Episode Two: Time Ago

Previously:
"Welcome home Faith" she says to herself.
Faith sees a girl fighting the girls turns to reveal herself as Dawn
"Buffy you know what you have to do" states Willow as she transfers Buffy's powers into Faith.
"Sorry i didn't see you" says Dawn as a girl crashes into her
the same girl steps out of the shadows and stakes a Vampire.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What does it do?" asks Dawn curiously gazing at the small rounded object Faith removed from a demon

"Beats me, looks like a wicked cool paperweight though...cept here we are the the lack of paper"

Dawn is sprawled across the chair covered in her blanket, her hair is loosly tied and strands are out all over the place, the tip of her nose is bright red and her eyes are watered

"Dawn, you look like you ate dead people" jokes Faith "You didn't did you?" she questions with more sincerity in her voice pulling strands of thick dark hair behind her ears.

"No i didn't eat dead people" is the reply coming from Dawns raw throat "I felt all...blah since that stupid spell, I think i'm allergic to college you know?"

Faith walks over and plods herself next to Dawn, brushing her hair back "You'll live kid"

Seeming aware of the moment of caring that just took place Faith breaks it almost in fear "I gotta go, you need anything D?"
"Ice Cream"
"For your cold right? Nice try"
Faith grabs a bag and slings it over the shoulder of her dirty denim jacket

"Be good" says Dawn, all stuffed up, Faith smiles back at her and leaves

"I'm not a kid" Dawn says to herself before curling up in the blankets and noticing the clock to her left "Ooh, Maury's on"

It's a bright sunny day in Boston, children are enjoying the weekend, parents are chasing them along the docks with trying to clean ice cream from them.

Faith pauses momentarily to take in the scenery "It's not as bad as you remember?" says a voice coming from behind her.

Faith turns to see Travis stood there, is it just her or does he look devilishly handsome in this light?

A sort of jagged sharp jawline and a rugged designer stubble take place beneath his sparkling rich brown eyes, as his bronzed skin seems to glisten in the sun.

"It's not too shabby for Faith" she replies as the two slowly walk along the street.

"So, Trav, tell me about you, why did Gunn send you here?"

Travis smiles to himself as the two barely move in thier doddling "Just to have your back"
Faith smiles "Innuendo?"
"No, to watch your back, which hasn't been so far unwatchable"

Faith raises her left brow at Travis and smiles
"aint you the charmer, what you think you can sleep with me?"
"Not at all, look but dont touch and all that"

carrying on in silence the two come to a rather loud crowd near the college entrance, cheering and learing the crowd is wild.

The two run over to check things out, pushing her way to the front of the crowd Faith is somewhat surprised to see a girl with coffee coloured skin and long flowing red hair, quite skillfully beating on a demon, the girl is standing at around 5'6" with a slim build and qucik moves.

Faith steps into the game leaping onto the demon and snapping its neck as the crowd begin to clear.

The girl is cold with Faith
"You're welcome" spits Faith rather pissed at the ignorance

"I didn't need your help lady"

Faith looks the girl up and down, wanting desperately to hit her, clenching her fists and gritting her teeth
"I think you wanna explain who you are"

The girl throws her bag down and gets right up into Faiths face, thier breath winds round eachothers as they're so close "I'm Thalia...the Vampire Slayer"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Faith takes a moment to examine the girl "Did i die or something?"

"You're Faith?!" replies the girl almost embarrassed and shocked.

"The one and only and you know what...dying? You think a girl would remember something like that" Faith remarks closing back in on the girl.

Thalia looks around blushing "Oh, that...I'm not really the Slayer"

Faith looks over to Travis and they both return looks at Thalia that could implicate thier thoughts about her sanity.

"Explanation?" peeps Travis from the background.

"Oh, right, well...we weren't sure whether you...or anyone had survived Sunnydale and so these people called the Elders, they kinda hired me too pose as the Slayer to scare off demons and stuff until they knew if another was coming"

Thalia walks over to Travis and hands him her bag "Want food?" asks Thalia to the slightly dazed pair "I always feel really...hungry after fighting"

Rubiing her hand along the surface of Travis' arm she cheekily smiles and leans in for a whisper "and Horny" Faith looks on and smiles shaking her head.

Dawn is half asleep on the sofa, still appearing worse for wear, she is very weak and somewhat dilusional.

