Buffy had finally given up on the both of us. The constant giggling affair and the tickle tortures were distracting her from patrol so she finally told us she was going on ahead and we could catch up later. Tara and I sat against a particularly large gravestone flooding our spot with darkness.My throbbing head was lying in the crook of her neck inhaling her beautiful scent. It was just so unique and Tara-like. I bathed in it, living in thoughts of her.
The icy snow had finally given up and stopped falling. Moonlight bounced off the mounds of it in shimmering rays, glinting on the eary graves that marked the departed. Remembering all the close calls I'd had with death, an involuntary chill raced up my spine. Tara picked up the sudden movement like a hawk.
Protectively, she snuggled me closer.
"Willow, baby, are you okay?" I looked up into her eyes trying to explain it without words. For the first time being with Tara, it didn't work. Confusion called at me through her blue eyes.
"Being the slayer's best friend gives a lot of close calls with death and a lot of evil baddy memories which lead to involuntary chilly-willies that run up my spine giving more excuses to snuggle with Tare-bear and-" Tara cut me off with her finger, soft, but determined against my fast moving lips. I sighed deeply at the simple touch. Her hand moved lower to my chin and brought my lips to hers. I explored every part of her mouth. Attempting to memorize the feelings of each little centimeter, but everytime, no matter how hard I tried, I found new things. Tara was amazing like that. I could feel her smile against the kiss and finally, we parted. I hugged her close, capturing this moment to remember years from now. Every moment I spent with her was a memory to cherish.
A determined voice piped up from behind us.
"You two better run, unless you want to be turned un-dead,"Buffy said warning them as three vampires lept at them from the grave they were huddled against.
"Damn the un-dead! Can't they wait to pester us until after my Tara-cuddles are over?" Tara pulled me away from the vamps as Buffy fought until all that was left were tiny piles of dust.
"So you guys pick any better times to do your cuddling?" Buffy mocked almost out of breath.
"One of these days I'm going to make them learn. No one is supposed to interrupt my Willow-time," Tara piped in squashing the ash piles until they disapeared. Her delicate fingers entwined with mine, creating an electricity that pounded through my veins.
"Yea, maybe I can make them learn." No one noticed but I could feel a dark power surge through me that I had felt before. The last time that dark power had been felt, it had caused the loss of my Tara. White energy pulled and yanked at the darkness until it disapeared, to be forgotten.
Buffy led us out of the graveyard and onto the dimly lit street. An old and loud car raced up to us on the street.
"Giles, what the hell?'' Buffy inquired, surpised at the sudden appearence.
"You three, get in the car. There is no time for senseless and idiotic questions right now. The demon has started his attack,'' Giles stated with an undertone of fear. Tara pulled me into the back, while Buffy shot into the front seat.
"There is a severly hurt first victim of this ruthless demon. It seems to be sucking up the crystals in the snow and transforming it into some kind of mystical energy. The victim in question's brain has been removed."
"Ohh ohh, do you think it could be an evil hard of mind-sucking zombies?" I dismissed this thought and muttered to myself, "Of course not, that's not what zombies do." Tara stroked her fingers through my hair.
"Shh, baby it's ok. First thought that comes to your mind." How Tara alaways managed to calm me down was beyond me.
"Giles look out," Buffy's sudden and urgent voice caled out as someone jumped out in front of the already speeding car. Giles swerved to the side in a loud screaming of tires.
"Is everyone all right in here?" Giles asked in deep concern.
"What in the name of hell was that?"Tara asked breathless from screaming. I opened the door slowly and steppd out into the chilly night. A hunched from lay across the road. I walked up to it, terrified of what it might be. Whatever it was groaned in pain and i recognised it as human. The twisted form turned over to look at me.
"Oh, my god. Faith?!"
hahaha cliffhanger. im so evil evil evil. well i hope this is longer than my usual ones. so keep those replies coming!
