It wasn't long after Faith died that a new slayer was called. Neither Nina
nor Buffy attempted to find her; they both just lived out their lives. They
knew one was around, and also knew they would see her soon enough, but they
didn't care. Buffy like Nina, had a lot of remorse after killing Faith, but
not as much as Nina. Nina could hardly sleep at night anymore, and spent
much of her time with Spike. He was the only person she could stand; the
only person that seemed to even care for more then a day that Faith was
gone. At night, or anytime really, if Nina did fall asleep, she would see
her, Faith in her sleep. She could see their fight all over again; hear
Faith's last words whispered in her ear. After about 2 months of these
dreams she couldn't take it anymore, she wished she could go back to that
night, that week even, and help Faith. She could tell Faith about the
watcher's council, what they planned to do, and how bad she, Nina, wanted
to help Faith. How bad she wanted Faith to come back to her and Buffy's
side of the line. How even though it might not seem as fun, it could be.
She sat there, on October 31st, under the full moon just outside Spike's
crypt, praying to get a second chance. All of a sudden something went
through her, she felt it, it was like an electric charge. She knew
something had happened, something powerful, and she knew tomorrow would be
different, in many ways.
