The Next Day….

Buffy and Faith remained unscripted in order to prepare for their capture and kill. capture Gaby, and kill Ashley. simple plan really. Their secret headquarters remained up in a tree. Buffy made all kinds of homemade whips, and heated her chains in the fire so they were ready to be burned against the skind of a vampire at any given moment. Faith was still trying to figure a way out of the entire situation.

Faith: "Buffy..if we do this now there’s no turning back.."

Buffy: "Faith, we’re not going to kill anyone."

Faith: "We’re not?"

Buffy: "Oh, let me reword that. We’re not going to kill anyone that matters."

Faith: "Oh..B, please I don’t want us to go down in some stupid way.."

Buffy: "We’re slayers Faith. We were born for this. Now come on. The suns almost up."

Ashley was thinking at the front steps, readying herself for what she was about to do. Last nights affair with Spencer was replaying itself in her mind over and over.

Last Night.

Spencer: "Ashley you’ll get yourself killed! What if it doesn’t work? What if..what if.."

Ashley: "spencer, I have to try. This is something no vampire has done since my uncle Chuckie was a kid. Please don’t cry."

Spencer let her tears flow over Ashley’s chest, down her breasts and onto her stomach.

Ashley: "Spencer. I love you. I’m doing this for everyone."

Spencer: "Let me help you-"

Ashley: "No. It can only be me….Promise me you’ll stay here. Promise me you’ll lock the door after I leave in the morning. Promise me Spencer."

Spencer: "I promise."

Ashley: "And I promise to come home…when it’s over."

The vampire stood on her feet and walked towards the forest.

Ashley: "I promised her. I will come home today. No one is going to stop me."

Buffy: "I can be the judge of that."

Buffy was right in front of her. Hands on her trusted whip.

Faith: "Buffy, are you sure?"

Buffy: "Faith shut up."

Ashley: "Slayers. Long time no fuck. So how’s everything been going down in the bedroom? I can see it’s still pretty bad, seeing as you still look pissed as hell."

Buffy: "Save the smart ass comments for the devil when he makes you his bitch."
