Wishing For Darkness
Prologue
The Troika house
Warren and Jonathan are watching Star Wars, both quoting from the script which they know off by heart. The door is suddenly flung open causing them both to jump off the sofa and hide.
Andrew stands in the doorway "Come out, you pair of big cowards and have a look at what I've found" he tosses something on the table.
Jonathan comes out from behind the sofa looking rather sheepish. He picks the object "What is it?"
Andrew shrugs his shoulders "I was hoping it was something valuable. The slayer's little sis dropped it when she was being chased by..."
By what ever is the monster of the week" said Warren joining the conversation. "Jeez, I'm suprised Buffy ever lets her out by herself"
Jonathan staring at the object "It looks like some sort of demon talisman. I think we should study it"
TBC
Next part same spoilers as before, still a lot of the lame gunmen bit I promise the fic is not based round them
Part 1
The Magic Box later the same day
the whole gang is there having just finished school or work.
Anya surveys the scene, Buffy and Xander reading magazines and comics, Dawn and tara thumb wrestling. She turns to Willow "I should charge you all for the use of the table"
Willow gives the ex-demon a tolerant smile "But then you would have no one to clean up,cash up and never mind the fact that Tara has been giving up her lunchtimes to help you with the inventory"
Yes, that was very kind of her" said Anya
Willow looking towards her lover "She is a very kind person"
***********************************
Back at the Troika house
Jonathan is comparing the talisman to a woodcut in a very old book "Hey guys, I think I've got it"
Warren snatches the book from Jonathan "What does it say"
Jonathan showing the impatient Warren the picture "It says here that it is the talisman of the demon D'Hoffyrn"
"Who is D'Hoffryn" said Andrew looking up from his own research.
With a little smile, Jonathan continues, enjoying the chance to show off "From what i can gather he seems to be some sort of demon recruitment officer"
A puzzled Andrew "Huh?"
Jonathan with a sigh "He gives mortals the chance to become................."
"Isn't that Xander Harris's girlfriend?" Said Warren who has continued looking through the book.
With that all three gathered round looking at the woodcut of Anyanka.
Jonathan shakes his head "No, Anya was at school with all of us" He reads down the passage "and I think we would have noticed that she was a thousand year old demon"
Warren looks at him "Why? With all the other things that was going on in Sunnydale High, I would have thought a thousand year old demon would have seemed quite normal"
Andrew starts to take Warrens lead "Besides why would the slayer's little sister have it, if it didn't belong to one of her little friends"
Jonathan shaking his head " I don't buy it guys. Why would the slayer hangout with a demon? Never mind the fact that Xander is engaged to her?"
"Why don't we call him?" said Warren
Again Jonathan shakes his head " I don't think Xander would tell us even if she.........."
"Are you stupid?" shouts Warren temper flashing in his "I mean D'Hoffryn, not Xander 'I'm one of the slayers best friends' Harris. Look it says if we go to the this crypt and do the chant hey presto demon boss. Plus we have the talisman"
Joanthan still looking stung from Warren's last comment "Why? What would be the point? Also dangerous much"
"Don't you get" it said Warren "I can't see this guy being very happy that one of his demon's is helping the slayer. Can you?
I don't know, I just have a feeling we can use this to our advantage
TBC
Next part, same spoilers as before just The Lame Gunmen in this scene. If Xita reads this can you tell me if you got my E-mail.
Part 2
About half an hour later The Troika are assembled at the crypt, chanting the chant. Finally D'Hoffryn appears.
"Why have you mortals risked my wrath and brought me before you"
The 3 boys all start to look nervous, eyes darting back and fore, looking for a quick exit.
Jonathan steps forward and starts to gabble "Well you see, we found this talisman and we read about you in a book and........"
Warren takes off from where Jonathan had wound down to a halt "We believe that either one of your demons is working for the slayer or has been planted there by you"
D'Hoffryn rears up "This is no concern of yours"
Starting to feel a little bit boldier Warren continues "Maybe we should go tell the slayer about your little spy"
The demon starts to laugh out loud at this "You really have no idea what you are talking about, do you? Got to the slayer, I do not think she will be suprised to learn Anyanka was a demon"
"Was a demon" said Warren
"Yes, that is what I said" D'Hoffryn starts to look a little uncomforable.
