                       SOMETHING WICKED

                By the pricking of my thumbs,
               Something wicked this way comes.
                                     -- Macbeth

Prologue: The Origin of the Species
Ancient Sumeria

	First, there was the Earth.  Then, there came the Demons.  
After Demons, there came Men.  The Men found a Girl.  The Men took 
the Girl to fight all Demons.  They chained her to the Earth.  And 
changed the fate of Man forever:
	The three priests, known to their tribe as the Shadow Men, 
circled the young girl chained to a rock.  They rocked back and 
forth, chanting as the girl cried for someone to save her.  Pounding 
their staffs into the ground rhythmically, they continued chanting as 
one stepped forward opening a small wooden box.
	The Shadow Men stepped away from the box, and stood as 
guards, making sure the girl could not escape.  With a final thump of 
their staffs, they chanted in unison, "Herein lies the Strength. 
The energy of the Demon.  Its spirit.  Its heart."
	Slowly, a mist began to rise from the open box heading for 
the chained girl.  As the mist covered her, she began to scream, 
taking the essence of the demon into her soul.
	Thus, the first Slayer was created.





Chapter 1 : Home, Sweet Hellmouth
Sunnydale 1997

	"Dammit, B!  Hurry up!  If I have to go, you do too!"

	Buffy checked herself in the mirror one last time before 
heading down the stairs.  "Alright, Faith.  I'm here. 
Let's get Giles and hit the road."
	"GILES!!!"

	Giles stepped into the room with a sigh.  "There's no need
to yell all the time.  This house isn't that big."  Stopping
to sip his tea, he looked at the outfits the two girls were wearing. 
"Is that, um, what you're wearing to school?"
	Buffy looked down at herself and then over at her sister.  
Not seeing anything unusual, she faced Giles and shrugged.
"Yeah."

	Rolling his eyes, Giles picked up his car keys muttering 
under his breath about "leather" and "proper young
ladies," forgetting about slayer hearing until he heard two
indignant "heys."

	Walking to the car, he continued.  "Now remember, once we get 
to school, I am Mr. Giles the new librarian.  Nothing more."
	During the short ride to their new school, Giles' mind 
wandered back to the day he found his girls.



Boston 1995

	"Shut your mouth, Faithy, or I'll shut it for you."

	"Oh yeah?"

	Rupert Giles rounded the corner and saw two young girls 
arguing in the alley.  From their looks, one would never be able to 
tell they were twins.  Although they were the same height and had the 
same build, that's where the similarities ended.  One was blonde
and tan and the other had dark brown hair and looked as if she never 
saw the sun.  Right now, however, they just looked angry.
	The brunette turned towards here sister with a little 
smirk.  "All's I'm saying is she has one fine ass on
her," she said licking her lips slightly.

	"Goddammit!  I warned you, Faith!"  The blonde threw a
punch, missing by a mile when the other girl ducked down.

	*CRUNCH*

	Giles took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his 
nose.  Nothing's ever easy.
	Laughing, Faith looked up expecting to see the blonde holding 
her injured hand.  Instead, her sister simply stood with her arm 
still extended and a shocked look on her face.  She followed
Buffy's gaze and saw her fist, now buried to the wrist in the
wall.

	"What the fuck, B?" the brunette asked glancing between the 
wall and her sister's face.
	Buffy pulled her hand out of the wall slowly.  Flexing the 
hand, she noticed it didn't really hurt.  A little tingly, but no 
pain.  Weird.  "Um, huh?"
	Giles took this opportunity to step forward and introduce 
himself to his new charge.  Looking at the blonde, he said "You
must be Buffy Summers."




Sunnydale 1997

	As the car pulled into the faculty parking lot, Giles made 
his usual last minute plea to Buffy and Faith.  "Try not to get
into any trouble today, girls."

	The twins looked at each other, winked, and turned back to 
the librarian.  "Yes, sir, Mr. Giles."
	Walking towards the front of the school, Faith bumped Buffy 
with her shoulder and asked, "Remind me again.  Why are we here
in this shitty little town?"

	The little blonde just grinned.  "'Cause G said this place 
was built on a hellmouth and needed the services of the Wonder
Twins."

