one

It was dark as usual and Faith was alone as usual. Buffy and everyone else were back at the house doing the same old routine.

The potentials train, Willow, dawn, xander, anya and giles research the latest demon in town, Andrew whines and gets on everyone's nerve.

While Buffy and Spike go out and kill the latest researched demon. And Faith? Well, she sat around the house being bored.

Not tonight though, tonight she was patrolling, tonight she gets to do something. "Feels good to get out of that house," she said to herself.

She liked patrolling so much better when she was alone. She could be free and let lose without having to worry about hurting anyone.

The freezing winds caused the dark-haired slayer to shiver and cling to her black leather jacket.

"Damn its cold!" It didn't make any sense, why was it so cold? It was sunnydale, Califronia for gods sake, not to mention it was pretty close to summer.

So why the freaky weather? There was a loud boom. The Slayer cocked her head in the direction of the sound in curiosity, a look of delight spread across her face as she ran towards the sound. "Finally something to sink my stake into," she said pulling a stake from her back pocket.

There was another boom which caused the Slayer to run even faster. The sounds lead her to an abandoned warehouse. She entered just as another boomed ranged out over the town.

She looked around and saw what was causing the commotion. In the center of the room there were two girls. One was huddled behind another girl who's arms were spread out like an eagles, a forcefield was generating from her palms protecting her and the other girl from several demons who were making it their mission to get to the them.

The demons were an icy blue color. They were tall and bony with long, white, whispy hair trailing down their backs. They had not a stitch of clothing to cover up their rather weird looking genitals.

Faith was disgusted. The demons were kicking and clawing at the forcefield which was causing that booming sound.

Must be pretty strong, Faith thought. One of the demons spotted her and opened its mouth and let out a long, loud shriek. The other demons tore their attention away from the girls to Faith.

They slowly made their way towards the Slayer. Faith looked down at her stake, It wasn't going to make a decent weapon against these guys. She threw it aside and slid into a defensive stance, "I guess i'll improvise with my fist and feet," she said.

"Run!" Faith shouted to the two girls who's forcefield was not up. They seemed hesitant at first but quickly left through a back door. Faith looked back at the approaching creatures. There blue-black eyes were glaring as if to say "who the hell are you?" The creature in the front tried to swipe a clawed hand at Faith while the other two tried to attack her from the sides.

She grabbed the arm and twisted it until she heard a snap. The blue demon wailed in pain as Faith threw him into one of the demons on the side. She snapped a side-kick at the demon next to her.

"Man this feels good!" Faith hollered as she slammed her boot down on one of the demons head. It made a nice crunch. Faith watched as blue goo spilled from the cracks in the demons head.

"One down," she said turning back towards the two others on the ground. "Two to go." The other two demons got up and watched the slayer. They probably won't be rushing her anytime soon.

Instead they began to glow. They glowed bright blue until it was hard to see. Faith squinted at the demons and her eyes widened. A huge sickle of ice was forming before the demons. Faith suddenly realized that the temperture in the room had just dropped about twenty degrees.

The cold was becoming unbearable. There was a sound like a fire-estinguisher going off as the demons flung the icy projectile at the slayer. Faith jumped out of the way just in time before the shard of ice turned her into a Faith-kabob. It crashed itself into the wall behind her.

Okay this had to end quick. She looked around in search of a weapon. She spotted a shovel several feet from the demons. She took a step back then performed an amazing leap, closing the distance between her and her newfound weapon.

She landed then grabbed up the garden impliment and turned to face her foes. They were much clser since the jump. Before she could jam the blade through the demons neck, as planned, she took several blows to the chest that knocked her to the floor. Pained flowed through her as she struggled to get up. They were much stronger than expected.

The demons were splitting up again, circuling her, looking for an open spot. Faith slowly swung the shovel side to side. As soon as the first demon tried an attack she swung the bladed weapon up, slicing off the creatures arm. It fell to the floor with a soft thump as the demons began to scream.

Faith quickly shut it up by shoving the shovel through its neck. Blue goo gushed from the wound in its neck as it fell over dead. Some of that goo got on her boots. She turned and prepared for the attack of the third and last demon but it was not there. It was gone. "Huh?" Faith mumbled.

She came to the conclusion that it ran away scared. Now that the threat was over it was time to go have a chat with those two girls. If they were still around. If they had any sense they wouldn't be, She thought to herself. She located the door they left out of and opened it. It lead to a dark alley.

She scanned the alley for the girls but didn't find them. Convinced the actually had sense she turned and walked away. She stopped herself from going any further when she heard a noise. She walked up to the wall. She really couldn't believe it but was the wall...breathing?

She jumped back when a section of the wall morphed into the two girls. They were dirty and battered. And one of them was severly scratched up. Faith squinted at them as one of them began to speak. "Hey im Rory and this is my friend Sarah," she said. "Is she going to be ok?" Faith asked. Sarah looked up at Faith, "Yea i'll be alright."

"So what exactly are you guys doing out here?" Faith asked. "We were looking for someone when we ran into those things." She stood on her tip toes to see over Faith's shoulder, "Are they still in there?" she asked. "No. they're dead," the slayer responded.

"They're dead?" she asked confused, "but how?" Oops. Faith thought. She couldn't exactly tell the girl that she just killed three make that two demons all by herself. And she couldn't tell her she was a Slayer. Right that whole secret identity thing.

"Uh...well.." she stammered. "The thing is when you guys left the police arrived and shot them all up," Faith finished. How lame, she thought. The girl's looked skeptical, "I didn't hear any gunfire." Rory said. "Lets not talk about those things, lets get to the real questions. How were you doing that forcefield thingy?" she asked.

Before Rory could answer Sarah began to shriek, staring past Faith. Faith whirled around to see the last demon that had escaped her. She felt a sharp, burning sensation in the pit of her gut. She looked down and saw the creature's clawed hand sinking slowly into her stomach.

Blackness began to cloud her vision. Before she completely blacked out she saw two hands wrap around the demon's head and snap it to the left. The demon fell to the ground, behind it was a petite blonde staring at Faith. "Faith!" she screamed in alarm as the brunette slayer fell over dead.

"Faith!" Buffy screamed again as she watched her once enemy fall to the ground dead. The blonde ran over to Faith and turned her over. Blood stained her red top making it look even redder. Buffy stared horrified as way too much blood began to flow down the sides of her stomach.

Buffy frantically searched the other slayer for a pulse. Her heart skipped several beats when she didn't find one. She can't be dead, Buffy thought to herself. I'm about to lead a bunch of girls into the fight of their lives and i can't do it on my own. A hand passed over Buffy's causing the slayer to flinch. She looked up to see a girl staring back at her.

The girl said nothing as a green orb of light began to pulse from her hand. Buffy just watched as the green light completely covered Faith. An instant later the light was gone, and nothing had changed. "What the he-" Buffy stopped to stare at Faith. Her chest was slightly moving up and down. Was she alive?

Buffy gave the girl a questionable look. The girl nodded and responded, "Get her to a hospital immediately." Faith began to stir distracting the Slayer once more. As soon as Buffy turned her head, Rory grabbed Sarah's hand, closed her eyes and they were gone.

Buffy watched as Faith's eyes flew open. "B?" she asked in a horse voice. "Shhh," Buffy said picking up the wounded Slayer careful not to hurt her. Buffy turned to tell the two girls to follow her but they were gone.

She decided getting Faith to the hospital was more important so she turned and started to leave, reminding herself to come back. She stopped when she heard slight footsteps. She dismissed it and proceeded with taking Faith to a emergency center.
