Faith pov two and a half weeks later
Leaning on the counter in front of Ingrid I slap the surface "one blood lust and rage bar keep" I declare smugly.
She laughs glancing at me "Faith you're drunk".
"Nope now come on"
"I believe your conscience would be upset with you for doing this" Ingrid says calmly.
Waving her off I hop the counter slipping on the ice behind it slightly but catch myself before I fall "I'll serve myself".
Feeling myself jerk I frown looking down seeing ice around my feet up to my knees.
Jerking my leg I huff seeing the ice crack before they're repaired with a casual wave of her hand "we will ask Cordelia if you're allowed to have them" she says taking my phone.
"You know she won't let me" I groan.
"Exactly yet here you are once again after the very thing she said no about"
"She's not my boss, she can't control me, now give me that blood lust and rage" I slur out slightly.
Seeing her turn to make a call I lean against the freezer reaching out trying to grab them.
After a moment I smirk finally able to grab them, digging my hand in one then the other I shove it in mouth before going for another scoop.
"Faith no" Ingrid says taking them away.
"How did you get these out" she demands looking at the other end where they should be.
Humming I lick my fingers smugly "not bad, taste like red wine and dark chocolate.
Seeing headlights in the window I look seeing Cordy jump out before rushing in "Faith" she demands glaring at me.
Humming I smile at her "not human" I say smugly.
"I have no clue how she got them out" Ingrid mutters looking at me then the freezer.
"You didn't" Cordy hisses at me.
Looking at her I frown, I don't see why she's so upset it was her idea to try learning magic in fact her exact words were if Willow can then we can, just imagine a Slayer with magic you would have an advantage over others.
Standing there I frown watching them talking and motioning to me till the bell on the door sounds, looking I see a redhead looking at me confused before looking at Cordy and Ingrid.
"Just a moment I have your order ready" Ingrid says.
Once she walks away Cordy slaps the counter getting in my face "blood lust and rage Faith, you know what gives you your power, they have absolutely no control worse when caught in that yet you decide to test it to see if it will effect you" she hisses.
Scoffing I lift my arms shrugging "just fine Cordelia, it did nothing to me" I snap.
"Yes because that's clearly the problem not the fact that you decided to risk everything just because you're told no, you could have lost control and hurt everyone you love" she says loudly before taking a deep breath closing her eyes.
"Faith I said no because I didn't want you to lose control you know how bad that can get" Cordy adds after a moment.
Looking at her I cross my arms seeing she looks disappointed and hurt when looking at me.
"Cordy" I say softly reaching my hand out to her but she steps back shaking her head.
"No Faith, you promised me you wouldn't eat it just this morning, someday you have to learn to stop living with that want, take, have attitude"
Looking down I frown while noticing I'm no longer frozen in place "let's just go".
Following after Cordy I sigh ducking my head down I really fucked up this time, she's never gotten this upset with me not since Sunnydale and even then it wasn't only me.
Pulling up to the house I follow Cordy to the room but stop looking confused when she takes the extra guest room.
Moving to follow she puts a hand on my chest stopping me "Faith I want to be alone tonight".
Jerking back I tense up sneering at her only to feel her kiss my cheek "I'm upset with you and do not want to say something in anger that hurts you, I just need space" she says before closing the door on me.
Standing there a moment I turn heading back downstairs only to find Regina coming in shaking her head and heading for the kitchen.
She stops and looks at me "disagreement?"
Grunting I stare at her, like hell I'm telling her anything about it "let's see if I can guess this" she says casually.
"You did something impulsive or forgot something that's important, Ms. Chase is upset and now your conflicted because you know why she's upset but feel like she shouldn't be because it's your life".
Glaring at her I see her sit a box of donuts on the table sliding them to me "I had a friend who warned me against something, I knew deep down she was right but I felt out of control and needed it back, it helped that I was convinced my choice was the only way".
Frowning I look at the table not speaking "in the end she was correct, my choice cost me the few things I had that meant anything to me including her friendship, it took a while for me to recover from that reality, I set out to follow what dreams I could but I'm always aware of the price I paid".
Looking up at her I raise my brow "I know you'll make your own choice and didn't ask for it but my advice is, Ms. Chase clearly loves you and only wants the best for you, it's okay to admit you messed up and apologize to her".
