Authors Note: Remember everything is from Buffy's POV. I am trying to mirror the episodes from season 3. But the only things you'll hear about is what Buffy encounters, or what she knows. If you were to picture it in your head there would be a lot more going on. This is a short part, cuz the first part of chapter 9 was really long.
After what felt like hours, and really was hours of slaying with Faith I was ready to call it a night. She was ready to call it a party. I watched her slay 2 vamps, she had good style; really took her time though. In all that time she took she could be dead.
I had learned a few things about her though. She loves leather, she loves to use the phrase, "five by five" alot; my interpretation of the word is that it means she is good. Her watcher is at some retreat in England, that of which made her want to take some time to come here and meet me. She loves to eat right after slaying; a event I am glad to not have witnessed yet; the girl was anything but polite.
She was nice though. According to her I'm a little high strung. But she takes my word for everything though, seeing as I have done this longer then her.
I told her about Angel; only very little. Most of what I told her about me consisted of her asking me questions and me nodding my head. For what I knew she knows I am in love with a vampire, that I love slaying and I love to eat low fat yogurt. Oh and yeah she asked what the ugliest demon was I had ever seen. I don't think I gave her a straight answer. I mentioned the master and the egg monster but I couldn't really pick one.
While we were patrolling I somewhat showed her the town; the school, the bronze, my house. She had a lot to say the whole night. Going on and on about finding out she was the slayer, finding out Kendra died. Basically a lot of subjects I am very familiar with, only she seemed to make it all sound so dirty and sexual some how. Not sure I would ever get used to that.
As we walked through our last cemetery that wasn't far from my house, no vampires to be seen, she continued on.
"You know B, must be really hott; screwing a vampire and all." Faith gleefully spoke. She had been talking that way the whole night I almost didn't notice she was now talking about me.
"Whoa..." I started. "I am not…screwing…anyone." I stopped, turned and eyed her slowly. "How about when it comes to my life, you don't speak." I finished, feeling a bit hostile.
"Calm down B, Just trying to make conversation." Faith slowly remarked.
"Yeah well normal humans don't usually address things in that way." I let her know.
"So..." Faith brushed off my comment. "I don't see anymore vamps. You ready to go party…at the a Bronze right?" She looked on at me excitedly, shaking her hips.
I looked around in both directions, "Nah, you seem to be able to handle yourself. I'm gonna call it a night." I softly spoke, putting my stake back in my ankle strap.
"You know that school I showed you back there," I pointed in gesture as I stood up.
Faith nodded. "Sunnydale High, Yeah."
"Meet me there in the morning. Giles..." I paused realizing she didn't know who Giles was. "My watcher will be there. We can figure everything out in the morning." As I said that I worried; Giles was right about the consequences being bad. I only hoped he would help me figure out what was going on.
"No way, you go to school B?" Faith asked already knowing the answer. "How does that work being the slayer and all; trying to be Clark Kent or something?" She giggled at her own remark. Her comment kind of irritated me.
"You know what Faith." I started catching her gaze. "Not to give you a downer, but everything isn't just party hardy like you seem to think…" I continued as her grin now left her face. "Things get bad…really bad… around here. If you don't want to be running away from more packs of demons, I suggest you get your priorities' straight." I finished. I felt kind of bad saying that to her. I felt like a mom. I just knew it was something no one ever told me in the beginning, when I was called; if they had maybe I wouldn't have died.
"Sorry B…But don't presume you know me, I just was looking for a little fun. You know two slayers roaming the town; I never really had any friends." She apologized, somewhat raising her voice. "No problem though, I can find the fun on my own. Maybe we could just swap some more stories?" She asked looking at me attentively. I could tell she didn't want the night to end. I could also tell she has an attitude of her own.
I wiped the concerned look on my face and nodded. "In the morning Faith." I said as I turned and walked in the direction of my house.
"In the morning you can tell me anything you want." My voice faded as I walked away.
"Okay B. But you're missing out." I heard her voice echo behind me.
"I'm sure I am." I whispered to myself knowing she couldn't hear.
I was already midnight; I went home and went to bed. As I am sure Faith headed to the bronze to find herself a party; already I barely knew her and I could already tell she has a destructive behavior. I couldn't wait to introduce her to Giles. I also couldn't wait to keep her away from Angel.
