SEQUAL TO WILLOW GETS A COLD
RETURN OF THE WITCH CHAPTER ONE
Willow, Faith and Dawn have returned home safely after their dimensionally trip to St Louis. They kept the rest of the Scoobies in the dark regarding their out of town trip. Willow has now successfully resurrected Buffy and is planning to research her way back to Asher.

SUNNYDALE 3 WEEKS LATER
“I’m sorry Tara, its over”. Willow whispered softly.
“ITS OVER, just like that its over, after everything. After everything I suffered for you”.
“I’m sorry Tara”, Willow repeated, she couldn’t look at her, too full of guilt and confusion, but this was the correct, the only course of action she could take.
“I lost my mind because of you and your damn Buffy gang”, Tara shrieked and threw her glass unicorn statue, narrowly missing her as it went crashing into the wall behind. Willow shrank back horrified, she had never seen Tara so out of control.
“I loved you, I gave you everything and now you are going to throw it all away over a damn vampire who you will never see again, are you STUPID?”
“I’m sorry Tara, I still care about you but…”, Willow petered out how could she explain something she herself didn’t understand, “I’m sorry so sorry”.
Tara shook her head disbelievingly, she couldn’t accept this, couldn’t accept it was over. Sobbing she grabbed her bag and ran from the room.

For hours Tara wandered the streets, her heart breaking, her thoughts full of hate and revenge. Finally she ended up outside the magic shop, without thinking she entered and encountered Anya in a flap, “Oh Tara, you can assist me, I have to go to the bank to take care of the money, Giles has left everything in a muddle. You can look after the shop until I return, remember no discounts for students and no credit allowed. I must leave now”.
Tara scowled as Anya left in a whirlwind of activity. Glancing up her eyes caught the blackened books on the upper level, dark magic, forbidden magic. She looked away but she could feel the books calling to her whispering, they seemed to beckoning her. She bit her lip till blood welled, No she couldn’t, wouldn’t go there. She thought of Willow and the pain nearly crippled her, without thinking she stepped forward.

Two hours later it was done. She wiped her brow, looking with disgust at her bloodstained hands. She was no where near as powerful as Willow, and the ritual had been difficult and soul consuming, she gazed down at the black onyx crystal, held in her hand feeling the rough sharp edges dig in, but it would be worth it if it worked, worth any price she had to pay if she could get Willow back.

She shut up the shop; it wouldn’t do to piss of Anya, and began the long walk to Buffy’s, Her heart hammering, and her mouth dry with trepidation. She stood on the porch, she wasn’t sure she could do this. The door opened and there stood Willow a quizzical look on her face “Tara what you doing out there?”
Tara shrugged noncommittally, her hopes rising. “Well come on, you loose your keys or something, Buffy’s working and Dawn is having a sleepover at Jane’s”, Willow smiled seductively.
“And?”
“We have the house to ourselves Doofus”, Willow licked her lips suggestively “how do you fancy a bubble bath for two?”
Tara let out the breath she had been holding and smiled slowly, “Dibs on top”.

Later that night Tara crept out the house, Willow was fast asleep and would stay that way for eight hours after drinking a sleeping draught in her wine. Tara clutched the black crystal in her hand tightly. All her dreams, hopes and love were contained in this crystal; if Willow or any of the others ever found out what she had done they would never forgive her. She had to protect it keep it safe, but where. Looking up she spotted the new construction site on the school building, smiling she eased her way through a gap in the chain fence and walked over to the support foundations, spying an old cigar tin she wrapped the crystal in a scarf and then enclosed it in the tin. Carefully she lowered it to the bottom of one of the main support struts, covering it with a loose layer of dust. Tomorrow they would cover it with liquid concrete and her secret would remain safe forever.

6 MONTHS LATER
Tara smiled and stretched luxuriously on the bed, watching as Willow pranced around in her panties singing a Brittany Spears song really badly as she got ready for college. For Tara life couldn’t be better.

