NOTE: I'm a bit sleep-deprived right now and this is a random idea I had about fifteen minutes ago that I'm just throwing onto virtual paper. I'm sure nothing could possibly go wrong with this.

The first thing people always noticed about Faith were her eyes. They were red; a fiery, intense ruby kind of red. Almost everybody who saw her assumed she must be wearing coloured contact lenses and tried to put the sight of them out of their mind. Those who dared to look closer would notice that her red irises weren't even the strangest thing about her eyes. Her pupils were: they were a pair of thin, dark slits one would expect to see on a cat, or possibly a tiger.

The look of the rest of her body was more or less optional, but Faith usually defaulted to a tall, athletic build with short, unkempt black hair. Often, her hair would have a few purple streaks in it. It would have surprised those who knew her that these bits of purple were there because she carefully and skilfully dyed her hair and not because she simply wished them there.

The reason for her peculiar eyes and unconventional body was simple: she wasn't human. Her mother was, as far as she knew, but her father definitely wasn't. Faith didn't know who her father was, but her mother had told her once that he was an unspeakable abomination conjured forth from the darkest abyss for a long, debauched night of depravity and sin. And nine months after that, she had been blessed with a beautiful little baby girl. Faith believed her. Partly because it sounded about right, but mostly because she didn't really care. She had other things to worry about. Like next week's Chemistry test.

Muttering elements of the Periodic Table to herself, Faith found herself walking down an empty hallway after too long a day at school. She stopped abruptly in her tracks when she heard a sound. It was a kind of sigh and was so quiet normal people wouldn't have heard it. It had come from a classroom that should have been empty at this time of day, but apparently wasn't. Faith knew what to do. She just had to keep walking. She had to go home where homework would unfortunately be waiting for her. She really could not afford to be distracted right now.

Knowing all this, Faith walked into the classroom.

What she found there surprised her. There were two girls standing near the windows. One, a short blonde, she didn't recognise. The other was a rather taller redhead with an incredibly freckled face she was pretty sure was called Erika. Or possibly Erin.

The two girls were kissing, which wasn't what had surprised her. The surprising thing was that their kiss was... very careful and a little uncertain. It looked like they weren't used to kissing girls, or even just kissing period. It was kind of sweet, actually, and it made Faith feel like an intruder. She quietly turned around and was about to leave when a voice called out to her.

"Who are you?"

Faith paused and turned around. The unfamiliar blonde and probably Erika were looking at her. The weren't embarassed about being found out or angry at being intruded upon. People usually weren't around Faith.

"Faith," Faith replied.

"Oh, right," said maybe Erin. "They say you know a lot about... you know... girls."

Faith nodded. "I know some things," she replied.

The two looked at one another, talking without words. Then they both turned towards Faith and began walking hesitantly towards her, holding hands all the way. Faith thought she had a pretty good idea about what was going to come next.

"We don't," the girl who could also have been called Elise said.

"We sort of only just got together, so maybe you could teach us? Some stuff?" the blonde asked hopefully.

The question didn't surprise Faith in the least. It, or something like it, always got asked after she'd walked in on a girl who was... privately busy. And she tended to walk in on girls who were busy. It probably had something to do with her being the spawn of some kind of thing out of an abyss somewhere. She probably shaped reality around herself in some way.

And she did. But not, as she thought, because of her parentage. Not any more.

"Sure. If you like," Faith replied.

The two girls smiled, nodded, stepped closer to her and kissed her. It was a strange kiss, in a way, and not because a kiss shared between three girls tended to be inherently awkward and difficult. It was strange because everything went so smoothly. The two girls who, just before, had been so hesitant and uncertain now kissed one another and her with such skill and confidence one might think they'd done it hundreds of times before. And while Faith pretty much had, the blonde and probably not Eris surely hadn't. Yet now the three of them kissed with passion and eagerness, their tongues and lips playing together with ease.

The blonde and almost certainly Erika pulled away, embraced each and kissed. They were eager and passionate, pressing their bodie
