Buffy

I fall back onto my bed, staring at the ceiling. She's been gone for almost two days. I've gone out looking for her everyday but no one's heard from her. I wish Giles was here. He'd know what to do, or at least offer some comfort.

Xander's been looking for her just as much, if not more than me. Anya's been less chipper, and oddly not as annoying.

Dawn's been just fine. She's acting like she doesn't care about Willow at all anymore. The only emotion she has for her is hate. She felt so betrayed by her... well she's practically her sister, our sister.

I reach up and turn out my light when I hear a tapping. I look over and see Faith standing outside my window. I unlock it and pull it up, moving to let her in. "Can't B, not staying."

Oh. "What do you want then?"

"Thought I'd let you know she's alright," she says softly.

"She's with you?" I question as I gaze up at Faith, in jealousy and wonder. She just nods her head slowly. I glare at her, "I bet you're loving this."

She sighs, shaking her head moving down to the ledge. "Be seein' ya B."

"Faith!" I call out. She jumps down and lands quietly on the grass. She looks up at me. "I need to talk to her."

"It's not about you. Leave her be." She turns and runs off into the night.

I close my window and lay down, crying myself to sleep.

Just when I thought it couldn't get worse, I finally got my wish. I wasn't here anymore. But I wasn't there either. I wasn't anywhere, that anyone could see anyway.

I had just got my hair cut, for reasons we don't need to discuss, and was walking down the block. I get hit out of no where and suddenly I'm invisible.

Well isn't this interesting.

Its very freeing, walking around knowing no one can see you. You can go anywhere. I can go anywhere. Yet somehow I end up at the Magic Box. I need to work on my creativity.

I fill the gang in, well what's left of the gang. Anya and Xander start researching to try and find who did this to me. I decide I to spread my wings and go for a walk.

I swing by social services and visit Dawn's case worker. It doesn't take too long to drive her crazy and now I'm in the clear. I start trying to think of something else to do when I see Faith sitting inside a cafe.

I cross the street and look at her through the window. She's sitting the same as before, but now I can see her eyes. They're alert and looking around. Her slayer sense taking over. She finds nothing and shakes it off.

Just then I see Willow sit down with Faith. They smile at each other and Willow immediately starts to babble. Not a happy babble, she just hasn't stopped talking yet.

Hmm. It would be totally wrong to go over and listen in right? But I'm kinda hungry, maybe I should just check out the specials. I slip in after a couple leaving and stand against the wall, where no one would be likely to bump into me.

I slip closer to them, catching their conversation in mid sentence. "...he had the nerve to accuse me! I can't believe he thought I'd do something like that."

Faith sat there thrown for a loop. B's gone invisible girl? "Could it be those punks I told you about?"

Willow pauses, considering. "It's possible, but they've kept a low profile since you threatened them."

"Got a pen?" Faith asks. Willow digs one out of her purse and hands it to Faith. I watch as Faith scribbles something down and hands it to Willow. "Can you trace that? They've got a computer over there."

Willow looks behind her, to the row of computers. "Yeah, give me a few."

She gets up and Faith goes into the bathroom. I walk over and stand behind Willow. She's tracing a license plate number. She writes down the address and goes back to the table, just as Faith sits back down. "Here."

Faith takes the scrap from her and reads it. "I know where this is. I'm gonna go check it out. Meet you at home?"

Willow smiles and nods. "Be careful."

"Always, Red." Faith grins, leaving.

I stand there a minute, looking at Willow. She seemed so much like her old self. Why couldn't she be like that around her friends? I shake the thought from my head and go after Faith. Once outside, I see her turning down a street two blocks away and run to catch up.

After following her through a neighborhood she walks up to a house and starts looking inside the windows. She starts knocking at the door but gets no answer. She goes around to the back door and breaks the lock, letting herself in. I give her a minutes head start before following. I hear voices coming from downstairs. I descend slowly and see Faith pinning Warren up against the wall.

"What do you mean?" she spits at him.

He tries to signal the other two but Faith shoots them a look that keeps them in their place. She looks back at Warren, "I'm waiting."

"It'll kill her." Kill who? What's going on?

"And I stop this how?" I chide myself when I'm slightly surprised she's not the one trying to kill someone.

He nods over to a ray gun. "Use that. The settings are labeled. We weren't after her I swear. We stayed away like we promised. She was just there, and they panicked and it went off."

These were the guys attacking me? Wait, I saved Jonathan's life! I walk over and smack him on the back of the head.

"OW!" he whines, grabbing his head and looking around.

Faith shakes her head and grabs the gun. "If you guys know what's good for you, you'll quit this little take over the world thing." She reads the big board, chuckling. "You're already on my bad side, now you're on B's. Go for it and you'll be dealing with the chosen two and that's not good."

Chosen Two. Been a while since I've heard that phrase. I break a couple of their figurines as I follow Faith outside. We round the corner, she's walking but not to fast. Then she spins around, shooting me square in the stomach. Wasn't expecting that.

"I don't appreciate being spied on," she says as I materialize before her. She tosses the gun to me and continues on her way.
