Willow and Giles cut there trip short and returned the next day with the rest of the potential slayers, who had the joy of meeting Faith the moment they returned.
"I'm Faith, you respect me and listen to me I'll be your best friend, if not, well, you'll wish you'd never come here," Faith had greeted them. With Buffy out of slaying for a few days Faith became the leader and sole trainer of the potentials. Buffy didn't tell the potential about being pregnant, she let Willow tell them about it after the baby was born so for now all the girls knew was Buffy was on a mission. Buffy rested well for the next week and Willow read up on mystical births, and what to do because it would be to risky to have the baby at the hospital. On Saturday around three pm Buffy gave birth to the next potential slayer Xena. Six days later Xena is almost a mini Buffy. She has long white blond hair and piercing ice blue eyes; she too has acquired a slight British accent. Soon after Spike moves in with Buffy. This makes it easier to train and plot against the first. Everyday each person in the Summer's household has a job. Xander "evil proofs" the house and builds anything needed. Willow works on spells, and Spike, Buffy, and Faith train and prepare the potentials. Andrew and Anya just do whatever is needed. Sunnydale has emptied fast, the people sense what something big is happening, everywhere houses are becoming empty, people are just leaving abruptly. The end is near and no one is prepared. Buffy has led the potentials into danger and two have been lost, now she wants to go back in and no one agrees.
"Look we all have to be together! We have to go in and fight this thing!" Buffy cried exasperated.
"Buffy some of don't feel like following your orders any more, all they do is kill us!" Kennedy cried.
"Honey, hush!" Willow warned.
"And you!" Kennedy sad turning, "Stop defending her!"
"I...I, Buffy Kennedy's right, we cant loose anymore, besides all we have are theories," Willow answered.
"So what, now your all againdt me? Have I ever given you a reason to not trust me?" Buffy cried.
"Look Buffy, it's just," Xander started.
"Buffy damnit! We all of us, ar eso sick of being bossed around and then led into danger you can't save us from, I think we should elect Faith as our leader," Anya said and the others murmered in aggrement.
"What?!?" Buffy exploded.
Dawn stood up and walked over, "On behalf of us I have to ask you to back off, please."
"Fine you don't want me, I am so sick of being the slayer I quit!" Buffy cried and stormed out. She headed for Spikes abandoned crypt.
Back at the house everyone sat dumbfounded. Then hell broke loose everyone started yelling and arguing at once.
"I don't want to lead!"Faith cried
at the same time others were saying
"She really left!"
"Why"
"Were free"
"ding dong the witch is dead"
"We have to go after her"
it was pretty obvious Faith was no leader, Spike who had been out gathering info walked in.
"HEY! HEY SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP!" He yelled. Everyone grew silent.
"Where is Buffy? What the hell is going on?"
"Well , see she um well we all decided," Willow began.
"Basically she left, Faith is our leader now," Kennedy interrupted.
"WHAT? Bloody hell, what were you thinking? After all she has done you kick her out?" Spike started blazing mad, "And you you little bitch. How the fucking hell could you kick her out?" Spike advances on Faith throwing her against the wall. "You think you can lead? Yeah right! You can't control your own bloody self, much less protect the lives of innocent girls! They will be dead by nightfall!"
Faith gets up and punches Spike.
"Shut up, I didn't ask for this job, but you have no right to say those things after what you have done!"
Spike picks Faith up and slams her down and then into the wall, she trips him and they end up wrestling on the ground.
"Get Buffy back, I can't lead these girls, only she can, please get her back!" Faith whispers as they fight. Spike stands up and leaves to find Buffy. He arrives at his old home a little while later to find her on the bed crying.
"Oh love, what they did, its so unfair!" Spike cry's when he sees her.
"Spike?" Buffy says looking up. He runs to her and takes her in his arms.
"Shhh love it'll be alright,"
"Where's Xena?"
"She's okay, she's with Andrew, so she doesn't know about this yet,"
"God, I'm sop confused!" Buffy cries sobbing.
"You'll be fine, but those girls need you I need you!" Spike soothed.
"I can't go back, yet, everyone hates me!"
"I don't, I love you! You're the one thing in my life that has ever been good."
"Spike..."
"Shhh, look you are the one thing in all my hundreds of years I have ever been sure, of, you're the one,"
"I...I donno if I want to be the one,"
"Look, please come back!"
"I can't yet."
"Ohh"," Spike turns to go.
"Wait stay!"
"Okay, I'll just take this chair," Spike says taking his jacket off.
"No with me here," Buffy says and pats the bed. Spike climbs up beside her and puts his arms around her she rests her head on his chest and that's the way they wake up.
"Buffy, come back, please, Faith asked me to get you so please."
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Alright, I guess I should after al Faith might kill them!"
Spike throws his jacket over his head and the two run to Buffy's luckily it is overcast so Spike doesn't burn. The next few weeks go on as normal.
On May 20 the day everyone has been preparing for arrives. It finds Buffy and her army atop Gallows hill. The sky has turned dark and they are ready, now all they need is the first to show.
"This is it everyone, our final battle, some of us won't make it, but we will succeeded!" Buffy encouraged. But all of there training could not prepare them for what was coming.
