Forgotten Conscience (girlxgirl) (Book 1)

Love Unconditionally Actually

What?

I look up at Giles.

"Through the heart, with a knife..."

"Okay hold it..."

They think it's Faith.

"Just because they were stabbed doesn't mean Faith did it."

"We didn't say Faith did it."

"No but that's where you were going, I know you guys."

Xander jumps in.

"Well you gotta admit Buffy, the evidence is pretty obvious."

Evidence?

"What evidence? Two people get stabbed and we're gonna lock Faith up? Come on..."

"I don't kill people, not anymore anyway."

Willow ignores Faith.

"That evidence isn't all we're going on."

"Um... I don't kill people anymore."

I need to figure out a way to convince them of that.

"What else did you find out? Do they have some sort of connection?"

"Yes..."

"I didn't kill anyone."

"Well what is it?"

"You..."

What? How am I the connection?

I look over at Faith and she's stopped trying to interrupt.

She's sitting there looking at the floor with her head in her hands.

"How am I the connection?"

I look through the paper for their names.

"I didn't even know these girls."

"Buffy they were young, college freshman, both blonde, and their names both have the initials B.S."

"I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE!"

I look at Faith at her shouting.

"I know Faith I know."

I believe her, but I don't think anyone else does. I gotta prove she didn't do it or we'll never get our chance.

"When did these murders happen?"

"They happened the past two nights."

She couldn't have done it.

"See, I couldn't have done it, I've been with B at her place every night since I've been back."

She wasn't with me the whole night last night, what if she... no, no she didn't... she couldn't have.

"What about last night?"

Last night?

"What about it?"

You took the words right out of my mouth Faith.

"Faith you called me last night at 3 past midnight to tell me that you had moved out."

"So what?"

"So he's saying there's no telling what you could've done between the time you called and now."

"Anya."

Faith turns to Anya with Xander's attempt to stop her.

"You're cruising for a bruising sister."
