Description: How Faith became a vampire slayer.

Disclaimer: I don't own Faith. Joss does. I'm borrowing her for my own creativity.

Author's Note: The character talking to Faith in prison is Miranda Jacobs, My own original character from back in the day, if you'd like a full biography about her, and her history with Angel let me know.

Los Angeles.

2000

Miranda Jacobs brushed a lock of her long brown hair back out of her face, and shifted uncomfortably on the cold plastic chair that she was sitting in. This is so the last time I do Angel any favors. She thought grumpily, as she glanced at the clock. Twenty minutes had passed since she'd arrived at the prison for visiting hours, and she was still waiting on Faith Lehane to make her appearance so that they could talk…If Faith decided that it was worth her time for them to talk, the brunette slayer was hard to read, and Miranda wasn't even sure if she'd see her, she hoped she would, all she wanted to do was try to piece together the puzzle of her life.

The heavy door behind the glass creaked open, and two guards escorted Faith into the visitor's room. She smiled briefly at Miranda when she saw her, and nodded in the direction of where she was sitting, and made her way over to her, leaving the guards behind her. "Miranda." The name was spoken quietly through the receiver of the phone, as Faith looked at her, both confused, and wary of trusting the ex-demon.

"Faith." Miranda's voice was just as quiet. Her green eyes searching Faith's brown ones, trying to get some sort of sense as to of why Angel had sent her here. "Angel wants me to talk to you…to try to help you let go of some of the pain that he had to let go of to start to move on.." her voice was hesitant.

Faith's eyes grew wide. "He What?! Hell no Mira. My past is my past, and I won't share it with anyone." She laughed bitterly; "I've learned its best not to trust anyone who comes from Sunnydale."

Miranda remained calm despite Faith's somewhat uncharacteristic outburst. "You trust Angel, and he came from Sunnydale." She pointed out somewhat ruthlessly, her voice flat, as she glanced over her shoulder suddenly wary, remembering why she'd be hesitant to visit Faith in the first place.. "And you know Faith; I was a lot like Angel once. I killed innocent people for him, because I was In Love with him. I betrayed the people that assigned me to kill him before he could fall in Love with A Slayer, so that I could be selfish, and have him all to myself."

Faith was surprised, and trying not to show it. "Y-you what?"

"You heard me." Miranda was growing bored with talking about herself. "Now why don't you tell me what made you so damn bitter?"
