How easy it would be…if I wasn’t me…

Mar 07, 2005 01:36

Biting my lip I looked around my dorm room for my new leather jacket, I know I hung it up when I came from class last night. I put it on the back of my desk chair and it should still be there. But it wasn’t ( Read more... )

Finally got myself all spiffied up. Sure a few bruises and bumps here and there, but when didn't I have those? Think I managed to convince most people I was just clumsy but all they'd have to do was take one look at the way I moved and that theory was blown out the window. But hey, it went along with the slayer gig. If giving up the bumps and bruises meant givin' up bein' a slayer? Color me not interested. I loved what I was way too much. Bein' a slayer gave me oppurtunities I never woulda had on my own. Back then I'd just been another loser ( ... )

I don't know how long I was sitting on the bench but when I finally looked up it was dark out. I bit my lip and looked around nervously, a habit I had from Sunnydale was never be out after dark if you could help it. This, me being out here now, was stupid on my part. I realized the more I looked around the stupider I was.

Chewing my bottom lip I started to get up and fix my bag, my intentions were to make a B-line right back to the dorm's. I turned and saw the student I tutor and stopped, I decided to wait for him and hoping he changed his mind because I could really use that money this week.

"Josh, y-you're still h-ere..." I gave him a small nervous smile and looked up at him as he approached me quickly. I started to move back and my legs hit the bench and I gasped when his face shifted. I guess I really wasn't far from Sunnydale after all.

"Hey. Oh sorry, were you busy? Suck it up vamp boy. Well not literally."Startled I turned and looked at the brunette that came up to us, I noticed she had a stake in her hand. Huh? I'm very ( ... )

The vamp lunged at me and I easily side-stepped him with a smirk on my face. Gotta love these fledglings man, they think they're the shit til they come up on a slayer. Then it was just dust in the wind and it was all over and done with. Gotta love the simplicity of it, the rush. Head and heart, don't stop comin' til you see dust. End of story ( ... )

The potion worked like a charm and I sighed slightly, leaving the beaming for another time that the new spell actually worked. Slowly I got to my feet and tried to fix my jacket a bit, I felt like I was a mess but that wasn't my big concern now. I just wanted to thank her and leave. I wanted to run and hide in my dorm. Running seems to be what I do best so why not excel at it ( ... )

Raised an eyebrow as I watched her desperately try and hide inside herself. Shoulders hunched, and eyes trailing towards her shoes. I'd seen that look before, plenty of times. Was she scared of me? After that little magick trick? My guess was she packed a pretty decent punch. Well with that magick crap anyways, I was always more about the literal punching. Still, she just made killin' that vamp way easy. Not that there wasn't a degree of disappointment in not gettin' that one easy thrust in before dust. Loved that feelin ( ... )

How did she know my name? That was the question I wanted to ask her but my tongue wouldn't move. I just stared at her and nodded slightly, trying not to look at her so wide eyed. It was rude.

"F-faith..." Why did that name sound familiar? Faith...Faith...Ohhhh Faith. Willow mentioned something to me about there being another slayer somewhere. "Y-you're a slayer." Duh, stating the obvious. "T-that explains the s-stake and ummm yeah..." I tucked my hair behind my ear and looked at her, crossing my arms back over my chest protectively, and out of habit. "H-how d-do you know who I am?" I have no idea how she'd know me, I mean I'm not somebody that anyone remembers. I'm easily forgettable, least that's what people have told me. I blend in, never stick out. Faith is the definition of stick out. Looks to me like she doesn't mind it ( ... )

