Faith's POV
As the darkness begins to fade, I feel the power coursing all through my body, like electricity running just under the surface. Searching within myself I try to figure out what has changed, panicking slightly when I don't feel the demon's cage, I begin searching frantically. Then I feel it, there was no more cages, I can feel both The Slayer and the demon's desires within my own.
Opening my eyes I can't believe what I see, colors were so much more vibrant, I could see the dust particle's floating in the air. Shifting slightly I notice that I'm being cradled in someones arms, and with the crazy tingle's I'm getting, it could be no one but Buffy. Looking up I swear I feel my heart take a beat, I've always thought Buffy was beautiful but with my new site I couldn't even think of a word to describe her now.
"B, time to wake up" I call softly bringing the sleeping slayer out of her dreams, I smile as she blinks sleepily.
"Your awake, I was so worried" Buffy quickly tells me before hugging me tighter.
"We want her, take her" I hear in my mind scaring the shit out of me, I didn't think I would be hearing god damn voices in my head. Ignoring them for the time being I break away from Buffy and rise to my feet. I'm starving and Buffy was smelling way too good.
"What's wrong, are you okay" Buffy questions frantically rising to her feet as well.
"I need to feed" I simply respond before backing up, trying to get away from Buffy's scent.
"Okay, there's blood in the mini fridge" she tells me motioning to the mini fridge behind me. Flashing over to the fridge faster than ever before I grab a blood bag, but I could feel the Slayer part of me rising up in anger as I brought the blood closer. This blood didn't even feel appetizing, this is not what I need.
"Bloody hell, what happened here" I hear behind me and then I smelled it, blood and blood that I wanted no that I needed.
"Spike" I say before flashing over to the confused vamp and sinking my fangs deep into his neck , drinking the blood as fast as I can. Part of me hears Buffy yelling at me to stop, but I was so hungry, I feel her trying to pull me away but Buffy was no match for me anymore . Once I have my fill I pull away, reveling in the blood coursing through my body.
" What's going on here" a voice demands from the door way and I turn to face the demanding ex-watcher.
"Turns out I don't want human blood anymore, no we only want supernatural blood" I respond with no small amount of humor. I watch as Spike starts to wake back up and I know he's going to be pissed and the best part was Spike won't be able to do shit about it.
"What the hell just happened" he questions in a very weak tone, he's lucky he's been helping out the scoob's or I would have drained him till he turned to dust.
"Breakfast" I answered with a laugh, I think my vampire side has made me even more psychotic than I was before. Calmly walking to the mini fridge I throw Spike a blood bag.
"I need to speak to Faith alone, if you two will wait up front" Giles says not taking his eyes off me, and I resist the urge to smile as I feel the fear poring off the man.
"What?, why?" Buffy asks but relents when I give her a reassuring nod.
"We're not finished here" Spike threatened, but Buffy just pushed him out the door then followed him through.
"Spit it out, I can smell your fear from here" I tell the man seeing as he was too busy staring to start the conversation.
"No one person should have as much power as you now possess" was the calm response as he slowly moves towards me. Suddenly I knew what the issue was, Giles is scared of what we are now capable of. With this realization I feel my companions raising in anger and I was not feeling so calm myself.
" You've judged me before without giving me a chance, are you telling me you've learned nothing" I state watching closely as he continued to move closer.
"This has nothing to do with the past, you have issues and add that with all this power and unknowns, well I think we have an issue" he explained and I decide that I will give him one chance or I will deal with him. Like I told my companions, it might be selfish but for now on I take care of us first.
"Are you concerned that I might lose my soul?, or are you concerned I might just choose to go evil?" I question as I spot the stake the man was trying to hide, it's a good thing I know how much he means to Buffy but that will only matter for so long.
"Both to be honest, you picked the mayor before" he says and I can't help the angry growl that escapes me.
"I am neither good or evil, you take one piece of me away and it will destroy us all. There is no evil vs good. There is only allies and enemies and I think it's time you decide once for all which group you wish to be in" I explain as Giles comes to a stop standing in front of me.
"The world is not black and white, it doesn't work that way" was the only response I get.
