Author's Note: This is my first fanfiction, so please R&R. Constructive
criticism only, please. I know it's a tough world out there, but I need my
inspiration to keep writing! I hope you all enjoy!
Buffy walked through the cemetery, praying she wouldn't come across Faith. Faith wasn't exactly the person she wanted to see; she had destroyed her relationship with Angel and almost took her mother away from her. She knew she could always count on Faith to spoil her evening. So in about five minutes, Faith showed up.
Buffy hid behind a bush so she wouldn't have to confront her. But instead Buffy heard something that would be much to her advantage. Faith came up to a demon from behind, but before she could put her knife in his back, he turned around and caused Faith to drop her favorite dandy dagger from the mayor almost instantly. "Wha.what are you doing here? I thought you were dead."
"Yes, you would think that, wouldn't you? But I somehow manage to stand here before you, after my long recovery in a hospital. I have been called upon by your 'boss' to perform a very important task. Now, I would suggest you leave before I pick up that knife and use it to kill you myself," the demon replied.
"One more thing.why are you here? What is this 'task' the boss asked you to do?" Faith asked, sounding very frightened.
"Well, this may sound very childish, I suppose. But.that is for me to know, and for you to find out. Now run, before I do something you will deeply regret."
The demon slowly reached down for the dagger, but before he could even touch it's sharp and new blade, Faith was no where to be seen. He let out a laugh that scared Buffy to her very soul.

Buffy walked into the Library. Xander was there by himself, and Willow sat hand-in-hand with Oz. Giles was there, so they had obviously been called to a meeting. Cordelia was no where to be seen, which could be expected after what Xander did to her, even though it had been some time since then.
Buffy slowly walked in with her arms crossed in front of her chest with a frozen expression on her face, like someone had just died before her very eyes. Giles looked concerned-it was never good news to see a slayer scared.
"So Buffy, what is this urgent news you speak of?" Giles asked with deep concern.
"Last night I saw Faith. In the cemetery. And there was this scary guy there.don't know who he was. But I do know that he was trouble. He threatened to kill Faith with her own dagger. It wasn't exactly what I wanted to see. Especially since Faith somehow knows this guy, like he was something from her past she's tried to forget, but never can. Giles, I'm scared."
Giles didn't know what he could say that would make his slayer feel just a little happier. Faith wasn't exactly a perfect little angel. Any demon she knows must mean trouble. And knowing Faith, it was big trouble, as it always was with her.
After seeing the blank faces on all her friends, Buffy decided to speak up once again. "Giles, you're not saying anything. I'm scared, and you have nothing to say? You must have thoughts. Share. Please."
