Authors note: Sorry about the delay guys, next chapter is coming up too. Hope you like this one, let me know
The sky lit up with distant lightening but Faith didn't see it. She was fighting for her life. The demons had breached their defences and were now within reach of the caves. She didn't know where Dawn was but could only hope that the younger slayer was okay. It was almost as though Angel had pitted his whole force against them, wave after wave of demons came at them. All around were the screams of people dying, men and women she had trained, friends and there was nothing she could do about it. The entrance had to be held for as long as possible. Every minute that she delayed the demons advance a lot of innocent defenceless people would be able to make it out alive.
The brunette slayer spun around and parried a blow from behind her.
"Dawn, get the others back into the caves and help them clear out."
The two fought back to back for a minute, "I won't leave you out here alone."
"Dawn, someone needs to go with them. Plus don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Just get inside!" Dawn stares into Faiths eyes for a long moment, trying to convey her reluctance to the older woman then turned to look at the carnage.
"Retreat!" Dawn yelled, she covered them as the remaining soldiers dove into the cave entrance. And then she was gone. Leaving Faith alone.
Faith stood with her back to the mouth of the cave. Standing tall and proud regardless of her injuries and the danger she was now in. She sheathed her broadsword and reached for something at her feet.
Angel walked to the front of the crowd, his demonic snarl changing into that cocky arrogant human smirk that she hated so much. "Nowhere to run Faith."
She looked at him for a moment. His demeanour reminded her of what she had once been and never wanted to be again. Faith looked at the wires in her hand and brought them together with a grimace, the electric shock knocked her to the ground. Which is just as well, the explosion she had triggered spat fire and molten rock from the cave mouth, burying Dawn and others from the demons grasp.
Faith took the chance and fled into the artificial night.
Angel rolled on the floor putting out the flames that were starting to engulf him. He whistled and a hellhound came trotting up to him, the demon foot soldier subdued by a blood lust greater than its own. Grabbing the animal by the neck he forced its snout into the ground where Faith had been standing, where the slayers blood had stained the ground red. The hellhound snarled as it began to track the scent and Angel released it. He ordered half of his force to concentrate on digging the debris out of the cave entrance, but didn’t hold out much hope of success, Faith had obviously planned this way in advance. But here she was, trapped, her forces behind tons of rubble fleeing. She was alone and it would be as it always should have been.
One girl in all the world
Faith would be heading for her secondary base but he knew she wouldn’t lead him to it, for the time being she was at his mercy. She was running away and he held all of the cards. By sunrise the slayer would be dead – or The Regent would make sure that HE was.
Besides a part of him relished the challenge, he had always wanted who would win in a fight.
Faith could hear the baying of the hound while it was still some distance away. She changed her direction and plunged head first into an icy stream. She had planned this escape route in advance just in case knowing that Angel would try to track her, she didn’t know, couldn’t have known that he had a hell hound. The only point in her favour was that it was raining, which severely reduced the hounds’ ability to track. After some time Faith pulled herself under some overhanging bushes hoping that they hid her from view. It had been a long hard fight and she had been exhausted before fleeing from Angelus. THAT hadn’t been in the plan, she was supposed to be inside the cave before she set off the explosives and she would have been able to leg it with the others. Her last thought before she passed out was how Dawn was coping, if the innocents she had spent all this time fighting for were safe.
Only minutes had passed but Faith knew that the hound was closer. She struggled to her feet and ran on. It would take many hours to get to a place where she would be safe, she would just have to settle for loosing her pursuit. She decided to head to the other side of Sunnydale in the hope of finding some kind of shelter. But there was nothing there and she knew it. But maybe it was what she deserved for hurting Dawn. “Angel certainly picked his fucking moment!” But as Faith thought about it more and more she began to put two and two together, “It’s as though Angel had some sort of inside information.” Faith was having problems running in a straight line, she had a lot to think about, not least about what had happened with Dawn.
Something rushed out of the bushes at her side and barrelled into her. Faith wrestled with it for a minute before recognising the bundle of grey fur. “Strife…? What are you doing here buddy?” The wolf turned and nuzzled her affectionately before running back the way it came and coming back to her with a yip. “What the fuck are you…Lassie?” The wolf tugged at her sleeve trying to pull her in that direction. “Quit it! Ok I’m coming.” Faith followed the wolf into the dark forest.
Automatically Buffys hand went to the stake hidden in the back of her trousers. Seeing her move the others all mirrored it, they may have not had slayer senses but they had fought by her side in more battles than they could remember. Giles stepped slowly to Buffys side, “What can you feel?” The Watcher knew The Slayers body language, knew that she was scared. They all drew closer together waiting for the situation to erupt.
