Willow The Witch
Chapter Six- Whoa
The room was quite as Xander left.
"Well…"
Willow sighed. "It's been a long night. Let's all go get some
sleep." Her voice shaking slightly.
"I think that's a good
idea." Giles nodded slowly in agreement.
"I'm going to go
make sure Xander's okay." Anya added, almost running out of the
store.
Everyone said their goodbyes and went their separate
ways. It was Tuesday, Dawn and Spike's day. The last few months,
they had been going out once a week. Movies, mall or what not. This
meaning Willow and Tara would have the house to themselves for a few
hours.
When they got home, Willow went straight to her bedroom,
closely followed by Tara.
Willow sat down on the bed and looked
at Tara with sad eyes. "This changes everything." Willow began to
cry, a few tears here or there.
"No, it doesn't." Tara sat
beside her, trying to comfort her.
"I'm a Slayer! You know,
the kind with the vampire's and demons, hell-gods and evil
fighting! I've always been the sidekick. It's what I do. I can't
do this. I-I'm scared."
Tara put her arms around Willow and
made comforting sounds as Willow wept.
Willow opened her eyes
to find herself laying in her bed, covered by a light blanket,
sunlight shinning through the windows.
She stood up and looked
in the mirror. Her face was slightly red from crying, and her hair
was messy. But she really didn't care right now.
When she
walked into the kitchen she saw Dawn sitting at the island and Tara
making pancakes.
"H-hi honey. Want some pancakes?" Tara asked
sweetly.
"Sure." Willow sat down by Dawn. She didn't feel
to hungry, but remembered she hadn't eaten in over 24 hours. She
had been busy yesterday.
"So…" Dawn stopped, unsure of what
to say.
"It's okay Dawnie." Willow gave a sad smile to the
young girl. "I'm fine with it now. Well, maybe not fine…but as
fine as I'm gonna get."
"When do you think you'll
start…" Dawn was cut off by Spike. Who was running in the door, a
smoking blanket on his head. He threw the blanket off and stomped on
the spreading fire. "Morning." He nodded, coming to sit by Dawn.
"Hey." Dawn smiled at him, before returning to Willow.
"Anyway, when do you think you'll start training?"
"I
don't know. I haven't thought about it. It all just seems to
weird. I mean…I don't feel any stronger. How am I supposed to
know? I rather not go out and pick a fight with some vamps…just to
see."
"You can hit me." Spike got up from his seat by Dawn,
walked a few over and sat by Willow.
"What?"
"You can
hit me. I'll know. And if you hurt me too bad, I'll just drink it
off." He shrugged.
He stood up. She stood up. "I don't know
about this…I haven't ever really hit anyone before." She looked
at him then at her lowered hand.
"All you have to do is pull
your fist back, and hit me. It's not that hard."
Nobody moved
for a second, then Willow, very speedily, I may add, pulled back her
arm and punched Spike, sending him to the floor, sliding, and ramming
into the wall.
Willow's eyes got big, "Whoa."
