I'm sorry if this chapter sucks...I had a bad case of writers block and it took me a long time to get this one chapter out.

Chapter 7: What Nature Brings

Josephin smiled as she saw both slayers walking hand in hand. "I take it you two have finally worked things out." Buffy blushed slightly as Faith smiled proudly. "Yeah, I always knew B couldn't resist my hottness." Faith said winking at the flushed blonde. "Whatever." Was all Buffy could say. "No success fishing?"

"We were kinda busy with other stuff." The brunette smirked making Buffy blush an even deeper shade of red. Josephin smiled at the display. Faith sat on her makeshift bed dragging Buffy down next to her. "So what's for dinner then?" Faith asked. "Same thing we've had for the past week and a half." Josephin answered handing her a fruit. "More mangos."

"I'm sick of mangos and bananas." Buffy pouted. "Well it's all we've got for now, as soon as I see some sort of animal we can eat, I'm killing it." Faith said making slashing motions withan imaginary knife. "Now that I think about it, isn't it a bit peculiar that we have not seen any animals while we have been stuck in this wretched island?"

"Yeah, it's almost like they're hiding." They sat there contemplating that fact for a while. Thinking nothing of it they continued to chat about nothing in particular until they were all tired and went to sleep.

Next morning

A drop of water falls from the sky directly into the sleeping blonde's face. "Five more minutes mom." Buffy grumbles in her sleep swatting her arms around and hitting Faith's chest in the process. The brunette suddenly sits up alarmed. "Huh? what?" She looks around, confusion written all over her face. She then wipes the drop of water that fell on her face as she looks. There were dark clouds covering the sky and fat drops of water were falling. Looking down once more she shakes the blonde beside her.

"B, wake up. It's starting to rain." The blonde swats Faith's arms away grumbling incoherent words. "Ugh, I swear that if thunder struck right now she still wouldn't wake up." As if someone was sending a sign from above, thunder was suddenly heard. Both, Josephin and Buffy, awoke at that instant. The blonde sat up looking confused as Faith helped Josephin up from her position on the floor.

"It's raining." Buffy stated. "Nothing gets by you, does it." Josephin said with a smile on her face to show she was kidding. "It looks like a storm is coming." Faith noted as she felt the wind start to pick up speed. "We should find a safer place. I don't think standing in between a whole bunch of trees is very secure." the blonde said looking up as the trees began to rock with the wind.

"I know where there is a small cave, we could hide there until the storm is gone." Faith started walking leading the way. Suddenly lightning struck a couple of feet away from them making them all jump back in fear. A couple of trees fell down and fire started spreading through the jungle.

"We have to hurry before things get worst." Buffy said helping Josephin over the fallen tree. Rain started to pour down on them as they walked fast towards the waterfall. Thunder struck once more a couple of feet away from them making more trees tumble to the ground. Jumping back just in time, Faith sighed in relief as she was able to escape a falling tree. "We won't make it at this pace. B, you go ahead I'll carry Josephin."

"No way! I'm not leaving you two behind." the blonde said. "Buffy, you have to go ahead to make sure the path is clear and there are no more fires or fallen trees." Faith explained. "Oh, well if you put it that way...I won't let you down." Bringing two fingers to her brow she mock saluted and quickly walked away. Picking the pregnant woman up with ease, Faith started making her way through the trees towards the waterfall.

The blonde was running through the jungle, not being held back by anything, she quickly gained a lot of ground between her and two brunettes. She soon found herself at the waterfall. Carefully walking on the rocks she made her way behind the waterfall where the cave is. As she entered the cave a deep growl could be heard. It was dark inside the cave, but when lightning came down the cave became illuminated and she was able to see a pair of yellow eyes.

Buffy started to back out of the cave slowly never turning her back on the creature. Lightning brightened the cave once again and Buffy could see that the creature was a big leopard dangerously crawling towards her. The blonde ducked as the huge beast jump through the air as it attacked nearly hitting her. The leopard landed gracefully on it's feet and turned preparing for another attack. Buffy glanced behind her and seeing no escape she crouched into a fighting position facing the big cat.

The spotted feline pounced once more and Buffy was able to evade the attack by doing a somersault towards the entrance of the cave. Not giving the leopard an opportunity to regain it's footing, the blonde ran out of the cave and leaped towards the ground where she would have more space to fight the animal. The beast leaped out of the cave landing in front of Buffy with ease. The ferocious animal charged slashing the blonde's arm with it's sharp claws as she tried to dodge the attack. The girl clutched her arm in pain. The big feline turned on her once more as she reached for the knife that was strapped to her thigh. The leopard ran towards Buffy to strike one more time, but when it was near a booming sound was heard as thunder struck a nearby tree making it fall towards the girl. Buffy jumped into the water to escape the falling tree. She barely got away from the fallen tree, but the noise scared the leopard away.

Sighing in relief the blonde walked swam towards the edge of the water and got out while clutching her bleeding wound. "Buffy! What happened!" Faith walked next to the blonde placing Josephin back on her feet. "B, you're hurt. What happened?" The concerned brunette took a hold of Buffy's arm carefully checking the wound. "There was a leopard, but I'm fine. We have to get inside."

Later in the cave

"This is some brutal storm. I'm glad we found this place." Faith said while looking towards the cave entrance. "Yeah, I kinda feel sorry for that leopard." The blonde stated with a small pout on her lips. "The damn thing nearly took your arm off and you feel sorry for it. That's fucking incredible, B." The brunette shook her head.

"My sentiments exactly...maybe not in those words, but still." Josephin also shook her head in disbelief. She then started to get up but gasped and sat back down clutching her midsection. "What is it?" The blonde placed a concerned hand on her shoulder.

"I don't know. I was trying to get up and then..." Josephin moaned in pain. Lightning came down bathing the cave in light, for a second Josephin's pained expression could be seen. She clutched her stomach once more and then looked up with a shocked face.

"I...I...I think my water just broke."

"Uh oh." Another lightening bolt illuminated the cave and Faith's wide eyed face could be seen.

TBC...
