Amiel turned to see Tara leaning against the door frame.
"You finished?"
Amiel nodded. "What's happening? I dreamed-"
"No, you didn't," Tara cut her off.
"Okay, so we're just gonna run off to fight a complete stranger because they said to?"
"Buffy's not a stranger. She's the slayer. Tara and Willow knew her, and now Vixen and Viper are going to kill her."
"What's a slayer?"
Tara left Amiel's question unanswered, because Willow tapped her on the shoulder and said, "We're going."
Tara thought-spoke to Willow, *Is Amiel fighting?*
*Why wouldn't she?*
*They'll kill her.*
*True. But she'll be a distraction. We're going to Rack's first, get a power boost. Then Buffy'll be nothing to us.*
*If that's the case, then why should we send in Amiel? Look, I don't want her to get hurt.*
*Fine. Leave her here.*
Tara spoke aloud now, "You stay here. Read this," she muttered in latin and a book appeared in her hands, "It should tell you what you need to know about the slayer. We'll be back. Wait for us."
Tara grabbed a coat and her and Willow slammed the door behind them as they left.
"Where are they?"
"I'm getting impatient"
"They'll be here!"
"Buffy, are you sure?" Xander asked, "I mean, for all they know they're walking into an ambush!"
"They are walking into an ambush," Cordy pointed out.
"Actually they aren't. That's the problem." Anya muttered.
"It has been an hour," Xander put his hand on Buffy's shoulder.
"Do invites have to be spoken, or can we come in now?" Willow's voice caused everyone to turn and look at the door, which had just been kicked open.
Tara stepped across the boundary.
"Guess that magic-trick invitation of yours counts."
Willow's hair and eyes were black. She had on leather pants and a plain black top. Tara had red eyes, and although her hair was still the same colour, she had ugly veins all over her face. She was wearing red leather pants and a flowing brown coat over a black top similar to Willow's.
Buffy fumbled in her pockets and swallowed the powder in her pouch. It tasted dusty, and a little like boiled apples. Luckily neither witch saw it, they were both too busy dealing with power-enhanced Anya, Xander and Cordelia.
"Get off me!" Willow yelled at them, and threw Xandre and Anya against the wall. They landed in a heap and Xander had a huge gash on his head. Meanwhile, Tara elbowed Cordy and kicked the crossbow out of her hands, Cordy bent down to get it and managed to shoot Tara in the leg.
"Not gonna work, lovie," she hissed as she kicked her head. Cordy slid over to where Anya was trying to stop Xander's bleeding.
Tara and Willow ran to Buffy, who was clutching a sword. She swung a few times, but the hyped-up vampires were too fast. Tara got Buffy in the stomach and Willow grabbed her from behind. Tara sunk her teeth into Buffy's neck, and felt the blood of the slayer inside her. It was an amazing sensation. Thick, red blood licked Tara's lips, sank into her tongue and washed over her teeth. Her whole body felt alive and electric. Then she swallowed. Tara collapsed to her knees. Willow mis-interpreted this as her turn, and opened a new hole in Buffy.
Buffy screamed this time, and held her hands up to the four tiny holes in her neck. But as hurt as Buffy was, Tara and Willow were in worse shape. Willow was gasping on her hands and knees, Tara had started recovering, she looked normal again, but she could barely stand. Willow reached out and grabbed Tara's hand. They stood up together, still powerful, but drained of their magic. Buffy had crawled away, but Cordy had carefully aimed her crossbow. She pulled the trigger, and Willow turned to dust.
"NO!" Tara let out a blood-curdling scream and raced at Cordy. She bashed her head against the floor and sat on her chest, holding her neck ready to snap it. Cordy was scared and struggling but before Tara could kill her, Anya had grabbed a stake and stabbed Tara through the heart. Cordy coughed as Tara's ashes went into her mouth. The battle was over.
While Tara and Willow got staked, Xander had regained consiousness, seen Buffy and called an ambulance. Xander and Buffy went to hospital, Anya and Cordy were checked for injuries too. The next day Buffy was fine, slayers heal fast.
Amiel walked through the house where her mothers were killed. She saw blood where Buffy had been tasted, she saw where Xander's head had cracked the plaster of the wall. She walked upstairs and saw where the slayer slept. She grabbed a picture of Buffy, laughing with Willow and ripped it in half. She put both halves in her pocket, grabbed a black texta from the table and scrawled over the mirror, "I'll be back"
THE END

Okay, i'ts finally finished. Phew. R & R, please! Should I write a sequel? It seems like I should, but... I'll see if I get an idea. Got a few brewing, actually. I'll finish Angel Vs Angelus first, though. Any ideas or challenges welcomed.
The End!
