The Slayer's Little Sister: Chapter One

"Pass the chips?" Dawn ask while stepping over Faith's legs. Faith had been sitting on the couch watching TV with her feet resting on the coffee table.

Faith shrugged and passed the bowl "Your chips" she responded not letting her eyes leave the TV.

Buffy had been busy with the others helping train the potentials. Dawn felt alone, and had no one to talk Faith was the only one in the house she figured she would give it a did she have to lose? Well it was Faith, depending on her mood Dawn could lose a limb.

Dawn plopped down on the couch next to Faith and she rested the bowl in between them "See, compromise now we can share" Dawn tried to sound cleaver, not really sure how to talk to someone like Faith.

Faith just gave her a nod, she most likely wasn't even eyes glued to the TV.

Dawn glanced at the TV then back at Faith "Hey, shouldn't you be helping Buffy and the others with the newbies?"

Faith's dark honey-brown eyes finally locked on Dawn's " Are you high? I ain't goin' near 'em unless I have to"Faith shrugged then added "Isn't it you nap time or something,kid?"

Dawn's jaw dropped she was now eighteen, and hated being treated like a child "Hardly!" She gave Faith a glare "I'm not a kid anymore you know.."

A cocky grin peeled across the slayer's glanced Dawn up and down, she was hardly a had definitely...developed since the last time Faith had seen ignored Dawn and leaned forward and grabbed the half a cigarette she had left lingering in the ashtray. Faith placed it between her lips and took a long drag, she had been smoking a lot more since she had been in Sunnydale. Faith left the smoke lingering in her lungs for a few moments and turned her head and blew the smoke away from Dawn's face.

Dawn just watched in amazement, she just idolized how cool smoking looked when Faith did it. She made it seem so sexy, and mysterious Dawn looked at the pack of cigarettes on the table and grabbed it, Faith snatched them and arched a brow

"What the hell do you think you are doing?"Faith asked and tossed them back onto the table.

"Come on Faith, just one" Dawn whined

Faith cringed at the whininess of Dawn's voice and shook her head "And what? have B come in here and kick my ass" Faith chuckled "Sorry kid. Can't help ya"

Dawn glared again and crossed her arms "How many fucking times do I have to say it! .NOT.!" she practically shouted.

Faith's eyes widen slightly "Ya sure? only kids through tantrums" Faith smirked purposely trying to piss the young brunette off.

"Yes, and I can prove it to you" Dawn said confidently

Faith smiled and passed Dawn the cigarette "And how's that Dawnie? " she purred.

Dawn took the cigarette and smiled at Faith she looked down at it. was the time to impress placed the cigarette to her lips, trying her best to imitate Faith, she inhaled and immediately starting coiffing and choking. Faith began to laugh and took the cigarette from Dawn and butted it out in the ashtray and began to pat Dawn on the back.

"Well grown-up, how was it?" Faith asked with an arched brown, now amused with Dawn "Ain't what ya thought, is it?"

Dawn's face turned red and ignored the question.

"Oh come on, I thought a big girl like you could handle it" Faith mocked.

"I can"

"I noticed" Faith said with full sarcasm.

Dawn looked at the clock, Buffy and the others had been out late.

"Don't be worried. They went to the told me not to wait up" Faith told Dawn, knowing Dawn often worried about Buffy.

Dawn gave Faith a half smile" I wasn't worried"

"Right"

"I wasn't"

Faith smirked and rolled her eyes.

Dawn eyed the slayer up and down. How did Faith do it? look so sexy without trying. All the boys wanted her, they didn't want someone as plan and boring as well as shy like Dawn.

Dawn looked back into Faith's eyes only to become embarrassed again.

"You just totally checked me out" Faith mocked with a laugh.

"WHAT! N-n-no! I-I-I" Dawn scrambled to find words "I was just.. I like your outfit"

"Uh-huh" Faith didn't buy it.

"I was. You look good in leather.. I couldn't pull it off" Dawn added.

"Yes ya could. Just need to have the attitude that goes with it is all" Faith said still smiling.

Dawn felt her face get hot, she must have been so red in the face with embarrassment.

"It's okay if you were you know" Faith said, he voice now low and husky.

"but- I wasn't" Dawn lied.

Faith bit her lower lip and moved a piece of hair away from Dawn's face, tucking it behind her ear. Dawn shut her eyes, Faith's touch sent cold goose bumps up her opened her eyes and smiled shyly.

"Maybe.. I mean. I didn't mean to. I just think you are beautiful Faith. I want to be like you"Dawn shrugged "I guess I want to be noticed.

Faith eyed her up and down once again, noticing Dawn's new subtle curves and her slender now woman-like figure, she no longer had a little girls body. She was now a young adult.

"Dawn, you are definitely noticed" Faith place her hand on Dawn's arm and ran her finger tips up her arm and rested it on Dawn's shoulder.

Dawn licked her lips desperately trying to moisten them "nobody notices me." Dawn had always felt ignored and unnoticed.

Faith knew how it felt to not fit in. In a way, Faith was the only one who could relate to how lonely Dawn could feel. Faith could never really relate to anyone. The only reason she was in Sunnydale was Buffy could use another Slayer in the upcoming battle.

"I noticed you" Faith's voice almost sounded empathetic, like she knew the pain of being ignored.

"You do?"

"Yeah, I noticed you when I first came back to this shit-hole-town." Faith said really not sure why she was admitting this.

Dawn began to fidget in her seat.

Faith placed a hand on Dawn's cheek and leaned forward placing her own lips onto Dawn's.
