Summary: As she pinned the comb in her hair, whiteness snaked out from the comb, bleaching her hair. She screamed, arching forward as she fell into the sea. Twisting under the waves, she writhed under the water, as if scrabbling for escape. Her hand reached upward but was unable to break through the surface. With a final grimace, she relaxed into the sea's cold embrace. As her feet touched down to the bottom, white locks drifted in the current. The moon drifted across the horizon and was close to setting before she moved again. Her eyes opened and looked up from below the sea.
Notes: Many thanks to my most awesome betas: deird1, for making sure Wesley and Aidan didn't do anything totally unBritish; and diebirchen who catches my grammar errors. 
Notes: Petra Hyde Burnand was Faith's previous Watcher, the one killed by Kakistos.
Notes: The song Faith sings after almost being drawn into the ocean is “Siren Dresses” by the Spin Doctors. The punctuation and capitalization of “Sirens” is how I found it in the online lyrics.
Notes: Wesley is quoting Euripedes' Helen when he says “Winged maiden, daughter of the earth”
Notes: I should have mentioned this in Part 5 as well, but the training techniques Taylor is using for Wes and Faith come from a most excellent webcomic called Pillar of Faith.  Used with permission.  He updates once in a blue moon, but the comic is more amazing than I can describe.
