Okay the time line for this story is a little messed up. But the main point
is that Faith ran away when she was 15 and never went to SunnyDale or meet
any of the characters in Angel and Buffy.
So this is L.A. The young woman thought to herself looking around. She always knew she wanted to travel. Anything to get away from her childhood. She had run away when she was 15. She just couldn't take it anymore, so she dropped out of school, took some money she saved up and left. Her mother must not have cared because no one came after her. No one would notice if she came or went, that's the way she liked it. Some guys showed up a year later, said they were with a council of some kind. They bothered her for a while but she got the message through for them to leave her alone, well that and something about "the other not dying" but every once in a while she would get weird calls from them. The whole thing freaked her out, but they weren't the types she saw hurting her. She was 18 now, soon to be 19. She would get a crappy job as a waitress or something, stay in a crappy apartment, usually steal what she needed, get enough money then leave any way she could. Now she was here. It looked like an okay city. She slowly walked out of the bus and looked around. "Hey, bright eyes!" She looked around immediately to see the bus driver still in his seat. "You know where you going? Gorgeous young thing like you can get hurt pretty fast in a city like this." "Yeah I'll be fine." And with that she walked off. Holding on to the black bag that was swung around her shoulder looking around her as she walked down the sidewalk. "Yep," she said to herself "Welcome home Faith."
"Quiet day." Wesley said looking up from his book towards Cordy and Gunn. He himself had just gotten to the city a month ago, when he ran into Angel and Cordy. Right after they bought this hotel and then soon met Gunn. Cordelia Chase was laying back on the couch and read a new magazine, and Gunn was sitting in the corner sharpening an ax. "You know, Wes most people would find the fact that there are no disgusting, evil creatures trying to rip us to pieces." Said Cordelia sarcastically. Without warning a very handsome young man seeming to be around 26 came down the stairs. "Anything yet." "NO!" The other three replied together. "Fine. I'm going out for a walk." He said grabbing a long black coat on a near by chair. His friends still occupied with what they were doing. "Don't every body try to stop me at once." He grumbled.
Faith had found a hotel room to stay in for a while, it wasn't the fanciest place but it was better then some of the places she had stayed over the years. "Least I've got food now" She thought to herself, looking at the groceries in her arms that she had just gotten from the corner store. She looked around. She was walking in a busy promenade. Fountains, hundreds of vendors every where, people talking happily with there family and friends. It brought a rare smile to her face, though she didn't know why. "Well better get home." She watched parents walking there young children home. A frown came on her face knowing what her first few years of life had been like. Her walking started to pick up pace. Soon she was on a side street only a block or two from her hotel room when suddenly some one jumped her from behind and threw her against a brick wall. She looked at him and froze. There was something wrong with his face. It was all crumpled up and his eyes were completely yellow. "What's a pretty thing like you doing out all by yourself." He asked with a smile that showed large pointy teeth. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" Faith screamed shoving him off of her with strength she didn't even know she had he reached for her again and punched then kicked him. She turned to run but he knocked her down. Suddenly a man ran by her. She looked around but all she saw for a second was some kind of dust. She looked up at him. He was pretty tall with brown hair and eyes. He was well built and had an extremely handsome face. "Are you alright?" "Yeah, yeah. I 'm fine. Where did what guy go?" "He....ran off." "She could already tell that he was lying but really didn't want to stay in this ally. She looked over to see her groceries on the ground. She gave out a sigh and went over to pick some of the spilled food out. She bent over to pick it up when the stranger came over and started to help her. "So what are you doing around here?" he asked with a general sound of interest. This made her nervous. Getting close to people was not on her list of things to do. A one night stand she could do but after that things get blurry. "Just staying at a hotel near here." She said quietly. She tried to pick up the refilled bag but felt a sharp pain in her arm. She must have hurt it during the fight. "Hurt your arm?" the stranger asked. "How did you know?" "Oh,...I saw you flinch. I could help you take this stuff back to your place." "Okay, what ever." She said suspiciously. She was starting to get nervous. She couldn't move her arm and he wanted to know where she lived, but still there was something about him that made her want to trust him. "I'm Angel" He said giving her a small smile. "I'm Faith."
Angel was walking slowly down an old sidewalk. He had left the hotel and had started wondering around and ended up on a street that he had never seen or heard of before. "I should have just stayed home." He thought bitterly. "GET AWAY FROM ME!" It was that yell of a young woman. He looked down the street to a vampire pinning a young woman against the wall. Suddenly she threw the vampire of her then punched him in the face and kicked him in the face. 'Wow' was the first thought that came to his mind. She would have to be incredibly strong to be able to do that. He saw her fall to the floor. He ran past her and stacked the vamp quickly so she wouldn't see. "Are you alright" he asked as he looked down as she turned over on the floor. Now that he was closer to her he could see how beautiful she really was. She had raven black eyes and dark brown hair. She had a gorgeous face and was wearing a purple tank top leather pants and a black jacket that show an outline of a beautiful body. "Yeah, yeah. I'm fine. Where did that guy go?" "He....ran off" only realizing how stupid it was after he said it. He could tell that she didn't believe him. She looked away from him and gave out a sigh and she got up and walked over to scattered groceries on the ground and walked over to help her. "So what are you doing around here?" he asked. Something about her seemed that she didn't know the area well. "Just staying in a hotel near here." She tried to lift up the bag of food but instead gave a small wince in her arm "Hurt your arm?" "How did you know?" The way she said it she obviously didn't trust him, or many other people. "Oh....I saw you flinch. I could help you take this stuff back to your place." He didn't want anything to happen to her. Where there was one vampire there were usually more, and she may be a fighter but she could fight with a hurt arm. "Okay, whatever." "I'm Angel." "I'm Faith."
