Chapter 13
Anya
pulled Giles up to the upper level so that they stood on large platform looking
out on Midian. “See over there” Anya
pointed to the far side of town “that’s my home” She turned and wrapped her
arms around his neck “Do you wanna go check it out?” she smiled up at him
seductively.
“Do we
have time?”
“There’s always
time for orgasms” said Anya placing a soft kiss on his lips. She pulled him towards the edge of the
platform.
“Anya
dear, I can’t fly or teleport as the case may be” Giles peered over the side
gauging how far it was to the ground.
Anya
laughed before turning back towards the door that led inside “Willow! Tara!” she
waited for the Wicca’s to emerge “You’re going to love this” Turning back to
the edge Anya stood patiently, the others moved forward curiously. Then they saw it. The mammoth branches were shifting, their
leaves forming a path that led towards Anya’s home. She stepped up onto the path and bounced
lightly “See perfectly safe.”
Anya held
her hand out to Giles as he stepped up beside her “it seems quite firm” he
turned to look towards the end of the path “It doesn’t seem to reach far enough
though.”
“By the
time we reach the end of the path it will have extended” Anya laughed at the
skeptical expression on his face, she reached up to softly caress the side of
his face “Just keep telling yourself Rupie, Enchanted forest, lots of magic,
anything is possible.”
Anya
began to walk forward, when she stopped and turned back to walk to Tara and
whisper in her ear. Tara smiled
up at her before Anya grabbed Giles by the hand and pulled him along.
Anya
moved faster and faster until they were almost running “Come on Rupert lets see
if we can beat the tree’s to the end”
Giles was
dubious at the thought of actually trying to reach the edge of the path before
more was formed. Actually it was more
the thought of being unable to stop at the edge and plummeting to the ground
that disturbed him more. He reassured
himself with what Anya had told him ‘Enchanted forest’ he put on a burst
of speed to reach Anya’s side ‘lots of magic’ Giles reached out to clasp
her hand ‘anything is possible’.
The
couple flew across the path, towards the end the leaves were just moving into
place as their feet touched down. The
couple could see their destination and leapt the final distance, tumbling onto
the platform in a tangle of limbs.
“I don’t
believe I’ve done something like that since I was a child” Giles smiled at Anya
as she trailed a finger across his face.
“You were
a child?” Anya teased “I though watchers were born fully grown and dressed in
tweed.”
“That
wasn’t very nice” Giles complained as Anya twisted away from and moved inside.
“Well you
better come inside and spank me then”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Tara and Willow watched as
Giles had run after Anya like a teenager.
Curiosity finally got the better of Willow “What
did Anya say?”
Tara smiled
“It’s a secret” she stepped up onto the path “let’s explore”.
Willow looked
at her puzzled; Tara was giving her a
secretive smile that suggested that she was going to find out what Anya had
whispered soon enough.
Tara wrapped
her arm around Willow’s waist
and the couple began to stroll down the path.
Willow noticed
that it was now turning to lead them to a thickly wooded area; she also
realized that they were moving higher into the canopy of the forest.
The pair
gasped as they broke through the top of the canopy, all around them was a sea
of green, the forest stretched out as far as the eye could see. A little way from them was one tree that
reached higher than the others; a light glow seemed to emanate from it.
The girls
moved towards the tree stopping at the entrance, Tara turned
to face Willow “Anya
said that this is the heart of the forest, the place where the Magic is at its purest.” She took a firm grip on Willow’s hand
and they stepped inside together.
Willow felt as
if the air had been knocked out of her, she could almost see the magic swirling
around and through them. Then she
noticed Tara “Sweetie” she moved forward reaching a hand out towards her “Your
glowing”
Tara was
bathed in a soft pink light, her whole being seemed to pulse with love and
compassion. “This is a place of healing
and renewal” She brushed a finger down Willow’s
cheek. “What you did when you abused
your magic, when you used it to change me to your liking” Tara pressed
her hand to her chest “It broke something deep inside me.”
Willow felt a
tear escape and run down her face.
