Chapter eight- Don't Mess With Slayers
Buffy and Faith again, sat there in silence knowing exactly that they were the two potential Slayers the young lady was talking about. While everyone else around them rushed off to do whatever they liked, Buffy and Faith slowly got up, put their rubbish in the bin and walked down the hallway not knowing exactly where they were going.
As they walked down the hallway they were about to pass a door, which said 'Training Room' and Buffy and Faith looked at each other and walked into the room.
They both didn't exactly know what to do with all their free-time but when they both looked at each they knew training would be a good way to spend their free time.
They both started their warm-ups doing basic Slayer moves, kicks, jumps, and gymnastics.
Faith practiced different gymnastic moves and made up a routine with them, while Buffy practiced her kicks and other fighting moves.
While training they tried to finished their conversation from earlier but it now seemed like this conversation was doomed to be finished because it was again interrupted with the gym door flying open with two girls yelling out,
"There you are!" at the top of their lungs.
"Where the hell have you been? How dare you just go running off like that and not tell where you were going. You made us get worried. You used to always tell us where you were going and what was wrong. What's happened to you?" said Kat.
"Who says she has to tell you where she went? Besides she isn't friends with you any more so why would she have to make sure you knew where she ran off? She doesn't want to be your friend; she doesn't want to be like you. She's different to you, your beneath her," replied Buffy.
"Yeah well Faith can speak for herself itty bitty girl, besides Faith is 'our' friend. She's been our friend since the beginning of this week, you've only been her friend for what, a minute? We know her better than you so you have no right to talk for her or tell us we're beneath her and that she doesn't want to be like us. Just because there was that incident earlier, it doesn't mean she's not our friend, she just got confused, she didn't really mean all the stuff, we truly know she didn't mean it and we want our friend back!" said Alyssa.
"Yeah, I can speak for myself but what Buffy said is just fine. Yeah you girls may have been my friend longer than Buffy but you two haven't learnt a thing about me in those four days but Buffy has learnt more about me and knows me better than you two and she's known me for like a minute. I don't think I made it clear before, I'm not your friend any more. I don't want to be like you two, you are both beneath me! I tell you what is wrong with me, I couldn't see through the lies you both told me and the council but now it's all clear, I can see through their plans and everything is revealing itself to me and my eyes," replied Faith.
"Cut the crap Faith, stop this act. I know it's just for the attention, we get it. We know you need help, we are here for you. We don't want you to be taken away like that girl India, so come back to us. Don't ever think that we would lie to you or the council, we have always told the truth, believe us, please. Buffy will be a bad influence on you, we know what's right, if you turn away from us, the council will turn their backs on you and send you away to the place where the last Slayer went and we all know she didn't go on a holiday," said Kat.
"Everything I've just said, is what I mean, it's all the truth. So just believe what I say, it's the end of our 'friendship', it's gone. Our friendship was based on lies from the beginning I can see that now. I know you have something to do with the council, just wait until I find out about it all, just wait," replied Faith.
Faith ran out of the training room and Buffy followed leaving Kat and Alyssa standing alone in the room. Kat and Alyssa now knew there were no more chances on getting Faith back and that they would be punished for not following council orders and keeping Faith as their friend and training her to be just like them.
The final bell of the day rang. It was the bell meaning dinnertime and Buffy and faith slowly walked to dinner, trying not to bump into Kat and Alyssa again. They found the same table from lunch and sat down. They started talking while waiting for the Watchers, other Council members and other potentials got there. As they were talking a young girl around their age sat down at the end of their table, didn't say a word but just sat their quietly while everyone else was talking.
"Whose that girl? Do you know her Buffy?" asked Faith.
"Yeah I know her from somewhere, but I can't remember where. Hmmm," said Buffy.
"It doesn't matter if you can't remember, I'm sure you'll remember later…" said Faith but was interrupted by Buffy.
"I think her name is Kendra, she was at the potential camp. When I used to go to the library she was there and I would sit near her. She must have got taken through the forest, poor her; she doesn't know what happens here. She must have remembered me from before, that's why she sat near us.," said Buffy.
"I don't remember her because I never got to know any of the other girls names except yours before I got taken away." said Faith.
"Good evening Watchers and Potentials. I'm glad you all made it here on time for dinner. Dinner will be served in just a few minutes but before we eat I would just like to let you all know that the problem we had earlier today will be dealed with as soon as possible, so I hope you don't worry about it okay, it's all sorted out now. Enjoy your meal," said Mr. Travers.
"Buffy. Tonight after lights out, we will sneak out of the cabin and go to the Council office and meeting room to see what we can find out about their new plan for us," whispered Faith.
"Sounds like a great idea," replied Buffy.
