CHAPTER 20

BUFFY’S CONVERSATIONS WITH GHOSTLY FAITH

Angelus wasn't happy. In fact, he was furious... That crazy bitch killed Darla, took Buffy from him and not long after they'd disappeared, that insanely strong earthquake hit Maghkar and a part of his mansion just crumbled. To make things worse, the morning light burnt Darla before he managed to even get to her.

He was hiding in the tunnels underneath the mansion, cursing all the gods and devils, but above all, those two fuckin' Slayers who suddenly disrupted everything he knew and cared about. He swore he'd find them and make them pay for everything.

Angel ran into a hospital, he was holding Faith in his arms because she was technically dead and he figured she was out of time, the doctors needed to check her out first...

Joyce stayed in the car with Buffy, who looked like she'd been through hell and back, but at least she was still breathing... “God, baby, what happened to you? Wake up, please…”-Joyce whispered, petting Buffy’s hair gently, careful not to touch the rest of the body, because it seemed like there was no part of it without bruises and cuts.

She thought it was a bit strange that Buffy had a bandanna around her neck and she gently pulled it off. “Oh no, sweetie, what did they do to you?”-Joyce burst into tears again when she saw all the bites on Buffy’s neck.

“Please, I need your help! Faith… she’s not breathing! I’ve tried the CPR, but couldn’t bring her back, please help her and I’m going to get Buffy, she’s in the car!”-Angel almost yelled at the doctors, he wasn’t used to feeling so helpless.

The doctors reacted quickly and took Faith in one of the empty rooms and Angel ran out of the hospital to get Buffy.

He caught her in his arms as gently as he could and growled quietly when he saw her neck. “Is Faith gonna be ok?”-Joyce asked as she ran behind Angel, trying to catch up with him, but the vampire ran like a hurricane. Joyce didn’t think he even heard her.

Doctors were all shocked when they saw the state of the two girls, but they didn’t ask too many questions, there was no time. Angel just told them that he had no idea what had happened to them, that he just found them in the ruins of a mansion, which was true…

Joyce couldn’t stop crying, her brown eyes were bloodshot now and all of her body was shaking… Angel looked shaken up, but he did his best to remain calm and reasonable, so he just went to the public phone and called the Magic Box to let everyone know Buffy and Faith were back and they were in a hospital.

Giles took off his glasses and started wiping tears away; he couldn’t stop them when he heard that Buffy was alive. “Giles, what’s wrong?!”-everyone asked and jumped when they saw him cry.

“Angel just called. Buffy and Faith are in a hospital. It seems that Faith doesn’t have a pulse, and Buffy’s badly hurt, but alive.”-Giles said, his voice breaking.

Willow and Tara, Xander and Anya jumped into each other’s arms and hugged tightly, happy to hear that Buffy was back. As much as they didn’t like Faith, they weren’t happy when they heard the news about her either, after all, she was a Slayer and human, and they had no idea what kind of hell she’d gone through there.

Only Giles owned a car so they all squeezed inside and he drove away as fast as he could.

By the time they will have gotten to the hospital, they were all crying because they were just so relieved that their best friend was alive. “I knew Buffy would be ok, she’s a tough cookie…”-Willow said and wiped her tears away.

They all ran into a hospital like a horde of horses and nurses all gave them disapproving looks, but no one gave a damn. Angel was alone, sitting on a bench in the corridor and he got up when he saw them all.

“Joyce’s just gone to Buffy’s room. We’ll have to go see her one by one.”-Angel said and rubbed his eyes, he looked exhausted.

“You haven’t even slept since you got here. Not even during the day.”-Willow said, her heart breaking for him. “I’m ok, don’t worry about me.”-Angel said and just stared at Buffy’s room door, he couldn’t wait to be able to go see her.

He knew he would have to leave again soon, but he decided to stay at least for a few days, to make sure she’s really ok.

