Sorry this is taking so long. My inspiration seems to have taken a vacation. Hey that rhymed! Impressed?

Still not the owner of anything. Thanks for the reviews. Here's the next chapter.

Chapter 14

The slayers were in the casualty department of the local hospital. Amazingly nobody thought there was anything strange in the way six girls walked into the A&E department with various injuries, ranging from next to nothing to broken bones. Fortunately with their slayer healing powers they would be out of the building by the next day.

Faith winced as she sat down. He head was still aching and it had taken a number of stitches to sew up the wound to her head. She glanced around at the others. Worst off was Kendra who had ended up with a large piece of ceiling crush her, while a bar from her cage had embedded itself into her arm. Least harmed was the current slayer, Kim, who only had a few minor cuts and bruises. Faith watched Kim as the girl sat silently staring at the wall. There was something not quite right about Kim, but Faith couldn't figure out what it was.

"Hey."

"Hey B." Faith answered looking up at Buffy as Buffy handed her some coffee. "How ya doin'?"

"Better." Buffy said, "Doctor said I've pulled the tendons, but hopefully it should sort itself out soon. You?"

"Headache. Feels like there's a heavy metal band in there trying to get out." She smiled and then grimaced at the pain her effort at smiling had caused. She sipped the coffee before asking the question on everyone's minds. "So what's next?"

***

The Fellowship had located the building where Faith had been held. Legolas tensed as he saw that all that was left of the building was now rubble. Travers scouted around looking for any signs of life.

"They have already left." Gandalf stated calmly to Travers.

Travers looked up in frustration. He couldn't have said that before I started to look? He thought angrily as he made his way back to where the rest of the Fellowship stood.

"They were injured." Legolas commented. He turned to Travers. "Where would they go?"

"Hospital." Answered Travers automatically. He made his way back to the van that he and the Fellowship had arrived in. "Which is where we're going now."

***

The Fellowship got out of the van outside the hospital. Travers led the way into the building. After asking at the reception for details he led the Fellowship down several corridors to where he was told the girls were waiting.
