The lyrics are "Face the Slayer" by Slayer. I thought it was unfair that I
have never done a Faith story and I have never heard the grunge band
Slayer. Combine the two and change a few words so that it is actually PG-13
plus a little Faith internal dialogue and you have the story.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A misty night, a perfect night, Beneath the cold of the frozen stars. You feel the fright; you know I'm near. You never should have come this far. I am alive, you can't kill me.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can't kill me. Is that what all the Slayers before me have thought? I bet none of them screwed up half as much as me. I killed a man a few years ago. It was an accident, but it started a downward spiral in my life that ended in jail. So now, I travel helping where I am needed. Where I am needed now is a cemetery. I have been chasing this vampire for a few nights now. I don't know why he's so hard to catch. Most vampires are so stupid its just quip, stake, poof. Well it just means that this guy is a worthy adversary. Maybe he'll be my vampire honey. Hey, B doesn't get to keep all the vampire hotties.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Go through the fire, walk past the dead, Lost in the maze. Your heart doesn't pound through the mist filled air. Your concentration breaks for me to strike. You've cowered down, you've broken the chain. Now I can freeze your burning eyes.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
He's stopped. I can't believe he stopped. Nights of following his body count through graveyards and he stops at a warehouse. He broke to chain to get in. So, he's in there waiting for me. It's no longer my chase. He's decided to take a stand. Gee can we say trap, but I still have to go in trap or not. This guy has to be put down.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You see me lift the axe, as it plunges through your shield. You now begin to panic as you see your chances grow slim. You're running through the endless maze. You turn and I'll be there. A force too strong for you to fight. Your end I'll see tonight.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Okay so after a brutal battle I have my axe through his chest. Not close enough to his heart to dust him though. I want this creep alive to interrogate. "What do you want?" he asks terrified, as all vampires who face me, besides Angel and Spike, are.
"I want some answers. See I hear you were in Sunnydale the night one of my friends died. Another Slayer answered to the name Kennedy."
"I don't know anything"
"Wrong answer"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You think you can destroy me? You'd better think again. I am an eternal terror. My quest will never end. I'll trap you in the pentagram And seal your battered tomb. Your life is just another game.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Okay. My buddies and me thought it would be cool to drink a Slayer. Rumor had it a new Slayer was rising. We knew she wouldn't be ready for us."
"Well guess what. The Slayers have a code. We protect and defend our own. If that means we have to avenge their deaths by killing their attacker well that's what we do."
"Please" but before the vampire could finish his sentence I had started the simple incantation that would zap him like a genie into a lamp. Only it was a vampire into a pentagram talisman. Satisfied I put the talisman into my bag.
"Boy will Willow be happy to see you," I smiled. "Game over."
