Chapter 4: Home & Planning
“Ow, easy baby that hurts.” Willow grimaced getting out of the car. Tara almost yanked her out of the car, so excited that Willow was finally released from the hospital. The redhead had to stay for an entire week, as the tests were done on the stuff taken from her chest. They didn’t know what it was or where it came from, the witch’s had their own ideas. They didn’t clue the doctors in though, just waiting patiently to be able to go home.
“Sorry love, just happy you are home.” Tara slowed her movements to help Willow out of the car, and started to walk up toward the house. When they reached the steps; Willow rested her hands on the railing so Tara could go, and get the other stuff, as well as lock the car. Walking back up; she helped Willow up the steps, the smaller girl grunted a bit in pain. “I so cannot wait till I am done healing, this hurts like all fuck.”
Tara giggled and opened the door, “Can you get in on your own by holding the wall love? I am going to carry this stuff in behind you.” Willow nodded, placing a hand on the wall and slowly stepping forward. Each step reminding her why she was going so slow; not able to take very deep breaths, yet with her incision on her chest still healing. Leaning on the doorframe into the living room, Willow heard Tara behind her setting everything down. “It’s good to be home.” Willow stated already breathless, smiling Tara kissed her cheek as she helped her to the couch to sit down.
“Need anything, a drink, a snack anything at all?” Tara was at her love’s beck and call. Willow shook her head still trying to catch her breath, “No I am fine for a few minutes, however I could use some Tara lovens.” She grinned and motioned for Tara to come closer. Stepping closer the blond smiles, leaning down she pressed her lips to Willows. They stayed together; just enjoying each other as they kissed, only pulling apart for a much needed Air. “Mmmm I missed you baby, hospitals are no place for my fiancé to be in.” Tara flashed her lopsided grin, turning to head to the kitchen to get some drinks, as well as a snack.
Willow eased herself back to lean against the back of the couch, propping her feet up on the coffee table. “Good to be home again, what’s on TV?” She looked around for the remote; however it was just out of arms reach. She stared at the remote, then looking around she muttered, “Sublovo.” The remote slowly started to float and it came to rest in her hand. She smiled to herself and turned on the TV waiting for Tara to return with whatever was in the house.
The blond had just come out of the kitchen when she stopped to watch her lover, giggling to herself when Willow made the remote levitate to her hand. Tara was happy to see the redhead was able to do small things without going all dark. “Getting more comfy are we baby?” Raising a brow grinning at her love, she set down two mugs of tea with some cookies. Willow looked at her confused, then eyes widened in realization. “Oh um, you were not supposed to see that.” Tara chuckled, “Oh and why not, I’m glad you can do small things. It shows you are getting better at fighting it, and you will be able to do more in the future. Willow, I don’t want you to stop doing magick, I just want you to learn and reconnect in a better way than before.” The blond picked up a mug, handing it to Willow as she retrieved the other one.
“But Tare, if I do anything big I go all dark and somewhat veiny, I rather not do that.” Willow takes the mug sipping it, slowly turning to look at Tara. “You really think I can, cast larger spells again, with you I mean?” Tara reached over, resting her hand on Willow’s knee, and feeling that warmth come over her that comes with touching her lover. “Yes baby, in time I do believe we can cast like we did before, but please don’t rush it.” After taking a drink, Tara set her mug down, she moved closer to willow; gently wrapping an arm around the redhead’s shoulder, both sinking into a comfortable silence as they watched TV.

“Buffy, you freakin retard!” Dawn exclaimed, she knelt down and started picking up oranges from the floor. Buffy glared at her younger sister, kneeling down to help. “Well how was I supposed to know it would all fall over!?” The slayer had reached for a orange in the middle of a fruit pyramid, which in turn all the other oranges fell; since she grabbed one from the bottom. “You are kidding me, its common knowledge to take from the top!” The brunette almost screeched, “Gees, for being the Slayer you are dumb.”
