((Backdated to the day BEFORE Valentine's Day, because RL just decided to chill out now instead of yesterday. Feel free to interrupt. Faith won't stab you, I promise.))

Valentine's Day?

Thud.

Valentine's Day.

Snap.

Valentine's Day!

Faith's hair fell into her face and there was an angry smile on her face... but anyone that either knew her or was perceptive enough could see the tears in her eyes. She slashed and spun with her knife, cutting angry hunks out of the unlucky tree that had drawn her attentione. Her knife was growing sticky with sap and she didn't care.

Tomorrow was Valentine's Day. The day of lovers and sweetness and cookie-faces and all of that bullshit. And Faith was not in a mood. She wanted to keep attacking this poor tree until all of her humanity was hacked away along with the wood. She couldn't handle the turmoil in her mind. She couldn't handle her conflicting emotions or the fire inside of her. She was supposed to be reformed. She was, wasn't she? She was all better. No more bad. So why... Why had she...

With a scream more animal than human, Faith slammed her knife into the tree. Hard. With all of her slayer strength even. The sharpened blade slid into the wood easily all the way up to the hilt... and stuck there. Tears were now bubbling up more noticibly in her eyes but she just blinked to drop them down. She sword loudly and set to work getting her knife out.

Fucking Valentine's Day.

Ellie just started at her face. Faith looked promising. And, she was sort of sick of being the innocent one. But, she really wasn't that bad. She wasn't sure if she could pull if off, even for one night. She had a good heart, she couldn't deny it.

But.. maybe, she could just leave if things got bad?

Her heart started to pound, she felt a little dizzy. She couldn't believe she was going to do this.

"Alright..."

"Follow me, Lee." Faith turned to head back into the school and then paused. "Wait." She trotted back to the tree and gripped the hilt and pulled with all of her strength. After a few seconds the blade loosed and was free. She shoved it in her belt and walked back twoards Ellie.

"Ready to go on a great adventure?" Faith asked, walking backwards so that she could face Ellie as she walked away from her."Loose some of that good girl mojo?"

"Err.. sure," Ellie said sacrastically.

Maybe, this wouldn't be as rough as she imagined.

She followed Faith, wondering where it might go.
