Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Chapter 1
Goodbye my lover
One year later
Sunnydale
As Buffy does her usual sweep of Restfield Cemetery, she suddenly feels a presence behind her, an all to familiar one that gave her the tingles and, made the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end, with glee, that could only mean the one person she wanted the most and the one person she hated was watching her from the darkness, she already knew who it was but just in case she whipped out a stake and said in a natural tone that she could muster.
"Who's there? Show yourself"? She demanded the fear showing through her voice.
"Yo, B, I never knew you were that scared of me, jeez". Came that all too recognisable voice of the dark slayer, the voice she was not ready to hear, as she removes herself from her stalking place, in the darkness.
"Faith, I thought you were in prison, not out of it". Came Buffy's sharp voice, as she turns and punches Faith square in the face, knocking her to the ground, pinning her by the arms.
"B, I always knew you liked it on top". Whispered Faith, seductively, in her usual husky, yet sexy voice.
"I never knew you liked it on the bottom". Buffy whispered back in the same, but playful tone.
"Why are you here Faith? I thought you were on the road to redemption"? Said Buffy, still keeping Faith firmly pinned to the ground.
"I was brought here, by one of those slayer dreams, which were sent to me by the PtB". Faith answered truthfully, gazing up into Buffy's eyes, and getting lost in a sea of green.
"The what"? Buffy asked, looking into Faith's eyes and getting lost in a wave a chocolate goodness.
"The Powers that Be. The PtB". Faith replied, her chocolate eyes still firmly locked on the sea green ones losing themselves in her own.
"Buffy. Where are you honey"? Came shouts from the other end of the cemetery, announcing to Buffy of her boyfriends Riley's arrival.
Buffy clambering off of the dark slayer that was pinned beneath her, and grabbing her and hauling her to her feet, Faith rubbing her arm, trying to get the small blonde to losing the grip.
"I'm here honey". She said a little lower, so as not to attract any vampires near by. "And I found an unwanted guest". She added.
"Honey"? Faith whispers, in awed disappointment.
"Oh, I thought you had died on me again". Riley replied, drawing nearer and nearer to his girlfriend and the unwanted guest.
"Faith, what are you doing here"? Riley asked bitterly, stumbling to a stand still.
"Yo, R, I was just telling Blondie here, why I'm here. And I ain't gonna repeat myself, you got me". Faith replied with all the bitterness in her voice that she could muster.
"Behind you". Faith shouted as she dove at the oncoming vampires from behind Riley, diving in to action. There must have been a dozen of them with rather hungry and ferocious looks on their twisted, demonic faces.
As Buffy noticed Faith rip her arm out of her grip she dove into action, staking two vampires at once, Faith noticing that she didn't have any stakes dived at Buffy and whipped out a stake from Buffy's back pocket of her jeans, startling the small blonde, to wonder why the brunette would use such a giant, bold maneuver, because of moments before, Buffy gazed at the brunette not noticing at least five vampires advance on her, that the moment Faith touched Buffy she remembered the dream, the pleasure of her touch was overwhelming that she was so entranced at the brunettes touch, but was snapped back to reality by a punch to the face. As she swung back into action and staked three vampires that only two were left, Faith dived to her side and swung into action, as they staked each their vampires at the same time, turned round at they both gave each other a high five and both said together.
"Synchronised slayage". Then the thought of what had happened hit them and they took a step back from each other.
"Could you have shouted any louder, I don't think the vamps in Cleveland heard you"? She asked angrily turning to her boyfriend.
Buffy remembering Faith still standing behind her turned round and done something to cause Riley and Faith mouth to hang open in disbelief, she hugged Faith and whispered in her ear.
"Thanks". In barely a whisper that only slayer hearing could pick up on, Seductively.
Faith whispered back in the same way Buffy whispered in her to her, her stomach did flips as she felt Buffy warm breath tickle her neck, and which sent warm shivers up her spine.
"You're welcome B". As Buffy breaks the embrace, Riley watches Faith jealously.
"I thought you were in prison Faith"? Said Riley, very pointedly on prison.
"As I've just told Blondie here, I'll explain everything, when we get back to the house, and once I've made a quick stop to get something to eat, doesn't slaying just make you hungry and ". Faith replied, smiling at Buffy.
"Yeah, sometimes". Buffy whispered, as she blushed, Faith laughed as she caught what Buffy had said.
