Authors Note: I'm hopefully trying something new here. Like I said I want to keep the same story lines as the originals, I just have to change the way things work since Angel is still here and since Buffy isn't moping about losing him and since she never left town and all. I hope you all like it. I am going to try and end chapters like they do in the shows, when it ends its as if there is a black moment on the screen and then skips to the next scene. I hope that makes sense. Thanks guys.

Chapter 10

The next morning I got to school a few minutes early, hoping to talk to Giles before Faith showed up. When I got to the library at least fifteen minutes before school started to my surprise Faith was already there.

As I walked in I saw her in Giles office sitting on his desk. She obviously had introduced herself and somehow found Giles. Yay for me, I thought. I made my way to Giles doorway. Poking my head in I noticed I didn't interrupt much. Faith was once again babbling on and Giles was just staring at her in awe.

"Faith." I greeted. "I see you found your way around here."

"Yeah B. Giles was kind of filling me in on Sunnydale being on top of a hell mouth and all. I asked him why he wasn't at the retreat with my watcher. He really didn't say why. Can I just say if I knew watchers came this cute I would have asked for a transfer?" Faith said as she turned her body towards me smiling.

I looked at Giles with a touch of concern on my face. How I wished someone was there to be as grossed out as I was by her comment.

"Well it's a very nice retreat actually…always wanted to go…sadly I wasn't invited." Giles took off his glasses and rubbed them as he replied to my stare.

"So, B." Faith jumped up off the table and came to my side. As we walked out of Giles office and into the foyer of the library she continued. "Do I get to see your classes and all that? Where do you train?"

Before I could answer Giles cut in, noticing that Cordy and Xander, Willow and Oz had just walked into the room.

"Why don't we start with introductions perhaps?" Giles stated somewhat pointing at Willow and the gang.

"Introductions for what?" Cordelia snapped.

Everyone took a seat at the table save Giles, Faith and I. We stood equal distance apart from each other, Faith closest to the exit.

I looked at Giles as he nodded at me. I then searched my friends' faces quickly. They all looked at me waiting.

"Guys…this is Faith…she's a vampire slayer." I stated quietly.

Xander's eyes grew wide as he got up off his chair and introduced himself. I looked at the rest of the gang looking on strangely.

"Oo another slayer." Xander smirked as they slightly shook hands. "Faith is it; I'm Xander king of all the land." Xander joked. Faith giggled and nodded a bit then returning her arms folded around her sides.

"I get it." Cordelia somewhat interrupted as Xander sat back down next to her. "Kendra died so now there's Faith." She finished; all of us already knowing how that worked. You have to love how Cordy states the obvious.

"Faith this is Willow…Oz…and Cordy." I gestured towards each of my friends as I introduced them. Willow waived, Oz nodded and Cordy Smiled.

"So you guys know about Buffy?" Faith asked. I could tell she was a little confused as to why I had so many friends that knew my secret. They all just sort of nodded and Faith was fine with that.

"Well now that you have all been formally introduced, I suggest we talk about the matter at hand." Giles broke in. I assumed he was talking about the Mohra demons that Faith, and Angel and I fought last night.

"There's a matter at hand, where have I been?" Willow frowned.

"Luckily you have been at home Willow." Giles started. "There was a murder last night in this area. The papers are saying the victim was mauled by some sort of wild dog." Before Giles could keep going I had to cut in.

"Wait, dogs?" I looked just at Giles now. "Don't you want to talk about the five demons that attacked Faith last night?" I looked at Faith who then shrugged. "Didn't you tell him?" I asked Faith.

"No. I figured that was your territory, he's your watcher." Faith responded.

"Demons?" Willow cut in, "what kind of demons?" She finished as she stood up.

I looked at her, she could tell by the look in my eyes what kind of demons. "Oh." She replied sitting back down.

"Buffy?" Giles prodded. "What's going on?"

"Last night. When Angel and I went out on patrol, we saw Faith running away from a bunch of demons. Angel and I killed most of them, Faith killed the others…Giles… they were Mohra demons, the same demon that came out of the portal Willow and I opened." I paused giving everyone a moment to absorb the information. "I know what you're going to say Giles, but the point is that we killed them. I know we don't know if more are coming but from what you're saying we have other more important things to be worrying about." I finished.