Donning her clothes and running a brush through her hair she idly noticed Xander and Buffy having a heart to heart in the garden. Finally they were talking; hopefully they would get their argument out in the open. She hated dissent; all she really wanted was to be left in peace with Willow. Turning around she smiled at Willow and took her hand in hers, it had all been worth it. She opened her mouth to tell Willow she loved her, in the distance she could vaguely here some shouting from the garden but dismissed it as unimportant, “I …” there was a loud bang and Tara felt a sharp pain in her chest, her eyes widened her mouth opened in confusion, Willow had blood all over her, glancing down she saw blood blossoming from her chest before her legs gave way. She didn’t understand what was happening, but she knew she was dying, Willow was sobbing holding her calling out “Baby, baby”. Everything was going dark, but just before the darkness took hold forever, she gazed at her only love, and what she saw there made her cry out in terror for her love and in shame. Willow’s eyes were black as black as onyx crystal. There was always a price to pay, goddess forgive her.

1 YEAR LATER

From beneath it devoured, but now it too was being closed, the tap had been turned off, the gateway closing. As Spike the souled vampire created fissions of pure white light that destroyed all evil. The FIRST roared in rage, but even he could not stop the inevitable. As the Hellmouth began to close, forever, the school and then Sunnydale began to detonate from beneath, nothing would remain standing, nothing would remain intact. However unknown even to the FIRST, in the very concrete of the schools foundations laid an old forgotten cigar tin.

Suddenly Sunnydale imploded it was the only way to describe it. It felt like a veil had been lifted from her mind. Willow gasped as air whooshed from her body, her mind reeling from the sudden rush of memories and magic. She glanced over first at Dawn then at Faith who was tending one of the wounded slayers; they were both shaking their heads and looking slightly confused.

Oh god what had she done, how could she forget, … ‘oh Tara how could you’, she whispered to herself as understanding finally came. “Oh Asher how could I forget you”. The bus suddenly swerved trying to avoid large blocks of rubble crashing down, until finally Xander came to a screeching halt.

Her euphoria now gone, she numbly followed Buffy and the gang as they clambered out of the bus to survey the ruins of the once proud Sunnydale.
“What shall we do now Buffy”, one of the slayerettes asked, “Yes what”. Willow ignored them, kneeling down she began to retch in the sand there wasn’t much to bring up; she had been so nervous the night before she hadn’t eaten.

“Hey Willow, you ok there buddy”, Xander’s warm hands came around her as he knelt beside her in the sand. Buffy undid her hair band and pulled Willow’s hair away from face. “Get some water”, she shouted. Willow was only vaguely aware as they washed her face and then made her slip some water. Their faces strained and concerned.

“I’m ok now, I’m ok”. Willow sighed and closed her eyes, tears running down her face – ‘Oh god Tara how could you’

“I’m going back, I have to go back to him”, Willow cried.

Buffy was confused, “Back to Sunnydale? Back to the FIRST? There’s nothing there Willow… maybe you have a fever from all of that magic”, she felt Willows brow.
“NO you don’t understand back to St Louis back to Asher”, Willow turned in Xander’s arms and began to sob against his ever-faithful shoulder.
Buffy and Xander exchanged confused looks “Who is Asher and when did you go to St Louis?”

“I know whom she means”, Faith stated quietly her face pale and blood streaked. Dawn got to her knees beside Willow and cried with her “I remember too now Willow, its not your fault, we all forgot”.

“But how could she do this to me, she said she loved me, but that wasn’t love, it drove me crazy, all this time I could feel something some link, I had dreams of running after a figure but they were so far away I could never reach them, I thought it was Tara. How could she do this to me - none of it makes sense”.

Dawn had no answer.

“Ok would somebody please tell me what’s happening?”

SEVERAL HOURS LATER

“So let me get this right, in order to raise Buffy you started practicing old Wiccan magic Transportation spells, which incidentally you told none of us about. Which went wrong - big surprise there when you attempted to use a Poonung Demon as a sacrifice and another demon tried to eat you. You then ended up in an alternate dimension with MY sister where Vampires and demons are rife and have citizenship”.

“Err yes that about sums it up”, agreed Faith looking slightly wary.

“Willow, Faith …My SISTER?”

