Faith found herself on her ass at the bottom of what appeared to be an open grave. She looked up and could see the night sky through the opening.
What the hell just happened?
Faith started to wonder as she stood up, instinctively dusting herself off. It was just a hole, there wasn't a coffin in it or anything, which on one hand was a good thing, but on the other hand, there was nothing for her to stand on to help her climb out. This part was not such a good thing.
"Shit"
She mumbled to herself as she made a little circle around, not that there was much to see. Just a whole lot of dirt. In frustration she kicked at one of the walls of dirt and watched as chunks flew out and fell to the ground. Finally she kicked it again, this time digging her foot into the dirt to make a foot hold. Then she reached up and forced her hands into the dirt above her head. Slowly she clawed and crawled her way up.
Making it to the edge of the opening she hauled herself up and rolled onto the ground. Laying on the ground she looked up to see a person standing there. Startled, she jumped to her feet and landed in a crouch.

She was walking around minding her own business when she heard something, she ran like the wind and did not know exactly what was to happen now. But she saw a girl lying on the ground. She was curious about what had just happened, but when they made eye contact it was actually rather intense she felt something in this woman and did not know what it was exactly, but seeing how she was in a crouch she sighed a bit. Looking around she saw no one, so knew she was worried she would try something, which of course she would not.
"Relax lady I am not going to hurt you, if I wanted to hurt you. You would be dead already, this is Ashfield and something tells me you were jolted from where ever your from am I right?" She said curious as to what these portals are and why they suck in select people, and she thought it was select people because not a lot of people were here. At least not yet which could confuse her sometimes. So she knew it was select few that got sucked in here which well frankly did suck ass as they say.

"Relax lady I am not going to hurt you, if I wanted to hurt you. You would be dead already, this is Ashfield and something tells me you were jolted from where ever your from am I right?"
Faith starightened herself up and got into a fighting stance. She looked at the girl who was standing in front of her.
"It depends. Who are you and why the hell should I trust you?"
Faith pulle dout her stake and held it in her hand. Her Slayer senses were tingling and she was getting a vibe. She couldn't tell if this girl was evil or not and wasn't sure if she wante dto find out or not. She just continued to stare at her.

Maggie smiled at her she had spunk and liked that, but the stake she noticed all to well who she was well at least her job any way. Placing her hands on her hips and hearing what she said she could not help but throw out another smile. She was a unique one and was thinking about everything she could, right then and t here she had no idea what was to come but this would be rather interesting. Thinking for a moment she was asked why she should be trusted. Looking up at the sky she sighed a little.
"Are all slayer's as jumpy as you? Course then again you are use to having vampires and werewolves chasing you down. Well mostly vampires any way, and as for trusting me I don't expect you to since you don't know me. I can trust people instantly because of my unique abilities, I am a witch so I can sense things about people. The name is Maggie and I was pretty much the first person from our world to get tossed in here, another was an Eden Wolf from Atlanta and Sarah Williams from New York I think"

Faith listened as Maggie spoke. So this girl was a witch, huh? Interesting. Faith looked at her.
"I'm Faith. I'm not jumpy. I crawled out a grave and found you hovering over me. I was being cautious. Most of the time, my enemies rather kill me then make conversation with me."
Faith put the stake that was in her hand away. She wasn't sure if she felt comfortable knowing that Magggie knew she was a Slayer. Seeing that the girl looked harmlesss, Faith decided to trust her...for now. She looked at her again.
"I guess I believe you. Seeing hat your harmless, I guess we can be friends. I can use all the hhelp I can get while I'm here"
Faith wondered if anyone back in Sunnydale knew that she was missing. Probably not. Faith sighed. She had to make the most of it for now. Hopefully she'd be able to return to Sunnydale. She looked at Maggie.
"Where are we and how do I get back to my world?"

Maggie listened to Faith and sighed a little bit, right then and there everything just seemed rather different. Seeing this woman for the first time, she was rather curious on what was going on. Taking a deep breath as she had no idea how to explain this to her. But it had to be terrofying to claw yourself out of a grave that was just messed up. She felt for Faith and deep down she could tell she was actually a good person. So taking a deep breath as she took that moment to just relax and wonder what she would say.
"This is Ashfield and I have been here for seven months, the first week I was here I worked my ass off trying to get out of here, you can get just so far and you are forced to turn back. Because the road is never ending, you could walk five miles, then when you turned around where you came from could be seen. I have bumped into other people here, I have no clue how to get out of here. And no damn idea how long this will take as well. Kinda scary if you let it get like that"

Great. There was no way of ever returning home. Faith sighed. She looked at Maggie.
" So, we're trapped here indefinitely?"
Faith sighed again. She didn't know why she wanted to Sunnydale. Its not like she actually had anyone waiting for her to return. Buffy and her friends were probably glad that she was missing. They didn't really like her. They only put up with her for Buffy's sake. Even though She and Buffy were friends, they still saw eye to eye once in a while.