Sensing they might actually be getting some where Andrew joins in "That must burn. Seeing on of your demon's, I mean sorry, ex-demon's helping the slayer. I bet she can provide some really great inside info......"
D'Hoffryn claps his hand "Enough I grow bored. I will take my leave now. I have lived to long to listen to the senseless prattle of little boys"
"We are here to offer you an Idea, maybe even vengence" said Warren.
"Vengence?" queries D'Hoffryn.
Warren thinking quickly "It's what she was, wasn't it? A vengence demon, she tempted betrayed women with the power of the wish so the could have revenge over unfaithfull men"
"Once again you are not telling me anything I do not already know. Either you have something for me or you are wasting my time" snaps back D'Hoffryn.
What if you, unbeknown to Anya give her back her power, just for one wish. Think of the chaos it could cause amongst the slayer and her friends" said Warren.
D'Hoffryn shakes his head "Not possible"
Warren looks disappointed "Why?"
D'Hoffryn explains "One, I do not make people demons against their will. Two, Anyanka no longer has her power source. Three, I have no ..........."
"Power to make it happen" takes up Warren
"I have no wish to make it happen" corrects D'Hoffryn.
"Why isn't it sort of your job" sad Jonathan reading from the book "It says here that your demon's are created to cause chaos and destruction amongst the mortal creatures"
"I think it is what I said" pipes up Warren "I just don't think you have the power. I mean you would think a really powerfull demon would jump at the chance to put one over on the slayer"
"Enough, have your silly mortal game, your one wish. A word of warning if it goes wrong I will not protect you from the slayer"
With that D'Hoffryn disappears in a cloud of smoke
TBC
Next part, I know some people will probaly disagree with the sentiment's expressed by Willow but the whole idea came from some deleted scences from the shooting script from Smashed. The spoilers are as before and it probaly helps to be familiar with Season 3 The Wish. Anyway here goes (please don't hate me)
Part 3
The Magic Box, the scene much as we left it, the Scoobies gathered and a few last minute shoppers browsing.
"I'm glad you and Tara got back together" said Anya. "It was hard watching you two apart and hurting"
Willow nods her head suprised by Anya's words.
"I couldn't believe it when she left you" continues Anya "I always thought she would support you no matter what"
I think I got what deserved" said Willow "but we are back together now and that is all that matters to me"
"It must have hurt at the time?" Anya probing a bit more deeply. "I cannot imagine what my life would be without Xander and if he left me" Anya stops and looks across at her husband to be and then continues "I don't think I could stand it"
Willow nods in agreement "It was hard, especially as I would not admit to myself that she was right and I was wrong about my over use of magic. To be honest, at one point, just after I had de-ratted Amy I was glad she had left. I was getting so high and arrogant, I felt she was just a nag who had held me back"
"Really" said Anya in suprise "you thought that about Tara? I've always believed that she is the niciest,kindest one of all of us"
"She is" said Willow "but I was in such a dark place. I wasn't thinking straight. In fact once, I'm ashamed to say, I even found myself thinking......." Willow stops not quite ready to confront all the bad feelings that had welled up inside her during that two to three month period when she lost contol of herself and her life.
"You thought what?" asked Anya
"It's not important, honest" said Willow
"You can't just keep me dangling like that. I mean I have to know now. I always thought it was just me who had really bad thoughts about people therefore you must tell me what you thought so I know I am normal" said Anya with a triumphant grin.
"Is that ex-demon logic" said willow "because it doesn't really make sense to me"
Anya waving her finger and nodding at Willow "I know what you doing. Your trying to make me all defensive so that I will forget everything you said but I'm not going to let you change the subject"
With a defeated shrug of her shoulders, Willow looks towards the table and her beautifull blonde girlfriend "All right I'll tell you Anya, but this between you and me. I wished that she wasn't here, that she had gone or even that she was dead. I just felt she had left me for no good reason and I couldn't stand it. Then when I de-ratted Amy and we went out and for the first time ever I had the chance to just unleash all my power. It felt so good, I was mad at her for holding me back. I forgot that it was mostly through her help that I had progressed as a witch, instead I thought she had imprisoned my power and as I said before held me back."
