Sylvia slipped in the door then locked it and then headed for the staircase. She knew that she had company; she could feel their eyes from a mile away. She ran up the staircase and kept going until there was no more stairs to tread on.
Spike and Faye ran up to the apartment, Spike tried to turn the door handle but it was locked.
"Watch out," Spike said as he backed up a bit and tried to ram the door, but didn't succeed.
"Pft, watch out," Faye said as she pulled out her gun and aimed it for the door handle. Shooting it off the door opened noisily.
Spike snickered and pulled out his weapon as well, slowly he walked in with Faye behind him. Spike went to the stairs and looked up and saw some movement, a black trench coat. Spike darted up the stairs.
"Hey what are you doing?" Faye asked as she began to follow.
"She's running up the stairs," Spike said as he continued to run, he felt his stitches stretch but he ignored it and kept running.
Faye was right behind him; she noticed that with every step Spike took his face would go contorted or as if he was uncomfortable.
"Are you stitches bothering you?" Faye asked between breaths.
"No" was the only reply.
Sylvia looked down the staircase to see 2 figures running up the stairs toward her. She tapped her sword lightly and then started running once again, 'To the roof.' She thought to herself.
Spike's mind was running wild. 'What the hell am I going to do when we get to her? I can barely run without these damn stitches causing so much pain.' He thought to himself.
They were finally catching up to her, "Is she going to the roof?" Faye asked Spike curiously.
"I believe so," Spike said as he tried pacing himself with every step. This was taking quite a toll on him at the moment.
Spike stopped and leaned on the railing, trying to catch his breath. Faye stopped as well and was about to ask if he was all right but before she could Spike said, "Keep going. I'll catch up with you in a minute."
Faye hesitated for a moment.
"Go!" Spike yelled.
Faye backed away slowly and then turned around and began running once more up the steps again. Spike watched as Faye ran up the stairs, and then he slowly brought himself down to his knees.
He ran his hand over his stitches and noticed that it was bleeding badly. He looked up again to see Faye finally reaching the last flight of stairs before reaching the roof, he slowly began to get up again but fell back down to his knees.
"Good luck cowgirl..." Spike whispered as he felt himself get dizzy.
Faye stopped at the last flight of stairs and stared up at the door. Finally she began to go up the stairs, each step was anticipated and when she reached the door she stood there, she then put her hand to the doorknob and slowly turned it.
She then flung the door open and stood to the side incase anyone shot at the door. She peeked around the corner and looked to see if there was anyone around, slowly she came from out of the building and stood on the roof.
"Where the hell is she?" Faye asked herself as her eyes darted all over the place.
"Well I'm right here," Sylvia said as she shut the door.
Faye looked at the girl she didn't look that old. Maybe 18-19 years old at the oldest, "So what the hell do you want with us?" Faye asked as she continued to stare at the girl.
"Oh my dear, sweet revenge." Sylvia said as she tapped her sword again.
"Revenge for what?" Faye asked curiously.
"For destroying what could've been the best thing for the Syndicate," Sylvia said as she began to walk toward Faye.
"Oh so you are one of the freaks who are still hanging onto that aren't you?" Faye said sarcastically.
"I will always hang onto it. You see, your friend Spike killed thee most genius man in the world." Sylvia said with a wicked smile.
Faye's mind was racing; Spike has killed so many people from the Syndicate that she didn't know which one she was exactly talking about. And then it clicked, of course, "Vicious..." Faye said with venom dripping from the word.
"Ah ha, yes. You know of him don't you?" Sylvia said as she neared Faye who still hadn't backed away.
"How could you not? And what sort of relation did you have with Vicious anyways? Were you just one of his minions who did most of his work? A lover maybe?" Faye said as she eyed Sylvia.
Sylvia laughed, "I'm none of those. I am but his very own flesh and blood." Sylvia said with a snicker.
Faye's eyes went wide but she quickly covered it, "You're his sister?" Faye asked in shock.
"In the flesh," Sylvia said in a whisper because she was now directly in front of Faye.
"Well then this shouldn't be hard," Faye said as she raised her gun quickly and fired a few shots and then ran to further herself away from Sylvia.
Sylvia whipped out her sword and easily reflected the shots that had been fired at her.
"So who exactly are you after? Sending a package for me?" Faye asked curiously as they both walked in circles, staring each other down.
"I'm after anyone who gets in my way of finally ridding the world of that menace." Sylvia said as she raised her sword above her head and ran after Faye.
'Spike...' Faye thought to herself, 'like hell she was going to let this crazy bitch rid her of the one thing in her life that was beginning to actually make sense. She lost him once, but she was not going to lose him twice.'
Faye fired a few more shots and then dodged the sword that was swinging at her. She ducked as it glided across the top of her head and then jump back away from her.
Sylvia dodged the bullets, letting a few fly by her and then reflected the rest. She then ran towards Faye once more, raising her sword to attack Faye.
Faye pulled her gun out and fired 2 more shots toward her before rolling away. One bullet grazed Sylvia's cheek while the other one barely missed her arm.
Now Sylvia was now angered even more possibly, and Faye was now out of bullets, "Damnit..." Faye whispered.
"Out of bullets my dear?" Sylvia said as she wiped the dripping blood from her wound with the sleeve of her jacket.
Faye only snickered and stood there waiting for Sylvia to attack, "Doesn't mean that I'm not finished with you." Faye said smiling.
Sylvia half smiled, "You're a brave women, you will have a honorable death I suppose." Sylvia said as she charged at Faye with her sword.
Faye awaited for Sylvia but then a gunshot went off. Faye looked toward Sylvia and watched as she began to fall. She looked over toward the door to find Spike leaning on the door with his gun aiming at her.
Spike stood there for a moment, he watched as Sylvia began to fall. Suddenly his mind replayed the scene of Julia, her falling, her hair draping behind her and her eyes full of shock and fear. Spike's eyes went wide but he shook the thought from his head.
He hadn't shot her in the heart; he could not get his hand steady. He merely shot her in the back of the leg. But then he noticed how Sylvia got back up, and still headed toward Faye whom was not paying attention.
"FAYE!" Spike yelled as he watched Sylvia some how managed to still run toward Faye.
Faye watched as Sylvia ran toward her, but then noticed how she put her sword back in its sheath and then stood on the ledge of the building.
"We will meet again," Sylvia said as she smiled wickedly and then jumped off the side.
Faye turned around and watched as she disappeared, "Yes we will." Faye whispered.
