"Son of a..." Faith is cut off as she crashes to the ground, long strands of dark brown hair with sandy coloured streaks flare around her.
Taking a moment to gather herself she wipes her finger across her mouth and tastes blood "We have a lip liner situation..." noticing a tear in her jacket she becomes even less amused "...and you will be paying for that i take it?"
Charging back into the fight Faith flys through the air kicking the demon to the ground "I take Visa, American express but no personal cheques..." cut off again Faith is tackled to the ground.
"Hey, Bar man we gonna get our drinks any time soon?" growls a rather sizy demon at Andrew, who is nervously stumbling around the back of a bar "erm...Sorry, what was it you wanted?" "Martini"
Andrew hectically rushes around trying to gather everyones orders as they lear at him to hurry up, he takes a stool and jumps onto it
"Shut...up!!" the place falls silent as several pairs, sets and single eyes, red, yellows, greens, blacks, set cold onto him.
He takes a small throat clear and begins "I am trying really hard and you aren't helping..."
"...Yourself by damaging my clothes" continues Faith as three of the demons are coming at her at once from all sides
"This aint sittin' to pretty" murmurs Faith as she is sent flying into a wall via the air.
She is laying rather crumpled on the floor in some agony, barely to her feet one of the demons charges at her bowling her over again.
Using all her strength Faith springs her legs against his chest as he glides seven feet into the air and crashes down on a car bonnet as the alarm sounds.
"One down..." she chirps to herself preparing to go back into the fight as one of them falls to the ground with an axe set deep in it's back.
"Two" speaks a rather over dressed Thalia bluntly.
The two girls launch at the demon working in perfect unison bashing him around between them, Thalia kicks him into Faith who snaps his arm as Thalia sticks a dagger into his back, twisting it.
Faith hurls the demon to one side as Thalia begins walking off
"Don't mention it" booms Thalia as she begins walking off
"I Didn't, but thanks" Faith whispers huskily and confused
"I said don't mention it" Thalia calls back, throwing the bloody dagger to the ground and walking off into the dark.

"The girl has issues" Faith calls out from the bathroom.
"Don't we all?" Dawn replies rather buried in her magazine and not at all interested in Faiths point of view.
"Yeah well unless shes been involved in a near annual apocalypse every year since she was fifteen, she doesn't have rights" Faith calls out again.
Dawn places her magazine down in her lap and looks to herself deep in thought
"You think we should kill her?" Dawn asks rather quirky.
"No, not yet anyway" Faith lets out as she walks from the bathroom towel drying her hair.
stepping to the other side of the room Faith's towel falls to her ankles Dawn covers her eyes in shock.
"Faith..." Faith spins round confused
"Yeah Dawn, you lived with 20 girls and never saw the stuff you already got"
Faith laughs it off
"Seriously Faith..." Dawn starts shyly "We can't all put it out there like you do"
Faith grabs the towel and wraps it around her "What the hell does that mean?"
Dawn realises her words and doesn't react "I mean...well yeah thats what I mean"
Faith has rage spilling from her eyes as she closes in on Dawn "You calling me some sort of slut, cause I'm not, I'm not easy!" Faith growls defensively.
Dawn is clearly shook up as Faith backs off calming down "Whatever, you seen Xandrew today?" asks Faith still effected by the comment.
Dawn arches her brow avoiding eye contact with Faith "Stag Night...anyways don't you mean Gandrew?"
Faith looks up confused as she tears the brush through her hair "Gandrew? is that some middle eastern country?"
Dawn looks up unamused "Garrison and Andrew, the movey things guiy he met at the bar, they're like...bosom buddies"
Andrew is bundled in the corner of the bar at the stag night as Garrison enters looking for him, Andrew is shaken in the corner as he rushes over to him.
"What's wrong? Did...did someone hurt you?" Garrison thrases out practically iluminated with concern.
"So Many drinks..." Andrew replies nervously "They want so many drinks" Garrison smiles sympathetically at Andrew "From a cue" Garrison yells at the top of his lungs ignored.
