FPOV.
So we're just out side sunnyhell. Be enterin the city right..about...now.
"Faith do you know where the magic shop is?" Buffy asks. I nod.
"Yeah. Need me to drop you off?" I ask her.
"I was hoping you'd come and tell the gang you're staying. You know so they can start to get used to it." she says. Eh whatever.
"Sure. Max be nice." I say. I know he's gonna have somethin impolite to say bout somebody.
"Aint I always?" he asks tryin ta sound like the innocent teenager he aint.
"No." I say. He sight.
"I will try. I make no promises." he says. I nod. Its good enough for me. Not too long after we come into this small beyond small town we're at the magic shop. Buffy and kate are standin in front of me and Max. we all walk in and all conversation stops.
"Well that's unattractive." Max says.
"What?" Buffy asks.
"That." he says pointin at Riley's face. You better believe me and Kate crack up.
"Max!" she scolds him.
"What?! Hell I'm bein nice what more d'ya want?" he asks. I shake my head and pat him on the back.
"That wasn't nice bud." I say. He shrugs.
"Hey you can't blame me because he's ugly." he mumbles just loud enough for me, Kate, and B to hear.
"That's Buffy's boyfriend. Be nice Maximilian" I say tryin to be serious. He looks at Riley.
"She went from sugar ta shit I tell ya that much." he says shakin his head.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Buffy asks.
"Well Angel was cute but him well he's...you know." he says.
"He's what?" Kate asks provoking him. She really shouldn't.
"Ugly." max whispers like its some kinda conspiracy.
"Excuse me I'm in the room you know." beefstick says finally speakin up.
"He even sounds annoying." max says exasperatedly.
"Maxi-" he cuts me off before I use his whole name. Only me and Kennedy and dad can do it and he'll know he's in trouble.
"Fine. Fine. Sorry dude." he says but I know he doesn't mean it.
"Well now that that's out of the way, Buff mind telling us why there is a psychotic murdering bitch here with one of the most famous kids in america." Xander says.
"Oh yes I recognize him. He is extremely wealthy. His name is maxwell or something." some blond chick I don't know says.
"Faaaitthhh." he whines.
"His name is Maximilian and he hates it when people call him maxwell so just call him max." I say. Poor kid he's been goin through most of his life correctin people and sometimes it still don't help.
"That doesn't answer what he's doing with you and why you're here, where you're not wanted I might add, and not in jail where you belong." Red says. I walk over to the table they're at. I know I shouldn't but I wanna fuck with em a little. So I leave my answer vague.
"Came back to finish what I started. Oh yeah, um...Tara that's your name I wanna apologize to you. About before. I was a real bitch to ya and ya didn't deserve it you were never a part of my problems and I'm seriously sorry." I say. I said some fucked up shit and hurt her feelins. I'm real sorry for that.
"Its ok." she says. See she doesn't stutter to much. Oh I know what she's doin. She's readin my aura. Guess she finds somethin cus she lets out a barely audible gasp and her eyes get a little wider. I just smile and wink at her. Yeah baby. But no need to be afraid or nothin. Don't plan on hurtin nobody I don't gotta.
"What do you mean came back to finish what you started? Haven't you ruined enough lives already?" Red asks. That statement hurt. I shouldn't but it did. Guess cus I know its my fault my little girl's life is ruined.
"I meant exactly what I said so get fuckin used to it cus I aint goin nowhere." I say. Her eyes widen. I sigh. "Stop bein so damn scared. I aint gonna kill ya. Unless I have to o'course." I say. Then I walk back over to where my brother is.
"You don't belong here Faith. You should just leave before you cause anymore problems." beefstick
"I don't remember askin for your input." I say. He really don't wanna fuck with me.
"Well I'm giving it. I'm not going sit back and let you hurt Buffy anymore." he says. Ohhhh feeling ballsy are we.
"I aint here to hurt nobody so back the fuck off before I give you a personal face lift." I say stepping up a little. Yeah I'll tango with ya. Just try me.
"I'm not afraid of you I will put you down." he says through gritted teeth.
"And I will introduce my foot to yo' ass." I say. Farm boy you really don't wanna do this. Then I see somethin flash in his eyes and he backs down. Just barely.
"That's alright. Everyone has a weakness and I'm sure I know yours." he says just loud enough for me and only me to hear. B didn't even pick up on it. That's when I know. He knows where she is. I should really contain myself but I can't. I lung at him and start poundin on him.
"Erin calm down! Calm down!" Max says pullin me back. I'm swingin wildly and Kate barely manages to dodge my blows.
"See Buffy! She's psycho! She needs to be in jail!" I hear someone yell but I'm focused on the farm boy who's layin down bloody and smirkin at me. You look triumphant now but I'll fuckin lay you down like a vet does a dog.
"You just declared war farm boy." I say. Max pulls me roughly by my arm to get me out of there before I fuckin end him. He, Kate and I all go to the house the mayor bought me. He said if the ascension came through I had a place to go when I found my daughter. It's a six bedroom y'know all the other rooms for what ever but right now. They are gonna be used for plannin and livin.
BPOV.
She just fucking lost it on Riley. But I don't think it was for no reason. I'm actually positive she had a reason. Everyone is saying things that I don't want to hear. So I stop it.
"Shut up!" I yell. They all pause.
"Buffy that psycho attacked me! Tell me you're going to do something!" Riley yells. No I'm not.
"What did you say to her?" Tara asks. She's quiet but I can tell she's pissed. I wonder why. She had better not be crushing on Faith. Oh no blondie. We are going to have problem.
"Tara, Faith doesn't need a reason to attack. She just does. She's bad. Its who she is." Willow says. If only she knew.
"She's not bad. She wouldn't hit him for no reason. He said something inappropriate." Tara says with confidence.
"Yes she is Tara. Look you weren't here before. She gets off on hurting people." Xander says.
"She never wanted to hurt us." I say. Willow scoffs.
"No she wanted to kill us." she says.
"No she didn't." I whisper.
"Buff come on lets be realistic, if you hadn't stopped her we would all be dead by now. She's evil and nothing more." Xander says. I don't want to tell them. That's her business. But I need to defend her.
"So when are you going to kick her ass." Riley asks.
"She's not." Tara says. Talk about makin your opinion know.
"And just why not?" Riley asks.
"She doesn't need too." she replies.
"Well she's crazy and she tried to kill us and she just tried to rearrange Riley's face. If that's not enough then lets go with the fact she's hmm...evil!" Xander says. Tara takes a deep breath.
"She was never evil she just did what she had too." she says. They look a little lost and I'm wondering just how much she knows.
Really quick but I'll update soon. Oh and don't fret you'll find out what Faith is soon enough.