They got the oranges into the fruit crate then hurried off, Buffy slapping the back of Dawn’s head. “Hey, what was that for!” Dawn asked, rubbing her head as she gave Buffy a deadly glare. “Don’t berate me, I’m older than you!” The blond smirked to herself, pushing the cart to the cereal aisle. Dawn trotted up to the side and punched her sister’s arm. “Well don’t do something stupid, and I won’t point out your flaws.” She stuck her tongue out at her sister, then grabbed a box of cereal, putting it in the cart. “Ok fine, I so cannot wait for Faith to get back; you are way too damn annoying without her around.”
Dawn suddenly got quiet; she had missed her girlfriend knowing that she had to go do something. She wished Faith would come back soon. “Yeah, I miss her Buff. I feel so alone when she isn’t here, and I know you hate hearing this but….I miss her in my bed, cuddling and stuff. Hard to sleep sometimes when the one you love is gone.” Buffy looked at her sister, she knew Dawn had it hard when Faith had to leave. “I’m sorry Dawn; I didn’t mean to depress you. When is she supposed to come back?”
Dawn took out her pocket calendar and smiles, “the 16th of this month.” Buffy laughed and nudged Dawn. “Sis, tomorrow is the 16th.” It took the smaller girl a moment; suddenly she gave Buffy a huge bear hug. “OH MY GODS, You are so right!!!” She exclaimed, and then let go looking embarrassed. “Heh, sorry just um ya know excited. It’s been 3 months; it takes a toll on a girl.” The blond nodded and saw they had everything they needed. “Let’s check out and see if Tara got Willow home alright.” The two women headed for the registers.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Willow had dozed off on Tara’s shoulder, the blond watched her sleep. She started to doze off herself when the door slammed open and jolted both witch’s awake. “We’re home!” Buffy yelled and set bags on the entrance table, “Gees Buffy, any louder?” Tara yelled from the couch. The slayer walked into eth living room, she began to blush. ‘Oh god, so sorry were you sleeping?” Tara nodded and Willow was looking at Buffy like she was the next apocalypse.
“Sorry, I didn’t know you would be sleeping. We brought groceries, how are you settling back in Will?” The smaller blond came in hearing Dawn starting to put groceries away in the kitchen. She sat on the coffee table and looked at the two witches’. “Ya know Buffster, I just got back.” Willow yawns, “And the meds I am on make me tired.” The slayer nodded, “Need help getting upstairs, it’s gonna get loud here probably with Xander and Anya coming to see you, and about 200 other people, should nap while you can.”
Tara slowly got up and helped Willow up, “We’ll be fine Buff, oh and tell Dawn I need to talk to her later will you. I’m gonna nap with Will. I am very tired myself.” They headed for the staircase, then Tara turned. “Get us up in two hours please.” Buffy nodded, then watched as two of her best friends disappeared up the stairs. Buffy made her way into the kitchen and laughed at what she saw.
Dawn had turned the radio on, listening to t.A.T.u.’s song ‘Not Gonna Get Us’, and singing into a celery stick for a microphone. The brunette whirled around with deep red cheeks, throwing the celery at Buffy t otry and distract so she could compose herself. “Buffy, don’t sneak up on me!” All the slayer could do was duck and laugh, “You looked great, celery should be your friend more often.” The blond leaned on the counter laughing. Dawn tried to get eth red out of her cheeks, “Yeah well, at least I wasn’t caught naked singing in my room by Riley, singing toucha toucha toucha me.”
Buffy’s eyes went wide; it was her turn to become as red as a tomatoe. “Uhhh um…” She slouched; knowing her little sister had her on that. “Ok fine you win, this time, careful though I will come back with a vengeance.” Dawn happily continued to put stuff away. Before long everything was put away and the two women were sitting at the island chatting away. Upstairs, both witches were in bed, per Willow’s request naked. “Mmm I missed feeling you against me Tare.” Willow nuzzled the blonde’s chest, draping an arm over the woman’s stomach. Tara smiled and ran fingers through red hair. Her other arm was rubbing the arm that lay on her stomach. “I missed you baby, after I saw you lay on the ground…” Tara trailed off as tears came to her eyes, shaking her head she smiled. Willow slowly sat up, cupping the blonde’s cheek. “Baby, it’s not your fault, this…” takes the bandage of her chest, it had ten stitches in it. “This is not your fault, I didn’t want you to get hurt, I had to keep you safe.”