Not taking liking to the ignorance he stares into the crowd and seperates them, things fall quiet as they stare at him, stood on the bar confidently "Form - a -cue or don't get served"
the demons line up as Garrison jumps down and pulls Andrew up "I got your back" he says winking at Andrew.
"What'll it be?" he asks to one of the demons "Beer" Garrison looks at them "Mendaras Demon?...I.D" the Demon doesn't look amused, Garrison points out the list of demon breeds and ages
"Gotta be at least 1,200, you don't look a day over 750"
"How can you not see it with them? Andrew was practically humping his leg as soon as he took a breath...and Gandrew, sounds more like a disease" pipes Dawn
"I just didn't see it I guess" Faith says uncaring
"Right, so i gotta be all interested in your issues with Thalia doing better than you in a fight, but you can't even pretend to listen to me?" Dawn sighs rather pissed.
"What? She did not better me, you're so HER Sister"
"Is the Buffy thing gonna be used everytime you don't get your own way?" Dawn hisses throwing her bag over her shoulder and heading for the door.
"only everytime you act like a precocious..." Faith stops before she takes things too far
Dawn spins on her feet "Brat? Yeah, because I'm the one with the only child tude Faith" Dawn continues to the door "Hold your breath till i'm ready to talk to you"
Dawn slams the door shut on her way out, Faith motions towards the door but stops in her tracks.
She grabs a pile of plates from the side and hurls them at the wall.
on the otherside of the door, Dawn jumps at the noise before taking a guilty breath and walking on.
Xander is suited up to the bones, stood holding a clipboard at the bottom of a rather large building construction hurling orders in all directions as Faith slowly walks up behind him using her hand to shield her eyes from the sun.
"Harris" Faith nods at him
"erm...Fill in the blank" Xander replies realising he has no knowledge of Faiths last name.
"What?" Faith responds confused.
"I've known you on and off for the last, what, Seven years or so? but no surname"
"Just...plain Faith works by me" she says defensively
"Right, Faith...so..." Xander begins walking on "what brings 'Faith' to this neck of the woods?"
"well...Xander...Faith...I, am here to see you"
"What did I...is this about the underwear cause it was just..."
Faith interupts chomping hard on her gum "I don't own underwear, probably Demon Childs"
"Dem...Dawns?! eugh and what was her underwear doing in your laundry?" Xander questions scared.
"She showers and doesn't take her things home, it's like having a..."
"Sister?" Xander puts in with sincerity
Faith tries to push the subject elsewhere
"Well, Mr. Harris aren't we looking all pre-sexy stubble Wesley today"
"Is that an insult or...cause Wesley's a good looking man"
Faith throws a smirk and a concerned look "Did i miss the Gay bomb?"
"Huh?" replies Xander wrapped up in his work
"Nothing, it's just..."
"Faith, it's nice that you came to see me and stuff and not to...hurt me, but I've really got a lot to do, now that I have to plan stuff and not just build it. theres a degree of what little brain power I have"
"Right, I'll go...yeah" Faith begins to walk off dragging her feet through the dust
"Why not go see Dawn?!" calls Xander, having paid little to no attention
Faith looks to herself annoyed as she blows a bubble.
Things are about to get less hectic at the bar when Faith enters, suddenly the bar clears "Don't mind me, just hanging out" Faith jokes as the demons rush out of the door.
Faith looks offended, yet pleased at the same time. Andrew looks pissed off.
"Thanks alot Faith!" Andrew whines gathering glasses.
"What did I do?" she begs propping herself on a stool and leaning across the bar.
"Yeah, because Demons like, totally love a Slayer at thier stag night"
"Geez, lighten up Gandrew...Xandr...Andrew. Lighten up Andrew" (emphasis_ANDrew)
He looks up unamused "I know you have superpowers, but unless you have super unannoying make up for the business you lost me powers, then you should go bug someone else"
Faith looks hurt and pissed, yet shocked at the fiesty reaction "Who's not biting your ass?!"
