Forgotten Conscience (girlxgirl) (Book 1)

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

"I could never forget you Buffy... even if I lived forever I'd never forget you B."

"Protect my friends for me?"

"Of course B, I won't let anyone hurt them, I promise."

"Help them..."

"I will, I'll make the world a safer place for them, because it's what you want, I promise."

Oh god I'm gonna lose her.

Her breathing gets even shorter and her hands start to slip from my face.

"I love you Faith..."

"Don't leave me B... please."

She falls limp on the floor.

"Buffy?"

She doesn't move.

"Oh god... Buffy?"

I put my hands on her shoulders and shake her lightly.

"Buffy?"

I shake her harder.

"Don't leave me Buffy!"

I take her in my arms and put her head against my shoulder.

"Buffy!"

I squeeze her tightly to me.

"BUFFY!"

She's gone... she's gone and I couldn't save her.

"Buffy..."

A horrible looming laughter fills the room.

She's gone.

"That's it? That's what I've been afraid of for so long? How pathetic."

She's gone.

"Why was I afraid of THAT?"

She's gone and it's all his fault.

I rest her body peacefully on the floor and stand up to face Omega.

He took her from me.

Willow starts to come this way with Tara in tow.

He took her from me and now I have nothing. He made her leave me... and now he has to die.

Willow's POV

I rush to Buffy's side as Spike stakes the last vamp and Tara follows me.

"Buffy?"

I kneel down beside her to check her over.

"Faith, what happened?"

She doesn't say a thing. She just stands there, staring at Omega.

"Faith I need to know what happened so I can help her."

"Get her out of here..."

She doesn't even flinch.

"Is she okay?"

"Take Buffy and get out of here."

She hasn't moved and neither has Buffy.

"Faith if she's hurt I need to know so we can..."

She turns around and the look in her eyes TERRIFIES me.

"TAKE HER AND GET OUT!!"

Faith turns around and faces Omega again. I have to take a second to get over the fact that my blood just turned to ice before I do as she says.
