Faith's POV
We walk down the street, hand in hand to Giles' place.
This is so incredible. Being here with B, being this happy and not having to worry about... well, anything. We don't have to be careful, we don't have to worry about her mom walking in on us naked in bed cause, you know, she already did that.
I stop and face B and she stops too.
"You know, I still can't get over how cool your mom was about the whole you and me thing."
She looks at me with a weirdly questioning look.
"Cool? You think she was cool with it? She freaked out."
"Well, yeah, at first but... I mean, once she got over the initial shock and everything, she was pretty cool."
She takes my other hand in hers and looks me in the eyes.
"Yeah she was, wasn't she?"
"The whole waffle breakfast thing was really cool. Your mom really knows how to make waffles doesn't she?"
"Yeah she does. It's like her super power or something."
We both chuckle.
"Well at least we're out now. No one left to tell and all that, we can be ourselves."
"Well yeah, sorta."
I let go of one of her hands and we start to walk to Giles' around the corner again.
"Sort of? What do you mean sort of?"
"Well we gotta tell the gang that we're back don't we?"
"I guess, although I'm betting Tara will figure it out the second we walk in the door."
Really?
"You think?"
"She knew how I felt about you before I did. Knowing we're back together will be a walk in the park. She'll know."
What about Willow?
"And Willow."
"Sorry?"
"Willow already knows. She sorta, came by last night, told me how you were."
"Is that why you came to see me last night? To see how I was?"
"No... Willow just, convinced me there are some things that are more important then being angry with you."
I stop and so does she.
"Like being in love with you."
I pull her to me and wrap my arms around her. She has this confused look on her face and it's like I know what she's thinking.
"It doesn't make me love you any less B. Willow just sorta, gave me a shove in the right direction."
Her frown turns upside down.
"You promise?"
I lean my head against hers.
"I promise. I came to you last night because I love you and no other reason okay?"
She looks at me silently for a brief moment before kissing me passionately.
"Okay."
I look up to Giles' place and take a deep breath.
"Are you ready for this B?"
She pulls back, staring lovingly at me.
"As long as you love me, I'm ready for anything."
"I guess we're ready then."
We walk up the stairs to Giles' place and go inside.
John's POV
Okay this is bad. This is really, really bad. I failed... again. I had her. I had the slayer in my clutches and she got away. Damn those slayers. Omega is not gonna be happy when he hears about this, which he'll be doing in a few minutes when I have to tell him about it. He's gonna have my head, or at least what's left of it when they sweep me off the floor.
I keep pacing back and forth in the waiting room just outside Omega's main chamber.
He's gonna kill me, I just know it.
The room itself is pretty simple, four walls made of brick, sometimes there's chairs, sometimes there aren't, today there isn't. It's very dark there are two very dim lamps on either side of the room.
I just know the second I walk through those doors I'm as good as dusted.
After a few more minutes of blind panic on my part one of the doors comes open and again Ramses peers out from behind it.
"His supreme evilness will speak with you now."
Oh great, here it goes... undead dead man walking.
I walk through the doors and the great hall seems more ominous than usual.
It seems darker somehow the chanting of his followers seems louder. I can't tell if that's a good thing or not.
I reach the end of the walkway and kneel in front of the dark cloak wearing vampire chanters surrounding his throne. The chanting comes to a halt and all I can think is...
I'm gonna die.
The cloaked vampires open a hole in their circle but don't leave like last time.
Probably so they can stop me from leaving while Omega rips my head off, not that I would. I have failed my master. He to whom I've pledged my unlife and for that I must die.
I look up as I hear massive footsteps coming toward me but quickly look down so I don't enrage him further.
He's gotten bigger. He's at least 10 feet tall now and gonna get bigger.
The footsteps stop just a couple steps away.
"I failed you master, again. I offer you my life in penance."
"Penance is not required."
What?
"Sire?"
"Penance is not needed. I have long since suspected that the prophecy could not be stopped, and as such have been preparing for the day when it came to pass. The time is close at hand. Two days hence I shall have the power to destroy the slayers."
Two days? What happens in...? Oh right.
"What do you wish me to do master? What can I do to serve you sire?"
"Go... go and find the slayers. Watch them, kill them if you can, but keep them busy. Keep them busy until Saturday, and then they shall die. Take as many of the men as you wish."
"I shall my lord. I shall bring you their heads on a stick."
"See that you do. Now leave my side."
I stand, never looking up at him and leave the great hall.
"Thank you sire."
The slayers have to die.
