Faith's POV:
"So what you're telling me never?" I ask her as we were both tackled by some vamps. We were talkin about Xander and whether she had ever slept with him. I don't know why it had sprung into my mind but it had. I guess I'm just curious, you know since he is her best friend. I know back in Boston the one person I really and truly considered my best friend was one of the people I screwed. Of course you know it never really ended our relationship because she-yes it was a girl- she wanted it just as much as I did. She was younger than me, I'd say that I was about 16 or 17 the last time I saw her and that would have made her 14 or 15. I met her when we were young. We lived next to each other and our parents partied together a lot. I was always the strongest of us because well I was the oldest, and both our parents were druggy alcoholics who beat us every night so we looked after each other. Once I was old enough to know that I wasn't just into driving stick I took her on a few of my adventures and she became gay to, or bi actually because we both still did guys if they were the only thing we could find. We were partners in crime, yeah it's not only slaying that gets my hot it's crime too. I'm not saying that I live for it, but it was certainly a rush, and we were put in juvie quite a few times for petty larceny, but nothing major. Anyway back on track to the whole Xander thing, "Faith, really, now is not the time," she said struggling against her own vamp. "I'm just curious. Never ever?" I ask her again. "Come on really. All this time and not even once? All the late night patrolling, and heavy duty sweating, you never put in for a little after hour fuck every now and then?" I ask and see her flinch at the crude word 'fuck'. "Thanks for the visual babe, and no. I love Xander, I just don't love Xander," she says as she dusts herself off because we finished those two that had been attacking us while we were discussing this. "Besides I think it ruins friendships to do that stuff," she said. "Nah it doesn't believe me," I said thinking about Casey and what she could possibly be getting herself into. I had no idea that was on her way, here. "Besides you think too much," I say to her.
Buffy's POV:
I don't know what that's about, maybe I should ask later but right now there is still one vamp out there, "Hey... there is one more," I say to her. "How do you know?" she asks me, "I think too much," I reply smirking as I follow the footprints. "Ok on the count of three," I say, "One," and there she goes with no plan what so ever, she is gonna get herself killed one of these days. She runs and flips over the tombstone and she comes face to face with the vamp. It throws her into the wall hard but she gets back up. I run to her when he draws his sword then he looses his interest in her and swing his swords at me. I stick my stake up and it cuts it in half. I look down at it and curse myself. I hit it and it got pissed, I knocked the swords away and it get really pissed. It pushed me against to tomb and right as he is about to bite me Faith stakes him, "Nicely diverted, B," she says as she waits for me to high five her. "Diverted?" I ask her, "That was me fighting for my life Miss Attention Span," I say. "This isn't a tuber wear party, it's a little hard to plan," she tells me. "Count of three isn't a plan, its Sesame Street," I say to her, "Hey they're toast and we're here so it couldn't have bee to bad right?" she asks me. "No Faith. That's not the point. I have plans, and I think too much because I want to live, I want you to live. You can't jump in blind, that's how other slayers get killed," I say to her. "When are you gonna get that we are not like other slayers, B?" she asks me. "Maybe when you show me another one," she said. "Can we just stop fighting, we should tell Giles about this. Maybe if we grab the weapons," I say and turn around but they are gone. I look at her and we head back to her place. My mom is gonna let me stay there tonight.
Gile's POV:
I'm gonna kill this bloody man if someone does not come in soon and stop him from talking. God I really hope I was not this annoying when I was his age.
Buffy's POV:
I walk in to find Giles about to kill some guy who looks strangely just like him. "Hello Buffy," said Giles as I look at the new guy weirdly. I don't like him and he has only given me his name, now he wants me to tell him about patrol, who does he think he is? "Vampire. Killed 'em," I say then look at Giles. I scoffed at the look he gives me. "Uh one of them had sword, he wasn't with the other two I don't think," I say to Wesley, I've already forgotten his last name. "Sword?" asks the over excited watcher. He goes rummaging about and pulls out a book. He read the passage. He tells me what I'm gonna do and I scoff, "I will?" I ask him. "Are you not used to being given orders?" he asks me. "Well whenever Giles sends me on a mission he says please, and afterwards I get a cookie," I say excitedly, "Ah well..." saved by Faith, "You must be Faith," says Wesley.
"New Watcher?" Faith asks. "New Watcher," me and Giles say together. "Screw that," she says and walks out. "Now why didn't I just say that?" I ask them and Giles gives me the look and tells me to go get her. As I walk past I look at him, "I'm the good slayer. Don't expect to see much of her unless the world is ending," I say then head off. I talk to her about it and she bails on me. Totally typical of her, god she makes me mad. And watch I won't here from her for days and she'll pop back up wanting to have sex as soon as possible.
