"What about my mom?" Buffy said shakily trying to standing up.
"She was drugged, and there's a chance that she might not make it." He chocked out.
"Wesley! You English Prick! Get your arse in here now!" Buffy angrily yelled.
"Buffy, calm..." Giles started.
"Don't tell me to calm down. She's my mother, Giles." Buffy finished before Wesley walked into the room.
Wesley reluctantly went into the room. "Yes?" Was all he got out.
Buffy was struggling against the chains, yelling. "What did you do to my mother?!?!?"
"I can assure you, Buffy. That I didn't do anything to your mother." Wesley said attempting to be calm.
"Bull..." Buffy started but was stopped by Giles.
"Buffy." Giles warned.
"Giles, how can you be improving my language skills when he tried to kill my mother? What if he tries to do that to me? Giles I'm to young to die, again." She said slumping down against the wall. "I didn't even get to tell her that I love her. I didn't get to tell her anything about my life, and now there's a chance that she could be gone." She said bursting into tears.
Giles walked up to the weeping slayer, and put his arms around her. "It'll be okay."
"How can it be okay. I'm being punished because he can't do his job, and because Faith and I had an accident while slaying. For some god awful reason, he's trying to kill my mother." She said leaning into his support.
"Buffy." Wesley started. "I'm really sorry about what happened to your mother, but how do you know it was the counsel?"
"Because I heard what you said to Giles. About sending the assassins." Buffy said glairing at the other man in the room.
Feeling defeated Wesley decided the best course of action would be to leave the room. "Yes, well I'll take leave now. Giles I'm afraid you're time here is up. You'll need to leave Buffy alone." Wesley said turning to walk out of the room.
"Oh I'm not leaving. Buffy needs someone here to help her through this and to insure that she sees her mother tomorrow." Giles said still holding Buffy in his arms giving her comfort.
"Mr. Giles...." Wesley started.
"Wesley, please." Buffy pleaded.
"Fine." Wesley said walking out of the room.
"Thanks Giles." Buffy said relaxing against her fatherly figure.
"Your welcome, Buffy. I just wish that I had gotten there sooner to help Joyce." Giles replied feeling defeated and unsure (for once in his life) of what was going to happen.
"I'm just glad that you got there, Giles." She said looking in to his worried blue eyes.
"Get some rest, it's going to be a hard next couple of days." Giles said leaning against the wall. When she didn't respond he looked down and realized that she was already asleep. "We'll figure this out, Buffy. Night." He whispered kissing the top of her head and falling into a light sleep.
^ The Next Morning ^
Buffy and Giles awoke with a start. "Good Mornin', Rupert." Said one of the counsel's colleges.
"What's the meaning of this?" Giles asked as he was pulled up and away from Buffy.
"Where are you taking him?" Buffy asked standing up and struggling against the chains.
"Now, now, Miss. Summers. None of that." Quinton Travers said walking into the room.
"What are you doing here?" Buffy bitterly asked only pausing for a moment with her struggling.
"I'm here to dispose of Rupert Giles." He replied calmly.
"NO!!!!" Buffy said fearing that she'd lose the only father she's had in her life for the past couple of years.
"Restrain her." He ordered before the chains snapped and she charged. All the members of the counsel thought she would attack Quinton but she went the other way and hit the man holding Giles.
Once Giles was a way from the counsel members and behind her she spoke, "Don't even mess with me. You all are trying to take everything I hold dear, including my mother and nobody messes with my mother."
^ Angel's Studio ^
"Where are we?" Faith asked after walking up from what seemed like a 2 day nap.
"Oh good, you're awake. I was beginning to get worried." Angel said walking into the room part of the studio. "We're at my old place, pre-Angelus."
"Cool." Was all she said until she noticed that she was chain free. Does this mean that he trusts me? "Not that I'm complaining, but where's my chains?"
"I trust you, I know if you were to run you probably would have already done it." Angel said.
Smiling softly she whispered, "Thanks, nobody's ever said that they trusted me." After he didn't say anything she looked into his eyes and knew something was wrong. "What's wrong, Angel?" She asked concerned.
"I went and saw Giles last night to thank him and Buffy for what they did for us when I found out that the new watcher arrested Buffy." He started but then saw her look and asked, "What?"
"No, they can't do that can they?" She said paniking. "I'm the one that did it, not B. They should take me." She said pacing the room.
"Woah, Faith. Everything's going to be okay." When she looked up and into his eyes he saw the tears forming in her eyes. "Faith, listen to me. They believe in you, they're doing this to help you."
"But it should be me." She said tears streaming down her face. "I was the one that made the slip, I should be punished for it."
"IS that what you want?" Angel asked trying to help her without scaring her further.
"Yes," when he looked at her she hurriedly said, "no. I don't know, Angel."
"Shhh, it's okay Faith. We'll work this out. First I'm going to help you and then we'll worry about Buffy." Angel said holding out his hand for her. When she grabbed it he said, "Good. Shall we begin?"
