Faith's POV
When I first woke up I couldn't remember where I was or even who I was, all I knew was this great sense of panic. So acting on that feeling I quickly started pulling the wires and tubes I found connected to myself. By this time my head had started to clear and I had been able to put the pieces back together. My name is Faith and I am The Dark Vampire slayer, as to how I got here well I think I'll explain that later but first, I needed to get out of here.
Standing took a couple times and suddenly I had to know how long its been, so taking a shaky step I grabbed what looked like my hospital chart.
Faith Lehane
Admitted for a stab wound and head trauma
Survived surgery but slipped into coma eight months ago
That was as far as I got before my rage got the best of me, Eight months!, All for a fucking vampire!. channeling my rage I throw my chart down and quickly I started looking for something to change into, I found some doctor scrubs and threw them on. As I was finishing I heard someone outside my door, scanning the room I noticed the only way out was the window. Not giving myself time to second guess I moved to the window and jumped. Thank god I was only on the second floor was my only thought as I ran as fast as I could. I was miles away before I stopped, looking around trying to recognize where I was. There the welcome to Sunnydale sign, I knew where I was and now I needed to stop and figure out what to do now. Walking over to the sign I drop to the ground and leaned against the sign. I remembered everything now, Buffy, her gang of friends, Flinch, the mayor and that fucking vampire Angel. Since the world was still the shit hole it's always been I knew the mayor had lost. I don't really care though, I'm not naïve I know he only wanted me for my powers. First thing I needed t o do was go get the professor and bring him to the stupid scooby gang, I'm sure the guy will be just as happy as I was to learn its been eight months. T hats right I never actually killed the professor, I told him what was going on and we worked out a way to hide him and make it look like I killed him. I may have killed flinch but that was an accident and I was not killing another person. Deciding that was my plan I forced myself to my feet and took off to the cave I had hidden the professor in. Ten minutes later I stopped in front of the professors body, lifting the body I took off following the tingle's I knew would lead to the woman who tried to kill me. I would rather get another witch to awaken him but I've been gone for awhile and I knew no one else capable. Arriving at the building housing the so-called chosen one I moved to the window. Almost everyone was inside; Giles, Willow, Xander, and Buffy. There was also some farm boy hanging off of Buffy. Rage like I've never felt before flowed through my body and before I could stop myself I kicked down the front door. Standing in the door way everyone seemed too shocked to do anything.
" You took eight months of my life for a fucking Vamp and your not even with him anymore. I hope it was fucking worth it. This is the professor and he has a sleeping spell on him, you thought I was evil last time and you were wrong, lets see how you do when I really am evil." I snarled before setting down the professor and vanishing out the door.
Buffy's POV
We are Giles place talking about Faith and what to do since Giles had just gotten the call that she was awake when the door was suddenly kicked in. jumping up thinking it was a demon, I was quickly stunned into stillness. There was faith and she was carrying someone. For a moment I thought it was a dead body but I recognized him. It was the professor, the one that we all thought faith had killed. I couldn't help noticing that faith looked like crap, she was so skinny and frail looking and I could feel the guilt building inside me. When faith spoke I couldn't believe what I was being told, she never killed him. I wanted to follow when faith disappeared, I needed to explain, I needed well I didn't even know what I was going to do but my legs gave out on me and I ended up on the floor. All my friends and my boyfriend rushed towards me but I shook them off and raised to my feet. Turning to Giles, I waited for him to take control since I couldn't seem to be able to think past the words Faith had said.
"we need to take the spell of the professor, maybe he will have the answers that we need" Giles finally says after he managed to gather himself. It was a very tense ten minutes while Will and Giles found the spell and woke the man.
"who are you people?" he immediately asks upon waking, he begins backing up quickly. We quickly explained who we were and what had happened as far as we knew. I however was not expecting the reaction that we got.
"you morons!, she saved my life and you tried to kill her, you took away eight months of our lives" he bellowed at us looking as if he wanted to kill us. I was about to try to calm the man but Riley beat me to it. " Hey don't talk to them like that, that bitch is a psycho killer" he demanded back. The professor just shook his head.
