Have A Little Faith!

by notevenifyoukillme

When Buffy gave her life in place of Dawn, it seemed that there was no hope left. However, Faith returned to her Slayer duties in Sunnydale. Now with their final battle against The First coming up it's Faith's final test; can she win?

1. Introduction

Authors Note: I do not own Buffy the Vampire Slayer or any of its characters, except my happy place where Buffy and Angel live happily ever after.
Plot summary: What if when Buffy died at the hands of the portal, she stayed dead? What if Faith took her duties after escaping from prison during season 2 of Angel? What if it was FAITH that lead the Potentials to fight The First? Alternate reality. Once again with the Buffy being dead scenario, an accidentally recurring theme with my fanfics.
Setting: Starts at about 'Touched'.

What I'm writing here is just an introduction, which is why it's very short. The chapters will be longer, although writers block has set up camp in my head right now so I don't know how long they'll be. This was sort of a flash forward, the next chapter will be set during Touched.

A hush fell upon the house as everyone in it remained in silent contemplation of what was to come. They knew that one way or another by the end of today it would be finished. The air was electric as all of the Potentials woke and none of them moved.

"Girls," the leader's voice sounded from the kitchen, strong and determined. "It's time."

The Potentials were all fearful of what was to come, all knowing that;

"Some of you will die today. Decide that it's not going to be you. Fight. Win," the leader continued.

"Does anyone know where the Bran is? I put my name on it," Andrew said, bursting into the conversation. The Slayer rolled her eyes at him.

A Potential with her mouth full held up a seemingly empty box of Bran, the front showing the whole room a very obvious sticker reading 'THIS BRAN BELONGS TO ANDREW'. She shrugged indifferently and finished devouring the remnants of the box.

"You Potentials are just as bad as Faith!" he pouted, storming out.

"Anyway," The Slayer continued, "We have to go into this with our eyes open. We've trained you all we can, now it's up to you. Believe in yourselves. As the one Slayer born to every generation, I'm telling you that we. Can. Win."

Rona looked up admiringly, "We believe in you, Faith."
