The Last Battle
Chapter-Downfall
**Post "Empty Places"**
N/A: All Buffy: The Vampire Slayer material owned by Joss Whedon and show related. Enjoy!
Anya, Willow and what was left of the potientials were sitting inside the Summer's home. They were all quiet and thinking about what had just happened, how they all teamed up on Buffy. To be honest, they were all scared, they felt alone, naked. Buffy wasn't by there side, they were empty without her.
Xander: Guys, are you sure we did the right thing? We practically put out our own flame.
Anya: What are you saying?
Xander: I'm saying, I think we did the wrong thing, I mean look at us, Buffy had been though thick & thin with us, we owe her some trust.
Faith comes walking in from talking to Buffy outside.
Faith: Your right Xand. You all stay here and I'm going to go look for her. I don't want her to be alone right now.
Kennedy: What? We just stood up for what were standing for and now were giving up! What's up?
Faith(looking at Dawn): Remember I'm not a leader. I'll be back later you guys, before sunrise. Just so you know I'm not taking sides.
They all sat around as if waiting for something.
~Faith walking the streets~
Faith: Ok, if I was Buffy right now, where would I be? I think I know where.
~The Bronze~
(Band playing)
Faith is walking through the crowd and spots Buffy sitting at a table alone, drinking.
Faith: Drinking now B? I'm in.
Buffy: Not really, just trying to figure out the whole 'Blowing Steam' deal.
Faith: Yeah, it's real easy. See what you do is...tilt the cup over your mouth and swallow.
Buffy: Always the one with the jokes.
Faith: Yeah, you know me. You know there all having doubts of what went down tonight. There all preety sorry, you can see it in there faces.
Buffy:......I'm not worried about that, they want you to lead, and that's important. (nearly asleep saying it)
Faith: I'm not a leader, you are and always will be. I'm sorry for what I said to you, I didn't want it to end up like that. Hell no.
Buffy: Your right.
Faith: Yeah? About what?
Buffy: This is hell.
Buffy gets up out of her seat and drops her cup and walks to the middle of the dancefloor.
(The Donnas-Take It Off)
I'm on my second drink
But I've had a few before
I'm trying hard to think
And I think that I want you on the floor
Uh Huh, Yeah Yeah,
Yeah, On The Floor
Come on, and Take It Off!
Take It Off, baby for me
Take It Off, Take It Off baby for me
(Music Continues)
Buffy is dancing with almost everyone on the dancefloor. Buffy is cheering on the band and screaming and very drunk. Faith is looking at Buffy with a smile on her face, thinking of how much fun they were having just a few hours ago. Buffy falls to the floor in exaustion and knocks out on the floor. Faith runs over to her and gets around the circle of people staring at the motionless body.
~The Band Stops~
Faith: Buffy?
Buffy and a couple of people from the crowd take Buffy to the nearest table and check her pulse and fan her face off. A security guard comes up to Faith and asks:
"Is she O.K?"
Faith: Yeah she's fine, just had to much to drink, shes a newbie.
Security: Want me to call a Med?
Faith: No it's fine, if she doesn't wake up too soon I'll yell for you.
~Buffy wakes up in an all white scenery~
~Her vision is blurry~
A voice calls:
"Buffy, Buffy, Wake Up"
She looks up and sees a slightly blurry face with brown hair.
Buffy(Sitting up): .....Angel...?
Angel: I'm here, listen too me. Caleb is almost unstoppable , Buffy, theres only one way to defeat him and its to find his soul power and destroy it. There's only one person who can and that's you Buffy, it's always you, it always will be. Your the slayer.
Buffy:...What? Where am I?
Angel: Look, you don't have much time, find the soul power and destroy it.
Buffy: I don't want to leave you again. Come back with me. Be with me.
Angel: I'm always with you.
~Buffy leans in to kiss him and when there in the middle of it, Buffy wakes up~
~Blurry Vision~
Faith: Buffy? Wake Up. Oh there you are.
Buffy(Confused): What happened?
Faith: You fell, while getting your groove on.
Buffy sat up while holding her head, and blood is on her hand.
Buffy: I got to go.
~Buffy runs out~
Faith: Wait, Buffy.
~Outside The Bronze~
Faith: Wait a minute B.
Buffy turns around crying.
Faith: They wan't me incharge, O.k. Your coming with me and they'll have to except it because I'm in charge. You'd die for them. I don't know if I would. Buffy you were born a leader.
I need your help. I can't do this alone.
Buffy: I think I've figured something out. Meet me back here tommarow night, tell knowone! Understand?
Faith: Right.
Buffy: You won't be alone on this.
Faith: Take care of yourself B.
~Buffy walks off~
~The Summer's Home~
Faith walks in the door and takes off her coat. She walks in the living room and Dawn is the only one awake.
Faith: Can't sleep?
Dawn: Just Thinking.
Faith: Your sis is fine.
Dawn: You talked to her?
Faith: Is anyone else awake?
Dawn: Just me, as far as I know.
Faith: Step outside with me.
~Porch~
Faith: She fell and knocked her self out. She woke up eventually and acting like she was dreaming. When she woke up she whispered "What's the Soul Power?".
Dawn: Do you know what that is?
Faith: Nope. I'm not going to tell anyone, neither can you, Ok?
Dawn: Ok, Willow might know.
Faith: No, promise me Dawn, for Buffy. Between me and you?
Dawn: Sure.
Faith: Go get some sleep.
Dawn: Thanks for telling me, I might be able to get some sleep now. Good night.
Faith: Good Morning.
Dawn: You might want to get some sleep yourself.
Faith(Pulling out a pack of smokes): Nah, I'm good, I got a whole half-a-pack left, these should last me a while. There not good, I'm supposed to be a role-model now, but they work wonders at night.
Dawn: I feel safer with you awake...kinda like when Buffy's around.
Faith: I'll be here.
~Dawn shuts the door~
~Sun Rise~
Faith is sitting in the Kitchen on top of the table with a stack of Willow's books. She is looking if she could find anything on Soul Power.
Faith(Whispering): Soul Power....the source of the main evil and/or good brought from within...
Faith looks up and repeats.
"The source of the main evil"
Willow walks in and says:
"Oh, I'm glad to see someone is acually studying. Got anything on 'The First'?
Faith: Nope, just browsing. So what are your plans for the Potientials today?
Willow: I think there going to law-low and research today, I think there all still getting over last night.
Faith: Yeah, I think we all are.
Willow: What are your plans?
Faith(Thinking of meeting Buffy at The Bronze): I don't got plans...I'm a last minute kind of girl.
Chapter 2, coming soon......Please Review.
