Lydia has been researching for four hours trying to find anything on the things that Allison described or said when she was unconscious. She has visited many websites even one that talked about some vampire with a soul named Angel. She thought that was the most ironic thing she's ever heard and kept looking.
The sun was still pretty high in the sky so, Lydia knew that she hasn't been researching for too long; but she feels the warmth of Allison close by in a quiet sleep. Lydia couldn't blame her. Supernatural happenings tend to wear the body out.
Lydia decided to go with searching Faith's name even though she knew that it could be a long shot given that Faith has been missing for years, so she must have stayed under the radar from social networking and any news circuits. Lydia gasped as she found that there were a few results, Faith's last name wasn't Argent anymore, "Lehane" was tacked on the end of it. "All these years and no one thought to check if Faith changed her last name?" She rolled her eyes and whispered to herself trying not to wake Allison. Giving the sleeping girl a glance to make sure she wasn't disturbed from her slumber. She continued with her task.
Clicking on the second link, Lydia hoped that this would bring the search to a location on where Faith was. She read over an article about how Faith Lehane saved a family from a gang on PCP a few years ago in a town called Sunnydale. "Hmm, she must have figured that no one would have thought to look for her in a small town in California. Well, at least I found something for Allison." Lydia whispered to herself. Going back into her search bar, she thought that it would be best to find out the towns exact location seeing Faith might know what's happening to Allison.
The internet wasn't much help on figuring out what a "slayer" was, it just went to some website called the Council of Libraries which was located in London and the site was offline due to maintenance. It didn't bother Lydia since it probably wouldn't be helpful seeing as it was for libraries and not the saviors of mankind from the undead.
Lydia read up on some information about Sunnydale, California and found that it was 6 hours away just south of L.A. and that it had a tendency to have gangs on PCP run around causing problems for residents. She connected the dots and figured that Sunnydale had to be a mystical convergence of some kind.
Happy with her search Lydia turned her laptop off, closed its lid and put it back on her desk. Getting under the covers with Allison, Lydia molded her body with Allison's so she was the big spoon. With her front pressed to Allison's back, Lydia wrapped an arm around her waist and gave a gentle kiss to Allison's shoulder before closing her eyes to take an afternoon nap.
When Allison woke up, she noticed that the sun was going down and that Lydia was lying next to her with an arm wrapped around Allison's waist, asleep. Turning into Lydia's embrace, Allison thought that she always looked so peaceful when she was sleeping.
"You know, if I didn't find it cute that you like to watch me sleep. I would feel very creeped out right now." Came from Lydia's still tired lips. Her eyes slowly fluttered open and she rubbed the sleep from her eyes.
"Did you have a nice nap?" Allison responded with a laugh. Her right now playing with a strand of Lydia's strawberry blonde hair.
"I did. Thanks for asking. I always sleep better with you near." Lydia's eyes looking into Allison's soft brown orbs.
"Well….Maybe I should sleep close to you more often." Allison spoke with confidence. Her hand moving from Lydia's hair to her pale cheek. Lydia's face moving up to the other girls level, letting their lips meet in a slow passionate kiss. Allison's tongue darts in between Lydia's lips and she tastes cool mint as their tongues duel together. They part when oxygen becomes sort of an issue.
"Wow. That-that was amazing!" Lydia finally spoke after getting her breathing under control, giving Allison a smile filled peck to the lips.
"I hope we can do more of that in the future." Allison says her eyes in a daze and a lazy grin on her lips.
"Most definitely. I have tasted those gorgeous lips and never want to be without the feel of them ever again." She says with a smile on her face. She could be blushing, but Lydia Martin does not blush.
They lose themselves in the moment staring deep into the others eyes, silently agreeing that their relationship didn't have to be spoken aloud. Lydia is now drawing hearts on Allison's back letting her know that her love was reciprocated and when the time comes she'll say those three words out loud, but for right now this was enough.
"Oh! I forgot to tell you that my research mission was a success!" Lydia said with pride.
"Really? You found Faith." Allison replied. Waiting patiently for Lydia to continue. Her stomach dropped with nerves.
"Yup! It wasn't easy, but at the same time it was too easy. Faith is in a town called Sunnydale. It's 6 hours away, just south of L.A." The redhead finished excitedly partially from helping to find Faith's sister and another part helping Allison figure out what was happening to her.
"She's in California." Allison states with an expression that looks permanently etched on to her angular features.
"yup." Lydia letting the "P" pop, replies.
"You found her." The dark haired girl looked at Lydia with a grateful smile on her lips.
"I didn't find her place of residence, but I figured that it couldn't be too hard to find her, given that she's in a small town and all. Plus, she may have changed her last name to Lehane, but that must mean that she wasn't too afraid that she would be found there." She finished holding one of Allison's hands.
"She has basically been hiding in plain sight. We have to go to Sunnydale." Allison says.