Tara nodded as tears began to fall, “I almost lost you, I can’t lose you.” Willow without thinking pulled the blond to her, and wrapped her arms around her lover. She felt a slight pain in her chest, shrugging it off in her mind; she really didn’t care. “I’m here, not going anywhere. You called me back, but I do need to tell you something.” Willow got quiet, not knowing how to say what she experienced. “What is it Will?” Tara looked up at her, eyes red. The redhead took a deep breath, as deep a breath as she could take.
“While I was unconscious, I met your mom.” She waited for a reaction from her lover. The blond sat up quickly, “What did she say, what did she want?” She was excited but scared at the same time. ‘Well she wanted to congratulate us, warning us there are other forces who do not want us to get married, and that she, your grandmother and great grandmother would be helping us along the way.” Willow takes a breath, “She gave me a hug, then I started hearing your voice calling me back. She told me to go to you, so I did happily.”
“Forces don’t want us together….that must mean we will have a hell of a time planning our wedding.” Then Tara chuckled, looking up she saw the confused look on Will’s face. “Oh I am laughing because we can do anything love, no one will stop our wedding.” Willow grinned in agreement, they both leaned back. Now Tara resting gently against the redhead, making sure she doesn’t disturb the scar. “We need to rest, everyone will start arriving soon.” Willow just kissed Tara’s head and closed her eyes. The blond smiled and closed her eyes, happy knowing they could do anything.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Susan watched from above, her smile stretched from ear to ear, as two elderly women came to stand on each side of her. “They will do well Susan, together they are invincible.” Susan looked at the woman, “I know mom, we will still have to help them. Tara is so happy, I am so glad she found Willow.” Both women nodded, “Just remember that was the only contact any of us can have with them, they must figure certain things out on their own.” The women looked at each other then faded to go prepare.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Buffy was ushering people into the living, everyone seemed to show up at once. “Ok everyone, they have been napping upstairs, it takes a lot out of Willow. I’ll go tell them we have guests, please when they come down don’t overwhelm them.” Buffy smiled and trotted upstairs, knocking on the door. She heard some sounds and then the handle turned.
“Oh hey Buff.” Willow greeted her with a yawn, not realizing she was still naked. All Buffy saw was the no bandaged chest. ‘Willow! Where is your bandage, what happened, OMG you need to keep it covered!” The redhead was trying to gain her bearings at the yelling when Tara walked up to them. “Buffy, gees we are waking up and she is fine. What are you doing up here anyway?” Tara was not in a mood of having her lovers best friend looking at them naked much longer.
“Oh yeah, we have guests, can you guys come down?” The slayer shifted on her feet now realizing they are both completely naked. “We’ll be down soon, now stop gawking and get downstairs.” Tara said with a giggle. Buffy’s eyes widened and she turned on her heels and ran down stairs. “I tell ya sometimes I wonder if she truly is straight or not.” Willow laughed pushing the door shut, but started coughing from the laughter. The blond was right there worried, “Sweetie you ok?” Her eyes were washed with concern.
“Yeah fine…” coughs “just not used to the constriction on my chest.” Willow took a breath and smiled, “I’m ok baby really, let’s get dressed and see out guests.” Tara nodded and Willow leaned over and pressed her lips to Tara’s. The blond moaned quietly and pulled Willow closer to her, as they continued to kiss. Arm’s wrapped around the blonde’s neck, stepping closer as their bodies came together. They stood for a few minutes, then parting for much needed air. “Um we…should get ready.” Tara’s voice was husky as she gazed into Willow’s eyes.