Anya looked at Willow in shock "For goodness sake Willow, don't you think those are pathetic reasons for wishing someone dead? Especially someone you were in love with"
"Am in love with" corrects the hacker "crazy, madly, don't think I could live without her, in love. I told you I was ashamed of myself. I was just trying to explain how far I had gone into a dark place. I mean could you really imagine me, Willow, standing in front of you and saying I wish Tara was dead"
The terrible visage of Anyanka appears "Done"
Back to Anya "What the......"
The Magic Box is now locked and in darkness wiht only Willow and Anya left standing there.

Wishing For Darkness
Part 4
Same spoilers as before, I am not an Angel expert so if I get some details wrong I apologise.
Tara finds herself in a large white room. She is dressed in white robes, her hair is tied back and a laurel wreath crowns her. The whole scene is very Grecian with Tara herself looking like Aphrodite. She looks round in confusion and panic.
“Do not panic child” a deep serene voice speaks it sounds neither male nor female but rather a strange but pleasant mixture of the two.
“W-ho are you? W-where am I? W-what h-happened to me? Where are my f-friends and Willow, w-where’s W-willow?” Said Tara the panic welling up inside her making her stumble and stammer over her words.
“Please child, calm down. All your questions will be answered in due course.”
Tara tears starting to well up in her eyes “but I w-was in the shop.”
The voice cuts in “You are to all intents and purposes dead”
“Dead but how?” said Tara,” I don’t remember any danger”
The voice again interrupts the panicking girl “We will explain fully. We are the powers that be. We watch over and try to keep a balance in the world. You and your friends are amongst a select few who fight against evil. All your paths have been laid down by prophecies, even the vampire and the ex-demon, you were all destined to lead the fight. There has been a change, someone has interfered and broken the rules but your destiny belongs to us.”
Tara looks as one of the walls starts to shimmer and is replaced by the scene in The Magic Box. She can see Willow and Anya standing together looking in shock.
“Even as we speak those two realise something has happened and they will do everything in their powers to have you returned to them. They both love you very much.”
Tara interrupts “Both? I know Willow does but Anya…”
“You misunderstand. The young witch will always love you. You and she are soul mates whose destinies will be entwined forever. The demon believes in her heart that you are the only true friend she has had in a thousand years. Your gift to your friends has nothing to do with magical abilities or fighting prowess. You bring comfort, nurture and support to the group. They are all missing your calming influence.”
The wall shimmers again and this time it shows Spike in his crypt. The blonde vampire is punching the walls and at the same time saying over and over again “Why am I always too bloody late”
The scene changes Giles is sitting in an aircraft. Next to him sits a middle-aged woman who seems to be talking to him incessantly, eventually he turns to her with a pained expression on his face “Please madam can you be quiet.”
The lady looks at him “You English people should learn to be more friendly”
With a sigh Giles replies, “With respect I am travelling to America,” he pauses for a second searching for the right words, “to bury one of my daughters. I’d prefer it if you would just leave me alone.”
Scene changes, showing Xander driving his car. There are tears in the young man’s eyes. He pulls over and gets out his cell phone and punches in a number. He listens for a moment then throws it down despair “Willow, where are you?”
He picks up the phone up and punches in another number,” Anya have you seen Willow? She’s with you. Thank God. I thought she might have tried to do something stupid,” he listens for a second, “ well you know try to and resurrect Tara. She doesn’t deserve that, she should be left in peace. Anyway keep Will with you I’ll be there in about 20 minutes”
Scene changes, the Summers house. It shows Buffy sitting at the dining room table her head in her hands.
Scene changes, Dawn’s bedroom, the teenager is lying on her bed in the foetal position. She is sobbing her heart out. The pain she is feeling is palpable.
Tara moves forward wanting to comfort the girl she regards as a mixture of younger sister and daughter. She looks up “Can’t you make it stop”
“No, we cannot interfere”
“But you said someone broke the rules and my destiny belongs to you” said Tara.
“We will explain. We used to have two oracles that were a contact between those we needed to contact or who needed to contact us. Unfortunately the side of darkness slaughtered them. If your friends’ do not manage to figure out what happened to you. You and your love will become our new oracles.”
“M-my love? queries Tara.
