Chapter 3

"Grandpa!" The girl said as she dropped her bags and lunged at Giles. On reflex Giles caught the girl but wasn't ready to support her weight, so both of them fell to the ground.

"Good Lord..." Giles said as he sat up. The girl was still on top of him crying into his chest and hugging him tightly. As soon as the others heard the noise the potentials and Faith came piling into the room.

"What the hell is..." Faith started until she saw Giles on the the floor with a young girl. "Giles, what the hell is going on?" Faith asked. A young girl on top of Giles, just didn't seem right.

Giles shot Faith a deathly glare before he responded.

"Bloody hell Faith, how should I know. All I did was open the door and this girl jumps into my arms." Giles said obviously agitated.

Before anyone else could say anything, Willow and Xander walk through the front door. As soon as Xander saw Giles on the floor with the girl in his arms, a smile spread across his face. Oh great, more people to witness my humiliation, Giles thought.

"G-man you old dog you." Xander said with a chuckle, only for it to turn into a wheeze as Willow elbowed him in the stomach.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here." the girl said between sobs as she stood and ran out the door. As she grabbed her bag from the porch, she didn't notice the small silver necklace around her neck fall off.

"Wait!" Giles said as he got up and ran to the door. But when he got there the girl was already gone. As he was about to turn around a small gleam of light flashed on the ground. As he bent over to pick it up, he saw that it was a silver necklace.

Not just any silver necklace, but it was one Jenny Calendar gave him years ago. For a moment he thought that he had dropped it, but as he reached for his neck he found that it was still there.

Jesse ran and ran until she got back to the warehouse that the time vortex took her too. As soon as she opened the door she fell to the ground and started to cry.

"God I can't face them yet!" she said aloud as she brought her hands to her face. Especially not Grandpa, she thought as she tried to fight back the rest of her tears.

"So this girl calls you Grandpa, jumps into your arms, and now you want us to find her?" Xander asked as the core scooby gang sat at the kitchen table.

"Yes that's what happened." Giles conferred as he clutched the necklace in his hand.

"Giles I didn't know that you had children." Dawn said at her place at the table. 'Much less Grandchildren she added silently.

"That's just the thing, I don't have any children." Giles answered matter-o-factly.

"Then why do you want to find her so badly?" Robin asked.

"Because of this." Giles said as he held up the necklace for all to see."This necklace was given to me by Jenny before... she died. But when I went outside I saw it lying on the ground." Willow just shrugged before she asked.

"So you dropped some jewelry, what does that mean?"

"I'm still wearing the necklace that Jenny gave me, the girl dropped this one." Giles explained.

"I think we heard enough about that girl." Faith spoke up for the first time.

"But..."

"But nothing Giles, I'm the leader now and we need to concentrate on defeating Caleb. " Faith stated as all eyes fell to her. Giles glared at her but said nothing as they started to talk about what there next move against Caleb would be.

The next night

As Jesse put the finishing touches on her grappling hook/swingline gun ( Think Batman the animated series.) she heard a loud explosion. Stilling herself, she gathered a few of her weapons and took off like a shot in the direction of the disturbance.

Everything was going just fine for Faith and crew as they battled the bringers. But what was strange was that there were only a few of them and there didn't seem to be anything important at there base.

That was until Faith opened a box. As soon as she did she instantly regretted it.

"Get down!" Faith shouted as she closed the lid of the box and the bomb exploded. Before the potentials could move an inch, the blast wave of the bomb through them on opposite sides of the room.

"Is everybody o.k.?" Amanda asked as she came too. As she looked around she saw that most of the girls were getting up and that they were alright. Except she didn't see Faith. Standing up she walked over to the sewer pool and saw a body face down in it.

"Faith!" she said as she moved down into the water to get her out. "Somebody help me!" she shouted as a few potentials got in the water with her and helped her get Faith out.

"Come on guys let's get the hell out of here." VI said. A deep-throated menacing growl echoes through the tunnels from somewhere not-too-distant.

