Falling to Fly

Chapter 7

Shooting up in bed the dark brunette slayers mind was shot out of the dream world and back into the reality of the real world. She groaned as all of her memories and thoughts situated themselves calmly in her mind. Blinking, she sighed and sat up. It wouldn't due to laze around all day doing nothing. If she had to do something she'd go down and train and wait for clients.

As she spent energy on the punching bag her thoughts went back to Sunnydale when it was just her and her sister-slayer hunting the dead beats that drank blood.

/..."B, why do you do this?".../

/..."Do what, Fay?".../

/...She waved her arms in front of her to motion it abstractly. "This. Stay in Sunnydale with the Scoobies when they're such asses to you. They don't care".../

/..."I know, but they're my friends. I can't just abandon them. Besides, the minute I did leave, something would decide it just couldn't wait for May and would crash into something to destroy the world. Then they would all die and all I would do is feel guilty.".../

/..."But you feel guilty anyways.",,,/

/..."Yeah, but Angel is here. I love Willow and Giles and even Xander sometimes, though I will never forgive him for what he did. If I left now then I would be a coward. And we're Slayers. Slayers aren't cowards.".../

/..."What did Xander do?".../ there was a pause then as the blonde slayer had to decide what to tell.

/..."When Angel was Angelus... When I was heading to the mansion to kill Angelus, he never told me that Willow was performing the spell. In hindsight I should have known something was off right away but I took it in as Willow's shock that he'd inadvertently hurt them. Xander said that Willow said to 'Kick his ass' and for that I had no warning... I had to kill my lover because one of my friends was to jealous to just give me warning. If he just would have told me then maybe, maybe I could have done something else and I wouldn't have had to hurt him at all..." .../

There was another pause as the younger slayer took this all in and realize Buffy's life wasn't peaches and cream. /..."So, we're Sister Slayers?".../

/... "Till the end".../

Faith had come out of the grave yard that night realizing that Buffy was always in love with Angel and anyone could betray you. Confused, she thought about what happened later in that year and wondered why she thought it was Buffy that had betrayed her and the blonde slayer never liked her.

In that moment when she reviewed her feelings, she came to the realization that Buffy really did love her like a psychotically-little twin sister. But she was still deeply confused as to why she had been turned to betray her older sister slayer. There was no real cause she came to point. Her eyes closed and the skin bunched as she worried over that.

This has been sitting on my comp. for a long time, so I have decided to get rid of it. It'll probably be a while till I add more to this one though...
