Chapter 8

"Here's the plan. We will cause a distraction while Buffy and Angel sneak in and grabs Wes. Everyone got it?" Giles asked.

"Okay, but how do we cause a distraction without getting eaten or something?" Xander asked.

"Run when you get in too much trouble," Buffy reminded them.

"So in your case Xander, do what you usually do," Cordelia teased.

"Ha, ha. Very funny Cordy," Xander replied sarcastically.

"No time to argue, lets go," Buffy said.

Angel pulled her aside, "It'll be ok, Buffy."

She nodded in reply and picked up a sword, and some stakes.

"Why are you hiding, Wes? I can see you, so you may as well stop," Faith said.

She smiled wickedly at him as he hid in the corner, but it had never worked before.

Wesley finally worked up the courage to speak.

"W...why are you so evil?" he asked, looking up at her with tears in his eyes.

Faith sighed and rolled her eyes, crouching down to the floor.

"Well, it started when I accidentally stabbed a man and he died so your friend Buffy told on me and y... a complete idiot tried to take me to the council. I got kinda mad and now I work for evil people. It's that simple," Faith explained.

"B...but you d...don't have to be evil," Wesley said.

Suddenly it hit faith. She stood up and walked over to him, and slid down the wall next to him.

"Why?" Faith asked.

"Cause my mom told me that you chose your own destiny. Don't let anyone tell you what to do with your life."

"You're kinda smart for your age. I don't really think I want to be good or evil. I wanna be me but i can't. I'm a slayer," she said reluctantly.

"My dad worked with a lot of slayers. I talked to them, when i was four... when i was hiding... they all wanted to be normal. Why can't you?" he asked.

"Cause we have a job, to slay vampires. We have to do it, which kinda wreaks all your plans. What were you hiding from?" she asked him.

"Um...my father," Wesley said, suddenly scared again.

"Your father? Why?" she asked, staring at the five year old boy.

"He was going hit me, then put me in the dark. I hate the dark."

"What's the dark, Wes?" Faith asked, getting uncomfortable.

"Its the closet under the stairs, but its okay cause my mom normally gets me out when she comes back from work," he smiled.

"Wow Wes, I never knew that about you," Faith said.

"Can i go home? I want to go home! This place is scary and cold," Wesley pled with her.

She thought for a moment.

Should i let him go? He's had such a hard life. I guess he saved me... now i'll save him.

Faith picked him up.

"Hold on Wes, I'm breaking you out!" she said with determination.

Buffy was walking with Angel towards the mayor's building. She would kill anything to help him. The others trailed behind with them... with weapons.
