'One Motive'
Spike throws himself at the door, and the wood bends inward. His voice is desperate and he can smell the Slayer's fear and anger and Angelus' arousal. He growls, his vampire eyes flashing yellow.
One more lunge, the door crashes in and he follows.
Buffy lies on the bed, her shirt torn open, Angelus positioned over her, and Spike runs towards them, knocking him off of her and sending the older vampire into the wall so hard that the plaster chips and he's covered in dried flakes of paint when he sends Spike flying.
He advances on the younger vampire who eyes Angelus warily. Spike swiftly side steps Angelus' punch and the older vampire is propelled by his momentum to the dirty floor. He plants a firm kick in Angelus' side, again and again until the older vampire is cowering on the floor, curled in a fetal position. Spike raises his foot for another kick and Angelus' hand shoots out and grabs it, sending Spike sprawling to the floor and now it's Angelus' turn to rip into Spike, and he does so not only with his fists but his words.
His jeers bounce of the walls of the room and he's telling Spike how pathetic he is, how Buffy doesn't really love him, how he's a substitute for her like he was for Drusilla, how wet she was when he took her on her birthday, how she feels when she comes -
And then he's flying across the room and Buffy is standing over him with the leg of a table.
She hits him again and again and she doesn't even realize that she's crying tears of anger. She's shouting things at him and they don't make sense but the message and the depth of anger and desperation are clear in her voice. Angelus' pulls himself up against the wall and still she swings at him.
There's the sickening sound of bones popping and flesh tearing and Spike makes no move to stop her. The Scoobies are standing in the doorway now and they watch her with shocked faces, but they don't say anything either.
Xander flinches every time the wood hits the vampire's skin.
Finally, she plunges the stake through him and he falls to dust.
The wood slips from her numb and bloodied fingers and she still cries, her feet stamping on his ashes as she rubs them into the floor, breaking them into finer and finer pieces. And then she collapses, cradling herself as she emits gasping sobs.
And then he is beside her and she turns her face into his chest, wetting his skin with her tears and he's kissing her and running his fingers through her hair and he just holds her and rocks her as she continues to sob. His cheeks are wet with his own tears as he stares at the ashes on the floor.
It's over, love. It's over.
And slowly she calms down and Spike pulls her duster closed over her breasts, and continues to hold her. She sniffles and turns to look at him. Her voice is low and tired as she says, I want to go home now.
'Cater to the hollow
Screaming feed me here
Fill me up again
Temporarily pacify this hungering'
