standing with her mouth open. She approached her worried and gently placed a hand on
her back. Then she saw it, the blood trail. Their crate had been knocked over and
all the contents that were in it had been assumingly eaten. Around it was blood,
puddles of it and a trail that lead back into the jungle.
"What do you think it is?" Buffy asked the memory of what had happened in the
Springs shoved to the back of her mind.
"Werewolf maybe. Are their kinds that don't have to have a full moon?"
"I don't think so...really a Giles matter."
"Shit!" Faith yelled suddenly and Buffy looked at her worried.
"Weapons B, as in we don't have any." Buffy's mouth fell open as she to realized
this.
"Well you have that spear, right?" Buffy asked hopefully
"Yeah...but something tells me a wooden spear isn't gonna do much good against a
werewolf or whatever it is."
"Well then I guess we should make better ones then and maybe some traps?"
"Sure, I'll go get some stuff." Faith said then turned to leave. Buffy gently
grabbed her arm and she turned around, brown eyes connecting with green.
"I don't want you going alone." She stated and Faith sighed.
"What do you propose I do then B?" She let go of her arm.
"Get your spear and I'll go with you."
"I don't need a babysitter."
"I'm not going to baby-sit you. I just don't want you to get hurt." Faith nodded and
walked to go get the spear.
"Little late." she mumbled, forgetting about slayer hearing. Buffy frowned and
watched her walk away sadly.
They walked through the jungle silently. Faith clutched onto the spear in
her hand, anything could jump out at them. Buffy pointed to some sticks and Faith
nodded as Buffy went to get them. She came back with a large bundle in her hands.
"Back to camp?"
"We're calling it that now?" Buffy asked and Faith rolled her eyes.
"I guess, come on." the brunette said turning to leave.
"Are you okay?" Buffy asked walking to catch up with her.
"Peachy B." She replied as they neared the jungle exit. Buffy dropped the sticks
down then turned to Faith who was already cleaning out one of the empty food
containers. She picked one up herself and kneeled beside her.
"Are you gonna tell me what's wrong?" she asked softly, not looking at her.
"Are you gonna deal with what happened?" she retorted and Buffy looked her way.
"Is that what's wrong?" Faith didn't answer.
"I'm trying to talk about it now." She said and Faith sighed as she stood.
"ok then let's talk."
"What do I mean to you?" She said and Faith swallowed hard.
"What do I mean to you?"
"I asked you first."
"Yeah and I asked you second so I'll answer second." Buffy threw her hands up in the
air.
"You're such a kid!" she exclaimed.
"Am not!" Buffy glared at her.
"Fine! You want to know what you mean to me B!" Buffy nodded slowly and waited as
Faith ran a hand through her hair. She sighed then looked up to meet her eyes.
"Everything." She whispered. Buffy moved in closer to her as their lips met.
Sunnydale
"Giles...why isn't he answering?" Willow questioned
"I don't know. Maybe it's just a bad connection."
"What's a bad connection?" Xander asked as he walked in.
"This blasted radio. We can't reach Riley." Giles replied and Xander's eyes widened.
"Something's wrong on that island!"
"Xander calm down. It's just a bad connection." Willow said as she walked towards
him.
"How do you know!" He shot back and Willow didn't reply.
"Maybe Xander's right Giles." She said instead. He took of his glasses and began to
clean them.
"Ok, we'll go check on them tomorrow."
"Tomorrow! She could be dead by then!" He yelled.
"Xander, I'm sure everything is fine. We'll check on them tomorrow." He huffed but
agreed.
Island
The slayers kissed intensely as they laid in the sand. Buffy broke away as
they gasped for much needed air. Faith smirked up at her as she moved a strand of
hair behind the blonde's ear.
"Are you just avoiding my question now?" She said playfully. Buffy began trailing
kisses along her neck.
"I thought I was answering it." She replied as she leaned back up.
"Oh, okay." she said shrugging and pulled Buffy back down for another kiss but the
blonde stopped her.
"We have to set traps." She stated firmly and Faith hit her head onto the sand
groaning.
"Why?" she whined.
