I was right? Well, there's something you didn't expect to hear coming from Faith-y's mouth. Not unless it was...ah, of course. Followed by a smartass remark. One that I was not not counting on. It would have left me suspicious and surprised had she not added that little quip at the end

Omigod! Could she be anymore rude? Here I was giving a damn good act and she wasn't buying it?

No. Instead all she did was yammer about how a Slayer was this and that. Ugh, whatever. I so wasn't in the mood to hear it. Hence why I just suddenly tuned her out. Bet that was another thing she was used to. People ignoring her. Seeing as her opinion didn't matter the least bit to me.

I mean, hello! Who was she to say what a Slayer was and wasn't? What they did and what they were supposed to do. She didn't even show up for training half the time! I was the good Slayer. The perfect one. I was...and still am, the definition of Slayer perfection.

Okay, maybe not anymore, but hey! I was. Anyone of the gang can attest to that whilst they still have their tongues.

Unclenching my tongue from my lips, I snapped it to the roof of my mouth and coughed out a laugh. "No. You're far more stupid. You just know what it's like to play the game. You know how to try and get what you want with using such innocent gestures. Only thing is, I still make it look good, F." Did I sound annoyed? Kay, I really hope not. I mean, a vampire without patience is like a double shot espresso without the double shots!

Lifting my shoulders, I let out another exasperated sigh. Just dealing with Faith gave me a migraine.

Wait, could vampires get tension headaches? Hmm...gotta look into that one.

"Okay, so you wanna fight, or keep on with the mindless banter portion? 'Cos either way, I'm sure as hell to be bored." 'Cos someone, who will remain nameless and wearing leather and not paying much attention to me or even uber slutty Slayer replacement over here, isn't doing his job.

But if I call attention to him, miss overly-obnoxious here will set her eyes on him. Me, she couldn't kill just yet. No need to give her a prime target. Even if he was one she wouldn't be able to kill.

Faith had given me a quick jab to the mouth. I’ve taken my licks during my day and, well, now, but I’ve gotta say - Faith packs a punch. Though it wasn’t as hot as when Buffy would do it. No, she was quite the pistol. I loved pulling her trigger. And I’m sure she loved it when I pulled.

As I lay on the ground, apathetic, I watched as Buffy diverted the brunette slayer’s attention toward her. She wanted part of the twosome. Fine by me. I was always into threesomes.

I watched as Buffy laid her deceitful tears on Faith, trying to lull her into her submission. Faith didn’t budge, knowing what Buffy was trying to do. That was my que to come back into the scene.

Getting up slowly, I began to tread toward Buffy. I looked toward Faith’s way, amused be her toughness. But she was just too fucking dumb. I began clapping for her as she tried to stand her ground. She thought she could take us both on. Idiot.

“ Lovely. You really are amusing, Faith. I mean who would’ve thought that a hopeless slut like you would be chosen to fight the vampires and evils of the earth. Hm, I thought the powers would have better taste than you but hey, whatever floats their boat.”

I stood beside Buffy, my head turning toward the scent of her hair. She smelled so fucking good.

“ See, at least good ol’ Buffy was a load of fun. But you, you’re just a nuisance. And if I can’t have my fun, I turn into a very grumpy vampire.”

[the_golden_girl]

There he was. Standing up to his full height. His stature perfectly frightening. The way he stalked towards us with the grace and agility of a large cat. His feet pressing against the flooring was powerful. I knew just how well he could sprint off of his feet and pounce without warning. How undeniable graceful he could be.

And he was all mine.

My perfect sin. My Angelus.

I never had the strength to admit it to myself until now, just how much he lured me. How much he provoked my curiousity. How he had driven my appetite in ways I couldn't ever imagine. The danger behind the seduction. I wanted to know him when I was mortal. Wanted the taste of danger. Wanted the sense of being wanted. He wasn't easy to tame. Until now. Now he would be my faithful servant...in all ways possible.

His words in taunt to Faith brought an amused smile to my face. My head canting to the side to allow Angelus the room he favored to nuzzle, or to do as he liked. When he sniffed at my hair, I felt a series of goosebumps trail along my skin. Along my arms. It was funny how many human tendencies I still possessed.