"I've lived my whole life with people that looked out for themselves and left me to rot. Not anymore I am not human, not slayer and not demon, you act against me or anyone I care about and that's the end, I think that's simple enough for you to grasp" I taunt slightly as I begin to lose my patients.
"Give me one reason why I shouldn't call the council and tell them of what happened here" he asks me as he moves as quickly as humanly possible to place a stake at my heart. Chuckling I grab the stake from his hand and move him so I'm holding him up by his neck.
"What's going on here" A voice demands and I turn my head to find the whole gang in the door way. Letting Giles go for the moment, I watch as he falls to the floor.
"Your watcher decided that I am to powerful and tried to stake me, but as you can see, he failed" I explain and watch the others expressions closely.
"Giles is this true" Buffy asks and I shift uncomfortably at the lost tone in her voice.
"Buffy, you have to understand, Faith is dangerous" Giles pleads as the scoob's begin to get angry.
"So you decide this by yourself, god complex much" Anya snips as she moves to stand beside me.
"F-Faith, are y-you okay" Tara asks me as she to moved to my side and I find myself calming as it sinks in that I don't have to do this alone anymore.
"Everyone deserves to be given a chance and when we apologized to Faith, we told her that she could trust us" Xander says as Willow nods and both walk to my side as well.
"We made a mistake all those months ago, I'm not saying she was perfect but look at where this mess lead has led us. We can't afford to be fighting ourselves, Adam is still out there and we need her, I need her" Buffy says and I can see her getting through to the ex watcher but nothing has changed in my opinion. He could be dying and I would just walk away, that being how much I give a shit about this man.
"I'm sorry, your right, but you have to be careful Faith, so many things can go wrong" Giles warns me like I would listen to a word that comes out of his mess.
"You come after me again, I'll kill you" I simply threaten before moving to the door.
"Wait it's still daylight out" Tara warns me before I open the door.
"The one good thing about being in my head last night was I learned a few new facts, like the fact that daylight is no longer a problem" I respond before exiting the back door, I wasn't five feet from the door before Buffy had caught up to me.
Buffy's POV
I couldn't believe that situation just happened, I mean I know Faith is far stronger than she ever was, and her vampire nature has made her more cruel but this is Faith we are talking about. Even when she was claiming to be evil, she never actually hurt any of us, well besides Angel, but he is a vampire and Faith was and is a vampire slayer.
"I'm sorry" I apologize as soon as I was walking beside the turned slayer.
"I was serious Buffy, I'm not fooling around anymore, someone comes after someone I care about or myself I will end them and I won't care about the reasons" she tells me and I was going to argue but I couldn't really blame her.
"How about we change the subject" I offer and I smile as Faith turns and gives me a small smirk.
"and what would you like to talk about?" she questions and I'm kinda stumped, I had all these questions but now that I had the chance, they've disappeared.
"Why do you some times refer to yourself as We" was the question I finally settled on.
"When our essence became one, it seems that the slayer and the demon became stronger, it feels almost like there are three people living inside my body, but instead of just random people it's like three different versions of myself" She explains after hesitating and I try my best not to take the hesitation personally. It's not like I could expect Faith to automatically trust me, plus the fact that she answered at all shows that she was beginning to let me in.
"My mom should be home soon and she wanted me to invite you to diner, the next time I had a chance" I ask deciding to leave the questions for now.
"I don't know" Faith mumbled, starting to look uncomfortable again.
"Please, it would mean a lot to her and me" I try to persuade as I take a chance and grab Faith's hand. I hold my breath as Faith's eyes dart between our connected hand and my face.
"Doesn't your mother hate me, I mean I wasn't the greatest person to you back then" Faith asks looking incredibly confused.
"Actually my mom never believed you were evil in the first place and she flipped when she found out you were in a coma" I reassure before trailing off as the events of that night began to plan in my mind's eye. I'm pulled back to reality as Faith begins to lead me by the hand in the direction of my house. We don't talk anymore as we walked the rest of the way, I mostly just didn't want Faith to let go of my hand. Opening the front door I move inside before turning to Faith when I noticed she stopped at the door.
