Journal entry of Faye
Last night onyx met at the crossroads. Robin brought someone with her. It was Hunter Nail! I can only imagine what he is doing here. I have go to see him again, but I am afraid. I have no idea how much of the books are true. The things that I have done, that Robin has done, could get us both hurt and what about the others? Not that they are really anything dangerous at all.....still. What am I bothering about. I am going to get this guy, wrap him around my finger and then we will see who wears the Braigh around here.
Later that night.
"You have got to be kidding? Why should I tell you about what I am investigating, and who says that I am investigating anything?" Hunter was more than flustered that the red headed bitch Robin was going to accuse him of being some kind of Wiccan spy out to get everyone burned at the stake.
"Look you limy bastard, Faye and I both know about the Council, we know about you, and what it is that you do and what you are capable of. So why don't you just fess up to it so we can get on with our lives, cos I am not gong to be a part of this Investigation that you doing. I showed you all there is to see here".
"What are you talking about?" Oh goddess don't tell me that they have read all of the books ,heard about them one thing; read them another.Hunter prayed silently.
"Faye and I have read all of the books, Hunter Nail". Robin spit his name out like it was a curse. He was never going to live this down he was going to have to change his name or something.
"Look I never thought that it would go this far, she seamed like a nice woman and I needed to get so much off of my chest and she understood..." Hunter sat down at the kitchen table and hung his head. This was going to be a part of his punishment
.
"She understood, a story that could make some money, and not for you, my dear boy." Robin smoothed his hair down. She had a little sympathy for him. " It is hard to learn who to trust and who not to trust, Hunter. Things with people aren't the same as it is with us". He looked up at her. Robin had the distinctive aura of a blood witch, on a scale of one to ten he would give her a six, if she practiced. he estimated that her power level could go as high as eight. She turned away from him and put a steel kettle on to boil.
"Why did you read the books ?" he fiddled with the lazy Susan in the middle of the table watching the duck headed salt and pepper shakers and napkins go round. He realized that he was tired and calm. She must do something to the house. One of her cats jumped into the chair next to him and meowed at him.
"Faye gave them to me a couple at a time until I had read them all. I think that she wanted someone to talk to about them. Faye has a tendency to get obsessed with something and go after it like, well like a pit bull. She gets hold of something shakes the life out of it or she gets bored and moves on".
The woman set a cup of steaming brew in front of him he hadn't noticed what she put in it. She sat down and petted the cat that had said hello to him but it was still in the chair and then it was gone. "Robin?"
"Yeah Hunter?" She sipped her tea.
"Do you have two calico cats?" He could have sworn that....
"No, Just Buffy here, and Willow the black one. Why did you see another Calico?" She looked at him a little hopeful, a little flattered.
" I thought that Buffy was sitting in this chair," Hunter pointed to the chair on his right. " Then you petted her and she was there and the other cat was still in the chair?" Robin smiled and took a deep breath, then she laughed. "What is so funny?" Hunter was starting to feel very sleepy, and the thought that someone was laughing at him was to much for him to bear.
"I'm not laughing at you silly man. Come with me and bring your tea." Hunter followed her into the living room there above the fireplace as a small brass urn with picture frames of her holding a calico cat and another with the cat alone. "You saw Piewhachet, she was my familiar before I got Willow or Buffy. Shes the reason that I have either of them. I didn't know if she would come with me when I moved into this house, if you saw her then she came her too. Thank you for telling me."
"Your familiar? I have heard about ghosts, but a cat ghost?" Hunter had read stories about familiars and how they were bound to their masters, but this was different tales he heard where old wives tales in comparison.
"Yeah, I was there when she was born and I was there when Buffy was born too, I freaked when Buffy came out I thought Pie had reincarnated. But I don't think that she will any time soon not if she can still be seen".
"So you can"t see her?"
"Sometimes but its only out of the corner of my eye sometimes I think that it is Buffy like you did and Buffy is locked up in a room or asleep somewhere. I see her the most in dreams she is still with me in a way."
"Why did you stop practicing?" Hunter was just starting to put things together.
"When I lost Pie I lost a part of myself too. She was like a daughter to me, I wasn't a good mother to her I could've done better by her. I blame myself and the craft for a lot of that."
"Is that why you don't practice any more?" Hunter was examining her aura again. Robin had taken down the urn and held it close like it was alive. There did appear to be some energy coming from the vessel itself that blended with her aura.
"I only practice now when it is needed. Power should not be abused, the gods don't like being toyed with and neither do the elements. The world is much more interesting when you don't have control ,than when you think that you do have it." She placed the urn back onto the mantel. "I'm going to turn in for the night, Hunter. Tomorrow we will talk some more."
The next day
The phone began ringing.
"Hey Faye", Robin could tell who it was just by the tone the ringer took.
"Hey! How do you do that?" Faye was sometimes amazed at how accurate Robin could be, practising or not, she could be impressive.
"A good witch never tells, that and Caller ID helps". Psych, "What's up?". Here it comes-thought Robin, "can I come over, is Hunter there?"
"Well I wanted to see what you were doing tonight, I thought that we could get together? Am I being to obvious?"
"You know that you are acting as conspicuous as you looked climbing over the cemetery fence when we got locked in that time." Robin liked being the one to rub in disgraceful memories too sometimes. Just then Hunter walked into the room and raised an eyebrow at her. Robin laughed she wasn't sure what he would make out of what she said, but he would be on his toes today for sure.
"Is he still there? Did he hear you say that? Oh my Gods how could you do that to me! I guess you warned him too." Robin could be a real bitch sometimes meddling in her affairs. if she ruined this forher she was going to......
"Do you have a problem Faye? Yes, he is here, you want to talk to him? I didn't think that you would. Look ,Faye, he and I are going to be here all day getting ready for things tonight. be here by 3 this afternoon bring some thing for circle here tonight. just a couple of other people will be here. Don't forget to bring your friends phone numbers along and addresses. Hunter will need to interview each of them in his own time over the next few days. Cool?"
"You are serious aren't you? What has he said about this? why is he here?Does he suspect anything?" Why do I bother, she doesn't know anything yet-Robin thought.
"No he hasn't ,but I know what I would want to know, if I had been sent on a mission and I imagine that the people that Don't help him won't be to high on the totem pole."
" Yeah got it, see you then."
"Okay I'll be sure to tell Hunter that you said Hello!" Robin snickered,she didn't know which one she was going to have more fun with-Huner or Faye!
