A/N: Hey Everybody, here I am, posting a new story. So, I thought I was going to write just one story, but thanks to certain person's demands, I'm writing this Fayana Fanfic. I hope you liked it.

I tried to write it as a one shot, I swear I tried... but it seems like it's not in me to write short stories xD. So, this is going to be at least a 2 chapter story... who knows? maybe more... it depends.

Disclaimer: Nope, the secret circle does not belong to me, the only thing I have is a friend who is very persuasive xD

"So tell me again, why is it that Cassie can do magic alone?" Faye asked a little annoyed. It wasn't a secret for anybody that since they had to bind the circle, allowing them to perform magic only when they were together, she was a little upset. Not being able to use her own abilities without the presence of others made her feel powerless, completely naked, like she wasn't even the powerful witch she was.

"Faye, we are not sure of much, so could you give it a rest? Stop being so stubborn about it. Why must you be so obsessed about it?" Diana asked, looking a little tired of hearing the same complaint over and over again. She didn't know more than the rest of them, but as the self-claimed group leader, she was kind of used to trying to give an answer to everything and be the one everyone turned to in the end, so she did the best she could.

Faye took a long breath and looked at Diana one more time. In her mind, it was all her fault. She was the one who had forced them to bind the circle, bringing with this the loss of her powers. Certainly she was aware that it had to be done, especially since Cassie moved to town because things could get out of hand, but that didn't make it any easier.

Magic was no longer as fun as it used to be. She couldn't even perform the easier spells on her own, which was highly frustrating. Melissa would often be there with her, helping with learning and developing spells, but since Nick's death, it wasn't the same; she simply couldn't force her friend to it anymore, without even thinking about how dangerous it had started to be lately. At first it was unlocking lockers and starting small fires, but now, everybody had been placed into jeopardy of being attacked not only by crazy people who hated witches, among who it seemed to be a lot, but also confronting real demons and witch hunters.

For that she was mad, not only at Diana who was guilty for making her lose her powers, but also at Cassie. She was the center of everything and at least she could sort of perform magic, even if she wasn't sure to what extent or why. Although she was thankful for her for two things: having saved her life a couple of times and being the cause of Diana and Adam's break up.

And it wasn't at all that she had a particular interest in seeing them break up, it was just that lately Adam's company, his face, his constant words around Diana seemed to annoy her more than usual, so taking a break from that was really refreshing.

"I am not obsessed about it, I'm just… confused, and you should be too! We need to know what's going on before someone else gets killed. We can't afford to lose any of us." It was crystal clear to her that the situation needed to be managed somehow. For her, staying without doing a thing was just as good as calling them dead.

"I am. I want to know too, but it's useless to keep on thinking when we don't have new facts, Faye. Why don't you just go home now and we'll talk about this tomorrow with everybody." Diana glanced at the other girl's face, trying to figure out if she was going to listen to her this time. She was not a submissive person at all.

Faye didn't answer for a few seconds. She was feeling uneasy, and for some reason the idea of talking to the rest of the group did not comfort her at all. She turned around and sat on the porch of Diana's house, trying to put her thoughts in order.

"No, I don't want to go. Besides, what are they going to say? Melissa is still in bad shape, Cassie knows even less than us, and don't even get me start about Adam. So what's the point?" the Chamberlain girl asked, staring at the nothing beyond the grass.

Diana stares at her and joins her, sitting next to her in the stairs. "The point is that we are stronger together, you should know that by now," she says and tries to put on a smile in her face to comfort the other girl. Diana is not sure why, but she feels like it's her responsibility after everything that has happened. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to link to each other that way after all.

"Yes Diana, you keep saying that, but for me it's only dependency and I hate having to rely on other people, even for the easier stuff. It's just not worth it." Faye was looking to her own feet, feeling helpless, especially now with all that had happened lately after Jake went away with the witch hunters… He was one of them. That thought made her feel disturbed, like no one could be trusted anymore… but yet, here she was with the girl she found most annoying in the world, with all her good girl ways.

Diana took Faye's chin and made her look into her eyes; she needed to make sure that she listened to what she had to say.

"So you would prefer to be alone right now? Do magic on your own? And not be able to share the special gift with other people who understand you? With me?" Her eyes were locked the other girl's eyes.

Faye couldn't hold her gaze for too long; she felt a weird feeling on her stomach and a heat on her skin that nothing had to do with environmental reasons because it was a really cold night. She looked away and tried to cool down. She wasn't used to feeling like this.

