Vengeance is hers
Willow sat in the middle of her bedroom with the curtains drawn and candles strategically placed and lit around the room with a map of Sunnydale spread out in front of her, ready for the locator spell. As she chanted the incantation blue lights started to come off of her hands, and then as if the light was focused though magnifying glass it point to a single spot on the map. As Willow started to read the map she heard a big commotion coming from downstairs.
As the gang watched the retreating form of the redhead there was a knock at the door. Buffy got up and opened the door, “Hey B.”
With those two words Buffy punched Faith and watched her fall off the porch onto the front lawn. “What the hell B, I only came to help get reds girl.”
When Faith turned to look at Buffy she found the rest of the Scooby gang (minus Willow ) standing behind Buffy, at the mention of Tara’s name Xander stepped forwarded and spat out “How the hell do you know about Tara?”, just then Buffy decided to ask the other question she knew everyone wanted a answer to “And why aren’t you behind bars where you belong?”
With that comment Faiths head fell in what can only be described as a defeated poses. I told Angel this would be useless, I should have stayed in LA with that thought going though her mind she turned around to walk away when she felt someone’s hand rest on her shoulder. Faith slowly turned around and lifted her head to find herself staring right into Willows face.
Once Willow got downstairs she heard Xander mention Tara and peaked around them to see Faith standing on the front lawn. Right away she felt her anger towards the other girl rise instantly that she did not even hear the comment Buffy had made, but once she saw Faiths head fall it remained her of times Tara used to do it as a sign of submission and defeat, and from that moment she realised Faith had changed a lot over the last three years, and with that she let all the anger she had towards this girl just melt away. The next thing she knew she was pushing past the rest of the Scoobies to stop Faith from leaving, and leading a shocked Faith into the house past a equally shocked Scooby gang.
Once everyone had finally gotten over the shock of Willows actions they all sat in the lounge to have a chat to Faith, “Well Faith you still haven’t answered the questions thrown at you before, why aren’t you behind bars? And what do you know of Tara?”
With that Faith looked up to see everyone staring at her in anticipation of the answer “Well to answer your question first B, I was let out on parole six months ago for good behaviour and …” “you good behaviour, who’d you bribe Faith?” When Buffy saw the look her best friend was giving her and the look of pain on Faiths face she said the only thing she could “Sorry, go on I’ll shut up now.” “ So I was let out on parole and I have been staying with Angel ever since .” “ Well that answers the first question, but how did you know about Tara?” Willow asked.
“Well see about two days ago I had this dream…, well I think it was a dream. Anyway this blond lady with the most perching blue eyes came to my room and told me her daughter and her daughter’s girlfriend was in big troubled and needed my help. When I ask who, she just said I needed to get to Sunnydale and find Willow before it was to late. Well next thing you know I’m on my way back to good old SunnyD.”
The gang all sat there staring at Faith why they tried to comprehend what she was saying. As if snapped out of a dazes Willow remembered the locater spell she had done before all this happened “Ah guys, I know where to find Tara.” “What? How? Where?” was the only intelligent thing Buffy thought to say at that point in time. “Well I did a locator spell and found where they were keeping her.”
To everyone’s surprise it was Spike who made the first move “ Well let’s get weapons all round and hit the road” with that the rest of the group got moving.
About twenty minuets later the group found themselves standing in front of an old Victorian style house. As the group stood by the side of the road it was Faith who decided to put a voice to the question no one else wanted to, “Well what now B?”
Buffy look at each one of them in turn the made up her mind “ok lets brake down the door and search room to room till we find her and then we make the people who did this suffer.” With that Buffy walked up to the front of the house and broke the door down, and in the process knocking down the two guards who stood watch. With that done the rest of the gang filed in after Buffy.
“Lets all spread out in groups of two. Spike you go with Faith, Anya and Xander together, Will your with me, check each room properly.” With that the group went their different way.
Clair was in Tara’s room waiting for her to get out of the bath room when all of a sudden she hear a loud noise coming from the front of the house, but just as she was going to check it out Tara came out.
As Tara walked out of the bathroom she saw Clair sitting at the end of her bed, “C-Clair, what are you doing hear?” “Well I thought I would see how you were doing after the other night.” All Tara could do was to stand there and say nothing God I wish Willow was here, she would know what to do and say. With that thought Tara sat in a chair without saying a word.
Willow and Buffy started to move to the back of the house checking each room as they went; as they got to the last room they saw two guards asleep. Just then they hared a noise coming from the room with the guards, Buffy pushed Willow back into the last room they checked and peaked around the corner to find out what is going on. As Buffy watched the door she saw the same brunette girl from a few days earlier come out of the door, she watched the girl turn round and say something her slayer hearing could not pick up. Then she watched the girl close and lock the door.
As Clair watched Tara watching her she said, “Well it’s time I should be going, got stuff to set up for tomorrow night.” With that she stood up and walked over to the door and opened it, just then she turned around and said, “Now don’t go getting any ideas about leaving or doing a spell cos it won’t work.” With that said Clair turned around and walked out of the room shutting and locking the door behind her leaving Tara all by herself to contemplate her future.
Buffy watched the girl wake up the two guards and saw them sluggishly come to life and then she saw the girl walk up towards the front of the house. Buffy saw this as her change to see what was behind the locked door. “Ok, Will on my signal we are going to rush the two guards and find out what is behind the door.” With that Buffy came out of the room she was in and headed for the first guard that looked like he would be the hardest to take down and left the smaller one for Willow to deal with.
Once the guard were taken care of and flat on their backs, Buffy and Willow both stood back and stared at the locked door in front “well should we go in or stand out here all day?” “I don’t know if I can go in Buffy, what if she isn’t in there? I don’t think I could handle it” “You’ll never know if you don’t go in there” after that was said Buffy raised her leg and kicked the door open.
Tara was still sitting in the chair that Clair left her in, when she started to hear noises coming from outside the bedroom door, all of a sudden the noises stop and just when she was getting comfortable the door came flying off its hinges and came to rest at Tara’s feet. When she looked up she found herself staring into the emerald eyes of her Willow.
As soon as Buffy kicked the door in Willow thought she had prepared herself for what she might find, but nothing could prepare her for the sight before her. All Willow could do was stand in the door way and stair at the angel in front of her.
When Buffy realised that Willow was not going to go in she decide to take the initiative and go in first, that was when she saw Tara standing on the other side of the room.
“Hi Buffy” was all Tara could think of saying at that point in time. “H-hi, I think.” Buffy was now totally confused, she thought they were just going to find Tara’s dead body and put it back where it belonged, not find her alive. This whole time Willow was just standing on the threshold of the room trying to will herself to move or say something God why can’t I just say or do anything
Tara stood still watching the reaction of both Buffy and Willow wondering what either girl would do, when she realised she would have to take the first step she took some couscous steps towards the one thing in her life that ever made any sense Willow.
When Willow saw Tara move towards her very slow she felt all her senses go into overdrive, and felt the floor rush up towards her.
