Forgotten Conscience (girlxgirl) (Book 1)

Wesley

Cordelia's POV

I listen to the phone ring.

Damn it Wesley pick up the fucking phone already. Why is it people never pick up the phone when you're in a crisis situation?

"Hello?"

"Hey Wesley."

"Cordelia, what's wrong?"

Every time I call someone that's all I hear, what's wrong?

"Is the world coming to an end?"

"No... not yet anyway but you never know."

"So what do you need?"

"It's Faith."

"What about her?"

"She's..."

"She's what? Is she waking up?"

"She's here."

"What? What do you mean she's here? She's where?"

"She's here, at the office. Angel found her wandering the streets."

"I'll bring my shotgun..."

The phone clicks.

OH SHIT...

"Wait Wesley, no!"

Angel grabs the phone from me and slams it on the table.

"You called Wesley? What the hell? Are you trying to get her killed? You know how Wesley feels about Faith. What if he panics and calls the Watcher's Council? They'll raid the place and take her away."

Yeah, and?

"So what if they did? She's a killer Angel, a vicious cold blooded killer and I can't understand why you're protecting her."

She's an evil killing machine, nothing more.

"Everyone deserves a second chance Cordelia."

"There are some people who just don't deserve it."

"Did you?"

Hun

"What?"

"Did you deserve a second chance?"

"What are you talking about?"

"When I first met you I thought you were a self absorbed money grubbing bitch, but when you came to work for me I decided to give you a second chance. You've proven to be a good and noble person, not like the person I thought you were."

Aww gee, the guilt card?

"Yeah but..."

"All I'm asking for is for you to give her the same chance."

"Angel, I didn't kill half the people in Sunnydale and try and kill the other half."

"I did."

"What?"

"I tried to kill half of Sunnydale and send everyone to hell. I've done horrible, evil things and killed more people than I can count..."

"That's different."

"Why?"

"Because you were evil then, but you're a good person now and..."

"So why should Faith be any different? Why can't she learn to be a good person and help people?"