A trio of vampires burst from the bushes, rushing towards the group. Buffy headed them off with a flurry of kicks but even in that short time it became clear that these were not newly risen vampires. She took the leader and left the others to fend for themselves. The Scoobies fought as they always had and as usual experience and luck got them through. Xander felt the fangs of one of the vamps pierce his neck just as the weight on his chest disappeared, Buffy dragged the creature away from him. She was about to stake it when a voice rang out.
With a great deal of effort she stopped the stake in the middle of its downward plunge. “Why not Giles!” She growled obviously wanting to kill something.
“He may have some information for us. You will have your chance to kill him but do you not feel that it is prudent to extract…”
“I got it!” She cut in kicking the vampire, forcing his mouth open she dropped her cross into it. She was enjoying this, wanted someone to hurt for what had happened to Sunnydale, to her family. Slowly she tried to extract the information that Giles wanted. Unfortunately she was making a lot of noise and this was not a place where a human would want to attract attention to themselves.
Slowly various demons approached the area. Buffy was not concentrating or her slayer senses would have told her that she was being surrounded. One of the demons had once had dealings with The Slayer and knew what he had to do.

Angelus was chasing his prey frantically. Time was running out, he had promised The Regent her head and by the looks of things he was about to fail. “Angelus!” Came a voice from deep in the undergrowth, “Oh mighty leader I have at last found you.” Angel reached into the bushes and grabbed the snivelling demon by the throat.
“What the hell are you?”
“Oh most powerful one, I formally served the most glorious…Glorificus.”
“Yes I have heard of you grovelling scum. I thought we killed most of you after The Slayer died. Tell me what you want before I kill you, my time’s wasting.”
“You may kill me if it pleases you oh leader of…”
“Get on with it.” Angel tightened his grip on its throat.
“I saw the other slayer my lord.”
“Ah yes, after Faith died there would have been a new slayer, what does she look like, is she with Faiths forces??” Angelus released the demon.
“You misunderstand this humble servant my lord, I saw the other slayer my lord, the one that they called Buffy.” Angelus looked at her for a long moment as if judging his sincerity, then he called off the hound.
“Take me to her.”
Faith felt rather than heard the hound retreat. It made absolutely no sense, Angel was so close to catching her. So why would he stop? He couldn’t have got the others so why would he have ceased pursuit? “Strife stop.” She stood staring in the direction of the caves but could see nothing, the undergrowth was far too thick to see any distance. The wolf returned to her side and whined, the sound was low but seemed urgent. “ I can’t I have to see if Dawns ok.” She should have gone in the opposite direction but something told her to follow the animal deeper into the ruins of Sunnydale. She sighed deeply and shook her head; things had stopped making sense when she became The Slayer, she should have been used to it by now.
Brambles scratched at her face and body, branches tore at her clothes and she kept tripping over the uneven ground. The wolf however seemed unimpeded, moving almost like mist through the tangle of undergrowth. It had been many years since Faith had been this way but even through the twists and turns of the forest she recognised where Strife was leading her. This was how to get to Buffys house. No one had been there for years so why was she being led there? Cresting a rise the wolf stopped and sat motionless resisting Faiths urgings to move, she checked her weapons before sitting on the hard unyielding ground. Waiting but for what she did not know.
*
The forest around Buffy and the gang seemed to come alive. Where there had been strange spiky red trees and bushes there was now a plethora of demons just as strange. Buffy lowered her weapon and the others followed suit, they were surrounded and the odds made it a hopeless fight. “It looks like they might capture us, they’re holding position.” Buffys voice was a whisper and she didn’t take her eyes off of the demons even for a second.
“What’s going on Buffy?” Willow was terrified.
“I don’t think this is our world, this must be some kind of hell dimension.” Xander was trying to be all manly but the quiver in his voice gave away his fear.
“Can’t you do anything Will?”
“You know I can’t do magick Buffy!”
“We have had experience with hell dimensions before.” Giles added as the group moved closer together struggling to prepare for whatever was to come.
“If it makes you feel better think that by all means.” A voice came out of the darkness, it was familiar but for a moment they couldn’t place it. Buffy however went pale. “But if you really want to know the truth this is your world! This is what it became after you left.”
“Angel?” Her voice was weak.
“Buff it’s been a while, miss me?”
Angel walked into the moonlight, it made his vampiric features look even paler. He smiled at her revealing his sharp fangs. Once upon a time she had been able to look at him and not even see his face but now it made her sick because she knew what he was.
“Angelus.” Buffys voice had hardened and she raised her crossbow.
“Oh give it up Buff, you were all ready to surrender before I appeared, so why bother changing your mind now?” There was a noise from far away and Angel sent some demons to investigate whatever had happened.
“What happened here?” Although she didn’t expect him to tell her the truth she needed to know and would try to get the information from any source, the vampire she had interrogated had told her nothing.
