Buffy awoke inside her coffin, she had no idea where she was she couldn't breathe kicking and clawing she made her way out of the box. Digging thru the dirt she took in her first breathe of air. Pulling herself out of the dirt she layed down getting her bearings.

Slowly images began to form a warmth settled over her as she began to see a face then a name.

"Faith." Getting up she began to move until she saw it. The headstone with Faith emblazened on the front. She felt hollow inside. She sat there in a daze alone.

"They have tampered with the three sister's fate."

"I am aware of that."

"Now they must deal with their mistake."

"A flawed slayer is not a mistake it is a serious disadvantage for our side."

"Then so be it."

"I will not release the other one."

"There is no other choice or we are all doomed."

"Landus you can raise the dead do it."

"Lazaen I.. fine she will be released it will alter their realm."

"Then so be it."

Buffy was found laying on Faith's grave sometime later bring her back to the house she was bathed and placed in her bed. She slept away the remainder of the day. Every few hours they came to peak in on her. She rested yet her dreams were filled with an unknown figure. There was a longing and love for whomever the figure was.

"How is she?" Giles asked as Willow came into the kitchen. She had a haggard look on her face the English man realized that she was worried about her friend. "Let her sleep it off and we can see how she feels later."

"Alright, but Giles I'm worried."

"Willow she we'll be fine, just have a bit of Faith."

"FFfffaith." Buffy sat abruptly in bed as gripping her heart she felt it beating, harder stronger. It caused her to double over. Lying back down she felt her calling for her.

Yet she didn't know who she was. Getting out of bed she began to dress climbing out the window she headed towards the direction she felt the pull. Entering in the cemetary she followed the pull.

She could hear the clawing kneeling she began to claw at the dirt. Seeing a hand she pulled her up. The two fell backwards as the both began to gather their bearings.

Buffy held her tight. She was alive and they were together it was what mattered. Faith had no idea how she had gotten to where she was, all she could think about were the children and if they were ok. Pulling away from the girl she tried to get away.

"What...Where are you going?"

"I have to get to my faimly. Thank you but I have to go."

"No you can't. Please don't leave I love you."

"Who are you?"
