Episode 2- Trembles by AnyaRocks

Willow is seeing Tara, Rack, Amy and herself being juiced by magics. Her body begins

to shake and tremble as she awakes screaming No.

(cut to the streets, night time.)

Faith and Xander are walking home from patrol in mid conversation.

Xander: "Yeah I miss Anya. I miss Buffy, Giles, heck even Spike, well ok maybe not

Spike." He squints his eyes.

Faith: "Xander run!" She pulls out a crossbow. An uber vamp is on him in a flash

as Faith gives it a kick to the side of the face

forcing it to let go. They fight with her barely killing it and Xander is helping

her into the house.

(cut to the summers home.)

Faith limps down the stairs the next morning to find Willow sitting on the couch

and Dawn eating breakfast.

Willow: "Hey Faith, anything last night?" She glances at her obvious sore leg.

Faith: "Nothin that won't heal. Kennedy coming?"

Willow: "No, I'm meeting her at the university. She should be caught up by second

semester and can enroll."

Dawn: "I'm leaving, I just can't handle being in this room. This is Buffy's house

not some poor excuse for a slayer's." She stands to leave but Faith catches her arm.

Faith: "Look here D, I'm all the slayer you got so you need to chill the attitude."

Dawn shakes her head and leaves as does Willow.

(Cut to magic box.)

Xander and Faith are working, he's stocking shelves and she's doing the books.

Faith: "All better today?"

Xander: "No, want to trade jobs?"

Faith: "Sure," Robin walks in.

Robin: "Hi, no time for pleasantries. Dawn was kicked out of school for fighting

today and Willow seems a bit off to me. Also, four bodies were found drained of blood

in the basement." He sits next to Xander while speaking as Andrew came through the

shop whistling.)

Andrew: "So this means, someone is bleeding humans then letting those vamp's finish

them off?"

Faith: "Good observation," she puts her jacket on. "Andrew, stay and help Xander

finish this, call and let Willow know and Robin can come with me."

(cut to summers home)

Kennedy gets up off the couch where she and Willow were snuggling.

Kennedy: "I'll talk to Dawn."

Willow: "Thanks," she exits the house as Kennedy goes into Dawn's room.

Kennedy: "Dawn, I know we don't know each other all that well, that you miss Buffy

and don't care for Faith but you've got to deal."

Dawn: "No I don't, Buffy could have stayed with me. Mom left and now Buffy. Now I'm

stuck with a slayer that all she wants to do is kill things and sleep with guys."

Kennedy: "I agree with you on the Faith deal but, Buffy had to do it, she had to

go away, it's part of her finding herself. Besides, you've got Willow, Xander and

I'm here too."

(cut to streets of Sunnydale)

Robin and Faith are in battle with three uber vamp's. Faith has one down but another

is on her back pounding away and Robin is near immobilized.

Andrew: "Faith help, one has Willow!" She fights to get away from the two vamp's

as Andrew swings a wire around the other which has Robin's neck and jerks decapitating

him.

(cut to Tara's grave site.)

Willow is sitting next to Tara's grave shaking badly, her knees clenched to her chest

as Andrew secretly stands watching her.

Willow: "Goddess Tara, I wish you were here to help me. Kennedy just doesn't understand

what I'm going through and neither do I really. Why did these withdrawals start back

up?" An Uber vamp grabs her from behind and she struggles as Andrew runs off. She

is finally knocked into a head stone, Tara's to be exact and he is leaning in to bite.
