She first faced Spike, then turned to face Ripper. Somehow she had to decide between the two of them if she had any hope of preventing one of them from dying. Only trouble was, she couldn't decide. Willow knew that which ever she chose would be for good. Once commited there would be no turning back. Spike and Ripper were glaring at each other over the top of Willow's head. She knew she had very little time. Then Spike went for Ripper, grabbing his throat and pushing Willow out of the way in the same movement. Ripper was pushing Spike's head away from him with all his strength. If Spike started to drain him all his strength would drain out with his blood. Willow watched helpless as Spike kicked Ripper in the stomach, winding him and causing him enough pain to allow Spike to go for his throat, sinking his teeth into the throbing blood vessel standing out from Ripper's neck from exertion. Ripper started to weaken and fall to his knees. He knew he had no chance, his only thouht now was to use his remaining strength to take Spike with him. There was no way he was leaving Willow to this monster. Ripper's hands flailed about wildly, trying to find anything to give him an advantage over Spike. His hand found a chair. Raising it as high as his waining strength would let him he smashed it against the floor breaking the leg off. He thrust the leg into Spike's heart just before he blacked out from bloodloss. ***** Willow woke up sweating from her nightmare. She could remember very little about it, just that there had been both Giles and Spike in it. Strange that it would have been those two, they weren't the most compatible. Willow snuggled back up against Oz and went back to sleep.
