(Faith's Dream)
"Daddy! Daddy!"
A little girl came running towards her father who has his arms wide open waiting for the girl to reach her. She hugged her father tight and her father did the same. The girl cried in her father shoulder.
"I…I missed you daddy…"
"I missed you too…"
They stayed that way…locked together. It was only when a young boy walked towards them did the father looked up. He smiled as the young boy also smiled.
"How's my little boy?"
"I'm fine dad…I missed you…"
The father reached to his son and embraced him together with his daughter. They stayed like that missing each other's company. They were happy…content…that is until their father disappeared from their arms leaving the two children almost falling from the ground. The boy stood up and looked at his little sister who was crying hands and knees on the ground. He crouched down to his sister and embraced her.
"Pathetic…no one will love you. You're ugly…ugly…"
Both of them turned to the voice and found their mother holding a bottle looking at them. The boy held his sister tighter, trying to protect her from their mother. She held tight to her brother afraid of her mother's drunken state. She almost fell to the ground when her brother disappeared from her grasp.
"No one loves you…you will always be alone. Trash…that's what you are…"
She trembled as her mother stepped towards her. She stepped back afraid.
"Trash…worthless…you shouldn't have been born. You're a mistake…"
Her mother continues to step towards her and she stepped back but stopped when she felt the wall trapping her from getting away. Her mother held the bottle in her hand up getting ready to hit her. She did the only thing she could do. She closed her eyes and waited for the impact. Waiting for the bottle to hit her face…
But it didn't come…
She slowly opened her eyes. Tears kept falling from it even when the figure of her mother changed from a tall man. The man was smiling…his eyes were full of compassion…trust…and love. She was surprised when the man held out his hand.
"I'll protect you…I promise…I love you…remember that…"
She was about to reach for the hand when the man grunted and there in his chest was a knife. Blood poured to his clothes. The girl stared wide eyed and the tears came again. She watched the man fell down to the ground.
"No…"
She stared at the body as the blood slowly scattered in the ground. As she looked at the body all she could hear was a voice of a man… a man who was dressed in a cloak.
"Do feel it? The dark side that's inside you? No matter what good you do…it's always there…"
"No…"
It was then when a girl with blonde hair stood in front of her. She was about to ask for help…but she didn't…couldn't…not when the girl shove a knife in her stomach. She felt pain…fear…and hatred. She couldn't stand it…she screamed…screamed at the top of her lungs…
"NO!"
No one's POV
A demon was walking in the streets of Sunnydale. He was dressed in a tux with a big whole where his tail is showing. He smiled looking at the houses. It was still early so no one was outside to see him.
"Nice town…so this is where the slayers lives…"
He stopped when he reached a house in Revello street. He slowly took out a small paper in his pocket and looked at it.
"Hmm…1630 Revello street…I guess this is where they live."
He slowly made his way to the window and looked inside. There he saw a blonde girl pacing around frowning. He continues to watch the oblivious girl. He was amused at what he was seeing. The girl seems troubled.
"This could be interesting…maybe even more than the last people that I watched."
He kept his eyes locked on the troubled girl oblivious that someone is also watching him. A girl sitting up at the tree wearing a cloak and a mask…a silly cat mask… was silently questioning what the purpose is of the demon's visit. He could be one of the bad guys after the slayers. But the way he looked…he looks harmless to the girl. She continues to study the demon and finally grinned when she remembered something…
"Hmm…if he is who I think he is…then this is going to be interesting…"
Meanwhile…inside the house…
A blonde girl is walking in circles in front of the basement door. She was restless knowing that the other girl who was sleeping inside the door was attacked yesterday by some unknown demon. She only knew that some girl wearing a cloak and some silly mask brought the other girl inside the Magic Box unconscious. She was furious when Anya called her to tell her that someone attacked Faith. She quickly told Giles to finish the test and quickly made their way to the Magic Box. That's where she found Faith lying on the couch.
