Chapter 1: Payback's A Bitch

Faith managed to look around through her badly swollen eyes; she was chain to the wall by the wrist. She was greatly confused by what she saw.

"B?" she managed to croak out. Faith was still very unfocused and felt like she had been hit by a truck.

"I've been waiting long enough bitch..."

It started to come back to her, she remember Willow coming to LA looking for her.

"Faith, please we need your help" a very tired looking willow said.

Faith just stared coldly at them.

"Look, I know we didn't part on the best terms. But we really need your help, she was become so cold. She wouldn't talk to us anymore. Please Faith we need your help."

"What makes you think I can help her? The last time I checked, she still fucking hates. God, she fucking gutted my for angel." Faith yelled angrily at Willow.

"Please Faith, you are the only one that gets to her."

"Fuck off Red. I don't care what happens to her"

"Faith I know you care about her. Please Faith she is messing with unspeakable things"

"Fuck Red! Why didn't you tell me earlier!" She roughly grabbed her leather jacket. "Let's go Red"

"...I've been waiting so long for this..."

Suddenly Faith was very aware of the blood dripping into the eyes, cloudy her vision. She noticed that she was not chain in an old abandoned warehouse like she first thought, but in the basement of Buffy's house.

"So red, what's the stitch?" Faith asked Willow during the car ride from LA to Sunnyhell.

Willow looked reluctant to tell Faith what has been happening for the pass year.

"Damn Red, you want my help but you can't tell me what the hell is the problem." the rage Faith was feeling was evident in Faith's eyes. She was sick of Willow's holier than thou attitude.

"Look Red, I cant do anything if u don't tell me anything" She tried again remember that she was a new person not the hot tempered bitch that everyone from sunnyhell thought she was.

"...First you turn my family against me..." the blade in Buffy's hand was getting dangerously close to faith's neck...

"weee...wee. we.. Thought that Buffy was just upset..." Willow was close to tears recalling the bad memories"...after...aafter... her mumm... i... ii... meant Mrs Summer's death..." Faith felt bad for pushing Willow.

"shit red, I'm sorry..."

She was about to apologize when Willow cut her off, "No Faith, you deserve to know what went wrong... "Willow took a few breaths before continuing.

"Let's start again; it all happened after Mrs. Summers died. Buffy became so withdrawn; she barely talked to us anymore. One day during patrol, she came across a demon with an amulet which allows the wearer to absorb it's opponent's mystical powers or life force if he or she has none. She managed to defend the demon and obtain his amulet. First she started killing and absorbing demons that attacked her during patrol, day by day she became more powerful. The demon population was cut into half in a matter of days, so naturally we thought it was a good thing. Well that was before she started draining wiccans and warlocks."

"Shit Red, what took you so long to get help?" faith said, pissed off that no one bothered to tell her about Buffy.

"Sorry Faith, we thought she only needed time." yeah, two bloody years, faith thought to herself.

"Faith, it's not like you were the most stable person to ask help from two years ago. Besides, we're not the best of friends"

" Damn Red, you picked up some mojo. But DONT EVER MESS WITH MY HEAD AGAIN!"

"Sorry..." mumbled Willow, if it wasn't for the slayer hearing, Faith wouldn't have heard it. A small smile formed on her lips, she closed her eyes trying to get some rest.

"...then you turn my best friend against me..." Buffy brought the blade down towards faith's chest, popping her buttons on the way down exposing faith's chest. Faith was shocked by the emotions in Buffy's eyes, there anger, hatred, rage... and lust? However, it was gone as soon as it came.

"... You betrayed me... "

Slap

"… You made me the victim…"

Slap

"…I thought you cared…"

Slap

"…Well, it's my turn now…"

"How does it feel faith, to have no control at all?" With that Buffy increased the pressure of the blade on faith's skin drawing blood. Faith who was too stunned for words at the turn of events, just stared at Buffy. The coldness in Buffy's eyes scared her to the core, reminding her too much of what she used to be.

"How does it feel to be at the mercy on someone else?" Buffy punched Faith hard on the face. Blood started to drip from Faith mouth.

However, the blood only increased Buffy's bloodlust and soon she was beating on faith. "I'm going to show you pain, I'm going to make you bleed" Buffy's smile becoming more and more psychotic and it chilled Faith to the spine.

Faith who was chain to the wall couldn't do anything but watch in horror as Buffy craved names of people she hurt. The memories came rushing back to her, hunting her; she could hear their screams, begging her to stop. The physical pain that Buffy caused was nothing compared to what she was going through emotionally.

Faith slumbered back in defend, just taking whatever Buffy dished out without even trying to break free, when suddenly she felt Buffy's blade slice through her stomach, a searing pain ripped thru her body as images of that night on the rooftop came rushing back to her, she stifled a scream of agony.

The last thing she remembers before darkness overwhelmed her was Buffy saying in her ear "payback's a bitch" and then she fell into nothingness.
