Chapter Twelve ~ Always

"Good morning William"

"Morning Win"

William walked passed a startled Fred as he bounced his way the fridge. Fred gapped at the boy because he had voluntarily spoken to be in over a month. He was happy! Oh god he happy!

"So - how are you" she now added hopefully.

"Great, super, fantastic, excellent, ecstatic" he replied, scooping out a half a box of cold pizza and popping it into the microwave.

Wesley and Lorne were shocked as they watched the boy from two feet away. When William couldn't find any desirable beverage, he snapped his fingers twice and a Coke appeared in his hand. As if on time, the microwave timer went off and out came the pizza. Still even more startling was when William smiled at Harmony, whom he had hated since he first met her. It was like a chain reaction. Harmony was so shocked that she tripped and spilt the stack of papers she was carrying, which caused so many other employees to topple what they were doing to. Oblivious to this all. William giddily dashed away with pop and pizza in hand.

Only seconds later Angel entered the room, watching the boy leave over his shoulder. He didn't appear to be shocked at all.

"Well it looks like the counseling is helping" he stated staring at the others.

"You sent him to a counselor?" Fred gasped incredulously.

"No, The counselor comes to him" the vampire replied.

"And who would this counselor be Angle-cakes?" Lorne quizzed.

"I don't have the foggiest"

"Are you mad? You don't even know whom he's with everyday?" Wesley snapped.

"Know I don't - fine I'll find out for you, if that'll make you all happy. HARMONY!"

Harmony came running as fast as she could on high heels. Stumbling and crashing into Gunn as she passed him in the hall, she arrived on time enough for Angel.

"Yes boss?" she asked, hiding her distaste.

"We would like to know who William's counselor is"

"Oh - the little red head? She's a sixteen year old elemental witch"

"What? A girl and his age?" Fred and Wesley shouted.

"Ooohhh it looks like our lil' feline has found his soul mate" Lorne gushed.

"You knew about this?" Angel asked.

Lorne smiled slyly.

"Yes. You remember that reading I did for him? Well a little snippet was of that. This girly has to be very precious to have our boy in such a tailspin over her" he stated lightly.

Angel turned to Harmony and shook his head. God that kid had a crush and it was a soul mate to boot.

"So, who is she?"

"Well boss that's what you're going to flip over - her name is Rowena - Rowena Rosenberg"

"And that means what to 'me' exactly?" Angel stressed the question to his ditzy secretary as best as he could.

"Well she would be Willow's daughter"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

William smiled lazily as he ate his pizza. He watched as Rowena sat cross-legged meditating in the room's center, drawing the Earth Element to her. He didn't know what it was, but she just seemed so captivating.

"So, do you want to perform a spell together?" she suddenly asked, which brining him back to reality.

"What?"

"I asked you if you wanted to do a spell with me"

"You, you mean you trust me that much"

That was truly shocking for him. No one had ever really trusted him.

"With my life" she grinned.

"But you haven't know me that long!" he protested.

"Now you listen to me. I don't give out my trust very often. When I was younger, Darcy said I was a shrew because I refused to make friends with anyone. My mom would tell me that was because I was special, but I knew that was bull. I didn't want friends. When every I did try to make any, they ridiculed my looks, personality and intelligence. It was because they were jealous of me. I knew I was pretty and smart, although I was reserved. They could never understand that" Rowena said.

"But something tells me that I can trust you, like it told me I couldn't trust the others. I'm glade to have a friend like you"

"I'm, I'm honored" William managed to stutter, his heart pounding in his chest.

Rowena motioned for him to join her on the floor. Getting to it, William hurriedly bounded over and with her.

"Okay, give me your hands"

William placed his hands palms forward against hers. Following instruction, he crossed his legs in the same position as hers. Then it was if the were both on the same wave link, they started chanting.

"unisca le nostre alimentazioni, la terra, il fuoco, anima"
(Unite our powers, Earth, Fire, Soul)

Their magic swilled spirally about. Flames appeared and ivies grew and liquid bubbles sparkled.

"faccia due si transformano in in uno tansforma in in due"
(Make two become one and one become two)

In the magic two balls of light formed. There was one of red and the other of blue. They merged together to form purple and the separated.

"mostrici il desiderio del nostro cuore"
(Show us our heart's desire)

Everything pulsed like a beating heart and spin.

"nella luce dorata dei heaven's, lasci questo sogno con noi"
(In heaven's golden light, leave this dream with us)

The room around them was thrown into a blinding white light. William and Rowena, still linked, started to levitate. They refused the urge to giggle from the enlightenment, and continued the spell.

"dei momenti rubati occors de noi , promettaci I giorni felici"
(Of stolen moments taken from us, give us promise of happy days)

The power dimmed -

"sempre pre una strega elementare e un mage changeling"
(For a elemental witch and a changeling mage)

Then the magic exploded. It all want back into William and Rowena was painful force. They saw each other's heart's desire, they had been united and then separated and felt a happiness that was indescribable. It was like always.

William stared into Rowena's emerald green eyes, were as she stared into his crystal blue. To ask what had just happened wasn't the best answer. They knew it in their hearts. Without one word to each other, they kissed.

** So that was my newest chapter! I thought it would be cute to recreate a new version of Willow and Tara's spell scene on BtVS. Anyway I plan to bring Willow into the next chapter along with Darcy, but I can't decide wither to bring Kennedy or not. Please help me out with that. **

** I still think that I am doing the chapters a little too short, so I hope that isn't a problem. I'll try to make them longer in the future, but I find that I have to stop when what I have to say for the chapter is said (so there's not much I can go on about) **

** If you have any suggestions, feel free to give them - there always welcome. And I would also like to thank everyone for all the wonderful reviews. THANX!! Well so I hope you like it. Later! **