"Hey, kitty" smiles Dawn enthusiastically through a hoarse cough. She begins to stroke one of the slippers Faith left by the table.

The phone begins ringing, sounding louder than normal to Dawn at least.

"Hello?" "No she's not here right now can i take a message?"

Dawn scampers around for a pen and paper and writes an adress down "Bye" she can barely say as she clanks around trying to put the phone back on the receiver.

Taking a moment to gather herself Dawn reads what she's written down

"Faith, where are you?" she mumbles to herself rolling her eyes.

Grabbing a jacket from her room and slipping boots on, Dawn heads out with a weapons bag, still in pyjamas.

Thalia and Faith are sat opposite eachother both with thier tiny hands tightly holding rather large cheeseburgers as if thier life depended on it, taking large bites before eve swallowing the last.

Thalia comes up for air, only to take a sip on her strawberry shake.

"Food good" she splurts as Travis looks on at the girls in astonishment, catching Faiths eye.

"Girls gotta eat Travis, this isn't Hollywood"

They're sat in Dolly's Diner, a small broken down place, not the nicest. The tables are small and quare with a metal rim, like something they'd have used on the set of 'Happy Days'.

The walls however are covered with pictures of women in motion. The chairs are red imitation leather with tears revealing yellow foam underneath, the floors are brown from white and the windows can be written on with your finger.

"At least the foods cheap" says Travis feeling uncomfortable in the seats.

"Can't be a snop in this game Trav" says Faith with a mouthful of food.

"So, Thalia...what's this Elders stuff?"

"What i said they get girls to be stand in Slayers for the council, whilst they track them down or something like that"

"They know B then? Buffy?"

Thalia looks up wide eyes and in awe "You know Buffy?"

"Yeah, we're like Sisters...who fight, alot"
Faith indicates a picture of the two fighting in the corner of the diner.

"These pictures are of Slayers?" asks Thalia in astonishment.

"Yeah, Dolly, she's a demon, she's like a Slayer Stalker"

Both Thalia and Travis throw baffled looks at Faith who slowly realises what she said.

"Oh, yeah, she poisons your food and everything..." is Faiths reaction, taking advantage of the situation.

"Joking....she's wicked cool, been friends for years kinda...she got my autograph and feeds me with the information that i need"

"Why you so interested in Buffy?" Faith asks changing the subject as the three of them leave and Faiths waves at Dolly.

"She's like infamous, she was a Slayer for such a long time" Thalia rolls out like a fanatic.

"She was only a slayer a year longer than me, besides she dies like all the time"

Before the three of them are out of sight of the Diner, Dolly comes running out "Faith, Faith, Faith" says the tiny little woman in a 50's style Pink and white dress, with her black dreadlocks clipped up in a hair net.

"Sup?"

"That little girl you play with..."

"I don't play with little girls thats gr...oh, Dawn?"

"She's gone to face a fight alone, she's not in a good way and this thing is strong"


A feverish Dawn is slowly walking through a graveyard holding a crossbow.

"I didn't even change my clothes how sad is this?"

"Not as sad as your Sisters will feel when they find your body" says a voice from behind her.

Dawn spins releasing an arrow towards the location of the voice but it's vanished, turning back Dark Willow stands infront of her smiling "You shoot like a little girl"

Dawn takes a step back in shock, looking for an escape route, only the Boston cemetary is so far unexplored territory for Dawn, it stretches for miles, on one side she has the entrance from which she came.

To get there she'd have to weave through at least four hundred head stones, on the other side is woods, woods that seem to stretch out into Darkness

"Don't even try it little bit" says the voice now appearing to be a bloody mouthed Spike "Big sister tasted great last night and all those other times to"

"The First" whimpers Dawn as the image morphs into Glory

"You wish Dawnie, mister can't touch a thing aint got nothing on me"

Grabbing Dawn by the collar the demon hurls her into the wall of a tomb, crashing over to her the form changes again, Dawn comes round to the gentle smile across the face of Tara.

"Dawnie, it's okay, give me your hand" the words seemed so convincing in Dawns delirium that she accepted the offer.

The demon pulled her up hard and grabbed her by the shoulders throwing her into an empty grave, changing into Dawn herself the creature looked down over Dawn

"You'll be safe down there, no more nasty demons"

DemonDawn looks up to see Faith and the others running towards her "I'm over hear, I'm okay" says DemonDawn looking smuggly back at the grave as she walks over to Faith.

