Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2


Sitting next to Buffy, Willow studied the blonde Slayer while the physics teacher asked the pupils to take their books and to do an exercise. She seemed tired and preoccupied, and had spent the class gazing at the window, her look blank and vacant. When Willow asked her questions, Buffy merely answered with a grunt, her mind visibly absorbed in something else.


"Buffy, take your book out, we have to do the exercise 2!"


"Mmm..."


Buffy was no longer in the classroom. She stood in a sordid motel room, pinned against a wall by the two powerful arms of another Slayer, panting with lust, scared too in some way, but unable to resist an irrepressible desire to let go under Faith's more and more insistent caresses...


"Buffy? The exercise!"


She could see herself naked against Faith's body, skin against skin, she could see herself making love with another woman... Another woman, she repeated for herself. Remorse and distaste overcame her suddenly. She could not have done that. She had cheated on Angel... and with a woman... With Faith... who never loved anyone... She was drunk, excited, Faith had dragged her... forced her...


"Buffy, I'm pregnant, I was raped by my father, and I'm about to die of cancer.", Willow announced in a neutral voice.


"Uh?!"


The inappropriateness of the words had finally reached Buffy's mind, who abruptly turned to the witch.


"What?! What did you say?!"


"I've been talking to you for an hour and you haven't been listening to me... If you don't get your book out soon, you're gonna get an hour's detention."


Buffy hurriedly took her physics textbook out and began concentrating on the exercise. Ten minutes later, she turned again to Willow.


"Will, you're really pregnant?"


Willow rolled her eyes, but did not have the time to answer as the bell rang the end of the class. They put their school things away and made for the exit.


"Buffy, what's wrong?"


The Slayer looked at her guiltily, but remained silent.


"Look, I know you... When you're elsewhere like that, I know that something's bothering you."


"No... Well, I... No, I'm ok... I was just thinking about Angel..."


Willow did not insist, but she perfectly knew her friend was hiding something from her. They passed the high school door in silence when Buffy caught a glimpse of Faith. Sitting on a bench, the dark Slayer had been waiting for more than an hour, smoking cigarette after cigarette in order to try to forget the pangs of anxiety she felt.

Buffy nearly retreated, but she realized she could not avoid Faith without arousing Willow's suspicion. She headed for Faith nonchalantly, but the gleam of worry which had passed through her look had not escaped the witch. When the two students stopped near Faith, the dark Slayer stubbed her cigarette out on the bench and stood up.


"Hi." she said in an unconvincing voice.


"Hi." answered Willow, who wondered what was afoot between the two Slayers.


She noticed that Buffy looked particularly ill-at-ease.


"Er... Willow... I'm sorry but... Faith and I have to talk... I'll see you tomorrow, ok?"


The jealousy Willow had been feeling since Faith's arrival to Sunnydale suddenly reappeared. The two Slayers spent more and more time together, and Willow felt excludes ifs if their long friendship no longer mattered to Buffy. She was hurt, but she could do nothing, so she left the two women in tête-à-tête with a sad smile.


"You wanted to see me?" Buffy struck up with a frosty tone.


"I just wanted to make sure I hadn't dreamt last night."


"Actually yes, you did dream!" hurled Buffy, who carefully avoided the younger Slayer's look.


She went on, her voice tainted with bitterness and guilt.


"I should have known! I was drunk, I missed Angel, and you took advantage of it! Girls, boys, nothing can stop you when you want to find someone to put in your bed!"


"But it's wrong, B, I didn't force you, you wanted it too!" pleaded Faith, disconcerted by her reaction.


"No!" Buffy nearly screamed.


A few heads turned to them, before returning to their occupations with indifference. She resumed, more quietly:


"No, I didn't want to. I never wanted you, Faith, not like that. I love Angel, you understand. You knew it and it didn't prevent you from pushing me to sleep with you. So forget it. And forget me. And if you ever say something about it, I'd deny everything, you get it?! Nothing has ever happened between us, nothing!"


Buffy abruptly turned away to hide the tears filling her eyes, and left Faith, petrified and mute, whose initial anxiety had changed into despair.


But I'll never be able to forget, B... Never.
