"So are we clear on everything?" Kennedy asked looking around the room.

"Sweetie," Willow sighed, "we've gone through it like 10 times."

"I know, but…"

"Kennedy, we got it." Willow lightly chided.

"I still would like to raise my previous objection." Buffy interjected.

Lenara smiled. "Buffy, it's settled. I'll play Willow. If we can trap him, then it won't matter. But if not…"

"Then you'll be by yourself with a fucking lunatic killer."

Lenara sighed. "It's our best chance. I am going to do it. It's settled. Willow, I think the power attraction spell is great, and once Savon or Pron or both show, we will all chant the containment spell. Once they catch on, they will come after me thinking that I am Willow. Hopefully we finish before he gets away or grabs me, but…" Lenara stopped speaking suddenly.

"What is it?" Buffy asked.

"We need to go NOW!"

All 4 women suddenly vanished from the room.

Buffy stood in the Great Hall on Pellin, barely believing what she was seeing. Zaz was pummeling his brother Pron in the middle of the room, rage emanating from every pore on his body.

"You son of a bitch!" he screamed. His fists were flying at a rapid speed. Pron put up no fight. He was on his knees cloaked in green. Lenara immediately dashed over to the pair throwing Zaz across the room. She looked down at Pron, who was bleeding from his nose, both eyes swollen almost shut.

"How is this possible?" she muttered.

"Len," he barely uttered.

Zaz made his way back over. "Move aside Lenara! He has to die!" Zaz was screaming.

"Please Len. Let him kill me." Pron's plea was barely above a whisper.

"No! Why are you in green? What has happened?"

"He bit Nessa!" Zaz shouted.

"What?" Buffy interjected.

"I found him, bent over her body, blood on his mouth. He was trying to…"

"Drain her?" Buffy asked.

Zaz's only response was a nod.

"Where is she Zaz?" Lenara asked concerned.

"With Mahzi in the healing pool."

"Our father. He's sick. He stole the magic essence from Druscilla. He's what she was." Pron mumbled. "He made me what she was too. What he is now. We crave blood."

"Savon is a vampire?" Buffy asked.

Pron nodded his head, tears flowing.

"As are you now. So, if that is true, how are you in green?" Buffy continued.

"I came here to drink from her, from all of you. I found her alone in the kitchen. She let me bite her. But when I did, she didn't scream out. She simply told me that she forgave me. I…I stopped. And cried. I ran. I ran to find you all. I want to die."

"I found our grandmother alive, but weak. Imagine my surprise when I found him in here." Zaz pointed to Pron. "In green no less."

"I'm sorry…" Pron uttered.

"OUR GRANDMOTHER PRON!" Zaz screamed. "OUR FAMILY, OUR PEOPLE!"

"I know." Pron whispered. "I'm ashamed."

"Move Lenara. Don't protect him or I will go through you," Zaz was trembling with anger.

"No Zaz. I won't let you kill him like this. You begged me to spare him once, remember?" Lenara answered evenly.

"Please, Lenara. Move. Let him kill me. I deserve no less." Pron begged.

"No." Lenara answered. "You want to die. That is your choice. But you will tell us where Savon is first. You owe that much to Nessa."

Pron nodded and mumbled a response.

"Very good Pron. You will stay here with Kennedy and Willow. Zaz, Buffy, and I are going to end this now." Lenara stated.

"You are going to let him live?" Zaz asked shocked.

Lenara looked at Pron. "He isn't alive Zaz. He hasn't been in a while. And we are going to let Nessa decide his fate if she survives. If she doesn't, then I will decide what we do with him. But right now we need to get to Savon. Zaz, please leave Pron for now. Please."

"Before we go, we will need certain supplies." Buffy interjected. "Vampires can only be killed a handful of ways. Stake through the heart, fire, blown to bits…"

"Option 3 sounds great. When are we going Len?" Zaz muttered.

