AN: thank you for all your reviews and for legal purposes I don't make money off of BTVS.

Lilith's Dream

Lilith was looking around the pitch black area. There was screaming coming from somewhere just beyond her sight. The sound was filled with so much pain and suffering in it and it was chilling her to the bone. She started looking for the direction of the screaming and ran that direction. She was running as fast as she could but the darkness seemed to go on forever. Eventually she saw a light, that's when the scenery changed. Lilith saw a circular room with monitors in the center and in a circle. Sitting in a chair at the center was Adam; he was looking intently at the screens and would occasionally type something into the computer. The young brunette walked up behind him and saw the whole Initiative, which seemed to be under attack. The screaming was coming from the dying demons and soldiers.

"You have served your purpose well, Lilith." Adam said before he turned around and stabbed her through the chest.

The mini-soldier jolted awake and jumped into a defensive stance. She couldn't see any threats and relaxed a little. Lilith sat with her back against the rock that made up her little space in the cave they had hold up in. She pulled her knees up to her chest and went into deep thought. 'I don't get it. What was up with that dream? Is it a look into what could happen or am I thinking that he will betray me? I can't see the future so it must be my own doubts. Those people, whatever they did, it is still affecting me. I thought if I got away from them, these feelings would go away. Guess I will just have to watch him carefully. '

In a little command center, Adam sat looking at a computer surveillance screen of the Initiative. He couldn't help but think to his little pawn against these people. 'Lilith is a good weapon to use in the first wave of attack, though her reaction the other night was a switch. The emotion she showed when attacking, that has never happened before. Maybe Mother's words were true, she feared that Lilith would develop a psychosis. Her metal state might be to the way her growth is accelerated. She looked to be about ten when I stepped into the room now she looks about fourteen. Her adaptation to the change in mentality could affect her dedication to following my orders. I will have to watch her more carefully.'

Back at the Summers' house, Buffy was still trying to get through to Faith for a couple of days. They still hadn't released her from the chains and they didn't seem to be helping much. Joyce had taken to feeding the rouge slayer as Buffy refused to let her go. She had also beaten the Watcher Council special operations group when they tried to take her. Faith had been trying to piss Buffy off to the point where she might let her out or kill her. Buffy had spent the last couple of days at home trying to get Faith to help them.

"Please, Faith. I don't want to be your enemy anymore. Why won't you just join us?" Buffy asked pleadingly.

"I don't trust you. I knew you wouldn't give me a chance." Faith said honestly.

"I gave you every chance. I tried so hard to help you, and you spat on me. I've lost battles before but no one has made me feel like a victim." Buffy replied raising her voice.

"And you can't stand that. You're all about control. You have no idea what it's like to be on the other side! Where nothings in control, nothing makes sense! There is just pain and hate." Faith shouted at the blonde.

"Shut up!" Buffy just yelled back.

"Just tell me how to make it better." Faith whispered defeated.

"Join us, Faith. I promise I won't let that darkness consume you again. I really missed having you around." Buffy told the brunette in a small voice as well.

"Fine, I will help you. But what are we going to do about the police? They are still after me." Faith wondered.

"Tomorrow, I can have Will deal with the police reports." Buffy reassured as she reached to unlock the chains.

Buffy was weary when she undid the lock. She was hoping that Faith was being honest with her. Faith felt the restrictions if the chains give way and she stood to her full height, stretching. The next morning came and there was a front page that had both slayers wondering what was going on. The subject of the article stated that the murder of the Deputy Mayor Allen Finch and Professor Lester Wirth turned himself in and told the police he had killed them for money to buy drugs.

"That's very strange. Do you think the Council would do something like that? You know so they could kill me quietly." Faith asked deeply confused.

"I don't know. We are just going to have to watch out for them." Buffy answered deep in thought.

"Oh, Buffy, this was taped to the door when I went to get the paper." Joyce said handing over a folded piece of paper.

It looked like it had been pulled out of a trash can and the writing was sloppy and hardly legible. All it said on there was: Your Welcome.

AN: There you go. So please review to tell me what you think and if I can make this any better. Plus if you have your own suggestions about what you want to see happen tell me.
