Faith was running through the forest, crossbow in hand. She had lost Angelus and Star, but she had no doubt that they were alright. The question was would she be alright. The demon that was currently chasing her was rather nasty. Not that she couldn't handle it. Mid run she turned around and shot some crossbows at the damn thing, but they did little damage. Running past a tree she skidded to a halt and teleported up into the tree. She then watched as the demon ran past the tree. Assumingly following the direction she would have still been running in. After a good long while she jumped down from the tree, landing gracefully on her feet. She was just about to go find the others when something hit her from behind. She rolled a bit before jumping up, pointing her crossbow at the thing that had attacked her. But her crossbow was kicked from her hands. She looked up at the man before her, ready to attack him if need be, but then she noticed something. He had a heart beat.

"You're human," Faith said to him. And she could see it in his mind too, he wasn't just some human looking demon or something like that. He was human. With his hazel blue eyes, and shoulder length brown hair. He was also fairly muscular.

"What?" He asked, wondering what the hell she was talking about. Before anything else could be said or done two people grabbed her arms.

"Come on Faith, let's go," Angelus said.

She glanced behind her and saw the demon coming their way.

"Right," she said. "Run ahead of me." She shoved both him and Star in front of her. She then ran towards the human and gently slammed him into a tree, covering his mouth. She could feel him struggle against her, but he wasn't going anywhere. The demon ran by them then, and again she waited a few minutes before pushing away from the human and the tree. She then heard a scream coming from Star, followed by Angel shouting her name. In a flash she was running after the demon, since she had lost her crossbow a sword appeared in her hands. As she advanced on the demon she saw it was standing above Star, jumping up she landed on it's back before thrusting her sword into his head. Angelus pulled Star out from under them in time for the demon to stagger and fall to the ground. She did a tuck and roll before jumping to her feet and turning to look at the fallen demon. She then held out her hand, making the demon catch fire, turning him to ash before making a wind pick up and blowing his remains away. Walking over to Star she looked her over.

"You ok?" she asked, looking over every inch of her best friend.

"Yes. I'm fine," she said flailing her arms at Faith.

"What was that about sis?" Angel asked.

"Well I was tired of running from that thing, so I went up a tree. After it ran past I jumped down to go find you two so we can get out of here when that kid ran into me. I thought he was another demon so I jumped into action but he kicked the crossbow away. Then I realized he was a human," She said shrugging. "Anyways I am SO done with this forest. Let's bounce," She said taking their hands and teleporting them back to her place.

"Are you sure he wasn't there with the demons?" Angel asked as they walked up the steps to her house.

"Yes Liam, I am sure."

"I told you to never call me that."

"Then stop questioning me. I saw his mind. He wasn't there with the demons. He ran into me purely on accident. It is probable the last we will ever see of him. So please drop it," She snapped as they walking into the house. She heard a clank and turned around to see that he had tossed her sword on the floor.

"The only problem is when we went into the forest you had a crossbow. So what happened to it Faith."

"I dropped it ok. You also had a stake and a sword of your own but I don't see them anywhere. So stop treating me like a child. It was a freak accident the guy showed up, it means nothing, and it could have happened to either one of you."

"If it had happened to me I would have..."

"What?" She got up in his face. "Killed him? You know my rule about killing people."

"Rule? It's more like a law."

"Either way it has kept us safe. From each other, and the humans. It is bad enough we go out patrolling once in awhile, the whole point to hiding out from the world is to; well hide out. Not make ourself known because of stupid little habits like slaying and feeding from humans."

"It's bullshit! We shouldn't have to hide!"

"This was your idea!"

"To protect you!"

"I don't need protecting!"

"Oh ya?!"

"Yea!" She punched him.

His head snapped back before he looked at her and backhanded her.

She growled and slammed him into the wall.

He growled back just the same.

"You will not feed from a human," she snarled at him.

"Try and stop me," he said back.

She punched him again, while also blocking his arms from hitting her back.

"Stop fighting me!" she said through gritted teeth.

She then slammed her body into his against the wall and kissed him. As she deepen the kiss Angelus moaned. She then bit his lip making him bleed. As he licked his lips she cut her neck with a nail and shoved his face to the spot. It took him a moment before he bit into her neck. She gasped and held his head to her neck. In a flash Angelus flipped them around, pinning her to the wall with his body. He rubbed his erection against her and she moaned.

Totally forgetting about Star, who just left into another room.