"Whatever...go bug Dawn" Andrew says, gazing at the floor as he scampers into the kitchen.
Dawn is rushing down the corridor at college, she bursts into her room and hurls her bag onto her bed, before she can even sit down there's a knock at the door.
Swining it open Dawn pauses at the sight, her teacher is stood there "Here's your new room mate, enjoy" thje teacher shoves Thalia through the door then walks away.
The two girls stand staring awkwardly fiddling with thier hands "So, where'd your last roomie go?"
"Eaten...I think" Dawn says shyly, yet not seeming phased by the thought of her recently digested room mate.
"Nice" Thalia throws her bag on the floor then walks out the door, slamming it behind her.
Dawn sits, nervously for a minute then grins to herself "Faith is gonna love this!!"
She throws herself to the phone and begins to dial, grinning all the way before placing the phone down as her face falls long "But, Faith and I aren't talking"
Grabbing her dressing gown from the side of the desk she releases her hair from a high pony and walks into the shower room.
Faith is arrives at Dawns door and walks away three times before building up the courage to knock, but there's no reply.
She begins to talk through the door "Dawn, listen...I'm...you know...about earlier, I didn't mean to..."
Faiths words fade to silence as Thalia approaches the door "Excuse me" Thalia grunts at Faith pushing past her and going through the door.
"What are you doing here?" Faith demans placing her foot in the door.
"I live here now, since today, we're room mates" Thalia smirks at Faith.
"Right, is Dawn there?" Faith asks curiously
"Far as I know..." Thalia grins before slamming the door in her face.
Faith stands gritting her teeth, steaming at the thought that Dawn left her apartment and went for Thalia after she knew how she felt about her, she punches the wall and storms off.
"Who was you talking to?" Dawn asks, towel drying her hair in a similar manor to Faith.
"Just some loser wanted to borrow a book" Thalia smiles from behind her eyes.
-----------------------------------
COMMERCIAL BREAK
-----------------------------------
At once last try to find something to do in this rather dead day, Faith calls Travis, seeing as she knows not where he lives.
"Faith, if you're that bored, get a job" he calls down the phone, refusing her company.
"A Job? this is me you know that right?"
"Faith, you calling me totally ruins the mystery of me randomly appearing when you're out alone at night"
"It's to L.A don't do it anymore, it's tired and you dont own a leather duster"
"Faith...get-a-job" he hangs up.
Faith thinks to herself 'Job? where to begin'
*JIll Sobule - Supermodel plays over montage*
Faith is waitressing at Dolly's much like Buffy in 'Anne' an old man grabs her ass, she turns and smiles at him before grabbing him and throwing him across the diner. Dolly points Faith to the door.
Faith is assisting with clothes store at the mall as a woman approaches her and Faith shakes her head and calls the woman fat. Faith is pointed to the door.
Faith is working in a record store, there's a large number of people cueing as she dances behind the counter with headphones on ignoring them. Shown the door.
Faith is scouted by a Modeling agency, she is asked to be more feminine infront of the cameras, she flashes her breasts at them "Feminine enough" She is shown the door.(end of song)
"This is my last hope" Faith says to herself scared "I'm selling my soul" Faith looks up at the rather large building and begins walking up the stairs to the 'Boston Public Library'
Looking around intrigued Faith is acting as though she's allergic to the place, she wipes her hands across the counter, gathering enough dust that you'd believe a Vampire disco caught fire in there.
"Dump" Faith says to herself as a small old lady pops up from behind her "Can I help you, Miss?"
"I'm here for the job in the Boston Bay Weekly" Faith says unenthusiatically winding gum around her finger, the old lady looks over her glasses "You wish to work at the dump?"
An hour later the old Woman is showing Faith around the library, Faith is taking nothing in at all. Distracted at someone catching her eye Faith "Yeah, Yeah I get it, books good...noise bad" at the woman and sneaks up to the person she's clapped eyes on.
Faith grabs the tiny waisted woman as she jumps around squealing "Hey you"
The girl adjusts her long mousy hair and pushes her glasses up her nose before catching on and grinning like a Cheshire cat, she throws her arms round Faith and squeezes her tightly.
