Finding Faith Conclusion

We never actually made it back to the jail. We were ambushed! Angel's car was shot up pretty bad; it's a shame. He really loved that car.

Dark's minions took us into custody.

Buffy, Kate and Angel fought like animals. I didn't, I stood back and watched the action.

One of the clan came up and grabbed me from behind. I knocked him off, turned around and slapped his face leaving a red trail where my nails made contact with his skin.

"How dare you touch me!" I said through clenched teeth.

I grabbed hold of him, squeezing; I felt my body release a powerful current, burning him from the inside out.

Everyone stopped fighting.

The minions and the dynamic trio stood before me, shocked into silence.

I looked at the trio saying.

"It's useless to resist!"

Buffy cried out. "Faith, don't do this, fight it!"

My laughter echoed through the night. She started crying.

I glared at my minions; that's right, my minions, daring any of them to defy me.

"These three are promised to me, touch them and suffer my wrath!"

The clan led us to the place where the elders dwelled. Where I was supposed to become one with all evil. Imagine a slayer leading a war; given all the gifts the dark had to offer. I'd be unstoppable.

There were seven elders; given the positions according to strength and power. My father was top bastard. But soon, I would rule over him.

I can't really describe him. He wasn't really a vampire. He wasn't really a demon. He took on all forms; he was adaptable. I guess the best word is demon; that's what I use.

I walked up to the elders, looking down upon them; they were nothing, mere stepping stones. I carried myself like, I was regal or something. They were all quiet, waiting for me to lead them.

"Prepare yourselves!" I ordered.

I left the group to make my own preparations. Bestowed upon me was a black velvet robe. It was sleeveless and had a long plunging neckline. It was slit up both sides, all the way to the hip line. I had black lace up sandals, the kind that Jesus must've worn.

I dressed.

I could feel electricity coursing through my body. A higher power had hold of me; it flowed through me. I felt it move inside of me, guide me. I would never be alone again.

I made my way back to the elders, to the altar. They were dressed in flowing black robes. I looked at their hooded eyes.

"Remove your hoods and show your true forms!" I ordered.

They did as instructed and morphed into the demons in my dreams.

I looked over to where Angel, Buffy and Kate were being held. I motioned for them to be brought closer.

"Keep them near," I said.

I looked at the seven chosen ones. The moonlight lit up their demonic faces. I smiled at them.

I climbed up and laid- back on the altar. The elders gathered round. I put them in place; with my father at my head and three to each side. They waited for me to speak.

" I'm going to release the power within; when this happens you must all drink from me and then I will drink of you. We must be as one to call our master."

I closed my eyes. My adrenaline was pounding through my body. My heartbeat was banging in my head. I relaxed as best I could and let the power flow through me, consume me.

My eyes shot open!

"Drink me now!" I screamed.

I felt my skin tear at my neck, arms, thighs and ankles. My flesh ripped and burned. I could feel the hot, sticky wetness running down my skin.

My blood flowed!

I heard them gulping, sucking at my life force, swallowing my essence.

I shuddered!

All at once, they drew back, looking at me in shock and wonder. My father yelled.

"What have you done?"

I sat up, weak, staring at him. I smiled.

He reached out to grab me.

I was soaked in my own blood and when his hand touched me he began to burn. He stepped back, amazed.

"What did you do?" He screamed.

I smiled, stood up on top of the altar and in angered voice yelled.

"You fucked me, so I fucked you!"

The seven were starting to burn. I could see them squirming, becoming bright embers.

I laughed and yelled out.

"The body is eighty percent water. It's a part of every living tissue, including blood. My eighty percent is Holy water!"

The minions were realizing what was happening. I looked at my friends standing there, I yelled.

"Now would be a good time to start kicking some ass!"

And they did!

The elders reached their burning peak and combusted. Knocking me backwards and knocking me out.

The fighting continued without me.

I woke up being stared down at by my friends, my family, Angel, Buffy and Kate.

I smiled up at them asking. "Did we win?"

"Hell Yeah!" B yelled.

What demons they didn't kill ran off into the night.

The clan would regroup and be back; I didn't know when but I knew they'd return.

I spent a couple of days in the hospital, courtesy of the L.A.P.D....I had a concussion.

I'm fixing to be released and returned back to the county jail.

I walked into the headquarters, cuffed of course and I see Angel, Buffy and Kate, Hell even Wesley and Cordelia showed.