" if you could tell us what you know, it would help us understand" Giles calmly states after sending Riley a stern look. The professor sighed and began his story,
" Faith showed up at my place and explained to me about the mayor and his plans. She explained that she was working with the mayor to try to protect the innocents. She knew that I needed to disappear so we came up with a sleeping spell. She was supposed to come wake me as soon as things were done, but well you know the end of that story" he ended with sneer to all of us.
"innocents, we were innocent and she had no issue trying to kill us!" willow exclaimed in anger.
"no if she wanted to kill us, she would have" I whispered as the truth set in. I wanted to crawl into a hole and cry but I can't. I have to find her and fix this. The apartment was silent and I needed to get out of here.
"Buffy wait we need a plan, the police are looking for her, also the council should be in town by now." Giles quickly states and that's when I noticed I was by the doorway. I must have acted on my thoughts of wanting to leave.
"plans, why she still killed that first guy and she just swore to get revenge, just let the council get her" Riley demanded.
"You have no idea what you're talking about, Finch was an accident and I tried to kill her and feed her to my ex vampire boyfriend" I state before I realized he didn't know about Angel. I watched as the shock then anger crossed his face, Riley then stormed out of the apartment. Sitting back down we proceeded to plan on how to fix this, not that I believed it would matter to the girl I tried to destroy.
Riley's POV
Storming out of the apartment, I headed towards school I needed to tell Dr. Welsh about the new slayer that's around. I needed to protect Buffy and everything was fine until this Faith came along. Arriving at our base, I headed directly to Dr. Welsh and told her everything I know.
"This is good news Finn, I've wanted to study the slayer in more detail but I knew I couldn't with Buffy. You said she just woke up from a coma, do you think a team could pick her up?" Dr. Welsh asks and I feel excited because this would take care of everything.
"Yes mam, she looked weak, I'll go get a team together" I answer before rushing off to talk to the guys, I'll show Buffy. I may not be a vampire but I can take a slayer and I can protect her.
Faith's POV
Leaving Giles I had no idea where to go, so I headed back to the cave. I needed to rest and eat some food I noticed as my stomach made itself known. Since I had no money and I was a wanted fugitive I guess I have to go back to my old ways; dumpster diving. Twenty minutes later I was fed and getting comfortable on the cave floor. I don't know how long it was but I woke as I heard people enter the cave. Guessing that it wasn't a fluke I prepared to fight as best I could without a weapon. Two canisters flew at me and I dropped to the floor. I may not know what they were but I knew I didn't want to be hit by them. Unfortunately these things emitted an electric field and I felt shock after shock enter my body. Ten men rushed into the room and I forced my body to respond and rolled out of the way of the darts they were shooting at me. I could tell they were human so I couldn't kill them but hurt them oh yes. Moving as fast as I could I grabbed the first guy and threw him at his partners knocking two others down. Feeling a sharp pain at the back of my neck I knew I had to work fast, between the electricity and what I sure was a tranq to my neck I was going to be out very soon. Looking around I spotted a guy with no mask. It was the guy, Buffy's guy, great I guess Buffy decided it was easier to just finish the job. Using the last of my energy I smash my fist into his face and down I go.
Buffy's POV
"Well the police are only looking for my so-called killer, so I'll go to the station and make an excuse about what happened and that will take care of that part. But I wanted nothing more to do with you people so I'm leaving" the professor states and leaves before anyone has a chance to say anything.
"What about the council" Xander asks, and I know that none of us know what we are supposed to do in this situation. We have the council out for Faith's blood and Faith out for revenge that we all deserve.
"we need to find Faith and try to reason with her, it's the only way we'll be able to help with the council" Giles says before taking off his glasses and cleaning them.
"I'm going to go look for her" I state standing and turn to head out.
"Do you want us to go with you?" Will asks but I know that I needed some time so I shook my head and left before anyone else could stop me.
Faith's POV
The first thing I noticed as I woke up was that I hurt and I hurt bad, the second was that sterile smell. " Wake up Bitch, it's time to play" A voice says to my left. Forcing my eyes open, I'm blinded from the light but my eyes adjust and I noticed I'm hanging from the roof by my tied hands and my legs were tied together. Using the little strength I managed to gather I tried to break the ropes.
