Carry the weight of the world

It was easier then I thought it'd be. Trackin' down the demon. Although once you got within a few city blocks it was easy to see why. C wasn't kiddin' when she said the thing reeked, cause seriously...it smelled like all the sewage in L.A. backed up and overflowed onto the streets. Man, I get that this guy's a demon who eats little kids, but c'mon ( Read more... )

It had been an hour since Faith had left. An hour in which I'd scrubbed and cleaned every inch of the apartment, already spotless from my last cleaning spree.

My hands itched from the detergent I'd used. It was good, I guessed, gave me something else to focus on than the vision. Something else to focus on while I waited for Faith.

"I'll be fine," Faith gave me one of those 'don't worry about me' smiles, "Got these wicked slaying powers, remember?"

"Just be careful, okay?" I left it unsaid that I couldn't lose her too. Seemed kind of like a jinx to me, sending her out with a less than stellar view of her abilities. I mean what would I say? 'Don't die, please?' "And don't go after that thing alone."

I watched as she headed out, mouthed three words behind her back that I hadn't quite worked up the courage to say to her yet and turned back to my cleaning...Every surface gleamed now. I'd sorted out all my PI stuff into files, had even stopped to actually try to focus on some of the stupid homework I'd been given but-- To say I ( ... )

The tone of her voice made me want to immediately hang up the phone. Think I really would've too if I could remember whether or not we had caller ID at the house. She sounded worried, hangin' up on her now would probably only make it worse for me in the end. Shit. Maybe I really shoulda taken Wes up on his offer of a ride. No, gettin' a ride from Wes would make it worse- just like hangin' up on her now would make it about ten times more worse. Not that the idea wasn't tempting ( ... )

"Yep. It's me."

There was no flash of relief with that statement. My heart didn't stop jackhammering in my chest and I knew, instinctively, that something was wrong. Very wrong.

"Can you come get me?"

Get her from where? What the hell had she been doing? She was supposed to go out and get information, she'd promised me that she wouldn't do anything stupid. She'd promised.

"I'm about two blocks away from Wolfram and Hart."Wolfram and Hart. Faith was near Wolfram and Hart? Why the hell was she-- "I'm on my way." I dropped the phone back into its cradle, squeezed my eyes shut again. Somewhere between falling asleep and waking up the vision pain had disappeared ( ... )

I'd only been sittin' on the steps for all of a few minutes when the familiar car (just another thing that Dave hooked us up with) pulled up alongside me. Two words and the door opened up, Cordelia looking at me and the worry in her face made me wanna hop right on outta the car and take my chances with Wolfram and Hart. Instead I slammed the passenger door closed and leaned back in the seat. My leg still hurt wicked bad so I squeezed my eyes shut waitin' for the car to start movin ( ... )