“I know
that you’ve been working to fix what has been broken, so have I” Tara graced Willow with
another gentle smile “This place” she motioned around them “This place can heal
us. Here we can wipe away past slight’s
and sins”
Willow winced
at that phrase and she opened her mouth to tell Tara that she
was willing to do the hard work to get her back completely.
Tara stopped
her protests with a kiss before she drew back again “I know that you’re willing
to work on us. This isn’t a shortcut,
this is something different. The power contained here can heal us through our
love, and I do love you Willow, I never
stopped.”
Tears
were streaming down Willow’s face
now, she felt a heat start to form inside her and she looked down in surprise
noticing a pale purplish color beginning to surround her.
Tara toke a
step towards Willow once
again and lifted her hands palms facing towards her. Willow mirrored
her actions and the girls watched in wonder as tiny tendrils of color reached
out to each other, as their palms touched the colors surrounding them shot
upwards, a dance of pink and purple. The
colors twisted their way through each other before moving back down to encircle
the two. During this time apologies were
made, forgiveness given, neither girl uttered a sound; they merely lost
themselves to each other. Magical gifts
merged as their essences became one rebuilding and strengthening their love.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Spike was
reclining on the sofa grumbling about the lack of telly when Rebecca came to
stand in front of him.
“I’m going
to show Dawn around.” She leant down to kiss him before pulling back slightly
to look him in the eyes “Maybe you should go see what Buffy’s doing.” She gave him another quick kiss as Dawn
entered “Come on Dawn there used to be a little shop that sold tiny figurines
made out of spun honey, I want to see if it’s still here”
“Oh
Candy!” Dawn exclaimed in delight as the two left.
Spike
stared at the door for a few minutes before extending his senses to search out
Buffy. He heard her faint heartbeat coming
from one of the upper levels. Spike had
learnt long ago; back when he was William in fact, that if his wife told him to
do something there was always a reason behind it. Rebecca had an uncanny ability to read people
and if she said that he needed to go see Buffy then he needed to go see
Buffy. Spike sighed as he made his way
to the upper levels to find her.
Spike
stopped just outside the room Buffy had chosen and watched her for a few
moments. She was stretched out on a
small bed covered in what looked like flower petals, sunlight streamed through
a small window bathing her in its warmth.
Spike inhaled deeply as the scent of vanilla drifted up to meet
him. Buffy turned slightly to look at
him “Spike”
“Hello
luv” he moved into the room slightly “Am I interrupting?”
“No I’m
just enjoying the sunshine” Buffy started looking around for something to cover
the window, then she noticed that leaves were shifting into place across the
opening.
Spike
chuckled at her look of surprise “They do that everywhere I go in this place.”
“Well
that’s convenient”
“I’ll
say, I don’t have to worry about walking into any stray sunbeams” Spike moved
to sit on the edge of the bed when he suddenly yelped and sprang across the
room “BLOODY HELL!”
Buffy was
now in a fit of giggles as she watched Spike leap up as if he’d been bitten
“The furniture changes to meet our needs, remember.”
Spike
eyed the bed warily as he once again sat down, grimacing slightly as he felt it
shit beneath him “It’s not natural” he complained.
Buffy
burst into another fit of giggles “Not natural.
Not natural” she was practically rolling on the bed in laughter “It’s a
living tree and it’s not natural”
“Ok ok
it’s not that funny slayer.”
Buffy finally
controlled her laughter; she lay on her side and studied Spike for a moment
before coming to a decision. Buffy sat
up and faced him “I told the others”
“Told
them what luv?”
“About
us”
“What
about us?” Spike began to carefully study the tip of his boot, unwilling to
look at Buffy, afraid of what she was going to say.
“I told
them that I had been using you for sex.”
Buffy decided that a direct approach was the best approach. “I also made sure that they knew that it was
me that taking advantage of you, not the other way around.”
“So
there’ll be no stakes in the back then?” Spike tried to make light of the
situation, unsure of where Buffy was headed with this conversation.
Buffy
smiled wryly “No. No stakes. Told them
it was all me” she looked down at her hands uncertain of how to continue. “There’s something I need to tell you”
Spike
turned to look at her waiting for her to finish.
Buffy
brought her hands up to cup his face “I love you Spike”
Spike
took a sharp breathe and tried to pull away from her.
