Oh well. Here's chapter 3!

She refused to let herself cry. She wouldn't. Buffy wouldn't. "How could a fucking dog take you out Bu-" She stopped herself and shook her head. 'No. I hurt to much to say her name right now. Must tell Giles... how the hell am I going to tell him? Giles... Something else will happen if I don't hurry.' Faith couldn't run though. Exaustion and grief were taking they're toll on the rouge slayer. Also the pain in her leg became an extreme burning sensation that went all the way down to her ankles and all the way up to her hip. So she merely hobbled along as fast as she could, biting her lip to try and shrug away the much unwanted pain.

Later

Faith arived in the front of Giles house. Compleatly drained of energy she pushed the door open. She looked around wearily. No Giles. No Willow. Just silence. Except for the faint noises coming from the kitchen. Something like... crying. Faith clawed the wall. The pain was too intense and she really didn't think she could make it all the way to the origin of the crying.

But she did. Instantly she was put in a state of shock. Blood. Blood all over the floor, the kife and Willow. The redhead was crying over the fallen wide-eyed Giles, who had a knife sticking out from his chest. "... I-I... I didn't mean to! He told me not to use magic! B-But I did and..." Willow's cries broke her already garguled sentence... Faith supressed her shock. This is wrong. This is very wrong. Before she knew what she was doing the slayer picked up the phone and dialed Bu- the Summer's number... It was busy. She tried it several more times.

"Shit!" Screamed the dark slayer. "Red stay here! I've got to get Dawn."

The wicca shook her head and whimpered. "Faith... please... I have to go... Faith take me to!"

Faith growled unhappily. She didn't get the urgent need for Willow to come along but it felt right. She nodded and tried her best to help her friend to her feet. She managed to do so but as soon as they were eye level some strange lust overtook her. She licked her lips in hunger but was knocked out of her dreaming when she tasted blood. "Come on!"

At the Summer's house

Willow was... feeling utterly and compleatly horriable. She... killed Giles, and Faith... Something was wrong with Faith. She wasn't responding to any questions she asked and refused to let the wicca look at her leg which was now drenched in thick oozing red liquids. Why did Faith come over anyway? Where's Buffy and why was it so important to get to Dawn? The questions were pouring out faster than Faith's blood and still there was no answere to any. Oh well. We're here now and we need to hurry up and go in already. Gently, the redhead helped the struggling slayer into the all too familliar house. "Dawn? ... Buffy?" The redhead called out noticing the look on Faith's face when she said Buffy's name.

Willow never got to question the paling girl however; for she found Buffy's little sister. She... had fallen down the stairs? Her broken neck and still body assured her... Dawn was gone. "NOOOO!" Willow was startled by the outburst, and possiably more startled my the tears that fallowed.

Faith was on her hands and knees crying. She bit her lip and gripped the carpet. After a few more tears the dark slayer stopped them. Willow dropped beside the obviously distrought girl but she waved her off when the bookworm tried to comfort her. "Call"- her voice was raspy and her breath was short- "Call 9-1-1 and then get the others down here" And with that the exausted and grief stricken slayer finally colapsed from blood loss. Willow rushed to the phone. She called an ambulance to come imeadiatly and for one for Giles. She called everyone she could think of: Xander, Kennedy and Angel. Before going back to the slayer's side.

"Please. Don't give up on me! You can't die! You can't die, too, Faith. We need you..." Willow's tears landed softly one the fighting warrior, "I need you"
