Chapter 8
The Scooby gang looked up as the door opened and saw Buffy and Spike walk in. There was silence all around as they all looked at each other. Dawn walked into the room from the kitchen to see why everyone was being so quiet. When she saw Buffy she stopped.
"What the hell are you doing here? I thought I made myself clear when I said that you weren't welcome here anymore."
"I won't be here for long. I just thought that you would need help with the war."
"We don't need your help. Faith is a better slayer and she is all we need. We already have a plan and you're not a part of it."
"What kind of plan?"
"You don't need to know. Like I told you you're not a part of it."
Buffy paused for a minute and wondered when her sister started to hate her. She looked around and saw her friends with their heads down, the potential slayers looking at her with hate in their eyes as they actually knew her enough to hate her. Faith and Spike were the only ones who looked at her as if she belonged in the room. She shook her head and left.
She got to the next house before she heard Faith call out her name. She stopped and turned around. Faith was on the porch. When she saw Buffy stop she ran over to her.
"What do you want Faith?"
"Dawn's a bitch. I don't know how you lived with her all these years."
"It hasn't been that long. She was created a few years ago. At that time she wasn't rude or anything like how she is being. She was a teenager and we all go through those years. But what I just saw was pure hate for me. And I don't know why."
"Wait a minute; did you just say your sister was made a couple years ago?"
"Yeah it's a long story."
"Well I got time. How about we take a walk and you can tell me all about it."
They walked around the town, and only had to stop a few times because of vampires. Buffy told Faith all about Dawn and their few years together. She was just about finished when they made their way back to the house. They stood on the porch a while allowing Faith to take it all in.
"Damn that's….Wow."
"Yeah, I know."
"Wow…You have a very fucked up life."
"You have no idea."
"Look B, I want us to be friends. I know I messed up and I know I did wrong by you but I want to make up for it. I want us to be able to let it go."
"I want us to be friends too. Actually as sad as it is for me to say this, you and Cordelia might be my only girlfriends now. What you did back then when you went after Angel it hurt me. I can deal with the fact that you slept with Riley. I didn't truly love him. But if I had found out that you slept with Angel I would have killed you for it. If Angel can forgive you for trying to kill him I can forgive you too."
"Thanks B; I'm glad we can put it behind us."
"So now that we put that behind us can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, what's on your mind B?"
"What's this huge plan that you got going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"Dawn said something about a huge plan that nobody needs me for and I just wanted to know what it was."
"Oh, yeah so…. Ok so Willow found a spell that can close the hellmouth for good. So what we plan to do is fight the Uber Vamps in the hellmouth, with the first, while Willow is working the spell and then once it is done run for dear life."
"Ok…"
"Yeah it's Xander and Dawn's plan. And it's the only one we got."
"Wow…. That's a really bad plan."
"Yeah that's pretty much what I said. But I used shitty instead of bad."
"And all of the potential slayers will be there? How are they supposed to fight when they have no power? They will all die."
"I know, but they are all ready to fight the good fight, even without our strength."
"Why don't you have Willow find a spell on how to make all the potentials actual slayers?"
"Yeah ok, that's sounds good. I'll suggest it but Xander and Dawn might not like it."
"Why wouldn't they?"
"Because they came up with the plan we have now. They're not going to like it that I am suggesting an even better plan."
"Well their just going to have to live with it."
"B, when you left, they all changed. Spike and I were unaffected but we were the only ones."
"What are you talking about? Affected by what?"
"I don't know exactly, all I know is that they all think that their all that. That their better than the rest of us. I believe it started with Kennedy. When I first showed up I could see that she thought she was better than you and me."
"She can think that all she wants but until she is called she won't even be close to what we are."
"She thinks she's the queen of the potential slayers and it is seriously pissing me off. When I start to put her in her place she runs to Willow like some scared kid running to her mommy."
Buffy put a hand to her mouth to stop herself from laughing. Kennedy was always thinking she was the best and everyone else was a nobody. But of course she wouldn't let anyone know that because she didn't want everyone to hate her. To have Faith put her in her place and Kennedy running to Willow. It was just too funny. Buffy let out a laugh that made tears run down her cheeks. Five minutes passed before she could control herself.
"It wasn't that funny B."
"I know I just couldn't help it."
"OK….. So what are you going to do now?"
"I don't know. Do you think I should stay here?"
"Well with the gang not wanting you here, what's the point?"
"I know. Do you think you would need me?"
"I think we got it here. If we need you I'll call you."
"Ok. I guess I'll go back to L.A then."
"Going back to lover boy then huh?"
"Faith, you know it's not like that anymore."
"I know. But you wish it was."
"Yeah, that's true. But I also know that with the curse there's no way we'll be together again."
"Maybe you should look for a way to bind his soul."
"I never thought of that. I just didn't think there was a way."
"Yeah well you should look and see if there is a way for you two lovebirds to get back together."
"Thanks Faith."
"Welcome B."
"I guess I should start walking to the bus station. The last bus leaves in 30 minutes."
"Want some company?"
"You sure they won't miss you?"
"Who the fuck cares what they think, they can go fuck themselves for all I care."
"Then why are you still here?"
"Because I think that you have had enough of those pussy ass bitches blaming you for every little thing that goes wrong. If you don't stop whatever is wrong fast enough then whatever happens is all your fault and I think that's bullshit. They should try saving the world and sacrificing something they love. You have saved their lives more than they can count and what do they do? They rip you from heaven and give you shit about Angel. Xander shouldn't even be talking since his girlfriend is an ex vengeance demon and probably killed more people than Angelus."
Buffy nodded as she took in everything Faith said. She was right. They did gang up on her whenever she did something that they didn't like. It was bullshit. After Faith was done rambling they walked the rest of the way in silence. When they got there she remembered she had attached the scythe to her back. She took it off and handed it to Faith.
"What's this?"
"It's a scythe specifically made for a slayer. Since I'm not going to be here I think you should have it. It might give you a better chance during the apocalypse. "
"Cool. Thanks B."
"Welcome."
She looked around and saw that the bus was turning the corner.
"Good luck, I hope to see you after this is all over."
"Me too, tell the big guy hi for me. See you B."
Buffy got on the bus and sat down. Her eyes started to droop. After everything that happened today she deserved some much needed rest.
