___________________________________________________________________________________
ACT 1.
Faith and Kennedy sat at the Table. waitng for Skyler. She'd called, and said she had a vision, and was on her way.
KENNEDY
So, how did she sound, to you?
FAITH.
It didn't sound like her, at all. I mean, it was her voice, but I felt like I was talking to a dead person.
KENNEDY.
Poor kid. Lossing both her best friends, on the same day. I hope they fry, that little punk. What makes someone do that, anyway?
FAITH.
I don't know, I guess he was scared. When you think nobody's on you side, it can make you crazy.
KENNEDY.
Are you saying, it was OK, what he did?"
FAITH.
No, I'm not. I'm just saying. People can go wrong. It's hard to explain, But.
KENNEDY.
But nothing. He's a killer, and that's all. (Then she notices the look, on her face) Oh, Faith, I'm sorry.
FAITH.
No, It's Ok.
KENNEDY.
Look, your not like him. You changed, you wanted to change.
FAITH.
Yeah, I guess. Anyway I think we need to think about Skyler. She needs to know, she can trust us. We (Then Skyler walks in. Faith had given her a key.) Hey kid. How you.
SKYLER.
(Cutting her off) We should go. Kids are going to die.
FAITH.
Yeah, we should. Listen if you.
SKYLER.
We're wasting time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inside an old basement, an older man, is standing in front of three. young children. (two boys, and a girl.)
OLD MAN.
I'm so glad, you've came. I do love childern. Do you know, what I love most, about them?
GIRL.
Please sir, let us go. We're scared. We want to go home.
OLD MAN.
But we're having fun. I have someone for you to meet. (He shows them a satute, of a creature, with two heads. one a dog, the other a bird) His name, is Lechack. And he loves childern. I just know, he's going to love you.(Suddenly the door breaks down, and Faith runs in, followed by Kenny, and Skyler.) Excuss me. I'm busy at the moment.
FAITH.
You are now. (She kicks him, into the wall, as Skyler gets the kids, out of the room.)
OLD MAN.
Do you know, who hard I worked, for those children. They were sacrifices, to Lechack.
FAITH.
You mean the child eating demon, won't be fed? Oh no.
She jumps, to kick him, but he rasies his hand, and she stops in mid air. Then she's sent flying, into Kenny.
He then turns to Skyler. She chants some words, and he is covered with smoke. But it only last a
momenet, and it goes away, without hurting him.
SKYLER.
(Sheepishly) Uh, had enough? (He answers her, by hitting her, with an energy ball, knocking her down) Ow, that sucked.
Faith, and Kenny kick him, at the same time. But he rasies his hand, and Kenny goes flying, into the wall. Faith tries to punch him, but he touches her head, and she goes down.
OLD MAN.
Your so good, to care for them. But I sense some, not so good, in you. I think it needs to come out.
FAITH.
AAAAHHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!!(She screams, in pain. But then it stops, and she wakes up in bed) Uh man, what a dream.) Then she realsies She's not in her room. In fack, it looks like her old room, from Sunnydale. (Ok, what the hell, is going on?
Suddenly the door opens, and the Mayor walks in. (Wait, did I say the Mayor?)
MAYOR.
Rise, and Shine, sleepy head. Hope you decent.
FAITH.
(Just stands there, staring, in disbelief.)
MAYOR.
You Ok, sweetheart? Are you coming down, with something? Now this is why I tell you, to eat your vegetables. I know you kids, think that's not cool, but there's nothing uncool about nutrition.
FAITH.
(Still silent.)
MAYOR.
Ok, what's wrong? You clearly upset about something?
FAITH.
Uh, just a bad dream.
MAYOR.
Well you safe now. (he gives her a hug.) Nothing's going to happen to my girl.
Faith just stands there, for a moment. It doesn't make sense, and he is evil. But she has missed him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenny carries Faith, into her room. Skyler is right behind her.
SKYLER.
What's wrong with her?
KENNEDY.
I don't know. She's breathing. He just touched her. I'd take her, to the hospital, but I dout they could help. I know Faith won't like it, but I have to call the Coucil. I just hope.
SKYLER.
(Yelling at the sky.) WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? I'M DOING EVERYTHING YOU WANT, AND YOU KEEP TAKING EVERYONE! I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!! (crying) I HATE YOU!!!!!!!
KENNEDY.
(Grabing her) HEY! She's going to be Ok! We just have to. (Suddenly Faith opens her eyes, and looks at them.) Faith! It's going to be Ok, You just have to.
FAITH.
(Kicks Kenny, in the jaw, knocking her down.) WHO THE FUCK, ARE YOU?
KENNEDY.
FAITH, WHAT THE HELL?
FAITH.
(Runs at Skyler, grabs her, and chokes her.) I'll ask the questions!
KENNEDY.
STOP!
FAITH.
(Relesing her neck, but still holding her) Start talking. Where am I?
KENNEDY.
You don't know?
FAITH.
(Punching Skyler) Talk, or I stop playing nice!
KENNEDY.
(Trying to be clam) Faith, you don't want to do this. We're your friends. Something's been done, to you. Your under a spell.
FAITH.
Now we're getting somewhere. Ok, what's this spell do?
SKYLER.
Besides make you nuts?
FAITH.
Your kind of a moron, aren't you, freakshow? (She punchs Skyler, in the ribs, and a snaping sound, is heard.)
SKYLER.
AAHHHHAAA!!!! YOU BITCH!
KENNEDY.
FAITH! I don't want to fight you, but I will, if I have to! Let her go!
FAITH.
Yeah right. I guess you don't know what a slayer is.
KENNEDY.
I'm a slayer too!
FAITH.
Your a slayer? Ha, then B's dead! Maybe this ain't so bad. (She pushes Skyler at Kenny. Wile Kenny's distracted, Faith picks up the dresser, and smashes it, over Kenny's head, knocking her out.) See, if you hadn't told me, you were a slayer, your could've surpised me. (Grabs Skyler.) When she wakes up, tell her I'll see her soon. (starts to leave, but turns around) Oh, one more thing. (She punches Skyler, and knocks her out) You get, all that?