“Willow, she will not be able to live without you”
“No, she would never kill herself” said Tara with utter conviction.
“This is correct but she will become careless when it comes to fighting demons”
Tara deciding to change tack “W-why um did someone do this?”
“Out of mischief “ said the voice.
“Do you know who did it?” said Tara
“Yes”
“Who?” the blonde snaps back.
“We are not at liberty to tell you”
“Great” said Tara, so basically the other side can do what they want but we must play by the rules”
“We are sorry…”
“You’re sorry, great, aren’t you forgetting something. I’m the one who is dead. You show me pictures of the people I love in pain, you tell me my lover will probably die but you will not help them or me.” The blonde stops temper flashing in her usually placid blue eyes.
“We understand how you feel and as a concession to you we will give you 3 chances to contact your friends to help them out. You can watch them at anytime just say their name and their image will appear. As for now make yourself comfortable”
With those words the far wall drops away to reveal pillars and a terrace. On the terrace there are various chairs, tables and a lounger. The tables are loaded with a selection of meats, bread, fruits and two large pitchers one of water and one of wine.
Further on from the terrace Tara can see gardens and a pool. Almost as if the powers had tried to recreate paradise.
Tara turns back to the far wall “Dawn”.
The image of the broken hearted teenager appears.
“You said I could contact my friends 3 times I wish to use one now” said Tara.
“Are you sure” said the voice.
“Yes, I want to talk with Dawn” said Tara
“As you wish”

Wishing For Darkness
Part 5
All spoilers as of before
The Summers’ house
Dawn lays on her bed her feelings of pain and grief threatening to overwhelm her. She is also starting to feel a lot of anger and resentment at losing the people she loved and cared for. Tara dying had hit her almost as hard as losing her mother she had always known that the blonde witch would be there for her no matter what.
Dawn senses suddenly come alive. She starts to look around the room wildly “Whose there?” her nose twitches as a familiar scent washes over her “Tara?”
Dawn’s body becomes enveloped in a golden light; she can feel arms being wrapped round her and her body being rocked back and fore.
“Ssh, sweetie” said Tara “I’m here”
“Tara how…I mean…where?” said the youngster obviously in great confusion.
“Dawn I don’t have long. I just want to say I am watching over you,” said Tara.
“Please stay with me I love you and I miss so much,” said Dawn.
“I can’t sweetie,” said Tara. “I know this hard for you and you have been through so much but don’t feel sad because of me. I’m still here and I will always love you. Just try to be happy, remember me, as I was, not as a dead empty shell. I do wish I could stay but I have to go now” with this Tara kisses Dawn’s forehead gently. “ Just tell Willow I know, I’ll try to help and I love her very much.”
************************************************
The Magic Box
Anya turns to Willow “Xanders coming. He’s worried you may do something stupid. Do we tell him what happened?”
“What do we tell him?” said Willow. “We don’t quite know how but we seem to have killed Tara? We have to figure out how you got your powers’ back and why. Do you think you could call D’Hoffryn?”
“I’m not sure…”
“Hey, I have his talisman back at the house” said Willow. “We should go there now”
“No,” said Anya “we have to wait for Xander”
“Why?” said Willow anger rising within her.
“Because I said we would and if you don’t want him to know we have to make sure he won’t ask to many questions” explained Anya.
“Anya what happens if we can’t bring her back?” said Willow her voice starting to break “It means I would lose her forever” the hacker looks at Anya the tears running down her face “I don’t think I could live without her”
“I promise you we will get her back. Someone used me to kill my best friend, do you think I will take that lying down?” said Anya determination and anger showing on her face.
Anya awkwardly puts her arm round Willow trying to comfort the red head who has finally began to grasp the full horror of the situation.
The shop door is being pounded sounding almost as if it is about to torn off its hinges.
“Hold on Xander, if you hurt the door you will have to make a new one,” said Anya opening the door and is almost knocked over as a blonde vampire streaks inside.
“I killed the bastard,” shouts Spike triumphantly.
“Who?” asked Anya confused.
Spike looks at her as if she’s mad “The vamp that killed Red’s bird. I ripped his ugly head off. It was brilliant…”
“Spike” said Anya “stop” trying to draw his attention to Willow.
“I thought you’d be pleased a bit of vengeance and all that,” said Spike.
