Bad me, it's taken me a month to get this up, I blame it on my vacation and
no internet. Then again, I've been back for awhile, just been working on
other stuff so here ya go.
Lark277- Kat's house probably won't turn up for awhile. She's very close mouthed about it.
Polgara-5: just makes you wonder what can happen now that Lexi's sister and Bf are at odds. Trust me, it'll be fun.
Matt: I'm not saying who Kat will end up with, if anyone. But honestly do you think kat is nice enough for Hufflepuff.....?
Eyexcandy: My my, a threat. Well this is a bit later then I thought... but if you kill me just remember you'll never hear the end of the story.
BrokenSkye: So you think that's where Kat ended up? I dunno but I'll tell you that Snape does know what house she is in.
Now, here ya go:
- - - -
Alexa sat by the lake, watching the giant squid. When she was dead, she was surrounded by people who couldn't see nor hear her. Now she was surrounded by the same people, alive again but now she was craving the alone time.
"Firefly?"
She turned around to see Spike standing behind her.
"Hey Watcher Man." She quietly greeted him. "How'd you know it was me?"
"Old Vampire senses." He said with a smile.
He sat down beside her and she stared hard at his face, finally turning away to look at the lake again.
"You look older." She said.
"Yeah, well I'm no longer immortal, besides, you'd be surprised at how much a person dying can age you."
"Sorry." She whispered.
"Firefly, why are you apologizing? You did the right thing, you saved the world and you came back. I think everything worked out pretty good."
Alexa softly chuckled. "Not only that but I get to join the 'Die and come Back Club.' Actually it's now up to five members. Buffy's the president, you're the VP. Kat, Sirius and I are the newest members."
"Six now, if you include the Big Poof."
Alexa looked at him confused.
Buffy killed him and sent Peaches to hell, he came back."
"Okay, six members and we make quite a club. So when do we start training again?" She asked.
"Slayer facility is open now but whenever you're ready."
"Oh, how about tonight? I'm sure Kat will be up to it."
Haven't had a chance to talk to your sister yet."
"We've been keeping her kind of busy, trying to catch her up on everything. I think she's with Hermione right now."
"Shouldn't be too hard." Commented Spike. "You got up to sixth year in three weeks."
Alexa smiled. "Yeah but she hasn't been having an easy time of it. Maybe it's the wand, she's been using mine."
"Could be. Prob'ly can't use the wand with Buffy's stuff in it."
"'Sides, don't tell her this but I kicked her ass academically."
"That true?"
"Yup but she denies it."
Alexa turned back to the lake and they were silent as Spike contemplated whether or not to ask his next question.
"Just ask it." Alexa told him.
He looked at her in surprise.
"I can tell you're itching to ask something so just do it."
"Just wondering how you're doing is all."
She smiled at him. "I'm fine. Really." She said as he gave her a sceptical look.
He still didn't look convinced and Alexa let out a small sigh.
"It's not like Buffy, Spike. I wasn't in heaven; I don't know where I was. I just...existed, unable to be seen by anyone but Sirius."
"Didn't that bother you?" Spike asked quietly.
"No. Sometimes, I felt lonely but overall I was happy, content. I got to watch over you guys and Sirius was there with me to keep me company."
"But why alone? Why isolated?" Spike wondered a loud.
Alexa hesitated before answering. She knew why but she wasn't ready to talk about it yet.
"I-I don't know."
What kind of role did the PTB have for her? She wasn't totally sure and didn't know if she wanted to find out.
- - - - - - -
"Kat are you going to concentrate or not?" An exasperated Hermione asked.
Kat was staring out the window watching her sister and Spike talk.
"I'm listening." She said absentmindly.
"What did I just say?"
"Umm...." Kat tried to think back to what they were just talking about but she was drawing a blank.
"We were talking about Boggarts."
"Oh right." Kat said, remembering her sister talking about them. "Boggarts live in dark places and they take the shape of whatever you fear the most."
