There's a thunder in our hearts, baby

May 14, 2005 15:14

Alright, so obviously I fucked something up earlier. It wasn't like I had a lot of experience in makin' nice with people. Slayer. She alone. Blah blah blah, Wes made me memorize that speech with how often he'd said to me over the years. But honestly, the fact that I had no friends didn't really have much to do with me bein' the slayer. More to do ( Read more... )

I don't understand why, I don't know if I want to understand why Faith gets under my skin. But she does. She manages to get to me and makes me want to lose my temper, I don't lose my temper.

Shaking my head I sighed and went back to my books, I had picked up a few books from the local shop to find out about doing that spell against the Immortal. So far I was having some progress, not much, but it was better then nothing.

"Tara! TARA! Let me in! Open up!"I bolted out of bed, my books dropping onto the floor, and hurried to the door. I knew it was Faith but the tone in her voice sounded like nothing I'd heard before. Scared panic ( ... )

I was breathing hard, my back pressed into the floor as I brushed a few strands of dark hair out of my face. Glancing down at Tara I instantly felt bad for shovin' her to the floor but gettin' smacked to the floor or gettin' torn into pieces? Which would you rather?

"Zombies." I said casually as Tara finally got up to her feet. Without thinking I grabbed her arm and pulled her next to me against the door. Keeping one palm flat against the door, I grabbed her and rolled us so that her back was pressing into the door and I was pressed into her. Pressing my hands to the door I pulled away from her and kept pressure on the door.

"Don't move." With that I let go, and watched a horrified look come over her face as she struggled to keep the door closed. Moving quickly I grabbed her desk and jammed it under the doorknob, locking them out of the room for now.

"That should keep 'em out for a little while." Taking a few steps backwards, I put a hand to my forehed with a wince.

Hoped she liked zombies on her pizza.

I stood up and before I could react to Faith's news about the zombies I found myself pressed against not only the door but her as well. My face flushed deep red as I felt her body heat wash over me from head to toe ( ... )

I rolled my eyes and sighed loudly as she took me by the arm and pushed me down into a chair. We didn't have time for this crap. Still, I was hard pressed to shoot her down when she finally cleaned some of the blood off of my face, so I could at least see again. Reaching up with one hand I wrapped my fingers around her wrist and pulled her hand with the damp cloth away from my forehead ( ... )

Well as long as the food doesn't do anything weird or the people here try to eat us alive I guess it's got one up on Sunnydale then. "Sounds good to me." I bit my lip and sat across from her, tucking my leg under me as I sat.

I smiled back at Faith when she said she was bringing me pizza, I wondered for a moment why she was then I remembered that we'd had a fight this afternoon. It was over and done and mostly forgotten, you can't change the past so everything was what it was. We needed to work together to get rid of the Immortal and us fighting wasn't going to do either of us any good.

"Well then we'll just have to have extra pancakes in mourning of the pizza." I laughed at my own lameness and shook my head, looking down at the menu. I wasn't all that hungry, I was more nervous then anything. But I was and would be ok, I was with a slayer. Not with but Faith was around and I'd be alright, unless the Immortal came and then we'd both be ( ... )

Tara and I ordered pancakes and I ordered a coffee before the waitress left us alone. Pancakes in mourning of pizza? Was this chick for real or what? Probably. I learned to expect almost anything from the girls I went to school with. Course, most of 'em were stuck up bitches from rich little families. Tara didn't really seem that way at all. BU was a hard school to get into and I had the good sense to know that the only reason I happened to be going there now was because the Council had a foot in the door pretty much everywhere. I hadn't flunked out of high school, but I'd come close ( ... )

magick_goddess May 24 2005, 22:41:21 UTC

I put the menu to the side and tucked my hair behind my ear, looking over at Faith when she asked me about school. I didn't mind telling her I just minded talking about myself, I hated it and it always made me feel uncomfortable.

Too late I guess.

"I'm um studying art. I don't h-have a set major yet but it's either going to be art or teaching." I smiled slightly and blushed, looking down at the paper placemat that was on the table. "I kind of like working with kids." I shurgged a bit and tried to brush it off but art and kids were my biggest passions.

I looked up at her and played with a lock of my hair, a nervous habit of mine since I was little. "W-well why don't you pick um something that you're good at. I mean, I know, I know that the slaying is your gig but maybe learning something that you c-could enjoy would be nice." I gave her a small smile and shrugged a bit. "Hmmm maybe umm something to do with umm kickboxing or uh something..." I blushed deeply and looked down at the table, feeling like a total dork. "S-sorry..."

"That's cool." I said breezily when she mentioned that she liked art and kids. I mean, I guess that was cool or whatever if that was what she was into. Totally not my thing but everybody's gotta have something, right? Me. I liked killin' things, not exactly a practical course of study but it seemed to work for me. Wasn't even sure what I was doin' in college anyway. Well, I already knew the answer to that. Because the choices had been clear to me. Keep livin' with Watcher Boy or move into some dorms. Wes was cool but I couldn't imagine livin' with him forever. We just drove eachother crazy most of the time. And slaying? Didn't exactly pay the bills. Seemed hardly fair that Wes got paid to be my watcher but what'd I get? Diddly. That was what ( ... )