"Ha-ha, keep wasting your time, those ropes are not going to break no matter what you do" the voice said again and I whipped my head around. I felt pride when I notice the black eye and broken nose, it was Buffy's boy toy. " Aw the stupid human thinks he's won, I'm going to love hurting you, over and over again" I mock and enjoy as his face twists in anger. "You may be needed for the moment, but no one said anything about some punishment" He smiles before moving and allowing five more guys in to the room they have me in. Before I can say anything fists and feet are smashing in to me everywhere. I may be a slayer but this abuse was breaking bones I felt them snapping. I refused to scream, they would get nothing from me. I'm not sure how long its been but they've taken a lot of blood and samples and Riley and his crew came by often to give me my so-called punishment. So far I've managed to keep my word and not give them the satisfaction of screaming, which I know drives them crazy. Hearing my cage open I force my swollen eyes open and watch as Riley enters.
" I have a surprise for you, the Dr. has plans for you." he says with a large smile. What I wouldn't give to wipe that smile off his face. Then I felt the hairs stand up at the back of my neck, the just brought a chained vampire into my cell. "Do you know what happens when a slayer is turned, no well we want to find out" Riley says as he grabs my hair and yank's my hair back.
" You can't do this" I yell as the soldier controlling the vampire allows him free. I feel his fangs pierce my neck and my blood leaving me.
"Yes I can" Riley whispers and a scream tears through my body as everything goes dark.
Buffy's POV
It's been a month since Faith had shown up and I can't seem to find her. I followed the tingle's of my fellow slayer but I can't seem to pinpoint where she is. Every night I go out looking but between Adam the freak experiment and other demons. I just haven't had any luck and to top it off Riley has been acting really weird. Deciding to go to my mom's earlier was a smart move, I didn't realize how much I had missed my mom lately. Now I was in my room trying to sleep, when it hit me. I could force a slayer dream and that I could talk to Faith that way. Closing my eyes I concentrate everything I have on Faith, I just have to hope that Faith was asleep. Feeling myself drift away I find myself standing on a cliff I've never seen.
"Here to gloat B, didn't know that was your style of course I've come to realize your capable of a lot more than I thought" a familiar voice sneers from my right. Whipping around I'm horrified by what I see, Faith she had bruises on top of bruises, cuts everywhere and it looks like almost every bone in her body was sticking out obviously broken.
" oh my god, Faith what happened" I cry out resisting the urge to run to her. Mostly it was fear of hurting her more although a small part of me admitted to myself she wouldn't accept me even if I did move towards her. Faith just stares at me like she can't believe what she just heard, I guess she found what she was looking for since she turned away from me and took the last steps to the edge of the cliff. I watch as she turns and faces me and starts hysterically laughing, it scares me more than anything ever has. Something was seriously wrong and I knew things were about to become even worse.
" You really don't know do you" she forces out as her laughter develops an insane twinge to it.
"Know what, you're not making any sense, please let me help you" I plead trying to get Faith to listen, inside though I'm panicking.
"No helping me now, far to late, your far to late. Your boy toy made sure of that" Faith says and before I can even process what she had just said. Faith stops laughing and a smile graces her beaten face and before my eyes her wounds heal and then she raises her arms and falls over the edge.
"Noooo" I yell jerking up in my bed, it takes a moment for me to realize I wasn't dreaming anymore. As soon as I do I'm out my bed, dressed and running full tilt to Giles. Knocking on the door as loud and as fast as I can I wait impatiently for him to answer. I had just finished explaining and Giles looked as horrified as I'm feeling right now.
"Do you have a plan?" Giles asks like he already knows I do.
"Yes, I need you to gather the gang and get a truth spell prepared, I'm going to trick Riley into meeting us here" I state already grabbing my cell to start my part. I keep one eye on Giles and noticed he hasn't moved. "Are you sure, this will mean the end of your relationship" Giles says staring at me like he was trying to read my mind. "It was over the minute he laid a hand on Faith" I say before hitting talk even though I knew he was about to say some thing else. Ten minutes later the gang arrived and everything was explained, Ten minutes after Riley knocked on the door. As soon as the door was closed I grabbed him by his neck and pinned him to the door.
