Music In Our Hearts
Chapter 14: Say Something (Part 4- Say Something)
"You two were kinda loud last night." Faith teased Willow when she and Tara came downstairs. Both witches blushed furiously. Willow found it adorable that Tara could be so shy around everyone else, but when it was just the two of them alone in bed, Tara could completely dominate her.
"You weren't so quiet yourself." Willow pointed out.
"Yeah, well, kinda had to drown you guys out, or wouldn't be able to concentrate."
"So... You have concentration issues?" Willow asked, turning Faith's words around, and Faith was left dumbstruck, unabletofire back a comeback, which left Buffy in shock. Faith was the most comebackiest person Buffy had ever met.
Tara snickered a bit at that, and she and Willow walked out the front door, Faith and Buffy close behind.
...
Everyone met up at the Magic Box because Giles said he might have a lead on what might be casuing the spell to be maintained.
"So what's up, G?" Faith asked.
"I may have a lead on what is causing Willow's musical spell to be maintained." he said.
"Yeah, we got that. What is the lead?" Buffy asked.
"Oh! Right. Well, the ironic bit is, we never would have known about the presence of this demon were it not for Willow's spell. Actually, it was, um... It was a... um... A vampire that tipped me off." Faith rolled her eyes.
"Of course. 'Cause, ya know, vamps are great sources when it comes to Slayers."
"I'm sorry, Faith but I don't see anyone else coming up with any leads at all! At least this is something!" Giles snapped. He was wound so tight it was unreal. Even Faith recoiled.
"Jeez... Sorry, G. Not tryin' to put ya down or anythin'. So... let's hear it. What ya got?"
"Right then." Giles calmed down and cleared his throat. "Well, the demon is known as a Treblclef Demon. It feeds on the musical energy around it. The more music it has surrounding it, the stronger it becomes. It first came to town when Sweet was around, and fed from the musical spell Sweet cast. My guess is that it has been lying dormant, and that with the musical spell that Willow cast, it's found a way to maintain the spell itself so as to continue to gain strength. Taking out the Slayers and their allies is a definite plus, of course."
"Hey, G, that vamp you were talkin' about? Why'd he tell you about it?"
That put a glint of humor in Giles' eyes that actually creeped Buffy, Xander and Willow out. "You should know that vampires tend to say more than they mean to when they have a crucifix dangling in front of their face. Or a stake at their heart. Or if you hold their hand out in the sunlight. Or pour holy water on them. Or garlic."
Faith's eyes went wide, and she grinned. "Torture. Nice touch, G."
"Yes, well, unfortunately, the stupid vampire tried to run, and foolishly ran right out into the sunlight, so we still don't know where the Treblclef Demon is."
"Well, Tara and I... I mean... Tara... Tara can do a locator spell." Willow said, sighing. Tara squeezed Willow's hand reassuringly.
"A locator spell shouldn't be too much trouble." Tara said. "You can help me with that ,if you want."
Willow took a deep breath and everyone, even Anya, fell silent, awaiting her answer.
"No. I don't think that's a good idea yet. I... I think I need more time." Willow replied.
Tara nodded, and everyone approved of her choice.
"Did I pass the test?" Willow joked.
"It wasn't a test, Willow. I trust you." Tara said sincerely.
Willow nodded gratefully, but didn't change her mind. Instead, she just kissed Tara.
"Tara, if you need assistance, I'll help you." Giles said, and Tara nodded.
"Well, looks like we've got a plan, then. But looks like we're not needed yet, so I think me and B are gonna go patrol or somethin'." Faith said, standing up, and Buffy immediately knew where Faith's mind actually was right now, but decided to tease her first.
"It's not even noon yet. Any vamps stupid enough to be out and about right now would doour job for us and just slay themselves with the sun."
Faith turned and glared at her, but not in anger. Buffy wondered what happened that got Faith so... horny.
"Well, they can still survive in the sewers, ya know. Might... get lucky... and find some down there." Faith said, putting a very "subtle" emphasis on "get lucky".
"Eh, if they're in the sewers, chances are, the only thing to eat are rodents, and I don't know about you, but Sunnydale could do with a bit less of the rat population."
Faith sighed hungrily, and everyone watched her in amusement. "Okay, fine then. But I'd still like to go get something to eat." Faith replied. Again, very "subtle" emphasis on "eat".
"Well, go on ahead and go eat. I'm not hungry." Buffy said with a smile.
Faith leaned in so only Buffy could hear her. "Really, B? That how you wanna play it? You're really gonna make me beg, aren't you?"
"Yup." Buffy agreed, smirking. "And it better be out loud, where everyone can hear. Otherwise, this cookie jar ain't giving little Faithy her cookie."
