Happy To Die For You: The Immortal

"Your real mom?" Jessie helps her over a fence,"just to be clear how many moms do you have exactly?"

"Well Faith is my birth mother,Buffy is my sort of like adoptive mother and Sammy is my real,blood mother too."

Jessie nods,"Uh huh."

Kristin flicks her nose playfully, "Still confused?"

She shrugs,kicking a rock around the dirt,"only alot."

"To put things simple I come from Faith's and Sammy's loins. Buffy's the one who's helped Faith raise me though."

Jessie slows her long strides to a slow walk,thinking hard about her beautiful girlfriend's predicaments. "So I'm sorry if I seem nosy but, well it doesn't really seem like Faith and Buffy are,you know. I mean it's pretty obvious they love each other,but I'm just not sure that they're in love with each other you know?"

"Yeah,I know. Faith still loves Sammy too much to let go and that pisses Buffy off pretty bad sometimes,especially when Faith starts getting all distant and broody. Hey?"

"Yeah?"

"We're at the park." Kristin points at the empty set of swings,"lets play." she rockets over to them.

"Oooo,that sounds so naughty." Jessie rubs the goosebumps on her forearm,feeling that intoxicating buring feeling in the pit of her stomach.
"What exactly are we playing?" she takes the next empty seat next to Kristin.

"What do you want to play?" Kristin follows along,"we're all alone."

"Damn baby,in public? Faith must be rubbing off on you. But I like it,you're too modest."

Kristin laughs,punching her halfheartedly."Keep it in your pants. I just want to sit here with you and watch the stars J."

She draps her arms around her shoulders,scooting the swing as close to her as it will go without snapping. "That's perfect."

"Ahhh,look at the little love birds out for a midnight stroll. You must have a deathwish."

Jessie and Kristin jump to their feet,completely startled and freaked by the voice of possibly a drunken man. Jessie spots the man first, eyes going wide and slackjaw when she finds herself looking at man with a very deformed forehead,yellow eyes and very sharp fangs.

"Vampire." she tells Kristin,who rolls her eyes at her back.

"Nah you think J? What the hell do we do?"

"Aren't you the immortal slayer? Protect the damsel in distress,which is me just so we're clear on that." Kristin smirks at her.

"Damsel in distress I don't have a fucking stake with me. Wasn't really planning on killing anything tonight. I thought mom handled it."

"Well I guess she didn't...look." she points at three more vampires behind the first,two more standing behind the slide. "Hope your marshall arts are up to date babe."

"Did I mention by any chance that I was whacked by a thirty pound door on the head and am still slightly disoreinted? Have any other bright ideas?" She asks,backing away slowly,eyes glued to the vampire in front of her and slayer senses targeted on the rest.

"I think I have a fairly good one up my sleeve."

"Oh yeah? What's that?"

"First we slap our knees twice,call upon the mighty gods that gave Rambo his powers,turn into superheros like the green latern and wonderwoman and then we kill the vamps,have victory sex on the roof of Mr.Gibson's car then kill the science teacher."

"I like the sex part."

"Yeah me too." Jessie nearly jumps out of her skin hearing one of the vampires growl at them. "Or we can just bolt."

"Bolt then." Kristin grabs her wrist and they both launch full speed into the park,ducking swings,benches,and boulders to get away from the now group of nine very hungry looking vampires.



Faith tramples down the stairs,leaving a small trail of blood from her fist all the way down to the living room. Looking around,she hears Buffy come in theough the front door. Clentching her hurt hand she takes in a deep breath,trying to stop the little voice in her head that's begging her to break her other fist on Buffy's face.

Buffy enters the living room like rather beaten and upset. She doesn't seem to notice Faith as she is too busy gawking at the blood on the floor. Following with her eyes,it leads her to a pair of very,very scary calm looking pair of honey brown eyes. "Faith,I thought you were going to bed." she drags over to the recliner and lets herself drop onto it. "What happened to your hand?"

"It ran into the wall." There's no humor in her voice,just ice."You hit Kristin. Why?"

"She was mouthing off to me like she was to you."

"She didn't mouth off to me,she was worried. Besides I would never ever lay a hand on her like that Buffy." She grounding her teeth and she's starting to feel them chip a little. "If you have a problem with me talk to me about it,if you're angry take it out on a vampire,not on my daughter."