"Fred, smile anymore and your face will rip" Faith jokes moving her away
"I'm sorry, it's just, what y'all doing here?"
"Home sweet home, is what me all is doing here"
"You live here now? You're so lucky, I love this place, but..."
Fred leans in to speak to Faith "What you doing in a library, is there a demon in here?"
Faith smiles back at Fred "I work here"
Fred is flabberghasted by the revelation and takes a few deep breaths "You...You work here, in the library? Faith in the ...with library and the working...Oh my Gawd!"
"Yeah, things change hey, so what brings you to this neck of the woods?"
"Well, since Gunn...and Angel Investigations finished, I...I went back to the teaching game an...There's also a really cute guy here" Fred says shyly to Faith.
"How is Gunn? and...everyone..."
"Gunn, he's fine...he's coping real good since...he's getting used to the chair"
"...and the others?"
"Oh, Connor is doing...well we don't know, he's gone on another of his wild trips again. Angel's doing fine, he's got a tan alot and Wesley's...Wesley"
"Hey thinking about it, We have a friend of Gunns here, Travis!"
Fred seems confused at this "Gunn doesn't have a friend name Tr.."
She's ignored by Faith as a 'not-too-hard-to-look-at' man approaches and wraps his arms around Freds waist
"Daniel, stop it, not in the library"
He smiles and unwraps himself from Fred
"Hey No skin" says Faith raising her hands
"Hey...I'm Daniel, Freds friend, I work here" He reaches out his hand to shake Faiths.
"You work here? So Do I...just started, it's kinda lame, the old lady at reception"
"Faith..." Fred tries to stop her talking
"Totally witch, she's like wicked evil and..."
"Faith, she's his Mother" Fred says embarrassed for Faith and herself
"Oh..."
Andrew and Garrison are clearing up the bar
"Long night huh?" Garrison gladly says to Andrew as he sweeps up the floor.
"Yeah, lot's of money though which is good, cause I can buy the new limited edition Spider man figurines" Andrew gushes gleefully.
Garrison looks up and laughs at him smiling cheekily, Andrew catches his eye and tries to back up "...for my little brother, cause you know, sad children toys"
"Hey,it's cool, I like that you like that stuff...you're different, it's cute"
Andrew is rather taken by this comment "Cute like Gizmo before the Gremlins come or Cute like Ross thought Rachel was before friends jumped the shark?"
Garrison can tell Andrew is uncomfortable with his forwardness "Whichever you like to think of it as" he smiles and contines sweeping.
Andrew adjust his apron "I'm just going to go...and check he stock room" Andrew rushes out of the bar holding his apron down.
Xander is on his way to Faiths as he is cut off by Travis who steps out from an alley, Xander screams like a girl.
"Almost a decade of fighting demons and i still scream like a girl"
"You looking for Faith?" Travis says bluntly.
"Yeah, why do you know where she is?" Xander asks suspiciously
"She's working...Library"
"Is that like L.A humour or something?"
"No, really...she's working"
Xander is somewhat shocked at this prospect of Faith working at all, let alone in a Library with the requirement to be less than noisy "Well, that blows my night out"
"Wanted to kill something huh?" Travis nos sympathetically.
"Well, it has been a stressful day at the office"
"Wanna go blow up a demon strip joint?" asks Travis
"Why not...finally Male friends!!!" Xander raises his hand motioning as if to the lord.
"You never had guy friends?"
"Well, kinda..." Xander begins as he walks off
"But they were either secret military Mamas boys, Werewolves that didn't like me for taking thier lesbian lovers or...Andrew"
Dawn is sat cross legged on her floor, candles around her, incense burning, sounds of the forest on the CD play.
"This yoga crap is...crap" she says standing up and blowing out the candles as the door knocks.
She opens it to find Andrew standing nervously.
Ten minutes later...
"So you gonna tell me or are you just gonna walk a hole into my carpet?" asks Dawn as Andrew paces back and forth across the floor, biting his nails.
