Thinking of an Angel
A raven haired beauty walked down the dark alley behind the Hyperion hotel. With a fat tear rolling down her cheek she surveyed the scene before her. Dozens of demons lay dead in the darkened alley.
'I can't believe Angel did all of this.' she thought to herself. 'I have to admit though he went out with a bang.' suddenly Riley Finn and some other commandos run past her and further into the alley. Ignoring what they were doing she goes back into her musings.
'All my life I never had anyone who believed in me. That is until Angel came around.' she thought sadly. 'When everyone turned against me after I....' she couldn't bring herself to say it, nevertheless think it.
'When I was in my bad place.' she corrected herself. 'I never got a chance to tell him I loved him. He was like a brother to me and he helped me through my dark times. He was my hero. But then when he needed me I wasn't there for him.'
'I finally had someone who would hold me and tell me that I could make it and I let him down. I let him get killed. I should have been here or at least died by his side. But that's not what Angel said to me. He told me years ago that me and him were alot alike, but I had a choice. And that no matter what he did that there would always be an elevator waiting to send him to hell.'
Looking around in the alley she shook her head. 'No that can't be. The Powers can't send him to hell for what he's done here. My God he saved the world. If he can't be redeemed for that then how can I be redeemed for what I did to Finch...." she trailed off at that last part.
'I called Angel the day before this happened and I told him about the dreams I was having. He told me not to worry about the dreams and to just live my life. He pulled some strings so I wasn't wanted anymore and I was just free. He then told me that he loved me and that maybe he'd see me around someday. I should have known then that something was wrong. A guy like Angel doesn't go around saying that he loves you. I should have been here for him. But maybe he wanted to protect me again. Like he tried to do for me in Sunnydale.'
Thinking back to all of the time she had spent with Angel she began to cry.
"Hey Faith, are you ok?" Buffy asked as she put a comforting hand on the boston native's shoulder.
"Yeah B, I'm fine. Just doin' some thinking." Faith replied as she begun to rub madly at her eyes.
'Just thinking about Angel.' she thought to herself as another tear fell.
The End