"Because we don't want whatever it is to kill us in our sleep."
"Wasn't planning on sleeping anyways." Faith mumbled and Buffy grinned.
"When I'm through with you..." She said running her hands along Faith's stomach.
"you'll need plenty of it." Faith stared at her in shock as the blonde got up. She
still laid there as Buffy picked her container to dig with off the ground.
"Of course...if we don't get this done we won't get to." Buffy said crossing her
arms. Faith sat up and grabbed her container as she went to dig the hole.
"Yes mistress." She replied and Buffy smirked.
After they had finished digging the holes. They placed sharp spikes made
from the sticks they collected at the bottom then set some sticks at the opening and
covered it with leaves. Now they just had to make some better weapons.
"We could use rocks." Buffy suggested and they began looking on the beach for some.
The sun began to go down as night came to take it's place. They hadn't collected
many rocks at all to use.
"Got to do with what we got I guess B." The blonde sighed but nodded in agreement.
As they sat in their covered area sharpening the rocks they heard a low
howl. The sound of feet padding across sand could be heard. They both looked at each
other with wide eyes as Faith slowly got up and gestured for Buffy to do the same.
"Tree." she whispered and got on one knee. She laced her fingers together and Buffy
stuck her foot in. She hoisted her up to a pretty far distance up in the tree. Then
jumped up to grab a branch herself and swing onto it. Faith pointed her finger
upward and they climbed until they were so high up you couldn't see them anymore
from the ground. straddling the tree branch Faith let out the breath she was holding
and leaned back onto the trunk. Buffy finished climbing up and straddled the branch
as well then leaned back onto Faith. The brunette smiled and laid her hands onto her
stomach, Buffy covered them with her own.
"Think we're safe?"
"Yeah, they shouldn't be able to find us up here. Then again there is that whole
problem about falling and breaking our necks." Buffy leaned her head back onto
Faith's shoulder.
"Damn traps weren't worth a shit." she grumbled. They heard a cracking noise and
then a loud howl of pain.
"Maybe not." Faith said.
"So...how long you think we're gonna be up here?" Buffy asked.
"I don't know probably till morning." Buffy began to lazily draw circles on Faith's
hand.
"I think there are werewolves that don't have to have a full moons now ." Buffy said
"Yeah but I think they sill don't like the day time very much. I mean look at the
time they finally decide to show up."
"What about the blood we found this morning?"
"I'd guess desperate times, might of been really hungry. Probably caught a pig or
something."
"Aw pigs are cute why'd you have to say that?" Faith lightly chuckled.
"That would explain Riley. Man am I happy you dumped that guy." Buffy stiffened,
which didn't go past Faith.
"B... are you still with Riley?"
"Technically yes but I mean come on ! How was I supposed to break up with him,
island remember?"
"You will though, right?" Buffy nodded.
"I promise, I only want you." Buffy turned her head up to look at her.
"Good." She whispered as she moved forward to kiss her. The brunette began moving her hands further up the blonde's stomach as they kissed. She reached her breasts and cupped them both, massaging as Buffy groaned into her mouth. Buffy's hands were planted on Faith's thighs as she unconsciously began to grind against the brunette. They both were beginning to forget they were in a tree until they nearly fell off. Faith grabbed around Buffy's waist with one hand and the trunk with the other, steadying them.
"Bad idea..." Buffy panted, her heart racing more then it was already. She leaned back onto Faith and the brunette placed her hands on her stomach again.
"Damn tree." Buffy stated and a howl sounded from below.
"Oh shut the fuck up!" Faith yelled and Buffy quickly covered her mouth.
"Shhh." Faith removed the hand from her mouth.
"Sorry, just a little cranky suddenly."
"I'm sorry baby." Buffy said and Faith lightly caressed her stomach.
"Not your fault B. Want to take turns sleeping and playing look out?"
"Sure." She kissed Buffy's cheek as she snuggled up against her. The blonde laid her head on Faith's shoulder, her breathe hitting against her neck. This didn't help Faith's current condition at all.
"It's going to be a long night." she muttered to herself.
