Chapter 5
The Black Rose
Chapter 5
Faith juggled her time between her friendship with the slayer and her business. Keeping both firmly at arms length away from each other, neither side getting suspicious of her involvement with both good and evil. She had managed so far to keep Saskia’s whereabouts quiet, but she knew the time was coming for her to make a choice.
The demons wouldn’t believe she was on assignment for to much longer, Saskia ran the underground for Faith and things had been proving difficult for her lately in getting some of that work done. The slayer had been proving herself more than worthy of her duties, already the vampire population in Sunnydale had decreased dramatically by her hand.
Faith had learnt through her time with Alex and Buffy that they had a lot of outside help, they had their own little gang of scoobies lead by her watcher. She had been lucky so far in that the vamps she had encountered when she was with the slayer were all low rank nobodies. None of them had recognised Faith for who she was; head of the underworld. She sat in her office looking out the window, to the darkness beyond as she called Tom.
“I have news on Saskia.”
“Yeah?” Tom was Saskia’s head vamp, he had been keeping the gangs in relative order while she was supposedly away.
“The slayer got her, last night after she’d debriefed me. I guess that makes you head vamp now.”
“I guess it does. Some of the guys are gonna want the slayers blood for this.”
“I know but none of you are any match for her right now, we need to weaken her. We need to get to those she loves, hurt them. If she’s busy tending wounded loved ones she won’t be at her best. Agreed?”
“That’s why you’re the boss. Who? Where?”
“I know they’ll be in the Bronze tonight, I’ll be sure to point them in your direction. Remember no killing not yet, we want to weaken her first.”
“Yes boss.”
Faith hung up hoping that this would be one occasion that Tom would follow her orders. She had never trusted his loyalty to her, he had on one occasion expressed verbally to her that she had no place among them. His insubordination had caused him to lose an arm by Faith's hand. Only Saskia had saved him, his fear of her outweighed his distaste of Faith. But she knew Tom didn’t like that Saskia took her orders from Faith.

Buffy and Alex finished their meal and took a leisurely walk to the Bronze where they had earlier arranged to meet Faith for a drink. “I don’t feel to good.” Alex rubbed her stomach.
“Awe baby. The food wasn’t that bad.”
“No it's not the food, something inside.” She pointed lower than her stomach.
“You pregnant?” Buffy laughed, bringing a smile to Alex’s face.
“Not unless you got magic fingers.” Alex let out a sigh “Looks like we could be queuing a while. Lets just go home, text Faith tell her we couldn’t get in.”
The doorman recognised the pair immediately, signally them to the front of the queue, he unhooked the rope barricade and let them inside.
“Looks like Faith knew it was going to be busy. Tell you what one drink I’ll make some excuse and we’ll go home. Ok?”
“Ok.”
Faith watched them enter from the balcony “They’re here.” She turned to Tom “You know what to do, wait till they leave the club.” Tom nodded and stepped back into the shadows, leaving Faith to watch the pair at the bar.
Buffy spotted Faith watching them, she smiled and nodded as they locked eyes over the crowed room. Faith waved for them to join her in the balcony seats.
“Hey. Believe it or not it's actually quieter up here. You enjoy your meal?”
“Yeah, it was good.” Buffy answered
“You alright Alex? You look a little pale, even in here.”
“My stomachs a bit off, I’ll be fine.”
“We’re just gonna have these and get home, sorry.”
“Don’t worry about it, got my eye on a nice little red head over in the corner there. I’m sure she wouldn’t mind keeping me company.” Faith flashed a cheeky smile.
Buffy looked to the direction Faith had nodded “Not bad. Be careful though. I saw a few vamps in the queue outside, so I’ll bet there's more than a few in here tonight.”
“Always careful nowadays thanks to you.” Faith smiled. “Time I put this body into action. I’ll call you tomorrow let you know how I scored.”
Buffy and Alex watched Faith confidently approach the red head in the corner of the room, a few minutes later Faith was at the bar with the woman on her arm. “Come on, lets get you home.”
They walked slowly back along the main road, unaware that a group of vampires were tracking them. Buffy was attention switching between Alex’s’ stomach cramps and looking out for available cabs. Spotting someone across the street leaving a cab Buffy whistled and waved trying to get his attention. “Wait here I’ll go get him.”
Buffy had to stand in front of the cab to get the drivers attention, receiving a mouth full of abuse about being a stupid blonde from his window. Finally after paying more than double the fare and cash upfront he agreed to take her and Alex home. The ride home taken care of she turned to call Alex over. Her stomach overturned as she looked up and down the street not seeing her anywhere “Wait here.”
“Hurry up lady, I don’t got all night.”
“You got your money, just hang on.” Buffy ran back to the spot she had left Alex. Adrenaline coursing through her veins as she couldn’t find her. Pulling out her cell she called her, as her eyes looked frantically for any sign of her. Hearing Alex’s ring tone faintly she the tune down one of the alley ways.
She found the cell laying on the floor, as she bent down to pick it up she heard Alex calling to her. Running further into the darkness she saw four figures crowded round, kicking at a mound on the floor. “Hey!”
The foursome turned, hissing and growling at her. “Slayer.” Three of them rushed her, wishing minutes later they hadn’t as they now were dust in the breeze.
“Buffy.” The mound on the floor unfurled, reaching to the slayer.
“Alex!” The fourth vamp laughed, turned and ran into the blackness beyond.
She held Alex in her arms, wiping blood gently from her face, as tears rolled down her own. “I'm here baby, stay still.” Grabbing her cell she called an ambulance, trying desperately to keep calm.
“Buffy.” Pain shot through her body as she spoke “I love you.”
“No, no stay with me baby.” She gently rocked back and forth cradling Alex closer to her “Wake up, you can’t leave me. Talk to me Lexy.” The rocking caused Alex to cough hard spraying Buffy with blood. “Oh fuck. Listen that’s the medic’s they’ll be here soon. Hang on baby.”
“I… I love you Buffy.” Alex passed out with the pain.

“Is that you’re cell vibrating against me?” The red head lifted her head from its nestled position in Faith's neck, She smirked “Feels good.”
Faith shifted position slightly as they danced pushing the vibrating cell into the red heads crotch. “That better?” A low groan from the woman in her arms made her smile. “How about we go somewhere a little less crowded and I give you a little more than a cheap thrill?” Not waiting for an answer she took the woman by her hand and led her through the crowd to her private quarters.
Faith’s cell woke her early in the morning, sleepily reaching over the red head to answer it. “Yeah?”
“Faith it's Buffy. I'm at the hospital with Alex.”
“What? Is she ok?”
“No,” Buffy swallowed hard holding back the tears “She's in a coma, I only left her for a second… she's in a bad way… I didn’t know who to call.”
“I’ll be there in fifteen.”
“Faith I need some things, from the house. Change of clothes…erm”
“I’ll get them, Buffy she’s in the best hands.”
“Yeah I know, just if I hadn’t left her…”
“It's not your fault B.” Faith shook the red head awake “I’ll be there soon.”
Faith hung up, getting out of bed she gathered up the red heads clothes and tossed them onto the bed next to her “You have to go now.”
“What's wrong? I thought we had a good time.”
“Yeah we did.” Faith walked naked across to the bathroom “You just gotta go now, I got something I need to take care of.”
“Can I see you again?” The red head was up and beginning to dress. She could see from the serious look on Faith's face that she shouldn’t push her to far.
“Maybe. Leave your number on the pad over there.” She closed and locked the bathroom door behind her.
