Finally, it sunk in that one of Faith's newfound sisters was injured, and
she lost it. The Slayer stood in the center of the clearing, the bodies of
her friends (or non-enemies. The Scoobs weren't exactly her *friends*)
strewn across the park. She screamed and threw her head back. Bright green
sparks emanated from her fingers, reaching the demon/vamps closest to her.
The tendrils of magic wrapped around them, and they started to scream. It
wasn't like anything any of them had heard before-a high-pitched wailing
that Faith swore was about to blow apart her eardrums.
"Now, now, none of that." Spike bellowed over the noise. He killed one with his stake, but was also zapped by Faith's magicks.
"Holy hell, Slayer! That hurts!"
"I don't know how to stop it!" She yelled. Faith was obviously panicking, and she didn't know what to do.
"I think you're hurting them!" Phoebe screamed hopefully.
"Yeah, and they're hurting us too." Her sister said into her ear. "We need to figure this all out. And-"
Before Piper even could finish her sentence, a shockwave blew them all over. Phoebe realized as she hit the ground that it was coming from Faith.
"Damn." She said as she fell into unconsciousness.
The same thing was happening to everyone who had been standing. Except for Faith and the demon/vamps, everyone was knocked out. Then the supernatural tremor spread, knocking down trees and the gate at the entrance to the park.
"Hell yea!" She screamed. One of the trees came dangerously close to hitting Xander, and she tried to tone it down a bit, but she couldn't do it. It was like the magick was controlling her, teaching her what to do. So Faith let it.
As if it had a mind of it's own, the magick tightened it's hold on the demon/vamps and actually crushed them, severing heads and turning them to dust. She thought she was finished when the magick loosened it's grip and went *inside* Faith, like it had been there. She felt like she had been awake for a month, and she was so tired she dropped to the ground where she was standing. But it wasn't nearly finished.
The ashes from the demon/vamps flew into the air, converging into one large shape. A new, bigger demon/vamp. The first one.
"Aw, come on now. You gotta be shittin' me." Faith slowly pulled herself to her feet and willed the magick from just a few moments ago to come back and kill this thing.
But nothing happened.
