Summary: Third in a series of stories started with " Summer of faith" and continued in "Seasons of faith". In the last book, Buffy died fighting Glorificus, the Hell goddess. This book picks up where that book ended. How does Faith deal with the loss of Buffy? How does life change for the scoobies? Buffy will be with them always, but is there more to it than just memories? Stay tuned.
Spoilers: Possible season 6 and season 7 spoilers. Hope you've watched them by now.
Timeline: Season 6, maybe season 7 and beyond( don't know yet).
WARNING: There is always the possibility of major character death. Romance between members of the same gender(duh). Sexual situations between members of the same gender. This is an Alternate Universe (AU) story. The real(by the series 'coda' ) relationship between Buffy and Faith never happened here. So if you're looking for the dark, knife wielding, don’t give a crap about nothing but me Faith, She's not here.(ok, bit of an exaggeration, as we all know by now that Faith redeemed herself, but the "dark, evil" Faith never got a chance to live here). Violence happens. Adult themes( someday, I plan on being one, too). Sexual situations. All the usual stuff.
Faith slips quietly into the house on Revello Drive.
She knew she's late… very late. She'll probably have hell to pay at work tomorrow. Screw it, maybe she'll just call Xander in the morning and tell him she's sick. Whatever. What happened tonight is just too weio pro process yet. She's been walking around, wandering more like it, trying to figure it out… make it make sense. She knows it happened… she has the proof in her pocket. Buffy's necklace, that Faith buried with her. But it's just too… out there for Faith. She's not one to believe highly in mysticism, or that stuff. Sure, she fights demons and vamps. But they’re right there, evidence of her eyes. This magic voodoo hoodoo stuff is just hokum. Which makes what happened tonight all that more puzzling… and scary… and real.
She touches her lips where Buffy kissed her, and all the emotions of the night come welling back up inside her. She wipes impatiently at her eyes. She hates crying, and has cried too much in the last 4 months. But despite herself, the drops fall on her cheeks, and she looks up… ' hope you're happy getting me all weepy again, B' she mutters. She heads for the stairs. She's exhausted. This night has been too crazy for her, and she needs to sleep. She stops at the second stair, and pauses. She realizes that for the first time in…god, since Buffy died, she doesn't need to drink to sleep. She feels tired, ready to sleep.
' Thanks, B' She whispers softly, heading upstairs.
She enters her room, quietly closing the door. She begins to undress, ready to hit the covers and sleep. Maybe tonight it'll be dreamless. God, she hopes so, it's been so full of dreams lately… dreams that keep her awake, scaring her badly. She pulls the necklace out of her pocket, and looks at it. A little smile brightens her face… she remembers how she didn't really give it to be on her 18th birthday… it'd been after that, because true to form for B's birthday, they wound up fighting a vicious vampire called Kralik… part of a test given by the Watcher's council on a slayer's 18th birthday. No, she'd given it to her afterwards… a few days after… when they'd had yet another( and last) fight over Angel. Well. sorta, anyway. For awhile, things got better. Of course there were other fights, about stuff that realeemeeemed stupid right now. All of the fights seem stupid now. If she only had another chance, she'd do her best never to fight with B again. She'd be smart this time, appreciate the time they had. She sighs… but that's not gonna happen. She places the chain on the dresser, and continues to undress.
She almost has a heart attack when she hears a small noise behind her. Whirling, half dressed, she's ready to fight. She sees a shape on the bed, and her heart starts to tattoo in her chest. She quietly walks over, and sees someone, fully dressed, sleeping in her bed. She looks carefully, and sees the long chestnut colored hair. She smiles. ' P-nut. What's she doing here? God, she musta been waiting for me, and fell asleep. Poor kid!' Faith reaches out to shake her, and stops. She looks so comfortable, she hasn't the heart to wake her up. She knows that Dawn's been going through some bad times herself. Faith decides to leave her. She removes her shoes and socks, and covers her with the blanket. She watches as Dawn snuggles deeper into the bed. " She's going to do something wonderful" Faith remembers Buffy saying. I wonder what? Knowing her, knowing what a royal pain-in-the-buawn awn can be, Faith's trust in this prophecy is stretched to its limits. It was only because B had told her that she even believed it. Yet, as she looks dot tht the sleeping Dawn, she can't help but get all those mothery feeli