It was much more funny to know of the lack of human tendencies I had. That of one being the feeling of guilt.

"Aww. Poor Faith-y. Her feelings are hurt. She knows just how much of a nuisance she is. How much of an easy peice of meat she is. That taking her would be no fun. Not when everyones had a go at her." I flashed frown in mock at the brunette. Shaking my head as if I felt just a tinge of sorrow for her. Which, I so didn't. I enjoyed her pathetic emotions. Knowing now just how incrediable it made Angelus feel to do to me.

Reaching up, I ran the palm of a hand down the side of Angelus' face, turning his head to face mine now. My teeth catching his lower lip in tug. "Mmm, you should have your fun. I certainly don't want a grump to deal with." Growling playfully, I let go ofg his lip with my teeth, only to crush his lips to my own in a bruising and passionate kiss. Eyes closing over, but I was still fixated on all of Faith's moves. Listening to the change in air around us for any sign of movement or action.

[stake_n_skank]

I was paralyzed. I wasn't used to the feeling. No one had ever been able to affect me that much before. Usually I could hide the emotion, no matter how much it welled up inside of me. But not this time. I was frozen by their words. I didn't know what to do.

I wanted to shove my stake through Angelus's tiny, shriveled up heart. He deserved to die. I knew that before any of this happened. Xander and I were the only ones who seemed to see that. It didn't matter before to me that he was Angel instead of Angelus. I knew he was a risk. I knew that he needed to be taken care of because he was sure to go evil again.

And he did.

My anger broke the paralyzation and took over. I was furious. I wished that I could have killed him back before any of this had happened. I was no longer in control of myself.

Being completely aware of how stupid it was, I threw myself at Angelus, stake in hand, ready to dust the bastard.

[angelus_divine]

Mmm, Buffy.

She was so lovely. She stood beside me, my bitch, and I could feel nothing - nothing! No heartbeat, no blood pumping through any vein… no life at all.

The slayer was unofficially dead. And I was her maker.

I watched as my creation began her rein. She started to thicken the insult I had laid upon the poor Faithy-kins.

As we both face the new live slayer, I felt a small cold hand slide onto my face. It pulled me toward the sight of my lover. She looked so yummy. If it were possible to sire her again, I would do it in a heartbeat. No pun intended there. Suddenly I felt her teeth grasping my lower lip. It made me tingle inside… something that not a lot of women could do.

My hands explored her hips, feeling the small curves she possessed.

Fuck Faith, I wanted Buffy right then and there.

As she gave me a hard passionate kiss, I could still sense the hatred boiling within Faith. I could hear the grip of her hand holding the stake. She wanted to tango so badly. But I wasn’t all that intimidated. I was still more focused on my lover.

“ Oh Faith, you know I’m only joking, right? I know that whatever is in-between your pretty little head doesn’t resemble anything near ‘intelligence’, but I hope that you can understand the concept of a joke.”

I shook my head at her, mockingly.

“ No? Don’t know? Hm, how can I make trailer trash understand the meaning? Let’s see here… oh! That’s right! Just look in the mirror. I hope you get dirty jokes because what you’ll see is very very filthy.”

I vamped out and grabbed Buffy by the back of her head, pulling her hair roughly so that she would be looking up at my demonic face. Grinning and showing my jagged teeth, I dived at her mouth and began to give her another hard and passionate kiss. My fangs grazed her lip, which caused a drip of blood to come. I sucked it dry.

Enjoying my little feast on the former slayer, the current suddenly advanced forward.

She wanted to fight but she would only get death.

[the_golden_girl]

Faith's pain hung in the air. Adding on with frustration, cinfusion and simple human turmoil. She had no idea what to do, I guarantee you. She was probably wondering if she should charge at Angelus and I, or to head for the door and bolt her way out.

Oh, how I adored her, for like, half a second right then and there. She was as simple minded as a roach. Granted, they somehow survived for millions of years, but only by sheer luck. Which, Faith would have none of now.

Keeping my body facing Angelus, I looped my arms up and over his shoulders. Grinding my front against his. Hard and slowly. Able to feel all the curves of his own body to my own. And right now, he had one curve that was easily standing up...out, that is. Mmhmm.

