Chapter 10: Faye's Confession
Faye's P.O.V
Once Vanellope led Turbo to the hallway to talk I stood there with my tail twitching. "Why didn't you tell us you knew Turbo?" Ralph asked looking at me. He looked angry but I didn't know if he was angry at me or just mad because Turbo was here.
"I never knew he did those horrible things Ralph. All my life I stayed in the shadows out of sight and out of the way. This whole thing you are telling is me is the first time I heard of it. You have every right to be angry for what he did was beyond wrong. Yet I am telling you the Turbo I knew would have never done this. He was kind and good and he cared about me. I still care about him please I know he can change with help," I told him. Okay I was upset at T but I of all people knew what it was like to have everyone judge you and never give you a chance.
Ralph's face softened as he spoke. "Look Faye I know Turbo was your friend maybe even a second father figure to you. Maybe at one time he was good and now that he has you maybe he will be good again. Yet I am not letting Vanellope be harmed again by him. This puts me at a very tender position I see you as my friend and I can't even understand how you can call someone like Turbo friend," he said.
I looked away understanding what he meant. "Maybe because I understand what it is like to judged and hated for being created. I am not saying it will be easy but for my sake can you at least try to give him a chance?" I asked.
"Faye," Ralph said looking away.
"Please Ralph I am asking you as my friend. If you are worried about T I assure you I will watch him and keep him far away from Vanellope that way he can't hurt her," I said. Maybe I should just take T and leave Sugar Rush. Go someplace deserted and stay there out of everyone's way. I didn't want to leave my friends but I couldn't just turn my back on T either. It was partly my fault he turned evil to begin with.
"Okay Faye, I will try and give him a chance but I do not trust him," Ralph said firmly. "Not until he earns my trust anyways," Ralph added.
"Fair enough," I agreed. Just then I saw Vanellope and Turbo coming out and Vanellope looked concerned.
"Faye, someone is here to see you," she said.
"Who is it?" I asked. Before, she could say who I saw him coming into the room. "Michael," I said in shock.
"Faye, oh thank goodness Faye I am so happy to see you!" Michael cried rushing over to me. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tight. Then he quickly let go and glared at me. "Wait a minute no I am not. Where in the world have you been? He demanded.
"Michael, what are you doing here?" I asked him.
"What am I doing here? What am I doing here? I have been spending the past few days acting like a chicken with his head caught off searching for you. You and I agreed to go look for the sword a few days ago. I come back and you disappeared and I had no idea where you were. No note, no message of any kind. Do you have any idea how worried I was about you? I thought the demons got you, or you were killed in some game. Where in the world were you?" Michael said his voice full of concern.
"Look I am sorry I worried you. I just had to go away for a bit," I said to him.
"What do you mean you had to go away?" Michael asked raising his eyebrow.
"Uh Faye, not meaning to interrupt but who is your friend?" Felix asked. The Sugar Rush residents decided to leave not wanting to get involved in more drama. That left only myself, my cats, Felix, Tamora, Ralph, Vanellope, Turbo, and Michael in the room.
"Oh this is my friend Michael, and Michael these are my friend Turbo, Vanellope, Felix, Tamora, and Ralph," I said to them. They all exchanged hellos but soon Michael turned his attention back to me.
"Now tell me why you left?" he asked his voice much softer.
"Because well um you never needed my help, you could easily find the sword on your own I was just in the way," I said to him.
"Faye, what are you talking about I only gotten this far because of you. And you have to come back when you saved me the customer saw you. Everyone thinks you are a new upgrade and when they saw us working together our game became more popular. If you don't show up our game might be unplugged," Michael said seriously.
"Oh come on Michael it won't be that bad. They probably forgotten all about me and you can find the sword no problem. Now go on home and work on finding the sword," I told him trying to sound calm and casual.
"I am not going anywhere without you," he said stubbornly folding his arms.
"Oh quit being stubborn. Now I said you don't need my help now go on," I said firmly.
"Alright, Faye spill. Why did you really leave the game?" Michael asked.