"Yes we do. When we go you might want to bring some weapons. That town has some weird mystical convergence on top of it for some reason." Lydia explains.
"Will do. So, when did you want to head out?" The dark haired girl asks.
"How does tomorrow sound? Take a little road trip. Meet up with long lost siblings and figure out why California has a pull to the supernatural." The redhead says.
"That sounds good. I'll just tell my dad we found her, but that I want to be the one to approach her. The slayer stuff I can tell him later when we get more information about that." Allison says kissing Lydia's lips.
"I will never get tired of your lips." Lydia says.
"Mm, same. So, tomorrow?" Allison asks for confirmation.
"Tomorrow. Tonight we cuddle, makeout and rest." Lydia leans up to Allison's lips for a brief kiss.
The sun was high in the sky by the time Allison and Lydia reached the "Welcome to Sunnydale" sign. They were in Lydia's car since Allison's was in the shop getting the tires rotated. They switched drivers so now Allison was driving the Audi. She had to admit that it was nice to get away with Lydia, even if it was to find her older sister and figure out what the hell was happening to her. She knows that she's a "slayer" or whatever now, but she doesn't understand what that means.
Stopping at a light on the town's main street she gives Lydia's hand a squeeze that she has been holding for a good thirty minutes. The action causes Lydia's resting form in the passenger side to stir.
"Are we there yet?" Her voice still racked with sleep.
"Yeah. We just stopped at the town's main stop light and I thought I'd wake you. How does a coffee break sound?" the red light now turning green and Allison eases on the accelerator.
"That sounds like a marvelous idea." Unlacing their fingers, so Lydia can right herself again. Taking her compact out of her purse and touching up her make-up, while looking in the passenger mirror.
Turning right after a stop sign, Allison spots a cute café to their left. Parking on the right side of the road, she turns of the engine and gathers her purse, while Lydia grabs her own. They close and lock the car doors and make their way across the street for much needed caffeine.
"This is a quaint looking town." Lydia offers as they sit down with their cappuccinos in an outdoor seating section of the café.
"I agree. I still can't believe my dad let me come here." Taking a sip of her drink, she surveys the residents on the sidewalk as well as the occupants of the coffee shop.
"Me neither, but then I figure that it would make more sense for you to come; since you probably won't scare Faith into running. I hate to say it, but your dad can be really intimidating sometimes." Lydia takes a sip of her drink as well, but toys with her phone trying to find a hotel that they can stay at until they find Faith.
"I know. He just worries and when he does that he gets very protective. It's a family trait." She says. While giving passersby a quizzical glance, she spots a woman with blonde hair, a 5'1" stature. She's wearing jeans a white blouse and brown boots, with black sunglasses shielding her eyes from the bright sun. Allison doesn't know why, but she feels an instinct to follow her. She can feel a low buzzing in her gut telling her to follow the woman. "We have to follow her. Now." She says in a rush pointing to the woman, whom is now walking past them on the sidewalk.
"Wait. Why? Allison, is that her?" Lydia says trying to catch with Allison regretting to wear heels, while her companion walks at a fast pace trying to catch up to the mysterious woman.
"No, it's not her. But I think she knows where Faith is." Allison gets out as they both tail the blonde woman down another street leading to a residential area.
The blonde woman stops and looks behind her, seeing nothing off she starts down the street again passing a street sign that reads Revello Drive. Walking up the walkway of number 1630, she unlocks her front door and heads inside.
"Well, that was short lived." Lydia offers next to Allison as they stare at the house from the sidewalk.
"Damn. I was so sure, Lyds. Something in my gut told me to follow her. I think she's like me." The taller girl explains. "I felt like this buzzing that told me to follow her." Her face now crestfallen.
"It's okay. We'll find her don't-" Lydia cuts herself off when she sees a taller woman getting off of a black Ducati, in the blonde woman's driveway.
Allison looks up in time to see the dark haired woman glance their way before heading into the house as well.
"That's her." She says. Stalking across the street before Lydia can follow her.
"Are you sure? Allison, Wait." The shorter girl says before skipping to catch up with Allison. They both make their way to the middle of the walkway when the front door is thrust open by blonde woman. She has since taken her shades off and is now standing poised in front of Allison and Lydia.
"Okay, I don't who you two are, but you've tailed me all the way to my home. You have two seconds to explain who the hell you both are and why you have been following me." Her position changing from poised to fighting in a matter of seconds.
"I'm sorry. My name is Allison and I-" Her explanation getting cut off by another voice from behind the blonde woman.
"She's my sister, B." Allison looks up to see the dark haired woman from before. She's only an inch or two shorter than Allison, but her face holds some her angular features. Her eyes are dark brown, her hair falls below her shoulders in loose curls like Allison's and she's wearing tight jeans with a black blouse and black boots on her feet.
"Faith." The younger girl says before her world turns black.