Willow steps out of the shadows “Doesn’t bring her back though does it?”
“Oh, Will, sorry didn’t see you there. Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be at home being looked after by the slayer” said Spike closing the distance between him and Willow before whispering in her ear “I know why you are here but don’t do it. If any of your little gang will end up in heaven it’ll be your girl. Leave her be.”
“Why does everybody say that, god, I’ve learned my lesson” said Willow.
Spike looks at Willow’s tear stained face “Come on Red we all know how much you loved her. Remember last year when you went after a hell god. We know you don’t always think straight when it comes to Tara and I know you wont believe me but I’m sorry she’s dead.”
“Spike how did it happen?” asked Willow
“Do you really need to go through it again and where is the sudden memory loss from?” said Spike “probably best if you just leave it”
Spike turns to go just as Xander, Buffy and Dawn walk in the shop. Dawn and Buffy are arguing.
“…Dawn I don’t want too hear it especially in front of Willow,” said Buffy.
“But she…”
“I said leave it” said an angry Buffy.
“I’m not making this up,” said Dawn her jaw set with determination.
“What don’t you want to be said in front of Willow?” asked Willow.
“Nothing, it’s nothing important,” said Buffy.
“How can you say that?” cuts in Dawn.
Willow moves up to her two friends “What’s going on guys and I don’t want to be fobbed off.”
“Dawn had a dream,” said Buffy
“I did not. It was real” snapped dawn folding her arms protectively round herself. Defying Buffy.
“Okay can you stop being so fighty and just explain” said Willow “Dawn please just tell me?”
“Kay, I was lying in bed when I felt something in my room and I knew from the scent it was Tara. She talked to me and told me she was watching over me,” said Dawn.
“As I said Dawn had a nice dream” cuts in Buffy.
“Oh, wait she had a message for Willow…”
“Dawn why are you trying to hurt Willow by making this up?” said Buffy.
“I’m not” said Dawn she moves to Willow and grabs hold of hands “she said she knew the truth and would try and help” Dawn looks deep into Willow’s startled green eyes “she said she loves you very much.”
Willow turns from Dawn not able to take the intensity of the young girl’s message. She turns back “Dawn I believe you and thank you for telling me. Look Buffy I’m going to spend the night at Xander’s. I can’t sleep in that bed by myself. Xander, Anya can we go now I’m really tired.”

Wishing For Darkness
Part 6
NC: 17 (I wasn’t expecting this so I don’t suppose anyone else was too, but I’ve been inspired by Ruth’s fic The Final Exam to do something different so here goes)
“Xander can you go to the house first so I can pick up a few things” said Willow
“Sure” said Xander “whatever you want”
10 minutes later they pull up outside the Summers’ house.
“Anya can you come in and help me. Xander we’ll only be a few minutes. Do you mind waiting in the car?” said Willow.
Xander looks surprised but nods his agreement.
As soon as they are in the house Willow practically flies up the stairs.
Anya follows at a slower pace “Breaking your ankle is not going to help”. She then hears something heavy being flung on the floor. “Willow, Will, is there something up there” she enters the room to see Willow on the bed with her head in her hands.
“Anya it’s not here” said Willow through a veil of tears.
“What?”
“The talisman it’s gone,” said the distraught red head. “It was in my jewellery box but it’s disappeared.
Anya thinks a second “Are you sure that you and Buffy didn’t throw it out when you cleared out all the magic stuff in the house”
“No” said the hacker “to be honest I had forgotten about it. When I originally got it I was worried it might be dangerous so I put it in the false bottom of my box. I don’t know how anyone could know it was there. God I’m screwed.” Willow looks utterly defeated and dejected.
“You’re giving up already? We haven’t got past the first hurdle,” said Anya
“What’s the use? We never going to get her back” said Willow.
Anya decides to take charge “Look lets just grab a few things, you can try to get some sleep and tomorrow we will go to D’Hoffryn’s crypt and call him.”
Willow almost as if she is drugged allows Anya to push and shove her around until they are ready to get in the car but just before she goes she grabs a picture of Tara.
*********************
Xander and Anya’s house
Willow is pretending to sleep on her host’s huge settee but all she is really is doing is holding on to the small picture of Tara and crying her eyes out.
