Double the trouble, Double the pain

How to Save a Slayer

Young Faith ran around the house getting things together for the flight to Boston. “Angel, will you need blood on the flight or should I just pack it?” She called to him from the kitchen.

“I think I’ll be okay but you should pack some. I get hungry after fighting.” The vampire entered the kitchen as he told Faith and the other scoobies.

Faith stood looking at the man and giggled. “So I guess it’s not just a slayer thing. Well hopefully for you there isn’t the hornies too.” She turned and swatted Dawn on the arm.

“Okay Faith I love you but that was just…wrong on so many levels. Until your back in your own body…eww. Okay we should get ready to leave.” Dawn stated as she moved from Faith’s side.

They all busied themselves around the house gathering the things they needed for the trip. Giles would take his books so he could research on the way. Willow took some supplies incase she had to do a spell. Cordy and Anya took some small wooden weapons incase there were needed. Xander didn’t really know what to do so he took some books that had anything to do with alternate universe. Fred made her self comfortable because she was going to stay with the unconscious slayers.

“Willow, what if something happens while you’re gone? Maybe we should call some one to stay with me.” Fred said while looking at the slayers.

“You’re right Fred we can’t have you here alone. If something should happen then you will need help to protect the slayers.” Giles stated.

“Okay that is just what she said but shorter…Will we should call Tara to stay with her…I mean she does have witchy powers and all.” Xander put his two cents into the plain.
Willow and Dawn exchanged a knowing look, Willow shook her head. “We don’t have time Dawnie.”

“Okay call her and let’s get going it’s already seven o’clock we only have three hours to get there.” Giles called to the group from the hallway.

“Okay mister states the obvious is right we need to get going.” Dawn said running up the stairs to her room. As she entered the room, she took a deep breath then moved to her closet. Pulling out a small box out of the back of the closet. The box had a message on the cover:
‘Dawnie,
If you have this box then that means I didn’t make it. I love you and I hope you’ll never have to use this.
Love,
Buffy

Dawn opened the box and took out its contents. It was Buffy’s first stake she had left the box on Dawn’s bed the night she and Spike came back to the house to get weapons for the battle with Glory.
Dawn held the stake in her hand and looked it over. “Damn you Buffy. You can really piss me off some times.” She then took the stake and put it in the hidden pocket in the sleeve of her jeans jacket. Buffy had given the jacket to her for a present. She told Dawn that night that she was going to take her on patrol.

Faith waited for Dawn at the bottom of the stairs. The teen came down and looked at the young girl. “Okay Dawnie lets motor.” She told the girl and moved to the side so Dawn could pass.

Buffy sat up on the bed when she heard the front door open. “Hope is that you?” She asked as she slowly moved off the bed.

“Faith? No, it’s mom we have to get out of here. Where are you?” The woman asked as she stumbled around the living room.

Buffy made her way to the door and looked at the drunken woman standing in the other room. She could only see out of one eye because the other one was so badly beaten it was swollen shut. Buffy took a small breath and turned around and went back to the bed.

“Faith come on we have to leave…he’s going to be back…fuck!” She was pushed into the wall that separated the living room and Faith’s bed room.

“He’s here you stupid drunken bitch.” He kicked her to the side as he walked into the bed room. “Ready for more? I am.” Faith’s father moved over to the bed and pushed Buffy down on her back. “I’m going to fuck you so hard.” He pulled the robe apart, Buffy had found earlier and put on. He then laid down on top of her.

The gang had arrived in Boston. Cordy went to get a car for the rest of the trip.
“Okay we have the car where do we go from here?” Cordy said as she ran to the scoobies.

“We didn’t live that far from here so we’ll get there in about five minutes.” Faith told the group and turned to Dawn. “We’re going to get her back.”

“I want both of you back. Faith…” Faith cut Dawn off. Not wanting to waste any time.

“I know and we can talk later…when I’m in my own body!” She patted the teen’s hand.

They had all ran to the car and when they all got settled Angel drove off in the direction Faith told him.

“Oh…gods…no please.” Buffy said as her body was starting to react to his thrusting.
She cried as he pushed harder into her. The more she moaned the harder he would thrust.
“Oh…oh…stop please…oh.” She yelled

The front door was kicked open and the scoobies rushed in. “Faith are you sure he’s still here. I mean you found us…”The yelling of Buffy made Giles stop in mid sentence.

“Faith invite me in” Angel yelled at the front door.

“I don’t think I can...okay come in.” She tried to let him in but she no longer lived in the house so she couldn’t brake the barrier. “BUFFY INVITE ANGEL IN.” She yelled to the girl in the next room hoping that she could understand.

“Who ever you are I invite you.” The woman laying on the floor by the wall told the vampire to enter.