"Wait!" Willow walked over. "Nessa and I worked on a spell to keep him from disappearing. Take me with you and I'll keep him there."

"We need you Willow. Please come. But Kennedy, I really need you to stay. Just in case…"

Kennedy nodded. Lenara looked at Pron. "You get any ideas and decide green isn't your color, Kennedy here will make sure your death wish is fulfilled. She's a Slayer Pron, and a damn good one. As a vampire, you should know what she is."

"I will cause you no more trouble Lenara." Pron sighed.

Zaz walked over to his brother. "This is not over brother."

"I know."

Lenara walked over to Buffy. "We can end this now. Are you ready?"

"I am. Lenara, whatever happens, I…"

Lenara smiled, "Tell me when we get back. You can take me to dinner, and I will…"

Buffy laughed. "Keep that to yourself."

Lenara turned to Willow. "Ready witch?"

Willow nodded her head.

"Zaz?"

"Yeah, Len. I am ready."

Lenara drew in a deep breath, and all 4 disappeared.

When they materialized Buffy realized they were in a sewer system. Lenara whispered, "Zaz, stick close to Willow. If she can't complete the spell in time, get her out of here." The friends walked a few blocks until they heard whisperings. In a round room, Savon was surrounded by dozens of vampires.

"You will be my new army! Without souls, you cannot betray me to Nessa, and in return we will feed on the magical blood of the Pellinae. It is far superior to the human blood here. Soon my son will have drained his grandmother dry and Pellin will be weak."

Willow closed her eyes and began to glow white. Once her spell began Savon's eyes darted around the room. "Witch!" he screamed. His vampire hoard immediately ran towards Buffy's group.

"Here we go!" Buffy yelled.

Zaz, Lenara, and Buffy fought off the onslaught of attackers, quickly dashing around the room. Savon seized his opening and rushed at Willow. But before he could reach her, Lenara cut him off, and grabbed him by the throat.

"Willow?" Lenara yelled.

"It's done!" came the reply.

Lenara's fist planted itself between her uncle's eyes. "Guess what Savon? You're not going anywhere!"

Savon back peddled on his hind quarters. "How-how did you find me?"

"Funny you should ask. I ran into Pron. Imagine my surprise when I found him in green."

"Lying bitch! This isn't over." Savon replied, tightly shutting his eyes. Within moments he opened them again. "How is this possible?"

"I told you that you weren't going anywhere! Look around Savon and watch your pitiful army destroyed."

Savon looked around the room to see Buffy and Zaz making short work of the vampires.

"This isn't possible!" Savon screamed. "Zaz. Come to your father's aide. Be better than your brother."

Zaz paused momentarily and rushed to his father. He planted his foot in his father's face. "Go to hell old man." Savon cringed on the floor. Lenara looked over at Buffy who was dusting the last vampire.

"You are beaten Savon!" Lenara spat.

"Never!" He sprung to his feet and lunged at a surprised Lenara. He just did grab her locket before she side stepped him. He squeezed his fist crushing the trinket. Lenara screamed and fell to the floor landing on her face. Buffy raced to Savon and staked him through his heart. His face twisted in agony and he crumpled to the floor in a pile of dust. Buffy turned and looked at Lenara lying on the floor. Willow rushed to Lenara's side and turned the girl over. An almost inaudible gasp escaped her lips. Before her eyes Lenara slowly transformed.

Lenara opened her eyes momentarily. "W-w-willow?" After the word was uttered she collapsed completely in the witches' arms.

"It can't be." Willow uttered.

Buffy raced over and looked down at her fallen girlfriend.

"Oh my God," she whispered, "Tara."

A/N: And there's the twist. The radio show I listened to had a few authors who had written Buffy/Tara fic. I was dumbfounded, as I didn't think it would be possible. I love the Willow/Tara pairing and couldn't think of a way to do a convincing Buffy/Tara. This story was what I came up with...so, if you made it this far, please tell me what you think of the twist. Did you see it coming? I tried to give you subtle hints...
