We are the same....
She isn't just like me, we do have our diffrences, yet we are the same. That thought drives me even as we speak. At the moment I am sitting at my desk there is a watcher sitting across from me. We've been sitting here for an hour. He looks at me as if I have the one thing he wants and I do. I've always had it.
After we closed the HellMouth there where questions that needed to be answered, and we were the only ones who had it. Yet now it isn't so easy to keep the truth to ourselves anymore we are no longer teenagers saving the world. This reality we are all grown up. I sit up a bit straighter in my chair. I know how this suits can be. And I'm not up for losing my temper now. It's better if I don't. I know why they're here they want her they feel she's become too much of a threat. That she is unstable. She is and I know it.
But I won't give here up. She belongs with me and that's where she'll stay. He still holds my gaze I don't bother learning his name because when he leaves he will be escorted out. Will's manage to cook up a nice little business for us and here we are...
I managed to keep Faith away from the festivities long enough to keep her background out of prying eyes. She is still what she is and I have learned that we both are killers I've learned to harness my skills but it's still what I am built for. It's strange we've always been drawn to one another, I can't help what I feel when I'm around her it's everything. This isn't new not my feelings for her those were always there. What is the way she feels, Faith is never one to reveal her true emotions it isn't in her. Her want, take, have isn't always as you would think.
She has moods of when you can be closer to her, or when she needs to be left alone. Sometimes she just has to be close those are my favorites times not for the sex, those are special times. It's the nearness to her when she lays on my chest and listens to my heartbeat, those are the times I love when we aren't rushing to save the world, or slaying some demon. When we can just be together.
It's always with you there isn't a second that passes that you don't know you are the chosen one. It was hard to understand that there was another. When I died the first time it put my world into perspective, not completely but enough to know that I wasn't alone there was another like me. If I could change anything it would be that Kendra's death was painless. I hate myself for it. I do I couldn't save her but if I had then Faith wouldn't be here.
I come back to myself as I realize that the watcher is still in his seat. He's waiting for my reply as I realize that that time has stilled for a moment. As the room changes I am no longer in my office.
The room I now stand in is that of an office. Before I hear them I already know to whom I am speaking with.
"She was always a special one." The voice is cool and soft. In my time with Faith I learned something after my mother died I became more aware of my place in this world and how things fit. "I've done what you ask I hid her away from them."
"Yes and for that we thank you. When we sent her to you it was not just for show, she was entrusted to you because you knew the parelles of your destiny."
"I just don't want them to take her away. I'm in love with her."
I screamed out I couldn't risk them taking her away from me now, after all of this not now.
"You have to return. There is a new hellmouth."
"They are comming for us, aren't they?"
"Yes, they want her dead."
"We can not interfere, this battle is over your domain we may guide you that is all."
"She could side with evil."
"Yes, she could... Then all is lost."
"She won't she can't, I know her she won't leave me."
"Is that a chance you would take? Would you risk your world as you know in order to be with her? Think before you answer slayer?"
"I would."
"Then so be it."
"That's it. So be it. I don't like get a consolation prize. I just win?"
"You are full of yourself I see why she chose you. Faith is my child. My baby I sent her to you because she is not only a slayer but the world in it self. I made her like that of a human and gave her strengths much like yours. Kendra was to be your equal, yet Faith saw you and knew you. She claimed you as hers, and since you have remained. She tested you for what would become your lives."
"I was a test? She wouldn't."
"She did. You see this as a deception, she is the only one of her kind as you are the only one of your kind. You are the same. You are one."
"Then there is just together?"
"Yes."