"Dawn, you met Garrison right?" Andrew says flinging himself across Dawns bed and rubbing his temples
"Yeah, he's cute" Dawn says enthusiastically as she paints her nails.
"What's flirting?" Andrew asks, little squeaks breaking into his voice
"um...telling them you like stuff they do but you dont, telling them they're cute...I dunno"
"Oh God!" Andrew begins to panic
Dawn is growing concerned, she places her hands on Andrews shoulders and pushes down "Calm...what's wrong?"
"Dawn...I have to tell you something and it's really big and will really shock you"
"Right...okay"
"Really, really, shock you" Andrew can barely stand he's so nervous
"I'm not easily shockable, you know, you do know right...my life?"
"Right..." Andrews holds Dawns hands in his "I don't know how to say this, just don't get upset"
"I'd find that easier if you got to the point" Dawn is growing scared of what it might be
"I know you've always had a crush on me" Andrew begins
"erm...What?! When did this happen" Dawn squeals releasing her hands from his
"But you have to move on Dawnie, I think...I think I'm possibly, definately gay"
Dawns eyes widen and she looks in shock before she releases a heavy breath and relaxed
"...right? So, what's this news?" Dawn asks baffled.
"That was it" Andrew says quietly
"Did we not know that one already? Haven't you always been gay? Weren't you...like in love with Warren?" Dawn asks innocently
Andrew looks offended that everyone always thought he was gay and heads to leave
"Sorry, I just thought...I dunno...So you like Garrison?" Dawn says trying to save herself.
Andrew nods really shyly "Kinda, lots" Dawn grins from ear to ear "Project" she screams jumping up and down clapping.
"Was it that obvious?" asks Andrew, Dawn calms down and looks at him seriously with sympathy.
Faith is sipping Coffee with Fred in Dolly's diner
"You're not here to throw people are you Faith?" asks Dolly
"No, just for a fourth cup of Cofee...but thanks for asking...again"
Fred laughs at Faith "tried the waitressing huh?"
Faith "Not a job i'll be doing again soon"
Travis and Xander walk into the seedy demon joint, it's dark, there's green strobe lights and a large mirror ball, dozens of demons are sat around with piles of dollar bills
"You sure we can handle this?" asks Xander nervously
"Maybe" Travis says untouched by the number of demons.
THe music begins and three of the demon girls come out, all are of pretty human structure with the exception of some facial bumps and a few scales.
"Maybe we could stay for just one dance...to check thier..." Xander starts
"Check thier agility in fighting? Good Idea" finishes an open mouthed Travis as the two rush to the front and plod themselves keenly on the front table.
"Faith, you need to get over to the Library now" Dolly says in a panic.
"What? I've just done six hours there?!" Faith protests
Fred and Faith arrive outside the library and torches at hand, they begin to examine the alley down the side of it.
Fred shines a torch across the way "Faith, over here" Faith runs over to Fred, there's a heavily mutilated body, most organs removed and scattered around it.
"What done this? What ripped them open like that?" asks Fred
"I don't think they were ripped open..." Faith looks closer
"Something ripped it's way out of there"
-----------------------------------------------
COMMERCIAL BREAK
-----------------------------------------------
Dawn is pulling Andrew along the road by his wrists.
"Dawn, I don't wanna...please...No"
"Andrew move" Dawn squeals pulling as hard as she can
"No" he is persistant in his resistance
"Fine..." she lets go and he falls backwards "whatever"
She begins to walk off
"Ow, my butt" Andrew moans as he stands up
"Andrew, do you want to tell him what you feel or not?"
"Yes..."
"Well, what are you waiting for? Huh?" Dawn whines at him
"Yes..." Andrew nods "I...we should go now"
"What?" Dawn raises her hand to her ear
"Yes...Dawn Sir, right now we shall go" Andrew salutes Dawn, she salutes back as they march off to bar.
Crash as the door to the library is broken off it's hinges
"Faith...I have the keys" Fred waves them in Faiths face.
