Faith the raven haired rebel slayer runs along the trail of a park being chased by bringers, they have their daggers unsheathed with the obvious intention of killing her.
I thought the first was finished, scrunched, but I find myself being chased by it?s bringers, come on Faith gotta gain the higher ground, then you can slaughter the fuckers.
She sees a hill right ahead of her and begins to sprint up it.
Yes.
She gets to the top and comes to a halt.
Alright you bastards, bring it on.
The first bringer drops his dagger on her, she grabs his wrist and kicks him in the side, she twists his wrist causing him to drop the dagger, she catches it and slits his throat and blood sprays out as he falls to die. Four more bringers come at her. She side kicks one and roundhouses another one. She grabs the other oncoming bringer and knees him in the stomach, she then sends the blade into his back and twists it so he feels the pain and then dies. She pulls the dagger out, she grabs another bringer turns him around and stabs him eight times in the chest. There?s only two bringers left. She picks up another dagger.
"Come on you bitches." Faith says taunting them.
One stands to her left and the other to her right. They raise their daggers and run at her. Faith crouches down on one knee, lifts her arms and sends the blades into the chests of the two bringers, they let out a shout of pain as they fall to their deaths. Faith stands up and drops the blood soaked daggers. She looks at her shirt and there's blood on it.
"God damn it, you got blood on my shirt!"
The sun rises. Spike is awake watching the guy tied to the chair. Buffy and Dawn are sharing the sofa bed. Xander walks out of one room and Willow and Kennedy walk out of the other.
"Um, can I go hide in some bodies room until the sun isn't so bright on me." Spike says.
"You can hide in my room." Willow says.
"Just don't go smelling my undergarments Mr."
"Right then, I'll make a mental note of that."
Buffy and Dawn wake up.
"Is that guy awake yet?" Dawn says.
"Doesn't look like it." Buffy says.
"Lets all take turns in the shower and the others will watch for wakiness." Xander says.
"Sounds like a plan." Buffy says.
Deep in the caves Marcel is with the first still in the form of Buffy.
"The slayer has one of ours."
"That is unacceptable, she cannot know what you plan, find her and get him back."
"That"s the problem, we do not know where to find the slayer."
"If I have to, I will send my bringers and they'll just kill him."
"Then so be it, every sacrifice is necessary for your ascension to a corporeal being."
"I like your way of thinking, then so be it, they find him, he dies."
Faith walks into her run down apartment. She picks up her phone and makes a call to England.
Giles picks up the phone.
"Hello, this is Rupert Giles."
"Giles, it's Faith."
"Ah Faith, hello."
"Hey, listen like five bringers chased me down last night while I was patrolling, what the hell is that all about?"
"Well, we have reason to believe the first is finally back."
"Really what kind of reason?"
"Well the fact that the harbringers are active again and that the first appeared to us early last week."
"Oh, where's this all going down?"
"Everything seems to be happening in Cleveland."
"The other hell mouth."
"Buffy is there with the others, you should go there soon, they may need your help."
"Sure thing."
Faith hangs up the phone.
"Looks like I'm leaving Boston yet again."
It's mid afternoon in Cleveland. Buffy and Dawn are sitting around.
"So Xander finally went back to work?" Dawn says.
"Yep, and Willow is at school." Buffy responds.
"Oh, and this guy attacked you last night?"
"Yep, one of many out of the blue, we kicked their asses and they ran away, didn't put up much of a fight." Buffy stops and ponders.
"It was rather pathetic actually."
Suddenly he opens his eyes and lifts his head, he looks around.
"Where the hell am I?"
"In the good company of enemies." Buffy says with a smile on her face.
She punches him in the nose. He screams out in pain.
"N\ow, start talking, who are you, and what's the deal with you robbed fuckers." Buffy says.
"I'll tell you nothing slayer."
"Bull shit."
She holds a dagger to his throat.
"You won't kill me."
"What makes you think that?"
"You kill me and you get no information."
"Ok."
Buffy puts the weapon down.
"I'll just have to settle for beating you up until you start talking."
"Hit me all you like, you'll get nothing from me."
Buffy punches him. Spike walks out.
"What's going on, oh hey the pansy boys awake."
"Yea and he's not talking."
"Maybe we should wait for Willow to get back. She can do something to him." Dawn says.
"Good idea." Buffy says.
"What do you mean by something?"
"Oh Willow, she's a very powerful witch, she almost destroyed the world once, if you don't talk she'll probably just disembowel you in a slow painful way with the wiggle of her finger." Buffy says.
"I can call your bluff slayer." He says his voice trembling.
"Yea I bet, dip shit."
A few hours goes by. Everyone is sitting in silence watching tv including the cult member. The door opens and Willow walks in.
"Oh look it's the witch." Buffy says to him.
"So?" he says in retort.
"Oh hey, he's awake. What does he know?"
"We're trying to figure that out. But he won't speak maybe you can convince him."
"Well I'll see what I can do."
"As long as you don't disembowel me with the wiggle of the finger."
She looks at him.
"Only as a last resort." Willow says.
Just then Xander walks through the door with his lunch box and hard hat.
"Oh hey the hood boy is up."
"Willow, Xander come with me." Buffy says.
They walk into Xander's room. They close the door.
"Willow what can you do?"
"Well, I can do a truth spell, once that babies cast he'll sing more than a canary."
"Alright, good do it, then we can find out what he's up to."
They walk out of the room and stand before him staring at him. Willow recites an incantation in Latin and the man becomes quiet.
"Alright speak now." Buffy says.
"My name is Marcus, I'm part of a cult that worships the first evil."
"Well that explains why you attacked us."
"Not everything."
"Keep talking."
"We've existed since the beginning of man, we're everywhere, all over the world, we spent generations trying to create the vessel."
"The vessel, what's the vessel?"
"The vessel, is a man, stronger than others, he alone will be able to carry the first making it flesh."
"Oh just fucking great." Buffy says. "Where is this vessel?"
"We don't know, we are searching for him currently."
"Ok, one more question and make this answer really count. What's the ritual consist of to make the first flesh?"
Before he can speak a handful of bringers enter the apartment.
"Not in my apartment!"
"Sorry Will, I'll replace anything I break!" Buffy says.
She kicks a bringer in the face and sweeps another. They all attack Willow, Xander, Spike, Dawn and Kennedy. They fight them off. One bringer sneaks by and pulls a dagger, he stabs Marcus in the chest and twists it killing him. Buffy stabs a bringer and then cuts the throat of another. The rest run away now that the task is finished.
"Well that was bracing, now back to our Q and A session." Buffy looks over to see Marcus dead.
"Son of a bitch."
"Buffy, I got a dead body, three dead bodies in my apartment, I don't mean to sound like a bitch but I can't accept that." Willow says.
"Don't worry, Spike and I will take care of it."
"Right then, I need a shovel and a trunk."
"Things I have." Xander says.
Soon
Willow is sitting outside. Xander walks out and sits with her.
"Quite a day huh Will, you're in class and then you're attacked by bringers to kill a man who knows too much."
"Yep, and then some."
"Other things on your mind?"
Willow looks at him and nods.
"My ear is free if you want to talk."
"Well I've been thinking long and hard for many nights now, and I want to break up with Kennedy, but I'm afraid to hurt her."
"Willow, you have to think about yourself in this situation, it's your wants, needs and happiness at stake, you have to do what you think is best for you."
"Thanks Xander."
"No problem."
Willow leans in and kisses him on the lips. She stands up and walks inside. Xander stops and smiles.