Faith whimpered, then stood back up straight.
"Fine. You want it, you got it." Faith cleared her throat. "Hey, B, you wanna go back home so I can make you scream as loud as Red does?" That remark left Willow, Tara and Buffy all blushing, and Xander and Giles' eyes widened, and the Watcher cleaned his glasses as usual. Faith felt like she won.
"Oh... um... well..." Buffy stammered. Faith's comment left her speechless.
"Great, let's go." Faith said grining, and grabbed Buffy's hands and lead her out of the Magic Box.
"Wow, Tara you must be a very satisfying lover." Anya said bluntly, and both Willow and Tara blushed even redder. "Almost as good as Xander, in fact." And then Xander started blushing furiously.
...
"Jeez, Faith, what's gotten into you?" Buffy asked.
"Whaddya mean, B?" Faith asked as she pushed Buffy up against the wall and pushed her left thigh in between Buffy's legs, right up against her crotch, which was quickly becoming very moist.
"What... what happened that... got you so... damn horny?" Buffy said in between times Faith pushed a little harder on her sex with her thigh.
"B, I'm always horny when I'm with ya. You've got no fuckin' idea what you do to me."
"But why now? Why... Why all of... all of a sudden... do you... do you let it... get control? Why now?" Buffy asked, her breathing becoming labored, and they weren't even undressed yet.
"Have you seen what you're wearin'?" Faith whispered into Buffy's ear, and Buffy looked down. She hadn't really paid attention to what she'd put on today, but she was wearing a very low-cut v-neck red shirt much like the one Faith liked to wear, and a pair of black skinny jeans that showed her well-built muscles and very promiscuous backside. And since the shirt she was wearing was a spaghetti-strap, she could easily see the strap of a lacey black bra that Faith had given her for Faith's birthday. Buffy's present to Faith was wearing it and the matching panties for her that night.
"Oh." Buffy said, understanding dawning on her. She really hadn't noticed.
"Yeah, oh." Faith said, her voice very husky. Her hands were shaking, she was so turned on right now, as she busied them with undoing Buffy's shirt.
No more teasing was done between them. They hurriedly removed the clothing from each other, and Faith pushed Buffy back up against the wall and pressed her hip against Buffy's core, and Buffy returned the favor.
Faith started a rhythm grinding on Buffy's hip, and felt the rhythm matched by her lover, but it wasn't enough. Faith turned them around and laid Buffy down on the ground, and Faih laid down on top of her, their sexes smashing together as Faith ground even harder against her, and they were both soon moaning out into the room.
"God, Faith!" Buffy cried, scratching Faith's back with her nails. She didn't draw blood, but the raven-haired Slayer's back was definitely turning red.
"Fuck!" Faith grunted. Buffy was definitely the far more vocal of the two, but Buffy was determined to be the one making Faith scream this time. Buffy surprized Faith when she stroked Faith's slit once while they ground, and Faith froze for a minute, and Buffy took advantage of that to flip them over, so she was straddling Faith's waist.
Faith wasn't sure she liked being on the bottom, she'd always been more dominant, but when she tried to flip them back over, Buffy pinned her down and pulled out a pair of handcuffs. Obviously, they were real, otherwise, their Slayer strength would tear right through them.
Faith's eyes widened and she redoubled her efforts to get back on top, but Buffy had always been faster. Before Faith could even move, her hands were cuffed around the leg of the bed, and Buffy was grinding her core against Faith's stomach.
Faith barely even noticed Buffy's movements as she struggled to break the cuffs, but Buffy had had Willow enchant them when she first got them so that even Faith's Slayer strength could break them.
Finally, Faith's attention was drawn back to Buffy as the blonde let out a loud moan. She saw Buffy's glistening pink pussy sliding along her stomach, coating her with her juices, and Faith growled hungrily. Buffy sensed she had Faith's undivided attention again, and the younger Slayer stopped struggling.
Buffy grinned at her and started sliding down Faith's body again so she was sitting on her legs. Buffy lifted herself up enough to get Faith's legs out from under her and wrap them around her waist. Buffy stared down at Faith's fully exposed and unmoving body and let a whine escape. But she had a mission. She was going to make Faith scream her name.
And she was going to tell Faith about it.
"Faith, baby..." Buffy said sweetly, and Faith was confused. The blonde leaned over so she could whisper in Faith's ear. "I'm going to make you scream. So please, fight it all you want. It just means I'll get to try harder. And harder. And harder." Buffy sat back up and grinned when she saw Faith's wide eyes, and fighting a whimper.
