I sit around the table watching Kennedy dance with Willow.

"Buffy just came." Kennedy says to me as she comes from the dance floor, to me. And motion to Buffy dancing with Will now.

"Is Faith coming tonight?" I ask.

"No, she went on a patrol."She says.

"Patrol? with the newbies I didn't know they are going tonight."

"They are not, she is going alone."Alone but that's perfect target. Oh no, I know why Treya went to the club tonight, she told the demons where is an easy tasty catch.

"Alone?"I ask.

"Yeah, she said that on the meeting."

"I didn't notice."

"Yeah she said that after you left."And then Treya left to make a plan to kill her. I should have known this. I have to go. I have to help her.

"Um, Ken I have to go."

"What, why?"Damn, why don't she just let go.

"There is a vampire."I say the first thing that came to my mind.

"Where, I can't feel any vampire."

"Okay" I sigh" I guess I can't lie to you."

"The truth is I can't dance very well. Not to the fast music. I just lost the rhythm and it looks horrible." I put on my best-embarrassed face. These are the times, when I actually hope I learned something from Treya. Can you believe that?

"I can teach you". She cuts me off. Oh god, girl just let me go.

"Thanks" I smile" But I don't want anyone to see I can't dance so soon. So why don't I just disappear tonight. You can tell anyone I feel sick and then this week, we can play the music and you will teach me."

"Okay."She smiles. Finally!

"Bye." I say and walk away as quickly as I can without making her think I am running from the club.

Okay, where is Faith now? There are many cemeteries around. I should have asked Kennedy where did she headed. Well, I guess I just have run around all of them. I just hope I can get to her in time. If I at least knew, what Treya send after her. Demons? Vampires? Vampires would be better and more logical. Nothing would be suspicious. Demons would be a lot more risky but also more effective. There is a chance Faith can defeat even a big group of Vampires. But with a group of various demons…

I can hear some voices. Please let it be Faith… I run around the building only to see a group of teenage boys yelling at each. Encouraging each other to dig up some grave. Seriously, what is wrong with them? Yeah I know, they understand nothing about vampires. They have no idea games like this can kill them, have they? They dig up vampire's grave and…

Where are you Faith? I have been on five other cemeteries and nothing. I wonder how many monsters she has send on you. Enough to kill you no matter what? Or did she give you a chance? Are you dead already? Are they draining the blood from you now? Or are you walking around pissed off, because you haven't met any vampire yet? Am I paranoid and Treya didn't send anyone after you?

I run around another building and… and see Faith. She is fighting against twelve vampires.

"Twelve against one, hardly fair" She just said.

"Twelve against two now."I say and stake a vampire closest to me. I turn around to face another one. I block his punch and then kick him in the knee. He falls on the ground and turns into dust. One more runs at me and tries to kick me in the face, I huddle up to avoid him, and then strike up into his face.

I can't move .Something…Someone is holding my hands. I look behind me and see two vampires holding me from the side. I try to break away but with little success. There is a third vampire; he is going to bite me. What do I do know? Do I use magic, attack them and hope Faith isn't looking my way? Hope that she won't notice? Do I let him bite, and trust Faith that she will rescue me in time? Do I let him bite me and hope he won't tell out aloud that I don't taste like a slayer? Since most of my options include waiting, I brace myself and let him sink his teeth into my neck. It stabs a little. I can feel my strength flowing off me with my blood. First I stop feeling my hands, then my legs. It's getting easier, just to let go. I fall on my knees. Just let go… I close my eyes and let go… Surrender to him…

The pain stopped, he stopped. He stopped drinking, he still hold me close and force me to look in his eyes.

Why? What do you want? I surrender to you.

He uses his nails and cut into his right forearm.

"Drink" he orders. I don't resist. Why should I? I lean in to drink to taste, taste life. Something I have always protected. Right before my mouth could touch the blood, everything turns into a dust. Dust? And Faith.

"Faith" I say right before I lost my consciousness.
