A Faith Story Chapter 10: From Rob Zombie to Linkin Park, a buffy: the vampire slayer fanfic

Buffy pov.

Faith and I are still dancing. I had forgotten how much of a good dancer she was. is. She just lets the beat take over and her body follows along. Its actually quite mesmerizing. I'm finding it extremely hard to not stare at her perfectly toned body. I know I've always been attracted to Faith, that much was obvious but in the beginning I was sure it was purely physical. Been we started to hang out and I realized it went a little deeper. But I never ignored that she was gorgeous. In my own opinion it seems that turning 18 did nothing but make her more beautiful. I never thought of pursuing things with her for a number of reasons. One; I was I thought she was straight but now I know she 'plays for both teams.' something else we have in common. Oh don't look so surprised. Everybody just assumed Buffy was straight. I never recall saying that I was strictly dickly. Nope. I can bat either way. I just never actively pursued anything. Two; she seemed like a slut. Everybody knows that you can't turn a hoe into a housewife and she gave off that vibe. But now I'm starting to think that whole sleeping with every guy with a cute face thing was a front. And three; she went all evil and hurt the people I care about. Although I could've learned to forgive her if I tried, I didn't. But now I know it wasn't really her doing the only thing stopping me is the fact that Cordelia terrifies me. Well that and I'm not sure if she's even interested in me. That last one I can over come but the first one I'm not so sure about. Cordelia is so protective of Faith and with the incident with the closet from before I'm surprised she even lets me breath around Faith. I see the looks that she gives me. She watches me like a hawk and I'm pretty sure that if Cordelia doesn't approve of me Faith won't try anything. Well except a friendship. If I'm lucky.

"Hey you want a drink?" I hear. I turn and see some guy. I give him a small smile.

"No thanks." I say turning back towards Faith. She has her eyes closed and I'm pretty sure she doesn't even know I'm still here.

"Aww c'mon baby. Lemme get ya one drink." the guy persists. I shake my head.

"I'm good." I say a little more forcefully.

"What's wrong? You don't like men? Maybe you just haven't had the right one. Let me show ya what you're missin. I can guarantee you a good time." he says with a sickening smile. I don't even have to say anything else.

"She said no so back off." Faith says without opening her eyes. The guy looks up at Faith.

"Oh you two together? Why don't you come and have a ride on a real man. Both of you." he says. Faith finally stops dancing and looks him directly in the eye.

"I'm being polite right now. I'll ask you again nicely," she says grabbing his crotch roughly. "Leave us alone of I'll rip you dick off and feed it to you. Got me?" she asks as she twists. I bet that hurts. The guy turns different shade of red before nodding.

"Y-Yeah." he gasps out. She smiles.

"Good. Now be a good little fucker and run along now before I get mad." she says in a sugary sweet voice letting him go. She looks at me and we share a smile.

"Its getting hot out here, how about we go back and join the guys?" I ask. She nods and we begin to make our way of the dance floor. She immediately goes for Cordelia's drink put gets hit with a purse.

"Oh no you don't! Keep your little paws off and get your own." Cordy says smiling as Faith pouts. I notice Willow walking over to the table.

"Uh guys I just got off the phone with Giles an-" Wesley cuts her off.

"We don't really care what Rupert has to say." he says. Faith puts a hand on his arm.

"Wes it could be important. Lets hear it Red." she says. Who would have ever thought she was such a good person?

"But Fa-" Wes starts only to be cut off by Faith.

"Don't. If its important we need to hear it. Let the girl talk." she says. They stare each other down for a moment before he nods.

"He's still been researching the glory thing and so far, even though it isn't much, all he's come up with is the key is a ball of energy that's over thousands of years old. But the for of it was changed by some kind of monks or something and sent to the slayer. He's not sure what form its in now but its something either you or Buffy have." willow says. Everybody is quiet for a few minutes.

"Its somethin B has. I don't know how I know but I just do." Faith says breaking the silence.

"Ok now we just need to figure out what." I say. A guy bumps into me causing me to fall back slightly but Faith catches my arm so I don't fall. After she does she stares at me for a moment with a concentrated look then her eyes widen. She lets me go causing me to once again almost fall but this time Gunn catches me.

"Thanks." I say.

"No problem. Faith what's up?" he asks. She looks a little shocked like she's seeing something she can't believe but all she's doing is staring at me.

"N-nothin." she stutters out seemingly to snap out of her trance. She shakes her head a little and she's about to say something when we all hear familiar words:

(Who is this irresistible creature who has an insatiable love for the dead?)
Living Dead Girl!