Willow nodded, “Yeah we should, guests.” They slowly pulled away from one another, grabbing clothing to get dressed. Both wore simple jeans with sandals, Willow donned a green peasant top. Looking in the mirror she smiled and turned, seeing Tara put on a light peach colored blouse and buttoned it up. They gazed at each other, finally eyes locking. “You look amazing Tare, simply delicious.” Tara blushed and walked over, “So are you love, ready to go downstairs?” She took her fiancé’s hand, the girl nodded and they headed downstairs.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
A figure watched the house from his car, he noticed the witches left their rooms. Then saw them in the living room window greeting friends. He smiled to himself, “Soon you two will hate each other, and then we can take over without you getting in the way.” His cell phone rang, answering it his face went paler then it was already. “Yes sir, no sir, they are with friends right now.” He gulped, “Soon sir, alright sir.” He hung up and kept watching the house. “Very soon.”
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
The witches were smiling as they talk to their friends, everyone finally able to congratulate them after the whole Amy ordeal. Many giving small gifts, excited that they were finally tying the knot. Their friends asking what type of wedding, or how Willow was doing. Willow started to get a headache; she excused herself from the speaking to a girl names Julie from the Wicca group. Heading to the kitchen, the redhead closed the door behind her and sighed. Her chest was hurting, making it hard to breathe. Moving to the sinks, she filled a glass with water; downing it in one gulp. Setting the glass down she moved to a stool and sat down.
Few minutes later the door opened and Dawn walked in, she saw Willow resting her head on the counter top. “Will, you ok?” She moved to the redhead and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. The taller woman looked up nodding, “Yeah, just tired, head and chest hurts.” The brunette nodded grabbing two pills and gave them to Willow. “Thanks Dawnie.” Willow smiled and took the pills. The smaller girl noticed Willow started to rub over the stitches. “Um, don’t do that Will, that won’t help the healing.” She frowned looking at the other woman.
Willow looked down then blushed as she stopped; she looked at Dawn with a smile. “Thanks sweetie, you enjoying your evening, you seem very peppy tonight?” The girl’s eyes brightened as she sat down by her best friend. “Well…Faith comes home tomorrow. So I am excited. I miss her.” Willow smiled and gave Dawn a partial hug around the shoulders. “I am glad, you two have a lot of catching up to do.” She teased the brunette, seeing the girl’s cheeks flush red. “Well um yeah, um you coming back in there anytime soon?” Dawn pointed to the closed door.
The redheaded woman shook her head, “Would you tell Tara I am in here please?” Dawn nodded and placed a kiss on Willow’s cheek. “You relax I will get Tara.” The girl jumped off the stool, and headed out, making sure she closed the door again. She spotted Tara across the room, so started to make her way over.
Back in the kitchen, Willow sighed deeply looking at her chest. Closing her eyes she began to meditate, drawing from the earth to speed up the healing process. She meditated for a few minutes, then heard a knock on the kitchen door that led outside. Slowly opening up her eyes, she walked over and turned the outside light on. No one was there, slowly opening the door; she looked around and saw no one. Looking at the ground she finally saw a small package, addressed to both Tara and herself. Picking it up, she moved back in and shut the door.
‘Hey you, why are you all alone in here?” The voice was soft but startled Willow, she jumped and turned around as she caught her breath. “You scared me half to death baby.” She smiled at Tara and walked to the island setting the package down. “I got a headache, and chest started hurting so I came in here. Yes I already took something for it.” She stated before her lover could ask her. “We have a package, it was dropped off just now.” The blond walked over and looked at it, “I don’t like mysterious packages. They always lead to bad things.”
Tara poked it with a finger, she didn’t sense anything from it, but was still very wary. “Should we open it?” Looking at Willow, chuckling at the site; the redhead already had a knife in her hand to begin opening the package. “Well it’s to both of us, so shall we?” Handing the knife to Tara, the blond took it. “Alright, whatever it is good or bad, we can face it.” Willow nodded as Tara starting to open the package, took all of 2 minutes. The packaged contained a smooth cedar box that was stained. No markings on it at all, they looked at each other quizzically. ‘Well, we should open it.” Willow reached out and flipped the lid up. They felt a gust of wind but then nothing, looking into the box. Suddenly Tara picked up the box and shook it, turned it upside down, but there was nothing there. “Well that’s strange, I wonder if that gust of wind had something to do…” She trailed off as she felt a cold chill.
