Chapter 2 (The Training Session)
Faith ran upstairs into the sunlight. The girls were already outside practicing and preparing. Spike froze at the steps looking up as the shadows held him in place. Buffy walked past him without a word. She didn't want to know what she had walked in on. Spike watched her back glisten in the rays. A few stray ones started to toll on his arm and he ran for the tub of water.
Buffy joined faith at the door as the peered out on the girls.
"The army is almost ready," faith said.
"They aren't there yet, first they need to be prepared for the very real possibility that they won't make it through this," Buffy sighed.
"Listen B, we've trained, we've fought, we've tried that's all we can do this is our last chance."
"Faith it's not that simple I mean I tried to refuse my destiny, afraid of what I was and what makes you think they'll be any different. Who says they won't run the second they are put in a mortal situation?" Buffy looked at faith now.
"They are different because they have each other, they aren't one girl destined to fight alone. B, I thought you of all people knew friends give a slayer strength."
Buffy glared questionably. . .
"Well not me seeing I had no friends. I wonder why that was?" Faith smiled
"Probally cus we were the first people to welcome you and then you tried to kill us. Killing people and working for the enemy only got you into a coma remember." Buffy said with ease as if it was nothing.
"Oh yeah. . . but the sleep was good." Faith grinned.
Kennedy yelled and the girl were in sync with each other. They punched air and spun-kick more air, believing they could kill a vampire. They were strong enough, maybe not physically but in some ways.
^^ Rebello Drive ^^^_______________________________________
Fred looked out the window, listening to the constant chat of Lorne and Gunn about the scenery and the fighting. Wesley was getting tired of driving and Riley was beginning to get bored of the car. They pulled onto Rebello Drive and everyone practically gasped. They had made it, home free. The car pulled to a screeching halt in front of the Summer's home. They almost simantainously burst out the car doors. While everyone stretched and breathed in the fresh air, rather than the gas fumes they'd been stuck in for days. Wesley walked to the door and as he was about to knock the door opened and Willow stood there.
"Wesley. . . !!" Willow said with enthusiasm
"Willow, hello."
"Wow wes, recruiting or something?" willow said noticing the gang.
After a bit of chit chat outside Wes explained everything and their situation. Willow let them come inside, but no one was there. Buffy and Faith had taken Spike and the potentials out patrolling. Andrew just sat in awe of Fred. He was like a puppy dog on drugs.
^^^Graveyard^^^____________________________________
Buffy took the lead as Faith stayed in back. The girls walked through the graveyard, some with stakes others with crossbows. They walked towards the middle of the graveyard, while Faith peered around each moseleum, a little bit away from the girls, so spike took the back where Faith had been. Suddenlly Faith was thrown across the graveyard. She landed on her stomach on and Buffy stopped to look back at a group of vamps. Faith got up slowly. Spike and Buffy stood between the girls and the vampires. They were severly out numbered.
Faith grabbed a stake from her jacket pocket and ran at the vamps. No one had moved until she had begun to run and they watched her kick flip a vamp over and flip onto one's neck and stake it. Buffy was charged by the vampires and a brawl broke out. Kennedy shot her crossbow into one attacking Amanda. Spike punched two down. Buffy punched two into a moseleum. Faith spun kick one and he grabbed her leg and flipped her onto the ground. He pinned her and spike jumped over and staked it. Spike helped Faith up and they punched a vamp at the same time. Then two vamps rushed them. Faith ran over to Buffy who was now surrounded. They nodded and each took one of the others arms. As they held onto the arm they kicked, then swinging the other to the opposite direction kicked another and then throwing each other onto vamps and they staked 6. The last vamps were left. Some had run, but Buffy was left fighting on and Spike too. One knocked spike on the ground. The lady vamp sat on his chest and was about to kill spike, but Faith leaned and staked her, but fell onto spike as the girl dusted. She had fallen right where the girl had been and Spike looked at her. . . Buffy peered over and saw them. . .
