No. It's not that easy, Angel. You have to kill me, I'll kill them all if you don't. I'll kill everybody. William doesn't have plans, but I do. I don't like this place anymore, I want it to be different. I'll make it different.

Her words resonated through my mind as I picked myself up from the ground, my hand moving to my jaw where Buffy totally socked me one. She was certainly more than one flew over the cuckoo's nest and taking her down just took a new place in my heart- well, mind... whatever. I knew that her and Faith were close, if that's even the right word really. I hadn't let Faith know what I knew about her and Buffy, Buffy'd told me long before Faith and I ever got involved. Involved? Is that even the right word? Vampires and Slayers are usually like water and oil but somehow me being here to protect her has become slightly more involved than that.

At any rate I needed to find Faith and make sure she was safe and inside somewhere, guessing she was probably not at home so I used what vampires know best. Scent. It was more than easy to track her down with her being a Slayer but it was curious how I couldn't track Buffy, granted she is a vampire and that may be the difference. Who knows but I do know one thing, Buffy is out and about lose and insane and more than likely going on her killing spree of three she rambled about. Who the hell were the three? Beat the hell out of me. I found myself on a strange suburban side street and realized that Faith was not at home, someone elses house. Possibly a friend from school? I followed her scent and was a bit upset when I realized that she was out and about wandering the streets of Sunnydale in the dark.

No. It's not that easy, Angel. You have to kill me, I'll kill them all if you don't. I'll kill everybody. William doesn't have plans, but I do. I don't like this place anymore, I want it to be different. I'll make it different.

I shook my head and rounded the corner onto Main Street Sunnydale which was filled with teenagers and adults mingling at the Espresso Pump and movie theater. I scanned the crowd but didn't see Faith or whomever she was with, she was close enough though which meant I wasn't leaving here until she was with me. I was putting my money on her not being to big on going home and being safe or me taking her back to the mansion but it wasn't a choice. Buffy was a lunatic hell bent on killing Faith and that wasn't going to happen on my watch. I haven't had a vision in a long while, wasn't sure if I should be concerned or not because honestly they are a pain. Wondered if Whistler was going to make an appearance any time soon, he'd be able to tell me. I heard a bunch of giggling erupt from behind me and I turned in time to see Faith and a girl friend from school come piling out of a video store.

"Faith, I'm so glad I found you." I said they approached me, both stopped and looked at me and then at one another and erupted into a fit of laughter once again. What the hell was- I looked at both of their eyes and they were dilated and glassy. Great, fabulous. Keep yourself in check Angel, you're not her Watcher or her Father. "Faith and um- Fred is it? I'm sorry to interrupt your fun time but we need to get you both inside and quick." Faith gave me an annoyed look and Fred just kept giggling and trying to hold it in, I finally took Faith by her arm and pulled her aside to talk to her quietly. No need to get the other girl scared or worked up.

"I'm sorry to interrupt after all that has... happened tonight but it's Buffy." I said in a hushed tone.
