Chapter 5 - Anyone for stake.

Night had fallen over Sunnydale once more, and as like most nights now the streets where empty of most living people. Apart from in one of the 43 graveyards of Sunnydale a girl was fighting a Vampire. Faith slammed her fist hard into the back of the leg of the vampire, which in turn fell forward to the ground. Faith then jumped up off the floor and flipped forward so she was over the top of the vampire, just right for the kill. The vampire rolled over from its front just in time to see Faith thrust her stake clean into its chest and then it was gone in a cloud of dust.

The graveyard was quite once again as she flipped her shoulder length black hair back from her face. Faith always loved her work as a slayer, in reality some times she liked it a bit too much. Just then Faith heard a noise, she jumped behind one of the head stones and waited to pounce on her next victim. Buffy came walking past the head stone Faith was hiding behind. With out even looking down Buffy spoke " Hi Faith, busy tonight is it? ". Faith stood up from the behind the head stone.

"Dam B, your good. How did you know I was there? " Faith replied to Buffy. "You foot was sticking out" Buffy said as she turned to face Faith. "So I take your in fighting form then? " Buffy asked, " You know me B, 5 by 5. " Faith replied. "That's Good, because we have company " Buffy nodded her head to one side. Two Vampires came from behind the bushes to the left of Buffy and Faith.

"Hi Boys, Do you think they want to play? " Faith asks Buffy. " Yeah it kind of looks that's way . " Buffy replies. One of the Vampires jumps at Faith, catching her off guard and knocking her to the ground and landing on top of her. "Hey don't you think I should know your name first! " Faith tells the vampire in her mocking way just as she flips him off the top of herself with ease..

The second Vampire go's to hit Buffy, but she is ready for it. With a quick spin and a right kick, Buffy knocks the second Vampire clean off its feet. The Vampire recovers it self quickly and is back on its feet before Buffy can get to it. Faith punch's the first vampire hard with a left hook, followed by a second right hook. The first Vampire blocks the next punch from Faith and kicks her legs out from under her. Faith lands on her back once again and notice's for the first time stood next the tree's is a black hooded figure and a white rabbit with bright pink eyes.

With a forward somersault Buffy lands behind the second Vampire and stakes it with ease. The Vampire looks down at the stake sticking out of its chest and turns to dust. Faith regains herself and flips back and then forward, back onto her feet. The remaining vampire takes a swing at Faith, but with a fast roundhouse kick she knocks its backwards. Buffy now notice's the black hooded figure and white rabbit stood near the trees. Another punch, and another lands into the last Vampire knocking it off balance and up against a tomb stone. Faith sees her chance and with a thrusting blow with her stake, turns the remaining Vampire into dust.

Willow came around the corner just in time to see Faith finish off the Vampire she was fighting. Willow was about to say something but then she noticed that Buffy and Faith was looking at another person. Faith turned to face Buffy and then they both looked at the hooded figure, then a women came out from behind the tree's and stood next to the hooded figure. Buffy looked at the women who she recognised, it was Amy's mother. Amy's mother was chatting and then raised her hands. They was a blinding flash of light and then both Buffy and Faith felt them selves falling. Willow let out a scream as both Buffy and Faith disappeared in balls of flames. The hooded figure turned and looked at Willow as did the white rabbit. Willow placed one of her hands over her mouth after she had realised what she had done. Again Amy's mother started to raise her hands, but this time Willow turned and ran.