When Joyce exited Buffy’s room crying, everyone’s hearts stopped for a moment. Ok, Angel’s wasn’t beating, but he felt ache in his chest he had never felt before.

“Joyce? Is Buffy ok? Can I go see her?”-Angel asked, and got so relieved when Joyce nodded and said: “She’s still unconscious, but stable… Faith… she’s… in a coma. They don’t know if she’ll ever wake up. She was dead when she got here, and her brain had been without oxygen for several minutes. But, they said brain can be without oxygen for five to ten minutes so she might still have a chance. Poor girl.”

Even though Faith had held her hostage in her own house, Joyce couldn’t hate her. She felt sorry for her cause she had no parents or anyone to look after her. She was just so grateful that her daughter was alive and stable and couldn’t wait to have her back again.

“Poor girl? It’s her fault they travelled to that hell, in the first place! Buffy could have gotten killed!”-Xander wasn’t in a very forgiving mood; he was just too worried about Buffy to care about Faith at all. She was just trouble and in his book not much better than monsters they fought on a daily basis. He thought she might be even worse cause she was human and had a soul…

Willow shared his feelings, while Tara and Anya were a bit more open minded and forgiving. They thought it was never too late to change. Anya was a living proof of that…

Angel wasn’t in the mood to argue about Faith and the level of her badness, so he just slipped away to Buffy’s room. He swallowed hard when he saw her lying there, so pale and full of cuts, bruises, bites and scars.

“Buffy… wake up, please. I hate seeing you like this. I love you… and I know we can’t be together, but I can’t stop loving you and I need you to wake up and be strong and happy again. You’re the most amazing woman that ever existed, both as a Slayer and a person. I don’t know what I’d do if you… left.”-he whispered and kissed her lips gently.

She looked so peaceful and he slowly left the room, he knew that everyone wanted to see her and say a few words, and he just wondered if she could hear him when he spoke to her.

Buffy could hear him, and Joyce as well, but she didn’t know if she was dreaming or imagining it. She didn’t wanna hope too much, Faith was unconscious in her arms and Buffy thought Angel’s voice was probably just Angelus’ trick to hurt her again.

She didn’t wanna leave Faith lying there alone, she wasn’t even sure if Faith was still alive. For a few minutes she was sure she’d died, but she still couldn’t let go of her. The weirdest thing happened there, and Buffy had to blink a few times. Faith was still unconscious in her arms, but her… spirit? Essence? –well, something, that looked like translucent Faith hovered above her.

“Hey B.”-this ghostly Faith said to her, and her voice sounded like an echo that came from really far away.

“Faith? What’s happening? Are you dead??”-Buffy’s voice broke when she had the last word and her eyes filled with tears.

“I think I was dead for a bit, but I don’t know what I am now. Don’t feel ok in that body, so had to leave it for a bit to tell you to wake up. Everybody is so worried about you.”

“Wh-what about you? Will you be there when I wake up? You have to wake up too, you know!”-Buffy talked to ghostly Faith, while absent mindedly running her fingers through Faith’s brown locks.

“I might wake up if I know you’re ok. But, you have to do it first. And you have to be strong, ok? Promise me you’re not gonna break cause this place… cause I hurt you so much. I wouldn’t forgive it to myself.”

“Faith… Faith, wait!”-Buffy yelled when ghostly Faith started fading away.

Tears ran down her face, her whole body shook with silent sobs as she held Faith’s body tightly on her chest.

“She’s crying! Looks like she might wake up soon!”-Giles got his head through Buffy’s room door and then ran back to her bed, to be there if she opens her eyes.

Giles petted her blonde hair and whispered: “I don’t know what you’ve been through, but I swear I’ll be here for you to help you in any way I can…”

A tear ran down his face when she started opening her eyes slowly.

“Buffy…”-he whispered and kissed her forehead.

