Once in LA she had booked into a hotel near the Hyperion, one that had child care facilities. She had put Eliza down there with the rest of the children.
She was now standing outside the Hyperion hidden by the ferns. She had been standing there for about 1 hour and still didn't have the courage to go in. Her initial instinct was to run in and find Angel and fling herself into his arms but something kept her back.
She decided to see first how he was before announcing her presence. So she scaled the building in only a way a slayer can and found an open window. She sat there unseen and watched quietly as people who were once familiar to her walked back and forth the room. This is the scene as seen and heard by Buffy.
A black man was talking to what looked like a not so stuffy British man. There was also a girl who Buffy could only describe as sluttish walking around holding a stake and talking about how badly she needed action. Buffy held her breathe as Cordelia came in and told the girl off including a name so now Buffy knew she was Faith. Faith then said "But Wes only brought me here to help you people so that does involve action right." Cordelia scolded and said "We only need you because there is no way Angel can handle this one by himself." Faith scoffed and said "And how is the not so unhappy unvampire anymore."
Buffy looked on confused unvampire how does someone become unvampired. She watched as Cordelia said "happy". Faith licked her lips and said "I bet he is, and you, are you Happy?" Faith raised her eyebrows at this and Cordelia blushed and said "My sex life is none of your business" Faith said "But there is a sex life?" Cordelia slapped Faith's head and said "Is that all you think about".
Buffy tried not to make a sound as she tried to comprehend what she had just heard, Angel with Cordelia. Well he should have moved on right, she should be happy!
She nearly fell off the window when she saw Angel walk in with a smile on his face. He looked good, all suntanned and those gorgeous muscles. She bit her lip and tried to stop the tears that threatened to come out. She watched as he walked over a gave Cordelia a kiss on the lips before saying "Hey Faith you come to help out with the new Apocalyptic event."
Faith said "Hell yeah" Wesley spoke up and said "We have all the ingredients we need to close the gates to Illyria's world so I believe we can start." Faith nodded and licked her lips saying "Yep so what do we have to do again."
Wesley rolled his eyes and said "The scrolls says that we need the blood of the most powerful slayer, the blood of the revived vampire, the blood of the seer and then an incantation and I believe that will close the gate. It needs to be right or else this whole thing will be immensely painful, Angel you first then Cordelia followed by Faith."
Buffy tilted her head at this and watched as Angel nodded and looked at Faith expectantly. She watched as Angel cut his finger and passed the knife to Cordelia and she in turn passed it to Faith. Angel first put his blood in which called a small burst of light, Wesley begun chanting in Latin. Cordelia dripped her blood on the floor and the burst of light became bigger. Faith was about to cut her finger and let the blood drip when Buffy quickly cut her finger on her own knife and let the blood drip into the centre of the room. There was an immense flash of white light and Buffy scrambled out of the window and made a dash for the outside.
Meanwhile inside the room Faith stared in shock at the knife which had not yet cut her finger and at the other people in the room who had yet to notice. Wesley smiled at everyone and said "Well I would say that was a success". Faith was looking up at the spot where Buffy was originally sitting and where the blood had dripped from. Angel turned to her and said "What?" Faith looked from the spot where the blood had fallen to her own hand and said "that wasn't my blood."
Angel eyes narrowed and said "But it had to have been slayers and as far as I know you are the only one here".
Faith shook her head and said "There was someone up there." Angel followed her gaze and said "Maybe we didn't really need your blood." Faith sighed and said "maybe" her gaze never straying from the window sill.
Chapter 5
Buffy clutched her heart and sat outside for a few more seconds before turning back to the window. She listened closely and heard the sound of people walking around and talking to each other. She heard Angel's voice reassuring Faith not to worry and then heard the unmistakeable sound of kissing.
She bit her lip and tried not to cry but instead got up slowly and jumped down from the window sill. She walked slowly out to the road and closed her eyes for a second letting one tear escape before taking a deep breathe and turning to go back to her hotel. She nearly jumped out of her skin when a hand was placed on her shoulder. She spun around to see the woman from the hotel, Faith standing in front of her. She took a quick step back and said "Um hi what do you want?" Faith folded her arms across her chest and said "You were spying on us." Buffy immediately said "No I wasn't!" Faith rolled her eyes and said "I'm not stupid so let me guess your Buffy!" Buffy mouth fell open and she said "How?" Faith shrugged and said "I've been a slayer for 6 years I've seen pictures and I can feel you."
Buffy said "Your not going to tell them are you?" Faith shrugged again and said "Not much too tell anyway too much fun knowing something they don't you know?" Buffy smiled and said "Thanks." Faith smirked and turned to go but turned quickly and said "See you around B".
Buffy frowned and said "Don't call me that!" Then she was about to go when Faith said just soft enough for her to hear "He still misses you". She turned to say something but found no one there.
Buffy bit her lip but shook it off choosing instead to go back to her daughter. She didn't notice Faith following her back to the hotel.