After Buffy and Giles were turned to normal, they took Faith to Buffy's house to rest. It was weird…Faith didn't wake up, though there was no bruise or wound found in her body. It was like she was just in some deep sleep. Was she in a coma again? Giles said that she wasn't. But…why didn't she wake up yesterday?
She stopped and listened to the door trying to use her slayer hearing. It was then that she heard a whimper. Without hesitation, she quickly opened the door and made her way towards the other girl. Though her mother told her to let Faith rest for awhile, she couldn't just do it. She was worried about the other girl. She couldn't stop thinking about her even as she was lying on her own bed…she couldn't sleep. That is why she stayed outside the other girl's door pacing around thinking whether or not she should enter.
"No…"
Faith said as she continues to toss and turned in her sleep. She was having a nightmare. Buffy frowned and sat down beside her. She slowly touched her hand but pulled away when Faith suddenly sat up screaming…
"NO!"
Faith was breathing heavily, like she was running for quite some time. Buffy tried to hold her hand but Faith just flinched pulling her hand away from her.
"Faith…"
The other girl tried to calm herself without looking at the blonde girl sitting next to her. She felt disgusted and angry at the other girl. Maybe because she dreamed of her again, remembering how she stabbed her. The hatred that she forgotten the past days resurfaced once again…just because of the dream she had…or maybe because that man made her recall everything.
She frowned and stared at her hand ignoring the worried face of the other girl beside her.
"How long…have I been asleep?"
She didn't mean to be so cold. Didn't mean to shut the other girl away…but she couldn't help it. Buffy noticed. It hurt…but she ignored it and tried to let the other girl open up to her. She wouldn't leave her no matter what. Not now that she had feelings for the other girl…
"Since yesterday…"
She said ever so softly like she was silently telling the girl that she was worried for her…and that she cared for her. Faith noticed and she ignored it. She kept her eyes on her hand which was gripping the sheet.
"Oh…"
It was the only thing that she could come up to say to the other girl. She wanted to say mean things to her, but she couldn't. A part of her still cherished the other slayer…but…for now…she couldn't stand the girl beside her.
"Could…you please leave me alone…I want to be alone for awhile…"
Again, Buffy felt hurt. Hurt that Faith would again push her away. She tried to push the hurt away as she smiled slightly.
"Okay…but don't forget that it's Saturday…we have to training today…"
Faith didn't nod or say anything. She just kept her head and eyes in her hand. She didn't even turn her eyes as Buffy slowly made her way out of her room. Once the door closed, she took a deep breath and stared at the small window. Words just seem to come out of her mouth as she heard a tune…
Everybody's screaming
I try to make a sound but no one hears me
I'm slipping off the edge
I'm hanging by a thread
I wanna start this over again
So I try to hold onto a time when nothing mattered
And I can't explain what happened
And I can't erase the things that I've done
No I can't
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
I've made my mistakes
I've got no where to run
The night goes on
As I'm fading away
I'm sick of this life
I just wanna scream
How could this happen to me
Faith slowly made her way to a wall and did the only thing in her mind. She punched the wall strong enough to hurt her…to make her forget the bad things that happened to her. Pain seems to be the only one to make her forget such things…
Meanwhile…outside of Faith's room…
Buffy was still standing by the door looking at it. It took her awhile until she finally walked to the backyard looking up at the rising sun…
I feel your pain
I feel the rain
What happened to you
I can't get to you
Cause there's a wall
In your heart
That no one can get through
And it's cold and it's dark
And you don't have a clue
But this wall it will fall
If it's the last thing I do
I'll get through this wall in your heart
We'll break down all the troubles we have found
And I'll find a way to mend your broken pieces
Let's hold hands and be friends
Until the end and our love will be forever
But there's a wall
In your heart
That no one can get through
And it's cold and it's dark
And you don't have a clue
Cause there's a wall
In your heart
That no one can get through
And it's cold and it's dark
And you don't have a clue
But this wall it will fall
If it's the last thing I do
I'll get through this wall in your heart
She shook her head smiling slightly…thinking that everything would be okay.
