Small sample of new story

“I'm telling you Buffy, I've never seen or head of a demon like this before and I couldn't find him in any of the books, it's like he just fizzled out of nowhere. We hit him with all we had fire, magic stakes, cross bows, one of the witches got so pissed she hit him with an entire dumpster, then he got back up. I'm not sure what kind of demon could be capable of so much resistance, it just left the girls beaten and frustrated. If we don't get any answers soon we are in big trouble...”

“Take a deep breath Will, the plane is going to land in a few hours and we'll deal with it like we do with everything else, no one can stay invincible for long, the mayor tried that one remember?”

“That was a long time ago Buffy the magics in the world have changed and so have the powers of evil, we're in the dark here facing a huge risk to everything we have worked so hard to re-build, we've already lost so many friends along the way I can't bear to lose anyone else.”

“Hey! Stop the wigging out right now! Look you are the most powerful woman in the free world, have a little more faith in that okay? Nothing is going to fuck with New Sunnydale, our families are safe. Trust in the protections you have placed around the village, and that our Witches and Slayers can figure it out, we've faced a lot of shit in the last fifteen years I'm not about to throw in the towel now, besides I've tired that and there is no out.”

There was a knock on the bathroom door with that Willow's worried face had vanished from the mirror
leaving the tiny lavatory just that. Buffy took a deep breath and fixed her hair before coming out.

“You must return to your seat miss, we are preparing for landing.” There really wasn't a need for conventional travel anymore but it gave her time to think and time to get the sleep she had so desperately needed.

Buffy rolled her eyes at the tone the stewardess chose to take with her. “You know bossy isn't going to get you very far in life, I've tired that and failed miserably.” She shook her head then slipped back into her seat beside Faith to buckle up. A loving hand was placed over her own giving it a squeeze.

“That bad huh B?” Faith tried to coax Buffy into talking, sometimes it worked, sometimes she got nothing, it's just the way they were as of late, something Faith couldn't figure out but now wasn't exactly the right time or place for relationship issues.

Buffy had already been lost in thought. “Huh? The new demon, right. Well not so much I think Willow is overeating, it's the stewardess who got on my nerves the most, It's really hard not to give civies a piece of my mind, I'm so used to just ripping into the people around me with a huge piece of my mind and not giving it a second thought, but when we are out in public like this it's different...”

“Hey,” Faith gently pulled her girlfriend closer to her wrapping an arm around her, she cupped Buffy's face giving her a soothing kiss. “After we get rid of whatever the hell this demon is, we'll take a nice trip together alright? You said you've been dying to go to the beach so we'll rent a house and do the whole thing alright?” And maybe they could salvage their relationship at the same time, their anniversary was just around the corner, Faith had been worried if they'd even see the next one.
