Summary: Set in S1 between E18 Five By Five and E20 War Zone, when Faith first arrives and Angel helps Faith become the good Slayer again. Cordy finds a wounded Faith. Will she be okay? Read to find out what happens.

Faith

It's a dark night in LA, California as I walk the streets on my way to the Hyperion hotel. Angel lives and works there and is the boss of Angel Investigations. C works with him and has visions. Wes and Gunn work with them, too. Wes was a Watcher before he was fired and Gunn is a loner. He works with them though, because they're friends and it's what friends do. They help one another through anything if all possible. Me? I don't have friends. B and I were close friends until I turned bad ass. Now we're not friends. She and her friends hate me for what I did when I was bad. I tortured Buffy and wanted to hurt Willow. I didn't succeed though because they rescued her from me. X had faith that I could become who I used to be again, though. I admire him for that and he was right. I came through with the help of Angel. Nobody else wanted to go anywhere near me. How did I become the bad Faith? I accidentally killed a man. I told B I was okay, but I wasn't. I went into shock and that's when I went bad. But now I'm back to being who I used to be.

I stop, sensing danger around, and then hear noises from an alley. So I walk into an alley I hear the noises from, only to see some vampires. They're cornering a girl whom I don't know. She's a stranger to me, but I know she's human. That means she's an innocent, so she's someone that needs protected.

"Hey!" I say, and the three vampires turn around, which gives the girl a chance to flee out of the alley in fear.

They growl at me and then lunge at me. And then the fight is on between us.

Cordy

I'm walking down a sidewalk, as I head home, when I see a girl running as if for her life, from an alley. I don't see anything after her, but I go to check it out anyway. And as I do so, I don't hear anything from the alley and it's late, so nobody is around.

When I arrive, I see Faith seated on the ground, back against a brick wall at the entrance to the alley. She's in bad condition I know, just by sight.

"Faith?" I call.

I briskly walk towards her.

I kneel down in front of her and search for a pulse on the side of her neck. I check her breathing, before I look for wounds and injuries.

When I find that she has wounds on her stomach and abdomen that look like stab wounds, I'm worried. She has a cut on her forehead and the middle of her chest, a minor wound on her left leg, and blood on either side of her head.

Faith

After the attack where I staked the vampires and blacked out, I come to to see that I'm still in the alley. C is in front of me.

"Hey," she greets.

"C?" I question softly.

"It's me. We have to get our of here."

Everything blurs together and dims. I don't know why. I don't feel any pain.

"Faith, stay awake. Stay with me," she instructs me.

Cordy

By the time I get Faith on the couch at the Hyperion, she blacks out.

A few minutes later, I have her taken care of and I know she'll be okay. So everybody lives happily ever after with Faith healing.
