A WEEK LATER:
“Where are we going?” Maggie asked as she walked along next to Faith who appeared to be leading her god knows where.
“That’s the fifth time you’ve asked me that” Faith replied.
“Well maybe if you’d tell me....”
“I did tell you...We’re going on Patrol”
“But WHERE?”
“God, you’re annoying”
“Hey!” Maggie exclaimed “I just wanted to know where we’re going”
“We’re going to a CEMETERY okay?” Faith replied “God, I thought you actually trusted me by now”
“That’s not it!” Maggie argued “I do trust you...I’m just...worried about Bianca...”
Faith stopped and turned to Maggie, her expression softening considerably “She’s with B, I’m sure she’ll be fine”
“I know” Maggie sighed running a hand through her dyed dark brown hair which hung loosely around her shoulders “I just...I have a really bad feeling about this...”
The slayer placed a gentle hand on Maggie’s shoulder “Maybe I should call B and tell them to go back to the house”
The other girl shook her head hesitantly “I don’t know...I’m probably just stressing out about nothi...”
She was cut off as Faith’s gaze shifted from her eyes to over her shoulder and she shoved her out of the way. A split second after Maggie had stumbled to the side a sword cut swiftly through the air right where she had previously been standing and slashed Faith’s arm. The slayer yelped but jumped at the sword wielding vampire punching him swiftly. The vampire did not even wince, instead reacting with a punch of his own which sent the slayer to the ground. Before she had a chance to jump up he slashed her across the stomach with the now bloody sword in his hand. Faith cried out in pain but stood up quickly.
“Maggie?!” she yelled behind her where she had pushed Maggie to the ground only a minute before “Get out of here!”
“No way am I leaving you” Maggie protested. Faith didn’t have time to reply as the vampire once again drove his sword at her. She ducked just in time sending a kick to his legs. She grinned when he went down but he had jumped back up after only a few seconds. She groaned and punched him hard noticing the throbbing from her cuts.
“Ooph!” She fell to the ground a moment later when he punched her in the face. She instantly felt the blood begin to spurt from her lip. It took her a moment to compose herself but when she did she looked up to see he had started to advance on Maggie. She released a low growl before she jumped on his back to distract him from her charge. He shook her off rather too easily for her liking and she flew to the ground roughly. When he towered over her she used all of her energy to lunge at him staking him quickly. When he disappeared into ashes she slumped to the ground holding onto her stomach. Maggie was kneeling at her side an instant later.
“Faith?” She asked in a slightly panicked voice “Faith, are you okay?”
“Five by Five” Faith groaned.
Maggie pulled Faith gently up off the ground and wrapped an arm around her waist; Faith instinctively put her arm across Maggie’s shoulder’s leaning on her slightly. As they began walking slowly Faith muttered “I hate uber-vamps”
“Uber Vamps?” Maggie asked glancing at her in confusion.
“They’re stronger. Take longer to kill” Faith explained. They walked in silence for a while before Faith glanced back up to Maggie.
“Where are we going?”
Maggie grinned at the question “We’re going back to the house so I can fix you up. Everybody else is out aren’t they?”
Faith nodded as they approached the front door “You know you don’t have to. I mean I heal fast”
“I know I don’t Have to” Maggie replied as they moved toward the kitchen. She set Faith down on a chair before she grabbed a first aid kit “But I want to”
Faith nodded silently as Maggie observed her “Ok...so where does it hurt?”
Faith smiled at her “My lip, my arm and my stomach”
Maggie nodded before she opened the first aid kit. She glanced back at Faith for a moment “You’ll need to take your shirt off”
Faith grinned impishly and raised her eyebrows at Maggie “What would Bianca say?”
“Ha ha” Maggie replied dryly as the slayer removed her shirt. She stepped forward to observe the wounds and winced when she saw they were quite deep.
“This is probably gonna hurt” she said before she grabbed a bottle of peroxide from the counter. Faith shrugged indifferently as Maggie poured peroxide onto a cloth and pressed it gently against the wound on her arm. The slayer hissed as she felt the sting.
“Sorry” Maggie mumbled as she moved the cloth to the rather large gash on Faith’s stomach after pouring more peroxide on it.
“So are you a doctor or something?” Faith asked trying to block out the pain “You seem to know what you’re doing”
“I’m pre-med” Maggie smiled up at the slayer. After a moment of silence she continued “Hey, Faith can I ask you a rather personal question?”
“Sure” The slayer answered already expecting what the question would be.
Maggie hesitated for a minute as she reached for the steri-strip’s. She pressed the sides of the cut together with one hand as gently as possible before she began to apply the strips “How did you get the scar on your stomach?”
“To make a long story short...” Faith sighed “B stabbed me...But it wasn’t her fault. Not really. I was bad back then. I did a lot of bad things to her and the gang. Things I am trying to make up for”
Maggie nodded in understanding as she grabbed two bandages and applied them to the gashes on Faith’s arm and stomach. After that she moved her hand to Faith’s cheek so she could clean her lip up. As she began to clean it with a piece of tissue she looked Faith in the eye “How long have you been in love with her?”
Faith looked like a deer caught in the headlights “What? Love who?”
Maggie rolled her eyes as she continued to clean Faith’s lip “Buffy. Come on Faith, I may be naturally blonde underneath this dye job but I‘m not completely blind!”
As she finished she stepped backwards from the slayer and hopped onto the counter. Faith looked at her slightly dumbfounded before she found her voice “Quite perceptive aren’t you?” she smiled softly almost pained as she attempted to pull her shirt back on. When she winced Maggie hopped off the counter and helped her so her cuts didn’t reopen.
“I don’t know” Faith said softly “I’ve loved her for a long time. Years. It just seems to grow everyday...but it doesn’t matter anyway because she could never love somebody like me”
“Somebody like you?” Maggie frowned as she kneeled in front of the slayer .
Faith glanced up at her “Well yeah...I mean she’s Buffy...Pure, the greatest slayer there ever was and the most selfless person I know. But me...I’m just Faith the screw-up...the dark slayer”
“Hey” Maggie said softly as she took Faith’s hand in her own “you’re not just a screw-up. I mean I know you can be bossy, sarcastic, stubborn and kind of defensive sometimes but you’re a good person in so many other ways...You’ve saved countless innocent people not to mention that I don’t think me and Bianca would still be here if it wasn’t for you and Buffy...Didn’t you say you saved the world?”
Faith shook her head looking away “BUFFY saved the world...I just tagged along”
Maggie squeezed Faith’s hand tighter “Buffy told me that she couldn’t have done it if you weren’t there. That she depended on you more than you know...”
Faith looked back at her, looking for truth in her eyes “She said that? Really?”
Maggie nodded as she released Faith’s hand. She was about to say something when Faith’s cell phone started to ring.
“B?” She asked when she pulled it out and answered it “Wait...B...calm down...What happened?”
