Buffy Fights Evil- Chapter 12


"Buffy? Buffy, wake up... It's Giles. Everything is okay." Buffy woke to see Giles and Xander's blurry images in front of her face.
"What...happened?" Buffy stuttered as she did before, but only this time, due to unconsciousness.
"You fainted, Buffy." Xander told her.
"Oh, right." Buffy said as she rose and stood up." Well, that could be, because I just ran fifty miles to tell you that Faith checked out of the hospital and then I find out that she's here!" Buffy told them angrily.
"Well, we figured you would come here, before going to the hospital."
"Oh, well I didn't. How'd you get her here anyway?"
"We checked her out of the hospital." Giles explained.
"What? How?" Buffy asked,
"Well...we asked how she was doing and they said she was doing wonderfully, but they were going to keep her another day. We told them that we needed her desperately and they let us check her out. I'm sorry we didn't run it by you, Buffy." Giles finished explaining. They saw Faith move and Buffy shot up in a fighting stance. Then she realized, Faith wasn't doing anything she sat back down.
"Shouldn't you have her tied up...or something?" Buffy asked.
"She's knocked out, Buff." Xander said.
"Yeah, but eventually she's going to wake up and eventually try to get away." Buffy said. She was wondering why Giles didn't think of this already.
"Oh yes. I suppose so." Giles said then walked out of the room to go get some rope. When he returned back into the living room, Faith was waking up.
"Do something!" Xander yelled. Buffy took one of the books from Giles book shelf and slammed it over Faith's head. Faith fell back down onto the couch.
"Sit her in the chair." Buffy commanded. They did as she said, then Buffy took the rope from Giles hands and wrapped it around faith's wrists and ankles.

After about an hour, Faith woke up. "What...?" Faith said in a dazed look. She regained conscience and was able to talk clearly. "Why am I here? Let me go!"
"We can't do that, babe." Xander said, trying to act tough. Faith gave him a dirty look and he backed away.
"I guess by now, you realized that I can easily break this rope with my powers...right?" Faith asked mockingly. Buffy didn't think of this, she walked toward the door and locked it. "I can also unlock all of the doors." Buffy was confused.
"Figures you weren't a real slayer. You had to use magic to beat me." Buffy mocked back.
"Yeah, so why am I here? Oh right...you want me you let your poor, helpless, little friend out of that snow globe, right? Not 'gonna happen." Faith said. Buffy walked up to her and kicked her in the face. Faith laughed at her, then the rope broke and Faith shot out of the chair and through Buffy up against the wall with her powers. Buffy got up and ran towards Faith, but Faith used her hands in a lifting motion and raised one of Giles lamps, then slammed it down against Buffy's face.
"Oh...that was from my mother." Giles said. Faith looked at him, then unlocked the door with her powers and walked away like nothing happened.
"Now what?" The tiny little voice from the snow globe on Giles counter said.
"You don't know what to do?" Xander asked worried. "Now, we're sunk."
"No, we aren't. If we just think this thoroughly...I'm sure we can come up with a reasonably way to solve the problem." Buffy said, not having any idea of what to do. "Okay. The only way to get Willow out of there is for faith to undo the spell. So...we just have to figure out how to get Faith to do it."
"Oh great, Buffy. You can really think of solutions in hard times." Xander said sarcastically. Buffy gave him one of her looks.
"Maybe another witch can undo the spell." Willow suggested.
"Like who?" Giles asked. Then at the same time they all said. "Tara!"
