Far From Over
Prologue
"Buffy, what are we gonna do now?" questioned Dawn, more for affect than anything else. A smile crept its way across her sister's face. With a sudden shake she fell to the ground, her eyes closed and her smile fading.
"Oh my God! Buffy! Buffy, wake up!" cried Willow, falling beside her comrade and shaking her shoulders. Faith swooped down beside Buffy and lifted her up, as a trail of blood dripped from Buffy's stomach wound, increasing the size of the puddle left where her body had once lain.
With a thump she dropped her onto a seat in the bus as Willow looked at the wound and did her best to scab it over, unable to fully heal it with her weakened powers. She ripped open the First Aid box and wrapped gauze around the gash and tightened it, and soon collapsed herself, falling to the floor.
"Willow!" cried Kennedy, and rushed over to help. Willow gave a nod to Kennedy as she lifted her up and set her in the seat in front of Buffy's, letting her rest to regain her strength.
Faith walked shakily over to Robin, still resting in the driver's seat. Easing herself to the ground beside him she watched as his breathing remained constant - still alive. She glanced around the rest of the bus at the other Slayers, already feeling the cons of their newly-activated powers.
Rona was injured badly and bleeding while Vi tried to tend to her wounds. Kennedy watched Willow to make sure she stayed conscious, while Willow was more focused on Buffy remaining alive. Dawn and Xander remained baffled as to what they should do, trying to make sure everyone stayed calm. The countless others were dropping like flies from the mortal wounds now felt because of the lack of adrenaline.
A single tear began to make its way down Faith's cheek as she quickly rubbed it away. She slowly stood up, ready, once again, to take command in Buffy's place. She opened her mouth to speak when a brilliant light shined through the bus.
Faith fell on her bottom as the bus shook and a loud voice invaded her head, its message incoherent. With an even brighter flash Faith became unconscious and disappeared into darkness.
