Forgotten Conscience (girlxgirl) (Book 1)

Hell hath no fury like a woman with nothing left to lose

Faith's POV

"BUFFY!!"

She steps in front of me and the blast hits her.

Oh god...

"Buffy!"

I look into her eyes and she looks into mine, a look of pure love looking back at me.

Why?

I struggle to break free of the grip the vampires have on me as they disintegrate around me and B. The force of the blast getting less energy throws her limp body into mine and I take her in my arms. Her breathing is slow and shallow as she tries to talk.

"Faith..."

I can barely speak myself, the tears in my eyes choking me up.

"Buffy..."

"Are you... okay?"

I gotta lay her down so I can look at her.

I gently lay her down on the cold stone floor.

"I'm fine B, just fine... god Buffy what did you do?"

"What... what I had to Faith. The only thing I could do to save you."

"But why? I... I could've done something... gotten out of the way at the last second, I... Buffy..."

"Faith, it's all right."

"No, no it's not all right B. You're hurt, you have to stay still. I'll get you help."

"No, don't... it's too late for me. I'm dying."

"Don't say that B, I'll get help."

I look around at the battle going on around us and all I can think is...

I have to save B.

"WILLOW!"

She's fighting the last of the vamps. She can't get to us.

"WILLOW WE NEED YOUR HELP!"

"Faith..."

I try and look down at her through my teary eyes.

"Ssh B, don't talk... it'll hurt less if you don't talk. You've gotta hang on."

"Faith please just... just kiss me."

I lean down and kiss her gently.

"Buffy?"

"Tell me you love me."

"I love you B, with all of my heart."

"Then it was all worth it, every last moment."

She reaches up and touches my tear soaked cheek.

"I'd die a thousand times as long as you love me."

"I do... I love you more than words could ever say."

She puts her other hand against my other cheek and I can't help but cry harder.

"Buffy..."

"Faith listen to me... please..."

"What, whatever it is you can tell me later."

"No, Faith I... I want you, you to know that I love you... that I'll never stop loving you."

I kiss her passionately.

"I know Buffy, I know."

"Remember me... please."