And as I did, Angelus went on picking at Faith's already open wounds. Tearing her all over. I wanted to see what the little girl under the bitch in heat exterior looked like. Aside from what Faith's organs looked like, also under it all. But right now, my focus was set on Angelus, who now decided to vamp out and attack my mouth. Pricking my lower lip to latch on and suck. Raising a long drawn out purr from deep inside my stomach, that had once rested in catch of my throat. Pressing up along Angel like a snake, I bit down on my lip again before it had time to heal. Kissing him hard all over and smearing blood onto his own lips. Tongue soon darting out to trail along the silken cold flesh. "Mmm, I taste better than you." Of course that was a tease, and one that I couldn't further taunt Angelus with.

Why?

Because Faith decide to lunge at us. And right in the center of us both.

Angelus and me were better than his counter part and myself. I knew Angelus like a book and he knew me. I side stepped, only to allow Faitht he room to run at Angelus, and as soon as she was close enough, I stepped behind her put my hands around her wrists. Trying to press down on the spot where she would have no choice bu to release her stake, before going about to wrap her own arms around her in a bear hug. "Now Faith...what did your Watcher teach you about...oh, I guess she never taught you much? What, with having died and all. Poor you. You enver listened to my Watcher, so you don't know much. At least not about the Scourge of Europe, hmm?"

[stake_n_skank]

I knew it was stupid. I knew that I was playing right to them. But I lunged at them anyway. And before I knew it, B had me wrapped up, trapped by my own arms. And my stake was on the ground.

I looked around the room. It was just me and them. No one left. They'd had plenty of time to get away. I knew that I couldn't take them alone. But I'd promised Joyce that I would dust Angelus. But damnit, I'd been reckless. But wasn't I always reckless? I was impulsive and reckless, it was my style. It had always worked before.

It was my style. Buffy knows that. She knew that I would go right at them, she just didn't know when. I'd played right into her trap.

"You know B, the whole Watcher angle, not gunna work on me. Remember the whole 'gotta deal and move on' thing? Been there, done that. What else ya got?"

But before she had a chance to respond, I threw my head back, smashing into her face. But it was no use. She didn't let go. Well shit, Faith, that was anticlimactic.

Just then, I dropped. I dropped my weight straight down to the floor, bring B right down with me. I must have caught her by surprise with that move because as she hit the ground next to me, she let go.

I took that opportunity to jump to my feet. I knew I should just motor out of here and catch up to everyone. But I hesitated. I looked Angelus in the eye. I wanted so badly to dust that son of a bitch.

I hesitated. That was a mistake.

[angelus_divine]

Buffy had gotten quicker. Her every move was doubled in power since her re-birth. I had witnessed it but not to its full extent. Soon, however, I would see just how powerful my lover was. Soon, she would realize just how much power she had. But never more powerful than me.

Never.

In the blink of an eye she had Faith in a dominant hold. One Faith could not get out of. Buffy began to speak, teasing the brunette slayer some more just like I had. She was fiery, her true essence released. She reminded me so much of, well... me!

“ Isn’t this just beautiful. I really am loving this slayer bonding crap, I really am. But it’s starting to bore me, so let’s just get on with the whole maim and torture you thing.” I said.

Then Faith had swung her head back, hitting Buffy’s face. Unfazed, Buffy’s hold held strong. That was until Faith had unexpectedly dropped herself along with the blonde slayer. She released which broke Faith free.

And that’s where I saw it.

I spotted it in her eyes. It was fear. It glared back in the same intensity as the immaculate sun. She had mistakenly shown what all slayers were not supposed to show. What lead all slayers to their deaths. In one-tenth of a second that she was released, she could’ve done something. She could’ve bolted out the door or picked up the stake and attacked. There was no room for thinking in that one-tenth of a second that she was free from Buffy’s control and mine. That one-tenth of a second was the balance between whether she wanted to live or die.

She hesitated and messed up dearly.

I, on the other hand, just seemed to stand there. I was surprised at how vulnerable she was. I could’ve done something myself. Hell, I could still do it. But it was too easy. Too easy. That’s when I felt the spark.

Grabbing Faith by the throat, I picked her up and held her high so the tip of her toes just barely grazed the floor. I cocked my head slightly, studying the open book of emotions on her face. Boy she really was inexperienced.