Took her long enough to catch up to the conversation. The bully instinct in me was runnin' wild with this girl. I mean, she seemed nice enough but damn! Could she stop fidgeting for like five seconds, or maybe look me in the eye for longer than a split second? Wesley had warned me about her bein' shy but he didn't say she had no social skills. But I also remembered arguing with Wes about my level of finesse. I could do this, make this chick feel comfortable, be nice to her. Mostly because right about now? I was at the end of my rope with the Immortal and I needed all the backup I could get. This chick was as powerful as Wes made her out to be, she'd do the trick ( ... )

magick_goddess March 8 2005, 22:33:15 UTC

She put her stake away and I could tell that she was trying to be nice. From what Willow told me Faith was the opposite of Buffy. That didn't help me much since I really didn't know Buffy at all. I had to remember to put my guard down just a little. Being wound up wasn't going to help me any. I mean so what if she looks like one of the many popular girls that tormented me all through school, even into college. That didn't mean she was just like one of them. Ohhh, I hope not ( ... )

I followed her up to her room, relieved that she at least hadn't turned on her heels and ran away from what I was sayin'. Might sound strange, but the chicks in this town were strange. You risk life and limb to save some little blonde from a blood sucker and do you get a thank you? Fuck no, they scream and cry before gettin' the hell out of dodge. Not like I needed a thank you or anything, but something every once in a while might be nice. Oh well, guessed that was what bein' a slayer was all about. Just doin' it cause you had to, no reward. Least they could do was get me a motorcycle or something ( ... )

I put down my bag next to the bed and toed the few books that were peaking out under the bed before walking over to the edge and sitting down. Putting my hands in my lap I start to nervously fidget with the hem of my shirt, not really sure what my place is. Even though it is my room ( ... )

prodigal_slayer March 9 2005, 22:55:27 UTC

Why was she stuttering so much? How did you cast spells when you couldn't talk right? Not that I was gonna ask, since ya know, I actually did want her help. And frankly? I was willin' to do just about anything I could to smack down the Immortal, even befriend a shy little wallflower like the one sitting across from me ( ... )

sexytarawitch March 9 2005, 23:24:13 UTC

Huh? What, wait. Hold on. I'm what? She's five by what? Magick? The Immortal...who? I'm clearly lost.

Ok, deep breaths. I tucked my leg up and rested my chin on my knee, nervously pulling at my lip and thinking. Actually I was trying to get my head to stop spinning so I can comprehend what she was telling me.

"W-wait..." I swallowed hard and tried to smile back at her. I was just very confused right now. Why and who would want me to do a spell for something this important. "W-who's the Immortal? F-five by five what? I-I'm sorry, it's just, I'm umm very c-confused." I blushed slightly and looked down. "S-sorry...just..." I sighed and rested my chin against my knee again, letting my hair cover my face slightly. "W-what does Mr. Wesley need me to d-o?"

I'd be happy to help but I don't know how much I can help with someone who has enough power and magick to take down a Slayer. I just hoped that whatever they need me to do I didn't mess up.

prodigal_slayer March 11 2005, 00:46:47 UTC

"The Immortal. He's just some....guy. I dunno, Wes can give you the skinny on him if you think it'll help. He's just some badass wannabe who managed to not only be practically unkillable but learned some parlor tricks too. Think it's mostly smoke and mirrors but it's enough to spin my head right around. He's got some shady dealins on the South Shore, mostly trading with vamps and demons. Got some gig where he tosses them a few warm bodies and they give him what he wants. Caught onto his deal a couple months ago and I thought I might take his ass out. Easier said than done....apparently ( ... )

sexytarawitch March 11 2005, 01:05:43 UTC

Thankfully I learned rather quickly, thanks to living with Maranda, how to speak Bostonian...or is it Bostonease...I'm not sure. But I knew what Faith was saying and that was a start. As to what she was saying. I don't know. I don't think I'm advanced or know enough to pull something like that off ( ... )

wickedslayer March 13 2005, 02:37:11 UTC

Quirking an eyebrow slightly I turned around when I felt her warm hand clasp around my arm. Whoa. Just when I thought there was no bark left in this puppy she up and surprised me. Most people who didn't know me, didn't touch me. Ya know, unless I smiled and told 'em that they could ( ... )

magick_goddess March 13 2005, 07:21:43 UTC

Faith looked as amused about research as I did public attention. This was going to be amusing. I just had to suck it up and do whatever I could to make this fly, her and her watcher more or less came to me as their last resourt. I have to at least try ( ... )
