Chapter 12 -
Xander looked up as he heard the door click shut and saw Faith and Willow
"Hey guys, come to do the rescue thing"
Faith held her finger to her lips as she pressed her ear against the door. Suddenly the
door swung open and Vampires stormed the room followed by their leader.
"Well Slayer I knew you would come it was just time to wait"
A one armed demon stepped up behind him and whispered in his ear "So this is the
second, Faith. The true slyer"
Chained to the wall Xander scoffed.
Faith looked at him curiously. "The true slayer?" She asked
He sighed "Yes, there can only be one true slayer, you have what is crudely referred to
as 'the spark' which is drawn to you by something referred to as your 'inner magnet'"
Faith looked at him blankly. He sighed again "When a slayer dies or passes the time in
her life when she is useful the spark moves on, it is drawn to your inner magnet,
something all slayers are born with, along with their abilities, it enhances your abilities"
He looked at Faith who seemed to have understood "Any way that's enough of a
history lesson for today" A vampire turned to him
"Shall we get the other?"
"No, she's no use to us" He turned and left the cell locking the door leaving Faith,
Willow and Xander slightly confused. "ok that guy was strange" Willow said
Faith nodded then kicked the door opened and quickly staked the two vampires
guarding the room. "This is just too easy"
"Trap?" Xander asked
"Maybe" Faith replied as she started to move along the corridors.
"Was he a Vampire?" Josh asked
"Dunno" Faith replied
"How could you not know?" Buffy asked
"My senses, were, I dunno, jammed"
"Jammed?" Giles asked
"Yea, I couldn't get a clear signal on anyone in the room, even those in game face, then
he left and thing were fine"
"Magic?" Buffy asked
"Most probably" Giles said
"Research time?" Xander asked
"Yes, yes, that would be appropriate"
"Can you get up and kicking soon, I wanna take this guy out before another demon
tracks me down"
"He doesn't want you Buffy" Faith said "He wants me"
"Still I wanna take this guy out" Buffy said sternly
Faith climbed into bed and wrapped an arm around Buffy
"How you feeling?"
"Much better, that grey stuff seems to be working"
"If it tastes that bad it's got to be good for you" Faith said with a smile Buffy smiled
back
"Of course there are plenty of things that taste good and I'm sure they're good for me"
Buffy said as she leaned up and kissed Faith who grinned then snuggled down into the
bed
"Night B, we got a big day ahead of us tomorrow.
Willow knocked on the door lightly. Slowly it creaped open and a weary eyed Tara
peered out "Willow?" She asked rubbing her eyes "What are you doing here?"
"I know it's late, it's just Buffys at Faiths and after the scary guy and escape and
adrenaline" She took a deep breath "I kinda wanted to see you"
Tara smiled and motioned for Willow to come in
"Did I wake you?" Willow asked concerned
"Um kinda"
"Sorry"
"It's ok"
"So what's this about escaping from who?"
"Um some creepy new evil guy, I'm sure we'll fill you in tomorrow when plans are
made" Willow yawned "Right now sleep would be good"
"OW! That hurt" Xander complained
"Where were you?" Anya hit him again "I was worried"
"I got kidnapped by some vampires"
"Oh" Anya said and stopped hitting him "Why didn't you kill them"
"Because not everyone can slay a lot of vampires when they're all attacking you"
Anya nodded "You shouldn't go doing things like that Xander, it makes me sad"
Xander smiled and pulled her into a hug "I know, and I'm sorry"
"Good"
