Faith looked up from where she was sitting. The three guards had tensed up when the crash and the screams took place. They had this urge to take off, but fear kept them on the ground. Faith moved towards the bars and looked at all three of them. "You gotta let me lose", Faith said. The guards looked at her in astonishment. "You cannot fight what is coming", Faith said. "I can. Now let me out".
The officers looked at each other as another ear piercing scream reached their zone. All of the sudden, the door in front of them opened. The dreaded vampire entered the room calmly with his game face on and blood on his hands. "Honey", he called. "I am home".
"You want my blood?", Faith asked. "Come and get it".
The officers looked at the rouge slayer in fright. Faith smiled and mouthed the word "keys". One of them wasted no time and rapidly threw it at her just as the other two pulled out their guns and fired. Nemo was hit in the chest several times before he fell to the ground. Faith opened the door of her cell and looked at the three beat cops. "He is going to kill you", she said. "Run".
All of the sudden Nemo was back up. He made a grab for one of the officers and prepared himself to break his neck. Instincts took over the young slayer and grabbed hold of Nemo's arm. He than threw him against the wall.
"RUN!", she yelled at the two officers. She did not realize why she cared. But it did not matter right than. The officers took of like a shot just as Nemo was getting up.
"I don't get it", Nemo said. "You are evil. Just like me".
"No", Faith answered trying not to let those memories pass. "Not anymore".
"You cannot deny your true nature", Nemo said with a smile. "You were born evil, you will die evil. That simple. You just have to live with that fact".
"Not true", Faith said with water in her eyes.
"Trust me kid", Nemo said as he restored his face. "Together we can make sweet blood".
Faith considered her options. Doubt invaded her every being. Nothing was right. Nothing was wrong. It all seemed so easy if she grabbed hold of the vampire's hand. All of the sudden, a familiar voice brought her back to reality. "Faith!", Angel yelled. "No!".
Nemo looked at the intruder. His game face was back on. He ran towards the staggering vampire and smashed his face with a flying kick. Angel fell to the floor hard. Before he could get up, Nemo grabbed the already dislocated arm and pulled. Angel screamed in pain.
"Angel!", Faith yelled as the rage invaded her. She grabbed Nemo by the scruff of the neck and threw him towards the far wall.
The vampire stood up and brushed his clothes of. "Ok", Nemo said. "I guess I have to get it on with a slayer now".
Faith calmly circled him. She had no idea what she was doing. She had been out of combat for some time. The small cell hadn't helped much in space. She was going to go on pure instinct on this one. Nemo smiled as he fired a right punch towards the slayers face. She rapidly blocked it as she saw an incoming kick which she dodged as she moved to the side. She than ducked the backhand slap Nemo had thrown. The vampire tried to connect a one two combination, but the young girl blocked both the right and left fists. Nemo retreated for a moment. "You are good", he said. "As far as slayers go. Let's see you deal with a change in style".
Faith had no idea what he had just said. She had been lucky in blocking those punches. The vampire than launched a ground attack trying to sweep the brunette of her feet. Faith jumped up and retreated just as he fired two consecutive round hog kicks to her face. She dodged them both. The young girl was getting fed up with this. She charged him and fired a right hook that rattled his jaw, followed by a left jab. The demon staggered a bit while Faith got on one knee and foot sweeped the beast. Nemo fell with a thud. I can't believe this girl is beating me he thought to himself as he let the girl pick him up. Faith had him in her power. She performed a round hog kick followed by right hook finishing the combination with a backhand punch. Nemo staggered and fell to the ground.
Faith immediately went to Angel. "Need a stake", she said.
Angel smiled and pulled one out from his coat pocket. Faith was about to get up when Angel grabbed hold of her arm. "You did good Faith", the vampire said. "Do not let him touch you or you lose the battle".
Faith wondered about the comment for a moment as she stood up and ran up to Nemo who was slowly recovering. The rouge slayer grabbed him from his jacket as she was about to ram the stake to the heart.
All of the sudden, Nemo was alert again and grabbed the stake just before it made a hole in his shirt. He smiled evilly as she broke the wooden stick in two. He than hurled the slayer toward the near wall. Faith hit the concrete hard with her shoulder. A snap was audible in the entire place. "Dammit", she murmured to herself.
Nemo did not waste time though. He pulled the slayer towards him and smashed his fist in her lower back area. Faith had never felt so much pain caused by a punch in her life. Not even Buffy had the strength to reproduce the effect. She bit her lip in order not to make a single sound. "Not saying anything heh?", Nemo asked as he turned her around. He grabbed her by the collar of her shirt and smashed her face with his right fist. Blood oozed by the side of her lips. She was somewhat dazed by the impacts. They felt like mule kicks. Nemo smiled. "Time to collect my prize", the evil vampire said. He looked at the vein popping out from her neck. He bit down to collect the prized blood. Faith gasped softly as she felt the demon's fangs pierce down her skin. She started to feel weak. The room started to spin as her vision darkened.
Nemo felt a rush through his body. The blood was doing it's toll. Nothing like good old slayer's blood he wondered as he kept on drinking. Suddenly he felt a great pain on the side of his head. He abruptly let go of the slayer in his hands as he staggered away. He looked up and saw Angel trying to keep himself up. "You will pay for that", the good vampire said. Faith laid unconscious at his feet.
Nemo looked surprised. "I was going to spare you", Nemo started. "You sentimental fuck. Now I am going to kill you".
Angel tensed his body just as Nemo rushed him. The blood he had drank had made him stronger. Angel felt like his head was going to explode as Nemo delivered a powerful hook. Angel fell on his bad shoulder. The pain was infuriating. Nemo laughed as he grabbed the broken stake. "You will die", he said.
"Don't think so", a young female voice said.
Nemo looked up and his smirk changed into a serious emotionless expression. At the entrance of the jail, stood the slayer vampire in all her splendor. The brunette was in black leather pants with a navy blue top. He black jacket completed the outfit. Behind her, Wesley stood with a triumphant look. Nemo than smiled again as he dropped the stake. "I got what I came for anyway", he said.
Mary smiled back just as turned into her game face. "Well", she started. "Your leaving now". The girl jumped from her original position to about three feet in front of Nemo. Before he could do anything, Mary landed a powerful uppercut. As he was lifted from his feet, the cursed slayer grabbed his feet and smashed him to the floor. Nemo struggled to get back up. He pulled a stake from his own jacket pocket and faster than light, he made an attempt for Mary's chest. Mary was surprised at his speed. She partially dodged the deadly wooden artifact. The strength in Nemo caused for it to incrust itself into Mary's right chest area. The girl screamed in pain just as she extended her hand. A red ray appeared and hit Nemo on the chest. The vampire flew from where he stood, directly through the concrete wall and into the street outside.
Mary crumpled to the floor and pulled out the stake from her body with great effort. She than just laid there. Wesley was checking on Faith, who was regaining consciousness. Angel was recovering and extended his good arm to help his old friend up. "Glad you made it", he said.
"I am glad to", she said as she helped Angel by letting him lean on her.
Faith looked at both of them while Wesley helped her to her feet. "Thanks", she said.
Mary and Angel only smiled. Still, they all knew it did not end there.