A small voice in her head prompted her to ask Willow about Julie. “Will, I saw you talking to Julie earlier; you were standing rather close to her, there something going on between you two?” Tara’s eyes looked at Willow. The redhead went wide eyed, ‘How could Tara even ask something like that!’ she thought. “There is nothing going on between Julie and me, what the hell you ask that for? You know you are my only girl.” Willow got defensive as a voice in her head gave her something to counter with. “Speaking of which, why are you all chummy with Lisa the other day when we met for lunch? You seemed to be more into her then you were into me.”
Tara’s nostrils flared at the accusation, “I would never! I was the one that asked you to marry me remember….” Willow cut her off, “Yeah you did and I answered with a resounding yes, or are you rethinking your question now?” Green eyes darkened, angry as she waited for a reply. “Why the hell would I retract that question, or are you having second thoughts. Maybe you rather be with Julie huh?” Tara’s hands were balling into fists.
Willow’s eyes bulged, “I’m not taking this shit, we are supposed to be happy but you are acting like a bitch!” She pushed past Tara, wincing as she did so. Stormed out of the room, but Tara was on her heels. “Oh what you gonna run away like a kid and sulk?” Everyone’s head turned in shock looking at the two. “I’m going for a walk, I need to cool off after that fucked up question!” Willow grabbed a jacket, opened the front door and left; slamming the door behind her. Tara stared at the door for a minute, then huffed up the stairs to their room and slammed the door.
Buffy looked at Dawn, her younger sister shrugged not knowing what was going on. “I’m going after Willow, she knows better than to go out at night like this, Dawn can you…” Dawn walked to the stairs, “I’m on it sis, go after Willow.” She headed up the steps. Everyone was looking awkward, “Well I think I want to go home and have sex.” Anya stated plainly, looking at Xander expectantly. Xander almost spit his coffee on Riley. A few people chuckled, Riley handed him a napkin.
Xander nodded his thanks as he moved to Anya whispering, “Really, you don’t need to do that Ahn.” She shrugged, “It broke the ice after awkwardness.” Others agreed, they all started talking again. Slowly the guests were starting to leave, saying their goodbyes. Xander decided to stay to make sure his friends were ok, of course Anya stayed with him. “Xander, why are humans so emotionally unstable?” He sighed and sat on the couch, knowing this would be a long night. “I don’t know Anya, we just are. Sometimes something happens and we don’t think.”
She listened, then sat beside him. “Is it something that every person has to work through?” He looked at her, seeing she was really trying to understand. “Yes Ahn, that’s exactly what we have to do. We all work through things differently. Knowing Willow, she is in pain and emotions are high. Tara is just happy to have Willow home, so a different emotional high.” The ex-vengeance demon nodded and leaned into his side. They both sat there quietly, hoping that whatever was going on, it would be resolved quickly.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
The man in the car smiled as he saw Willow stomp out of the house upset, he texted his contact saying she had left the house heading south down the street. He then saw the slayer come out and go after her, he shrugged it off. He knew Tara would be upset in her room, dialing a number on his cell he waited.
“Dracus here.” The voice was deep and gnarly as he heard the voice. “Yes sir, it’s Coleman. The package was delivered and the redhead is out about town somewhere, with the slayer going after her.” There was a moment of silence, “Good work, keep an eye on them, keep me updated.” Dracus hung up; the man put his cell away.
Dracus rose from his desk and went to the window, he looked out over the busy San Diego streets. His plan was finally in motions, the two strongest witches in the world would soon hate each other. Preventing them from getting married was imperative, if they wed; he would surely die. “Not this time, this time they will be the ones to fall.” He lit a cigarette and took a puff.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Dawn knocked on the bedroom door, after a few minutes of no sound she opened it, “Hey Tara?” She peeked in, seeing the blond curled up on the bed whimpering. She walked over and rested a hand on Tara’s shoulder, the woman jumped at the touch. “What coming here to tell me you’re leaving?” Dawn looked confused, “Tara, it’s me Dawn.” Tara turned and sat up, “Sorry Dawn, I thought you were Willow.”
