In Sunnydale.
Faith and I had discussed our feelings on the way here. It wasn't something that I was usually particularly strong at, especially about something that was so personal to me.
I had learned to brood over the past century. I was alone and had mastered the art of keeping all of my problems inside.
The fact that Buffy had already died once, and I wasn't there to protect her and that I was able to move on bothered me, but thanks to Willow, and dark magicks, she had come back, and I never thought that she would die for a third time.
But it had happened. She was really gone, and the worst part of i all was that she was killed by some idiot human while standing in her yard, and didn't die facing an apocalypse, which was the only true way that someone like Buffy should have died.
She was a hero and she was gone. I had busted Faith out of jail. Well, she had done most of the work herself, but she was now out, and going with me to Sunnydale, which needed a slayer.
That thought alone pissed me off and brought me back to Buffy. I had never had the chance to love her like I wanted to and I never would again. I didn't see magicks bringing her back this time, seeing as how she had died a human death. There were no mystical circumstances. A part of me wanted to get the whole team on it and research it until we were exhausted, because the world needed Buffy, but I knew that there was no way.
It was over. She was gone.
And Faith was here. She told me about her feelings and while her sarcasm wasn't called for, I understood it completely, because I understood her completely. She missed Buffy, and regretted what happened to her, otherwise she wouldn't have been so blunt and sarcastic.
"The cops will be looking for you, Faith, but that doesn't mean that you shy away from your duties. You may have to be careful, but if you ever need me, I will put a few cops down for you. Guarding the hellmouth is more important."
I looked at her, as I drove into town towards Rovello drive, knowing that she was a wanted felon. "And so is killing the son of a bitch who shot, Buffy! Can you take another human life, Faith? Because I will do it if you can't."
