Return and departure
~ Four Days Later~
Buffy sat in the dark of her room, today was the day. The day them faced The First, she knew that the girls were scared and there morale was severely shaken when Raya died. But they would go and face the First. They now had the scythe, and after Willow preformed some super mojoey spell on it she and Faith would no longer be the only slayers.
She thought back over the last few days, Horus and Asher both spent more time than not in there wolf forms. Horus helped when he could but they were all worried about Asher, the boy had barely eaten and the only time he shifted was if he was asked to look after Skylar.
Willow had done every type of location spell she could find to see if by some chance Raya was out there somewhere. Faith…Faith hadn’t been seen since the night they returned from the caves. They all were torn because on the one hand they all felt she should be left alone, and on the other they were all aware that she was needed for this fight but no one wanted to ask her.
Standing she left her room and opened the door to Faith and ….Faiths room. She saw Faith packing the diaper bag and duffel.
“Do you need any help with anything?” Buffy asked. She didn’t miss the dark shadows under her eyes or the way Faiths shoulders slumped.
“I’m five by five B. Can you go see of Horus has anything he can’t fit into his bags because I still got some room?” Faith turned and Buffy knew she was ‘five by five’ as long as no one looked into her eyes. Nodding she left Faith and went to search out Horus.

Dawn led Asher who carried Skylar to the bus, as they all climbed on she and Asher sat down. Looking up she saw Anya coming up to them, crouching down Anya looked at Asher and smiled.
Asher just glowered. He had taken an intense liking to Spike the last few days and his copying Spikes behavior was annoying to everyone but Spike.
“You know what Asher, your dad asked me to give you an important job. Yeah you get to stay here and help Dawn protect the bus.” Anya smiled and wanted to smirk at the stunned look on the boys face.
“Guard the bus? I’m not bloody Five Anya does he think im stupid?” Anya shifted uncomfortable as Dawn bit her cheek to stop from laughing.
“Well...uuhh…just stay here.” Anya stood and went to the front of the bus and sat down, this time Dawn did laugh, until Asher whipped around and stared at her with those wolfish yellow eyes.
*******
She couldn’t believe it, she couldn’t fucking believe it. The sun shone down with a vengeance against her bare skin, she was assaulted by scents and sounds she didn’t think she would ever hear again. Looking down from her position at the top of the dune, she saw it…Egypt.
They had finished one of the pyramids she watched as the slaves worked like a well oiled machine. Stepping lightly she looked up at the cloudless sky. From her position she could see her father’s palace, standing proud in the sunlight.
The first night she had woken in the desert she had been ten kinds of confused. She had figured out that Yakumut wanted her dead. She knew that the bitch was trying to wipe her from ever existing and if she had finished that spell she would have.
She turned and walked down the dune and into the nearest nobleman’s farm. Ignoring the stares from the slaves she walked to the main door, knocking loudly she waited for someone to answer.
When a small girl servant opened it she fought back a smile. She was High Prince here; it wouldn’t do for her to appear human. When the girl’s eyes widened comically Raya looked down at the girl.
“I am Prince Raya-Talsen, I require food, water and clothing. Is your master home?” When the girl nodded she stepped into through the door and into the main room.
“Slave, where were you I told you to finish helping cook in the kitch….” The man stopped and looked at the nude woman standing in his doorway. She was taller than him, almost six feet. There was an aura of power about her and when he saw her arm tattoos he knew why. She was royalty.
“May I help you?” He dropped to one knee and looked upon the stranger
“Yes. I require food, clothing and a chariot. And if you can spare a man please send word to my father, the Pharaoh the High Prince has returned.”
“Prince…Raya Talsen?” He stammered. The Princes disappearance had been a mystery for the last thirteen years. There had been a few imposters over the years but none of them could prove they were blessed by Ra with the strength of the wolf and therefore were put to death. But this woman…her eyes glared down at him with something not quite human, and he saw her eyes. She was the Prince. When the woman nodded he bade the girl to fetch the Prince what she asked for.
*******
She had to give it to him…the man had a good bathing house. She had bathed and washed the dirt from her skin, and her hair was now tucked behind her ears as a servant boy waited nearby holding a tray awaiting her next order.
She had spoken to the servants and found her disappearance was a mystery among the people. This meant that High Priest had gotten away with his betrayal…and if he were still alive she had a way back to Sunnydale.
*******
High Priest looked down upon his sleeping son. This boy would be Pharaoh; he had been born less than a month after the High Princes disappearance and being brothers with the Pharaoh made the child next in line for the throne.
Turning at the sound of his Pharaohs voice, “Priest, Priest come quick! There’s a servant messenger that says Raya-Talsen is back and at a small farm.”
Priest felt sympathetic to his brother’s hopes. The man had been heartbroken when the prince had disappeared all those years ago. Nearly declaring war on the neighboring countries convinced it was a political kidnapping. But once his rage had subsided he had to admit that Raya-Talsen was special, that one couldn’t just steal the she-prince.
“Brother, do not get your hopes up. Think of imposters.” Priest said soothingly.
“The servant says the stranger has the tattoos of Raya. Pointed ears and eyes like the sun.” Priest froze…’no, it couldn’t be’
*******
Faith ducked and dodged, swinging her sword up she took the head off two of the vampire, turning she rushed to a small struggle where three vampire were working two of the girls off the cliff.
Grabbing ones should she sliced its head off before round-house kicking the other back over the cliff. Rushing back into the fray she saw Horus fighting for all he was worth. As many vampire bit him, as soon as he blood hit there tongues they dropped and convulsed until they were nothing but ash. ‘Lucky wolf” Faith thought.
*******
Kennedy watched as Willows hair turned stark white as she called all the potentials into being slayers. When she came out of her trance Willow gave Kennedy the scythe and told her to take it to Buffy.
Tearing down the hall of the school she headed for the hell mouth.
******
Buffy turned in time to see Spike back into a corner as the necklace he wore began to glow. Bracing herself when the entire room began to shake she watched as everyone still standing ran up the stairs to leave.
Horus picked up Vikki and ran up the stairs and into the light. When the bus came into view he raced onto it, gently laying the girl down in a seat he looked to the back to see Asher and Dawn watching them, Dawn was trying to quiet down Skye ‘Where’s Faith?’
He looked out the windows but didn’t see her. Turning off the bus he ran past the girls and back into the school stopping when he spotted Anya lying under debris. He felt a vice over his heart at the sight of the ex-demon that had become more of a sister to him over the years.
Looking down the hall he saw Faith running out of the school, grabbing her around the waist he flung her over his shoulder and sprinted to the bus.
“HORUS PUT ME DOWN” Faith beat his back ‘Like mother like son’ she thought.
Climbing onto the bus he fell to his knees when it started moving, Faith stood and went to the back of the bus and pulled Skylar from Asher’s arms and sat down to try to calm her baby.
“Where’s Buffy?” Dawn asked frantically looking around the bus and finally looking outside.
********
As the bus pulled to a halt they all got out and went to look at the crater that had become Sunnydale.
Faith looked to Asher who grasped his father’s hand. Looking down at her own daughter she smiled as the child looked at her. Looking up in time to see the sign reading ‘Welcome to Sunnydale’ wobble and fall into the crater she smiled and turned back onto the bus.
