Chapter 11

MANSION

(Buffy's P.O.V)

I just stand there in shock listening to Oz pacing up and down behind me. The chains look as if they've been ripped out of the wall, which can only mean one thing. She must have fully changed into her wolf form and now she's roaming around Sunnydale doing God only knows what. Oh God! What if Kennedy finds her! I franticly punch Giles' number into my cell before grabbing the tranq gun and running out the door. C'mon Giles, pick up, pick up, pick up!

"Hello" Giles answered tiredly.

"Giles we've got an emergency, Faith's gone."

"Good lord! How long has she been missing?"

"I don't know two, maybe three hours. I just left her while I went on patrol with Kennedy and when I came back she was gone." I pant in reply dodging a trash can.

"I'll drive around and see if I can find her. Where are you?" he asks.

"Me? I'm heading towards the apartment where Wesley and Kennedy are staying, figured he must have blown that God damned whistle and Faith went running."

I can hear him fumbling about on the other end of the phone. "I'll meet you there in an hour, phone me if you find anything." he replied.

"Okay" I hang up and shove the cell in my pocket. I take off, sprinting faster, half hoping that Faith isn't at Wesleys. God please let her be okay!

WESLEY'S APARTMENT

(Nobody's P.O.V)

Kennedy was slumped on the sofa channel surfing. Her night had sucked big time, having to spend time with Buffy and the super geeks wasn't her idea of fun. She'd tried one last patrol but even the vamps had made themselves scarce. This town sucked and considering it was built on a hell mouth she thought there'd be a little more action.

"Hey Wes!" she called over to him "You wanna go and look for this Wolf thing now?"

He came out of the bedroom carrying the Shilarquin and a crossbow. "You read my mind." he said handing the crossbow to Kennedy. "I suggest we check any wooded areas first, as their first instinct is to head towards cover."

"Why don't we just blow the whistle thing outside the apartment that way it comes to us." she asked standing up and putting her coat on "Saves us the trouble."

"We cannot do that people could be injured, or they may call the authorities if they see a large 6ft beast parading the streets. We're better off somewhere more discreet." he answered.

"Fair enough, you're the boss." she shrugged following him out the door.

Buffy chose that moment to come haring round the corner, she managed to slam on the brakes and dive behind a parked car before either of them could see her. From what she could see Wesley was carrying his stupid whistle, and Kennedy a crossbow. There was no sign of Faith which meant that he couldn't have used it at the moment, but it looked like he was going to. Dammit! Knowing that they could be her only hope of finding Faith she decided to follow them from a safe distance, that way she could intervene if they tried anything. Her cell phone rang, vibrating inside her pocket causing her to jump, fumbling around she answered it "Hello" she whispered.

"Buffy I've spotted what I think is Faith down at the dockyard, she appears to be trying to get into one of the warehouses." Giles replied.

"Wesley and Kennedy have just left their apartment and they've got that whistle with them looks like their planning on finding Faith."

"If Wesley is playing by the council's rules he'll be headed towards a wooded area." he explained. Hearing this Buffy got to her feet and began running towards the docks.

"The only place I can think of is round the back of Restfield cemetery, it'll take them about ten minutes to get there, I should be able to get to you first with the tranq gun, hang tight Giles." Buffy crammed her cell in her pocket and ran full pelt towards the Dockyard and Faith, what she didn't notice was Kennedy following behind her.

DOCKYARD

Giles sat patiently in his car waiting on his slayer and keeping an eye on Faith who was pacing up and down looking for a way inside the warehouse, there was obviously something in there that she wanted and this made him curious. He watched as her pacing stopped and she raised her head sniffing the air. It was at that moment that Buffy appeared skidding to a halt several yards in front of her. Faith appeared to recognise her even in her current state and loped up to her.

Buffy stepped back cautiously and raised the tranq gun, thinking that she was going to attack. Faith noticing this stopped and sat in front of her. Buffy relaxed and slowly extended her hand towards Faith who nuzzled it gently, causing Buffy to smile, even without her humanity, the wolf in Faith recognised her and this gave Buffy hope that she would be okay. "Hey baby, you had me worried" Buffy said crouching next to her, gently stroking Faith's head, she was surprised at how soft her fur was. Her smile widened as she felt Faith lean into her touch. Looking towards Giles she saw that he had lowered the back seats of his car so that Faith could fit inside. Buffy knew they didn't have much time before Kennedy and Wesley blew that damn whistle, satisfied that Faith seemed to be okay apart from her general wolfiness, Buffy gently injected her with the dart that she had concealed in her hand. She gently lowered Faith to the ground as it took effect and gestured at Giles to come and give her a hand. "We should probably take her back to the mansion Buffy, and then I feel we should come back and check out that warehouse, something drew her here and I for one would like to know what." Giles said kneeling next to her.

"I think your right Giles, I'm just glad we found her before the gruesome twosome got their hands on her." Between the two of them they managed to get Faith into the back of the car. Neither of them saw Kennedy watching from the shadows.

MANSION

(Buffy's P.O.V)

I can't believe we found her, I'm just glad she's okay. She's still out cold so if Wesley decides to do his pied piper act she won't be able to hear him. I'm sitting next to her on the mattress watching her sleep, Oz has settled down in the corner, he seems more relaxed in her presence, Willow explained that its cause Faith is the Alpha wolf, something about respect or something.

Giles took the time to examine Faith while she was sedated. He said he'd never seen a Garou in wolf form up close before. I had to admit she did look pretty impressive, her fur was black and when the light hit it, it had what looked like dark blue highlights. Her head was the same as a wolves but her snout was a bit wider. Her front paws where more human like than a normal wolves, and had sharp claws. Giles explained that Garou had special pads on their paws that could enable them to climb up walls, which is always a bonus. She was the complete opposite of Oz whose facial features where more human in appearance, Giles said that this was because Oz was a half breed, where as Faith was born a Garou.

I look up as Giles comes back from his car. "Ready to go Buffy?"

Sighing I get to my feet, "Yup lets motivate." Giving one last look at Faith and Oz we walk out to the car and head back to the dockyard.

WESLEY'S APARTMENT

"Your absolutely sure about what you saw?" Wesley asked for the hundredth time.

Sighing Kennedy replied "Yeah, I told you, I saw Buffy and Giles capturing the Garou and then all three drove off into the sunset. If you ask me Buffy's relationship with that thing ain't normal, she was acting way too concerned if you ask me." she shuddered, watching Wesley pace up and down in front of her.

"Interesting, all this time they knew and never told us, I'm sure the council would love to be informed." he mused.

"Well what do you suggest we do?" she asked.

He stopped pacing and stood in front of her. "Our plan doesn't change, we still need its blood. We will no longer need to use the Shilarquin now that we know where the Garou is, however we shall have to watch out for Buffy and her friends." he said with disgust.

"Well that's easy, I can go over when they're all at school, it'll be as easy as taking candy from a baby." she grinned.

DOCKYARD.

Buffy and Giles where back at the warehouse where they had found Faith. As they got closer to the warehouse Buffy could feel her slayer senses going through the roof. "Giles this place is giving, me the wiggins." she whispered to him.

"This may be what Faith sensed" he replied. They both crept round the side of the building. Looking up Buffy noticed a window near the top of the roof, seeing some crates underneath it she gestured to Giles. Seeing what she meant he nodded and climbed onto the crates, Buffy then hoisted herself onto his shoulders so that she could see in the window.

She stared open mouthed at the sight before her. "Giles, I think we've found those Vamps we were looking for." she said quietly.

"How many?" he asked fearfully.

Eyes wide she looked down at him "Too many."
