"Yes." She smiles and kisses me hard. As much as I was enjoying her excitement I had to pull her off.
"I mean positive like-ow!" She hits me hard on my arm.
"Proof?" She asks while I rub the sore spot on my arm.
"Yeah, proof. You know you could've just snapped a chair or somethin'." I replied and she smiles.
"To easy. Now come on we have to go. There's a certain warlock I'm just dieing to see." I cringe at the word dieing.
"Had to put it like that, huh?" I ask.
"I'm not going to die Faith and neither are you." She states but I frown.
"and him?" I ask quietly. He may of been a shit for a husband but he's still Tommy's dad. I know what it was like growing up without one and let's just say it was a less then pleasant experience.
"I don't know." She said honestly.
"If it comes to that I may have to but if I can...I'll-"
"We'll." I cut her off and she grins.
"We'll try to get rid of his powers. He can't do anything then and Tommy can still see him." She's still frowning though.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't think it'll end like that though." She replies sadly and I nod, knowing it most likely won't either.
"Only one way to find out." I say as I stand up and grab my pants.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm ready to get this over with, once and for all." I reply, searching for the remainder of my clothes. She gets up as well and starts to get dressed. We finish quickly and walk to the door. I open and am shocked to see him leaning against the frame.
"Hi, brought you something." He smiles and nods his head to the car. My eyes widen as I see Tommy sitting patiently in the car.
"This is between us not him." I say angrily and he frowns.
"No, you had no right getting into this but you just had to interfere!" He yells at me and I see his hands begin to glow. Something smacks him hard in the face and he falls on to his ass. Buffy walks up behind me.
"She has every right to get involved."
"You can't hurt my girl and get away with it." I smirk and he growls.
"Fine!" He snarls and starts to chant in Latin once again. Dammit, I kick him in the face but to my surprise it doesn't knock him out. He must have some kind of spell going or something.
"Bitch!" He yells and sticks his palm towards me as a burst of red light rushes towards me. I groan as a burning runs along my whole body and I fall to the ground. I here more grunting as Buffy begins to fight with him.
"You son of a bitch!" she yells and I look up through blurry eyes at the car, the door is opening. Shit, Tommy is coming over here! I try to get up but the burning just worsens.
"Daddy?" I hear him ask lowly and see Danny whirl around.
"Get back in the car!" Danny yells at him and I try to get up again, the burn lessening now. I feel two arms helping me up and know it's Buffy.
"Are you ok?" She whispers but I don't get to answer as Danny turns suddenly and makes us both fly into a wall.
"What are you doing daddy? Are you and mommy fighting again?" He asks fearfully.
"No son, mommy has just been bad ok? You know that when your bad you have to be punished right?" The boy slowly nods and Danny smiles. Dude, is seriously messed up and if he keeps talking to Tommy like that, the kid will be in therapy till like thirty.
"Good. Now go wait in the car." He said and ruffles his hair. With slumped shoulders the boy walks away. During his little conversation with the boy me and B both had enough time to recuperate from his attacks.
"Once I kill you...I'll get him someone who can show me respect." He growls.
"Not bangs the first tramp she can find!" He exclaims.
"First of all, not going to happen." I punch him hard in the face as he falls to the ground, trying to start chanting again.
"Second-" Buffy kicks him square in the balls and he yelps. " she's not a tramp"
Ow, that's going to put a damper in his magic. I turn to Buffy with a serious tone.
"Get Tommy and leave." I say while he's recovering. "He doesn't need to see all of this." Buffy looks doubtful but then looks to the car. I know she won't disagree with me on the last part. She places her hand on my cheek.
"I'll be back." I swallow and nod. God, I really hope so. She runs to the car as Danny starts to get up. He looks a little worn out now, points for me. The sound of tires screeching away goes through my ears as Buffy drives away. Just me and him now. I grin slightly, time to do some serious damage on this bitch.
"So, I here you like to beat up on defenseless girls, huh?" I ask him as he's rubbing his hands together. He doesn't reply, to busy trying to get his magic working again. I go to kick him but stop as I see something that frightens me a little, his eyes just went completely black. Oh snap, this is going to be tougher then I counted on. He's going full out with me but that can have it's good points to. I just have to stay alive until he runs completely dry for awhile.
"Right now, I'm just wanting to get you out of my life." He snarls and sticks his hand towards me and pulls back. I feel myself get pushed forward and his hands around my throat. I gasp for air as he starts to lift me. He got a little stronger too.
"Never wanted to be in your life in the first place." I say right before I kick the tip of my boot into his stomach. He doesn't do much but at least I got him to let go of me. He rubs his stomach with both hand and glares daggers at me.
"You'll die!" He yells and punches me before I can stop him. I hit the ground hard and see him raise his shoe to kick me in the face. Rolling away I wince as I see how hard his foot hits the pavement, that could've been my face. I stare up at him through my eyelashes and grit my teeth.
"Why her?" I manage to get out and he shrugs.
"Why not?" I stand and we both begin to circle each other.
"Because B didn't deserve to have to deal with someone like you."
"Yeah, 'cause you were so much better, right?" Yeah, so I might have been somewhat of a shitty girlfriend but at least I never beat her...well not when she was defenseless and just because I could. She was hitting me to!
"Better then you." I say through clenched teeth and he laughs.
"Yeah, you were terrific. If you wouldn't of left her...she would've never have had to deal with me." He says and I can't help it. I charge him and we both fall to the ground. We wrestle for awhile and he may be a warlock but I'm still a slayer. So I get the upper hand eventually and pin him to the gravel face first. He grunts and tries to push up but I hold him firm against it.
"Your lucky...if you weren't Tommy's dad I would of snapped your neck long ago." He grunts and starts to reach for something in his boot. I see the handle sticking out and know he's got a nice knife stashed away there. I go to grab his hand but he takes this as an opportunity to push up with all his might. I don't fall away completely at first, I've still got a hold on his neck. Well, I did until he decided to head butt me right in the fuckin' nose.
"Shit!" I yell as I fall back. I check for blood then look up in time to see him come down towards me with the knife. I roll away but not before he manages to stab me in the side. I groan at the feel of the cold metal inside of me, light trickles of blood coming out now. I can't move, the pain hurts to much.
"God, I hope Buffy isn't as stubborn as you." He said as he catches his breath from our fight.
"Need this though if I'm gonna take care of her properly." He grabs the handle and pulls it out of me then stands. I yelp and feel more blood gushing out of me now. My head feels dizzy and my vision is blurry.
"She'll kick your ass." I say through gritted teeth and he stops smirking.
"You know...just for that comment I think I'll take my time killing her. Might even let little Tommy watch." He says and I use any strength that I have left in me to leg sweep his ass onto the ground. He groans and slowly stands up again. Yeah, I did some damage on his ass. Buffy can take him without me.
"I'm tired of you bitch. Just die already." I cringe. I can feel it, he doesn't have to remind me. My only regret is that I won't get to see B again.
"Here I'll help." He says before he stabs me again. This time in the stomach. He pulls out and now I'm bleeding more. Well fuck me, whatever chance I had of surviving just flew out the window I think.
"Nighty night." He says in a sickingly sweet voice. Only one thing repeats in mymind as I slowly pass out from lack of blood. I'll miss you B.
