Chapter 3
The Black Rose
Chapter 3
The music from the club could be heard for half a mile around, Friday night was always the busiest. Before Faith had taken over The Bronze was the seediest club she had ever been in, vamps, demons all the low life scum in Sunnydale drank there. Faith bought it cash, after the revamp she made Saskia in charge of cleaning out the scum.
She’d made the club and surrounding area the hottest place to be seen for miles around, some of Hollywood’s actors and actress had been snapped falling out of there in the early hours. Only head vamps and demons that would pass as human were allowed inside, even then there were rules to their admittance. All knew the consequence of breaking those rules.
Faith nodded her hello to the bar staff knowing her drink would be waiting for her before she got to the balcony. She slipped a hundred into the hand of the large framed man at the bottom of the stairs “Balcony’s closed now.” The man nodded and took position in the centre when she had passed.
Saskia already had them a table filled with some of their friends, Faith knew most of them intimately, those who she didn’t know quickly introduced themselves. Saskia handed her a drink as she introduced herself to them, she downed the drink in one gulp licking her lips savouring the taste “Mmm that hit the spot.” Faith positioned herself close to Saskia “Now how’s about I take you and some of your friends here upstairs.” She nibbled at her lip, her eyes changing into the predator that she was. Saskia smiled and moved aside “After you.”
Faith woke at nine forty five, diving out of the bed she quickly showered and dressed in a smart dark grey pinstripe suit. She looked over at the naked bodies littering the bed, all curled around each other in a multitude of sin. A brief smug smile as she thought of how insatiable she must have been last night, she grabbed her keys and cell from the nightstand and hurried to make her appointment with Buffy.

Alex checked over her repair notes as Buffy sat on the weathered porch waiting for Faith to show. As she heard the sound of an approaching car she stood, wiping the dirt from the seat of her trousers. Alex stood by her side as they both watched eagerly as the brunette parked and made her way over to them.
Alex nudged her girlfriend “Geez Buffy you never said how hot the woman are in this town.”
Buffy smirked “I didn’t know.”
“Buffy Summers?” Faith lifted her sunglasses to rest on the top of her head, shaking Buffy's hand.
“I’m Alex.” She stepped forward “Buffy's better half.” She smiled. Faith shook her hand, her eyes never leaving Buffy.
“*Better* half? Ha! Shall we go inside?”
Chuckling at the couples antics, Faith led the way up the porch steps and unlocked the door. “You guys have a look around down her I’ll go open some of the upstairs windows, make sure nothings died up there.”
The large open rooms gave the place character, old furniture that had seen better days sat dusty where they had been abandoned. A rocking chair to the back of the lounge was the only piece out of place and dust free. “So what do you think so far?” Faith watched as Buffy excitedly walked around the room, telling Alex what colours she wanted for the walls and where their furniture would go.
“I love it.”
“Yeah doesn’t look like so much work inside.” Alex looked more to the repairs that would be needed rather than the final décor. “How long’s it been empty?”
“We’ve had the keys at the office for a few years so I guess a long time.”
Faith tried to control the anger in her voice as she noticed the rocking chair and how it was dust free. She knew someone had been here recently and she knew who it would have been.
“Just the chair in the corner there seems a little out of place. Like someone’s been here recently.” Buffy noticed, inspecting the chair.
“Tell you the truth I like to come out here, ya know when work gets too much. The views are amazing.”
“They so are.” In the next instance Buffy had disappeared out into the kitchen, the sound of the drawers and cupboards opening and closing gave Alex the perfect excuse to leave the tense suffocating atmosphere that had developed from Faith. “I should go see what she’s doing before she breaks something.”
Faith waited a few minutes before joining them “It’s very quiet here, you won’t get anyone from town disturbing you.”
“I don’t think you need to sell this place to us, my baby’s already hooked.” Alex smiled as she watched Buffy inspecting every corner of the kitchen and utility room.
Faith smiled “You two been together long?”
“Four years give or take.”
As Faith watched the little blonde, thoughts crept into her head of how she could overcome Alex, have her wicked way with Buffy then dispose of the bodies. No one would know, she’d gotten away with murder so many times it was like second nature to her now. Guilt had slowly been suppressed over the years that she felt nothing anymore, never felt consequences of her action, never felt remorse. Buffy finished her inspection of the downstairs and stood eagerly waiting for Alex to finish making notes of repairs before checking out the upstairs.
“Come on. I wanna see upstairs.” Buffy grabbed Alex dragging her away.
“I have to make a call…” Faith excused herself out to the car. “Sass it's me, what the fuck do you think your playing at?” the grumble over the other end of the phone sounded like Saskia had just woken and had no idea what Faith was talking about. “Sass?”
“Yeah.”
“Why the fuck have you been in my house?”
“I haven’t boss.” Saskia lied badly, she had been to the house and recently. Whenever Faith was playing hard to get or simply being a mean bitch to her, she would drive out there and just sit in Faith's chair.
“Fucking liar. Get up and get those whore’s outta my apartment before I get back. And Sass you better have some information on a slayer for me by the end of today.” Faith slammed the phone closed and punched the roof of her car in frustration, then took in a few deep breaths before returning into the house. Saskia lying to her dispelled the lingering reservations she’d had of selling. Buffy and Alex were making their way back downstairs, discussing the potential of the house, and how quickly they would be able to move in.
“So I’m guessing you both like the place?”
“Love it, when can we move in?” Buffy said in a jokey/serious way.
Faith smiled “Soon as you agree on the price.”
“I agree.” Buffy said quickly
“I never said how much.”
“What's a few hundred thousand among friends. I want, you have, we’ll pay. Simple.” Buffy gave Faith her best cute innocent smile. “I can write you a cheque right now.”
Faith looked a little surprised as Buffy rummaged through her bag and pulled out the cheque book. “Eager much.”
“Cheque not ok?”
“Cheque’s fine but we got a lot of paperwork to sign over and go through.”
“Well how about I pay you and as a token of trust you let us have the keys so we can get started while you draw up the deeds?”
“Sure why not? Not like I wont know where to find you.” Faith took the keys from the door feeling the weight of them in her hand for the last time. “Alex I know some guys, they do a bit of work for the company. I know they don’t have much on right now so if you need them, call me I’ll send them over.” Faith tossed the keys to Buffy as she headed out, sadness in her heart as she finally severed the connection. She didn’t need a house to remember her dead parents.