Outside of the front door…
The demon smiled as he watched the scene that was unfolding from his crystal ball. It was really one of the best things that he'd seen so far. He didn't know that the golden slayer have feelings for the dark one. Nor did he know that the dark one is having some problem regarding the dark side. It was really one of the rarest things that he'd seen. It was touching…and he didn't know what would happen next.
He was smiling watching the scene when something came down from the tree. He backed away as he saw a woman wearing a cloak and a mask…a rather…silly mask. It was an animated cat mask. One that the demon is certain that kids would use to play with.
"You're one of those musical demons…aren't you?"
He frowned hated at what he's been called.
"Yes I am a 'musical demon' as you say. But I would rather prefer to be called…"
"Whatever…I don't need to know your name. I just want to make sure that you don't do anything stupid like hurting them."
The demon didn't like the woman being rude. But he could tell that even if her appearance is…rather silly and humorous…she was a strong human. She could break his bones if she wanted to. He really didn't want that…who would?
"I'm not here to hurt them. I love to read novels…but recently I decided why read when you can just watch people, so I decided to just watch people with their lives. One of my friends told me about the slayers and well…I wanted to know what they were like when they're not…slaying…you know…if they're like normal people…"
The demon watched the woman in front of him. It was the truth. He really didn't have the intention of killing the slayers. It wasn't his style…plus…he couldn't do it. He doesn't have the power to do such a thing.
The woman could tell that the demon was saying the truth. But still…she had to be cautious if she wanted to protect the slayers…
"I'll stay with you…just so you really won't hurt them."
"Alright. I don't have any problem with that. It would be nice to have some company…"
The masked woman nodded and looked at the crystal ball that the demon was carrying. She couldn't help but smile as she saw the dark slayer. She was glad that she was okay. A little confused…but okay. She again felt the longing of being next to the slayer. She couldn't help it…it was like seeing her dead lover once again…
Hours passed…
The slayers were in the training room each dealing with their own warm – ups. The dark slayer was working on the punching bag while the other slayer was doing push ups glancing at the other girl once in a while. She couldn't concentrate. She couldn't help but look at the dark slayer. They didn't say any words as they made their way to the Magic Box. Buffy wanted to ask her what happened yesterday…but she didn't want to push the other girl. Knowing her…she might not open up at all…
Julie was watching them carefully. She didn't like the way Buffy was eyeing Faith. She could tell that she had feelings for the other slayer. She turned towards Faith who was pummeling the punching bag. She couldn't help but smile just by looking at the other slayer…
She silently thanked Giles as he asked Buffy to step out to his office for awhile and talk. As Buffy head towards the exit, Julie decided to just tell Faith what she felt. Maybe…just maybe if she did it before Buffy did…she could have a chance. She walked towards Faith and stopped as she was facing at Faith's back…
"Faith…"
The other girl stopped and turned to her. She was sweating and breathing heavily. Julie felt her heart break as she saw the pain in her eyes. She slowly placed the palm of her hand on Faith's cheek and looked straight at her…as she poured her heart out…
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh, I realize it's hard to take
Courage
In a world full of people you can
Lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Makes you feel so small
But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors and that's
Why I love You
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful, like a
Rainbow
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bare
Just call me up cause you know I'll be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
That's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors, true colors are
Beautiful like rainbow
As she sang the last words…she leaned close to Faith and kissed her softly. It was soft...sweet but short. It only lasted a few second before Julie pulled away and ran out of the door…embarrassed. Even though she felt that, she still couldn't help but smile as she ran towards her house remembering the soft lips of Faith…
Outside the Magic Box…
"Who the hell is that girl?"
The demon was surprised to hear the angry voice the cloaked woman. He could tell she was angry…but she couldn't figure out why. He just shrugged and continue to watch the crystal ball fascinated with what was happening.