"B-Buffy, Whats going on" Riley stammers and I feel the sudden need to snap his neck. Almost like my friends knew what I was thinking, they grabbed him and tied him to a chair. "What hell are you guys doing" Riley demanded and before anyone could say anything, Spike who had been sitting in the corner stands up a smashes his fist into Riley's face. I noticed even with the pain from his chip Spike had a smile on his face. No moved to stop him and it was then that I noticed the first true look of fear on Riley's face. "Faith ring any bell" I say doing my best to hide the rage bubbling just under the surface, I'm pretty sure I failed. "I-I have no idea what you're talking about" Riley lies and I know not one person in this room believed him.
"Don't worry, I'll help you remember" Willow says before casting the spell. It looked like Riley was trying to fight it but there was nothing he could really do about it.
"Where is Faith" I demand as soon as the spell takes hold and I know I'm kinda shocking my friends with my actions. But they didn't know, they didn't see.
"We have her locked in a cell" He answers against his will and I can see it in his eyes, the hatred.
It doesn't take long before we know exactly where she is, one sleeping spell later and Riley is taken care of for now.
Faith's POV
When I woke again I could hear, smell, see, and feel things I wasn't able to before. I noticed I was in a cell with glass as one wall, I knew I was surrounded by demons. At least I wasn't tied up anymore and all my wounds must have healed when I was turned. Almost like it was called by my thoughts I felt the demon crawling trying to get free and with it came the burning hunger that I knew wasn't for food. Fighting my sense of panic and disbelief that I still have my soul I fight with all my might to push the demon back down. Now that I gained some control, I was able to think of the dream I just had. When Buffy had first shown up I was furious but a part of me, the part the was stupid enough to fall in love with Buffy in the first place was happy to see her. Yes that's right the big bad Faith fell for the goody two shoes slayer, but if I was completely honest with myself if there was one person I would want in my head as I was dying, Buffy would always be my first choice. I don't really want to think anymore it only leads to more pain, so I decided to get up and put my new body through its paces and see what it can do. It was awhile later that the first weird thing happened, All the lights went out and I could hear the soldiers and doctors panicking and moving around. That's when I felt it, Buffy was here I could feel her more then I ever could, standing at the back of my cell I waited. A soldier appeared in front of my cell and I prepared to take him out as soon as he opened my cell. However the soldier in question raised his mask and I've never been so happy to see Xander in my life. My door opened and I moved faster than Xander could even see to exit my personal hell. "You're in a lot better shape then we thought" Xander states looking confused.
"You have no idea, tell me the plan" I reply as I knock a soldier out as we move through this place. Xander just leads me to a pipe, saying everyone will meet us at the end. Sighing I move faster than he can see again, pick him out and run out of the tunnel. Not even two seconds later I'm stopping in front of the group with Xander back on his two feet.
"How did you do that" A woman who I've never met demands as she runs over to check on Xander.
"Anya, we don't have time for this right now we need to get to the apartment"Giles rushes as everyone gets into the two cars they brought for the occasion. I ended up in the back seat of Giles car beside Buffy.
Sitting here beside the very people who tried to kill me, I can't help but find sick humor in who was responsible for my release.
" How are you healed?" Buffy whispered and I could almost taste her desire to touch me and make sure her eye's weren't deceiving her. Ignoring her question for the second as we all exited the cars. I watched as everyone entered the apartment. They all turned around staring confused as I stayed just outside the door. Looking at all their faces I tried to pull up all the hate I held for these people but I can't seem to find the strength, I'm just so tired.
"do you know what happens when a vampire slayer is turned by a vampire" I softly state as I tried to ignore the burning in the back of my throat. Slowly understanding then horror crosses all their faces.
"Before you all try to kill me again, you should know I still have my soul, I still have my slayer and now I have a fucking demon" I say calmly with no judgment.
Buffy's POV
I can only stand here staring at Faith, hoping, praying this was some sick joke. Looking into Faith's eyes all I can see is defeat, a look I've never seen on Faith's face before and I knew this was no joke. Tears come to her eyes and I know she won't let them fall. Thank god for Giles as he seemed to snap out of it faster than the rest of us.