I look at B and Kate. I'm going to have to choose between the two of them someday, but not today. I'll have to wait and see what develops.

Time will tell!

".....oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh........MMMmmmmmmmm............Aaaahhhhhhh..........."

The hot water washed over our bodies.

"......oooohhhh..........ooooooohhhhh........ooooooohhhh......don't stop......."

"Faster."

"....ooohhh...ooohhh...oohh...oohh...ohh...ohh...oh...oh..oh...OOOHHhhhhhh.....mmmmm...."

We collapsed onto each other, gently caressing, lightly kissing. We just stood under the hot water; arms wrapped around one another, smiling.

Suddenly, we were knocked out of our afterglow.

"Honey, I'm home!" The voice called.

She went into panic!

"Oh my god....You have to leave.....We're gonna get caught!"

I dried off as fast as I could and jumped into my clothes.

"Hurry!" She said.

"I'm hurrying!"

I stepped halfway out the window and looked back at this beautiful woman before me.

She smiled. "I love you, Faith."

I smiled back. "I love you too, B." I gave her a quick kiss before I lowered myself to the ground and made my way back to my car.

Ok, I chose Buffy and she chose me, kind of. You know how uptight she is; so she's in the closet, so to speak.

I start my car and begin the long ride home.

B and I meet once or twice a week. We talk on the phone almost every day. It hurts that she can't be with me openly. She worries about what people will think of her.

I spent about seven months in county before I made it to trial. My case was thrown out; no witnesses, no bodies to be found, no reports, no nothing. It's hard to convict you of something that nobody gave a damn about, well except for me.

Time moves fast! I've been free and clean for about eight months now.

I work with Angel. I also do some bounty work in my spare time, not that I have any spare time.

I travel back and forth between L.A. and Sunnydale. I'm a part of both worlds.

I did happen to receive a few gifts from the PTB.

I have the most amazing senses now!

I can conduct current through my body like an electric wire.

I can see the future. In a few years I give birth to a daughter. She has a great life ahead of her. She'll be a part of the Trinity! Oh, did I say, she's gonna be a slayer. I name her Angelanne. Angel for the vampire that saved my soul, and Anne for the slayer that gave me heart.

My Favorite gift is that I have the power to make things happen. If I want something, I visualize it happening and it does!

I know what you're thinking, but the PTB monitors me. They only let things happen that are good or that are meant to be, like the Trinity.

Hell, I can even get a woman pregnant!

Just ask B, in about six months. Right now she's in denial. She just keeps on saying that it belongs to that man of hers.

Yeah Right!

When our kid's born, B won't be able to deny it. My kids gonna be a carbon copy of me!

I let out the laughter that I've been holding in.

Man that beefstick's gonna be really pissed!!!

I pull up outside of my apartment, my apartment; it feels great to have a place of my own.

I look around to see if anyone or anything followed me. I know it's only a matter of time before one of the clan comes after me.

Hell, anyone could come after me! That law firm is still pissed about that fifteen thousand dollars.

Inside my apartment, I finally relax. I pick up the mail and make my way to the bed. I sit down and open up an envelope.

I hear something move. I jerk around. It's just the cat.

"Damn cat!" I sigh.

I relax and start going through the mail again. I can hear a noise off to the side of me. I am so going to kill that cat!

I look up to see what it's doing.

A dark figure rushes me, putting all its weight on me, forcing me back against the mattress. It pins one hand and turns my head to the side, making contact with my neck.

It only took me a few seconds to compose myself.

I rolled it over onto its back, changing positions with it. I was on top now. I was the one in control.

I stared into those dark eyes.

"Hi Kate." I said.

"Hey, baby," she said smiling.

I smiled back, rubbing my hand over her swollen belly, leaning in for a passionate kiss.

Ok, so I chose Kate too.

I mean, come on now! It's like being given a piece of cake and getting to eat it too! Only I was given two pieces and getting to eat both!

I've said it before. I'll say it again.

"If the demons don't kill me, these women probably will."

"Who am I?"

"I'm Faith Lockley." "The dawn treader," that's what all the evil ones call me.

I took Kate's name because she's the only one who offered it to me.

And as for my daughter: Her full name if going to be Angelanne Lockley. I'm naming her Lockley for the woman that gave me a life. As to the names of the other two, guess!

I know in the end that I'll get caught.

But for now..........

Let.....Me.....Eat......Cake!