“Why would Willow leave?” The smaller girl asked sitting next to the blond. Tara sighed, “She’s been getting cozy with Julie from Wicca group. I saw them tonight talking.” Dawn’s jaw dropped, “Are you kidding me, You seriously think?” She stood up, immediately upset. “How could you even think such a thing about Willow? She loves you to death! What the hell happened to make you think she would ever cheat!?!” Dawn stood in front of Tara, hands on her hips. Her face looked angry.
The blond sat on the edge of the bed, “She was way too close to Julie, laughing and she touched her arm!”
Dawn couldn’t believe what she was hearing, Tara sounded like an insecure kid. “Tara, Willow is devoted to you, she touched Julie’s arm to excuse herself to the kitchen. She wasn’t feeling well, what the hell I tell you she wants you in the kitchen, and then out of nowhere you’re both yelling. Then Willow leaves, at night no less!” The girl sat back down and took Tara’s hands, “What happened?”
The blond looked at her friend, “When I went into the kitchen, Willow had a package in her hands. It was addressed to us both, so we opened it. There was a gust of wind, we looked at the box, it was empty.” She took a breath, “Then a voice in my head told me to ask will about her and Julie. It made me angry and I confronted her about it. Then Willow asked me about me and Lisa when we three went to lunch, how I was more into Lisa than her.” Tara fought tears as she spoke.
“Which made me angrier, we got into a fight. Willow stormed off; well I guess everyone saw that part.” Dawn rubbed Tara’s back, “You said a voice in your head told you to ask, you don’t have voices in your head, that’s very strange. Tara Willow loves only you, has proved it more than she should need too.” Tara nodded, “But the voice keeps telling me, and I get angry.” “Wait the voice is still there?” Dawn wondered if that package might be the problem. “Yes it is.” Tara replied. The smaller girl moved from the bed, “Don’t move.” She stated, running down to get the box. She came back a minute later holding the box, “This box right?” Tara nodded.
She looked over the box, not finding anything. Then something caught her eyes, she moved to the desk in the room. Grabbing the letter opener she pried the bottom of the box off, underneath it read; ?? ????? ???????? ????, ?? ?? ????? fester, ?????? ?? ?? ?????????, ?? ???? ???????? ?? ?????? ? ???? ??? ????. ?? ?? ???????, ???? Mote ?? ?????. (To those who open this, let hate fester, let it break apart, let them hate each other. By the darkness so mote it be.)
Dawn read it frowning, “Tara, someone cursed you and Willow. It’s Greek, a hate spell; someone doesn’t want you with Willow.” Tara stood up and walked over to look, her eyes going wide. “Oh Goddess, what have I done…” She began to cry and slumped on the bed. Dawn moved to her and held her. “Buffy went after Willow, we’ll work this out. Everything will be ok. Tara leaned into Dawn and cried, hoping Buffy would be able to get to Willow.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Willow was walking through a grave yard when Buffy caught up to her. “Hey Will, wait up!” She trotted to the redhead’s side. “You really need to be safer, charging out like that, at night no less.” She fell in stride with the witch. “Go away Buff.” A grave started to move, but before Buffy could ask; Willow sent a fire bolt into eth ground ashing the vampire. “Willow, what’s going on, you and Tara were having such a good time?”
Willow looked at the blond, “She accused me of cheating, and I threw it back in her face.” The slayer stopped and gaped at Willow, “Willow, she would never cheat on you, I kow you don’t cheat on her.” Buffy’s voice was calm. “Buff, I got so angry, I just ugh. She asked me first and it pissed me off.” Buffy put a hand on Willow’s arm, “Will, what happened, how did this happen?”
The witch sat on a tombstone, raising her head. Buffy saw the tear stains on her cheek from crying. “I was meditating, and I heard a knock on the back door. I looked and found a package.” Just then Buffy’s cell rang; she answered and after a minute hung up. “Willow, what was the package?” The redhead sighed, “Was an empty box, we opened it together, and we felt a gust of wind but than nothing. How could she even think that, I would never, but she was getting damn chummy with Lisa?” She spat out.