WILLOW.

FAITH.

WILLOW.
Wh what does the spell do?
FAITH.
That's my business. Not yours.
WILLOW.
Well, how do I break it, if I don't even know what it does?

KENNEDY.

SKYLER.
No, I'm Ok. It can wait. We have to find her, before she does something.
KENNEDY.
Ok, we find her. The I kick her ass. The we help her. The I kick her ass, some more.
SKYLER.
Good plan. But Without a vision, we need someone, that can find her.
KENNEDY.
Oh, not dogboy. (Skyler looks at her) Ok, we'll go talk to him. Hey, you said something, when I tried to wake you. You said, "No Mommy". What were you dreaming?
SKYLER.
(worried) Oh, um She was trying to make me go, to school. And I didn't want to go. We should find Faith.
KENNEDY.
You know, if you ever want to talk.
SKYLER.
(Angry) I don't. Let's go.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUNNYDALE.
Buffy knocked on Xander's door. It was Saturdy, so no school.
XANDER.
(Opening the door) Hey Buff. What's up?
BUFFY.
Hey Xander. Have you heard from Willow today. She was supposed to meet me, for a shoping trip. She never showed up.
WILLOW.
Maybe she oversleep.
BUFFY.
No, I went by her house. It's not like her, to disappear. I mean she's on time, for a root canal.
XANDER.
You think something happend to her.
BUFFY.
Well, let's not panic just yet. I think she said, she was going to the magic box, first, we'll start there.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith, and Willow went into an abandon building.
FAITH.
This will work. Ok, get started.
WILLOW.
I can't. I need some things.
FAITH.
OK, I'll get them, just write it down.
WILLOW.
I think, I should go. It's better, if I.
FAITH.
Nice try, Red. But your not leaving, until I get what I want. Now what do you need?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Later Faith is at the magic box, getting the things, Willow asked for. As she was walking out of the store, she bumped into Buffy.
FAITH.
B, Oh shit, I don't need this.
BUFFY.
What's in the bag, Faith? Since when do you do magic? You know where Willow is, don't you?
FAITH.
I don't know, what your.
BUFFY.
(She punches Faith, knocking her down) Wrong answer!
Buffy hits Faith, in the jaw, and follows up, with a kick, to the gut, knocking her, into the wall. Buffy then goes for another kick, but Faith moves, and Buffy's leg goes though the wall. Faith jumps, and hits Buffy, with a spinning kick. Then she grabs her bag, and takes off. Buffy pulls her leg, out of the wall, and goes after her. But she losses her.
BUFFY.
DAMN IT! She knows where Will is, I know it!
XANDER.
It's Ok, we'll find.
BUFFY.
NO, IT'S NOT! If she hurts Will, Human, or not, I'LL KILL HER!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDEN.
Kenny, and Skyler walked into Oz's store.
OZ.
Ladies. What's up?
SKYLER.
We need your help.
OZ.
I'm out, remember?
SKYLER.
I'm sorry, but we need someone to track Faith. SHe's been possesed, or something.
OZ.
What do you mean.
SKYLER.
The guy, put a spell, on her. She doesn't know who she is. And she crazy.
KENNEDY.
Wait, she does know Buffy. When I told her, I was a slayer, she said, it meant Buffy must be dead. So it's like she's just forgoten a few years.
OZ.
Oh. I think I know what's going on.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith, is in a library, that she's broken into. She has a young girl, like 16, 17, with her.
GIRL.
Please let me go. Please.
FAITH.
Do what I want, and I'll think about it. Now, what year, is this?
GIRL.
What?
FAITH.
(Hits the girl, hard) Do I studder, bitch! What year?
GIRL.
Uh uh, it's 2005.
FAITH.
Uh shit! (Then she looks in the mirror, on the wall) That's why, I look like an old hag. Alright, I need you to get on the computer, and look up Sunnydale, graduation, 1999.
GIRL.
Please just. (Faith hits her, again, knocking some teeth out) OH GOD, PLEASE STOP! I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING, TO YOU!
FAITH.
(pulls out, a large butcher knife, she'd stoled, earler) DO IT!
She gets on the computer, and looks up Graduation. The page comes up, and tell about what happened. How the school was destroyed, and the Mayor was killed. Faith is stillet, for a moment, then grabs the girl, and shoves the blade, into her gut. She begins to sceam, and smash the place up. She didn't know why she why she couldn't remember, the last few years, and didn't care. The only real father, she'd ever know, was dead. And so was his killer. So she was robbed, of her revenge.
