Chapter 8 – A new beginning.

Faith sat on a bench across the street from the high school. Smoke was still billowing out from the roof tops. Fire trucks rushed down the street, with there sirens blaring so loud that they could smash the windows, if they weren't smashed already.

Willow walked across the street with Oz.

"We did it" Willow said with a smile.

"Yeah" Faith said, not sounding very enthusiastic.

"Come on faith, we killed him" willow said.

"I killed him" faith said looking down at the ground. She looked down at the floor, she felt the guilt. She didn't think she would do.

"Faith, you did the right thing, he was evil" willow said, sitting next to her.

Oz watched them, and then went back across the street to talk to Xander and Giles, who both looked worn out.

"Yeah, sure, whatever" faith said. She looked back up at willow. "It still feels like… I dunno. I guess I did the right thing for the first time"

Willow smiled, "you came through in the end".

"But what about B, is she gonna be ok?" faith asked the red head.

"Yeah, she's in a coma. I just hope she wakes up soon" willow said, she was glad that her best friend wasn't gone forever, but it still felt like Buffy wasn't going to come back. It's like she had run away again or something. She didn't really understand this feeling, but she knew that her friend would be back sooner or later.

Willow still couldn't completely forgive Faith for everything she had done to her and the people around her. But it looked like Faith was trying to change, and that was something. At least there was a slayer in Sunnydale to watch over things.

The two girls stood up. They walked across the street in silence and walked around the broken campus, helping the people who were injured before the paramedics took them away.

The story that had been going around the parents, who didn't know that their children had been in on the plan to destroy the school, was that there was another gas leak and that some one had been smoking. At least that sounded believable. If they knew the truth, they would never of believed it.

Faith walked past Giles who stopped her in her tracks.

"You did well tonight Faith" he told her.

"Yeah well, life of the chosen one." Faith said.

Giles smiled, "so does this mean you're going to stay on our side?" he asked.

"Looks like" she said. "I'm the good slayer now" she smiled.

Faith walked off into the smoke, they needed to get rid of the left over dynamite before the police started looking around.

'Me one of the good guys' Faith thought to herself. 'This will be interesting'.

Thank you for reading this and yes there is a sequel in the mix

I hope none of you are disappointed with the way this ended. There have been a few questions about why faith changed so quickly. My spin is that she always felt guilty for betraying the people who wanted to be her friends and in the end, she did the right thing lol.

Hope you enjoyed reading my story and I hope you will review and read my others.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks again

Hope