"I just told you, it was because you didn't need me you never needed me," I said fearing I would slip.
"Anthony said something to you didn't he?" Michael asked.
"What no he didn't," I said.
"What did he say to you?" Michael asked taking a step forward.
"Nothing, now get back to your game," I said firmly.
"Tell me what that pompous feather head say to you!" Michael cried.
"I told you he said nothing to me!" I yelled.
"He threatened you didn't he? What did he say Faye?" Michael asked getting closer.
"I wasn't the one he was threatening!" I shouted but quickly covered my mouth. Everyone soon became silent.
"What do you mean Faye?" Michael asked. I turned away from everyone as the tears fell. Ash and Flame leaped to my side rubbing my legs.
"Faye, he needs to know," Ash said.
"They all do," Flame added. I looked at them and knew they were right.
"Anthony was going to take your wings okay," I said looking at Michael.
"What?" he asked his tone sounding a mixture of fear and anger.
"Why would he take my wings?" Michael asked.
"Because you broke the rules Michael, you became my friend and asked me to help you. I am an outcast and when Anthony learned of the customers seeing me well he grew angry. Since he couldn't take my wings he was going to take yours. That way you would never complete your mission and never become a Head Angel. I couldn't let that happen so the only way he would spare you is if I left the game and never came back," I said looking down.
"Why, that sleaze bag!" Tamora growled.
"Exactly what I was thinking honey," Felix said folding his arms.
"I don't get it why can't he take your wings Faye?" Vanellope asked.
"Anthony can only take the wings of angels; I am half angel so my demon code protects me. Anthony has no power over me but he does over the other angels," I explained.
"Why that scum bag, wait till I find him I will run him down!" Turbo yelled angrily.
"Easy T," I said gently.
"Look Faye, I know Anthony thinks he controls everything but once we find the sword and unlock the Angel of Justice he or she will become the new ruler and Anthony will have to listen to the Angel of Justice. That way I keep my wings and everyone will see you belong in the game too," Michael said smiling at last.
"Michael we have no idea if this Angel of Justice will accept me. Or if this sword exits I mean we searched everywhere in the game," I said.
"Not everywhere," Michael said slyly. My eyes went wide with fear.
"Michael no that place is suicide for you and the other angels," I told him.
"Which would make it the perfect place to hide the sword," Michael said grinning wider.
"What are you guys talking about?" Ralph asked getting confused.
"Michael thinks the sword is in the Dark Caves, a place in my game also it is deep Demon Territory. Any angel that goes there will be dead," I said to him.
"Which is why I need my partner to help me, you know the Dark Caves better than anyone. So, come on Faye let's do it. What do we have to lose? Let's show Anthony that you do belong and you can be part of the game," Michael said walking up to me.
"It won't matter Michael, I could help you find the sword a million times over he will never accept me," I said frowning.
"Yet, if you do find it we can at last prove that Anthony was wrong about you and that you can be good. I don't care if you are half demon Faye, all I see is the same girl that saved me from those demons. If you were evil as you claim you are you would have let me die. Yet you saved me, healed me, and became my friend. I am going to the Dark Caves Faye, but I want you to come with me," Michael told me. Then he held my hand and looked me in the eyes. "Come on Faye, we are almost there," he whispered.
I saw the determination in his eyes and if I did help find the sword it would be nice to prove Anthony wrong. Plus I couldn't let Michael go alone for he would be killed. "Okay I am in," I said smiling.
"I am going with you," Turbo said.
"T this is no race it will be dangerous," I told him.
"You are my little girl Faye, and I am not letting anything bad happen to you," he said firmly.
"I am going too," Vanellope said.
"You will need my fighting abilities," Tamora said.
"My strength too," Ralph said.
"And my hammer will come in handy," Felix said. I couldn't believe it all my friends were willingly to help me. It was so touching I had tears in my eyes.
"Alright guys grab what you can, we have a sword to find," I said. They all smiled and we prepared to go back to Heavenly Wars.