“Thanks.” Angel ran through the living room to the bed room where the screaming was coming from. “Buffy oh god…get off her!” He yelled as the sight of the man raping the young girl filled his eyes.

“Buffy!” Dawn yelled and ran towards the bed room door.

“No Dawn don’t…Xander stop her.” Faith yelled.

Xander grabbed Dawn by the arm just before she made it to the open door. “Don’t look.” He told her.

“Who are you?” Faith’s father yelled at the man standing over them.

“You’re end. I told you I was going to kill you” Buffy said looking at Angel.


Angel vamped out and grabbed the man by the throat pulling him off the child. Buffy cried as he was pulled from her center in haste. The pain was welcomed knowing he would never touch her again. Angel lifted the man over his head and threw him into the far wall of the bed room. Buffy put her robe on as she ran out of the room.

In the living room, they all could hear Faith’s father crying in fear as Angel beat him into a bloody mess. They all knew that the vampire was enjoying him self but they all knew he would never kill the man. Buffy ran to Giles and buried her face into his stomach; she stood and cried for a few minutes before turning to Faith.

“Oh Faith…I never knew.” She left the safety of the man she was pressed against. She walked over to Faith that looked very much like her as a child and hugged the other slayer.

“I always wished I had a life like yours but you know it really wasn’t that great.” Faith told Buffy.

“I know all the fighting…but strangely I understand you better. How you push people away and well, the whole bad ass thing…kinda goes with the whole ‘my father is an ass hole’ deal. To put it lightly.” Buffy told Faith.

“Yeah and I get you…the whole ‘I have to look after everyone’ and the way you felt when they would fight. No wonder you don’t like men they kept leaving didn’t they?” She took Buffy’s hand as they both fell to the floor with a loud thud. Giles ran to the two girls to checked their pulses. As he reached them, they both faded away. The scoobies stood and looked at the place where the two girls once laid.

Angel came out of the bed room with a huge smile across his face. “As Faith would say ‘I kicked that ass’!” He looked around the room not seeing the girls. “The girls are gone…but you all know that. Where did they go?” Every one in the room shrugged their shoulders and started to file out of the house. “So we’re not going to find them?” Angel asked as he too left the house.

“I think the spell has ran its course.” Willow said as she slipped into the back seat with Dawn and Xander.

“How can you tell?” Cordy claimed in to the front seat with Giles and Angel.

“Well it always ends this way doesn’t it? I mean a spell is cast and we fight then everything stops. Then we go home.” She put most of their fights against evil in a nutshell.

“Do you think they’re in they’re own bodies?” Dawn asked as she scouted closer to Willow.

“Hey let’s call…” Cordy’s cell phone rang right as she was about to suggest to call Fred.

“Hello?” She answered the phone.

“Cordy they’re back!” Fred yelled into the phone.

“Great we’ll be home in about three hours.” She told Fred. “You know I would like to just once get a suggestion. Every time I have an idea it’s cut short by some one else doing it first.” Cordelia complained.

They all made their way back into the Summers home. Dawn was the first to run up to Buffy and Faith. She took both of the girls in her arms and hugged them tight. “I thought I would never get you back…and raising you both wasn’t an option at all!” She said as she pulled away.

“Well I’m glade to be back and I’m glade to be in my own body…damn I’m hungry!” Faith said as she pulled Dawn into the Kitchen.

Buffy turned to her watcher with a smile. “How did you figure out that I was in Boston and Faith was in L.A.?”

“I didn’t. It was Faith who contacted me and it was her who figured out that you where in Boston.” He told the older slayer.

“Wait Faith called you from L.A.?” Buffy was rubbing her head.

“Yes, she tried to call your first watcher and when she was told that he was dead she thought to call here.” The watcher filled her in.


“And then she called me, but Willow had already thought of calling us in.” Angel piped in.

“Yes, but it was Faith who told Giles to ask me where the house was. You see she knew I wasn’t there at the time but I still had the memory.” Dawn said as they both walked into the living room hand in hand.

Buffy stood smiling while everyone told the story. “So Faith figured out the spell and called the troops. Now we’re back…and you’re holding my sisters hand.” Buffy looked at the two smiling at each other.

“Faith you are so a scoobies and part of this family and always will be!” Buffy smiled at her sister slayer.

“Cool so I can date Dawn and maybe get married, oh and Buffy Dawn and I can have a child and well name her after Xena’s horse. What was his name…Argo?” Faith asked Buffy while chasing her through the house.

“Oh things will never be the same…but that’s another story.” Tara said to her self as she left the house.

THE END
**The coin used in this fic is a Celtic myth. It is said that a witch could hide from other witches long enough to get away. But as far as truth to it…well finding the Holly Grail would be easier.**
