Secrets Are Told And People Are Pissed
Previously:
"Did I say that out loud?" Willow asked hesitantly, but before any of the guys could answer Spike was tackled from the side by a huge red demon.
And Now The Continuation:
As Spike hit the ground another three red demons appeared, only these ones were heading for Darren and Willow. Darren got into a fighting stance while stepping in front of Willow to protect her. Just as one of the demons charged for them a roar came from Spike right before the demon that had tackled him was thrown off, colliding with the charging one.
Standing up Spike revealed his game face as he roared again before tackling one of the still standing demons. Willow stood frozen unsure what to do, she was about to ask Darren when she heard him mumble "Here goes nothing." Before pulling out a dagger from his shoe and charging at one of the demon's that was attempting to swipe Spike.
She wanted to watch Spike and Darren so she could make sure they wouldn't get hurt but out of the corner of her eye she saw the other two demons run at her. Turning around she pushed some power from here hands, hoping to push them back enough for her to think of abetter plan but instead she made there necks snap killing them before flinging there dead bodies through the air.
Her eyes widened as she looked down at her hands, stunned at the amount of power she accidentally pushed out. She kept staring at her hands unable to fathom the fact that the little power she had pushed out had killed the demons. She was brought from her thoughts when Darren shook her shoulder while calling her name. Looking up at him it took a few seconds for her to see him. He had a cut on his forehead, his shirt was a little ripped with a few blood stains and he still clutched the dagger in his hand.
She opened her mouth to tell him she was alright but before she could she was spun around into the arms of Spike who practically squished her to him in a hug. She smiled into it for a moment before trying to pull back but he wasn't letting her. Wriggling her face away from his shirt she squeaked out "Air, becoming an issue." Quickly loosening his grip he said "You okay Red?"
She gave a small nod before looking at the two demons Spike and Darren had successfully killed. Snuggling into the safe feeling that was Spike she said "You should probably get rid of the bodies or people will start freaking." Spike didn't say anything but Darren said "Sure, ummm how though?" Sighing she pulled away from Spike before saying "If we can carry them to where the other two are that should be fine."
Darren nodded before saying "Where are the other two?" Bitting her lip Willow pointed in the direction they had flown. "Did they run?" Spike asked, speaking for the first time since the attack. Willow shook her head before saying "Umm no they ummm well I accidentally made them umm fly over there." Spike and Darren both blinked before Spike said "Are they alive?"
Letting her eyes drop to her hands she said "I snapped there necks." Looking back up into there stunned faces she hastily said "I didn't mean to! I just pushed out some power but it turned out I had too much and they…..died" When she finished there was silence but breaking it Darren whistled before saying "Damn Red that prophecy must like increase your Wicca power."
She nodded before saying "Yeah and I'm guessing those demons were probably trying to assassinate me in order to stop it." Spike's face hardened when he heard her theory before saying "Well then we better get back to your place before more come." Darren nodded before helping Spike grab one of the dead demons. Following behind Willow levitated the other one.
After placing them with the other demons they headed for Willow's house with more speed and caution then before. When they reached the house free of further battles they breathed a collective sigh of relief before hurrying inside. Shutting the door Willow headed for the living room with Spike and Darren closely following behind.
Entering the room they found Xander, Anya, Tony and Tara all flicking through books and chatting. When they entered the room everyone turned to look at them. Xander's was the first person to speak "What the hell is chip-y the vampire doing here?" Spike growled but before he could do more Anya stood up and walked over to Darren before pulling him into an armchair and saying "What happened? Why are you hurt?" Flicking her eyes to Xander she continued "You know where Willow's first aid kit is don't you?" He nodded slowly. Frowning Anya said "So go get it!" He instantly obeyed.
When he returned Anya had pulled of Darren's shirt and was looking him over for injury much to Darren's embarrassment. "I'm okay, it's not that bad." He tried to discourage her but she was having none of it. Grabbing the first aid kit from Xander's outstretched hand she started wiping away the blood and bandaging his wounds. When she was done she stood up and turning to Willow said "So what happened?"
Sighing Willow walked over to one of the free armchairs before flopping down and saying "We were attacked by four demons that we're guessing wanted to stop the prophecy by killing me." Everyone was silent. Looking up Willow meet everyone's concerned faces. Sighing again she said "Lets' try and finds the next parts of the prophecy so then we can get this over with and stop worrying okay?"
They all nodded and sat back down. When Spike sat down in one of the armchairs Xander frowned before saying "Why is he still here?" Looking up Willow looked between Xander and Spike before saying "He saw Darren and me taking a book from Giles's apartment so we then had to tell him and now he's helping." Xander blinked. "Why did you take a book?"
Grinning Darren said "I found another entry to the prophecy so I grabbed the book and the other parts of the books set since there might be more of the prophecy written in the set" Speaking up for the first time Tony said "That's great, but where are the books?" Darren's eyes widened, turning to Willow he said "Did we leave them on the ground after the attack?" Willow nodded before groaning. "Well that's just great, isn't it?"
