AN: Thank you for your reviews and BTVS doesn't belong to me. So, I just want to say that I try to keep the characters in character and was informed that Riley might have been out of character in the last chapter. I'm sorry for this even if I don't like the guy, I shouldn't have put it into the story.

After everyone got over the emotional outburst, Buffy rounded on Faith with a scowl. Faith didn't think this going to be good and was rethinking her whole revenge plan. Buffy was looking at the other slayer thinking over what they should do with her. On one side, she could use this as an advantage on Adam. They already had Lilith and Faith could help finish tipping the scale.

"I'm going to offer you a deal. You can either help us defeat the new big bad or I can hand you over to the Council. They have ways of making sure that you can't even have your slayer powers." Buffy said seriously.

"Like hell. You forget, B, I'm wanted by the cops. So even if I did take your offer, I would get thrown in jail the moment I stepped out the door. Well, they would try to anyway." Faith chuckled at the blonde.

"Well then, Giles call them and tell them where she is. Let's see how tough you are when they start sticking you with their homemade slayer kryptonite." Buffy said not taking her face away from Faith's.

"Nice to see that you finally see my way of thinking. Letting your enemies suffer. Now you are finally wearing big sister clothes." Faith gloated to pry on the conscience of the blonde slayer.

"Damn it, Faith. I was hoping that we could settle things when you woke up. I didn't want to fight you anymore. Why do you got to make things so difficult? What's wrong with just trying to let go of that anger?" Buffy snapped at the Boston native.

"You put me in a coma to save your boyfriend that apparently, you aren't even dating anymore. You took eight months of my life and didn't even feel bad about it." Faith ground out trying to unleash her anger on everyone in the room.

"You were out of control. I tried after Finch to get you to talk and be there for you. You just turned your back on us and joined up with a demon that was going to eat the entire town." Buffy yelled into her face.

"Cause he actually cared about me. Never once did he pretend to like me or use me as a way to get out of doing anything. He was like the father I never had." Faith argued.

"I did care about you, Faith. Every time I tried to get you to open up you closed me out." Buffy trying to reason with the rouge.

"Bull shit! I was a just a convenient excuse to go out with your friends or go see Angel behind everyone's back." Faith shot back.

"Who's Angel?" Riley interrupted the argument causing Faith to smirk.

"He's B's vampire ex-boyfriend." Faith revealed happily.

Riley had taken the news badly and Buffy had taken the new argument outside to, hopefully, talk about it rationally. They returned and Buffy had turned to give Faith her attention. Part of her was hoping that Faith would join her again and another said that she would never change. Faith was sitting there waiting for whatever the blonde chose. She knew that there was no way Buffy would ever really forgive her or trust her.

"So, Faith, have you thought about what you want?" Buffy asked with a sigh.

"Well, I was thinking of some ribs and a nice way to shake off the double Hs." Faith joked.

"I'm though with this." Buffy said tired with the day's events.

She walked upstairs in a daze. Buffy walked into her room forgetting that Lilith was putt in. The blonde walked over to her bed and lay down before she realized something in the room was off. Jumping up, she looked over her room and noticed that her window was open and Lilith was nowhere to be seen. Rushing back down, she proceeded to tell them about the little girl's disappearance.

Lilith had woken up not long after her breakdown and felt that the best way to get rid of the emotions was to get away from these people. She eventually had tracked down her real commander again and had fitted her blades to their proper place. There were five vampires with Adam when she arrived. They had laughed at the appearance of the brunette child. This had angered the child soldier and she decided that they deserved a demonstration of her skills. Walking to the front vampire and before he had any time to react, she had cut off his legs at the kneecaps and then impaled him through the chest. She knew it wouldn't kill him but it kept him in place and she could feel herself losing control of that anger. As the others attacked, she decapitated the impaled vampire. Lilith jumped up and kicked the closest vampire in the head dazing him. One of the others got in a kick to her stomach making her bend and the next hit her in the knees throwing her off balance. As one had gone to deliver a final kick to the head, her left blade pieced his foot and the other severed it completely. Next she dodged another punch heading for her face, and jump spin taking both of the two standing vampires' heads off. She just stared at the last on with an enraged face and the last thing he ever saw in his undead life was the animalistic face of Lilith.

AN: please read and review to tell me what you think.
