Human Weakness: Human Weakness
by Siannaxz
Buffy and Faith dream
***
Buffy woke, she was in a hospital and there was a bandage on her neck, the events of that night came back to her, Faith, Angel, the feeling of him biting into her neck.
She got out of the bed and walked into another room, Faith was there. Buffy walked over and kissed Faith on the forehead.
Faith’s eyes opened and she looked at Buffy.
“Hey B, where are we?”
“The hospital. I’m sorry I stabbed you.”
“Kay, Lets go stop the Ascension”
“Are you serious?!”
“Uh-huh. Human weakness”
“So, I’m guessing that was a shared dream”
“Guess so”
“What made you change your mind?”
“Something Willow said”
Faith stood up and they walked into the hallway. Giles, Willow, Xander and Oz were there, They all gave Faith a nasty glare.
“What’s she doing here?” Asked Willow
“I’m helping stop the ascension” Replied Faith
***
In the library Buffy was sitting on a chair and Faith was sitting next to her. The others were all there too.
“So why exactly is she here?” Asked Cordelia indicating at Faith
“Apparently helping” Said Willow
“We know how to stop the ascension” said Buffy
“Yeah, it’s simple. We just need to play on his human weakness” Added Faith
“Which is?” Asked Xander
“Me”
“She’s right, at the hospital he was really upset when Faith was in a coma” Said Angel
***
Faith was at her apartment and she had the knife, she was getting it for Buffy. Faith felt good now that she had decided to do the right thing. She didn’t think any of them would forgive her soon but she didn’t mind.
***
Angel and Buffy were the only ones still in the library, they were arguing. Buffy was sitting on the same chair as before and Angel was standing in the corner.
“So your really just going to leave after we stop the ascension?” Said Buffy, she was upset
“I already said, I think it’s for the best” Replied Angel
“But everything just going right now” Said Buffy standing up and walking over to him “Faith is back and we have a good chance of stopping the ascension!” She was angry now
“I know, but I have to leave”
Buffy kissed him. He pushed her away.
“Listen. Buffy, I know this is hard for you—”
Buffy stepped away from him
“No” She was crying “No. You don’t know!”
Buffy ran out of the library, Faith was there. Buffy had tears streaming from her eyes.
“B, What’s wrong?” Enquired Faith
“Angel broke up with me and now he’s trying to make it seem like it was for my own good”
“Come on, we’ll go outside and sit down” Said Faith leading Buffy away.
They went outside and sat down on a bench.
“Now, do you want to tell me what’s wrong?” Asked Faith
“Angel broke up with me right before the prom and said that it won’t work between us”
Faith patted her back “B, it’s okay, I’m sure you could find someone better, maybe even someone with a reflection”
Buffy laughed
“Faith”
“Yeah”
“I’m glad you’re here”
“Me too” They both smiled “I got the knife”
Faith showed Buffy the knife, Faith’s blood was still on it. She gave it to Buffy.
“Thank you” Said Buffy
“You’re welcome” Faith stood up “So do you want to get ready for the ascension?”
***
The Mayor had just ascended. Everyone else had left. Buffy showed him the knife, she was terrified, Suddenly Faith’s hand was on her shoulder.
“Come on B” she smiled “We can do this”
They ran through the school and the mayor followed them, they got to the library and he followed them in there. He stopped, by now they had already left the library. The school exploded.
Now it was Faith’s turn to cry.
“He really cared for me” she said to Buffy later
“I guess you miss him”
“Yeah, I’ll get over it eventually. I guess we all have our own human weakness’ ”
They walked back to Faith’s apartment, which was a total wreak because of the fight earlier.
“Hey B”
“Yeah?”
“Could I maybe stay the night at your place?”
“Sure”