	Faith grinned wildly back at her and they both thrust their 
hands into the air.  "Wonder Twins...Activate!"  Both girls
dissolved into giggles and continued into the school, never noticing 
the lanky boy with brown hair standing near the doors.  He noticed 
them, however.  Staring at their leather-clad butts, Xander Harris 
walked into the front doors of Sunnydale High School.  Literally.
**********************************************************************

	Rupert Giles was enjoying a quiet afternoon with his 
friends...the books.  Well, as quiet as it could be with Buffy and 
Faith Summers in the room.
	"I'm telling you.  There has to be something fun to do
here," Faith said straddling a chair.

	Buffy propped her feet up on the table in front of her and 
leaned her chair back.  "Why don't we try that place we
passed on the way into town?  The Bronze?"

	"So a quick patrol and then dancing?"

	"Sounds good to me."  Buffy started rocking her chair and 
looked at Giles ready to comment on his total lack of focus on his 
slayers.  She never got the chance as the doors to the library burst 
open.
	Caught up in their conversation, Willow and Xander walked 
into the library oblivious to the stares of its current 
occupants.  "I know you're failing math, Xander.  That's
why you need to come here every once in a while.  It's where the
books live," Willow said nudging her companion in the side.  

	Buffy's mind cleared of all thought save one when she looked 
at the gorgeous redhead who walked into the room: Mine.  Her eyes 
flashed yellow and she never felt her chair toppling over until she 
hit the ground with a crash.  "Fuck!"
	Faith looked at Buffy sprawled on the floor and started 
laughing so hard she fell out of her own chair.
	Ignoring the two on the floor, Giles made his way over to the 
new teenagers to introduce himself.  "I'm Mr. Giles, the new 
librarian.  Can I help you with something?"
	"I'm Willow, " the redhead said trying not to stare at
the laughing brunette and the fallen blonde.  "And this is
Xander," she said elbowing him in the ribs to stop his gaping at
the two leather-clad girls.  "We're looking for some books to
help with algebra."

	Faith finally contained her laughter to an occasional giggle 
and helped Buffy to her feet.  For her part, Buffy was just hoping 
she didn't look too embarrassed after falling on her ass in front
of total strangers.

	"Yes, well, I'm sure I can find something to help you."  
Giles wandered off into the stacks shooting his girls a look that 
clearly said Behave.
	Buffy was having a hard time keeping her demon from coming to 
the forefront as she caught a whiff of Willow from across the room.  
Mmmm.  Vanilla and sandalwood.  Wonder if she tastes like vanilla 
too.  The demon was begging Buffy to claim the redhead here and now 
before she got away.  Tamping down on the urge, Buffy shook her head 
willing herself to remain still.
	The brunette, not having such problems, walked over to Willow 
and Xander to introduce herself.  "I'm Faith and the smooth
one over there," she said pointing towards her sister, "is
Buffy. We're new here."  She shook hands with Xander who
looked like
he might need oxygen soon being in such close proximity with the two 
hottest girls he'd ever seen.  Then, turning to Willow, she held
her hand just a little too long for Buffy's liking.

	Not wanting anyone, even her sister, touching  the redhead 
she intended to make her own, Buffy's eyes turned yellow and
stayed that way this time.  "Mine," she growled low enough
for only Faith to hear.  Pulling the brunette away from Willow, she 
swung the first punch catching Faith in the jaw.  The fight was on.
	Willow and Xander backed out of the library quickly as the 
punches and kicks seemed to get increasingly faster.  Giles came 
rushing out of the stacks at the first sounds of fighting.  He caught 
sight of the two students making a hasty retreat from the library and 
feared maybe a demon had attacked.  Seeing it was only his slayers, 
he hurried to the bookcage.  Pulling out a tranquilizer gun, he 
quickly shot both girls.  After the girls had gracelessly slumped to 
the floor, Giles took off his glasses and sighed.  I'm definitely 
going to have to look into some anger management for the girls before 
they do some real damage one day.  Looking down at Faith and Buffy 
passed out on the floor of the library, he smiled to himself. 
"Works better than shouting every time."
