Willow followed her brunette slayer out into the night, looking over her shoulder at the place she had awoken in more ways that just from coming out of unconscious. She would not think about what she may have awoken into; she was in no way ready for that right now.
“Faith… where are we going?” she called out to the other girl, catching up.
Faith whipped a hand over Willow’s mouth to shut her up. “You want the whole town to hear you, Red? A little quieter next time,” she said, her eyebrows lowered in annoyance as she removed her hand and headed forward again.
“But what are you doing? If you get caught…”
“I’m only gonna get caught if a certain someone doesn’t shut their hole right about now,” Faith told her smartly.
“Well, you got that right,” said a familiar male voice, and suddenly Willow’s best friend was standing in front of them; looking none too sure of himself, but trying to appear otherwise.
“Xander! Xander, what are you doing here?” Willow almost leapt towards him before staying herself.
“So, the Scooby gang comes looking for its missing member,” Faith said with a twisted little smile. “How nice.”
“Step away from her, Faith,” Xander told her, not looking at Willow.
“Yeah?” Faith said, swinging her arm closer to Willow. “Whatcha gonna do about it?”
That was a real good question actually.
“Xander… it’s okay.” Willow gave a little smile for reassurance. “She hasn’t done anything bad.”
Xander’s eyes opened wide. “Oh, I suppose you went with her willingly then? Willow, she's not your friend.”
“I’ve heard enough of this,” Faith said, stepping forward and punching him out, before grabbing Willow’s hand and walking past matter-of-factly.
“Faith!!” Willow cried, looking back on Xander who lay unconscious on the ground.