Buffy turned her attention back to Faith's body. She started rubbing Faith's sex with her right hand and stroking her thigh with her left. Faith was moving her hips, trying to get more out of it, but Buffy just stilled her hand and let Faith rub herself on Buffy's hand.
"Come on, B." Faith pleaded. "Don't tease me like this."
Buffy merely ignored her, until Faith finally gave up and stilled herself, and Buffy continued to rub her slowly, and Faith struggled to stay still.
"I love you, Faithy." Buffy taunted her, and Faith just growled back.
The growl turned to a stifled moan as Buffy spread her lower lips and started prodding at her entrance. She never dipped her finger inside, she just teased the entrance. Finally, she pushed slightly on the puckering hole, and rubbed it in circles, and Faith was already losing the battle to stay quiet.
"Babe, please!" Faith whispered.
"God, Faith, you're so wet." Buffy continued to taunt her. "I'm... slipping all over." As she said "slipping", her finger slipped inside for a second, and Faith's body lurched forward on instinct, trying to imaple herself on Buffy's digit. Her eagerness amused Buffy, who slipped her finger back out and continued to tease Faith's entrance.
She built up a pattern with that, she'd tease Faith's entrance for about ten seconds, and thrust inside for less than one second, and return to teasing, and soon, Faith was in tears of frustration.
"You ready?" Buffy asked after the tenth time she did that, and Faith nodded in agreement. "I don't know. I don't think you are. Maybe I'd better get you a little wetter first." Faith whined, and Buffycould tell shewas winning. The blonde reached into their nightstand drawer and pulled out a long piece of cloth.
"B, no!" Faith protested, but Buffy slipped the blindfold around her head anyway. It was Buffy's turn to have some fun.
She went back to teasing Faith for a few minutes while she reached back into the still open drawer and pulled something else out.
After another five minutes of straight teasing, Buffy asked her again. "Are you ready now?" Faith moaned in response, sensing that that's what Buffy wanted right now.
"Good." Buffy replied, and Faith knew Buffy was going to stop teasing her at least. But then she felt something other than Buffy's fingers slipping inside her. Something much bigger. SOmethingshe used on Buffy occasionally.
She recognized the toy, because it was the only one they had. It was a large black dildo, about nine inches long, and in circumference, about 6 1/2 inches around. Faith gasped as she felt her hole close around the toy just on the other side of the head, then spread a little wider to accept the rest of the dildo.
"Fuck!" Faith barely managed to turn the scream threatening to escape her lips into a harsh whisper. She was determined to not give in on that regard. She was way more stubborn than Buffy, she was sure of it. Faith was not a screamer, and Buffy would not turn her into one.
But Buffy smirked, knowing Faith was close to breaking. She continued to slowly push the toy deeper into her lover, and Faith's legs closed around Buffy in a vice as another attempt to stop herself from screaming.
"Faith, you're losing the battle. Come on, I want you to make it more fun for me." Buffy said sincerely, and Faith growled, knowing Buffy was right.
When Faith had received half of the dildo inside her, Buffy gave it a powerful shove and forced the rest of it deep into her suddenly, and Faith very nearly cried out. But her determination wavered when Buffy didn't even give her time to adjust to the length buried inside her, she pulled it out to the head, then slammed it back in, and repeated again and again. Faith found herself meeting Buffy thrust for thrust, and felt her orgasm growing inside her quickly. If she could just last another ten seconds, she'd win, and Buffy wouldn't get a scream from her.
Nine seconds.
Eight seconds.
Seven seconds. Faith felt something clawing its way up her throat.
Five seconds.
Four seconds.
Three seconds. It was caught in her mouth, only her teeth caging it in.
Two seconds.
One second.
And Faith exploded, her cream turning the black toy and Buffy's hand white, and she just kept cumming, the viscious scream barely contained.
Just a few more seconds, and Buffy will have lost.
But Buffy didn't stop the thrusting when Faith came down. If anything, she started thrusting even harder.
And when Faith realized Buffy really was more determined than her, she let it go, and a feral snarl preceded a window-shattering scream.
"BUFFY!" Faith screamed, and even though she felt like her ears were going to bleed, Buffy was proud of herself, and smiled victoriously.
Buffy didn't stop until Faith came down from her second orgasm, and her body was shaking.
Buffy laid down on top of Faith and removed the blindfold before kissing her passionately.
"Fuck." Faith groaned in defeat when they pulled apart, and Buffy laughed. She uncuffed Faith and let the younger woman flip them back over and return the favor of cuffing her to the bed. Faith was determined to dominate Buffy to make up for letting herself be dominated, but they both knew that Buffy was the winner this time. And so Buffy went back to submitting, knowing that if she really wanted to, she could take control easily any time. But better to let Faith have her fun for now.
...
