God! This car is to damn slow. I don't even want to think about what he could be doing to her...no, I won't go there. Faith is a slayer, she can take him down. I hit the steering wheel with my palm a few times. Urh, why did he have to bring Tommy? Whatever, it doesn't matter because he's safe at one of my friend's house now.
"Unless he finds him," I sigh to myself. He could've just ran from Faith and now he's on his way to get him again. I shake my head, no Faith wouldn't let him go. Ok, need to stop thinking about it and just get to where she is. A figure walks straight into the middle of the road that I'm driving on, limping slightly. My tires screech as I stop a few feet away from him. It's dark so I can't see his face but something in my stomach tells me it's him.
"Hey honey!" He calls and I swallow as his hands start to glow. He aims them towards the car as a wave of red comes towards it. As quickly as I can I jump out and roll away into a ditch.
"All baby, did I scare you!" He yells towards me with a hint of amusement in his voice. I get up from the dirty ditch and glare at him.
"No really, DEAR I'm fine." He smirks at me and I charge him. Running towards him as fast as I can before he gets to do another spell. I do manage to jump him and we both fall to the ground. I pin him down with all my might so he can't get loose. He tries to sit up but fails miserably.
"See that is Slayer strength, you might as well not even try to fight it."
"Well, I admit she was a bit to handle but I did get her down eventually." He smiles and I frown, Faith. I punch him as hard as I can in the face.
"Where is she!" I yell and he laughs as a line of blood comes out of his already beaten face.
"Just where YOU left her but you'll never make it in time to save her. After all you do have to deal with me my sweet." He smiles.
"Your right...and that's one problem I can make go quicker." I grab his throat and push him down hard as he gasps for air. He grabs my hands and tries to pull them off but I'm not budging.
"what's the matter Danny? Magic run out?" I say in a voice I don't even recognize as my own.
"Buffy...please." He struggles to get out and I can't take it, I let go of him. I never could kill anybody.
"Thank god." He says while catching his breath and I turn around to glare at him. He backs away in fear but I kick him dead in the face, knocking him out. I stare down at his unconscious body and decide I don't know what to do with him. I'm not a killer. I do the only thing I can think of, I pick him up, he's going with me.
After much running, which trust me isn't easy while carrying somebody, I finally get back to the motel where police cars and an ambulance are all around. A cop's eyes widen as he sees me and I let Danny fall to the ground. He runs up to me in shock and I struggle to catch my breath.
"He...he stabbed her." I say to his unasked question. He furrows his brow.
"How do you know?"
"Please, I'll explain but can I...can I check on her?" He sighs and nods to another officer who walks over to us.
"What's wrong, oh." He says while looking at Danny.
"Take this woman to the hospital, she's a, wait what are you exactly to the victim?" He asks and I swallow.
"I'm her girlfriend." He looks a little shocked by that answer.
"Yes, well escort her to the hospital but watch her. She does have some questions to answer." He said the last part to me and I nodded. I turn but he grabs my arm.
"Your just staying to see if she makes it or not." He commands.
"I know." I say softly. I spare a last glance at Danny before I turn to get into the cop car. He can't do anything now, he's just a regular human again. I could feel it when I almost killed him. As long as he's away from all the spells and magicky crap he should be defenseless...just like he had made me.
As I enter the cop car I watch them cuff him and wonder how much better my life could've been if I never had met him. How I wouldn't be driving away to the hospital to see if Faith would live or not. The only thing good he ever gave me is Tommy. Oh god, Tommy what am I going to say to him? I can't, I can't think about it right now. That time will come. For now I'm just going to worry about getting to this hospital. I place my forehead on the window and let out a long breath. She'll be alright, she'll be alright, god I hope she'll be alright.
