Henry pov
Walking the cemetery I hop up on a gravestone across from a fresh grave waiting while I checking the area around me for anything sneaking up.
I know Faith's right about the danger but she hovers and worries to much, I'm not a baby anymore I need space to be my own person.
We argued about it and at the end she just stared at me before walking to her room, but she's been letting me out without her and Cordy always there watching.
Glancing up at hearing someone I see a girl a little older then me walking over to me "you were at my house earlier" she says keeping her distance.
Shrugging I check the area before watching the grave "Faith let's you slay?" She asks.
"Yes, after I ran off to find her she took me to a grave yard and let a vamp throw me around while getting onto me for taking unnecessary risks then started teaching me how to protect myself"
"Harsh" she mutters.
Shrugging I smile shaking my head "no realistic, I was sheltered and didn't believe anything or anyone would hurt me, she taught me that there's danger and things that don't care".
"They don't let me, keep saying it's to dangerous" she mutters.
"Not wrong but, it's worse when you can't protect yourself" I say.
"Buffy says after a big bad the vamps lay low for a bit till things calm down"
"Doesn't stop them, they're just more careful" I say frowning.
Sitting and talking with the girl I smile till she looks up and sighs "great, I better get home they're going to be mad I'm out after dark".
Nodding I get up and motion ahead of us "I'll make sure you get home safe" I offer.
She smiles blushing as I lead her out, we don't really talk but I keep catching her watching me.
Reaching the house I stop at the drive way to watch as she heads to the door before walking in.
Turning I jump back seeing the Tara chick in front of me "Dawn home?" She asks after a moment.
Nodding I slip my hands in my pocket and walk past her to head back to the house we're in for now.
Reaching the house I walk in and find Faith pacing, she looks at me and her shoulders relax seeing me before she walks away, sighing I go to the room she said to use.
Faith pov
Seeing Henry come home safe I relax and head to my room finding Cordy looking over the papers "Faith what are you going to do with all this stuff?" She asks.
Shrugging I sit down "don't know" I answer.
I hear her hum while putting them away before she lays down by me looking at the ceiling "this is the calm before the power struggle" she says softly.
"That's why I let Henry go alone, right now it's all scrambling around before they regroup and a new person tries to take over"
"I thought Buffy was an only child"
"She is, I remember a Slayer dream we had, I mentioned getting ready for little sister she's someone sent that Buffy has to keep safe"
"Oh" Cordy says twirling a strip of her hair, a cute little habit she has when she's thinking about something and trying to focus.
"How's your hand?" She finally asks.
Huffing I look at my hand seeing the scar on it "fine just a scar now" I say.
"I can't believe that octopus bit you" she says chuckling.
Laughing I shrug "I think it got tired of me poking it" I mutter.
"Vanessa found it funny"
