C.7b The final battle
But it was too late, the brunette was out of her mind, she hold the weapon with force and raised it in the air, with all her forces she lowered it until it hit against...
The chain that held Xander´s foot. The boy watched it overwhelmed, for a moment he thought he was going to die.
"Now run"-she said.
The dark haired boy quickly obeyed and left running, he didn't know what to do and finally decided to look for Buffy so she could take care of Faith.
And he did well, because the moment he left an army of bringers attracted by The First's fury entered to fight against the dark slayer.
It took Xander some minutes to see Buffy, and when he finally did, the blonde was on the ground, with a wound in her side. The boy worried and stunned at the same time knelt in front of her.
"Buffy, Buffy, Are you ok?"-Xander asked feeling still scared.
"Yes, it's just a scratch"-Buffy answered to reassure her friend that she was ok.
"You have to stand up, is...Faith"-Xander said not sure about how to explain the brunette's behavior
"Faith? What happens with Faith?"-Buffy asked, now really concerned about her girlfriend health.
"I'm not too sure, but she has problems or so I think"-Xander explained.
"Shit"-she exclaimed.
The blonde forgot her own pain and stood up ready to go looking for her girlfriend.
She arrived at the room where Faith was surrounded by Bringers, the brunette was defending herself as best as she could, but she wasn't on the best state of mind and that was debilitating her physically. She had a cut on her forehead that dripped blood onto her eyes and made it difficult to see clearly. She was also bruised in different parts of her body, her arm hurt where a bringer had cut her while she was trying to protect her chest from the sword.
Buffy immediately started to fight with her axe. With Faith and much effort they were able to kill all the bringers, the hardest part was still to come.
Once the fight ended the brunette collapsed to the ground, The First still around her refusing to lose the battle. The blonde slayer approached her girl and knelt right in front of Faith, who had begun to cry again, this time in silence. When Buffy had knelt the medallion that was in her pocket fell to the ground between the two slayers, but any of them noticed it.
"Faith, baby, Are you o.k.?"-she asked trying to make Faith look at her.
But the dark slayer didn't answer.
"Faith, please, you're scaring me, tell me something. What's wrong with you?"-Buffy said, her fear for the other slayer growing inside her.
"Look at her, you think you can trust her? She only wants to see you suffer like you made her suffer"-The First was still torturing Faith with his words, but Buffy couldn't see it.
"No, stop, stop, stop"-Faith begged.
The brunette seemed disturbed and Buffy had already seen that kind of behavior before in Spike, so she guessed that the thing that was tormenting her girlfriend was actually The First. Buffy took Faith's face between both of her hands to prevent the brunette from looking away.
"Look at me, don't listen to him, whatever he is telling you it's not truth"-Buffy tried to explain.
"Stop, Stop, Stop"-Faith begged once again feeling tired and wanting everything to end.
"You have to be strong Faith, come on, trust me"-Buffy was begging too.
But it seemed like the brunette wasn't even listening to her, her eyes were unfocused and she wasn't able to lock eyes with the blonde. Buffy realized she was losing Faith and with her the love and the opportunity of being happy. She was desperate and didn't know that to do, she also began to cry.
"Faith please, please, stay with me. Don't listen to him, you hear me? Don't listen to him, he is not telling you the truth. Trusts me, I would never lie to you, you must believe in me, you know it..I..I..I love you"-she said in a desperate cry.
It was said so quietly that if Faith hadn't been a slayer she wouldn't have heard it, the blonde had said it almost without thinking, but the dark slayer had heard it clearly. For the first time her eyes focused on Buffy and everything else around them just disappeared, the wounds, The First, everything, just Buffy and Faith.
Faith raised her hand and caressed Buffy's cheek still wet whit some of her tears. She leaned forwards and kissed the blonde passionately and tenderly at the same time. And Buffy felt like she had never been as close to anyone as she was of Faith at that moment, and she had the certainty that she would never be like that with anyone else.