"This is really better than the rest I've witnessed. It's like a real soap opera…"
Back at the Magic Box…
Faith stood there for awhile stunned at what Julie just did. She sang…kissed her…and then left. Weird. She touched her lips trying to figure out if it was just a dream. She couldn't help but chuckle finding it weird that every girl she encounters seems to be kissing her nowadays. First Buffy…which was an accident…then that woman wearing a cloak…and now…Julie. Weird things seems to be happening around her.
"Hey…what's so funny?"
She turned towards the voice of Buffy who just entered the room. She kept her smile which made Buffy smile too. She was glad that Faith was beginning to loosen up again. But…what made her this way again, Buffy wondered.
"Just thinking…"
"Wanna share?"
She raised her eyebrow playfully and wiggled them.
"How bout we spar and if you win…I'll tell…"
"Bring it on…"
Both grinned as they circled each other. Xander and Willow watched and listened to the familiar banter that the two were saying. It was really just like back then when Faith was still…sane. Willow sighed and shook her head…
"You think they know how they feel for each other?"
Xander shrugged as he continues to look at the two slayers. It was really obvious…how Buffy feels but…he wasn't certain if Faith feels the same way. Sometimes he was certain that Faith's in love with Buffy…but sometimes…it seems like she wasn't. She sighed and shook his head…
Xander:Look at them
Ain't it funny
Is it just beginner's luck
Maybe
Willow: Ooh, with just one touch
Two different people
From such different worlds apart
Has touched each other's hearts
Like candles in the dark
Willow & Xander: If it's time for them
they've gotta take it
Take the chance
The chance to make it
Now
Let the love begin
Let the light come shining in
Who knows where the road will lead them now
Look at what they've found
Make that moment turn their hearts around
It may never come again
Let it in
Let the love begin
Let the love begin
Both Willow and Xander smiled as they left the two slayers to spar.
Buffy knew that Faith was holding back. That something was wrong again. They both stopped as Faith fell to the matt. Both of them breathing heavily. Buffy stared at Faith for awhile frowning. Something really is bothering Faith. But she wouldn't push her. She wanted Faith to be the one to tell her what was wrong. Pushing would only worsen things.
She held out her hand and waited for Faith to take hers. She stared at Buffy's hand for awhile then took it hesitantly. Buffy pulled her up and they ended up face to face to each other. They stayed that way looking at each other. Their hands still locked. Buffy looked deep in her eyes and tighten her hold on Faith's hand…
"Faith…"
Faith shook her head and turned her eyes away from Buffy. She pulled her hand away.
"I…I'm going to take a shower…"
She said as she walked towards the door, leaving the other girl staring at her retreating back. She was certain that Faith feels something for her…but it was gone so quick. It was like she again put her safety wall in her eyes. She wanted to break it…but she didn't know how…
Don't you know that I want to be more that just your friend
Holding hands is fine
But I've got better things on my mind
You know it could happen
If you'd only see me in a different light
Baby when we fin'lly get together
You will see that I was right
Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
Don't treat me like I was ice
Please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
and If you'd only say you love me baby
Things would really work out fine
Don't you know that I want to be more that just your friend
Holding hands is fine
But I've got better things on my mind
You know it could happen
If you'd only see me in a different light
but baby when we fin'lly get together
You will see that I was right
Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
and don't treat me like I was ice
oh please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
and if you'd only say you love me baby
Things would really work out fine
Say you love me
You know that it could be nice
If you'd only say you love me
and don't treat me like I was ice
oh please love me
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
and if you'd only say you love me baby
Things would really work out fine
and if you'd only say you love me darling
Things would really work out fine
She smiled and looked out the window. That's when she noticed two figures by the tree. One was looked like a demon…while the other one was wearing a cloaked outfit. Could it be the one that Anya was telling? She frowned as she made her way towards the two figure…
AN: the singing could be stopped if you guys want to…or I could continue it. Just tell me if I should kill the demon and that whole singing will be gone. I'll update as soon as I can…