Dawn is laying motionless in the hole.

Commercial Break
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Outside a small badly built apartment building a rather fiesty young woman is going at it with a young man, rather passionately on the bonnet of a dark blue '94 Honda Civic, not the best of cars but it's the prinicipal that the car isn't theres.

Andrew comes skating along the street slurping on a Maxi coke, he's paying little or no attention to where he's going, he sings to himself "It's raining men, hallelujah"

next thing you know Andrews on the floor, with his slurpy all over him

"Sorry lady, I didn't see you there, i was enthraled in the verses of the weathergirls classic that was badly covered by Ginger Spice, you like that song cause i think it's really catchy and..."

He is cut off as the woman smiles and he notices the mans extreme bleeding neck

"Oh, you're a...well bye then"

"Leaving so soon? I think you should stay for a while?"

"Really?" Andrew seems excited at the possibility of a friend "I mean, no evil hell bitch"

"Fine, have it your way, they always taste better after the chase anyway"

the vampire stumbles towards Andrew grinning, baring sharp, bloodied teeth.

Before she can even lunge into his neck, she's dust.

Xander is stood holding a stake in his hand looking all tall and heroic

*Andrew Fantasy* Xander reaches his hand out and lifts Andrew to his feet. Andrew wraps his arms around Xanders neck as Xander lifts him up and carries him off*

"Andrew get up" commands Xander. Andrew scrambles at his feet trying to stand with his skates still on, Xander takes pity on the fumbling idiot and lends a hand.

"It's really going to happen" Andrew gleefully says to himself

"What?"
"nothing, it's really going to...we're really going to go to the star wars convention"

Xander seems a little unshocked at Andrews odd ways "erm...yeah tickets allow this to happen, what a wacky world it is we live in"

Faith sits DemonDawn down on the chair "You're unscratched, way to go Dawnie!"

DemonDawn smiles at Faith "Just like big sis hey" Faith looks at Dawn questioning the intentions of that comment.

DemonDawn "Who's the girl?"
Thalia looks up from her bag of chips awkwardly.

"Thalia - the pretend Slayer meet Dawn - the wannabe Slayer"

Thalia smiles at DemonDawn welcoming, she recieves no reaction.

"Right, well, i'd best be heading back. College starting tomorrow and all"

Faith nods goodbye as Travis offers to walk Thalia home.

"Bye, Dawn, nice to meet you "

"I'm sure it was" replies DemonDawn clearly cutting into Thalia.

The second Thalia and Travis leave, Faith plonks herself down hard next to DemonDawn
"What bit your ass? You were crazy cold to her, not like you Dawn"

DemonDawn looks curiously to herself "It's Not?"
"I mean, it's ...not, you're right...probably the fever, I'll apologise later"

"How's that holding out?"

"I'm feeling, energised" says DemonDawn, leg clearly in contact with Faiths.

"At least one of us does, I'm hittin' the sack, I feel completely exhausted and kinda groggy" says Faith stretching as she glides across the matted blue carpet.

"Hey, you'd best not have given me all your diseases, I'll be useless"

as Faith exits DemonDawn grins to herself menacingly.

It's early morning, light has barely broken, yet Thalia is walking through the graveyard armed.

She's been tipped off that a demon has been lurking there last night and would be looking for places to nest.

Thalia takes note of an ambulance arriving by a graveside. She heads over to the paramedics in a rush of concern.

"Aren't you guys suppossed to collect them before they die?" asks Thalia lightly.

"We did...just" replies the paramedic as the girl is pulled into the ambulance. Thalia looks up to see that it's Dawn.

"I know her" she lets out under her breath.

"Would you like to come to the hospital?"

Faith lays in her bed, her leapord print bed spread is flung to her side as she lays in small grey top and black hot pants. She has a poster of Cibo Matto hanging by her bed head. Above her bed there is a red tinted mirror.

To the left is a small table with all the essentials. Red lipstick, stakes, batteries, a phone and an alarm clock reading '7.30a.m' the phone begins ringing in Faiths ear.

Startled she awakes to see DemonDawn at the foot of the bed.

"Creepy little girl Dawn"

DemonDawn has no expression in her face or voice "You gonna get that?"

