Chapter 2

'Can't Focus'

It was very dark outside and Faith knew there would be trouble. It was Sunnydale. The biggest Hellmouth Faith had ever encountered. So she brought a stake. She looked around the cemetery and finally found Buffy's grave. Faith sat down in front of it and starred. Her headstone said,

Buffy Anne Summers

1981-2001

Beloved Sister

Devoted Friend

She saved the world

A lot

This made Faith smile, but her smile faded fast when she heard something behind her. She hopped to her feet fast and spun around, only to be punched on her face and fall back to the ground. As she fell her stake flew across the field. She looked up and saw a vampire. She had blonde hair that fell to her shoulders. Faith stood up and kicked the vampire in the stomach she leaned over a bit and Faith back handed her in the face. The vampire grabbed and dug her claws deep into Faith's neck. Faith yelled in pain and fell to the ground. The vampire leaped on top of her and repeatedly punched Faith in the face. Faith brought her knees up to her chest and kicked the vampire off of her hard a few feet across the cemetery. She stood up and realized that she had kicked the vampire right to were the stake was. So the vampire came running straight to now holding the stake. The vampire came close and tried to stab Faith but she was too quick and blocked the stake. The vampire's arm went down when Faith blocked it, but it came right back up to Faith and slashed her through the stomach. Faith grabbed the stake quickly from the vampire, but the vampire knocked Faith back to the ground. The vampire once again had the stake and she was just about to stab Faith with it when something pulled the vampire away and to the ground. Everything in Faith's eyes was spinning, but she could see that the vampire was wrestling with Spike. His hair and his own vampire face gave it away to Faith. Her world stopped spinning and she sat up. She held her hand against the wound on her stomach. Willow, Xander, and Anya came out of nowhere to Faith. Faith saw that beyond them, Spike was dusting the vampire. Anya and Xander helped Faith stand up. They all looked at each other and Faith. They saw in Faith pain from the loss of Buffy, and Faith saw in each one of them, the same loss.