Looking up they saw a turok-han. Before anyone could move another one appeared and jumped down on another potential and started tearing her to pieces. The other one quickly joined in.

Seeing that the other girls were scared witless, Kennedy decided to take leadership. Taking a bringers axe from the wall she struck out at the nearest Turokhan. Only to be knocked down a moment after.

As the ancient vampire was about to deal the final blow, the sound of clapping stopped it. As one the potentials and the vampires looked up to see a girl dressed in all black, clapping her hands.

"So that's how you handle a potential?" she paused for effect. Suddenly one of the beast's charged forward. Whipping out her grappling hook gun, she quickly shoots the demon in the heart, making him crumble into dust. "I hate being interrupted." she said as she dropped the gun to the ground.

"Now where was I. Oh yeah, if that's how you handle a potential, then let's see how you do against a real slayer." she said as she did a front flip and landed in front of the vampires.

As soon as she hit the ground she was a blur of action. Ducking under a clumsy left by one of the creatures, she kicked it in the stomach sending him into the wall. Sensing a another demon behind her she did a back kick and a straight forward punch at the same time, to knock the one behind her back and to keep the one in front of her at bay.

As the one she had kicked stood up, she did a rainbow kick that made his neck snap. As it fell to the ground three more came into view.

"This just get's better and better." she muttered sarcasticly as she jumped into a fighting stance. As one of them advanced a chunk of the ceiling suddenly breaks free and crashes to the floor. The Turok-han turn around only to face Buffy as she drops down from above, her new bladed weapon held at the ready.

As the three vampires charge her, she spins, her moves almost ballet-like as the blade bites into their flesh. She decapitates one and stabs another through the heart with the pointed wooden end of the shaft. Both instantly disintegrate into ash. The third grabs her from behind but she flips up and over, then brings her blade around in an arc, slicing through its throat. As the dust dissipates, Buffy turns to Jesse who is smirking madly at her.

"Get the wounded. We're leaving." Buffy said thinking the girl was just a potential.

"Are there more?" Kennedy asked Buffy as she stood beside Jesse.

"There's always more. Let's move." Buffy snapped as the girls ran off to collect there wounded.

Injured girls lie everywhere on the floor. Buffy, Anya, Dawn, Willow and the others help treat them with what limited supplies they have.

"Will, come here. She's losing a lot of blood." Buffy said as she patted a wash cloth on a potentials forehead.

"Got it." Willow says as she begins to treat the girl.Buffy sees Giles and Xander carrying Faith in through the front door and runs over to them.

"The room upstairs is ready for her." she says nodding to the unconcious form of Faith.

"Good." Giles replies

"I hope we're in time." Xander says with concern.

"Is she okay?" Amanda asked Giles. "Is she gonna be okay?" she then asked again, this time looking at Kennedy.

"I'm sure she'll be fine." Kennedy says with a smile. "Right?" she asked looking at Buffy.

As they talk, Jesse walks out of the Kitchen with some medical supplies. She however doesn't go unnoticed.

"Careful!" Xander calls out to Giles as he almost dropped her.

"I'm sorry Xander." Giles said not taking his eyes off of Jesse. "Amanda... Kennedy, would you two please help Xander take Faith upstairs." At there nods, he handed Faith over to them and walked down the steps.

"Buffy we need to talk." Giles said in her ear. After explaining a little about what happened the day before, Buffy looked over at Jesse. Unknown to them Kennedy was eavesdropping on their conversation.

"So you don't think she's a potential Slayer?" Buffy asked. Before Giles could answer, Kennedy spoke.

"Actually she is a Slayer."

"What?" Buffy asked confused.

"Well before you came to rescue us Buffy..." she stopped as she thought back to a few hours ago. The girl was simply amazing. "...she killed a few Turok-han without even breaking a sweat. But then before she did all that she called herself a Slayer." Kennedy finished.

Buffy looked at Kennedy for a few seconds and then over at Jesse.

"Well then I think we need to have a few words with the new slayer in town." Buffy said as she began to walk over to where the girl in question was standing. Giles and Kennedy hot on her heels.
