Chapter 11
"Willow, please, let me go."
"I can't." Willow walked past Cordelia with a long knife and picked up a small rat. She held it for a moment then stabbed the rat and drained it over a bowl. Cordelia felt her stomach twist and she closed her eyes.
"You don't have to do this. We understand. We'll forgive you."
"I do have to do this. The day is coming. I will have my power. The world will know me."
"We know you. You're Willow. You wouldn't do something like this."
"You've been away a long time Cordelia." Willow finished with the rat and looked thoughtfully at Cordelia. "You're probably hungry." She tossed the dead rat to Cordelia and left the dilapidated building. Cordelia tugged on her bonds to no avail and finally began to weep.

"Come along. Don't say a word." The door to the cell opened and Wesley stepped inside along with 2 other men in uniforms. Faith looked at him in shock. Her cell mate looked up briefly.
"Faith O'Brien you are being transferred." One of the men said cuffing her. He yanked her out of the cell and when they got outside they uncuffed her. The shorter of the men looked at Wesley.
"You have 48 hours to bring her back." He said in a crisp English accent.
"What's going on?"
"Come along Faith. We have no time to spare."
"What's going on? What's with the council members? This is a serious felony."
"Something bad is happening in Sunnydale."
"What else is new?"
"Something that involves you. Cordelia sent me to get you after she was snatched away by a large wolf creature. I think it is connected to the vision she had of Willow."
"What's wrong with Willow?"
"She's out of control."
"Bad?"
"Unfortunately. The power was too tempting." They slid into Wesley's car and drove back to the hotel. They were stopping briefly to pick up some books then heading to Sunnydale.
"So what can I do?"
"I'm not sure really. I only followed Cordelia's instructions." Wesley glanced at the binder of the book he picked up and put it onto the growing pile in Faith's arms.
"Aren't you even going to ask me how jail was? Angel is nice enough to visit sometimes."
"Well I rather think it is depressing and it should make you more depressed taking about it now that you are free and doing what you love." He looked at her with a knowing expression.
"What will these books do?"
"Hopefully tell us who is controlling Fenris so we can stop them." Faith looked at Wesley for a minute. Then a smile cracked her lips.
"You are so daft. Willow is controlling Fenris. It makes sense. That's why Cordelia had both visions."
"That makes her even more dangerous. We don't know what she will do with her."
"I'll call the others." Wesley whipped out his cell phone and Faith dropped the books.
"Willow, please, let me go."
"I can't." Willow walked past Cordelia with a long knife and picked up a small rat. She held it for a moment then stabbed the rat and drained it over a bowl. Cordelia felt her stomach twist and she closed her eyes.
