My Last Breath

Summery: I was just watching the Angel episode 'Release'. One thing that always bugs me about shows and movies is 'what if something else happened or I should say didn't happen. What if Faith hadn't taken the drug? What if she didn't have time, or she dropped it or the glass needle it was in shattered? In this one she gets turned into a vampire I think that would make a better story then her just dieing. Tell me if I should continue this or not. I'm not sure right now.

Part One

Faith gave him one last punch and straightened up still breathing hard. "Your wrong. I'm different now. I'm not like you."

Angelus, still on the floor seemed to be still boarding on the brink of passing out suddenly snapped awake. He turned quickly on the floor before Faith could even realize what he was doing. She felt a hard kick near the bottom of her legs and she flipped onto the floor. There was a sudden pain where she landed. She felt a large strong hand suddenly grab her shoulder. She was pulled up slightly and Angelus grabbed her other shoulder to hold her in place. The whole thing took little more then a second.

A soft whisper fell into her ear. "You will be."

Then came the real pain. She felt it happen as if in slow motion. Two sharp points were suddenly digging into her skin. She let out a gasp. She could actually feel the blood and life being sucked out of her. 'This is what it was like to be killed by a vampire?' she thought. All of the victims she had seen killed came back to her. This is what they felt? This pain? This senseless darkening? That is what she saw. Her eye sight was fine but the edges where growing dark and it was moving inward. She would be dead soon enough.

She could suddenly feel being let go. She fell onto her back her arms limp at her sides.. She tried to move but she knew she couldn't, the life was gone from her. She could see a growing blur around the figure that was Angelus. He looked at her with a small smile then leaned down kneeling over her. Her vision left her completely but before it did she thought she saw him reaching toward her.

She felt something on her mouth, then something cool slid down her tongue. Did she? She couldn't tell. She was losing feeling all over. She felt everything fading. If she had the strength she would have cried. She almost died before but it was nothing like this. This was so terrifying. Everything just faded. Then she let out what she knew would be her last breath. She it's cool touch pass over her lips, which no now longer had a feeling of wait on them. Her last breath. She thought she heard laughter in the distance then instead of everything stopping she felt as if she was falling to sleep. Everything then stopped.....

Part Two

Angelus slowly stood up and loomed over her. He looked somewhat paler then he did before but that smile stayed on his face. He turned and walked away. Instead of heading for the door he turned in the other direction into another room. Where a hurt Wesley was now getting up.

Wesley looked up ready to run toward the fighting and to help Faith when he saw who was walking toward him. It was Angelus. A few cuts here and there, a little tired looking but all together fine. He reached for a weapon. But he couldn't find any. He must have lost them.

"What's the matter Wes? No big slayer girl to protect you?" he said now standing still in front of him. "You all alone against the big boogyman?" he said once again walking closer. Like a panther prowling towards its prey.

"What have you done with Faith?" he asked now realizing with slight panic that Faith was no where in sight.

"Faith? Well she has lost some of her youthful glow but that will be back soon enough. She'll be as living and chipper as ever. Can't really say the same for you though." He said coming even closer now moving with his predatory walk.

"Your not going to get away with this!" Wesley said looking for any possible escape.

"Oh, yeah. THAT was original. What do you think is going to happen? Some miracle is going to happen and save you and all your little friends? Huh? Bring back Angel's soul?" he gave out a laugh. "Not going to happen."

Wesley starred at him. He knew he was right. For him anyway. The others could still do it. Still win this battle. It was over for him though. And Faith? Angelus' words still ran through his mind 'Well she has lost some of her youthful glow but that will be back soon enough. She'll be as living and chipper as ever' What did that mean. What had this monster done to her. She was either dead or alive. Unless......Oh no. No. Faith...He couldn't have....

But he didn't finish the thought before Angelus grabbed him.

You think I should continue or try something else?
