Prologue

She didn't want to die.

It wasn't cloudy whisper in the back of her mind, or the muddled white noise that had been in her head since her return from Heaven. It was loud, clear and hit so hard she stumbled. She had gasped in shock; the Girl had given up, hit rock bottom. The Girl was about let Spike fuck her in a alley, to do nothing but exist till her time on the planet ceased to be.

But the Slayer fought back.

The Slayer refused to let a soulless demon fuck her. She had been the one to push Spike off and kick his ass, leaving him lying bloody in the alley. The Slayer had been the one screaming at her, that she was better than this, that there was more than just being. That there was life left to be had. The Slayer wanted to more than to exist, she wanted to live, to fight and feel, not die away in some pitiful hole with a demon that couldn't even kill. She was the light in the dark, not the dark itself. The Slayer never gives into the darkness.

And in moment, the Slayer made the Girl believe, the Slayer made the Girl want to live.

So Girl and Slayer pack their bags in the middle of the night, and headed to the only person left in to the world who could make them feel truly alive.