“This is what you did Buffy.”
Another rustle from the bushes and Angel nodded at his forces and they rushed to do his bidding, he returned his full attention to the petite slayer in front of him.
“What the hell are you talking about? I’ve been gone a couple of weeks what the hell is going in?”
“Hell is about right. Well for you humans this is hell. And I’ll be more than happy to show it to you.”
He motioned to his second in command “Tie them up.”
>Although they fought they were quickly restrained and tied to nearby trees. Buffy had her hands tied together high above her head so that she could not get any leverage to break free. The Slayer was immobile as the vampire approached her, Angels face morphed back into his human visage and he gave her a warm smile, for a moment he appeared like the man she had once loved. He crudely ran his hands down her sides and round to her ass pulling her body against his. She shuddered at his cold touch and spat into his face.
Angel slapped her hard across the face and turned to face his second in command, moments before the demons head fell at his feet. Buffy looked up as the huge hulking demon before her fell to the ground (sans head) and where he had fallen stood a girl dressed in black. A girl that Buffy recognised, their eyes met for a split-second before Faith turned to kill the vampire on her left side. Angelus smiled at the new arrival, “Two birds with one stone – gotta love that symmetry. Glad you could join us Faith.”
Faith looked at him coldly, “Let us finish this Angelus.”
“So eager to make a kill Faith, that isn’t like you.”
“You killed a lot of my best men tonight Angel did you think that I would let you get away with that. We have a score to settle you and I.”
“Perhaps but I’m not sure that you are up to it.”
She pulled a knife from the waistband of her trousers and threw it at Buffy before drawing her broadsword, “Why don’t we see?”
Buffy had looked at Faith as though she were a ghost, she was the first human they had seen since her return. She might have taken it for a dream except that Faith looked different than she remembered. She wore tanned animal skins of a mottled black that seemed to blend into the background and although that was different the vest and trousers were skin-tight. Her wild tresses were even longer now, falling almost to her waist. The silver moonlight shone on a long scar curving across one cheek, she looked older somehow but calmer than she had been when Buffy had known her. When she pulled out her dagger she looked extremely dangerous; her own blood covered the side of her face and both bare arms, she was badly injured.
Giles struggled against his bonds as Faith threw the knife at Buffy. The blade embedded itself in the tree above the blonde slayers head mostly severing her bonds. He looked in surprise as she swung a huge broadsword out of its scabbard and engaged Angel in a sword fight, with a precision and control that he had never seen in her. The brunette slayer hit Angel with a flurry of kicks and sword blows which the vampire could only block, but it was obvious she was tiring. Buffy was frantically moving her hands backwards and forwards against the blade trying to free herself, not once had she taken her eyes off of Faith.
Angel positioned himself to block the overhead slash she was aiming at him but didn’t react fast enough when she suddenly shifted her grip on the heavy blade and turned its momentum into a stabbing motion. He howled as the blade penetrated his chest narrowly missing his heart, he could feel the holy metal start to burn where it touched his skin. He pulled back his arm and hit Faith in the face as hard as he could, she fell to the floor ripping the sword out of him as she did so. He looked dawn at her prone body, he raised his own weapon and then noticed that Buffy had managed to free herself.
“So tell me Faith, who is the new slayer?”
“Go to hell!” She kicked up at him but he was gone.
Faith jumped to her feet as though she was going to go after him. Thinking better of it she turned to face Buffy and her friends. Her eyes were wide as she surveyed the people standing in front of her; B, Xander, Red, Giles, all people that she had never thought she would see again. It had been so long.
“Faith.” Buffys voice was low and as expressionless as her face.
“B?” Was all the brunette could say and her voice cracked on the single constant.
Xander clenched his fists and stalked towards the woman who had almost killed him and betrayed his friends. He stood in front of her for a long moment before drawing back his hand, his fist hit her in the face. Faith could have stopped him at any point, he had telegraphed his intentions but still she stood there with blood dripping from her nose. She suddenly pushed him so he fell to the ground, “That one was free, the next one you pay for!”
An eerie howl came from the forest, she cocked her head to listen. “We gotta get out of here. Angel will be back soon with reinforcements.”
“Why should we trust you?” Willow spoke up now, all of the old resentments in her voice but with a new strength.
“Do you see anyone else around?”
“Faith.” Giles paused for a moment, “Previous experience has taught us to be wary of you. We’ll need some information before we will follow you.”
“Yeah right. Angelus will be here in minutes with what’s left of his army, those are odds that even me and B can’t beat. You have no idea what’s coming and I wouldn’t give you a cent for your chances if you don’t follow me.” With these words she turned on her heel and walked swiftly away leaving them staring after her. Buffy took a deep breath and followed Faith into the unknown.
