Willow tried to see Tara, but all she could see was the stone wall in front of her. Her arms were chained to the wall. A gag was still in her mouth so she couldn't even call for help. She knew in her heart that if something had happened to Tara, she would have felt it. Besides, Spike needed both of them for the prophecy to come true.
"Well, Red, are you ready to cooperate then?" Spike's voice came from somewhere. She couldn't quite see. It made her realize that it wasn't a stone wall she was looking at. Her vision was so blurry from the constant torture that Spike had devised, she couldn't tell what she was looking at. "That's right, luv. I'm right here. Never left you. You left me several times." He laughed. "You are stronger then I would have given you credit for."
Willow tried to say something, but again the gag. Roughly, Spike removed the gag. "All right." Her voice sounded so strained, she almost didn't recognize it. "As long as Tara isn't hurt, I'll cooperate."
Tara's voice came from somewhere to her left. "W-willow, don't do it. I'd rather die than let him get w-what he wants."
Trying to focus on the sound of her voice, Willow smiled. "We can find a way, after I've done what he asks of me. Trust me, sweetie. I won't lose you. I've already lost too much in my life." Willow turned her head back to where she was finally making out Spike's silhouette. "Tell me what you want. Then let me and Tara go."
Spike chuckled. "You'll do as I say. Maybe I'll let you go. Odds are, I won't."
Willow knew that she really didn't have a choice. Spike would never let her or Tara go. "Just get it over with already."
"Well, well, we're still feisty, aren't we Red. I like that." Spike turned from her. "They're ready. Prepare them."
A few minutes later, she and Tara were strapped to a table together. She couldn't see her but they held hands. A lot was going through Willow's mind. It looked like it might be the end for her. At least she'd found her soulmate. And maybe, just maybe, she'd be able to see Buffy and the others again. Not that she wanted to die. Not with Tara being everything for her to live for. Her breathing began to pick up. She felt Tara squeeze her hand. It was the calming force she so desperately needed.
"All right. This is how it's gonna work. We've got the mojo words written down for you. All you have to do is say them." Spike laughed. "And then, all you have to do is touch me and I get all invincible like. Gosh, I can't wait. Do you know how many innocents I can take down? And then there's Angelus. He has it coming if anybody has."
"Spike, the longer you talk, the less willing I am to do this." Willow tried to look at him. She had restraints around her head and neck. "Just tell us what we need to say and do and we'll do it."
"All right luv. Here are the words." Spike shoved a piece of paper in front of her and Tara. "Just don't try anything. Remember who can kill you in an instant."
"I haven't forgotten what you're capable of." Willow squeezed Tara's hand. "Looks like we've got a spell to do."
"R-ready when you are." Tara squeezed her hand back.
Both Willow and Tara began. "The power flows to the north. The power flows to the sea. The power flows from the moon and stars." Spike's face grew to that of a vampire in anticipation. "There once was light. Let there be total darkness. Let no other power be of force. No holy water, no garlic, no crucifixes. Let the unholy creature who walks at night no longer be afraid of those things that will harm."
A bright light shot through both Willow and Tara. Willow could feel the power building inside her. It wasn't a feeling she exactly liked. Again, she tried to open her eyes to see Spike. He wasn't near enough for her to see. She could see Harmony starting to back off as the light grew brighter and brighter. The whole place nearly exploded as the bright light exploded knocking down all inside.
While all the vampires were on the ground, both Willow and Tara used their minds as quickly as possible to remove all the restraints. Willow nearly stumble when she tried to stand. If it hadn't been for Tara holding her hand, she probably would have. They tried to make it to the opening in the cave before any vampire could catch them.
They looked up to see Spike standing in the opening. "You two love birds weren't planning on going anywhere, now were you? You and I have some unfinished business."
They tried backing up, but were now surrounded by fifteen vampires. Willow kept a tight hold of Tara's hand. "You knew we at least had to try, Spike. It's human nature to survive."
"I'll give you that, luv." Spike smile, his demonic features still showing through. "Now, one last thing to do." Spike reached out his hand and touched where their hands met. He felt this power surge through him. "I like that."
Suddenly, he was smoking. It wasn't long before he had burst into flames. "Bloody hell!" He disappeared into a pile of ashes.
Keeping their hold of one another, Willow and Tara turned towards the other vampires, now led by Harmony. "So, anyone else want immortality?"
Harmony stared at the two. "What exactly did you do?"
Willow smiled. "We're witches. And we're pretty smart. We did a reversal spell before you guys came for us."
"You mean?" Harmony looked at the pile of dust that used to be Spike.
"I mean, we planned on getting captured all along. And taking out the baddies once and for all." She smiled at Tara. "Just think, now whenever anything evilly touches us, they'll burst into flames just like Spike."
"C-cool." Tara smiled back.
"You're kidding, right?" Harmony looked from Willow to Tara.
"Try us." That's when Willow began chanting. A fireball formed in her right hand. "Say goodnight, Harmony."
Harmony screamed as the fireball hit her and the others. All that was left was a big pile of ashes. Willow and Tara walked out, hand in hand.
Two months had past since Spike had kidnaped them. They had discovered that it was true. Instead of evilly types becoming invincible, now Willow and Tara were.
Willow smiled as she lay next to her girlfriend. She still really missed her friends. And Giles was still crazy. But she now had Tara.
"What're thinking?" Tara asked.
Willow notice it was without a stutter. "I may have lost my friends, but I gained my soulmate. Here's to you and me forever, baby." She rolled over and gave Tara a huge passionate kiss.
a/n Well, that's the end unless somebody wants more. Knowing me, I could always come up with more. It doesn't take only a little suggestion and I have a huge long story. Hope everyone enjoyed.
