Things that go bump in the night

Raya stirred feeling the sun shining through the window. She could feel Faith behind her. Sitting up she looked around the room. Taken aback when she realized it was daytime and…she was seeing in color? As a wolf she could see in nothing but black and white…looking down a smile broke out across her face at seeing her hand. Not a paw but I hand in the morning sun. Smiling she turned to see Faith watching her with sleepy eyes. A soft smile covered her features when she reached up and brushed a bit of Raya's hair out of her face.



“Good morning Ray…you look beautiful.” Faith had woken up not long before Raya and after initial shock had worn off she had just laid there studying the tall woman. Shed studied the scars that wrapped themselves around her back. The Egyptian style tattoos…the adorable way her ears would shift around at the smallest sounds.



“You did it…you accepted me.” Raya had never felt this loved. In that moment she was happier than she had ever been in her life.



Smiling at her Faith leaned in and kissed her, rolling her onto her back and ground her hips into Raya.

“Good God they’re at it again.” Dawn buried her face in her hands. “I mean seriously I'm as happy as anyone that they worked things out but did they have to do it all night and that fucking loud? I have a damn test today.”



“So…whose the guy. WAIT isn’t Raya a wolf during the day??” Xander asked and immediately cringed at the sharp glares from Willow and Tara.



That’s not cool Xan; maybe she got Faith to accept her? I mean there was plenty of praise goin around last night so maybe?” As everyone at the table became intent on the food in front of them Willow decided to change the subject. “Anyways…I found this thing on Skin-Walkers its called Moon Fever’… I can’t figure a lot of whatever it’s saying out but I think we should talk to Raya bout it when they get down here.”



“Morning guys” Faith said as she rounded the entrance of the dining room followed closely by Raya, everyone broke into smiles when they saw her for the first time in human form in daylight.



“Hey guys…long night?” Dawn asked staring boldly at Faith and Raya. Raya blushed while Faith just smiled.



“Naw slept like a baby.” Faith sat down and Raya sat next to her, neither girl seemed aware that there were other people on the room as they sat there eating and smiling shyly at one another.



Finally unable to stand it any longer Anya opened her mouth. “So are you guys married now or what?” She sat waiting “Because you can’t get married or ‘mated’ or whatever before Xander and I do. It’s just not cool.”



Faith choked on her drink at the ‘M’ word. Casting a sidelong glance at Raya she saw the wolf staring intently at her plate. She knew Raya would do whatever she wanted but at that moment she knew she wanted to spend her life with Raya, life was short…may as well get a jump on things. Smiling she leaned in and kissed Raya’s cheek softly.



“Yes were mated.” Faith took another bite out of her eggs. Pleased when Raya smiled softly and took another drink of her coffee.



“So have you told her?” Anya asked. Raya narrowed her eyes at her old friend. She loved the woman and back before her latest Rip Van Winkle stint they had had a lot of fun tormenting humans. But she would never go against Anya, the woman was good, and what she had done for Raya would never be forgotten. Sighing she shook her head ‘No’.



Grimacing at the look she got from Faith that clearly said she would be getting a talking –too later.



Anya narrowed her eyes and broke into a language that no one at the table but Raya understood. Momentarily stunned that the ex-demon remembered the Egyptian she had taught her nearly six-hundred years ago.



“You have to tell her Raya.”



“I will Anyanka; we just got together last night. What do you think I was going to tell her while I was…you know? Besides I don’t see you telling Xander all about your demon days.”



“My demon days don’t involve a child Raya, they don’t involve Moon Fever which by the way Willows going to talk to you about. Raya if anyone would understand about Horus, Faith would.”



“When did you get so understanding?”



“Oh this isn’t normal. I’ve just known you a long time. Besides you deserve to be happy and the only way that’s going to happen is if you’re honest with her.” With that Anya switched back to English and looked around the table at the confused faces.



“What? Cant have a conversation with my friend without you all getting weird.” Anya turned to Xander and kissed him softly on the cheek. Standing she took her plate into the kitchen.



Raya turned to look at Faith who was studying her with intensity, trying to decide if she knew the wolf at all.



*Later that day*



Raya leaned back against the head board, her arms around Faith as they both were lost in thought. Idly wondering how she was going to explain to Buffy that the bed was broken from last nights activities. Her thoughts were interrupted when Faith turned to her.



