Okay guys: Part One, Chapter Two
A Little 'Previously on Comatose' For All of You:
i"What the-" Faith said, getting up. A flashback went through her mind, seeing the whole accident. The vampires, the van, Buffy-/i
iShe got up quickly. "Buffy?!" Everything came rushing back:/i
b"Is this a friend or family member of Buffy Summers?" Willow gulped. "Yes?"
"I'm afraid there's been an accident." The Man said./B
iThe fight, those horrid six vampires. Pinned her down- How dare they?! Then Buffy and a monster fought in the street and a truck, a delivery truck, came and almost-/i
b"Wake up, Buffy!" Willow said, staring at her best friend./b
i"Here's home," The child said. Faith and Buffy trembled, remembering the last time she'd entered the home. It smelled like Joyce./i
B"Buffy has some minor cuts and bruises, some muscle damage on her shoulder, and a pretty bad cut on her forhead, but I think she'll be fine." He looked over at Faith. "I'm sorry, but Faith may have permanant brain damage."/b
i"Buffy?" Joyce said, entering the house with groceries.
i"Mom?!" Buffy exclaimed, running down the stairs.
bDawn returned to her sister's bedside.../b
i"You're never going to get out of here." Molyl whispered./i
b...and curled up beside her sister. "Where are you," She asked almost telepathically./B
"I've got doughnuts!" Xander said, entering the room with a big Krispy Kream Box. It sure didn't help the anticipation of the girls waking up.
"Did you call Robin?" Giles leaned over and asked Willow. She nodded sleepily in return.
She stood up and walked over to Buffy and Dawn. "Dawni?" She whispered, gently shaking her shoulder. Dawn opened her eyes and said, "Oh!" She rolled off the bed and looked in a mirror to fix her hair.
"Giles, can you give her a lift to school?" Willow asked. Giles stood up from his chair tiredly and grabbed his jacket.
"Coffee, anyone?" Robin Wood said, entering the room with a doggy-bag full of JavaLava Coffee. Dawn grabbed one on her way out and Xander held out a jelly creamed doughnut, in which she accepted.
"See ya," she said, and closed the door behind her. Robin placed the coffee down on a table and dragged a chair up to Fiath's bedside.
Meanwhile, Xander was digging in on his fourth glazed doughnut.
"Behind you, Buffy!" Faith yelled as she struggled to fight the one that she'd been beating on all night. It was actualy quite odd that the vamp had slammed her head into quite a few headstones, but she didn't feel the pain.
Buffy, meanwhile was amazed that her arm, which should have been broken by now, was perfectly fine and movable. The vampire came at her from behind and she staked him good. Faith had it pretty much under control, punching her vampire and switching sides with him. She grabbed the stake out of her back pocket and the vamp kneed her to the ground.
"Ow!" She yelped. But then surprised, it didn't hurt. The vampire kicked her again in the gut with as much force as a semi hitting a deer. She took his ankle and twisted it, him ending up on the ground. She jumped up and staked him.
"Awesome." Faith said. "I think I like this realm, it's not painful!" She smiled and looked down at her watch. 8:55pm.
Wood looked up at the clock in the hospital room. 8:54pm. Just then, Faith spit blood up and some got on Wood's hand. The others had gone out for takeout, and he was the only one there.
Faith spit up more blood and her sheets and pillow were now the color of a deep red.
"Doctor!" He yelled, letting go of her hand. He ran out the door and into the hallway, waving his arms about. "We need a doctor in here immediatly!"
Faith looked down at her mood ring on her thumb.
"Why is it always black?" she asked aloud.
"Hmm?" Buffy mumbled.
"Oh, nothing." Faith replied. She tasted blood in her mouth. She hated the taste of blood. They continued walking and Molly decided to join them.
"Hey there," Buffy said, looking down at her.
"Hi Buffy." Molly replied. They continued walking until they hit The Summer's House.
"Hey, kiddo." Faith said. "Where do you live? I'll walk you home if you want." Molly grew silent and replied, "I don't have a home. My mommy and daddy are alive."
"What?" Faith and Buffy said in unison.
Robin Wood sat silently in the chair that had been sitting next to Faith's bed when everyone came back. Giles was the first to notice that Faith's bed wasn't there.
"Dear Godsh, where is she?" He asked histerically. Robin looked up with bloodshot eyes.
"ICU." He said, still lookign at the ground. "Took her back a few minutes ago." Willow walked over to him and patted his back, then sat down in her own chair. "They won't let anyone back there yet," He continued, "said that there'd be a doctor down soon." He stood up and paced.
Xander looked down and then up again, his eyes darting around the room.