Buffy wrapped her arms around her best friend, “Will, we think you and Tara has been cursed, Dawn found a hate curse underneath the bottom of the box.” She felt Willow stiffen, then pulling away. “ I gotta get to Tara, I need to get to her now!” As the redhead spoke a dark sedan pulled up, a man stepping out. Buffy stood beside Willow eyeing the man, she got a weird vibe. Grabbing Willow’s hand, the redhead squeezed back as she watched the man as well.
“Willow Rosenberg?” The man stepped into the light, he had a sly smirk. “Who’s asking?” Buffy asked cooly. The man stepped closer, “My name is Coleman, Mark Coleman. I need to speak to the redhead.” Willow’s eyes narrowed, she looked at Buffy not knowing how this was. “Well talk, she is right here.” Willow nodded her head toward the man, but said nothing. “Well I want to speak in private, without the slayer around.” Buffy whipped her head around, how did he know who she was.
Willow stood up, never letting go of Buffy’s hand, “This is as private as you are getting, what’s your business with me.” Willow’s voice was laced with anger, but she kept herself in check. “Well, I am wondering how you and Tara are, I saw you upset, was hoping everything was ok.” He stated with a smirk on his face, he knew he would probably die. But this is what his master wanted, though he wasn’t sure why.
“You dare speak my fiancés name, I don’t know you. Mind your own business and let me be.” Buffy stepped in front of Willow as she saw the man Advance. “She said leave, I suggest you leave.” Coleman kept stepping forward; Willow stepped further behind buffy then stepped back up, “Wait, you left the package, with the curse on it.” It was a statement, but the man’s eyes widened. How they could know it was cursed, he thought. They were smarter than he thought. “So what if I was?”
Buffy didn’t need to know anymore, she pushed Willow back, and gave the guy a kick to the stomach. It should have sent him flying, but he only moved about five feet backwards. “You are not human.” Buffy hissed, Willow was by the tombstone again to stay out of the way. Coleman just chuckled dusting his pants off. “You are way too hot headed.” The slayer rolled her eyes, then stepped up. “Willow go home, you need to talk to Tara. I will deal with him.”
The witch got up and took off running back to the house, Coleman tried to go after her but Buffy was too quick for him. “Where do you think you are going?” She raised an eyebrow at him. He lunged at her, tackling her in the midsection. When they landed on the ground, Buffy jabbed an elbow into his back making him loose his grip. She kicked him off, standing she pulled a bowie knife out of her boot. He chuckled, “really a knife, wow you’re original.” He stalked around her; she kept her eyes fixed on him. He was cocky, too cocky for her liking.
As they circled he tried to take out her legs, instead she swung and the knife connected with his shoulder; making an odd squishing slicing sound. “Ewww that was just wrong.” She commented as he screamed in pain, she didn’t care to delay her own home going. SO with a quick twist, she forced the blade to angle towards his neck then pulled through his neck and other shoulder. Pulling the knife out she watched as the head and shoulders separated from the body. “Man you demons just get more disgusting.” Then she looks at her knife, “Guess now you are a part of the slayer battle collection.” Cleaning the blade on the grass, she shoved Coleman into a freshly dug grave, put some dirt on top and headed home.
*****************************************************************************************************************************************
Willow burst into the house, and ran upstairs, she got to their bedroom door. She stopped as she heard crying, hearing Dawn’s voice; she listened. “She would never do that to you Tara, seriously. Willow is so in love with you.” “I know, I can’t believe someone tried to…I can’t believe I said those things.” The redhead put her resolve face on, placing her hand on the knob opening the door. Stepping in she shut it and walked over quietly, kneeling down beside her lover. She nodded to Dawn to just quietly leave, the girl took the hint smiling and slide out from Tara. At the door she looked back, then closed the door as she excited.