"Oh!" Buffy is up and in her face in less than three steps. "So now I can't discipline her because I'm taking it out on her all of a sudden. No Faith,if you have a problem face it off with me,don' try to turn it around and make me look like the bad guy here." she holds her stare with same amount of intensity if not more. "Ever since you found that damn godforsaken picture you've been fighting with me,getting all defensive over any little thing. I'm trying here Faith,I really am but you're not making it too easy."

"Well life isn't easy B,I thought what with you being a slayer and all you might know that by now. And I'm not turning this around on you, because you did hit her and with no excuseable explanation. So excuse me if I don't like you hitting my daughter,I don't condone child abuse."

"Why do you keep say 'my daughter' Faith?" her voice is softer now.

"Our daughter." Faith sighs,she has been cutting off and it's not Buffy's fault. She reaches out,rubbing her B's forearm tentavely. "I'm sorry Buffy. I know I've been acting all closed off and shit lately. It's just that...that picture brought back so many memories. As it weren't enough that I have her clone running the house everyday,and then that-"she swallows hard,trying to take back the tears that are sure to spill.
"I'm sorry. I really am."

"I know you are Faith,so am I. I've been a real bitch about this. I'm sorry." she hugs her neck,putting her nose to Faith's and wallowing in her now soft gentle expression. Faith hugs her waist,sighing out all her problems for the moment. Pulling back she tangles her fingers with Buffy's,somewhat a trace of a smile coming along.

"Can we go to bed B? I'm pretty wiped." She whispers against her lips.

"Sure. Shouldn't we go have a big group hug with Kristin and Jessie though? You know Kris hates it when we argue. And I'm guessing the whole punching the wall to death thing didn't help."

"Nope it didn't. I think I might have scared her. She told me not to kill you." Faith pouts ,"Like I can kill you or something. You know that girl is way too over dramatic." Faith leads them up the stairs. "I think she's being influenced by you way too much. Maybe we should get Spike to toughen her up a bit." she suggest.

"Pfft! Right,there's no way living dead boy is laying a finger on her if he wants to stay alive...or dead...or alive...or you know,whatever he-you know what I mean." she punches her arm.

"You're such a dork B." Faith giggles with her infamous smirk in place. "You even confuse yourself. I'd hate to be in your head."

Buffy feels a weight come off her shoulders,Faith's teasing is always a sign that she's relaxing and she loves it even though she'd rather die a million and one times by getting eaten by rabid bunnies before she admits it. "Do you think rabid bunnies would eat people?"

Faith's eyebrows shot up in to her hairline,her face red with the laughter she's trying to surpress. "Definately having a Buffy moment. How's that little world inside your head B?"

"Faith I'm serious."

"Haaaa! Hahahah!" She bends over smacking her knees,tears streaming down her face.

"What?" Buffy glares at her,"I am."

"I...oh god!...I hahaha! I know!" she falls to her knees,punching the floor with her uninjured hand. "You're serious!" she squeaks,as if it were the funniest thing in the world.

"Whatever. We'll see if you'll be laughing when you get attacked by one." she turns the knob on the door to Kristin's room.

"I think I will be laughing." she chokes,holding her sides as she rolls around on the white carpet of the hall.

"Stupid." Buffy insults her,"Hey Kristin we wanna-"she looks inside to find the room empty,the curtain by the window flapping about in the wind,"talk to you." She whirls around to Faith who is using the wall to get to her feet,"Faith,Kristin and Jessie are gone."

The smile on her face flashes to a deep meanacing frown so fast,Buffy wonders if maybe the little people in her head don't just have a mask for each and everyone of Faith's emotion which they simply flash whenever need be. Faith shoves the door open,leaving another hole in the wall when the doorknob hits it. "What the hell is her problem?!" she shouts running and leaping straight out of the window. "Buffy I'm ganna check the mall!" she shouts over her shoulder.

"Damn she's crazy." Buffy flys out of the room and down the stairs,grabbing her jacket on the way out and heading the opposite direction Faith went,to the park and high school.




"Hah! Jesus that was wild!" Jessie pants,her body slapped up against a tree and Kristin. "I think we lost them."

"Yeah,gulp,sure we did." Kristin looks over her shoulder on alert,her senses tell her otherwise. "Lets go Jessie we have to get home."

"Hold up there supergirl. We just ran like four miles in less than twenty minutes,let me catch my breath."

"You'll be catching so much more than that." Kristin shreiks,the lead vampire is airborne and about to crush her and Jessie.
His long nails are outstretched and his goonies are already there licking their chops. Just as he is about to land,a small black blur slams into him midair like a truck,the vampire slams into a tree with a sick yet sweet poofing sound that is the great melody of a vampire being dusted.