"Hello?"

*Faith, get out of there and get to the hospital now*

"What? Why?"

*I'm with Dawn*

"No, you're not I am"

*No, really you're not, just trust me and don't bring whatevers with you*

Both hang up at the same time, Faith frowns to herself

"It's too early for this crap"

"What's up? What are you that whoever that was is not?" asks DemonDawn

"What?...oh. I'm the slayer and Thalia's not so i should be the one that...goes and gets that thing she's with"

"Can I go?"

"What?...erm, No, you stay here"

Dawn is sat up in the bed, her face is bruised and covered in scratches. Thalia walks in nervously and sits next to her on a small green chair.

"Thanks for this...erm..."

"It's Thalia"

"Thalia, right, thanks" she looks at her arm, al bandages, then looks around the small hospital room painted in a faded beige with MDF covered doors and next to nothing in the way or colour.

"Do I know you? Hey did you run into me kinda hard last week?"

"That'd be me, sorry"

"The last time i was in a hospital...it was to get the results of my Mothers autopsy. Got attacked by a Vampire as well...not a fun day"

"I can imagine"

"Can you?"

"I grew up with my Uncle since i was eight. My parents were...they've gone"

Dawn looks up with a sympathetic smile, the two exchange a moment which is broken when Faith charges through the door.

"What the hells going on?" she demands an answer with her question.

The curtains of Faiths apartment are torn to shreds, tables turned over, blood up the walls. DemonFaith walks out of the apartment smiling to herself with a look of content across her face.

Travis is bundled in the corner bloodied and wounded.

"Where's Faith gone?" asks Thalia returning from the bathroom and sitting carefully next to Dawn.

"She's gone to Dolly's to get some information on this Shapeshifter thing"

Dolly is cleaning up the cafe kitchen as "No Doubt - Different People" plays on the stereo. Responding to a crash Dolly heads out to the seating area with a mop at arms.

"If i were a demon, you'd be dead by now. What you gonna do clean me to death?"

"Faith? Oh thank goodness. How's your friend did she live?"

She walks around past Dolly

"Yeah she lived, but i'd thank you to stop spreading rumours about me to Faith"

It Dawns across Dolly that, whilst Dawn may have lived, so did the Shapeshifter. She attempts to run for the door but DemonFaith grabs her back and pulls out a large knife as Dolly screams, DemonFaith lunges it deep into her back.

Chairs, plates, tables are all smashed across the diner as Dolly lays in a puddle of blood, Faith arrives.

She immediately runs over to Dolly, holding her in her arms.

Dolly's eyes spring open "Took your time girl...is that other you still around?"

"What?"

"Faith, you know what's coming don't you? You know you're out there somewhere? She's being you, living you"

Back at the hospital Dawn and Thalia are in awe with DemonFaiths story of how she killed 'the shapeshifter'.

Thalia says her goodbyes and tells Faith to update her on Dawns recovery.

"Nice meeting, you Dawn and not DemonBitchDawn"

Faith gives Thalia an unnoticed sinisterly harsh glare as she leaves.

"So, D, you think you're gonna make it?"

Faith rushes into her apartment for weapons and finds Travis trying to reach for the phone.

"Get away from me Demon"

"Oh god, Trav, it's me, it's Faith"

"I don't believe you" he weakly forces the words out as blood spills from his lips.

Thalia is wondering around the hospital unable to find the exit

"Bloody maze in here"

"nice accent" says a Male nurse "You English?"

"London" replies Thalia doing 'that' flirty thing with her eyes.

"Nice,you visiting family here?"

"No, I like to travel. Actually, I'll be starting Boston college tomorrow, we were meant to start today but there was some flood thing going on"

"Wait, starting? You starting late?"

"Only a day"

"You're a freshman? You're eighteen?"

"erm...yes, thats right, what is this Spanish Inqisition?"

"Ha, yeah, Spanish...listen...I gotta...bye" says the nurse awkwardly jetting off.

"God, what am i repelent?"

"You still here? I know there's Hot doctors, but you're like wicked stalkerish" asks DemonFaith walking to the vending machines

"Can't find the exit" she replies.

"It's right down there, just walk till you find the door and you'll be five by five"

"I'll be what?"

