Ready To Snap

Title Ready To Snap
Rating PG-13

Buffy's ready to snap, Faith can see it in the way she's standing, the way she's holding herself. But not in her eyes because she hasn't looked up since she walked in. Dawn pushes for an answer and Faith knows it's the wrong time. She talks to the younger girl, deflects the question, distracts her.

She doesn't know if it's the right thing to do, she knows neither will thank her for it, but she also knows how precarious a line Buffy's walking. She made a mistake, other people paid for it. Other people got hurt.

Buffy's ready to snap.
