Sitting off to the side Giles watched as the ten witches of the coven chanted softly from their circle, Willow in its center. Trying to summon Tara to them. The chanting growing louder and more insistent using Willow as the catalyst to draw her near. Power began to hum throughout the room when suddenly a scream broke.

"Willow," came Tara's cry.

"Oh God," Willow reached up to try to touch her. "Oh baby, what do you need? How can I help you?"

"Willow," Tara cried out again as if in pain. "I can't get away from him."

"From who?" Willow asked frantically. "Who has you? Tell me."

Tara screamed and was pulled away. A voice came through the hole she left.

"Me. You want her Strawberry? Come and get her."

Willow collapsed in the circle at the sound of that voice. She retched unable to control herself.

How had he gotten to her. Not him. Rack. She had stolen his power when Tara had died. She thought he was gone and now he had Tara.

Rubbing her mouth, she got up and walked out of the circle heading towards her room. Giles headed off after her.

"Willow," he called. "Willow wait for me."

"What?" she snapped.

"Don't go off unhinged," Giles said finally catching up with her.

"I don't have time for this," Willow started off again. "I have to find where she is. Inter-dimensional plane wherever. I'm gonna do to him what I thought I had already done."

"Then all your time here will have been wasted," Giles yelled. "Let the coven help you."

"Then so be it," Willow was beyond reason, her only thought was to get to Tara. She entered her room and grabbed some of her things. Hearing Giles trying to enter she waved her hand towards the door she muttered a phrase under here breath and had him effectively locked out. Knowing there would be no coming back for her she gestured for several books, crystals, and herbs to come to her. Beginning to chant the books began to glow and tell their secrets to Willow. Smiling, feeling primed with her newly acquired power she vanished from the room.

Willow began feeling through the dimensions for Tara's essence, her vibrations. Rack should've known better than to try and exact revenge on her. The power she had attained, he could never hope to match. She would squash him like a bug. Feeling more than confident she felt Tara calling to her. She appeared where they were. Tara was shackled by lines of mystical energy. She tried to pull herself upright at Willow's sudden appearance. She started toward Tara to be halted by his voice.

"Hello Strawberry," Rack called.

"Rack," Willow drawled. "Now you know better than to piss me off. You know what I'm capable of and now you get to live it, or die it.

Sending powerful bursts of energy she brought him to his knees. Smiling at the power she was invoking, feeling it course through her. She loved knowing the damage she was going to cause him. She began searching her mind for the punishing blow that would make him beg to die. Coming closer to stand over him to move in for the kill. This was too easy.

"Time to say good-bye," she taunted him.

She was thrown back off her feet by a burst of power as Rack stood.

"Why say good-bye now? We've only just begun," smirking at her. "You didn't think it was gonna be that easy did you? Its time to play baby."