FAITH.
AAAHHHHAA! DAMN YOU, B! YOU FUCKING BITCH! I HATE YOU! YOUR LUCKY, YOUR DEAD! YOU ARE SO LUCKY! IF ANY OF YOUR FRIEND, OR FAMILY, IS STILL AROUND, I WILL KILL THEM ALL! DO YOU HEAR ME, YOU STUPID WHORE! THEIR DEAD!!!!!!!
Suddenly she looks over, and sees Kenny, Oz, and Skyler standing their. Staring, in disbelief, at the dead girl.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
ACT 3.
SUNNYDALE.
Willow is prepairing, for the spell. She has to wait, for Faith to preform it. But she is doing what she can, to get ready. Without looking she puts her hand, on a beer bottle. (some homeless probable left it) And it breaks. She screams, as it begins to bleed. At that time Faith walks in.
WILLOW.
AAHHHHAAA! OOOWWWWWWW!
FAITH.
What's wrong?
WILLOW.
THIS BOTTLE, I CUT MYSELF!
FAITH.
(She grabs Willow's hand, and looks at it) It's not bad. Could've been worse. (She takes a bottle, vodka, that she bought earlier, before the Buffy thing. And poors it on hand. Then rips off a piece of her shirt, and puts it on her hand.) Just hold this there, for a minute, you'll be fine.
WILLOW.
(Suspisious look) Why are you helping me?
FAITH.
Uh, I'm not. I uh, just want you to stop whining, and do the damn spell. So do it!
WILLOW.
Ok, but I really need to know, what it did, to you, if I'm going.
FAITH.
You do it, Red, I'm not playing, with you!
WILLOW.
No!
FAITH.
Excuss me?
WILLOW.
I, I'm not helping you. (Faith puts a knife, to her neck.) You don't scare me, uh that's a big knife. Uh, I uh I'm not helping you, and you can't make me.
FAITH.
Red, I will kill you, if you don't.
WILLOW.
(Clearly scared, and voice shaking. But still holding her ground.) Do what you want, I'm still not helping you.
FAITH.
(To herself) Damn it Red, why'd you have to pick now, to be all brave(She pulls away, the knife, and lets her go.) Fine! Go then! Get out of here!
WILLOW.
What? Your just going to.
FAITH.
Do you want me to kill you?
WILLOW.
Bye. (She takes of, out the door.)
FAITH.
DAMN IT! (She sits down, in the floor, and puts her head, in her hands) What the hell, am I going to do, Now!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EDEN.
KENNEDY.
Oh God, what did you do?
FAITH.
Well, she'd done, what I wanted her too. So why keep her around? Hey, Oz. Good to see you, saves me some trouble.
OZ.
Wait, you know me?
FAITH.
Yeah, I know you. Funny thing though. I can't seem to remeber the last few years. Last thing I remember, is Sunnydale, right before Graduation.
OZ.
Oh God!
FAITH.
So I looked things up. The Mayors dead. And since the rookies here (pointing a Kenny) means B's dead. So I won't have the pleasure, of gutting her, like a fish. So I guess I'll have to kill her friends. Starting with you. I think I'll move on to Red, next.
KENNEDY.
If you touch her, I'll kill you!
FAITH.
OK, that's weird. But at least I know she's still alive, now. Now I just need to know, where she is.
OZ.
Faith, listen to me. I don't know why you can't remember, but you've changed, over the years. You one of the good guys now. You help people now.
FAITH.
Your kidding, right? Cuss if I'm a good good like B, I think I'd rather just kill myself. After I kill everybody else.
KENNEDY.
Faith, we're your friends. We want to help you. You can trust us. Just.
Faith ran to hit her, but she was ready, this time. She grabed her arm, and threw her, into the wall. She tried to hold Faith, but got kicked in the ribs, and triped. Faith kicked at her head, but Kenny moved, and triped her. She put Faith, in a choke hold.
KENNEDY.
Faith, we don't have to do this! Let us (Faith gouges Kenny. in the eye, and she lets go) AAHHH!
Suddenly Oz changes, and goes at Faith, but she grabs Skyler, and puts her, between them.
FAITH.
Hey, that's new. Two on one's not very fair. Think I'm going to take my hostage, and go home. (she looks out, at Oz's van.) Keys, Now!
OZ.
No.
FAITH.
(Grabing Skyler's neck) THEN SHE DIES! (Oz gives her, the keys) Don't even think about following me.
She gets in the car, with Skyler, and drives off.
SKYLER.
Wh what are you going to do?
FAITH.
Don't worry, freakshow. We're going to have fun. I'm out of pratice, and you going to get me back, in shape, for the others.
