Chapter 9: Grief
Belle and the others returned to the diner in absolute silence. They made it to the diner where Emma, Regina, Mr. Gold, and Sidney were waiting to give an update on the search for Miranda. When Emma noticed that Faith wasn't with them she asked", Where did Faith go?" Angela burst into tears again as Henry held her tight. Belle still holding little Bay ran into her husband's arms and sobbed on his shoulder. Then Bay with a heavy heart told them what had happened. The whole room turned quiet as Emma cried a few tears and Regina cried and placed her hand on her belly. Future Faith was killed but she still lived in the past so Regina knew that she would see Faith again. Bay went out to the back alleyway and started stalking back and forth as his mind wandered. He let Faith down today. When they went to the past he promised he would keep her safe. Now she is dead and he may never see her again. Her face still frozen in his mind and his blood boiled. Her chocolate brown eyes went dull and lifeless as the blood trickled down her chest. Even in death she still had confidence in him to save their future. Tears fell from his face as slammed his fists into the wall. His body shook as he fell to his knees sobbing with grief.
"Why did you have to go Faith? Don't you know I'm lost without you?" he asked softly.
"Bay come on man get up", Henry said as he came out to see him.
"Go away", Bay grumbled as he just lay there motionless.
"Come on we still have a mission to complete", Henry told him. Bay got up with an angry glare.
"Mission? What mission? Faith is dead our mission is over okay. We failed our fucking mission so go away!" Bay hissed.
"I know how you feel Bay but we can't let Faith's death go in vain", Henry said trying to be calm.
"You have no idea how I feel! My heart just got ripped out when I saw the woman I love get shot and disappear in my arms. You have no idea how I feel!" Bay shouted.
"Yes I do", Henry argued.
"How do you know I feel then huh smart guy how?" Bay challenged.
"Because, you are not the only one who lost someone today Bay! Faith was my sister I loved her just as much as you did! And she believed in us to complete our mission even though she died for it. So, if you are done feeling sorry for yourself get your ass back in that diner and help us find a way to save our future for Faith!" Henry shouted.
Bay was speechless but muttered" Sorry man you are right we have finish what we started we owe it to Faith". Then the two boys went back to the diner to work out a plan. Back in the woods Miranda was curled up on the floor by the wall. She was shaking as tears fell from her eyes. Her pretty was dead and she did it. She kept looking at her hands with disbelief. Faith died by her hand and now she can never get her back. This was all Bay's fault if he never stole Faith away then she would still be alive. He was selfish and cold-hearted for taking away Miranda's happiness. Faith's death would be avenged through her because she was going to make Bay suffer for Faith dying. Oh yes he was going to die a slow and painful death. She was going to make him suffer the same way Faith suffered. With an evil grin and some more bullets in her gun she jumped in her truck and headed into town.