Smirking Spike said "You're all very lucky you have me here." Everyone turned and looked at him. "Why's that?" Xander asked annoyed at his mere presence. Flicking his eyes to Xander he said "Cause Xapper, I pick up fallen books." He then proceeded to pull out all the books Darren and Willow had taken from Giles's place out of his duster.
Placing them on the table he said "Well go on, do your Scooby type thing." Leaning back in his armchair he pulled out a cigarette before proceeding to light it. Rolling her eyes Willow sifted through the books before she came to the one that Darren had found part of the prophecy in. Grabbing her notebook she wrote the next part down below Tara's. When she was done she grabbed a book and started reading, muffling a yawn with the back of her hand, she could tell this would be a long night.
(Two hour Time Skip…why? Cause it would take forever to write the two hours, plus you'd fall asleep i.e. it would be boring!)
After nearly two hours of researching they finally only needed one more part of the prophecy for all the information to be completed. The part they needed was Anya's. Groaning Xander said "So we only need one more right?" Willow nodded without taking her eyes form the book she was skimming. Xander was about to go back to his reading when Spike said "Hey Red, What's Demon girl's alias?"
Again not looking away form the book she said "The Bringer of Order, why?" He smirked before saying "Cause I found her bit." Her head snapped around to look at Spike who was holding the book out to her. Grabbing it she skimmed the paragraph before smiling. Looking up at the hopeful eyes of her fellow researchers she said "Yep he found it."
They all smiled. Closing his book with a snap Xander said "Yes! The research is over" Nodding Willow said "Yeah, now all we have to do is summon the god so we'll know what to do." A few groans followed that making Willow frown before saying "You don't want the world to be destroyed do you?" When she didn't get an answer she repeated the question "Do you?" This time a series of 'No's' were there reply.
"Okay well Talisin said that if we use our titles to call a god one will come." Tony blinked "So what were all those prophecy things we just found for?" She shrugged "There used during the battle I guess." Ignoring the groans that followed her revelations she said "Give me a few moments to make up a spell." Grinning Xander stood up and said "I'm hungry anyone want to join me in the kitchen for some food?" Within seconds the lounge room was empty aside from Willow.
After about 10 minutes they all filed back into the lounge room. Just as they had sat down Willow dropped her pencil and looked up with a smile. "I've got the spell." Matching her grin Anya said "Let's here it." Smiling Willow said
The words of the wise we have searched and have found
We now need your voices to lead us and sound
Our hearts and our minds have come and united
Our future, we believe is here and is sighted
So please bring forth knowledge and many a spell
To help bring humanity form the gates of this hell
When she finished reading it she looked up into everyone's shocked faces. Blinking she said "What?" but before any of the Scoobies could answer a new voice said "Nice spell, and to think you didn't even mean to summon me yet." It was followed by a small giggle. Turning around Willow looked at a teenager who was wearing a midnight blue singlet and black short shorts. She waved at Willow before saying "Hi, I'm the goddess Cerridwen but you can call me Cherry."
Everyone was stunned. Darren was the first person to say something. "How do you get Cherry from Cerridwen?" Turning to Darren she titled her head in thought before saying "Don't know, but I like being called Cherry." Darren just nodded. Smiling Cherry turned back to Willow and said "You're the Wiccan Willow. It's nice to meet you since I've been writing about you for goodness knows how long." She then held out her hand for Willow to shake.
Not knowing what else to do Willow shook it. When they let go Willow asked "Umm so what are you suppose to tell us?" Cherry frowned before seemingly changing her whole demeanour, she was no longer a silly little teenager; she now looked like the god that had been written about. "I'm here to tell you where and when you will need to fulfil the prophecy." Everyone nodded not wanting to interrupt.
Continuing Cherry said "You must go into the Gardenlay Forest's right outside of town tomorrow, an hour after sunset." Looking around the room she gave a small smile that had age behind it "I bid thee luck, for this prophecy is made by a god who was against the survival of human kind, you will need all the luck and strength you can get." Looking directly at Willow she said 'Farewell' before disappearing in a flash of light.
After a few moments silence they all looked at each other before simultaneously saying "We need to tell the others." Walking towards the phone Willow said "I'll call Buffy." Pulling out her cell phone Anya said "And I'll call Giles." Everyone else nodded while starting to clean up the mess the research had made. Heading over to the phone Willow typed in Buffy's home number. After a few rings Joyce Summers picked up.
"Hello Ms Summers, I was wondering if Buffy was there please." Willow could hear the smile over the line. "Of course Willow, actually she just came in with Riley, I'll put her on now."
"Thanks." A few moments later Buffy answered "Hey Wills what's up?" Taking a mental deep breath she said "Something's come up regarding the prophecy can you and Riley come to my house for an emergency meeting?" She could feel Buffy tense as she said "We'll be there right away" Before hanging up. Holding in a sigh Willow placed the phone back in the cradle before heading back into the lounge.