*****************************
Tara walks round the large white room restless, bored. “Willow” she looks at the far wall as it starts to shimmer. Her heart starts to break as she watches her world, her everything lying sobbing her heart out.
*****************************
Willow looks at the picture in her hand “I’m sorry baby but I know I won’t be able to get you back”
*************************
Tara looks at the wall horrified.” Powers or whoever you are I n-need to talk to you”
“What do you want child?”
“I want to go to Willow,” said Tara.
“We have told you that you have only three chances to help your friends. You’ve already used one”
“I know. I can count. I’m not s-stupid. Look Willow is on the verge of giving up and I have to persuade her to keep going and anyway this is my decision and I want to go to her,” said Tara.
**********************
Willow lies awake still crying, “Why did I make that stupid wish?”
“Because you didn’t think it would come true”
“Tara baby, is that really you?” said Willow in amazement.
“I’m here darling,” said Tara
Willow can’t believe it as her senses come alive, she can smell Tara’s unique scent and she can feel something brushing against her body. She looks at the covers as they are pulled back and she can feel an all to familiar presence move to hold her. God it felt so good, she buries her head into Tara’s ample chest.
“Will you can’t give it up baby. I’m relying on you to find me. You said you would always find me,” said Tara.
Tara is surprised at the strong physical reaction she has to lying so close to Willow. She touches Willow’s face and lifts the red head chin and kisses her. Fire meets fire and she can feel the hacker’s sharp teeth bite her lip, she lets out an involuntary groan, feeling the wetness that is already spreading between her legs.
“I wish I could see you Tara, this feels so strange,” said Willow
“Do you need to see me?” questions the blonde
“No” says Willow a mischievous smile spreading across her pretty face “I think I know my way around your body well enough without the visuals, although visuals would be nice”
Willow is then surprised to find herself pinned down by her usually more submissive partner “Ta…” she feels a finger placed against her lips and decides to go with it. She can feel lips on the nape of neck, hands moving up and down her body. Yet she can’t see anything and this only seems to intensify the feelings that Tara’s talented hands are staring to wring from her body. She can feel that the blonde is now sucking on pulse point and one of her hands has hold of Willow’s erect nipple and twists it hard making the red head groan and arch her back.
Tara yanks off Willow’s cotton t-shirt with a real urgency and then moves to her boxer shorts “I have to have you Will, so you wont forget me, do you understand”
The hacker nods her unable to move and aware that at any moment Anya or Xander could walk in and witness this strange scene. Her head is brought back to her body as her lover moves her mouth to her nipples and starts to suck and bite them with a passion that is threatening to consume her. Willow has never felt more alive and wanted in all her short but eventful life. “Tara please fuck me hard, make me feel”
The blonde witch does not a second invitation and is unsurprised to find that Willow is already wet enough to let her enter her with two long elegant fingers. She moves her thumb hard on to her lover’s small but hard bundle of nerves. She fucks Willow slowly moving her fingers in and out of her body at a teasing and tantalising pace. At the same time her beautiful mouth makes its journey downward biting, sucking and kissing Willow’s sensitive skin totally in control of the pale sexy woman that lies beneath her. With one quick movement she replaces her thumb with her mouth, pushes a third finger inside her and rubs her little finger against the puckered skin of Willow’s anus and with one hard thrust enters her most sensitive and tender place.
It takes all of the hacker’s dwindling self-control not scream out loud at this triple attack on her senses. She can feel the growing pressure starting in her groin and knows she can’t hold off the orgasm that is about to rip throw her body and soul.
Tara’s sensitive mouth picks up the pulse coming from the red head’s clit and as her lover comes she sucks Willow following the rhythm and intensifying the feeling until the red head convulsions finally stop. Willow pulls at the unseen body of her lover bring her up level with her head “That was incredible now it’s my turn”
Tara leans into Will and they kiss passionately for a minute then much to her own sadness she pushes Willow from her. “No you can have me only when you find me”
“Tara…”
“It will be your reward, darling, I love you so much but I didn’t come here to make love to you, I came because I have to make sure you wont give up” said Tara. She kisses her love one more time “I have to leave now but I will be able to help you one more time and remember you are my soul mate we should never be apart”
