Talking To Willow
sry it took a while to update it, school's been fucking busy. (got an art project due tomorrow)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Buffy and Willow sat in the graveyard waiting for a vamp to rise. Willow had gotten Buffy to choose her classes now instead of freaking out later. “Did you sign up for psychology?” “Yeah, it was the first one I did.” Willow replied. They continued looking over the courses available, they didn’t see the vamp rise behind them that they had been waiting for. The vamp was preparing himself to attack the two girls but when he saw the weapons lying around them he quickly changed his mind and walked off quietly.
“Hey Will…” Buffy started but stopped straight away. Willow put her things down and looked up at her best friend. “What is it?” “How good would you say you’re at hacking.” Buffy asked slowly. “Pretty good I guess, I mean I did hack into the mayor’s files. Why?” Buffy stayed silent for a while, she knew that Willow wouldn’t like her idea. After a couple of minutes she’d finally gotten enough courage to just straight up ask her, “would you be able to hack into police files as well?” “Yeah, probably. Why would I wanna do that though?” She heard Buffy mumble something but couldn’t hear what it was. “What?” “I said; to remove Faith’s files.” Buffy said softly, waiting for Willow’s outburst ‘3, 2, 1.’ “WHAT?!” ‘there it is.’ “Why the hell would I do that Buffy? She betrayed you! She nearly killed Angel. And oh yeah, she’s evil!” Buffy had expected this, and had prepared for it but now she wasn’t sure if she wanted to bother explaining why. She put up hey face of indifference, something Faith had perfected, “you’re right. Never mind, it was stupid.” She turned around, “god, is this guy ever gonna rise?” She felt like killing something right now, something she could beat up, badly.
Willow looked closely at Buffy, she saw how Buffy had changed her whole demeanour in just a split second. She decided that maybe she should give her friend a chance to explain herself. “Buffy. Why would you want to help Faith?” “I nearly killed her Will. I nearly killed Faith” Buffy looked up at Willow with tars in her eyes, “I know that if I hadn’t stabbed her she would’ve killed me but I could’ve prevented this whole thing from happening. If I had just been there for her like I should have when she killed Finch. It wasn’t her that killed Finch, it was us.
“We were both there, if I had been where she had been standing I would have staked him. I know that I would have been able to go through it because I had you guys. She had no one except me, and I dumped her as soon as she made one mistake. If I would’ve helped her like I should have then she wouldn’t have gone to the mayor and later poison Angel.”
Willow looked at her hands and deep down she knew that Buffy was right. She didn’t want to admit it though, she didn’t like Faith, why help her?
“That’s not completely true Buffy. She did have other people than just you. She had me and ---” Buffy snorted and looked up at Willow.
“You? She could talk to you? Please Willow, we both know that you hated her from the start. Why I don’t know but it was obvious you did. You didn’t like her, though you never bothered to get to know her. And don’t say she could’ve talked to Xander. He only saw her as a sex object, not as a person.
“She couldn’t have gone to Giles either, she has a problem with authority figures. She didn’t trust anyone but me Will. I should have been there for her when she needed me but I wasn’t. I want to make that up to her. I have to make it up to her.” Buffy finished softly.
“I talked to mom, when Faith wakes up she’ll be moving in with us. We’re getting all of her things when she has some time off. We can’t let her live at home though if the police is still after her. And what can they do against a Slayer? She won’t even be able to help people from jail either.”
Willow knew that Buffy was right. She also knew that Buffy would just find an other way of getting rid of those files if she didn’t help her. Buffy was determent to help Faith, ‘I might as well help her with it then.’
“Ok… Ok, I’ll see what I can do. Just give me some time, I have to make sure everything is gone and that they cant trace me. You do know that if I get caught that I might be Faith’s cell mate?”
She looked at Buffy and muttered, “she’ll probably make me her bitch.”
“Willow!” she just laughed at Buffy.
“I was kidding. Well about the last part anyway.” They laughed together and Buffy relaxed again, she was happy that she’d gotten this out of the way.
She still had to tell Giles about her plans though. It wasn’t as if he could tell her not to do it, he wasn’t her Watcher anymore, but she still wanted his approval. She knew that he would help her out anyway if she told him what she’d just told Willow.
Xander would be a lot more difficult to convince but she’d have to do that once he got back from his little road trip thing. He was good at holding grudges which got slightly annoying sometimes.
She hugged Willow and gave her a huge smile, “you have no clue how much this means to me.” She looked at her watch, “it’s pretty late. Come on, I’ll walk you home.”
They walked past the grave the vamp had crawled out earlier that evening, “Shit. I’ll get you home and then I’ll go vamp hunting.” ‘Hunting, like I did when Faith and I were together. Not some lousy patrol where you wait for a vamp to attack you. That’s no fun.’ “Hunt?” Buffy just nodded, got her weapon bag and helped Willow up.
Once they got to Willow’s house they decided to leave Buffy’s weapons there, it was easier to hunt with just a stake and a dagger. Before Willow walked in she turned around again.
“Buffy, I want you to know that I am removing Faith’s files for you. Not for her. I’m not forgiving Faith yet, maybe I will later. But when she wakes up that doesn’t mean I’m gonna start trusting her. She has to earn it.”
“I get it Will. And thanks again, it really means a lot to me.”
With that she turned around mentally preparing herself for a long hunting night. She smiled to herself, walked into the nearest cemetery and saw a couple of vamps already. She got a huge grin on her face. It looked a lot like Faith’s whenever she talked about slaying and beating up demons.
“Hey guys, I’m not disturbing you, am I?”
She got her stake out and charged at the vamps.