“Raya what aren’t you telling me?” Faith looked up into the face that she had come to love.



“I’m afraid if I tell you, you won’t want me anymore.” Raya hadn’t the slightest clue where that snippet of honesty had come from.



“There’s not much chance of that happening. We both have pasts Ray; I’m only asking for what you’re okay with telling me.” Faith leaned into her arms. Savoring the scent of sandalwood and roses, and something uniquely Raya.



“Do you remember when I said id woken once before, after I was cast out of Egypt?” At Faiths nod she continued. “I don’t know how or why I woke up. But it was here in Sunnydale. Only before Sunnydale WAS Sunnydale. I’m guessing about one hundred years before the English came to this land. I was taken in by a tribe. They assumed because of my ability to change into a wolf that I was a holy guardian sent to protect t hem.



I did for nearly twelve years. In that time. I took a mate. The Chiefs daughter, Yakumut. While we were together we had two sons. Horus and Trayja.” Feeling a wave of sadness at the memory of her sons. “Life was good. Then one night, about two years after we had come in contact with the Spaniards I was out hunting with the other men.



On our way back home I sensed something wasn’t right. Turns out I was right. Vampires had invaded the village. Only I didn’t know that was what they were. They killed nearly everyone. Stealing away some of the children and women. I found my youngest dead in my lodge. I followed Yakumut's scent to a cave where I found her and my son…she had been turned. Horus hadn’t. So I killed them all. Yakima wouldn’t give him to me. She blamed me for the death of our people. I managed to get Horus and we ran. I didn’t go back to the village. Afraid that she would follow me. It was daylight so I was in my wolf form. I did not know she couldn’t follow me. I ran with Horus for days. Until I think after nine days I found Anyanka. Or she found me. I do not know which. She was there with some other demons. And we traveled with them for many days. Until I convinced her to take Horus away. Somewhere safe. Once she did what I asked, I left. I returned to the village and tried to convince the survivors to fight. But they to blamed me. So instead I returned to the tomb where I was found and slept. Next thing I know I’m climbing through wreckage and I see you.” Raya turned and looked down at Faith. When Faith turned and looked up at her with so much anger in her eyes Raya forced herself not to shrink away.



“It wasn’t your fault. It wasn’t up to you to protect them; you are not to blame for what happened…I’m sorry about your sons…and…Yaku...mut?” Raya nodded and smiled.



Leaning down she kissed Faith and rolled over so she was on top of Faith. Tenderly kissing the slayer she bit Faiths bottom lip softly, moving down her neck and gently bit and sucked the smooth expanse of flesh, smiling when she felt Faith press her hips into hers and moan softly.



“Oh god Ray, you better finish what you start” Faith ran her hands under Raya’s pants and cupped her ass and grinded against her. Horny as hell when she heard Raya growl softly she hurriedly work the pants down her legs and reached down and cupped Raya’s pussy, moaning when she felt how wet the wolf already was. Spreading her fingers into a ‘V’ she rubbed Raya’s clit between them, holding onto the woman when she began to shake and grind against her hand. Deciding she needed to taste her she urged the wolf up her body until she was straddling Faiths head. Looking down at her mate confused for a second she nearly howled out her delight when Faith speared her tongue into Raya, thrusting it in and out, moving with the woman when she began eagerly grinding down. Tossing her head back Raya’s mouth opened in a silent scream as her body shook her release.



Smirking, Faith looked up with hooded eyes when Raya looked down at her, another surge of lust filled her when Raya suddenly moved off her and pulled faith onto her lap, thrusting first two fingers, then three into Faiths hot tight pussy, thrusting faster and harder and Faith rode her hand, Faith grasped the head board and jerked, crying out when Raya’s fingers hit that spot inside her again and again. Suddenly it became too much and she claimed Raya’s lips in a hot searing kiss, clawing at her back as she went over the edge.



“You know…I think were going to have to buy Buffy a new bed.” Faith said against Raya’s neck as she looked at the cracked headboard. Feeling Raya laugh softly as she nodded. They lay down and sleep found them quickly.





Looking up at the window, which had the wolf and slayer inside. He carefully kept himself in the shadows. Studying the house. It had taken him a long time to track down the skin-walker when he had heard of her wakening. Now that he had found her he did not know what to do. He had waited for this moment for nearly all his life.
