Henry pov two days later
Waking up I look around seeing I'm in the car as Faith sits up front in the driver's seat "what's going on?" I ask yawning.
She hums while lifting Mom's bank card "I had to pick up a few things from the house and police station".
Getting across the town line I look around frowning "why are we leaving?" I demand.
"We're not" she snaps while speeding down the road.
"What are you doing then?" I ask crossing my arms.
"Just wait" she orders.
Eventually we come to a Catholic Church and she gets out motioning me to follow, climbing out I follow her in and up to a nun who look at her smiling.
"Faith, how have you been?"
"Fine Sister, but I need some help" Faith says.
"What do you need child?"
"My little brother keeps running off and I need a few things just to protect him from them" she says vaguely.
The nun nods "come, we would be happy to help you".
Following Faith and the nun I'm taken to a room with bottles that have crosses on them, Faith grabs six before handing over some money making the nuns eyes widen.
"Faith?" She asks.
"Put it to good use Sister I got it while working" she says before grabbing a cross necklace.
Being led out and back to the car Faith shivers before handing me a bottle with the necklace "what's going on?" I ask.
"Since you're so confident about traveling and risking your life, I'm going to show you the real world tonight, now put the necklace on and be ready"
A few hours later
Walking around the cemetery I huff, this is the second one and nothing's happened, hearing movement I look at a new grave seeing the dirt shifting before a hand comes out.
Looking at it wide eyed I see a head finally come out as the guy claws the ground to get out, once he does he looks at me before his faces changes to have ridges over it.
Before I can move he tackles me and Faith appears yanking him off me tossing him away "you see this is what you were walking into by running away like you did" she says before shoving him.
The guy turns snarling at her while trying to kick her, Faith leans back grabbing his leg and flipping him over her "you're not fighting me, you're fighting him" she says forcing him to look at me.
Shaking I hold the stake she gave me looking at him wide eyed, he looks between us confused "what's the game Slayer?" He demands.
"No game, he runs away and thinks no one and nothing will hurt him so he needs to face facts" she says sitting down on a head stone lighting a cigarette.
"When I kill him?" He asks watching her nervously while getting up.
"Then you have a 10 second head start to get away from me before I stake you, it's your lucky night you could brag about escaping the Slayer after killing someone in front of her, if you get away"
After a moment he charges me and I try to run getting caught, hitting the ground I groan feeling him leaning towards my neck before he screams jumping back holding his face.
Seeing the tiny cross on it I get up but trip as he grabs my necklace ripping it off tossing it away, I catch a glimpse of Faith picking it up and watching us as he throws himself over me.
His eyes widen before he turns to dust "and you just slayed your first vampire" she says yanking me up.
"How?" I mutter confused.
"Self preservation instincts, you instinctively had the stake pointed up and dusted him" she says dusting me off.
"You was going to let me die" I hiss yanking away from her.
"No, but you needed to learn your lesson and this was the best way" she says.
Glaring at her she grabs my shirt forcing me to follow her "look kid, you took after mom in the Nature vs Nurture debate just like me, we're stubborn and have to learn shit the hard way".
Grumbling I follow her once she lets go "Henry, you have to understand everyone is someone's villain, some embrace this while others cling to the idea they are heros, no one is purely good or bad".
Crossing my arms I stay silent refusing to speak "here's an example, Slayer 1 accidentally kills a person mistaken for a vampire after Slayer 2 shoves him to her then after killing the person they feel bad, but the group she joined turns on her for an accident ignoring the fact that this human was with the vampires and didn't have any bite marks on his neck".
Going to speak she holds her hand up stopping me "Slayer 1 poisons a vampire to kill him but Slayer 2 gets mad and tries to kill her to save said vampire, now tell me who's the bad guy".
"Slayer 2 would be the bad guy" I answer after thinking about her examples.
"Slayer 2 in the first example is me while in the second example Buffy is Slayer 2"
I frown looking at her "why did you flip it?"
"Because in both cases we are each other's villain, no matter what you're always the bad guy to someone for something"
Reaching the car I climb in buckling up "and be ready because you're gonna be sore as fuck in a bit" she adds before taking off back for home.