The figure in black stands,flipping long hair over her shoulder. The hand with the stake is twitching but other than that she is perfectly still. Kristin can tell she's looking at her,despite her face being hidden by a curtain of hair.

"It's her! Lets get the hell out of here!" One the vampires makes a run for the woody part of the park,the others not far behind.

'"Heh!" the girl twirls the stake in her fingers,shoving it into the sleeve of her trenchcoat. "I still got it." She turns to fully face the shivering girls by the oak tree. Recognizing Kristin she resists going over there to hug her. Instead she sits on her haunches and studies them with great intent. "You girls shouldn't be out here."

Kristin feels Jessie move next to her,probably to go thank the girl that just saved their stupid sorry asses. "Uh,yeah,thanks. I'm Kristin,this is my girlfrriend Jessie." She inches towards her with Jessie,the girl still on her haunches watching every move they make like a hawk. She should probably be running,her slayer sense don't sense anything bad,however she has this feeling that's coming from her,like she knows her,like she's safe around her no matter what.

"Kristin," the girl says the name almost lovingly,her perfect articulation making it sound like honey,thick and rich. "Named after your mother?"

"Yeah,"she nods,this girl is very interesting indeed. She offers hand to her,and she takes it. Kristin gasp,she's very soft and very gentle.
For a brief second the girl looks her directly in the eye,and what she sees surprises her,her eyes,they're so intense,so alive,and so loving,almost like-...her thought are cut of by her warm voice.

"Well Kristin I think you should head home. In this town the streets after dark are no place for a pair of cute little girls like yourselves."

"Yeah," Kristin says,her disappointment leaking into her voice as the girl's black hair flys back into her face,covering her eyes in a curtain of black.

The girl gets up,moving so fluidly,with the grace of a professional dancer,so perfectly that it's beautiful,the enbodiment of human art.
'You're in trouble."

"What?" Kristin asks,a little too breathless for her liking.

The girl points behind her back,a smirk plstered on her lips. At the same time she hears Faith shout out over the park. "Your mom's here."

Faith stops in her tracks,her heart stops,and her body paralyzes,it's that girl again,and she's with Kristin and Jessie. "Hey you!" she charges towards them.

"I'll see you around kid." the girl leaps into a tree,disappearing into the shadows with great ease.

"Wait! How did you know-Oh! Crap!" Kristin kicks the dirt with the toe of her converse,she didn't even get her name.

"Kristin," Faith pulls her into a crushing hug,smoothing her hair away from her face and looking her over.

"I'm fine mom."

"Good. Now what the hell were you thinking!?" Jessie flinches,Faith is cool,but so damn scary when she's mad. "The two of you!"

"We-we werejust going out for a little walk mom. Don't get all horomonal on us."

"I'll do more than that." Faith glances around the trees.

"What is it Ms.Lehane?" Jessie goes for the sweet talk.

"That girl,did she hurt you?"

"More like saved our lives from a horible-ompff!" Jessie recieves the wrong end of Kristin's fist.

"Damn it Jessie." she sighs facing Faith again. "We were being chased by nine vamps,we got cornered here and that girl came flying out of nowhere and saved us."

Faith gives them a look that says 'You're ganna wish those vampires ate you by the time I'm done with you. "Do you have a fucking deathwish littl girl? What if that girl had tried to hurt you?"

"But she didn't mom. Actually she was really pleasant,a real smooth talker. It was weird though,cause I felt like I was safe with her. And then she also said 'your mom is here' right before she took off. Do you know her?"

Faith glares at the dirt,her forehead furrowed with the frown on her face. "I don't know. Did you see her face?"

Kristin remembers the way she had looked at her with those startling yet tender eyes. "I just got a glimpse."

"Okay." Faith looks them over once again,"well lets go. Buffy is going to be very upset with you two,I am.You can forget about sleepovers for the next two months."

"Mom!"

"Don't mom me young lady."

"Mummy." Jessie pouts,working the puppy eyes mojo.

"Don't you mummy me either. Lets go."

"Okay." they both sigh in defeated unity,following Faith through the playground.

She walked in complete silence to her destination,her mind working overload. When she had gone out tonight the last thing she expected was to bump into Faith. They had fought,well Faith had fought,she just let her whoop her around,and then she had fled to keep from doing something insane,it was too soon. She decided she would never bump into Faith at a park,but sure enough she runs into Kristin and Jessie,her little girlfriend about to be eaten as a midnight snack by vampires.