Dawn left the room quickly, running towards the Chaple. She knew the way, for she had been there quite a few times when her mom was in the hospital.
Now at a dead run, she bumped into a nurse, but didn't bother to apologize. Doctors, patients, and people dodged out of her way.
Dawni pushed open the doors to the chaple, dropped to her knees and clasped her hands together. Her eyes were tightly shut and she started praying.
Buffy finally opened her eyes and stood up from her kneeling stance. She missed going to church. She smoothed out her dress and looked back at Faith.
"Ready?" Faith asked her. Buffy smiled a little and nodded, silently walking behind Faith the the exit.
"There's something about churches that feels so renewing." Buffy said.
Faith was silent as they continued to walk silently. Molly appeared by their side almost immediatly after that, and scared them both pretty well.
"Hello," she said, "How are you?"
"Good, I guess." Faith replied. Molly's burns on her face had bothered her for the past few days, but now she didn't notice them.
"And you?" Buffy asked her.
"Same as always." Molly responded. Faith exchanged glances with Buffy, but broke off when Molly disappeard.
"That kid ireally/i freaks me out sometimes." Faith said.
"Doctor, may I speak to you outside?" Giles asked. Doctor Turner nodded and followed Giles outside the door.
"What happened?" he blurted.
Dr. Turner pondered for a moment then looked up. "Faith's stomach was badly bruised, which hadn't been there when she came in. We think she has some internal bleeding and as a result she started coughing up blood."
"Oh," Giles said, "are you going to do anythign about the internal bleeding?"
"Still working on it." Turner replied. "The only problem was, her stomach wasn't tender like it would have been if there was internal bleeding."
Giles nodded and returned inside.
Robin, now, sat beside her hand in hand. It almost killed Giles to see two injured Slayers, and this one to be hooked up to a breathing machine.
"I'm going to call Wesley," he left the room once more and headed for the payphones.
"Can we at least move her back to the regular wing of the hospitao?" Willow asked.
"Well," Dr. Turner replied. "we'll do the best we can." He replaced Faith's charts by the I.V. and checked her fluids. "I'll get a nurse in here to replace these bags." He mumbled to himself, then left.
Willow followed, "I'm going to check on Buffy." The door closed gently behind her.
"Welsey," Giles said into the phone. "We have a problem."
"What?" Wesley replied in Los Angeles. "What's happened?"
"The girls," he said, referring to Buffy and Faith. "they were in an accident." Wesley, gasping shortly on the other end of the line said, "Well, are they okay?! What Happend?!"
"A truck hit Faith and Buffy was knocked unconcious." Giles replied.
"Shall I come?" Wesley asked.
"I suggest." Giles replied, hanging up. He turned around and went to visit Buffy.
The afternoon, Faith had just gone downstairs to what was her new bedroom. Sprawled out on her bed, she had cuddled her teddy bear Robin had given her for Christmas. She missed him a lot.
Sleeping the afternoon away, Faith began to dream- no, not dream, have nightmares.
b"BUFFY!" she screamed, pushing her best friend aside. She slid up the hood of the car and her head smacked the windshield so hard that it cracked the windshield. She rolled off the truck and landed head first on the cement./b
Still alseep, Faith's hand gripped her head tightly.
bHer eyes were still open when the ambulance came, but their voices were so muffled that she couldn't hear a thing they were saying. "Buffy..." she whispered. Finally, her eyes rolled to the back of her head and her eyelids shut./b
bIn the hospital lay two girls, so bruised that they could barely be identified. Both injured badly and in comas./b
b"Brain damage, I'm sorry." The doctor said./b
Faith cringed at the nightmare and squeezed her eyelids shut.
bThe brunette coughed up blood, and the man next to her caleld for a doctor. many people came in and wheeled her away to a room where she was alone./b
"Scared..." Faith mumbled, small tear drops falling down her cheeks.
b"She may never wake up-"/b
"I'm awake!" she tried to scream, but something down her throat wouldn't let her. She looked around the room in panick.
iA hospital,/i she thought, trying to get out of the tangle of I.V.'s she was stuck in. Then, the newest discovery...she couldn't move. Faith shrieked, trying to move her head, then her whole body. Robin, sleeping next to her in a chair, didn't notice.
She tried to grab the call button for a nurse, but of course, she couldn't move her hands.
She tried to yell for help but instead she started hacking and coughing due to the tube down her throat.
"Faith?!" They were calling. "Are you okay?" But...she was gone.
"Faith?" Buffy called, looking behind the stairs.
"Where'd she go?" Joyce asked uncertainly. Buffy shrugged and looked under the bed, in the closet...but she was knowhere.
