"You missed me? I was only gone for like ten minutes."
"I know," she says as she pouts, " but I was having Buffy withdrawals." I lean over and kiss her pout away.
"Feeling better Ms. Needy?" I ask her as we get into the line to board the plane.
"Hey that's not fair I'm not needy." I have to suppress a laugh, "I'm spoiled. And you can't get mad it's your own fault. You've been showering me with attention since you orbed onto the porch."
*Hmm...I guess you are right....maybe I should stop if this is the reaction I get* I smirk.
"you'd better not missy...I needs my smoochies."
The flight attendant makes the call for the rest of the passengers to board.
"Come on Will. We don't want to miss our flight." Buffy grabs my hand and I reluctantly get on the plane. Her and I are seated next to each other, I have to remember to thank Giles for that. I'm starting to feel really nervous, I have no idea what's going to happen at this coven and Buffy hasn't told me anything.
*What if I'm starting to become evil and they have to strip my powers?!*
Buffy takes my hand in hers, "Sweetie that's not going to happen. They are going to purify your magic and make you stronger."
"What else is going to happen Buffy? You aren't telling me something I can tell, and you're blocking your thoughts."
"Willow", she looks me straight in the eyes, I can see all the love in them, "I'm sorry I'm blocking you out, but I can't tell you what going to happen ok? If I do, the Elders will not let me stay with you through this. Do you want to go this alone?"
"I guess not, but I don't like going into something that I know nothing about Buffy, it makes me nervous." She leans over and kisses me softly, *it's going to be fine Will, you have me and I'll never let anything bad happen to you alright. Now try and get some sleep, it's a long flight.* I kiss her this time more passionate but not too much cause we do have a long flight.
"I love you Buffy." I say as I lay my head on her lap and fall asleep.
Willow finally fell asleep. I didn't know how much more of her questioning I could've taken. I can understand that she is nervous and going into this whole training thing blind, but there's only so much I can take. I want to tell her that everything will be okay, but I know that I can't. She's sleeping soundly now. I reach into my bag and take out a vile and a syringe...*I'm so sorry Willow* I fill the syringe with the solution in the vile and insert it into my sleeping Willow's arm. I put the bottle and syringe back into my purse. *it's for the best*. I have to keep telling myself that...it's for the best. Restricting Willow's magic is for the best, it's the first step in her cleansing process. The Elders told me to put a stop to Willow's magic, but I couldn't so...Giles gave a drug that will suppress Willow's powers temporarily. I relax back into my seat and look at my watch...damn we're going to be on this plane forever...I don't understand why the coven has to have wards over them to prevent people from orbing...oh well. Willow moves a little bit to get comfortable I guess. I lean my chair back and ask the flight attendant for a couple blankets. I cover Willow and myself before falling asleep. Next stop: London.