"Which is a good thing to announce right now Winnie"
"It's Fred..." she starts nervously receiving an 'i dont care' look
"Or...Winnie works as well"
the two venture through the library with a torch, unable to switch on the lights in fear of attracting even more attention.
"Fred, where are the demon books" Faith 'whispers' of course Faiths whispering is known to the human as Hollering.
"You work here Faith!" Fred states, Faith looks at her blankly and shrugs
rolling her eyes Fred indicates a stair case "Up there"
As the hours pass the two have found themselves practically hidden by bundles of books "Hallelujah" screeches Fred.
"Tell me you found something and aren't just delirious with boredom"
"No, I...I found something alright. It's a Garfebia (gare - fee - bee - a) demon, they have no physical form...they're like a spirit and they move from body to body"
"So, do they look like anything or...like smokey illusion?"
"hey have a host...one body they return to before each fresh kill...oh..."
"Oh, what?"
"It says that the host isn't killable, it dissolves when you strike it"
Faith begins moving the books to one side "It's all good, we'll do one of them solidify spell things"
"Anyways, killing it isn't our top priority right now, finding it and how many it's killed comes first"
The two girls begins to clear up and head for the stairs as Fred's friend Daniel appears "What are you girls doing here?"
"Is it wrong that i find this kinda..hot" asks Xander unable to move his eyes from the strippers.
"I'm right there with you buddy"
Dawn throws Andrew through the door and he falls at Garrisons feet
"I wondered why you took so long checking the stock" smiles Garrison
"Looks like i swept you off your feet after all" he winks
Andrew pulls himself up, dustin off as Dawn grins menacingly.
"Andrew has something he'd like to talk to you about"
"We were just...." starts Fred
"Preparing for her lecture tomorrow" Faith says pulling Fred away by the arm
"I don't think so" Daniel protests blocking thier path
"Uh oh..." Fred looks to the side suddenly remembering the first time she saw Daniel...she was gazing from her window, he was attacking a young woman when he saw her.
"Coming back to you now is it?" he smirks
"My minds has this really helpful MIB gig going on, you won't remember a thing for at least a couple of days, by which time, you're usually ripe for the swap"
Faith strikes him but he dissolves, she falls forward down the stairs.
"Nice try little girl" he smirks as he grabs Fred by the arm as she screams.
"So, what is it you wanted to tell me?" asks Garrison anxiously
"This could take a while" says Dawn preparing herself a drink
"Let me speed things up" says Garrison flirting
"Good luck, he's like a total..." Dawn stops in astonishment as she turns to see them kissing..."I'm good" she smiles to herself.
"get the hell away from her now" says Faith wiping blood from her head
"What you gonna do? Stake me?" Daniel lets out a wicked cackle.
"I need her...I need this body it's so..."
"Perfect...except the scales" states Xander
"We should probably leave though, I mean, I've kinda spent all my money and..."
Travis looks at his watch "it's nearly 1am...pretty sure Faith's finished work by now"
the two stand and leave, walking backwards so not to miss anything.
"Faith,right?! My Mother warned me about you...she said your body isn't good enough for me to use" snarks Daniel squeezing Fred tighter.
*It can only be killed in someone elses body* remembers Faith as she tries to figure a way to free Fred.
"I'd hardly call Madam South nipples a good judge of figure"
"I know...thats why I killed her"
He raises his hand to Fred neck
"Wait..." yells Faith "Use me, take my body"
Fred shakes her head at Faith violently then bites Daniels hand freeing herself as he reacts punching her across the room.
"You'll do" he tells Faith as he is flooded by a glowing blue light "We gotta fight it out first otherwise it's no fun"
"So I can hit you now?" Faith smiles cracking her knuckles...
"You can indeed. But don't even try to kill me, it'll only make your death slower and more painful"
Faith initiates the fight between the two of them as hurries out of the library.