“ Hey standing right here”, said Dawn angrily “It was my choice to help I forced them to, I had to help it was my entire fault that you died in the first place”.

Buffy rubbed her temples “I give up Giles?”

“Err well, Yes err …I think we should maybe take a balanced look upon this it, Yes Tara died, Willow tried to end the world, the first evil was activated … but it all ended up rather well, in a strange round about sort of way”.

“People died Giles, good people”.

“I know Xander that’s another reason why I have to leave this place”. Willow spoke softly.

“Hey no that is unfair, we all did the spell together we each take our own portion of blame. But the other deaths - no I’m sorry I know you are hurting Xander, but this isn’t a game, we saved the world again and people die, that’s a fact and Anya had more blood on her hands than any of us and in then end she atoned”. Faith spoke bluntly her hand resting on Willow’s hunched shoulders.

Xander looked away, his eyes misting, his teeth clenched with rage, “And we are going to make this all ok by letting Willow go off alone to some weird dimension to play lovey with some power mad blood sucking vamp”.

“Hey”, shouted Willow angrily

“No way you are not going Willow, I can’t…”

“You cannot STOP me Xander”, Willow finally looked up, and Xander stopped mid tirade - her eyes were starting to turn black.

“I can’t loose you too”, Xander finished.
“I have to go, I am sorry I have to leave”.
“She’s not going alone, I’m going with her,” Faith added.

Willow looked in astonishment at her friend, “No Faith I can’t let you ruin your life”.

“Hey less talk of the ruining, look its for the best. If I stay I am just another convict on the run, I will spend the rest of my life looking over my shoulder and if the watcher’s council ever reforms I will be looking over my other shoulder too. No I am finished here I have done my part I want a new start a fresh start, besides”, added Faith with a shrug “there was some interesting people there, and it was my kind of place”.

“This is really happening, you are really leaving”
Willow pursed her lips and nodded. Xander shook his head and stormed out the bus slamming the door behind him.
“When?” asked Giles
“Tonight, it will take me a few hours to prepare this spell, and midnight is the best time”.
“Great time to get some serious shopping done, you up for it B?”
“Yeah sure”, replied Buffy offhandedly “I’ll talk to Xander, he just needs some time Willow”.
“I know he’s lost Anya, and now I am going too”.
“Ohhhhh my gawd…we could have a leaving party” Dawn jumped and down “I’m on it, leave it with me”.
“Great”

MIDNIGHT

Willow, Buffy, Giles and Xander stood holding hands. They had all been crying.
“This is really it, we’ll never see you again”.
Willow sighed, “I have to go, he’s my centre now, I need him, you don’t know how hard it has been this past year, every day is a struggle, every day is another mountain to climb, and I am so scared that one day I won’t be able to, and I don’t want to hurt my friends. I need him as much as he might need me, I need him more”.

“I know Willow I’m so sorry I wasn’t there when you needed me”.

“You were then when it counted… I love you guys, I will always love you. But I have to do this”. She took a deep breath and in turn they all hugged her. Everybody openly crying now, even Giles was rubbing is eyes and wiping his glasses.

“Lets do this now”.

They all walked as one back into the makeshift campsite where the others waited. They had already said their long goodbyes and there was not a dry eye in the house.

“Travelling light I see”, quipped Xander trying to lighten the mood. 3 massive suitcases surrounded Faith.
“Hey, I’m going away for ever, besides opened up 10 shop accounts and maxxed them out, if I am going to be a convict here must as well add larceny to the list and its not like they can follow me where I go”.

“Cool”, comment Dawn approvingly “thanks for the bracelet”
“No problem shrimp”.
“Ready Wills?”
“Here”, Buffy handed the scythe to Faith “I have a feeling you will need this more than we will.”
“This is for you Willow”, it’s a limited edition white magic Wicca book should help for those difficult moments”, Giles hugged her and stepped back with the others.

“Lets do this and Xander – Never is a long time!”

Ten minutes later after chanting, smoke and strange lights a portal appeared and with a final wave they both stepped into it. A second later the portal and the two girls had both disappeared.
