Chapter One
"Faith run!" Buffy yelled as she dodged the demon's attack.
Faith kicked at the oncoming vampire and grabbed the small child standing near by. "I'm on it, B!"
Buffy continued her assault on the demon. "Bigger than I like." She spat, "But that makes the victory all more satisfactory." Buffy pushed out with her hand and forced the demon back into the wall, using all the strength she had left, Buffy Summers flipped up and grabbed at the shattered piece of glass, she drove the makeshift weapon into the demons throat and twisted. Despite the blood, the demon fought back as powerfully as ever. "Plan B!" Buffy shouted.
Chloe loaded the crossbow and quickly handed it off to Kennedy who prepared for her part of the plan. Kennedy leveled her shot and pulled the trigger. Bolts flew into the back of the demon.
"Nice shot!" Vi cheered as she began her part of the plan. She ran full speed toward the demon and slammed her body into it, knocking it from Buffy.
"Now!" Chloe shouted, watching Rona shoot the demon with the gas powered flame.
"Again!" Chloe called, signaling for Kennedy to fire the crossbow again. The all watched as Buffy regained the upper hand. "Buffy!" Chloe called, tossing a large ax toward Buffy.
"Got it!" Buffy shouted, grabbing the ax mid-air, she turned in a complete circle bringing the ax blade first into the demon's head. Blood shot everywhere as the demon fell to the ground.
"Faith's in trouble!" Dawn shrieked as she entered the room.
The group followed Dawn back out at a fast pace.
"Buffy!" Faith yelled, pushing a large demon off of her. "The bringer has the girl!"
In an instant, Buffy was gone. Running down the corridor with the Potentials hot on her heels. Dawn helped Faith get out from under the now dead large demon and assessed Faith's injuries.
"Your arm." Dawn said.
"No time, little sister." Faith smiled. "Gotta go, we're missing all the fun." Faith grabbed Dawn's hand and the two ran off to find Buffy and the others.
"Buffy!" Vi shouted. "Vi, get down!" Buffy called back, pushing one of ten bringers into a broken chair.
"Now!" Chloe called, signaling Kennedy to pop up and behead the fallen bringer.
"Behind you!" Buffy yelled to Chloe.
Chloe turned as quickly as possible, but wasn't out of the reach of the bringers blade. The sharp edge came down on her arm with a burning pain. Chloe kicked out her leg and broke the bringer's knee.
"Got your back!" Rona said, and ran into the mix. She pushed the bringer back and jabbed her stake deep into his throat.
Chloe held her arm where the knife had hit and turned to see Buffy now fighting three bringers at once. "She needs help." Chloe yelled.
Kennedy ran full force and body checked one of the bringers out of the way. Rona and Chloe joined in on the other side.
"Vi!" Buffy yelled. "Where's Vi?"
"Little busy!" Chloe replied as she was pulled away from Rona by another bringer.
"Here!" Vi yelled from the corner.
Buffy looked quickly to her group. Two bringers trapped Vi, Chloe was held down by another. Rona and Kennedy were holding their own. Buffy quickly grabbed the bringer's arm and with speed and determination hit it just right to break the bone. She twisted the arm back on the bringer and stabbed him with his own knife. Buffy quickly dispatched Kennedy's bringer and took off for Vi.
Kennedy tackled Rona's attacker and pushed him to the ground, free of the bringer, Rona grabbed her bloody stake and stabbed the fallen bringer. She grabbed Kennedy's arm and went toward Chloe.
Chloe struggled with her attacker. Her ribs were still bruised and each blow from the bringer brought her closer and closer to blacking out. Chloe dodged a punch and pulled her knee up as a foot connected with the bringer's stomach.
"Miss me?" Rona said as she kicked the bringer off of Chloe. Kennedy quickly dispatched the bringer and looked around the cave. Buffy was helping Vi off of the ground. Vi's mouth and hands were covered with red sticky blood and her face was already swelling.
"The girl." Kennedy whispered. "Buffy! Where's the girl?" She shouted.
With out thinking, Buffy took off down the corridor and began her hunt.
"Buffy." Dawn said as she passed by.
"Dawn." Buffy breathed. "What are you doing here?"
Dawn simply pointed to the little girl sitting on the floor in the corner.
"Where's Faith?" Buffy asked, suddenly worried.
"There." Dawn pointed to a closed door.
Buffy walked slowly to the door and opened it quietly. "Faith." She said softly.
"It's hard." Faith said, standing over the body of a bringer. "I know it's right to kill them but, it's hard to block that feeling."
"It's okay." Buffy said, holding Faith against her. "We're okay."
Buffy led Faith out of the room and reviewed her team. Dawn was carrying the little girl, the youngest Potential yet. The girl was sobbing uncontrollably and Dawn was doing her best to comfort her. Kennedy was helping Vi, who was limping badly and holding a cloth to her bleeding mouth. Rona stood bandaging Chloe's arm.
"We need to get out." Buffy said.
The gang slowly walked to the entrance of the building, carefully avoiding any demons or bringers in sight. When the finally emerged onto the street, they realized night was over and day had already begun.
"Faith run!" Buffy yelled as she dodged the demon's attack.
Faith kicked at the oncoming vampire and grabbed the small child standing near by. "I'm on it, B!"