“Tara…” Willow took the blonde’s hands in hers, trying to get the woman to look at her. “Baby I am so sorry for what I said, so very sorry. I just heard this voice and then you were yelling and I was yelling and then I just stormed out all mad and fuck I dunno why I said what I did but I said it and I just hope…” She was cut off by the worlds softest lips pressing against hers, eyes began to close. Both witches leaned into the kiss; Tara’s arms went around Willow’s neck tightly. Willow held Tara around the waist and leaned up more. The redhead could feel tears on her cheeks from the blond.
She slowly pulled away, tucking some of the blonde’s hair behind an ear. “I’m here baby, and it seems we beat it. “Though, I still have something in my head saying shit.” She looked into Tara’s eyes; a hand caressed the woman’s face. “I am sorry too, I didn’t mean those things Willow, I would never doubt you.” Willow nodded, and got up to sit on the bed. “I know baby, someone is trying to keep us apart, we need to stay strong and fight whatever is out there.”
She wrapped her arms around the blond, pulling her closer, she felt a pain in her chest, finally looking down she saw red. “Crap, I’m bleeding. Think I tore a few stitches.” Tara looked at her love’s chest, taking the redhead’s jacket. “Take your shirt and bra off baby.” She moved to set the coat on the desk, coming back with a curved needle and surgical thread. “Always have some on hand for who knows what injury.” She smiled and sat back down. Willow had tossed the bra and top off to the side. They both inspected the wound, there were no tears but 3 stitches were missing.
“Hmmm, it’s actually healing quite well. Did you meditate earlier?” Tara touched either side of the wound, the redhead didn’t flinch. “I did in the kitchen, before Dawn came in. felt right do to it right then and there.” The blood was coming from the very bottom of the incision. “adurere.” Tara whispered, the wound sizzled for a moment then the bleeding stopped. “Thanks sweetie.” Green eyes looked into blue; she took the blonde’s hands in hers. “Let’s promise to always talk things out, no matter how weird or outrageous it may sound. I want to marry you Tara. You are the only one for me.”
Feeling reassured, Tara smiled as she leaned forward, “You can’t get rid of me so easily as a yelling match. You are mine forever.” She pressed her lips against the redhead’s, eliciting a moan from her lover. Pulling the woman closer, hands stroking the back of the woman’s neck, “Goddess above, you are amazing.” Willow smiled, lying on the bed. “So are you Tare.” She yawns and gives a little stretch. “Mmm I think it’s time we go to bed.” She sat up and pulled off her shoes, and pants. Then watched as Tara stripped down to panties, they crawled back into bed. Tara got settled, waving her lover over to her to lie down. Willow happily complies, resting her head on the blonde’s chest. “Now this is the way to sleep, such soft pillows.” Tara giggled and ran fingers through the redhead’s hair and over her back. “I love you Willow Rosenberg.” Willow grinned, “I love you too Tara MaClay.” Both closed their eyes as they drifted off to dreamland.

Dracus felt as one of his employees died, he shook his head. Knowing he got rid of a nuisance of a demon. He went to his desk and started looking through a black book. “If these witches caught that spell so fast, I need something that will take them a lot longer to figure out. Or perhaps I will just kill one; that too would solve my problem. He stroked his chin where a soul patch was barely growing. A few minutes later, he reached for his phone to make an important call.

Buffy made it back to the house, seeing Xander and his girlfriend on the couch. Chuckling she put a blanket over them and walked upstairs. Dawn was by Tara and Willows door, tapping her sister on the shoulder with a smile. “Hey, they ok in there?” The younger girl jumped, then took in a deep breath. “Yeah, I think they are now asleep. I’m going to bed, then tomorrow big research on that box. After classes of course, only 1 tomorrow,” The brunette smiled and skipped down the hall to her and Faith’s room, excited about the next day; but also worried about her friends.
Buffy moved to her room, changing into PJ’s that were much more comfy. She slid into bed, looking around she looked up as if to look to the sky. “Please help them; they deserve each other, no matter who wants to destroy what they have. They need each other.” Buffy closed her eyes, fading quickly into her own dreams.
