Pitch blank. Claustrophobic. Faith clawwed at the dirt, trying to dig herself out, but she could hardly move. Panic set and she struggled to get her arms up. Waves of pain spread over her from the hole in her stomach. She could taste the dirt. The oxygen was rapidly running out and she felt herself pass out again. Her last thoughts were that this was what she deserved.

He looked back at the grave. It felt wrong. Guilt started to rise it him, but he tried to remind himself it wasn't his fault. It was Wolfram and Hart. It was them. They'd made it happen.
He started to walk away, and every step felt heavy. He glanced back, and then lifted up the roses. He tossed it on the grave, and then turned his back again.

Angel stood infront of him, baring his vampiric face in full force burning a hole into Henry's eyes "Is this a private party? or can I join?" he thrust his fist forward and connected with his jaw, as Henry stumbled back he stepped forward his fist clenched.
He'd spotted the fight as he entered the cemetary, he'd just stepped through the gates as Faith was thrown into the grave. remembering Cordy's vision he'd sprung into action.
He grabbed Henry's collar and raised his fist "Who the hell are you?"

He spat blood away. Vampire. Why was he interested?
"Mr Elder. Henry Elder. And you are?"

Angel scowled "Name's Angel" he thrust his fist into his stomach "Nice to meet ya" he threw him back and started toward him, the remembered Faith had been vuried in the dirt, he stopped and hesitated, his eyes darting from Elder to the open grave.

"Ah, yes, yes. I see it. Me, or Faith?" he grinned, spitting some more blood, then he started coughing violently. Once the coughing subsided, he said, "Beat me up, or save her. Might still be a chance."

Without thinking he darted into the grave and started pushing away at the dirt "Faith? he cried "Faith can you hear me?" he kept clawing at the dirt, not caring if Elder got away or not. he kept frantically pushing away at the dirt, please god, let her still be alive.

Henry didn't need to be told he had a chance to leave. He stumbled out of the cemetary, heading for his car.

Angel kept digging, he was up to his elbows in dirt, his fingers kept scrapping away until suddenly he felt something, something soft, he reached in further and could feel a body, Faith's body, he pulled and pulled and eventually her face emerged, he held her in his arms and shook her "Faith? Faith?' he said urgently "Come on Faith, wake up!"

Drifting back to conciousness, Faith could here a voice calling her name. Aware now that the weight of the wet dirt wasn't on top of her, she coughed and groaned at the pain in her stomach. Her eyes flickered open to see Angel leaning over her. She tried to speak, but it felt as though she'd swallowed a mouthful of soil. She coughed hard again, making her eyes water.

Angel sat her up "Okay, just, breath slowly" he brushed some of the dirt from her face, he gave her a concerned look, he felt guilty he'd almost screwed up, almost let her get killed. He held her by the shoulder as she sat on the ground "Are you okay?"

"I've been better." she pressed a hand to the bullet wound and gritted her teeth. "Guess I was safer inside with the other murderers."

Angel looked at the wound and helped Faith to her feet "I'll take you somewhere to get cleaned up, just take it easy" he held onto her as he began walking her toward his car outside the cemetary "How did you get out?"

"Wolfram and Hart. They set me up." she said angrily. She allowed herself to lean her weight on Angel as he led her to the car. "The guy," she winced, "Henry Elder. Came to pick me up, said he was from the courts. They just released me. Simple as." As they neared the car, she could feel her hands shaking from the shock. She saw Angel's concern and tried to deflect it a little. "Lucky for me you dropped by." she smiled at him.

"Yeah, well, I was gonna drop by on my way home anyway" he tried to smile but then thought of Wolfram & Hart, obviously they where willing to go that step further to get rid of Faith.
They reached his car and he lifted her up and put her in the back seat, he climbed into the driver's seat and started the engine "Just hang on, I'll get you some place safe"