The location spell went off without a hitch, and Xander, Anya, Willow, Tara and Giles decided not to bother the Slayers. From what Willow had learned about the Treblclef Demon through research while the spell was being cast, it was a small, low-level demon that they could defeat even without the help of Slayers.
"Okay, we should be right at the entrance to its hideout if the spellwas accurate." Giles said, and they turned down another tunnel in the sewers and knew they'd come to the right place. But there had been a slight mis-calculation on the size.
The book had described it as a small red ape-like thing with large yellow spiralling horns that were larger than its body. It had pink eyes with white pupils, and if it weren't a demon, it would make a really cute household pet.
But this was almost completely different. This thing was so big, it could have eaten the worm demon that the mayor had turned into all those years ago, and still had room for the three human-sized people now staring up at it as desert.
It was now about twenty feet tall, and it's body structure was now less Curious George and more King Kong. It now had a grand total of SIX sets of massive spiralling yellow horns as opposed to the two horns in the picture. And its face looked much less cute like in the picture, and more classic demon.
It roared, and the entire sewer system shook with the sound waves.
One more surprize... The thing could now breathe fire.
It opened its mouth and a large ball of fire came crashing down on the group, or would have, if Willow hadn't instinctively thrown up a magic shield. But then the beasts fist hit someone as Willow dropped the shield, and Tara went sailing through the air and hit the wall of the sewer, hard.
Willow flew into a fit of rage when she saw Tara hurt, and her hair and eyes turned pitch black, and her veins seemed to pop out of her head. Giles had to step back, her power was that great.
"You... Don't... Touch... My... Tara..." Willow said softly, and even her words radiated power. The Treblclef demon flinched backwards. For some reason that it couldn't understand, it was afraid of this puny morsel. This toothpick actually scared him.
Willow's feet left the ground as she floated into the air, carried by her dark aura.
"Willow! Calm down!" Giles shouted. Even he was afraid of Willow now.
"Silence!" Willow hissed, and Giles found himself unable to open his mouth.
The demon fired another fireball towards the bug that was flying towards him, but the bug caught the fireball without even flinching, and it disappeared without even a puff of smoke. It threw its fist at her, and it bounced off a force shield and hit itself in the face.
"My turn." Willow said, and she raised her hand, and pushed outwards, her hand flat, as though she were pressing it against an invisible wall.
The demon's fur and skin flew off its body in an instant, and it roared in pain, then fell to the ground, dead. Willow allowed herself to land on the ground,and as she saw Tara again, lying still in Giles' arms, the Watcher's tears landing on the blonde's face, Willow's hair, eyes, and skin went back to normal, and she hurried and took Tara from Giles.
"Tara? Come on, baby, wake up. It's gone. The bad demon's gone." Willow said hysterically. Giles tried to put a hand on Willow's shoulder, but he flinched back instead. He'd felt Tara for a pulse. There was none, and her neck seemed to be broken. "It's okay, I beat it. You can wake up now! Please!" Willow sobbed into Tara's chest. She, too, could not feel Tara's heartbeat, and her skin was quickly losing color, and growing cold as Death took her.
Willow channeled power into Tara, refusing to believe that she could really be gone. She felt Tara's neck snap back into place, and evey wound the blonde had ever suffered, every single scar disappeared, but her breath never came bacl, and her heart didn't beat.
"Tara!" Willow screamed. "Please, say something!"
"Willow..." Giles said, but she ignored him.
"Tara, come on, baby, please! Don't leave me!"
"Willow." He said again. And again, she ignored him.
"Tara, please! Say something! Come back to me!"
"Willow!" Giles shouted. Finally, she looked up at him. "She's... She's gone..." He said softly, tears streaming down his aged face.
"NO!" Willow screamed again. For a second, Giles thought she might turn dark again, but instead, she just bowed her head into Tara's lifeless body and sobbed. "Say something." Willow pleaded softly.
But no response came. She was gone.
A soft music started, and the sound matched what Willow felt perfectly. Empty.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you." Willow sobbed. "Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'll be the one, if you want me to. Anywhere, I would've followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you!
"And I am feeling so small. It was over my head, I know nothing at all. And I will stumble and fall. I'm still learning to love, just starting to crawl.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you. Anywhere, I would've followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you!
"And I will swallow my pride. You're the one that I love, and I'm saying goodbye.
"Say something, I'm giving up on you. I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you. Anywhere, I would've followed you. Say something, I'm giving up on you!
"Say something, I'm giving up on you... Say something..." The music faded slowly, and Willow sat there, sobbing into Tara's body for hours until she fell into unconsciousness, exhausted, and Giles carried her out of the sewers, then went back for Tara.