"Well good to see you were only momentarily distracted. What do you think a Boggart would turn into for you?" Hermione asked, curious.
"I dunno." Kat replied, giving a non-chalant shrug. "Not much I'm afraid of."
"There has to be something." Hermione pressed.
"C'mon girl, you're talking to someone who has died. There's not a lot that can scare me."
Hermione gave up and moved on to another topic.
Kat pretended she was listening but she had quickly retreated into her own thoughts, thinking about the Boggart. She knew very well what it would become. Her sister, leaving her, rejecting her. For half a year, Alexa made her own friends, lived her own life. She wasn't there to take care of her. Now that they were both back among Alexa's friend. Kat had to wonder if Alexa still had a place for her.
- - - - - - - -
Later that night, Kat was on her way to the library, scowling down at her Charm's book as she walked.
"You know, I was always told that your face will stay stuck in that position if you keep it there too long."
Kat looked up to see a woman with dark wavy hair. She could tell she was a Slayer but she had an extra vibe of badness. Kat's scowl deepened.
"Who the hell are you?"
"Ooh, we got a Tiger here. Name's Faith."
Kat's eyes narrowed as she tried to place the name. Her eyes widened slightly as she remembered.
"Oh, it's you."
Faith gave her a lazy grin. "It depends on what you heard."
Kat smirked. "Girl, you don't even want to know what I've been told about you."
"I'm sure whatever you've been told is all true."
"So you got something for me?"
Faith pulled something out of her pocket, twirling it between her fingers.
"Yeah, I got something for you Tiger. So tell me why do you need my blood and hair? Got to admit, it was a bit creepy."
"You're not the one using it."
When Faith didn't say anything, Kat continued,
"Lex has Buffy's for her core and since we're all special and you are the two Big time Slayers, they figured it would work."
"Only one way to find out then." Faith said, throwing the wand at Kat.
Kat snatched it out of the air and felt a humming sensation travel through the wand and up her arm, leaving a warm, tingly feeling throughout her body. She waved her wand and jumped back as baby blue sparks came out of the tip.
"What the hell was that?" Faith asked in awe.
"That would be the wand finding it's true owner." Alexa said walking up behind Faith. "It happens the first time the wand and owner meet. Hey Faith." She greeted the dark-haired Slayer.
"Hey kid." Faith replied. "What's with the hair?"
Last year when Alexa and faith met, it had been after Alexa's capture by Voldemort. Her hair was then short, curly and black.
"Natural hair. See you've found my sister."
"Yeah. B said to look for the long white blonde hair. Didn't know you had it too."
Alexa chuckled. "She didn't tell you we were twins?"
When she said Long and Blonde, figured it wasn't identical, but damn." Faith let out a low whistle.
"Yeah, yeah, we've been getting it from everyone." Kat told her, she turned to he sister.
"Does this mean I can actually accomplish thing some magic now?" She indicated to her wand.
"Probably." Alexa laughed. "Have you seen Draco by any chance?"
A flicker of annoyance passed over Kat's face. Alexa didn't notice but Faith did and she stored it in the back of her mind to talk about later.
"No." Kat said shortly.
"Oh." Alexa replied, ignoring her sister's tone. "We're going to train and I wanted to see if he wanted to come. You'll be there won't you Faith?"
"Sure." Replied faith. "We'll see what Tiger-girl can do."
"Well Lex can't kick my ass." Kat said with a self-satisfied smirk.
"Yeah right." Faith looked surprised. "When did you guys spar, I thought this was your first time."
"In front of people." Alexa replied. "We've done a bit a few times already."
"Why is Alexa not beating me so surprising?" Kat asked with a scowl.
"Cause your sister kicked my ass no problem." Admitted Faith.
Alexa gave a small modest smile. "No I didn't but it has nothing to do with Kat being stronger then me. It has to do with her knowing me to well and vice versa. At least that's what I figure."
