Wandering...
((Cont from HEREI walked away from the building, the seemingly endless meetings coming to an end for now. I was satisfied with... certain aspects after speaking to the one known as Hamilton. My business with them was, certainly, far from over, yet

Unable to discern what it was, my eyes shut but for a moment, and reaching out with one hand, the memories of Fred surfaced and then vanished.
"Faith."
The remainder of my body turned to follow my head, jerky yet catlike motions that led me ever closer to her. The songs no longer whispered to me, but I knew in my soul that she was there... waiting... watching. Had she been sent forth by the vampires?
"Come out, little one. I would wish to have words with you."
That was not a lie, unlike so much of my life and so much of what had occured recently. I needed to discover why she was following me... was it to end my existance? To find out more information on the workings of the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart ( ... )

I raised my eyebrow. How the hell did she see me? I thought I was bein' all stealthy.
Guess not.
"Come out, little one. I would wish to have words with you."
Little one? Oh, now we got a problem when I'm gettin' called names like that. A serious problem.
"You might wanna watch who you're callin' little."
I stepped out from behind my cover, my eyes fixed on her and my lip curled into a sneer.
"I've been called a lot of things in my life, but 'little' definitely ain't one of 'em."
I crossed my arms over my chest, tiltin' my head to the side as I studied her. Damn. She looked so much like Fred, it tripped my ass out. I know they warned me, but man, I guess you don't know til you see it for yourself.
It was Fred. Plus the added blue-ness she had goin' on ( ... )

One eyebrow raised in confusion, since despite all her powers she was - indeed - little compared to me. I waited as long as possible before she answered my query... her energies were odd, displaced, as if...
Was she not a part of the group that had died only to be reborn?
"I dunno. Maybe cause somebody put me here. Then chose me to fulfill some prophecy. You know that whole Slayer gig. But the me bein' here, that's somethin' I ain't figured out yet. Only thing I can say is that the Powers that Be wanted me here, so... Here I am. Or did you mean, here. As in right here where we are?"Her words were quite confusing to me, yet I sensed she was, indeed, attempting to reach out to me in some manner ( ... )

I took a drag, raisin' my eyebrow and lookin' at her.
"First off..." I exhaled, tappin' the ashes from the end of my cigarette to the ground. "Do I look like somebody who takes orders? I mean, come on now, I know you musta heard about the legend of Faith. Rogue Slayer, evil, prison. It's what they tell all the good little Slayers to keep 'em in line."
I smirked, takin' another drag. This shit was too fun.
"And you can chill Big Blue, I ain't here to off nobody. Just tryin' to get some answers." I shrugged. "That's it. Ain't nobody gotta die here."
"If you are attempting to glean information from me - yes, I went to the Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart. They wish me to sign paperwork that will bind me to them forever in exchange for the return of my powers. Is... that what you wished to know?"Oh man, this ain't good. Not good at all. She signs on at Evil Inc and they hook her back up with her powers, we're all fucked. Well, maybe not, I could probably ( ... )

"I know," I whispered carefully, memories from Fred filling me just as the new ones I had created told me the same. The Wolf, the Ram, and the Hart were intent on using me for their own purposes, rather than truly assist me. Perhaps the only one who might have aided me - my Qwa'ha Xahn - was trapped there as well beneath their paperwork and laws that would bind him.
Maybe the one known as Hamilton would help... he had at least been respectful...
"I took their offer too. I was in a bad place then. But Soulboy woke me up. Made me realize I was fightin' for the wrong side. You sign on with them and dude, you'll be their puppet. Doin' whatever they tell ya to do. Yeah, you'll get ( ... )

I cocked my head to the side. What the fuck was goin' on here? What did she realize?
I raised my eyebrow, watchin' her closely. Can't take no chances.
"I am no one's minion! I... I do not wish this, yet what am I to do? Return to the vampire where they assume I have murdered their comrade? Stand before those vermin and wait as they destroy what life I have left within me so that Wesley and Fred might feel....... might feel better? Without me to interfere?""Woah. Chill yo. Nobody's sayin' anything about standin' before nobody and I sure as hell know I ain't said nothin' about destroyin' your life. Man, you are trippin' me out here ( ... )
