This is just incredible! I love the description of Faith before she was a slayer.
But her blood pumped fast through her veins and she was hyper-aware of every muscle, and the way her fingers connected to her hands to her wrists and on and up and down, her whole body, long and lined and all in one. She couldn’t not run, she couldn’t stop, and she didn’t want to do either, she just wanted to keep going, boots against asphalt, the wind in her face sharp and new. This entire paragraph is so great. So Faith. *loves*
I think it's really difficult to get voices right in dreams, especially with Kendra. You did a good job here, though. Kendra giving Faith advice like that makes me oooooo so happy :)
The end is my favorite, though. The fact that Faith, from the very start, saw her calling as a way out of her dead-end life is so in-character and perfect. Love it! Thank you so much for sharing this!