"This is gotta see then." Faith said.
"Fine you two go ahead, I'm gonna see if I can find Draco."
Alexa continued on towards the library, leaving her sister staring after he with a scowl and Faith watching Kat with an amused look on her face.
"Not too fond of lover boy there?" She asked the younger girl.
Kat turned back to face her, almost forgetting she was there.
"Draco? Who says I have a problem with him?"
"Oh maybe the scowl on your face?"
"Not my fault he's a jerk to me." Kat replied with a pout.
"Yeah, right. Bet you're just wonderful to him too, huh?"
Kat didn't say anything, just glanced down the hall to where her sister had left.
Faith shook her head. "Listen Tiger, I'm not the one to be giving advice and all that shit. I leave that to B. but what you're going through, B won't understand, no one will. You feel your sister has set up a whole new life, one that doesn't involve you and you feel that you don't belong. You're there, you're helping her, you're with her and her group but you're never fully accepted."
Kat narrowed her eyes. "Seems like you understand."
Faith shrugged. "Perhaps I do, maybe I even went through something like that myself."
Faith nodded her head down the opposite direction Alexa had gone and the two started walking.
"Let me ask you, Tiger, how much you know about me and my past? What have people been telling you?"
Kat shook her head. "Nothing. Heard you were evil, never really got details, never thought to ask really."
Faith nodded but didn't say anything else.
"Well?" Kat finally prompted her. "What happened?"
AT this Faith stopped and briefly shut her eyes tight. Kat was able to see a brief glimpse of the vulnerability and guilt that seemed to haunt the older Slayer.
"Nothing good came out of it. A lot of bad shit went down. I committed a lot of crimes, hurt a lot of people. I did bad things, things I will regret for the rest of my life. All because I felt I wasn't accepted anywhere. You seem like a good kid. Don't follow the same route I did, it's not worth it."
They were outside now in front of the Slayer building.
"What about now?" Kat quietly asked. "Are you finally accepted?"
"Naw, Tiger-girl." Faith replied, a bare hint of her old cocky grin returning.
"I wasn't finally accepted, I just finally opened my eyes."
Faith walked into the building, leaving the blonde girl to mull over what she had just said.
- - - - - - - - -
Alexa opened the door and stepped in, silently followed by Draco.
"Sorry." She told everyone there. "I couldn't find him."
It was a lie and everyone who looked at their flushed faces could tell it was a lie.
"No problem." Buffy told her with a knowing smile. "We were just going to pair off and spar. Draco, why don't you go warm up with Dawn, I want to work with faith and the twins at the moment."
Draco nodded and moved off towards Dawn.
Alexa walked up to her sister. "Do anything yet?"
Kat shook her head.
"Let's see," Buffy began, eyeing the twins. "Why don't you two warm up together and we'll watch."
The twins nodded and moved to a mat, facing off against one another.
"How do you tell the two apart?" Faith asked, leaning towards Buffy.
"Usually their clothes." Buffy replied back
Faith looked back at the twins, their outfits were both black jogging pants and black tank tops. She looked back at Buffy with raised a raised eyebrow.
Buffy shrugged her shoulders. "Okay, so they're not usually identical. But I'm starting to notice little things. Kat always ties her hair up but Alexa usually leaves it down, even if it gets in her way, I think she really missed it. Today though, they're really alike so you're gonna have to cancel out their looks. Also, Kat's more loud and rambunctious and Alexa is quieter but will pretty much do whatever her sister says. It's little things you got to watch out for."
Faith nodded and turned to watch the two. Right off, she noticed there was something different about them. They were so in tune with each other, more in tune then her and Buffy ever were. They were both strong and skilful but neither one was able to get the upper hand. When one faked with a right but then went with the left, the other was already ready and was able to block the real punch, throwing her own which was then dodge by her sister.
"I know those two have been sparring with each other." Buffy told Faith. "I also know that neither have been able to land a punch on the other."
"That's incredible."