Buffy's POV:
I'm looking for the amulet when my party is crashed by those Elemenati geeks. I jump in the tomb thing with a dead guy to hide from them since it was 6 against 1. I hear then leave and when I get out I run into Faith, "What are you doing? Hiding?" she asks me. "No looking for the amulet, I didn't expect them to be out full force, hence the hiding," I say to her dusting myself off. "Yeah well 6 against 2 now, so come on," she says and leads me away.
We walk out and watch them drop into a man hole. Faith is going in after them, "Wait. Stop. Think," I tell her. "No, no, no," she tells me. "It's a manhole. Your just gonna down there? That's your plan?" I ask her. "Who said anything about a plan? I don't know how many is down there, but I wanna find out. I'll know when I land, and if you don't come in after me I'm might die," she said knowing that was gonna get me.
Buffy's POV:
Last night was fun, and I get to yell at Wesley this morning. God Faith ad the major case of the hornies, it took forever to get all her energy out of her. Now I'm taking a chem. test when Faith appears in the window and opens it up, "Hey girlfriend," she said smirking at her. "You busy?" she asks me. She draws me a heart with a stake through it and I get up and go out the window following Faith ignoring Willow's protests about skipping.
We go kill this nest and then we go clubbing.
We are dancing all over each other; we might as well be having sex the way we are dancing. I'm rubbing my clit on her thigh and my hands are roaming all over her body. All the boys are dancing in awe around us until I see Angel out of the corner of my eyes trying to get my attention. I leave Faith not wanting to get her jealous and have her stake him, "Hey," I say to him, "Hey," he returns. "So is there a reason your watching me?" I ask him. "Yes-I mean no. I'm not watching you Buffy. I'm here to warn you. Balthazar," he starts but I cut him off, "Dead demon," I say to him, "Not as dead as you think. Word on the street puts him in a packing warehouse on Devereau," he said to me, "He's looking for," I cut him off, "his amulet, supposed to restore his strength. Don't worry I got the amulet," I say. "Yeah who has it?" he asked then Annoying Boy shows up and so does Faith to my displeasure she looks at me then Angel, "Oh man do I not want to know why my-," I elbow her in the stomach to show that Wesley was right there. Still haven't gotten to the part where we tell the gang about us, "why you are here," she finishes saving herself. Angel ignores her, "Where is the amulet?" he asks us all. Wesley looks at him, "Who are you?" he asked. Angel looked at Buffy, "A friend," Angel said and I heard Faith scoff but say nothing. "It's safe," says Wesley but I reach into his pocket and pull it out, "How did you know?" he asked me. "It pooches your jacket," I tell him. I look at Angel, "You will keep this safe till I ask for it back?" I ask. He nods and takes it from me. He walks out and I drag Faith out so we can go look for Balthazar leaving Wesley there quite confused.
Faith's POV:
We are walkin where lover boy told us to go, I haven't said a word to her and she knows why. I'm still pissed that she was talking to him. Or not so much as talking but, she could have at least let me known where she was and who she was with. And yes I've been told many times I have jealousy issues. We look through a window of a door that we hear noise coming from and we see one large demon and about 12 vamps. "Ok so 10 or 12 vamps, and one large demon in serious need of a stair master," she said. I nod, "I say we take em all. Hard and now," I saw looking for any excuse I can get to let out the anger that I've got inside from about 5 minutes ago. "We need al ittle more fire power than none," she says and I look around. I spot a sporting good store and smirk, "Too perfect," I say. "What?" she asks looking around. I point to it and she shakes her head, "Faith, no! You can't seriously be thinking about stealing," she says to me, "We'll bring them back, B. If they survive," I add. "Come on. I've done this before, piece of cake really," I tell her as I practically drag her across the street. I kick down the door and walk in, "Ah score," I say looking at all the incredibly sharp object. "Think they're insured?" she asked me. "Strangely," I say as I get the crossbow ready, "not my priority," I say. "When are you gonna get this B? Life for a slayer is very simple. Want," I say as I see some numchucks, "Take," I said as I broke the glass, "Have," I said as I stick them in my pocket. She's about to go get a knife when the cops show up with gun. "Drop the weapons," he says and Buffy does. I just stand there all defiant looking. "I said drop the weapons," he repeats to me. I do and he says, "Now spread em." I scoff, "You wish," I say. "Just cuff em," he says to the other guy. We are taken to the car and shoved inside. They start talkin to us about girl gangs and I'm like, "You wanna get out of here?" and when she looks at me like I'm crazy I say, Can't save the world while you're in jail," I counter. She finally slides down with me and then we push the metal that separates the back form the front into the cops and make them have a wreck. Once we are out she looks at me, "We should call 911," I sigh as I try to get the cuffs off, "5 people already have with the racket we made, and they're fine," I say pulling her away from the seen. I think she's mad at me, oh well she goes to sleep at her own house tonight.
