CPOV.
Call me crazy but at the moment I don't care that the mayor is holding a gun to Matthew's head. Yeah I'm crazy. I just wish Faith would hurry the hell up. I mean her brother can only do so much himself. Sure he's strong but he's not that strong. The mayor is all 'I'm invincible look at me' but Faith'll come and show him. He doesn't know what the word invincible means. Nope. No siree. Where the hell is she?!
FPOV.
Damn. He's got it blocked from magic. Oh he's good. I had to fuckin walk all the way here. I don't know how I knew but I just did. I knew he wouldn't do nothin til I got there. So I took my time. I'm standin outside the door now. Marques is fightin him. Well more like 'sparrin' with him. He aint even usin half his strength. Funny to see his silly self hoppin around like he's some kinda boxer or somethin.
"Cameron, don't play with people and you don't know where they've been." I say casually strollin in. he stops messin with the mayor.
"But I was bored and I couldn't help it. What took ya kid?" he asks me.
"Place is blocked off from magic. Right mayor Wilkins?" I ask Richard. Go ahead and confirm what I already know.
"Right you are Faithy. That's why the witch couldn't do any spell, your aunt can't orb in, and your brother couldn't take me." he says lookin smug.
"Uh Faith? You might want to concentrate on your son. Ya know the little boy whos currently looking at the gun the mayor is holdin." Xander says. I look over at Matt and he looks terrified.
"Mommy help me." he says. It almost breaks my heart.
"You come to make a deal and if I don't agree you gonna shoot my son?" I ask the mayor. Marques is tryin so hard not to snicker.
"Well yes actually. You come back to work for me and I'll let the boy live." he says. There goes that damn smug smile again. I look from him to Matt.
"Shoot him." I say with a shrug. He falters for a moment.
"Excuse me. You're willing to let your own son die? You really are evil." he says.
"You're still talkin, I said shoot him." I hear a few gasps when they realize I'm serious. I'm not here to save nobody. I'm here to kill him. There won't be an Ascension.
"Well if you insist." he says and he pulls the trigger. I yawn. God talk about wastin my time.
"That was fun." I say walkin over to him. "But it shows how much you know about me." I say with my own smug smile. I grab his chin and for the first time I see fear in his eyes.
"Yo Fai, don't draw it out dude. Just do it. We got more important shit to think about." Marques says. I nod. I squeeze a little and his eyes go wide before he starts to sweat then his skin goes blue. He stops breathin and everything in his body freezes. Finally his eyes roll back in his head.
"Faith." marques says.
"Oh alright." I concentrate and his head explodes. Whoa cool. Cliché but cool.
"Thank you. So anyway we gotta talk." marques says.
"Faith! He...he killed your son!" I stare at willow for a moment then the body. I shrug and walk over to marques throwin an arm over his shoulder leading him out.
BPOV.
We've been looking for hours and nothing. I'm tired and I want to get back to Faith to make sure she's ok. But something in me just doesn't let me stop looking. Paige just tried to orb to the library to check in but she couldn't. That is beyond odd. But then again this is sunnydale. It would be odd if we had a normal day. She stands in place for a moment before almost collapsing. I grab her around her waist and put my arm over my shoulder. She gasps and looks dazed for a few minutes. Ok what the hell was that?
"Wow and wow." she says.
"What?" she shakes her head.
"Faith just tapped into the power of the charmed." she says. Ok is anybody else confused.
"I thought she was already using it. Like before and things." she shakes her head.
"No, she never used the charmed powers. Like I told you earlier she is more powerful than I could imagine. We don't know how or why but she's good so we don't worry. But just now, she tapped into the family power and it gave me a freakin rush. Like...like I just had eight energy drinks so imagine how she feels." she says sounding completely amazed at the power her niece possesses. Hell I am too.
"If she ever went evil, she'd be dangerous beyond a big bad wouldn't she?" I have to ask. She nods.
"Oh yeah, like if you two fought to the death, for what ever reason, and you gained the upper hand you still wouldn't win." she says.
"What do you mean?" I ask her.
"Well for example...say you stabbed her and she fell off a roof, the most that would happen is she'd end up in a coma." she says. Well that's a crazy scenario. Oh well. Glad I don't have to worry about it.
"Oh ok. You ready to head back?" I ask. She nods.
"Yeah. Let me orb you home." she says. I smile.
"Alright you show off you." I say and she slaps my arm lightly.
CPOV.
Well that was...interesting. so... the mayor is dead. Matt is dead? Nah I don't think so. Faith and Marques walk back into the library laughing.
"Ok Faith, what the hell is your problem?" willow yells in her face. Slowly her smile fades and she gets a blank expression.
"You." she says simply.
"Ok I know that. I mean you let your son get killed. That's the same as murder." I see a series of emotions play in Faith's eyes before they go back blank.
"Will you ever see me as I don't know...human?!" Faith asks her. Willow looks at her blankly just like Xander and I didn't know Giles was here.
"Well Faith I'm sure she would if you acted like one." Giles says cleaning his glasses.
"God you guys she isn't a monster you know." I say. I can't believe them. Things are finally falling into place.
"She let her own son die. I think that classifies her as a monster." Xander says.
"That..." I start pointing at the body. "isn't Matt." I say. Everything makes so much sense to me.
"It looks a hell of a lot like him." Xander says to me.
"Yeah the mayor mighta been able to get him away from their dad." Willow says. I'm about to say something to her when piper and phoebe walk in.
"Hey guys ho-...oh my god what the hell is that?!" Piper shrieks pointing at 'Matt.' faith and her brother laugh. "Stop laughing and clean it up!" she yells at them. They just laugh harder. Hell even phoebe is laughing.
"Um hello! Is anybody missing the point that Faith let her son get killed?!" sometimes willow should just shut up. The three buffoon's giggles die down. And Faith speaks up.
"Geeze Red. Despite what you thinka me I'm not, like Cordy said, a monster. That's not my son and I know it." she says. Willow crosses her arms over her chest.
"And how can you be sure?" she asks.
"One I'm his mother and two the mayor blocked all magic from getting in. Matt is pure magic, no trace of human." she says with a shrug. Willow seems to think.
"But I thought his dad was human." she says.
"Nope. That boy is 100 percent magic. Amazing you'd think he inherited some human from me but nope. And even if it was Matt the mayor wouldn'ta been able to kill him." she says.
"What do you mean?" Xander asks.
"Well Matt woulda been scared yeah cus hello he's only two but he also don't like my bein threatened and he don't like bein threatened either. The mayor threatened to kill him in away that was directed at both of us, he woulda killed the mayor then. Plus I'm positive because I felt Paige trying to orb in and it didn't work and she's more human than Matt." she says.
"Oh." they say at the same time. Faith just rolls her eyes.
"So we got a plan." marques says. "We know how to get Matt back." I brighten at this.
"how?" I ask excitedly.
"We stop lookin..."
alright I know cliffhanger booooo anyway sorry for anybody who thought Faith had lost it at the beginning of the chapter. And I know its short but I'll update soon.
