Chapter 7 True Love. Will Buffy be able to save her true love and save the kingdom form the clutches of Liam. You'll see next. Anything that does not sound like it should be there like the needle is well, I can't explain it. Oh, and anybody from the cast of Buffy or Angel who reads my incredible tales, (I'm so modest) let me know what cast you are from. That is if you like. Thanks for reading my fics.
Buffy swings her hand at Liam but he stops her hand. She tries to pull it away but he is too strong for her. Tara and Willow sit in fear of what Liam will do to Buffy.
"Now, now that's not the way to treat you're king and your husband." Liam releases her hand. Buffy looks at him in a strange way.
"I'll never marry you!" Buffy pulls away from Liam. "All you want is the crown and to rule the kingdom. I won't let you have that. Never!"
"Oh, but my dear you have," says Liam. "You've already decided."
"What are you talking about?" ask Buffy confuse.
"You will marry me or else." Liam says in a cold tone.
"Or else what?"
"Your true love will die." Buffy's eyes widen.
"You can't. You don't have the power."
"I do. And I will." Liam smiles his evil smile. "What will it be Buffy?" She looks at Willow and Tara who shrug. She then turns to Liam who has an evil grin on his face.
"Alright," says Buffy in a soft voice. "You win. Now let Xander go."
"That's after the wedding." Liam goes to the door then turns around. "I'll need some witnesses." He looks at Willow and Tara. The two nod their heads and Liam smiles.
"I'll meet you in the throne room in five minutes." He leaves as Buffy falls to the ground and begins to sob. Tara and Willow go to her and comfort her.
"What am I going to do?" ask Buffy still sobbing. Buffy then gets up and goes to her desk. She pulls out a blank sheet of paper and writes something down with a pen. Buffy folds the paper and wipes a tear from her cheek. She turns to Willow and Tara and gives them the small paper.
"Please...give this to Xander," Buffy says between sobs. "It's very important that he gets this." Willow and Tara nod their heads.
"We'll get it to him right away Buffy." Willow puts the paper in her pocket and heads to the door.
"Buffy, everything will be alright. You'll see." Tara touches Buffy hair that falls on her face. She bows her head and heads to the door where Willow is waiting.
As her friends left Buffy begins to sob once again.

"Where are you two witnesses?" The priest asks.
"They'll be here." Liam begins to get angry. Let's start the ceremony."
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and this woman into holy matrimony." says priest Travers. Buffy is looking away to a window as Liam is holding her hand and stares with a grin at the priest.
"Do you Buffy take Liam to be your husband in sickness and in health till death to you part?" Buffy turns her head to the priest with her eyes wide open. She then looks at Liam who gives her a smile.
While Liam and the priest waited for Buffy's reply, Willow and Tara are heading to the jail cells to give Xander the note that Buffy wrote to him. Willow stays at the entrance of the jail to watch if anyone is coming, while Tara goes to Xander's cell to give him the note.
"Who are you?" ask Xander to Tara. He stands up and looks at her.
"Don't worry I won't hurt you." Tara looks over to the stairs of the jail, which is where Willow is and hears some commotion. "Here. This is from Buffy." The sound from the stairs start to get louder and she can hear Willow talking to who ever is coming down.
Xander takes the note and reads it. He then looks at Tara then at the stairs where he sees a couple of shadows on the wall.
From the stairs come three men wearing silly outfits. They use to be the clowns for the King but were really bad. It was like torture to watch them so Liam decided to give them a job as the Three of Torture. They are also inventors and they built a machine that tortures people even more than their bad jokes.
"Willow get out of the way." One of the guys, Warren says. He gets through Willow and heads over to Xander's cell. Xander backs off the cell. Tara then confronts Warren.
"Warren, hi. " She gives him a half smile then signals Willow with her eyes to get the keys that are in Warrens pocket dangling out.
"Hi Tara. What are you doing down here? This not a place for girl like you."
"I... was going to ask the same to you." Warren looks back at his friends Jonathan and Andrew who did not notice Willow getting close to Warren's pocket. They were busy looking into Xander's cell.
"We are going to test our machine out on this one." Tara looks at Willow who is two inches away from grabbing the key.
"Really, why this man?" ask Tara trying to sound interested in Warren's science experiment. Warren is pleased at her interest and grabs the key to the cell before Willow could get it. Willow's like 'DAME!'
"Would you like to join me?" Warren opens the cell door and signals his two accomplices to get Xander. Andrew and Jonathan attempt to grab Xander but struggle with him. They get him to the door and Warren pulls out a needle and sticks it into Xanders arm. This knocks him out in a second. Both Willow and Tara gasp. Warren shows the needle to the girls. "It's the way of the future." Warren smiles at Tara.
"I can't...the wedding I..."
"Oh yes. Witnesses." Andrew and Jonathan drag Xander down the corridor of the jail cell and up the stairs. "That's too bad. Maybe some other time." Warren grabs Tara's hand and kisses it. Tara gives a scared and sweet smile as Warren walks away.
"Oh my gosh," says Willow walking over to Tara.
"What Willow? I was only flirting with him so we won't get into trouble."
"No not that!"
"Then, what?"
"Warren and his guys. They are going to kill Xander."

Back at in the throne room Buffy still had not answer the question. The priest and Liam look at her. Just then Willow and Tara run from the back door into the room. Liam glares at them as they approach the throne.
"I...d...on't," replies Buffy looking at Liam.
"Yes you do," says Liam in a stern voice.
"No..." Liam covers her mouth and looks at the priest.
"Cat's got her tongue. She meant to say she does." Liam smiles holding Buffy with his hand over her mouth. Willow and Tara are powerless to stop Liam from forcing Buffy to marry him.
"Do you Liam take Buffy to be your wife in sickness and in health till death to you part?"
"I do." Liam answers with confidence.
"If there is no one here who does not wish this two to be married speak now or forever hold your peace." Willow and Tara were about to open their mouths when Liam looks at them.
"Don't even think about it." Liam then looks at the priest. "Get on with it Father Traverse."
"Oh, yes. I now proclaim you..." The three men who took Xander are passing by the door of the throne room that is ajar. Xander has a sudden wake and opens his eyes to see Buffy in Liam's arms. "...husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." Liam quickly slides his hand from her mouth and kisses forcefully.
"No...Buffy..." Xander says as a tear runs down his cheek. He then passes out and is drag away.
Buffy swings her hand at Liam but he stops her hand. She tries to pull it away but he is too strong for her. Tara and Willow sit in fear of what Liam will do to Buffy.