"come in Faith, please" Giles calmly invites and vanishes to the kitchen, only to return to living room with two bottles of scotch. Faith was inside now leaning up against the door and Giles just walks up to her and hands her a bottle before taking a swing of the other.
"You haven't fed yet, how are you still in control" Anya blurts out causing the rest of us to snap out of our daze.
"A vampire slayer, who the hell turned a vampire slayer" Spike demanded as he came out of the bathroom where Riley was still knocked out and tied up.
"Shut up Spike, Faith there is some a b-blood in the fridge" I stumble out before leading the now turned slayer into the kitchen. I noticed immediately that Faith was refusing to meet my eyes, not that I blamed her.
"I'm really sorry Faith, I-I don't know how to help, please just tell me" I whispered to prevent the others from hearing. Faith still avoiding my eyes just gulped down more scotch, before passing me and opening the fridge. I could tell as soon as Faith smelled the blood as her eyes turned a glowing purple and her fangs became apparent, I've never seen anything like it, the was no bumps like regular vamp's have. Faith grabbed three blood bags before turning away from me, she must have been starving as they disappeared within seconds. I felt tears well up in my eyes as she wiped furiously at her face to clean the spilled blood. Faith slowly turns around and finally meets my eyes, I know she could see the tears in my eyes but I can't seem to push them back. As the first tear fell down my check I was shocked when Faith stepped closer and wiped away my tear.
"Don't cry B, at least I'm still here" she whispers before turning around and heading to the living room. She's right but I would give anything to take back the last year and fix things.
Faith's POV
I can't believe I just did that, once again my feelings are causing me to act in way I never would if it was someone else. I spent the next little bit giving a quick summary of what went down while I was being held captive.
"You are very strong to have survived, I am now your best friend" the woman I now know as Anya tells me as she glares at everyone daring them to object. At first I'm taken back but then I smell it, this woman use to be a demon, and I figured it out.
Then I started laughing and I'm startled to realize that it was mostly real.
"only if you promise to continue to be incredibly blunt, it's funny as shit" I say as I stop laughing.
"Deal, see Xander at least someone appreciates my honesty" Anya states causing Xander to quickly assure the woman that he too appreciates her honesty. Everyone else was just giving me a weird look. Sighing a little as the booze and blood did it's job, for the first time since before my coma I was able to relax, I could feel the strength coursing through by body. Of course someone had to ruin my moment.
"What are we going to do with soldier boy" Spike says with a smirk like he knows he was starting something, I watched the others closely as they all became tense.
"Spike shut up" Xander yells as he rises to his feet and I knew it was him, the pathetic human that I will be putting an end to. Standing and running to the bathroom before anyone even thought to move. I grabbed him and threw him onto the floor in the living room. By this time everyone was standing and I knew the peace was about to end.
"Wake him up" I say turning to the nervous witch also known as Willow, who looked at Buffy completely lost.
"Faith, I know your angry, you have every right to be, but you can't kill him" Buffy says looking very uncomfortable.
"If I wanted him dead at this moment, he would be, I think it's time for him to see exactly what he created" I reply still staring at willow waiting for her to do what I said.
"Ya, a quick death would be too easy" Anya pipes up but become silent as everyone besides me glares at her.
"Actually I don't plan on killing him at all, it would ruin all my fun" I reply before flashing Anya a smile. I wanted to feel offended at all the shocked looks but I knew if they knew what I was planning they wouldn't be shocked.
"Really, cause we wouldn't blame you if you wanted to" Xander states before realizing what he said and slapping a hand over his mouth.
"Are you trying to talk me into killing him" I say with humor.
"No!, we are just confused" Buffy says staring at me like she couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Wake him up, I'm going to put the fear of Faith into him and then let him go" I say telling the complete truth, well kinda.
"Ok" Willow says before saying the counter spell. I feel my face slipping into my demonic face as the waste of space starts to awaken. I barely notice as everyone but Buffy takes a step back I crouch down beside my victim.
"Wake up Bitch, it's time to play" I greet him with the same line he used on me, focusing completely on Riley.
"W-What" he stutters and I feel my beast purr in pleasure at the fear I could taste in the air.
