Faith's Death
Chapter 1
'Bustin' Out'
Outside of the Girls Correctional Facility in Stockton, California, Faith Lehane was lifting weights. Other girls and police officers were amazed at how much she could lift. A police officer walked out of the building.
"Message for Faith Lehane," he shouted. Faith dropped the weights down hard and stood up. She walked into the building with him and over to the glass windows where you can talk to you friends or family over the phone. Faith sat down and saw the warden sitting on the other side. She picked up the phone and starred at him, waiting for him to say something.
"A friend of yours called," he said. "Giles."
"Oh he did? Did he?" she asked questionably. The warden nodded his head. "Well then," Faith continued. "Why didn't he talk to me over the phone?"
"Didn't want to talk," The warden replied quickly. Faith nodded her head. She opened her mouth to ask what he wanted, but the warden beat her. "He told me to tell you," he paused for a moment. "That Buffy died." Faith starred into his eyes. She felt her heart tear in half, and then disintegrate into a thousand tiny pieces. She starred at him blankly. Buffy was the only one that went out of her way to be nice to Faith, and did stuff for her even though she didn't have to. Faith was heartbroken that she couldn't be there to protect and save Buffy. She kept starring at the warden.
"Thank you," She said into the phone and hung up. She stayed sitting in the chair, and The Warden got up and walked away, but Faith was overwhelmed by a crazy idea. She stood up and starred through the window. The police officer walked up behind her and grabbed her by the shoulder to gently to lead her back outside. She elbowed him in the face knocking him to the ground. She jumped through the window and extended her body doing a summersault onto the floor. One cop ran up to her but before he could do anything she kicked him in the stomach. He doubled over and she kneed him in the ribs. He fell to the floor and Faith headed to the window. The Warden stepped in front of her and drew his gun. She stopped and raised her hands above her head very slowly.
"Don't make me pull this trigger," The Warden said. Faith paused for a moment and wheel kicked the gun out of The Warden's hands and clear across the room. Many more cops ran after her, but she jumped out of the window all too fast for them. She fell four floors down onto a car underneath of her. She stood up and regained her balance. She looked up to the window she had jumped out of. She saw the police men looking down and pointing at her. Then, Faith decided, that it was time to go. She ran quickly out into the streets and headed out to find a bus stop. She ran for about a half an hour and finally found one, and just in time. The bus was just about to leave the stop when she came rushing to it. She entered the bus and told the driver her destination. Then he put the bus in gear and headed off. Faith was headed to Sunnydale.
On the bus people looked back and starred at Faith. She had cuts and scrapes that were pretty freely bleeding, but Faith knew she would heal fast.
She got off of the bus at a stop in Sunnydale and headed to the Summer's household. She was walking on the side walk leading up to Buffy's house. In the front lawn she saw somebody. He coughed and stood up; a beer was in his hand. He was good looking with white hair and he wore a black leather jacket.
"You," he said. Faith raised her head and thought for a bit. Then she smiled what she could and said,
"Spike right?" Spike looked at her strangely. He had no idea of how she knew who he was. "We've met before." Faith said. "Only I wasn't me then." Spike still looked at her blankly. "I was in Buffy's body." Spike lifted his head up and opened his mouth. He remembered now. "Look, Spike," She said. "I'm not really in the mood for talking right now. I'm gonna go inside." Spike gestured his arms to the door telling her to go ahead. She nodded to him and walked through the door. She immediately saw to her right Giles and Dawn in the kitchen.
"Why Faith," Giles said pulling off his glasses. "Ho-How did you get out of jail?" he asked. Then he looked at her. She was still dressed in her blue uniform and she had shallow cuts all over her. "I see," he said.
"What happened?" Faith demanded. Giles looked behind him and then back at Faith.
"She jumped," he said. Faith closed her eyes and leaned her head back. She couldn't believe it. "She did it, to save Dawn." He finished, and he walked into the other room. Dawn who was standing beside Giles with her arms folded followed him. Faith went and got some new clothes on, and walked down the basement steps. She sat down on one of the last five steps and cried. After a while she left the house in search for the cemetery that Buffy was laid to rest in. There were many graveyards in Sunnydale, but Faith new were Buffy would be. Her favorite cemetery, Restfield.