Buffy's POV:
"You're quiet tonight," she says to me, "Yeah. I just want this over with," I say back. I don't want anything like last night to happen. I think to myself. We carry on like that for a few minutes till vamps jump out left a right then we go into serious slayer mode. I throw punches and kicks, and I receive some punches a kicks, it's the cycle. We finally get them dusted and move on down the street as fast as we can. Another one jumps out and we make quick work of him we continue until Alan Finch jumps out and I slam him against the dumpster, I get a good look at his face and see he's human, but Faith's stake is half way down already. I react fast, faster than I though was possible and kick the stake out of her hand, "Faith no!" I scream as I do so. "God B what the hell?" she asks me and I point to him, "He's human," I say. She looks horrified. She almost killed a human, I'd look horrified too, but the main thing is she didn't. "I-I didn't know," she said. "Its fine just be glad my reflexes are fast," I say to her and walk over to the guy knelling in front of him since I had kind of thrown him on the ground. "Who are you?" I ask him.
He looks uncertain but answer, "Alan Finch, Deputy Mayor." Faith scoffs, "Tell me; why is the Deputy Mayor out in the bad part of town, this late at night?" she asks him. "I-I was looking for the slayers," he said, "Well you found us. In all our slayery goodness, now what do you want," I ask him. He looks at us, "He will ascend to ultimate power; the dedication is tonight. The world will end in his wake. Stop him before Gradu-" suddenly an arrow shoots down right in his heart, "No," I scream and look for where it came from but no one was there. "What was that all about B?" asked Faith. "I don't know but we gotta go tell Giles, and Giles Jr.," she said rolling her eyes. "But we should call 911" I say to her. "We will later but come on it's not safe, cops will be hear any minute," she says and drags me off. When we are away I go jump over a fence and she follows me. We go down an alley until Angel steps out, "Buffy," he says, "I just went to the warehouse... they got Giles," he tells me. My face lights up in shock and anger. "Those sons of bitches," says Faith. Angel looks at her, "Come on. Let's go," he says and she stops him, "Where do you think your going?" she asked him. "I'm going to help Giles, believe it or not, you need help with this Faith," he says to her and she glares at him. I have to intervene or I know there will be body parts flying, "Look, we are all on the same side. We can work together if you two can put aside your testosterone for one night," I say. "Hey B, I got no testosterone ok. That's soul boy over there," she says to me as I drag them both off.
Faith's POV:
We watch form the shadows as Wesley tries to rat us out, and Giles tries to save his ass. Maybe we should tell the Council what fine young traitor they have working for them. "The man who has my amulet, what is his name?!" screams the demon in the jacuzzi.
"His name is Angel," said Angel as he jumps down from the darkness and starts beat everything in sight. I look at Buffy, "Got to say, he knows how to make dramatic entrances," I say and jump after him knocking a sword out of one of the vamps hands and I start cutting off heads left and right.
Buffy jumps down and kills two then uses their swords to but Giles's ropes away.
Finally we've got all the vamps gone and Buffy electrocutes daddy demon and it looks like he's dead until his eyes pop open, "Slayer, when he rises, you'll wish I killed you all," and then he dies. "Ok so that's the second time tonight somebody or something has talked about a certain thing coming to power. I don't know about you guys but it's getting a little old," I say.
Faith's POV:
I'm standing in my bathroom trying to get the blood out of my tank top. I'm still a little rattled. If it hadn't of been for Buffy I'd be a killer. A cold blooded killer. Now yeah I've killed things before but that's what they were things. I've never killed a human. I've came pretty close to killing one of my step dads but not as close as I came last night. I hear a knock at the door and I walk over and open it to see Buffy, "Hey B," I say automatically turning into happy and carefree Faith. "Hey," she says back. She follows me into the bathroom where I continue to scrub the tank top. "How are you doing?" she asks me. I shrug my shoulders, "Five by five," I say, "Can't say that for the guy, but whatever," I add. She comes over and puts a hand on my shoulder. God we are gonna have one of those sappy moments she loves so much. "Faith you know it wasn't your fault," she tells me and I nod, "Yeah B. I was there. I pretty much know it wasn't me who killed him. It could have been, but it wasn't so I'm all good. Look was there a point to this visit?" I ask her.
Buffy's POV:
She is shutting me out again. This is so not gonna go well. Now she's just getting rude, "Yeah Faith. I came to see if my girlfriend was ok after she nearly killed somebody. Sorry for caring, next time I won't bother," I say to her. "There won't be a next time," she said to me. I look at her, "We are fighting a war Faith. The way you fight there will probably be a lot of next times," I say to her as I walk out the door. I don't know what cause my sudden outburst but I knew I had to fix it, just not now.
Faith's POV:
What the hell is she on? I lay the shirt out to dry and slump on my bed. Oh well I'll talk to her later about it, right now I just want to sleep. And that's what she does, she sleeps.
