Chapter 36


Spike looked at the phone in his hand the pain boiling up inside of him as he took in all the signs. Faith in his bed naked, his own nakedness, the sad goodbye from Buffy, the phone and the hangover from last night.

"GGGGGGGGAAAAAHHHHH........" he shouted throwing the phone and then bodily pushing Faith from the bed with a loud resounding smack of her bare skin on the hardwood floor.

"FUCKING BITCH OF A WHORE!!!!!!" He roared at the top of his lungs as he swung himself up and out of bed to tower over his cousin heedless of his nakedness and his pounding head. "I BELIEVED YOU, YOU FUCKING SLUT!!!!!"

Faith's eyes widened with real fear as she watched her previously docile cousin she had thought of as a boy, turn into a raging inferno of a dangerously played man. Scooting as quickly as she could away from him she was stopped when her back hit the closed door.

"I BELIEVED YOU, AND YOU DID THIS TO ME???!!!" Spikes eyes flashed hatred at her, the normally bright blue orbs darkening to a sickening grey with his anger. "MY HOME.... YOU CAME INTO MY HOME AND FUCKED ME.... FUCKED ME AND BUFFY."

Faith cowered against the door her arms coming up to cover her head and shoulders as she anticipated the blows that she was sure would soon come raining down, it was her small choked whimper of fear that finally cut through Spikes red haze of fury.

"Faith?" he asked confused as he looked down onto his shivering cousin.

"Don't.....please....don't da..dd..don't hurt me...I'll.....I'll be ....good....promise.....mommy won't............no...daddy.....NO.....NO...." Faiths shrieks of terror reverberated across the room slicing deep into Spike's tender heart. *Oh GOD....Oh....*

"Faith? Faithey?" he asked kneeling down next to her and trying to pry her hands from around her head.

"NO NO NO.........." She screamed and kicked out at him as he managed to pull her to him, his arms wrapping tightly around her struggling form as he yelled at the top of his lungs, "DA....DA.............COME QUICK DA.........ANYA......."

"Oh god what did they do to you Faithey? What did I do?" He moaned into her tangled hair his voice harsh with unshed tears. "I'm here Faith, I'm here...." He continued to croon to her trying to calm her, as he waited for his father and step mother to come.

2 hrs. later



Buffy watched as the ambulance pulled away from the curb, her own green eyes tear stained and swollen. Looking to Anya and Rupert she sent a small smile their way and offered her support before turning and walking into her own home. Spike, Giles had told her was unable to leave his room. The whole incident with Faith had left him a shambles but he would certainly pass on her concern for his well being. Anya and Giles would be going to visit Faith at Bellvue mental hospital later in the day and promised to keep Buffy up to date on her progress. The Faith that they had all known was now gone, and in her place a grown woman with the emotional mentality of a 6 year old. No one knew what would happen, just that they would help her in anyway they could and that included Buffy.

As she walked through her sun filled house, Buffy could only wonder at the horrible things that Faith must have gone through in her life to have made her into the tragic young woman she had become. As she sank down onto the couch her fingers playing with the phone cord she made a decision. Taking up the phone she dialed the number she knew.

The phone rang, once, twice, three times before it was picked up.

Buffy listened to the stony silence for a heartbeat before she began to speak. "It's not your fault. Things happen for a reason."

The silence continued but Buffy took heart in the fact that he had not hung up, "Let me tell you a story about a girl named Elizabeth and her Highschool sweetheart Angel..."

The hours continued one after another as she cried with Spike over the phone line. Her own fears and pain over losing someone dear letting him know that he wasn't alone and that he wasn't to blame. As the clock ticked off the minutes and the day turned into night, the two destined hearts met once again and managed to put the past behind them once and for all.
