Chapter 14
Faith cotinued training, she knew she'd have to fight Buffy before the ascension and had to be ready. She tried not to let herself think about them, how she had betrayed those she might've once considered friends. Faith wanted to do this, for him. As she saw it the Watchers had promised to protect her, said it was all about the greater good. Then they betrayed her for accidently killing an enemy. The way she figured it wasn't really about good or evil, right or wrong, it was about power. For all their talk of greater good the Watcher's council just didn't want to be conquered by the Mayor, or see the world destroyed by some pocolyptic cult. The Mayor on the other hand admitted he was evil, yet he loved Faith like a daughter. And she loved him, at least as much as two people such as themselves were capable of that emotion. In a strange way she was glad to be working for Finch's old boss. His acceptance of Faith seemed like a version of forgiveness to her. Faith couldn't fully explain this sensation to herself, but she wanted his approval. And he seemed prime to win. A new day was coming, and Faith was ready to fight for her boss, the closest thing to a father she had ever known.
