Faye sat in the Abandoned House, waiting for the rest of the Circle to arrive. For once she was here earlier than the others, save for Diana of course. She sighed as she flipped through her Book of Shadows. Just then she heard footsteps on the floor downstairs. Rising to her feet she walked softly to the railing, only to see Diana staring at the plants and other ingredients on the table.
What is she doing here?, Faye thought as she continued to watch. One of the plants were dying she noticed. She watched as Diana gently picked it up in her hands and healed it.
Diana then sighed as she set it back down on the counter, her eyes sad among other emotions.
Faye blinked and then made her way down the stairs.
"You're back.", she said.
Diana jumped and turned around to stare at her.
"I am. But only for a while. Why do you care?", Diana said.
Faye walked up to her and then stopped a foot away.
"We're friends and we're members of the circle. We look out for each other.", she replied.
"We have never been friends and you never seemed to care about anyone in the circle besides yourself. Maybe Melissa. But never anyone else.", Diana said.
Faye blinked and sighed, thinking of telling Diana how she actually felt. However, within the next few minutes the rest of the Circle was there. She rolled her eyes and said, in her usual rude tone, "It's about time you all arrived."
Cassie glared at her and then turned to Diana.
Adam, Jake and Melissa all looked at Diana as well.
Faye watched as Diana gazed around the room, her eyes staring at everyone there. She walked over to the counter, which she leaned against. Her dark green eyes then continued to watch Diana; the way she moved her lips, how her hair fell sometimes across her face. But if anyone were to ask her, she'd just tell them she was thinking of a new dress to wear for Jake the next time they were alone.
"I came back because the circle needs me and I need them, well I need all of you.", Diana said as her eyes gazed around at the group. When her eyes landed on Faye, the dark green-eyed girl looked away and stared at the floor. What's got her all jumpy so suddenly?, she thought.
Cassie walked to her then and said, "Well it's good that you're back then because we have a problem."
Diana looked at her and said, holding up her right hand, "Does it have to do with this?"
Faye pushed away from the counter and walked over, seeing the mark on Diana's hand. She then saw the same one on Cassie's.
Her eyes glared at the blond and then they glanced at Diana's face. Diana's eyes met hers and for a split second Faye felt frozen.
Forcing herself to, Faye looked back at the mark on Diana's hand and then looked back at Cassie, though she noticed that Diana's eyes never left her face.
"So, you decided to do some permanent bonding with Diana and not us?", she said.
"Faye stop it.", Diana said as Cassie started to glare back at Faye.