"Something about a wild dog?" Xander reminded everyone.

"How come I never know what's going on?" Cordelia chimed in.

"I kinda like not knowing." Oz replied to Cordelia's statement.

I could see the frustration in Giles face. "Your right; Last night a boy was mauled by a wild dog." Giles returned his gaze to me. "Buffy from what the papers say I think there is something more involved here." Giles walked behind the counter as he continued. "Now I am going to try and contact Faith's watcher. Maybe while she is here she can help us catch whatever is doing this. Later we will work on the other problem, maybe we can find a way to make sure the portal you opened is closed."

I nodded; I noticed a somewhat worried look on Faith's face when he mentioned calling her watcher. I shrugged it off though.

"Buffy…Faith…Meet me back here at lunch hour." Giles stated.

We both nodded. "You got it." Faith said.

We all heard the bell for class ring. Willow and Oz were the first to stand. As Willow walked by me she spoke, "Buffy, you think there are more of them. I mean now with the supposed mauling and all, what if they are the ones doing this; we have never seen them kill before?"

"I don't know. But I will find out." I reassured her.

Oz grabbed Willows hand as he approached Faith. "Question…" Oz stated.

"Yeah shoot." Faith replied.

"How is your view on werewolves?" Oz questioned, this time his face actually showed concern.

"Oz is a werewolf." Willow informed Faith.

"Hey as long as you're not trying to kill me or humping my leg were five by five you know." Faith stated with a smile. As I heard her say that once again I could see the confusion on both Willow and Oz's face. They took that as a good thing though.

Oz nodded, looking at Willow he said goodbye and headed to class.

Cordy followed behind him after giving Xander a sweet peck on the cheek," bye." She whispered quietly.

Giles went into his office as Xander approached Willow, Faith and me.

"So ladies…whats are we doing?" Xander chimed in. We had somewhat formed a small huddled circle now.

"Why don't uh...Why don't we show you around Faith?" Willow smiled insistently.

"Yeah, we could tell you all the scary stories about this school that hopefully wont make you run away screaming." Xander joked. "C'mon it'll be fun."

"Sure, if that's cool with B." Faith stated happily.

"Yeah." I replied. I noticed Xander and Willows eagerness to get to know the new slayer in our lives; it was fine with me, as long as I didn't have to handle her right now; I had enough to deal with. "Have fun…I'll meet you guys in the lunch room after 4th period."

"Sounds good." Willow smiled as she grabbed Faith's arm.

They headed off out the doors and into the hallway, talking away.

I walked into Giles office. He had been in there a while now. I needed to talk to him, about everything. Now that we were alone I could. As I sat down I noticed a strange look on Giles's face. That could only mean very few things.

"Everything okay Giles?" I asked softly, relaxing in his chair.

"Shouldn't you be getting to class?" Giles reminded.

"Yeah but I need to talk to you." I responded annoyingly. I noticed he had just got off the phone so I decided to start there. "Did you find anything out about Faith?"

"Well she said she is staying in a motel on the outskirts of town. Other then that…I just got off the phone with the council. They are contacting her watcher. They should be calling back anytime." Giles said calmly, "she is quite a fire ball though…a lot of spunk. She could prove to be quite useful." He finished.

"You noticed that too huh." I replied.

"Buffy what's on your mind?" Giles insisted now changing the subject and giving me a stern look.

"I'm not sure what to do Giles. I mean I wake up from acoma, First all these Mohra demons, then a new slayer and now some sort of wild dogs and to top it off since I missed 2 weeks of school I am behind in a lot of my classes…When does it stop?" I asked already knowing the answer was that it never does. "I'm just so overwhelmed. I guess it is a good thing Faith is here, she worries me though. There's something she isn't telling us, I can feel it."

"Well you may be right Buffy, but we might as well let her help if she is willing." Giles started on. "Just go on to your classes. There's not much we can do now. We'll figure this out later."

"Right, figure out a game plan later." I said both to Giles and myself.

Giles nodded and I walked out of his office and headed off to my first class, to which I was already late.
