Buffy punched the wall. Startled, Willow jumped. "Buffy, are you mad?" Willow asked innocently. Buffy let out a frustrated scream. "I've tried so hard!! Why did he have to come back into town?!?!!? We had a deal. I should of never trusted a vampire. He will not stop tormenting me!!! I should of killed him a long time ago. But I CAN'T!!! I can't kill him! I've tried soo hard to kill him but I can't!" Buffy let it all off her chest. She buried her face in her hands. Willow looked at her.
Poor Buffy. She's been under soo much stress. With Angel coming back from hell then leaving again. I should of never did that spell. If I hadn't maybe it wouldn't be so hard for her. Now Angel left Sunnydale. Spike and Drusilla have come back to Sunnydale and are trying everything in their power to kill her.
Willow suddenly had a thought. "Buffy, I have an idea!" Willow said. Buffy looked up at her.
"About what?" She asked. Willow smiled and was proud of herself for coming up with such a great idea.
"Well, Spike loves Dru, it's obvious. But, what if he didn't have Dru?" Willow asked.
"Willow, are you listening?!?!?! I have TRIED to kill Dru and Spike. I can't. Besides if I did kill Dru, Spike would probably get a rage of adrenaline and kill me!!" She said.
"NO, Spike would probably be too depressed to kill you, besides I don't think you should kill Drusilla. I think you should do something alot worse." Willow explained. Buffy looked at her.
"Willow? What are you thinking?" Buffy asked suspiciously. Willow smiled mischeviously. She looked Buffy straight in the eyes.
"I think we should give her a soul." Willow said in a devious tone.

Spike paced the floor thinking of another plan to kill the Slayer. He would stop, smile, then pace again as if he'd get an idea then reject it. Dru was playing with her dolls. She set up a tea set and sat a doll to each seat. She got up and noticed a doll missing. "Spike, Miss Edith. Where is Miss Edith?" She asked frantically. Spike became annoyed. "Will you shutup! I have better things to do than worry about your stupid plastic doll." Spike growled. Drusilla whimpered then started to shake frantically.
"I need to find Miss Edith! I have to find her! What if the slayers got her?!" Drusilla yelled as she trembled. Spike had had it with her. Ever since she brought Angelus back from hell and realized she had brought back ANGEL She's been a pain in his british butt. Drusilla stoped shaking her eyes widened.
"Miss Edith!" Drusilla yelled as she scooped the doll up in her arms and twirled happily. She then stopped. "Shhhhhh.....Miss Edith wants to tell me something Spike." She said as she held the doll up to her ear. Spike watched her. "She says your angry with me Spike. That you don't love me anymore. She says it's my fault because I let Angelus get between us." She said and started to cry. Spike suddenly felt his love for Dru come back to him. Who can blame her? Angel is her sire. She feels very controlled by him. I'm so cruel. I love my precious pet. Spike put his arms around Dru.
"Miss Edith is wrong. I do love you pet. I just want that slayer out of the way. I'm sorry." He said as he kissed Dru. Dru smiled. They kissed some more when suddenly Drusilla fell to the floor in pain.
"Dru? DRU! What's wrong?" Spike yelled. Dru closed her eyes then opened them.
"The slayer has an idea focused on me to split us up, Spike." She said. Spike scooped her up in his arms.
"Don't worry baby. I won't let the Slayer hurt you." He said in anger. "No Spike. She doesn't want to hurt me. She wants to help me."

"Okay, got everything?" Xander asked. Willow looked over all the list of things they needed for the soul restoring ritual.
"Look's like it." She answered. Giles rubbed his head. Giles didn't like the idea of giving Dru a soul. Cordelia walked in.
"We ready?" She asked. Willow, Buffy, and Xander all nodded their heads. They all got in a circle and Willow began chanting the latin words for the ritual.

"How about them?" Spike said pointing to a couple walking down the street. Dru looked.
"Yes. Them" She said with a smile. They walked over to the couple. "No small talk." Spike whispered to her. Spike ran up on the young man. They both fell to the floor. The girlfriend screamed "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH......Help me!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed. Drusilla fell to the floor moaning. Her eyes glowed with yellow. As the young woman saw this it terrified her even more. She grabbed a piece of wood and hit Spike over the head. He growled loudly. It was too late the man was already dead. Spike saw her and was suprised Drusilla hadn't killed her already. He grabbed the girl by the neck and was about to bite her when Drusilla yelled.
"SPIKE, NO!!" Spike stopped. He let go of the girl.
"What's wrong, pet?" He asked.
"Don't kill her." Drusilla said. Spike smiled.
"That's right, you got to eat too." He said. Dru forced a fake smile. She walked over to the crying girl. "RUN!" She whispered to the girl. The girl looked at Drusilla shocked that she hadn't killed her yet. Then she took off running as fast as she could. Spike stood astonished.
"What in bloody hell is wrong with you? You let your dinner get away!" He yelled. He grabbed Drusilla's arm. Dru jerked herself away from him and ran off as fast as she could. "DRU! DRU!!!!!!!!!!!" Spike yelled. She dissappeard.