Kristin. The girl could have a great future ahead of her,unfortunately her destiny was picked out for her before she was even born,the price of being the child of the slayer and the immortal. But that wasn't the only factor. It was written in stone that
she would close off all the hellmouths and destroy the demon noble family forever. That might not set too well with all the monsters and vamps in SunnyDale.

"I wonder how that's going down,that brat couldn't even fight off a couple of vamps,let alone the demon nobles."

She spun around,her stake halfway to a kill before she remembered where she was. She glared at her so called associate. "Next time I think I'll just stake you. And yes,she will destroy them with the slayers help."

"My sweet little angel,I am a god,do you think a stake would do any damage to me?"

"Pfft,yeah sure. That's what the last guy said,he's dead. Why are you reading my thoughts? I can just block you out." she does just that as a demonstration. "See Dragu,Dracula,whatever the hell your name is."

Drakeus raises a neatly trimmed eyebrow,but there is a permanet scowl on his face."Figures I brought back an insolent like you."

"Figures a bastard like you wouldn't take a hint when your brother got ki-" Drakeus impales his sword through the palm of her
left hand making her drop the stake. His eyes light up as the blood runs down her fingers and drips to the floor.

"You killed Jacob today," Drakeus brings his face inches from hers,"and you saved that cursed rat from my minions,"he yanks the
sword out running his tongue over the tip,"what the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Bleeding." she replies,her voice so much more sinster that his.

"You'll bleed alot more if you don't get that bitch and her kid to me you-"

She bodyslams him onto a tombstone,keeping her hurt hand clentched tightly around his throat. Drakeus squirms but the pressure on his windpipe only gets stronger. She leans over his face,making eye contact. "You listen to me," she snarls lowly,her eyes
narrowed and burning with an intense rage. "I can snap your neck like a fucking twig. You Drakeus are beneath me. Think I'm scared of you or your two timing father? Why don't you try a stunt like that again and I'll show you something to be afraid of."
She tosses him aside,watching him slide down the wall of the building. She starts gliding away but Drakeus grabs her wrist.

"Damn bitch! Have you no loyalty? Your family is a noble." His face is glowing with an unholy glower,his teeth protuding from
his mouth as deadly sharp fangs.

"The last guy who called me that ended up with a very big splinter in his left ventricle. I think his name was Jacob." she smirks,flicking the blood on her wrist at his feet.

"Where are you going?!"

"Goodbye for now,don't do anything to piss me off."

Drakeus rubs his sore neck,"Well then lets see what you think about my paying the slayer a visit."


"Jessie," Kristin moans,her fingers tangled in silky hair,bringing the lips that are devouring her deeper into her flesh.

"What is it babe?" Jessie nips at her neck,hands rubbing up and down her smooth stomach.

"What...what if my mom-uh!-what if,if.," Damn! She can't even form a complete sentence. Her mind is so fogged with desire,with lust,that's the only thing that's understandable in a bliss like this. Jessie knows how to turn her from a badass leather loving
cool kid to a piece of quivering jello,she knows just how to touch,where to kiss. "damn," her head tosses back,panting at how worked up she's getting. Jessie's fingers leave a trail of fire down her sides,in her skin,and the only way to extinguish it is by being touched again. "Jessie...my mom...what if-if she hears us?" Yay! A complete thought expressed openly. "Ahhhh," Jessie
presses her knee to het center,moving it in a slow tantalizing circular motion.

"Mom...work," Jessie pants,getting so close to the edge just from hearing Kristin's already smokey voice become huskier with the
pleasure laced into it. It's a feeling that's all around them,engulfing them,swallowing them,surronding them,she can almost taste it in the air. Using her tongue as a pen,she draws little hearts on her collarbone,grinding her knee into her softly but
with enought force to cause a reaction.

"Faith...is...here." She's so close,her body is already trembling with anticpation as this promises to be one of the best ever
climax with clothes on in the world record book,but Jessie pulls away,leaving her in tiny whimpers and almost in pain from the
retrieveing.

"Faith is here?" She seems almost hysteric the way she scrambles off the bed and buttons her pants,smoothing out her dishiveled
hair.

"Jessie?"

"What?" she jumps,looking very startled but she probably notices it's just Kristin,she gives her a cute little grin sitting on
the edge of the bed,looking at her watch the ceiling with a stoic look on her face. "What is it babe?"

