Forgotten Conscience (girlxgirl) (Book 1)

Love Unconditionally Actually

Buffy's POV

Okay... I can do this.

I take another deep breath and stare at Giles' front door some more.

I haven't worked up the courage to go in yet.

I run my fingers through my hair.

All I have to do is get through this meeting and then I can talk to her and make things right.

I open the door and walk in. After I take a few steps I stop in my tracks.

Faith... she's already here, with the gang.

"Hey... did I miss all the fun?"

She looks up at me and then at the floor.

"No we were... they were waiting for you."

I can hear a hint of pain in her voice as she speaks.

I'll make that pain go away Faith, I promise you.

I close the door and walk in a bit more.

"Well I'm here now so let's get this party started."

I walk over and sit down on the easy chair across the room from her.

I don't want to crowd her, I'll make things right later.

I look at her and she's looking back at me but quickly looks down as our eyes meet.

I'm sorry Faith.

I try and compose myself.

"So... what's the what?"

Giles starts off.

"Buffy, we appear to have another problem."

Another problem?

"God you know, maybe we should just buy a big white board so we can write it all down. Do we have a white board? What's the problem now?"

Willow hands me the morning paper and I read the front page.

'Two young girls murdered at Sunnydale U'

I look over at Giles.

"Do we think the vampire cult was involved?"

"No, there were no neck wounds."

Maybe it was Adam.

"What about Adam?"

"He's more a rip people open to get at the toy surprise kinda guy."

I start to look over the paper to see what killed them.

Faith takes the words right out of my eyes.

"So what killed them?"

"They were stabbed..."
