Tired of Waiting
Jan. 8th, 2010 07:54 amThis has got to’ve been the best four days of my life. She’s absolutely amazing. I don’t know what I was thinking. Sure, the terms ‘fear’ and ‘rejection’ spring to mind, but I should’ve known better. It’s Willow. Buffy's thoughts filtered across her waking brain and she responded to the warm body lying next to her.
What got her to open her eyes were the strands of hair tickling her mouth. Spitting the strands out, she turned and was confronted by a grinning witch. She smiled back and placed a light peck on her lips. The blonde’s voice was gravelly and thick with sleep when she asked, “Hey you, what time is it?”
Willow smiled cheerily and said, “Would you believe me if I told you it was six a.m.?”

Beautiful Trash
Jan. 8th, 2010 08:33 amOn the trip back to the apartment, Willow was able to ground most of the energy she had channeled. Working a small glamour, she masked her dark hair and eyes. What she couldn’t suppress were the waves of nausea that rolled through her system. She had broken out into a cold sweat during the cab ride home and her body began to shiver on the elevator ride up. It was worth it though. Sick or not. Withdraws or not. He needed that. Just hope Buffy can forgive me. Inhaling a deep breath, Willow suppressed the urge to vomit and tried to gain control of her body.
Willow entered the apartment first and was smothered in an embrace before she made it halfway through the entry. Her assailant was a one-eyed father-to-be. Xander held tight to his lifelong friend until a few loud coughs from two slayers caused him to let go.
Laughing, Willow pulled back and smiled. “I’ve missed you too, Xander.”
Xander turned his attention to Dawn and Kennedy. He had Dawn off of her feet in a bear hug before she could say a word.

Furious and Outdone
Jan. 8th, 2010 08:34 amWillow walked aimlessly down the sidewalk, watching the cracks as they moved under her feet.
How, how could they think that things are okay between everyone? Are they really that stupid? Sure, I can be slow on the uptake, but having them here is messing with Buffy.I can’t let that happen. They’ve chosen their path when it comes to my slayer. I’m trying to right the things that went wrong.
Bringing them here was a mistake. I shouldn’t have called and neither should she. Leaving them alone and letting them live their lives was the best solution. She was right to move here. I think I went and screwed that up for her too.
When she suddenly realized she had no idea where she was going, she stopped. After taking a quick glance around her, she set off at a brisk pace for the end of the block.

Fallen Angel
Jan. 8th, 2010 08:36 amWillow shut the book she was reading with a thump. Deeply bored and a little frustrated, she rubbed her eyes and stretched. Three days down the tubes. Three whole days since things went all flooey with the others and nothing.
Sorting through the morgue paperwork one more time, she went through her list: three different causes of death, no ritual markings… The only reason this is even a ‘Scooby’ thing is because of the IDs they’ve been finding on the bodies.
What the frilly heck am I doing? I’m not… This is more cop stuff. ’Kay, so, cop stuff…think like a cop, maybe? But I’m not a cop, I’m a Wiccan! Neatly stacking the papers, she returned them to the manila envelope.
