Dammit. I had every intention of kicking her ass. And now I'm not sure. Oh yeah she's the chosen one who has died more times than Lazurus. But she's Buffy. All blonde and sweet and holier than thou. Yet there's just something about her.
Faith stubbed out her cigarette. She stood in the shadow's watching. Buffy tried to side step Spike. Pulling her in he kissed her. Pulling away she punched him in the jaw.
Spike in turn kicked her. Backing up. Buffy just glared at him. Faith fought the urge to come forward but thought better of it as she listened.
"What Spike? You thought I would fall into bed with you." "It's already happened once pet. It's only a matter of time before I get you there again." There was a fire in Buffy's eyes. "Once Spike that's all you get. Never again. If you ever try that again I will stake you." Buffy turned to leave. Leaving Spike alone.
Watching Buffy leave Faith stepped out of the shadow's. "Hello Spike." Spike turned around to found a very angry Faith staring at him. "Who the bloody hell are you?"
"It dosen't really matter see cause you won't live thru tonight." Faith lunged at Spike dropping him to the ground. She punched him. Pulling a stake from her jacket she prepared to strike.
"Faith?" In mid stride Faith looked up to find Buffy staring at her. "Long time no see B." "Faith I. What are you doing here." "Slaying what else." Faith said with a smile.
"Come on pet. Get her off me." Spike said as he laid pinned underneath Faith. "Faith we need to talk."
"Hold on a sec would ya and then we can do what ever."
"Faith." Buffy tried a little more forcefully.
"Fine, Fine." Faith replied removing herself from Spike. "Thanks Buff all be seeing you." "Spike leave now or I let her finish." "Bloody git." Spike headed off into the night. "So. B, how you been." "Expecting a hit Faith received a hug. "B, what the hell are you doing." "I'm sorry I just Faith we have to talk."
Buffy and Faith took the backstreets of SunnyDale. Heading towards her Faith almost was about to bolt but a look from Buffy held her. "B. Not that I don't want to see the wagon but why your house."
"Faith it's the one place they won't be." "Yeah right B. They're always there." "How did you know that?" Buffy asked raising an eyebrow. "I didn't just where else would they be." Faith said covering. Way to go brainaic. It won't take her long to figure out that you've been spying.
Buffy opened the door she called out. "Dawn, Willow you home?" Silence answered the two slayers. "Good come in. Make yourself at home." "Thanks." Faith opted to stand in the corner. She still didn't trust this.
"Come on. We can talk in my room." Faith followed Buffy up the stairs. Opening the door Buffy turned on the light. Faith looked around sighing. Buffy looked up. "What?" "Your room it's just like I remebered." Faith smiled at her. Buffy took a seat on the bed.
"Faith what do you remember about me?" "What?" "What was I like. Who was I?" "B, you're freaking me here." "Just answer the question please." Buffy's eye were pleading yet they were hollow. For the first time that night Faith actually looked at her. Buffy wasn't Buffy sure she looked like Buffy but she was darker. Not her but everything around her. The clothe where the first thing she noticed.
"B. Buffy why are you in black. I mean it's good great even but black, it's not you." "Okay that's a start. What else?" Buffy said grabbing a pen and some paper.
"Whoa Buffy chill. Okay what is going on?" "I'm dead or I was or am. I don't know any more. I need help. Faith I need it back." "What Back?" "My heart, soul, slaying what ever it is I need it back or I can't live." "That's it? Buffy look at me." Buffy looked into Faith's eyes. "They're empty." "Why." "It's gone. B the fire the light. No one can see it. Because to them their hero has returned but a hero without cause. You fight but what for." "I do it for them."
"No you do it because that's what they told you did. B, that's what you never wanted to be. And I can't help you." Faith stood moving towards the door. "Then fight me and let me die."
I can't buy this. She's giving herself to me on a silver platter. This isn't Buffy. I'm not even sure who she is. The outcome rests on me. "B. This is crazy, but what the hell." "Where?" "The place where we started ths. Meet me in an hour." Faith headed out the door leaving Buffy to her own devices.
Buffy walked over to her desk removing a pen and paper she sat down to write. Finnishing the letter she sealed it and placed it on her pillow. Turning out the light she headed out the door.
Faith walked into her apartment it hadn't changed since she had left. Well left wasn't exactly the right word. Since she had thrown herself off the side of the building.
Faith stood in a corner. The lights were half out. She waited for Buffy to enter. Pulling up her collar Buffy walked in. "Faith?" She called out. "Right on time B. Let's play." Faith said standing up. "Wait don't you want to talk." "Bout what. I think we know the deal it's time to throw down."
