challenge: zombies, toothpick, frailty.
Summary: Spike and Faith,
in an AU BtVS Season 3.
Spike sat down at their table and watched as Faith pierced a lime wedge with her toothpick, toying with it.
"Gonna start staking vamps with that, eh pet?" he joked.
She grinned in reply, but her haunted eyes held no humor.
Spike sighed. Two nights ago, they'd been attacked by zombies, which were hardly a challenge if not for the overwhelming numbers. When they discovered that her pseudo-dad Mayor Wilkins had sent the zombies, Faith had closed herself off.
Spike sometimes forgot that underneath her hard-as-nails exterior was the frailty of a lonely little girl.
He just wished Faith understood that she wasn't alone anymore.
