Faith sat on Willow's bed, her legs crossed and a bored expression on her face. She'd been sitting there for hours, watching Willow and Tara research. Researching never really was Faith's thing. The gang researched, she slayed.
The librarian knowing about Slayers had definitely been an unexpected and unwanted surprise, but they'd solve it and take care of it if needed.
"Faith?" Willow asked.
"Huh? What?"
"Me and Tara have been thinking... A new Slayer is called when the current one dies, right?"
"Yeah. So?"
"So may-maybe Buffy's a Slayer," Tara said.
"Buffy? A Slayer? Get out," Faith said. "There's no way that's possible."
"Think about it. She was attacked on her way home... At night. This was no ordinary human. No one could do that much damage."
"That doesn't make Buffy a Slayer," Faith said. "Demons don't care what they attack."
"But don't you think it's just a bit odd how our librarian transferred to our school just when Buffy did? And how he was the one to find her and stay with her?" Willow said. "I've read about Slayers. And in every book, a Watcher is mentioned. You don't have a Watcher, maybe there's a higher... Something out there that we don't even know about. And they don't know about you."
"Are you saying my being the Slayer was all a mistake?" Faith asked.
"No. It just... Wasn't supposed to be your time," Willow said. "Buffy could have been the Slayer longer then you have. She is tough."
"Can we just tone it down a bit?" Faith asked. "Who even knows that Buffy's the Slayer, or that any of this is really true? I mean... I could be the only Slayer."
"You're right. It was just a theory," Willow said. "But I still think we should tell Angel."
"Angel doesn't need to know about any of this," Faith said.
"But he's the one who got us all together, who set you right. We need him Faith."
"We can tell him, but we leave the part about Buffy out," Faith said, looking down at her hands. "I don't want him to get hurt. And if this turns out to be a big mistake..."
Willow nodded. "Ok. We'll tell him, but we won't tell him everything."
Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter =) I don't know when I'll be updating again, it may be a little while cause I'm going away on the weekend.