She smiles and walks away like nothing happened. Cordelia just shakes her head and I follow Faith. I'm going to find out what the hell just happened. I'm about four feet away from her when I see glory walking up behind her. Faith turns to her and glory says something and Faith shakes her head. Glory throws Faith into a wall and the first verse starts.

Rage in the cage
And piss upon the stage
There's only one sure way
To bring the giant down
Defunct the strings
Of cemetery things
With one flat foot
On the devil's wing

everybody moves out of the way as Faith gets up. She gives glory one of those you're gonna get it smiles she has and lunges at glory.

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

they trade blows but by now I've jumped in. I'm about to jump on glory but Faith goes flying past my head crashing into Gunn. I look back to glory in time to duck a fist aimed at my head.

"Tell me where my key is!!" she yells.

"Dizzy bitch we aint tellin you nothin." Faith says. Right before I hit glory I feel Faith jerk my body back and I look to see she just saved me from getting hit with a chair. Where is my head?!

Raping the geek
And hustling the freak
Like a hunchback juice
On a sentimental noose
Operation filth
They love to love the wealth
Of an SS Whore
Making scary sounds

yes scary is the right word for the sound glory made when Faith hit her in the face. Glory kicks Faith in the midsection and Faith barely stumbles. Right now its time for me to step in. I rush up and hit glory with all the slayer strength I have and the bitch laughs.

"That tickled. Do it again." she says. What the fuck?! she punches me and I fall back and everything is fuzzy.

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Faith catches glory with a right then a left hook dazing her. She then hits her with an uppercut knocking her down.

Psyclone Jack
Hallucinating Hack
Thinks Donna Reed
Eats dollar bills
Goldfoot machine
Creates another fiend
So Beautiful,
They make you kill

I feel myself being lifted up and see Gunn and Wes moving me away.

"I'm fine guys. I need to help Faith." I say trying to get them to let me go.

"Nah you need to stay out of her way. She has this." Gunn says. But I don't want her to get hurt. I take a moment to look back and see that glory has Faith by the neck against a pool table. Faith grabs a pool cue swinging it so hard it breaks against glory's head on the first blow. Faith then sticks the broken end into her gut and glory lets out another scream.

Crawl on me
Sink into me
Die for me
Living Dead Girl

Blood on her skin
Dripping with Sin
Do it again
Living Dead Girl

glory uppercuts Faith sending her crashing into the pool table behind her. Glory hops up ready to stomp Faith's skull in but thankfully Faith wasn't dazed enough to not see. She rolls off the table and breaks into run.

"Red. Tar wipe their memories! Thanks!" she says running past the group. Glory hot on her heals. Willow and Tara start to mutter something in Latin and none of us stay to see if it worked. When we get outside neither Faith nor glory is anywhere in sight.

"L-Lets go back to the mansion." Cordelia says worry evident in her voice. We all nod in agreement and when we arrive at the mansion Faith is on the ground in front of the door. Whimpering like a small child. Cordelia and Angel rush to her side. They continually call out to her but no answer. Finally Angel carries her inside and sets her down in her room. She automatically burrows into Cordelia when she sits beside her. All I can think is this Glory bitch is really going down now.

Faith pov.

Glory and I fought. I never told her who the key was. I know. But she couldn't get it out of me. So she tried to go into my mind. That didn't work either. She still doesn't know who the key is. I don't know how I blocked it out but I did. All she did was bring a whole lot of memories to the front of my mind.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming/confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling/I can't seem

"Daddy please don't." I used to cry out. He'd just smile at me.

"C'mon Faithy, don't you love daddy? This'll help pay the bills. You'll be keeping the family fed." he'd say before he let his friends have their way with his 7 year old daughter.

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

"Don't call me that! I'm not your mom! You are a mistake! A disgusting little mistake!" my mommy used to scream at me. She never wanted me and sometimes I wish she would've had an abortion.

Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting/reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

but its been years so I should be over it right? I think I should. Even if I know I shouldn't be here. I don't wanna be here. I deserve everything bad that happens. Cos I can't let the past go. Time heals all wounds is what my watcher used to say. So why do I still have nightmares about my past. Those wounds should just heal! Fucking heal!

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

"I'm sorry." I whimper out.

"Shh don't be sweetie. We have you. You're ok now..." I hear a voice I don't recognize say before drifting off into sleep. But I know it won't be a peaceful one. Sleep is never peaceful for me.

Ok so here's another one of those update thingys. Just thought I'd go ahead. You can thankxXAngel of fireXx cus it was her idea to use living dead girl by Rob Zombie. Oh yeah it rocks. That's the first song. The second is Crawling by Linkin Park. I know the video has a generally ok to happy ending but in this case the song don't got a happy ending. Hope ya like the chapter. Review and lemme know. Laterz...