“ Hm, I am at a crossroads, Faith. See, I have you right here in my grasp. I could snap your fucking neck just like that. But now here’s the kicker; I really don’t want to. There’s just this nagging voice in the back of my head that’s telling me not to. Am I losing my edge here? I mean I really really want to torture you right now…”

I let her go, watching as she hit the ground. I crouched down to her level with a smile on my face.

“ But I’ll save that for later. Right now, I want you to sit here and think about what just happened. Your pathetic little life was in my hands. I let you live, Faithy girl. And I'll decide how long you'll stay that way.”

Standing up, I looked over to Buffy and then turned and headed towards the sewer entrance.

“ Come on Buff! Let’s hit the road! We got a lot of people to maim and kill.”

I was going to save Faith for last.

[stake_n_skank]

Shit. I knew I should move. The hesitation was going to cost me my life. But I felt like my boots were strapped to the floor. I couldn't leave because then they were free. I was afraid. That's right. Faith was scared. They were more powerful than any vamp I'd ever faced.

But Angelus didn't move. He hesitated too. I had my chance! My chance to do something. Anything. And that chance was gone as fast as it had come.

Before I knew what was happening, I was lifted into the air by my neck. My feet only grazing the floor. Damnit Faith!

I stared down into his eyes. He was right. He could kill me right there. My life was in his hand, literally. I tried to swing my leg a bit, trying to hit him in the groin, but I couldn't get the momentum without hurting myself further.

I was going to die. I knew it in that moment. I had let everyone down.

I hit the ground. I was alive. He had dropped me. I rubbed my neck and looked up at B and Angelus. Then I got up and pulled my stake.

No. I had to find the others. I bolted.

[the_golden_girl]

Can we say ow much? When it came to the way Faith tossed her head back towards my own. It hurt for about a split second. Only because I think vampires...well, we vampires, feel pain more keenly than mortals. Granted, we heal a world faster. But still, ow much? Completely uncalled for. Despite the hold I had on her. But never did I flinch or lose my grasp on Faith-y here.

If anything, I clutched tighter. Wanting to break her arms for having even attempted such an act. But I was too late.

Faith went dead weight and completely stiff in my hold. Just like some bratty little kid! I had that happen to me more than ever when I babysat for the Gregory's back in LA. Unwrapping my arms from Faith, I sank besides her. Ready to lunge when Angelus and she were face to face. The pair staring each other down like the true enemies they were. Sizing one another up and down. Studying. Ah, Angelus looked ever the predator. Keeping Faith on her toes, so to say.

Then, like that, in the blink of an eye, Faith was at Angelus' mercy. Which I swore he had none of. Guess I was wrong. Because as soon as he had her, he let her go.

He. Let. Her. Go!

What the fuck for? I would have loved to see her head detatch from her body. Eyes still wide. The fear shining out of them. Mouth agape.

Then I thought about it; it was fast and painless. Not much with the screaming part of my lust that was still growing. Pushing myself up, I stalked over to Angelus and passed Faith, to come and rest against his hip.

Faith's doe eyes taking on just that, a look of a deer caught in the headlights of a truck. Knowing that there's that do or die situation. If you don't do, then you die. Faith hadn't done anything. The deer blinded by the light. But luckily, Angelus had slammed down on his breaks. Not yet ready to destroy such a work of art.

Not realizing that I was mesmerized by the vulnerability in those honey browns, Angelus drew me back to his attention. Glancing over my shoulder, I nodded. "Yeah, coming babe." I said slowly, looking once more at Faith before sprinting off. Coming to take the lead into the sewer. Cringing when bare feet splashed into filthy water.

"You know, considering this is pretty much a first date..." I guess part of the old me was still buried inside, I glared at Angelus, "...you could have picked out a better plan. As far as transportation goes! I'm covered in shit." Doubling over, I looked over my legs. All of which, even in the dark now with perfect vision, I could see the brown sewer water staining my perfectly toned and tanned legs. "Literally! Angelus. This is just wrong. On so many levels." Folding my arms in that oh so infamous pouty way, I stormed off. Not sure where I was going. Too engrossed in the gross mucky water soaked to my legs.
