Faith stared at bloody knife that rested in her hand. Faith thought this killing would be just as easy as all the others, but this time was different, it wasn’t just some person in an alley, or some volcano doctor professor thing. This girl wasn’t an object at the mercy of her blade, it was Dawn. She remembered the Christmas she spent with the Summers family, it was over seventy degrees and still Joyce insisted on keeping a fire going. Dawn greeted Faith at the door with a stick and a marshmallow.
“S’mores.” Dawn said with a smile. Faith couldn’t help but smirk, it was that moment that she started wishing she was someone else. She would have traded everything just to have half of what Buffy had.
Faith looked at the body once more. But there was nothing to see, it was gone. Where did it go? Faith thought as she looked to the ground assuming it…she fell. She looked up to see a several little green lights zooming above her then slowly faded away.
“T-The essence of the key.” Faith heard from behind her. She had completely forgotten that Giles was with her. Faith was utterly surprised when she turned to face him, Giles was crying. This whole time he was so… so coldhearted and now he was crying? Faith tried to think of another moment when she had seen Giles cry. Figuring she was working so hard to find a memory, she figured he must not be…
“Where’s my sister?” With a clank of footsteps, Faith saw a figure appear behind Giles. They both turned to see the blonde slayer creep up behind them.
“Where is Dawn?” Buffy questioned threateningly moving closer and closer to Giles. Before Buffy did something she regretted Faith stepped in between the two.
“Calm down, B.” Faith said. She put her hands up to keep Buffy back; this was a mistake as Buffy saw the bloody knife.
“No.” Buffy screamed as tears trickled down her face. “No. No. No.”
Faith hated seeing Buffy like this. She wasn’t good at emotional situations; still she racked her brain from something comforting to say.
“I’m sorry, B.” It was the only thing Faith could think of that wasn’t stupid…as stupid as some of the other statements that came to mind.
“Buffy, she’s passed.” Giles said from behind Faith.
A few nervous moments passed. Buffy just stared down as Faith’s bloody hands. Faith hugged Buffy, she felt someone shaking, she wasn’t sure if it was Buffy or herself. That’s when it happened; it happened so fast and unexpectantly that Faith had no time to react. That or she didn’t want to. Buffy reached behind her and grabbed the knife.
She stabbed Faith quick in the stomach. She gave and unbuffy-like evil grin.
“Déjà vu.” Buffy said. Faith gave a surprised look as Buffy threw her off the knife and the tower.
Faith closed her eyes and waited for the ground to come.
