    TRY AS HE MIGHT TO DENY SUCH A REALITY, he could not. For centuries his family reminded him of his own malice. He was plagued with memories of tortured lovers, scorned friends, torched villages -- families left broken, humans turned vampires. All in the name of Niklaus's self-preservation, as he ran from his father and did what he had to do in order to survive. And yet, in spite of his family's sheepish cries, they stuck beside him. Perhaps that made them more pathetic than Klaus could ever be. "You hate me, Katerina. But you and I - we are not so different."

THE  DIMLY  LIT  FACTORY  FLOOR   is  filled  with  an  eerie  silence,   broken  only  by  the  occasional  clang  of  metal  or  the  low  growl  of  an  unseen  creature  lurking  in  the  shadows.   from  where  buffy  stands  back - to - back  with  faith,   she  snorts  at  the  question,  breaths  heavy  in  the  wake  of  taking  out  two  more  monsters  intent  on  having  themselves  a  slayer - shaped  meal.   she  thinks  there’s  something  impressed  about  faith’s  tone,   and  only  glances  over  her  shoulder  once  before  delivering  a  kick  to  the  chest  of  another  vampire,   sending  it  flying  into  a  pile  of  ( now - broken )  wooden  crates.

                    ❝  years  of  practice,  ❞    she  deadpans,  grip  tightening  on  the  stake  in  her  hand.   ❝  you  know,   the  whole  ‘chosen  one’  gig  doesn’t  exactly  come  with  an  instruction  manual.  ❞    just  a  grumpy  british  librarian,   she  thinks  with  a  wry  laugh.   

two  more  emerge  from  the  shadows,   and  buffy's  feeling  a  little  grateful  that  faith  has  her  back  tonight,   even  if  she  normally  wouldn’t  admit  it.   the  scoobs  are  always  great  to  have  around,   but  sometimes  they  can  be  a   liability.   ❝  having  a  killer  partner  doesn’t  hurt,  either.  ❞    already  knowing  that  praise  is  going  to  go  right  to  faith’s  head,  she  spins  away  with  a  particularly  savage  arc  in  her  swing,   the  dusting  the  guy  who’d  apparently  thought  he  was  being  sneaky  by  crawling  along  the  pipes,  shrugging  as  the  cloud  of  it  disperses  between  them.  ❝  you’re  not  so  bad  yourself.  ❞