"The exits down there" she says rather bluntly

"and the exit is where you're going to now"

DemonFaith and Thalia spin round to see Faith holding up a bloodied Travis.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commercial Break
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This can't be good, which ones the real..." Before Thalia can finish the sentence DemonFaith pulls out a knife and holds Thalia close to her, knife against the throat.

"Okay, so i'm guessing it's not you then"

"Let her go" Faith angrily speaks through her teeth as a nurse takes Travis from her.

"I don't know what you want but I know you're not here for her. Now let her go"

"Hmm, you know what 'Faith' i was thinking about doing that then I decided, why would I?"

DemonFaith laughs to herself as the hurls Thalia over the reception desk and morphs into Faiths Mother.

Faith stands back wide eyes as the demon begins flouncing around bantering on about her life "You ruined mine of course, I mean after you were born how was i ever going to keep a man with a runt like you in the litter?"

"All those Uncles? Why did you think you never had a Father to go with them?"

"The way I did things was briliant you know?" she hisses wickedly in her speech

"All i had to do was get in a few bar fights and start arguments when i was drunk and what do you know? You started hating him and loving me, which is why it became so much easier to get to you"

Coming back from her momentary trance Faith sees Dawn slowly leaving her room.

"Okay, we've done this the Buffy way...Now...we're gonna do this the real way" smiles Faith arching an eyebrow and charging at the beast.

Before she can reach her she is stopped in her tracks as the Demon tears the water cooler from the wall and hurls it into Faiths stomach sending her crashing down to the floor with a heavy thud.

Faith takes a moment to gather herself as dozens of onlookers begin to emerge, Dawn heads to Thalias side to observe whats going on as the Demon, like a flash of light moves across the way into Dawns path.

"Going somewhere little girl" morphing into Joyce the demon begins to taunt Dawn.

"You wish i'd come after you for no reason dont you? Like you were some innocent by stander well you're not"

"You are a stain, you're destruction, you are pure evil, both of you and i am here to put an end to your work"

"You think me, or Buffy, or Tara, Spike, Willow your Father...you think any of them wanted you around. You should've fallen off that tower that night. If you had none of us would be in this ridiculous mess now would we?"

the usually strong Dawn is weakening taking this on board emotionally as she falls back against the wall and begins to slide down it as if giving herself into it all.

"You are nothing"

"She is MY responsibility, No step the hell away for her or I am about to do some serious mincing on your ass"

The demon spins to Faith, this time putting on it's true form as all the by standers watch on screaming, some fainting as the thing changed into it's own skin.

It stood around six and half feet tall, broad spiney shoulders. It's skin was thick and smooth and the colour of pond water. Four sets of teeth surrounded it's mouth as it's bright pink eyes beamed over to Faith, lighting up like a child seeing snow for the first time.

Although slightly startled by the new appearance of this thing Faith had no hesitation in making with the fights, despite a cracked rip and a very sore everything else in her body.

Starting in with three repeated kicks to the left of the monster, Faith makes her next move as a swift punch, which is quickly blocked and repeated on her.

Observing from the side Thalia realises that every move Faith makes is repeated on her twice as hard and having less effect on the Demon.

Faith is thrown to Thalias feet "Man this guys strong"

"No, Faith you're weak"

"I am Not weak" Faith says in bitter defense.

"The girls right you know" Faith looks up at the demon, the look in her eyes clearly asking questions

"You slayers, all with the instince, none with the I.Q...don't you get it. I'm like cryptonite to anything with power...why do you think your little Sister has been feeling so sick lately"

Dawn looks shocked and confused, she seems to miss the comment on being Faiths Sister and focus on the headline "I'm still the key"

"Well, three cheers for the brain child"

the Demon grabs Faith by the neck and holds her up against the wall, draining her powers and strength slowly as he morphs into Kakistos and then the Mayor.

"Firecracker? How you been, obviously better than me, since you let me die. Look at you, you're all dirty...and you know what they say" the demon changes into Caleb.

"Dirty Dirty Girls, Souless whores with no reason to live" he throws her into a wall, crashing her through it.

Faiths lays between two walls, bloodied and unconcious, small pieces of debri surround her, wires hang loose from the wall.

the Demon takes a moment to admire his handy work then turns his attentions to Dawn smiling.

Out of nowhere he falls to the ground, Thalia is stood behind him holding a fire exstinguisher "Try draining me" she says boldly.