Daniel grabs Faith by the throat almost instantly and shoves her up against the wall "You think that you're gonna win by beating me to death little girl" Faith boots him across the room "Maybe not...but I don't loose to men"
She boots him in the face before grabbing him and hurling him through the window. Jumping out after him the two are at high levels of combat in the street as he grabs her and smiles "Showtime"
He forces open her mouth as his skin flops in a pile and the demon essence climbs into Faith.
Xander and Travis are walking towards Faiths, laughing about the demon bar as Dawn walks out of the bar, straight into them "Hey"
"Hey Dawnmeister, what are you doing, stumbling out of Andrews bar 3 years early?" asks Xander all Big Brotherish.
"Gandy make out session" replies Dawn
"You've been getting drunk and making out with a Gandy?" asks Xander rather baffled.
"Gandrew...not Gandhi!! He came out to me, he never knew that we all knew he was gay"
"Andrews Gay?!?!?!" Xander releases in shock
"But...we...with the sharing and the swimming and...oh god, did he have a crush on me"
"You only just realised this after...three years" Dawns questions concerned.
Fred comes rushing over all spaghetti legs and arms being waved about
"Hey Crazy Lady" remarks Xander
"Xander, it's Fred! L.A Fred" Xander looks stumped
"Wesley, Gunn and sometimes Willows love interest" replies Dawn
"Oh, Winnie...Hey why are you all...wavy arms and noodle legs?"
Fred holds her chest trying to gather breath "Faith...library"
"I know, I was shocked to, but I didn't go all ...yay about it" starts Xander
"Or you could mean that Faith's in trouble at the library which would make sense being that its...being that the worlds still turning"
The four of them rush to the library where they see Faith stood at the edge of the roof
"Faith, get down from there" calls Travis, a lump in his throat
"Winnie what happened?" Xander begs in desperation
"A demon, it swaps bodies...Faith was fightin' it in there and I guess..."
"It took my body" Faith calls down
*flashback*
*Buffy stabs Faith in the gut, Faith falls down onto the truck*
"Faith don't!!! We'll find another way" Fred screams
"Find another way to what?" Travis roars as he shakes Fred
"There is no otherway Fred!! It's been fun, but i've checked...It can only die in someone elses body, No other way"
"Faith, please...Don't" Dawn steps forward
"Sorry, D...girls gotta do what a girls gotta do" with that Faith throws herself forward as Dawn and Fred scream sheilding thier eyes against Xander.
Faith crashes down onto the roof of a parked car the ceiling crushes down and the glass shatters.
------------------------------------
COMMERCIAL BREAK
------------------------------------
Faith is rushed into the hospital with the others following closely, Andrew and Garrison arrive shortly after as does Thalia.
Dawn called her to say she wouldn't be home, Thalia attempts to comfort Dawn but is pushed away and leaves.
Faith is being operated on, several doctors and nurses are around her as Dawn watches through the window.
She sits back down with Xander, Travis and Andrew as another four doctors sprint past her she jumps up demanding to know what is going on, she's screaming and crying as Xander pulls her in for a hug.
Faith is laying still as Doctors look at eachother with little hope.
Fred is in the toilets at the hospital, Xander walks in ignoring the rules "It's my fault Alexander"
"No, it's not, Faith knew what she was doing" he says comforting her
"But, Dawn...i can't, I've never seen anyone like that" Fred says barely able to shape her words
"It's not that it's Faith, it's anyone. She's lost so much in her life that she feels it's her fault...Her Mom, Tara, her Sister on a near annual basis"
Fred laughs lightly at the last comment
"Knew i could get a smile" Xander says quietly
"What's all this?" referering to the sand and crystals.
"Locator spell...for the demon" Fred replies "the map will trace where it's been in the last 24 hours"
the two of them watch over as the red line traces itself around the paper it stops around a mile from the hospital "Why does it stop there?" asks Xander in a panic.
"That's...where it died" Freds thick Southern accent crackles as she holds back tears.
Xander bursts into the corridor with Fred following closely.
*All By Myself - Jewel* plays over the following scenes
as they arrive the Doctor comes out, holding his clipboard close to his chest.
