"That looks nasty," I said, reaching into a pouch on my belt. "Lift your shirt."
"Excuse me?" Charlotte demanded. I rolled my eyes, retrieving an tub of cream from the pouch.
"I cant treat the wound if don't move your shirt," I said. "As cute as you are, we only just met. Besides, there's an audience," she blushed as she showed the wound. "Youch. You should be lucky Mai joined in when she did," I tore a strip off my shirt. "Maya, could I get this wet?"
she said mentally.
[She needs to trust me] I said. Maya looked at me quizingly as she summoned a small rain storm to het the rag. [You'll understand.]
"Now, let's see," Charlotte winced as I began to clean the blood from her side.
"What about you?" She asked.
"What little's mine isn't a problem," I said. "this may..." I spread the cream on the wound quickly. "...sting." I finished, getting abandage out and wrapping it around her side. "Now, no fighting with Slayers until that's healed, 'kay?"

"ok" I agreed in a small voice. I didn't understand why Doc was doing this-looking after me but I douldn't try to work it out now either. I looked at him as he finished dressing the wound; he looked kind, caring. Aredhel on the other had looked quite terrifying. I looked back at Doc rather than look at her and he helped me get shakily to my feet. "Thank you." I said and i didn't just mean Doc. He had been right, Maya'd been right. If I had been on my own there I'd be dead by now. I didn't know why they helped me out but they did, that was all I could cope with right then.

Telepathy was not needed to feel Charlottes confusion. I smiled at her,
"It's what we do."I said. SHe looked a little pissed,
"RIght." SHe said bitterly, "Help damsels in distress."
"No." I replied, "Well... yes, but not in thi case- i meant that when a friend needs help, we help, we dont leave people behind."
She was silent as my meaning sunk in. I smirked, "Come on, you can stay with me tonight, and tomorrow we'll get you your very own shit hole." I said brightly.
[You ok Del?] I asked as i supported Charlotte and we started walking.

((*Rolls eyes* Now children...))
I walked with girls as they headed to Maya's. "I knew I should have brought my car," I muttered.
"You just like showing off," Maya accused.
"Maybe," I said with a smile. Tonight had nothing to do with showing off. There things happening Maya didn't realise.
I put my hand in my picket, hiding the convusion in the fingers. The Itch was on. Very soon...
...Charlie girl was getting a new weapon.
((Hee hee.))

((ooooh and the plot thickens!))
I took a deep breath, willing myself to calm down. Thankfully Doc had managed to treat the wound, and that made things oh so much easier to deal with. I caught Maya's look and gently shook my head.
[Don't ask.]
I didn't want to admit to anyone that it was getting harder to control the demon. Harder to control myself.

As Maya helped me down the road I saw her frown. "What's wrong?" I asked but she shook her head and we continued in silence. Finally I just had to break it.
"I still don't understand." I said. "I came here and fought with you but all you and your friends did was offer and me help. You got hurt for me but all I ever tried to do was hurt you. Now you're giving me a place to stay, and don't think I'm not grateful but I've known you about two hours. I don't know anything about you and you don't know anything about me so why do I trust you? How can you trust me?"

I smirked at her,
"Honest truth?" I asked. She nodded. "I know i can trust you because i'm a telepath- ergo i can pretty much just tell. As for you trusting me.... well thats just up to you, but you know about slayers, and you know i just saved your ass..." So i was blunt- i wasnt gonna suagr coat it all! "Look Charlie-girl, We all offered to help because each damned one of us has had the same reaction at one time or another..." I chuckled, "First time i met Del, i just called her 'vamp' and she offered me a glass of acid. In this bizz, you realise soon enough that life is far from black an' white... and some people, no matter how angry or sad, or hurt they are... sometimes they just need to know someone is there if they need them..." I sighed, "We welcomed you because each of us has seen enough bad in our lives to know you're not, so if you need a place to stay, I'm all too happy to lend a helping hand."

"Is that why you all stick together?" I asked confused. "You've all freaked at the good guys, thinking they were bad guys?"
"Not exactly." Maya said raising an eyebrow.
"So what is it then? Why don't you just fight on your own? That's what slayers are supposed to do, that's what watchers were always taught."

"Tell me, with all your watcher knowledge, what is the most consistent thing thoughout history, for all slayers?" I said a little sharply. She frowned at me, then looked away,
"They all die... young." She said quietly.
"Bingo, sweety. Now do you know who the longest lived slayer so far is?"
"Buffy." She replied.
"Right again. And why? Because, no offense, charlie, but she said screw the council. She kept her friends, and her family, and they are the things that kept her going all this time. They kept her alive! Even when she died they bought her back. We fight together because we can, and its more effective. We support eachother through bad times, and work through our shitty pasts together, instead of letting them tear us apart and leave us as some wreck of a person in a gutter somewhere..." I trailed off and we walked in silence for a moment. "Sorry to rant." I said, "But its the truth. I used to think that alone was the only way to be... but after being here for a while... i realised just how wrong i was. Those guys are like family to me. Now i'm in love, and every day i can get up because i know those people are in this world."

"I've done the lonely bit," I said. "Over rated. For one, there's no one to hear your one liners," Charlotte grinned. "Sometimes, it the other side of things, the human side, that's needed. Loose that, you become cold inside, unable to care. You do things you wouldn't normally do and before you know it, your no better than the demons you ued to hunt."