Before he can stand she smacks him again, twice.

"You think i'm gonna go four years without friends and then let you kill them within two days of me meeting them?"

"What you think i'm some kind of idiot"

All the while she is continuously bashing him across the skull, neck and collar with the exstinguisher not giving him a second, a chance, a breath to react with.

With one more blow something cracks and the demon howls in pain graspins its neck whimpering.

Thalia leans over the demon straddling it "You hear that crack?" she asks forcefully

"If you dont want a much louder one to be the last thing you ever hear then I fully recommend you tell me who the hell sent you here and why" a certain amount of rage is bleeding through Thalias words as fire flickers in her eyes.

"Never"

Thalia grabs the demons collar and pushes hard down on the broken bone "Do it" she commands,all sincerity in her agression.

"The Elders, the elders sent me, they want them gone. The Slayer, The Key all the girls. They've been doing it for years"

Thalia is taken back but keeps face.

"Doing what?"

the demon stays silent but a howl as Thalia pushes more "doing what?!!"

"Girls, they hire girls, telling them they're like Slayers, so that they can get them killed. Thier former master died at the hands of a slayer, Caleb, the mighty"

Dawns eyes widen at hearing this as do a now concious Faiths.

Thalia continues to sit in shock, still on the demon she slowly stands and leans against the wall, he world around her blurs to nothing.

The Demon takes the opportunity that there's nobody to attack him and leaps up heading for Dawn, only to die in his first step as Faith & Thalia push a vending maching on top of him, crushing his head.

Thalia looks down at the body, lost and confused before running off into the night. Unfollowed an alone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMMERCIAL BREAK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Boxes are being carried out to a small rusty red van as Andrew sits on the sofa reading an comicbook as the news plays in the background.

**eadlines today. A young woman was found dead in her home last night with both her sides split open. Police believe this to be the work of Boyfriend, John Gregory, who is currently in for questioning...he claims that this occured whilst she was laughing at a friends joke. Proffessionals believe this man to be clinicall insane'**

"Say, you fancy helping with any of your stuff" says a straining Xander.

"But...it's X-Men..." replies Andrew almost like a spoilt child.

"Okay, it's bad enough that we have to drive to Boston just because you think we might be on a demon plane..."

Andrew looks up feeling embarrassed

"so the least you can do is help with your stuff"

"It's issue #1 Xander!!" replies Andrew as if XAnder is some crazy talking idiot.

"Really" Xander is excited by this, but realises straight away how not cool he's being.

"I don't care if it's issue #122, help me or walk"

Faith & Dawn are sat opposite eachother on the sofa. Both are cross legged and bandages up, the news playing in Xanders is also playin there.

"Faith?"

"What's up?"

"Do you really have nothing to live for?"

Faith takes a moment to think deep inside herself before realising she does

"I got you"

Dawn smiles, both feel awkward after a moment of closeness.

"So, you're still the key. You scared?" asks Faith making it a joke but actually showing concern with it.

"I think I can handle it this time you know"

"Glad to hear it, I mean, I'm sure it's nothing that we cant handle, these Elders guys they can't even do thier own work, they need to set girls up to die for them because they cant kill them"

"You think she's okay?" asks Dawn in all honesty

"She probably needs some down time she'll be okay...she's..."

Faith is cut off as Dawn buts in

"Five by Five?" Dawn smiles as Faith reacts with happiness and shock

"Yeah, i think you got it, D"

The town clock shows that it's midnight. Thalia is working alone down a dark street.

her hands are in her pocket, the normally groomed girl has her hair flung back with an alice band and has very little in the sense of make-up and accessories.

She stares in a shop window looking at some shoes "What a girl wants"

as she turns a man is stood directly in her path.

"Sorry" she says following a gasp."Didn't see you there"

Thalis continues to walk on as she hears a scrappling, she turns and the man is gone.

following the noise Thalia is about to turn the corner as a large black claw tears through the air and grabs her by the neck pulling her into the alley.

"Xander what are you doing here?" asks Dawn excitedly.
"Dawn you're still too ill to come patrolling"
"Have you seen Thalia since the hospital?"
"What happened to her?" "She's been cut open"
"The names Garrison, and you are...?"
"Whatever Faith, I'm not sticking around to see what these guys can do"
"Faith pick up"
"Dawn, what are you doing?"
