Chapter 11-thanks for all the reviews, sorry I haven't updated I haven't really been on much but sorry. MA class takes up a lot of my time. But I'm getting right on it.

(Buffys' POV)

She looks so pale, it's similar to the way you find someone when they first break through that first layer of the grass from the cemetery chalky white and starving with blood lust. Always in our dreams she was just so . . . but that was dreams and the way she saw herself not how she really was. I was so afraid we wouldn't find her in time. But here she is unconscious laying in my lap in the back of Giles Car. Her cheeks are slightly flushed from fighting off that demon. As I keep checking her pulse and respiration every few seconds as if she's about to die on me. But after all these dreams and my feelings I just can't lose her now. My biggest worry is that now that she is awake, will there be anything between us? What will they mean to her? I know that in the dreams we finally had a break through and maybe that's what we both needed. But I have so many questions like a dam bursting through concrete. Am I supposed to just brush this off?

I don't think I can. I'm broken out of my trance with willow looking back at me with a little bit of her well-known green eyes and curious. I know to her I must be acting extremely weird. Just let her be ok, I say in a silent prayer. All I can do is nod at her with her next words. " Buffy were almost there." What would have happened had she died? Absent-minded Buffy is brushing her fingers soothingly across Faiths brows.

(Faiths POV)

I feel a breeze going over my body almost as if to cool me down, it feels like I'm in a warm soft blanket tucked into bed after being worn out your head hits the pillow and you fall asleep almost instantly. Not a part of you is not spread with this warmness, . . . safety.

I feel a warm hand brushing across my forehead and down to my chin, this feeling of wholeness, well being . . . Buffy . . . Love Yes I love buffy . . . And all of the sudden it feels as if I've been struck by lightening I'm sitting bolt up. And breathing a little deeper I'm inhaling Buffys' scent. When I look around, I'm in Giles Junker of a car and I'm pretty much all over Buffy. My face is nestled between the point where her neck meets her shoulder And I can see Red through it. I don't even realize I'm hugging B. Reds starring wide eyed and Buffy's saying something she rubbing my back and telling me to breathe that its ok. I feel confused none of the things happened not here that is. I feel dizzy and shaken and the smell of her is intoxicating. And all I can do is rest my body against hers. I feel like I'm going in and out but I'm trying to just hold onto her, she's my anchor and always has been. I hear this soft music in the background something I definitely wouldn't ever listen too. But it's soothing just like my B. B and I are just melded together and I wish it could be that way forever but right now I'm just too tired to know what will happen. I know will talk.

(Buffys' POV)

Faith woke up god it was like someone bit her. Scared the crap out of me. Here she is laying in my lap and the next second bam she looked so startled and shocked she grabbed onto me like a child having a nightmare reaching for their parents for assurance and comfort. She was breathing a little too deeply so I just hugged her and stroked her back it almost brought tears to my eyes she was awake and she was fine weak but fine. All I can think about right now is the smell of her, the way she fits and the feelings she's causing. I shouldn't be thinking about this right now, she's sick and this is getting too comfortable. We are about five minutes away from Giles House. And the guys are making small talk in the front.

As we are sitting here, I can feel that we are both just thinking about each other and how long it really has been since this all happened. We're lost in each other and the music just comes drifting back to us.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary.

When troubles come and my heart burdened be
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... to more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... to more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas
And I am strong, when I am on your shoulders
You raise me up... to more than I can be.
You raise me up... to more than I can be.

And we realize once the engine has stopped, and we're both entangled in each other that everyone is out of the car and waiting for us. We've got her home and soon we'll talk. But thats after I put her to bed in Giles room that we had made for her.As I'm lifting her up out of the car with her clinging on like a baby put in a basket around your shoulders, a heavy object falls out of her jacket which willow tells me she'll get as I put her to bed.

To be continued. Please review.