"I told you little boy, you are not capable of killing me" I say and I know I'm starting to sound insane but I can't seem to find it within myself to give two fucking shits.
"Buffy, don't let her do this" He begs looking to his girlfriend for help.
"You caused this now you get to deal with the consequences" Was Buffy's only reply. I watched as he scanned everyone's faces looking for someone who would help.
"She's a vampire, you can't let this monster kill me" He yells trying to convince someone to help. When no one responds he turns his terrified eyes back to me. As soon as we make eye contact I slam my fist into his ribs and everyone can hear most of his ribs break, knowing that this pussy would scream, I shoved a towel into his mouth to prevent his screams from traveling.
"Faith" Buffy warns but I don't pay much attention.
"Awe, your ruining my fun Riley boy you screamed after the first hit, I at least didn't scream untill I had fangs in my neck and I was dying" I mock as Riley has trouble breathing.
"See everyone here was shocked to learn that I have no intention of killing you, no because every time you turn around, I'll be there. I'm going to destroy your life. You go to talk to someone I'll be there to scare them off. I swear to you right now as long as you're in sunnydale I'm going to destroy your life. You go after anyone innocent and I will kill you" I vow as I bring my dripping venomous fang close to his face. I then proceed to stand up, and shift back my human face.
"Fantastic, you don't have to kill him and your going to ruin his life, nice work besty" Anya says since she's the only one besides Spike that wasn't shocked at what I just said.
"Jeez, you just sounded like Angelus" Spike said before he suddenly found himself pinned to the wall.
" do not talk to me about that fucking vampire, because of him I lost the last eight months of my human life" I threaten as I released the chipped Vampire.
"Don't get your panties in a twist love, hate the twit myself" Spike states but I can smell his fear and it satisfied my anger. Walking over to the prone terrified human I ripped the ropes off his legs and hands and pulled him up by his shirt.
"Anybody got anything they want to say before I toss him out on his ass" I question the once again silent room. When everyone shook their heads, I turned, opened the door and threw the injured human on his ass.
"I'll see you when you get out of the hospital" I taunt before slamming the door. Turning around I could feel the fear flowing off everyone in the room, great.
"I think I should leave" I state grabbing my half empty scotch bottle and turning to leave. I got one step before Buffy was in front of me, and by that I mean she was so close I could feel her breath on my face.
"I'm not scared of you Faith, please don't go" She whispers as she reaches a shaking hand and places it on the side of my face, and before I can stop myself I feel myself leaning into her warm hand.
"I just need some time, I mean I died a couple of yesterday, I promise I won't leave town though" I promise before running out of the house. Once again I find myself running with nowhere to go, so I just let my feet carry wherever. Thankfully I know that the police will not be looking for me anymore, I have Faith that the professor took care of it, and no that was not a pun.
Buffy's POV
I could do nothing as Faith ran out the door and disappeared into the night, I wanted more than anything to fallow but I knew I couldn't push too much.
"I feel really bad, but I'm even more scared of her now" Xander states and I watch as Willow nodded in agreement.
"She doesn't hurt innocents and Riley did horrible things that I know she hasn't told, I saw the look in her eyes. Riley deserves everything he gets" I say before turning and heading out the door. Noticing that it had become day light I hoped that Faith had found shelter. Walking to my mom's I felt the tiredness creeping in since it's been about almost two day's with sleep. Walking in the door I knew that Faith was around since I could feel her so clearly now, taking the stair two at a time. Standing in front of my door I hesitate, what was I suppose to do, I couldn't fix this and it was breaking my heart. Suddenly it hits, the truth of what I've been feeling, what I think I've always felt. The reason I've been so hurt and angry; I'm in love with Faith. I feel a sudden sense of panic before it quickly passes, I know this is what was always meant to be. Opening my door I scan the room and quickly find Faith sitting in the corner hiding from the light. I rush over and close the curtains washing the room with shadows. "Faith" I softly call as I lean down in front of her, I don't think she could even hear me, her eyes were vacant. "oh Faith, come on" I whisper as I gently pull her into my arms and pulled us into a standing position. Noticing that we both really needed to clean up, I started walking and pulling Faith towards the bathroom.
Authors note: wow first time in years I've sat down and wrote something. Finally finding my way back