Maggie looked at Faith and wished she could give her the answer she wanted, but she shrugged her shoulders. "I honestly do not know, but faith if you were taken so were other people where your from. That I can guarantee that, I use to think that things happened for a reason, but this shit is stupid. I honestly don't Miss New York City, my parents are dead no other family. No friends or loved ones, so that is why I stopped looking. But I sense your in the same boat"
Looking at Faith she placed her hand on her arm and closed her eyes seeing Flashes of Faith what she went through and . Opened up her eyes sighing a little bit. "You have been through enough in your life, the people who knew you may not have liked you. But I see a good woman, you made mistakes but that is what makes you human." She said with a kind smile.

Faith nodded silently and continued to listen to Maggie talk.
"You have been through enough in your life, the people who knew you may not have liked you. But I see a good woman, you made mistakes but that is what makes you human."
Faith smiled. Maggie was the first person who didn't judge her based on what she did in the past. Maybe being here in Ashfield wasn't so bad after all. Maybe this was where Faith was meant to be. Maybe this was her chance to be herself without having to prove anything to anyone.
"I have been through alot. I have made mistakes. I live day after day trying to atone for what I've done. Back in Sunnydale, nothing I do matters. The people there only see me for who I was not for who I am now. I constantly feel like I'm trying to prove myself to them. Nothing I do is ever good enough for them."
Faith closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. She opened her eyes and looked at Maggie.
"Maybe I was meant to be here. Maybe I was sent here as a chance to be myself without having to prove that I've changed. Maybe being here isn't so bad after all"

Maggie looked at Faith and smiled at her kindly, she had a feeling they would become good friends. She thought for a moment about what she had seen, still processing what she saw from Faith and then got a glimpse of something buried and looking back at Faith she did not know if she should talk about it. But someone had to tell her what she be told, accidents happen. But she should not be damned for it, she gave her a kind nod and looked around not sensing or hearing anyone or anything but the two of them now.
"I know you accidentally killed a man, but even I know it was an accident. But you will be okay Faith you have a friend in me at least, there are many people here. Even have a vampire, however she is not evil. She sticks to herself and does not harm anyone, she can be seen out in the day so I guess there are all sorts of vampires out there. But you will be fine Faith I promise, I will keep a watchful eye on you as best as its humanly possible any way" She said with confidence.

Faith nodded. It was nice to have someone who understood her and didn't judge her the way Buffy and the scoobies did. Faith looked at her.
"A vamp that can be out in the daylight? Can you tell me more about her?"

Maggie listened to her question and stuck her hands in her jean pockets. "I honestly do not know that much about her, all I know is her name is Elena and she honestly is not a bad person Faith. I promise if there was a wicked vampire I would roll out the red carpet to the wicked vampire. I know there are all sorts of supernatural, some witches get there powers from demons, some vampires can be out in the day, it appears this place is rather unique."

A vampire that can walk around in the daytime. Huh. Faith found that interesting. She was wondering if there was a way she could meet Elena. While Faith's learned to not be quick to judge people, her Slayer instincts were kicking in overdrive. In her world, Vampires (except Angel & Spike) weren't at all good. Faith looked at Maggie.
"I wanna meet Elena. Do you think you can set up a meeting for us?"
Faith wasn't sure if she felt comfortable meeting Elena by herself. She looked at Maggie again.
"Could you maybe come with me to meet Elena?"
Faith wasn't asking because she was scared. She was asking because she felt Safe with Maggie around and wanted a little protection in case Elena decided to attack her.

Maggie heard her question and smiled at her, she crossed her arms over her chest and nodded to her. "Alright Faith I will go with you, and I am not to sure I think she will as long as you are on neutral ground with one another, course if you two get into it I can easily separate you guys." She said with a kind smile on her face.

Faith relaxed and smiled when she heard Maggie say she'd go with her to meet Elena. She looked at her.
"Thanks. As long as Elena doesn't attack me we'll be ok. If she attacks me, all bets are off"