Los Angeles
"Angel, Angel, I know there's still a part of you in there, please". Gunn pleaded to Angel.
"If I've told you before, I've told you a hundred times. It's Angelus". He replied with a smile as he watched Gunn pleading with him, backing the muscle back into the corner of the main hall of the hotel.
"I lost my soul, in Darla, who knew I still loved her"? Angelus laughed as he said the words, and as he grabbed Gunn by the head and he said.
"Say your last words, pretty boy. Whoops too late". Said Angelus, as her Gunn's neck and heard the sweet sound that was a snap.
"Now, that I missed.
Sunnydale
After they had stopped off and got Faith something to eat, they walked back to Buffy's house, in total silence. As Riley bid goodnight to Buffy reluctantly, not saying a word to Faith, he kissed Buffy goodnight, and left the two girls to talk.
"This feels weird, do you feel it too"? Buffy asked Faith.
"Yeah, but it's a nice kinda weird". Faith replied smiling at Buffy, silence followed.
"So what's been happening with you then"? Buffy finally breaking the silence.
"Stuck in the poky. You"? Faith asked back.
"Dead". Buffy replied.
A tear slipped down Faith's face as she herd the word dead escape the little blondes lips. Buffy wiped it away softly, with her thumb, and she started to caress the brunettes face, so as not to let anymore tears escape the brunette.
"Don't cry Faith. I'm here now, ain't I"? Buffy said, smiling warmly at her counter part slayer.
"That's not the point. I knew something was wrong, I felt empty a few months ago, like another part of me had died, disappeared off the face of the earth, and then a few months later it was back and burning like it was never gone, it gave me my life back". Said Faith, more tears streaming down her face. Buffy wiped them away, the best she could, and put her hand under the other slayers chin and lifted her face up, to face her, so she could look into her eyes.
"Faith, do you feel that"? Buffy asked, as she felt the sudden urge to kiss Faith tears away, but refrained from doing it.
"I-I-I feel like that every time I'm-I'm, and-and-and…" Faith stopped as she looked into Buffy's brilliant sea green eyes.
"Buffy, there's something that I need to tell you". Faith said, turning her face away from Buffy's, before she got to entranced that she would kiss the small blonde.
"What is it? You can tell me anything". Replied Buffy a weary look on her face.
"I-I've been here a few more days than I have been letting on, and I saw something that you might not like, so I thought I should show you instead. When I was patrolling, a couple of nights ago, I saw Riley, going into a old, run down house, I recognised him from my brief encounter with him, so I followed him in, and went up the stairs after him, I can't tell you now, I'll have to show you". Faith finished, and grabbed Buffy, and dragged her out the house and up the street towards the old run down, abandoned building, and in the door and up the stairs towards a door. Faith looked in first, and then grabbed Buffy and hauled her to the door, that was ajar the slightest, and gasped in horror at the sight that lay before her in the room she was looking into.
"This is what I was telling you about, B, I hate seeing you hurt, but I also want you to know what he's been doing for the past year, or so, when you died he started coming here, I saw it in a dream, so whatever happens now, I'll always be here for you". Said Faith, as she peers past Buffy to the sight that she saw, Riley was sitting, on an old chair and a Vampire was sucking on his arm.
"Harder, bite harder". Riley said to the female vampire sucking on his arm.
Buffy looked at Faith and saw the pain and the sorrow in her chocolate eyes, for Buffy, and Buffy noticed something else, for the first, she realised what that glint was that she could never figure out, she saw love as well. Buffy turned and walked down the hall silently, not saying a word, and not doing anything, just lost, until she heard his voice.
"Buffy"? He said, from behind her, making her spin on the spot.
"I want you out of my life Riley, I want you gone, and I don't want you to ever come near me, my family, or my friends, just keep away". Said Buffy, with all the hate and anger in her body, which that she could muster.
"I love you Buffy, I love you, and I'm not going to stop loving you". Said Riley pain and worry seeping through his words.
"I don't want to hear it Riley". Buffy spat the words at him.
"I was going to tell you tomorrow, I'm leaving, Buffy the Initiative want me back, and I'm going back, I know you don't love me but, I would have stayed if you gave me a reason, but you just pushed me away, so I just want to say three last words to you. Goodbye my love". As the last words left his lips Riley turned around and went back into the room he was in, he walked away forever.