"Why are you so afraid of Faith?"

"I'm not afriad of you mom,"she sighs,looking down at the floorboards,"I just respect her alot because I know how much she loves
you and I know how much you love her. Plus,I wouldn't want her to make us stop seeing each other just because we mess wround.
Kristin you're the best thing that's happened to me in a very long time,and I love you very very much and what we have is beautiful and I cherish it. So I don't want to present the oppurtunity to anything or anyone to take that away from me."

Kristin sighs,but smiles happily holding Jessie's hand to her,kissing her knuckles,"I'm the lucky one,"she says truthfully. "so,
breakfast?"

Jessie helps her up from the bed,picking her up bridal style,planting sloppy wet kisses all over her face.

"Ewww,Jessie germs!" she giggles.

"You weren't complaining a minute ago." Jessie winks,jogging down the hall and into Faith's room. "Yo mummy we're hungry." she
drops Kristin on the bed jumping in next to her.

"Go away," Faithturns over,covering her head with a pillow.

"Come on! Breakfast,breakfast breakfast,breakfast!" she roots tugging on the blanket,"oufff!" she grunts,a pillow hitting the side of her head so hard that she falls of the bed momentarily stunned.

"How was that for breakfast?" Faith yawns,leaning up on her elbows glaring at the two giddy teenagers. "You two keep me up half the night looking for you,the other half I'm listening to your sex opera and trying to keep B off of me cause I'm beat and now you come bouncing on my bed ten mintues after I finally fall asleep...you're demon children."

"We live to torment you." Kristin smiles innocently.

"You won't be living much longer then. Where's B anyways?"

Kristin and Jessie tug on her pj pant until she too falls off the bed. "I think she was going to go see that guy Riely.

"Riely huh?" Faith motions for them to follow her out of the room and down to the kitchen.

"Yeah,she's having me transfered out of his class,she said you probably don't want him around me."

"Good. Here." she tosses them a box of cereal.

"What's this?" she eyes the poptarts in her hand.

"Don't even think about it tootsie,poptarts are mine. You and Jess get the cereal." she lifts herself onto the counter,biting into the poptart,making exaggerated munching and yummy sounds.

"You suck." Jessie glares at the fruitloops she's maunching on like they're evil.

"From what I heard last night,you suck too,and alot,and very good." Faith wiggles her brows. "don't ya little J?"

"Oh my god!" Jessie chokes on a fruitloop,falling to her knees coughing and sputtering.

"Look what you did! You killed my girlfriend with your pervertedness." Kristin blushes madly,patting the gaping Jessie's back.

"Whatever," Faith smirks,"and you little miss vocals,you might wanna tryout to be a soprano one in the symphony of destruction. Or one of those ladies that make the glass break when they sing,only you'll moan 'Oh Jessie,' instead."

Kristin feels a massive mirgane coming on. "I hate your ability to make me feel dirty and pathetic with just your words."

"Gosh!" Faith makes an exaggerated 'why' gesture. "Why must you be such a prune? Where did it come from? It didn't come from me,
it sure as hell didn't come from Sammy,no way in the seven dimensions of hell did it come from B. What gives?"

"I thought you said Sammy was like me in this-"

"No ma'am." Faith interupts her. "I said you were a romantic like Sammy. She wasn't a little merry go around like the rest of us girls,but she was still a seducing,teasing,make you wanna scream for mercy girl. Especially that one time on the beach."
Faith chuckles,"that was fun."

"Wow,the surprises just keep coming."


A loud explosion behind them sends them hurling into the wall. Wood,glass,and tile shatter into millions of pieces which fly around in the frenzied power of a strong wind blowing in through the hole

Through the settling debris Faith can see a man walking into the house. Squinting to get a btter look,her slayer shouts at her.
She staggers to her feet,blood falling into her eye from a cut over her temple. Checking around she sees Jessie and Kristin are okay.

"And here's one more little girl."

"Oh fuck no." Faith pales. She knows this guy only too well. The same brown hair only spiked now,the charming smile,the amber eyes,"Drakeus."

"Hmm. That's right slayer. I'm here to kill The One,"he says,leering at Kristin behind her.

There's something horribly wrong with this. Drakeus is a vampire,yet he came in uninvited,and it's daytime. Faith feels a permanet cold ice settle in her spine. "You won't touch her."

"We'll see slayer." He charges at her.