When she entered the lounge it was spotless apart from her notepad. Sitting down in her armchair she looked at everyone's face. Apart from Spike who seemed unfazed everyone was nervous. Turning to Anya she said "Is Giles's coming?" Anya nodded "Yeah, he said he's be right over." She nodded before falling silent as she waited for the yelling that would undoubtable follow there confession.
After what felt like hours there was a knock at the door. She was about to stand up when the door opened and closed right before Buffy, Riley and Giles all appeared in the living room doorway. Giving a small smile Willow said "Hi guys glad you could get here so fast." The three of them nodded before Buffy said "What's so urgent Wills?" Taking a deep breath Willow said "We ummm haven't exactly been forth coming about what we know regarding the prophecy."
Wiping his glasses Giles's said "What do you mean." Looking at the others she smiled at the support they were giving her. Turning to look at Spike he gave her a small smile which made everything fell easier. Turning back to the three in the doorway she sat up straighter before proceeding to tell them everything starting from parchment she had found after Taliesin had unstuck her and Spike, the powers she had and everything leading up to when Cherry had given the information about the prophecy.
When she finished she bit her bottom lip waiting for there reaction. It only took a few seconds before Buffy yelled "How could you do that!?! How could you leave us out?" She gave a helpless look "I didn't want you guys getting hurt, I was planing on telling anyone but then these guys were needed and Spike accidentally found out, I was only trying to protect you guys."
Riley frowned before saying "I guess that makes sense, but I know where Buffy's coming from we fill left out." Standing up Willow looked at Rilley before saying "I didn't mean for you to fill like that. I thought I was doing the best thing, it would kill me if anything happened to the people I love." Willow's eyes were become damp but before the tears could escape Giles said "I understand what you did Willow and I would have done the same thing if given the chance."
He gave her a smile. She gave him a wobbly one back. Looking at Riley and Buffy she got a small smile from Riley but before he could say anything Buffy looked up at her with an angry face "Why didn't you tell me Willow? I'm the slayer I could handle this!" Standing up next to Willow Anya said "No you can't this is a prophecy for witches to stop not slayers, if it was meant for you ti would have said something."
Crossing her arms Buffy said "And what would you know? From what I heard you don't even know much magic, you just sit in her shadow." Anya glared but before she could say anything Xander stood up and said "Hey that's not very nice." Followed by Willow angrily saying "You have no idea how much magic Anya has, she's more powerful then you are that's for sure."
Buffy clenched her teeth before saying "Oh and this is coming form you? Some back stabbing friend who lies and doesn't even help us fight evil with all this magic power she's suppose to have, how do we know you not evil?" As soon as it came out of Buffy's mouth you knew she regretted it, but before she could say sorry Willow's eyes had turned black and her hair had streaked sapphire. Everyone's eyes widened and slight fear entered them as lighting crackled around the furious form of Willow.
Glaring at Buffy she said "I am not evil! I keep it from you to keep you safe; everyone else understands that why can't you? Just because you're the slayer doesn't make you better then us or more deserving, I will tell people things when I'm good and ready not when I think it could harm my friends!" When she finished the lighting around her was scattered in the dark purple aura that had formed around her.
Just when Buffy looked like she was about to say something Willow's head snapped to the window that showed the street from the living room. Everyone else looked out the window to see what had captivated her. After a few seconds two demons appeared in a flash of light before roaring and running towards the window. Everyone but Willow got ready for a fight. Just as the demons smashed into the window they as well as the bits of broken glass were frozen in mid air unable to touch the ground.
Glaring at them she snaps her fingers making there necks snap to the side, killing them. Waving her hand she teleported them to a remote part of the world before letting her hair and eyes fade to black. Turning to look at the stunned and slightly fearful faces of her friends she bit her bottom lip that was quivering before saying "I don't know what to do, when I'm like that I have only one sentence going through my head……survive, do what you have to do but survive." Looking at them with watery eyes she said "I don't want you to hate me."
As the first tear falls down her cheek she's wrapped in a hug. Looking at the person she realises its Buffy. "I'm so sorry Wills, I didn't mean anything; can you forgive me?" Willow nodded to emotional to speak. Pulling back Buffy looked Willow and said "I could never hate you." Giving a watery smile Willow nodded before hugging Buffy again.
When they pulled back Willow wiped her eyes before saying "It's been a look emotion filled night, maybe we could come and meet back here at say 5:00pm that gives us an hour and a half before sunset okay?" Everyone nodded before all giving her a hug with the exception of Spike. When they all left she felt like falling on the ground and crying but she was stopped when a voice behind her said "Red?"
Turning she looked into the lust and concerned filled eyes of Spike right before his lips crashed against hers. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck trying to pull hi as close as possible. As there tongues started to caress each other she felt comforted. When she pulled back for much needed air he leaned there foreheads together before saying "I've been wanting to do that since you were in the courtyard with soldier boy."
Smiling she snuggled her face into his shirt. After a few seconds of taking in his scent she pulled back and said "Spike….if something happens, I….I don't want to have never been with you." Looking into his startled eyes she started pulling him towards her room. When they got to the stairs he stopped her and said "Willow, are you sure?" Turning to look at him she said "More then anything."
