Chapter 1

LA, Prison

"Oh God, Oh God, I can't take this no more, YOU FUCKEN IDIOTS TAKE ME TO THE FRICKIN HOSPITAL, I NEED A DOCTOR YOU BASTARDS".

"Hey faith cut it out" one of the guards yells at her while standing out of her cell

Guard2: "Tommy look she's pleading we need to take her to the infirmary"

Tommy: "No way man, we will leave her here till she dies, there is no other way"

Guard2:"but it's our responsibility we don't have no choice I'm not goanna risk my job for Jake and his gang sake! This is stupid man and you know it".

Faith: " GET ME OUT OF HERE YOU ANIMALS!"

guard2: "come on man we don't have other choice"

Tommy: "ok...open the damn door"

Summer's house

Buffy: "look mom, all I'm saying is that I'm over Angel now" Pause "in fact, I'm over all the men species, no all the human species!"

Willow: "and the vampire's species"

Joyce: "honey, all I want for you is just to be happy"

Buffy: "I know mom and I'm really happy, see all happiness nothing else"

Xander: "did Giles tell you guys why he called for a meeting"

Willow: "No but I think its serious coz he asked to have it in Buffy's house with her mom"

They all looked to Joyce with concern, Buffy can scene that her mom knows something but she didn't want to say anything, she decided to wait for Giles. They waited for him for half hour, the look on his face shows concern and fear, and they all can feel that the matter is not easy.

Giles: "Well ahh...o-of course you all are concerned of why I gathered you here" they all shoot him with a boring look "well, yes... see... mmm" Buffy yelled at him with anger " what the what Giles! Don't tell me we have a new demon in town!"

Willow: "God nooooo, we already get rid of Adam I want a break... and we don't have time to study and the mid-terms are are..." willows face was getting the same as her hair color.

Xander: "willow breath" Buffy give him a small smile and put her hand in the back of her best friend.

Willow: "oh! Thanks"

Giles: "children, listen please its not about demons it's about...it's...its faith"

The look on there faces was priceless, they never talked about her since her confession in LA, the look on Buffy's face was a look of rage and tiredness, she didn't hate faith but she was tired of her games, she was tired of faith blaming her for everything, tired of faith trying to steel her life away. she was awakened from her thoughts by Xander voice..." well it's another type of demons".

Giles: "look Angel called me last night... they are letting her out for good..." willow snapped in anger: "what! They can't do that, for god sake she is a psychopathic killer?"

Buffy: "yes Giles, how could they do that? And why did they call Angel?"

Giles looked at Buffy with hesitation and then he looked at Joyce, they exchange a nod and continue "When Faith confess, she was a minor so they needed a family member, Angel asked me to connect the council to see if they have any information about her family but it appears that she was careful to not tell them anything even her last name, that's when miss Summers...umm...Joyce accepted to be her aunt" with the end of this phrase Buffy's eyes widened and she looked at her mother with anger " your kidding right.. Please say that it's a joke...MOM?"

Joyce: "we didn't have another choice Buffy, if the judge and jury didn't see that faith have a family and any type of normal life they would consider her a street child and give her more than 10 years punishment"

Xander: "who cares what punishment she gets..."

Joyce snapped with anger and hit the table with her hand: "I care... she is a child just like you, if anything like that happened to one of you I would be the first one to step for the help"..."we could never do something like that" willow said but with a calming voice.. "you don't know that for sure willow, look she made mistakes and she hurt you all I know that because she hurt me too when she hurts my little girl but I don't think we should ruin her life just because she made those mistakes" she look to Buffy and give her a small smile, Buffy return the smile but with a bit of fear and hesitation.

Giles: "any way, when your mom did this we didn't consider that Faith will be out before finishing her time and..." he was interrupted by Buffy: "so why is she out so soon?"

Xander: "yea she's only been there for six months"

Giles: "Unfortunately we don't have time for such conversation, Angel is waiting for me and Joyce we must be in LA as soon as possible, so perhaps we can delay the talk to when we get back" they all look unhappy and willow was trying to protest but Joyce talked first: "we wanted to warn you first".

Giles waited in the living room until Buffy back some of her stuff after she insisted to go with them to LA.
