[reviews]
Thanks again to angie and her Interns, and to my groupie this next chapter is dedicated to you. since you missed this last chapter.
Willow looked deep into Tara's eyes and smiled, finally realizing just how much power her ex truly possessed. Where the shy blonde had once kept it locked down inside, she now had no other choice .Tara had to release her power in order to battle with Willow. Here and now in the basement , but the real question was would she be able to survive the emotional battle that Willow had in mind? Probally not, and Willow was going to play every card. "You actually think you can defeat me Tara?"
"I will try Willow, I'll fight you . I need to explain what happened, all you saw was us together. It's not Buffy's fault it was mine."
"I don't want to..."
"No you don't but you will, you will listen and if you don't so help me goddess I will kick your ass until you do." Willow watched Tara, her eyes black as coal. she could feel Tara's heat beat racing, she was afraid and Willow liked it. "I charmed Buffy with a spell, not because I wanted to. Because I had to." Willow was now even more confused then before, but she listening. "I've done many wrong things,and so have you. You remember the initiative right?" Willow nodded, she couldn't wait to hear this excuse. "They came and took Kennedy .They beat her, and roughed me up too. They wanted me to make you evil again, angry enough to destroy the world. They knew the only way to do it was for me to sleep with the one person you loved more then anything."
"Stop." Willow looked at Tara with uncertain eyes. "Your telling me that the initative wants me all vainy and evil again, so I can destory the world?"
"Not just that, they want to harvest you power. Suck your energy. You have to calm down or they'll find you and maybe even kill you. I never wanted this Willow, I never wanted to hurt you." Willow was hurt, she felt so much pain, she could hardly stand it.
"You broke my heart, you tore it open. when I saw you and Buffy... o goddess!" she turned and ran to Buffy, her eyes glistening with tears had now returned to their emerald green. "Buffy, can you hear me? Baby please open you eyes, I am so, so sorry." she pulled Buffy into a tight embrace rocking her. "Goddess I am so sorry." She kissed Buffy's lips and smiled when her lovers eyes fluttered open. "forgive me."
"Always."