"Cut the crap, Diana. That is not what I meant and you know it. I was talking about being capable of doing things on my own, not that I don't want to share it with anyone else. I like being able to share this, but being tied to the rest, it's too much for me, and there is nothing neither of us can do about it." Faye had finally being able to put every emotion on ease; she needed to be under control around the other girl because she could either explode or worse.

"Alright, I know…" Diana said. A long moment went by until she reached for her phone, getting ready to make a phone call.

"Who are you calling?" Faye asked, feeling that she was losing her patience. She really didn't like that the girl with brown eyes was calling someone else right now.

"Just Adam, I want to check on…" Diana's words were stopped right there when Faye leaned into her and took her phone from her hands. "Faye! What the hell was that?" She couldn't really understand what had happened. Why had she taken her phone from her?

"Why must you call Adam right now? You two are not even dating anymore. Why do you have to turn to him?" The green-eyed girl was completely upset about it, but she didn't really know why. On some level she understood that Diana would always trust Adam and they will always have a connection beyond magic, but even if she realized that, it made her feel disappointed.

Diana couldn't understand what was happening to the other girl, it made no sense. Well, she was aware that Faye and Adam didn't exactly get along well, but Faye didn't get along with anybody. Not with Cassie, not with Adam… not even with her best friend Melissa things were easy. It was just the way she was. She wasn't even sure why the girl had come to her house tonight, they always seemed to fight and have different opinions about everything. She guessed that knowing that Jake, her first love, turned out to be a witch hunter, together with the death of her grandfather, had really left her shaken. She couldn't help but feel like she needed to make everything right for the green-eyed girl.

"What's up with Adam, why is it that you don't want me to call him, he could help us," is all that the leader of the circle could manage to say.

"It's not about Adam," Faye lied. "I told you they know less than us, besides, I don't like to be interrupted, and you were supposed to be talking to me." That statement made her feel a little confused. Was she allowed to say stuff like that? Was it normal? She wasn't sure of anything right now. So she just looked away to the darkness.

"I see. Well, either way it's getting late and I can't stay here. My dad could come back anytime and if he catches me here out of the house with you, he may get mad," Diana says, and Faye doesn't exactly know why, but the idea of going home does not look good at all right now, and it seemed that wanting to go or not, she was being forced to leave.

"So, you are kicking me out? Don't worry… I'll be out of here in a minute," the principal's daughter answers in a cold voice. There are times that she can't control her mood swings.

"No! That is not what I meant…" the other girl hurried to say. "I was going to say… don't you want to go into the house with me? It's chilly out here, besides… we can continue talking inside. My Dad is probably at your mom's house, and do you really want to see that?"

Diana teased her, trying to get a smile from the other girl, who laughed a little, frowning, and added, "That is definitely not something I would like to see, not at all." Anyone could see from her face that she hated the Idea of her mom dating Mr. Meade. It was just too weird for her, although it seemed to be amusing enough for Diana.

"So… Are you coming inside or not, you grumpy girl? If you want you can keep yelling at me there. I'm just feeling cold and I am hungry, so… what do you say?" It was weird that she was asking her that, but the girl had a point. She didn't want to go back home and find out that Mr. Meade was there with her mom. That would be way too awkward, besides, she was hungry herself. Staying there just for a while with her seemed like a good idea after all.

"Okay Diana, you win… again. I'll go inside with you, at least until your father gets back." When Faye says this, the grin on Diana's face widens in a way that makes Faye feel weak, as if her legs wouldn't hold her body anymore. She wonders why that is sometimes, like now. That girl could make her feel like that. It scared her, how drawn to her she made her feel. The green-eyed girl didn't like not being in control, and lately, when she was around Diana, things tended to go that way.

Diana was happy about Faye joining her in her house for dinner, even if she was just going to complain or say something obnoxious, but she didn't care. The truth was that she enjoyed her company. She liked honest people, even if it meant brutally honest, mean enough to make a grown man cry, she could take it, although she preferred to be more subtle herself.

Lately she had being feeling alone. Adam couldn't be there for her now as he used to because it was her decision that their relationship could not go on anymore. They had just stayed together out of habit, and then after all that happened they just couldn't pretend to be the perfect couple anymore. And then there was Cassie, who was her best friend, but, her being so close to the fire, she couldn't help get burned when she saw her. She knew it was nobody's fault, but in the end, it was the girl who stole her ex-boyfriend's heart. She loved spending time with her, but there were things that would never be the same.

But with Faye, everything felt light, even fighting with her was somehow fun. She drove her insane, and maybe right now, it was just what she needed, to be distracted with something other than Adam's situation. And she knew that even if nothing good could came out of this, there was no other way to go here. It was decided.

So both girls entered the Meade house, each one of them thinking about completely different things but the same in the end.
