Chapter 9: The Shock
Author's Notes: I really want to know if this story is good or not. plz feed me back
She was resting her head on her knees, sopping like a child, she couldn't stop crying. She felt that she was crying for her suffering and pain all those years. She flinched and raises her head when she heard someone entering the room and when she saw her heart stop.
"Buffy!" she said whispering to her self "am I dreaming or what?"
"No Faith, you're not" she sit beside her "I'm not dead, the council didn't kill me" Faith raised her chained hand as much as she can and start to touch Buffy's face. Buffy was smiling inwardly but she didn't want to show any affection at least not now.
"Thank god you're a live, oh god, I didn't kill you, thank god" she said between laughing and sopping. Buffy felt like hugging the younger slayer and reassure her, she wanted to tell her that everything will be ok and she will gain control again on her life. She will make her life better just like she said to Carol. She found her self crying with Faith.
"Buffy, before you say anything. I want to tell you that I will accept anything you said even if you killed me" Buffy didn't feel any fear on her voice, she felt sadness, remorse and regret "I'm not a killer Faith" "No you're not this will be me, you're the slayer" again she didn't feel any mocking or sarcasm in her voice. Faith stated the words as she was stating facts. They stayed staring at each other for minutes until Buffy smiled softly, Faith's eyes widened with confusion "Faith, what do you really expecting me to do with you?" Faith thought a little and then answered like she found the last piece of the puzzle "You can turn me on, I will confess and then mostly they will kill me" "Do you want that?" Faith took a deep breath and let a short laugh "I don't think I'm on a position to say whether I like it or not" Buffy didn't comment she looked at her for a moment "I'm hungry, I'll see what I can find down there" she put her hand on Faith's knee but remove it when she flinched "I'll be back in a minute"
"So, how it's going up there" Angel asked with curiosity "I didn't hear fighting or cursing" Buffy laughed at him "I don't know Angel, I believe that she want to change but I'm scared...what if Wesley was right?" "He's not Buffy, I can understand her feelings, I've been there once and this is the best time to make her open up and feel trusted again"
"You're right, do you have anything to eat...mm...beside the blood of course" she smiled sheepishly at him "of course"
She took the food tray and went upstairs, when she entered the room she found Wesley pointing a gun to Faith.
"What exactly you think you're doing?" Buffy asked placing the tray on the table
"Look Buffy, I will not let you do stupid mistakes. I was her watcher and ..."
"And you failed, and we are the one paying for it. So give me the gun before I do something stupid" Faith looked at her with confusion "Fine but don't come crying when she went psycho on you again" he hand her the gun and before he turn out he look at Faith with digest and spit on her.
Faith didn't react, she lower her head and closed her eyes but Buffy saw one tear dropping from her eyes. Buffy remembered her feelings when the council guy spat on her, she grabbed Wesley from his shirt and slammed him by the wall "Don't ever spat on her again or any one else as a mater of fact, she was the one that saved your ass several times, she was the one that saved a lot of people in the middle of the night while you was sitting on your chair sipping your tea on your fancy house and you was the first one to turn your back at her" Wesley was taken back by Buffy's out burst and Faith had her jaw drop open from surprise.
"Now say, I'm sorry Faith, please accept my apology" Buffy said calmly to him and he was looking at her like she lost her mind "Say it, now". Wesley look at Faith and repeat Buffy's words, she lose her grip on him and he storm out of the door.
"You shouldn't do that, I deserve everything he did and more..." Faith said not looking into her eyes "Yes you deserve a punishment but no one ever deserve to be humiliated" Buffy said with anger, Faith smiled a little and look at her eyes "Who spat on me else?" Buffy laughed at her "The council" "Only the council, that's a progress, looks like you've been a good girl with my body" Buffy raised her eyebrow at her and start to unlock her chains "What exactly you think you are doing?" Faith asked with surprise "I know you're slow Faith but I don't think you're that slow" Faith smirked at her "I know what you're doing Buffy but why?" at this point Faith was unchained and free.