"I believe you. Because I feel the same...I...I love you too, B"-Faith confessed.
Buffy smiled at her girlfriend and extended her hand to help her stand up. The brunette accepted the hand and the blood she had on it touched the one that was on Buffy's and the drops fell on medallion. A blinding light emanated form the jewel as two slayer stared in surprise.
"What's happening?"-Buffy asked feeling confused.
"The symbol that was in the school was activated with blood of a victim sacrificed out of evilness, Right?"-Faith thinking.
"Yes, so?"-Buffy asked even more confused.
"So maybe the medallion works just the same way, but in this case with our blood, could it be?"-Faith asked in an attempt to make things a little more clear.
"Ok, running now, thinking later"-Buffy said seeing that the place was falling down around them.
The place began to collapse, the blinding light was eliminating all the bringers and the potentials were running frightened towards the exit.
The two slayers run holding hands until they arrived at the door, they stepped out of the school and jumped into the bus that Wood was driving.
A few minutes later the bus stopped and the Scoobies, Buffy and Faith stepped out of it.
Buffy walk until the beginning of the crater that was then Sunnydale, observing what had been her house for seven years. Slowly all her friends approached her, Faith was the first to arrive and she stood next to the blonde but slightly behind.
"Well, it seems like we won"-Willow said proudly and tiredly at the same time.
"Yes, although I don't know how we did it. Maybe..."-he started to explain.
"Giles, come on not now. It's time to celebrate and to sleep, not to think about explanations"-Dawn said interrupting him in a very irritated voice.
"And what are we going to do now?"-Xander asked.
"There's another Hellmouth in Cleveland..."-Again Giles suggested.
"Oh my God! We just closed this one and you're already thinking about another one? Don't you ever get tired?"-and again it was Dawn who interrupted him.
"I didn't mean it like that, just..."-Giles said and all the Scoobies laugh.
The discussion that her friends were having seemed distant to Buffy, she couldn't describe what she was feeling, but what she knew was that Faith was there with her.
"Buffy, what are you going to do now that you no longer are the only slayer? What do you want to do?"-Willow asked more seriously.
The blonde didn't have any doubt about what she wanted to do, so she abruptly turned towards Faith and taking her by the waist kissed her with passion, the brunette answered with equal intensity, while their friends watched them with wide opened mouth of surprise. Except Willow, who had a small smile drawn to her face. Minutes later the slayers separated, but continued holding hands.
"This is the only thing I want to do, nothing else, at least for the moment"-Buffy said.
"Finally, it was time already!-the redhead exclaimed.
"¡Willow¡"-Buffy said surprised at her best friend outburst.
The redhead and Faith started laughing and the others followed giving their approval to the slayers new relationship.
G: It will be better if we get in the bus already, and then we will see what we do, we have time.
They walked towards the bus, Faith remained a little left behind seeing Buffy speak with Willow about how they had come together. Xander approached her.
"Faith, I..."-Xander started to say.
"I know X-man. No problem, we all make mistakes, Right?"-the brunette said.
"I guess...but thanks anyway"-the boy said.
"Five by five"-Faith said glad that the boy wasn't mad at her anymore.
Both entered the bus, and while Xander went to sit with Andrew to ask him about Anya´s death, Faith seated next to Buffy.
"Everything ok?"-Buffy asked.
"Yes, he just wanted to fix things"-Faith answered.
"And..."-the blonde said expecting further information.
"And...everything is ok"-the slayer concluded.
"I am glad"-Buffy said.
Without anymore words the two slayers melted into a kiss, not as enthusiastic as the previous one, but with equal love.
"I love you"-the blonde said, feeling as if those words were the easiest to say, feeling completely at ease with her companion.
"Love you too blonde, love you too"-Faith responded feeling just like the other slayer.
And this is how they started their new lives, happier than ever knowing that whatever came next they would survive it together, because they were the chosen two.
