached them , he was hit with rocks and fists, but he fought each and every one of them off. He reached the post. He untied her hands and feet. "Come on Dru, we have to get out of here" Spike said to Drusilla. "I can't move, I can't feel anything. Spike, It hurts." Dru cried. Spike picked her up into her arms and ran like he had never ran before. The people chased after them but as they hit each block, more and more gave up, finally there was no one left. "I got you, luv. I'm so sorry I was mean to you before. You know you're my princess, right?" Spike said. He kissed her forehead, he tasted salty blood . Usually he'd like the taste, but not now, not like this. "I know Spike, you're my sweet." Dru said. She smiled. "Spike, I'm so cold, everything hurts" Drusilla said. "I've got you, don't worry my pet, it's going be alright Spike replied. Spike noticed a small cottage on the left. He walked towards it and opened the door. "Looks like no one's home " Spike said.He laid her down on the bed. She moaned and cried. "Dru?" Spike asked. She didn't reply. "Dru? Dru?" he asked again. Once again , she did not reply. He shook her violently. (you're not leaving me baby, not yet) She wouldn't wake up. (Is.....is she dead) Spike let out a piercing cry as he cradled Drusilla in his arms.