"I'll need an invite B, my human side is not in control enough anymore to get inside without one" she tells me and I feel like such a blonde at this moment.
"Come in Faith" I invite before heading towards the kitchen as I could hear my mother in the room.
"Hey mom, I brought a guest but she won't be eating" I say making a sad excuse for a joke.
"Faith" my mother say excited as she rushes around and pulls a startled Faith into her arms.
"Hey Mrs. S, how have you been?" Faith questions and I watch amazed as the two woman begin to talk as if they have been friends for years.
"Buffy, dear, can you set the table" My mom asks before once again taking up the conversation with Faith. I do as I'm asked the whole time grumbling good naturally at the pair. Before I know it the food had been eaten and the mess cleaned up, this night has been amazing and I can't remember ever being happier.
"What do you say, feel like slaying some demons, we are getting kinda antsy here" Faith ask and I could tell how antsy she is just by looking at her.
"Ya, let's go see what the demon population has to say about all your new powers" I agree before winking at the turned slayer and running out the door. I hear a chuckle before I find myself hanging over Faith's shoulder.
'Put me down, you menace" I demand trying to stop my laughter.
"Nope your stuck and there is nothing you can do about it" Faith teases and I feel so surreal in this moment. I'm about to start hitting Faith's back with my fists but Faith just sets me down with one more laugh. I cross my arms and pull out all the stops with the Buffy pout, but I have a hard time keeping my pout when I see the happy smile Faith was now giving me.
"Aw B don't pout, it's just to cute" she taunts before she reaches over and pinches my cheeks.
"You suck" I complain before a smile crosses my face.
"Looky here boy, dinner" a male voice says from behind me and before I can respond Faith is already staking one of them.
"Hey leave some for me" I say before jumping into the fray. It only takes me a minute to stake the first vampire but by then Faith had already staked the other three vampires.
"You could have left me one more" I complain half-heartedly.
"Not my fault, your too slow" Faith responds flashing me a smirk.
"I'll show you slow" I respond before tackling the woman by surprise, using Faith's momentary shock I start tickling her.
"S-Stop t-that really t-tickles" Faith forces out between laughs before she grabs my arms and flips us over so she's laying on top of me.
"Now if I let you go are you going to behave?" she asks me but I'm to distracted by her body being stretched out over mine. Our eyes meet and I swear Faith's brown eyes darken, but before I can do anything Faith is bring us back to our feet. We spend the next hour walking through the graveyards but we find no more demon activity and I could feel my slayer become antsy at the lack of action.
"We'll this sucks" I hear Faith say from behind me and I don't need to look at her to know she's feeling the anxiety as well.
"Yup, and Adam has been quiet for a while now, can only need badness" I answer as I stop and turn to face Faith. She opened her mouth to respond before she stops and stares behind me. Turning around I find Spike standing there and smirking at us.
"Slayer, I have information on the initiative, that you'll need" spike tells me, while ignoring the turned slayer behind me.
"Well, what is it" I demand not really believing that he knows anything. Spike doesn't bother answering as he throws me some computer discs and runs off.
"You think he's messing with us" Faith asks as she grabs one and studies it like it was the meaning of life or something.
"Yup, but he gave these to us for a reason and I want to know why" I answer before sending a text to the scoobies for them to meet us at Giles.
"We need Will to work her magic with her computer, so we need to get Giles, their going to meet us there" I tell her before I began walking in the direction of Giles apartment.
"Ya not really wanting to go and deal with him right now" Faith says causing me to stop but I knew this argument was already coming.
"Well to bad, your part of us now, and that includes the fighting and awkward silences" I joke trying to get Faith to relax again.
"Whatever you say B" Faith agrees with a roll of her eyes.
'See your learning" I tease before I loop my arm with hers and drag her with me as I walked.
Authors note: Thanks to the people that are taking the time to review my story, I'm glad your liking the story so far. I would have updated before this but my computer crapped out and I had to go buy a new one, which meant I had to re-write this chapter. This chapter is just a filler, the next one will move the story along better.