"It's unbelievable. I owled Giles and he's all excited about seeing them. He just wants to study and research them."
"Hey Slayer." A voice growled in Buffy's ear.
Her face lit up into a smile as she leaned back into Spike.
"Hey Bleach head." She teased him, referring to the fact that now, he still preferred his hair blonde and bleached it quite often.
"Just jealous of my good looks, are you?"
Buffy rolled her eyes. "That must be it."
"How's Firefly and Big Sis?" Spike asked, turning his attention to them.
"Evenly matched." Buffy replied.
They watched for a few more minutes until Buffy pulled away from Spike.
"I have an idea, follow my lead."
With that said, Buffy broke out into a run, jumping up into a kick that was aimed at the two girls.
Immediately they both ducked and jumped into a fighting stance against Buffy who had landed and turned to face them.
The twins stood there, ready for an attack but it didn't come from her, it came from behind in the form of Faith, who was pulling the same move as Buffy. Both were well aware though but only one reacted as she turned around so she was back to back with her sister and with lightening fast reflex's, grabbed Faith's foot mere inched from her chest and twisting so she fell with very unslayer like grace. But for once Faith didn't comment as she quickly jumped to her feet and faced off against the girl in front of her.
The third attack came to the left of Faith. Again, both girls were aware although neither reacted until the last possible moment when both ducked.
That's what Buffy and Faith were waiting for as they both ran up to the twins to catch them off guard. This is what the twins wanted though. They knew without looking or talking with one another, what they were gong to do.
As the Alpha Slayers ran up to attack, the twins spun with one foot out, kicking the legs out from underneath the older girls. Then they jumped up and turned in perfect synch, landing a kick to Spike's chest, who went flying back.
By this time, Buffy and Faith were both up again and the twin's were once more fighting back to back, blocking whatever the older Slayers threw at them.
Without warning, the twin fighting Faith went down, sweeping her legs out once more. She then flipped over her sister's back who had just ducked from a punch Buffy threw. Buffy was caught unaware when the girl flipped over her sister and by the time Buffy had recovered from the punch she threw, which didn't take very long at all, a roundhouse was coming straight at her and only from years of moving on instinct was she able to get out of the way in time. But that didn't stop the next attack which was another kick that caught her in the chest. Still off balance, she stumbled backwards, trying to regain her footing but another well-placed kick stopped that, sending her tumbling to the ground.
Lifting only her head, she watched as Faith was once more knocked down and the twins again turned as one to quickly take Spike out, leaving all three of them now sprawled out on the ground.
"Fucking unbelievable." Faith whispered.
"Bloody hell." Spike said.
Around them, everyone began clapping and the twins turned to each other big grins on their faces. They high-fived each other and began blowing bowing to the crowd.
Buffy groaned and laid her head back down. Training with them was going to be painful.

By this time, Buffy and Faith were both up again and the twin's were once more fighting back to back, blocking whatever the older Slayers threw at them.
Without warning, the twin fighting Faith went down, sweeping her legs out once more. She then flipped over her sister's back who had just ducked from a punch Buffy threw. Buffy was caught unaware when the girl flipped over her sister and by the time Buffy had recovered from the punch she threw, which didn't take very long at all, a roundhouse was coming straight at her and only from years of moving on instinct was she able to get out of the way in time. But that didn't stop the next attack which was another kick that caught her in the chest. Still off balance, she stumbled backwards, trying to regain her footing but another well-placed kick stopped that, sending her tumbling to the ground.
Lifting only her head, she watched as Faith was once more knocked down and the twins again turned as one to quickly take Spike out, leaving all three of them now sprawled out on the ground.
"Fucking unbelievable." Faith whispered.
"Bloody hell." Spike said.
Around them, everyone began clapping and the twins turned to each other big grins on their faces. They high-fived each other and began blowing bowing to the crowd.
Buffy groaned and laid her head back down. Training with them was going to be painful.