“Giles?”-Buffy whispered, she sounded so weak and broken, his heart shattered…

Doctors ran to her room to examine her and he had to leave. “You’re gonna be ok, Buffy. You’re home now…”-he whispered and exited the room.

She turned around and saw Faith lying on her right side, attached to all those wires and monitors and she just couldn’t believe it.

“Faith…”-she whispered and tried to get up, but a nurse gently pushed her back down and said:

“Miss Summers, you have to lie still, you might faint if you get up too quickly. You’ve lost a lot of blood and you’re very hurt. We’re doing everything in our power for your friend.”

“Help her, please…”-Buffy said, her voice husky, it felt like it didn’t belong to her.

She started crying again and everyone was surprised to see her so worried about Faith. “They must have made up in that other dimension.”-Willow said, her heart broke for Buffy; she just looked so tiny and scared.

“Her vital signs are normal now, just her blood pressure is a bit high.”-Doctor Baker said to Joyce, who ran straight to Buffy there and hugged her tightly.

“Mom!”-Buffy hugged her back tightly, and burst into tears, she was just so happy to see her mom, she didn’t think she ever needed her like at that moment.

“Buffy… my baby…”-Joyce whispered and kissed Buffy’s cheeks about twenty times, Buffy just had to give her a little smile.

“I’m back… and Faith’s gonna come back too… Right?”

“Of course she is… I’m so happy you’re back!”-Joyce smiled and wiped Buffy’s tears away.

“What happened to you, sweetie, who did this to you?”

“I… I don’t remember everything. Just got a bad feeling about that place.”-Buffy lied; she didn’t want her mother to ever find out about those horrible tortures she’d endured.

“Maybe it’s better you don’t remember… Honey, Angel is here too. He’s the one that brought you back.”

“Angel?”-Buffy repeated, her eyes filling with tears again.

“Yes… he was so desperate while you were gone. I’ll never be able to thank him enough for bringing you back.”

Buffy’s heart raced, she was dying to see him, but also dreading it because of everything his evil twin had put her through. She knew it wasn’t his fault, but she couldn’t help feeling all messed up because of it.

“I’m just too tired to see anyone right now, I just wanna sleep…”-Buffy whispered, her eyes closing. She hoped Faith would visit her again in her dreams and maybe help her clear all the confusion she felt at that moment.

“Of course, sweetie… You need to rest. It’s almost midnight now, so we’re gonna go, but I’ll be here before you even wake up.”

Buffy smiled and nodded weakly and closed her eyes. Joyce kissed her forehead gently and left.

Faith was there as soon as Buffy closed her eyes… “What’s up, B? Miss me already?”

“Yeah, it’s much better to see you here than lying in that bed, all immobile and covered in tubes and stuff.”

“Yeah, I bet, but you can’t just sleep now to hang with me. I’m five by five, nothing hurts. It just hurts that I hurt you and now I might not be able to show you how sorry I am.”

“Faith… Don’t say that, please.”-Buffy said and tried to touch her, but her fingers just went through her.

“I gotta go, B. I can’t keep hanging here with you, I’m just hurting you this way, again. I’m sorry about everything… and I love you.”

Faith just vanished and Buffy dropped to her knees… “FAITH! COME BACK!”-she screamed, but Faith wasn’t coming back.

Buffy woke up again, in tears and breathing fast and looked at Faith’s body that seemed to be giving up.

“You need to wake up, Faith. You can’t leave me now that I need you so bad.”-Buffy whispered and slowly got out of bed, fighting dizziness and her buckling knees. She slowly walked to Faith’s bed, caught her hand and kissed her lips gently.

“Come on, Snow White, spit out that apple and come back to me.”

Faith wasn’t just snow white, but also snow cold and Buffy got really worried. She climbed on the bed and lay down next to Faith, trying to warm her up with her own body.

“I’m gonna save you, you’re not gonna die on me.”-Buffy kissed her cheek and closed her eyes again, drifting over to sleep…