“No don’t
go” Buffy gently pulled him back around to face her “I’m sorry that I didn’t
tell you sooner. I’m sorry that it took
seeing you with Rebecca to realize that I did.”
Buffy placed her hands on top of Spike’s and took a deep breathe “I know
that you love Rebecca and that you will be faithful to her. That’s not what this is about.”
Spike
wrestled for control of his emotions, there was joy that Buffy had finally told
him that she loved him, sadness that it had taken her so long. Part of him was
angry that it had taken seeing him happy with someone else to get her to admit
her feelings for him and there was also pain that they could not act on that
love now.
Buffy
watched the emotions wash across his face “I’m sorry that it has taken me so
long to tell you.” She sighed with
relief that Spike hadn’t walked out on her yet.
“There
was always something different about you, right from the start.” Buffy smiled
in memory “I always had the feeling that there was more to you. That I was supposed to look deeper. Maybe that was Rebecca trying to get me to
notice you.”
Spike
looked down at his hands “So you think that everything you felt was because of
Rebecca?”
“No that’s
not what I mean.” Buffy was starting to get frustrated “I’m trying to be honest
with you, please just let me get this out.”
Spike
nodded and waited for her to continue.
“Before I
died things were starting to change, I think you felt that.” Buffy waited for him to look at her once
again “When you told me that you loved me, you remember, with the chains.”
“Yeah
sorry about that luv.”
“That’s
in the past Spike, over and done. Do you
remember that I told you that there was no chance?” Buffy started to fidget “well, the problem
was, I wasn’t so sure about that. A big
part of me wanted what you were offering me, but I let my fear and stupid
ideals squash that down.”
Buffy
stood and began to pace “I could see you changing and there was this part of me
screaming out for you. The night that we
fought Glory” Spike recoiled slightly at this reminder “I think if I hadn’t
d thd that night things would have progressed differently. I think that we may have ended up in a lot
healthier place.”
Buffy sat
back down beside him leaning against Spikes side lightly ‘When I came back, it
felt like there was a big part of me missing and as it turns out there was.”
Buffy lay her head on his shoulder “the only time I felt whole was when I was
with you, and it scared me. I kept
fighting it thinking that there was something wrong with me because what I was
feeling for you was so strong, it overshadowed anything that I’d ever felt
before.” She waited for the significance
of this to sink in. “Do you know what I
thought when I found out that Rebecca was the missing part of me.”
Spike
shook his head slowly.
“I
thought that the only reason that you wanted to be with me in the first place
was because of Rebecca.”
Spike was
silent for a few minutes before he answered her “That’s not it pet. Maybe it’s what stopped me from killing you
in the first place, but it’s not what made me love you.” He tenderly tucked a stray hair behind her
ear. “It’s still inside me, the feelings
I have for you. I don’t think they’ll
ever go away and I don’t want them to.”
“But?”
“I love
‘Becca” Spike tried to find the words to explain “She holds a piece of me that
can never be given to anyone else.”
“First
love?” Buffy gave a fleeting thought to Angel.
“Yeah” Spike
wrapped an arm around Buffy’s shoulder. “What I feel for the two of you, it’s
almost like it’s the same thing. It’s
hard to separate the two sometimes. But
I made a decision and I think it’s the right one.”
Buffy
pulled him into a hug “I know it’s the right one.”
Spike
pulled back in surprise at her statement.
“I know
you said that ex-lovers can never be friends, and you were right.” Buffy pulled
him forward once again “But you are so much more than a friend and I want you
to be happy. Rebecca does that you
know.” Buffy reluctantly let him go “She
makes you happy.”
“So where
does that leave us pet?” Spike was
amazed at everything that she had said to him.
“It
leaves us with Buffy loves Spike and Spike loves Buffy.” Buffy gave him a loving kiss “And one day
they might actually get a chance to be together again.”
“But?”
“But
until then Spike loves Rebecca and Rebecca loves Spike and they are together
now. So Buffy is pleased that the person
she loves has someone that loves him the way he deserves.” Buffy flopped back on the bed “Ok I think I
just broke my brain.”
Spike
flopped back with her “I think I know what you mean pet.”
