she sees creatures behind the glass
crying with a voice she heard once in a childhood dream
falling through a window she once shattered
clawing her face to escape wings that beat inside her head...
- The Shroud
The voices were back
They'd gone, for a time. And now they were back with a vengeance, egging her on. Instructing her. Suddenly she had a mission again, now that the cells and bars were far behind her. Clutching a shank tight to her body and feeling it dig into her thigh, she crept among the daffodils and peered through the window.
There she was. Golden locks cropped just to her shoulders. Sad light surrounding her as though she'd accepted her life but still wasn't happy to be living it. This angel's wings have been clipped, Faith thought. Someone has kept her from flying.
Out came the shank and she drew it across her wrist. Familiar. Good. Red.
She sat with her back against the house and lit a cigarette, not caring that they might look out the window and see the menthol smoke rising. Her mission would be completed, regardless.
The voices insisted.
do it do it do it now
you'll be free soon freer than you ever were
i hope you had the time of your life..
She clawed at her head, begging them to shut up, to just give her a second to think, and slowly they died down allowing her to be alone in her mind once more. This was not something to be taken lightly. This was some kind of ending. Some kind of beginning. She would go to jail again, surely. For the rest of her life, maybe.
Was it worth it?
yes yes it's always worth it
get what you want what you came for
And so she would. She stepped on her cigarette butt and glanced in the window again. Buffy was clearing the dishes, looking distant. Dawn's bedroom light went off upstairs. It was almost perfect. Patience is a virtue.
can't you wait a minute faith, mommy's busy
So she waited. Three hours, until REM cycles were in progress throughout the Summers home. Buffy's window was always open and tonight was no exception. She crept, quiet as the pet hamster her mother had killed.
She stood over her for a long time, watching her sleep and wondering what she dreamt of. Wondering if crazygirl dreams haunted her, too. The complexities of being a Slayer were things that Faith herself would never fully understand and she tried hard not to give too much thought to their bond. If she killed Buffy, would a piece of her die too?
nothing matters just this just this
just do it you wanted this
now's your chance
She laid the shank against Buffy's ear and studied her once more, memorizing her face. The voices rose, echoing and slamming inside her head like crazed dancers. Too abrupt. Too sudden. Slitting her throat was so serial killer.
