The Night Of Long Knives

[wt4eva]

Hi. This is my first w/t fic so it may not be that good. I'm still writing it so the posts may come few and far between. Any feedback is welcome.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters they are the property of JW I am only borrowing them for a while and promise to give them back when I'm finished.



Willow was having a bad night. She was having trouble sleeping and when she was asleep she couldn't stay like it for very long. She was tossing and turning all over the bed unable to find a comfortable spot to get some rest on. Her face was a picture of worry and concern as she dreamt of Tara.



In her dream Dawn and Tara were walking down a beautiful sun lit street in Sunnydale when they were jumped but muggers, pure and simple muggers, one was tall with long, strong looking arms all Tara could see of his face were his eyes they were a brilliant blue full of sparkle and life. The other was short and stocky with short arms that didn't look like they could life a can of beans let alone hurt somebody, his eyes were also blue but they were cold and lifeless.

The short one knocked Dawn to the ground and started rummaging through her discarded bag. Tara was putting up a good fight against the tall one but unable to use magic against her attackers, as they were only human, she was going to loose eventually he was much stronger than she was after all.

He made a grab for her and caught one of her arms; he held it tight and moved in to get the other one. The tall man held her tight she struggled but it was hopeless he was to strong and Dawn was out cold on the floor. I'm going to die thought Tara, I'm really gonna die here.

The short man threw down Dawns bag and advanced on her. He was walking over very slowly flexing what little muscles he had. He was almost up to her as he put his right hand into his pocket and pulled out a knife.

He got very close to Tara and she didn't like it much, he bent his neck into her neck and sniffed as though he was trying to smell the fear that must have been showing on her face and in her eyes.

It was over very quickly he grabbed her and forced the knife through her fibs and into her heart.

She died instantly.



Willow sat bolt upright, breathing heavily her eyes darting around her bedroom. After a few minutes she got her breath back and reached over the bed to the phone where she dialled Giles' number.

After a few tense rings Giles picked put.



'Hello?' Giles answered groggily

'Hi Giles it's Willow is Tara there?'

'Well yes she is but it's very late, Willow, she's asleep,'

'I know I'm really sorry but I need to talk to her!'

'Ok hold on I'll just get her,'

'Thanks,'



There was a soft click as Giles put the phone on the table. Willow could hear voices but couldn't make out who it was or what they were saying.



'Hello. What’s wrong?' Tara asked her voice filled with concern

'Nothing's really wrong. I just had a bad dream about you, it was bad, and I wanted to see it you were ok. You died, it was bad, Dawn and you went shopping it was bad. Ok I'm babbling I'll shut up now. Are you ok baby?'

'I'm fine. Dawn and I went shopping but nothing happened. I think you should try to calm down and try to get back to sleep,'

'But I can't get to sleep without you I get all worried,'

'Willow this was supposed to be alone time for YOU with your mother,'

'I know but I want you here as well. Please baby?'

'I don't know,'

'Pretty please with a cherry on top?'

'Oh ok I'll be over soon,'

'Yay, I love you baby!' Willow squeaked

'I love you too. Bye,'

'Bye,'



Tara hung up the phone and turned to Giles.



'Willow found something to do with the new evil in town she want me to go over to her mothers so she can show me,'



Tara lied as she pulled on a pair of pants over her PJ bottoms.



'Hmmm. Oh of course would you like me to give you a lift?'

'If you don't mind. It's very late you don't have to,'

'No. Of course I'll take you it's no bother just let me find the car keys,'



Willow was absentmindedly pacing in front of the living room window waiting for any sign of a car or Tara coming up the path. She didn't want to wake her mother so she was going to have to get the door before Tara rang the bell.



As Willow paced for the millionth time car headlights flashed through the window and she saw Tara get out of Giles shiny new red sports car. Willow half ran half walked to the door as Tara walked up the path, she flung the door open and pulled Tara inside and in to a tight hug.



'You're OK. You're OK,' Willow recited into Tara's shoulder.



Tara pulled Willow away just enough to look into her eyes.



'It really must have been a bad dream for you to react like this?' Tara gently whispered

'It was, it was awful. I don't want anything like that to happen to you in a dream or in real life ever again,' Willow answered as she pulled Tara's jacket off.

'Well as you can see nothing has happened to me. I'm fine I promise you,'

'You do look fine but I gotta check,' Willow's voice dropped as she spoke. She threw Tara's jacket to the floor and began to unbutton Tara's PJ top.

'I don't suppose a little checking will hurt anybody,'

[Grimlock72]

Heh, a little checking...



Anyway, please use a LOT more spacing. I.e. more space between the lines and definitly more paragraphs (empty lines between blocks of text). Esp. the first half is kinda hard to read now, almost looks like a Willow bable



Strange disclaimer you have by the way: " I don't know the characters", that must make it hard to write about them



I do wonder how come Willow dreamt about something so vividly which obviously didn't happen, and since Tara already went shopping with Dawn it doesn't seem to be a future thing either... odd...

Thanks for the advise Grimlock I'll bear it in mind for the next posts. And so to the next part of the story.



Finally Willow reached the top button and pulled the top open discovering that Tara wasn’t wearing a bra.

‘No bra baby?’

‘You know how it chafes when I sleep,’ Tara replied

‘Yeah but with Giles and everybody sleeping over there I thought you might have put up with it,’

‘I tried but I couldn’t. Anyway wasn’t there some checking you were supposed to be doing?’

‘Oh yeah,’ Willow answered as she finished taking off Tara’s top. Running her hands down Tara’s sides Willow bent her head and gently kissed the side of Tara’s left breast.

‘This is where the knife went in baby. It seems everything here is ok but there are other places to check,’



Willow kissed a diagonal line from the side of Tara’s breast to her heart. Kissing over Tara’s breast she just missed her nipple, Tara let out a small barely audible moan.



‘And this is where the knife ended,’ Willow added kissing Tara’s skin again ‘How is your heart?’

‘Fine,’ Was all Tara could manage to say her voice dropping a note or two as she spoke.

‘I love you baby,’ Willow said gently caressed Tara’s soft skin.

‘I love you too,’ Tara replied as she pulled Willows vest off. She dropped it to the floor and took in the fact that Willow was also not wearing a bra.

‘Hey look at you with no bra,’

‘Well there bad girls like to be free at night,’

‘Don’t I know it!’



Willow pulled Tara into a tight, but quick, hug. She pulled away and captured Tara’s lips in a passionate kiss which quickly grew as she tried to get access with her tongue. Tara allowed Willow’s tongue in and began dueling it with her own. Suddenly Tara pulled away.



‘Willow I know where this is gonna end up and you mother is only upstairs what if she hears us and comes down in the middle of……everything?’

‘Tara, baby, everything will be fine we’ll just have to be extra quiet,’

‘Willow I could never be quiet with you,’ Tara replied a cheeky grin playing on her lips.

‘Well if you want I could gag you?’

Tara paused as if considering the suggestion.

‘No. I’ll be quiet I promise.’

‘Ok, cool,’

‘Now where were we?’

‘As if you don’t know,’

That was a cliffhanger rite rite? lol, if so, It shouldn't be, you should continue right where you left off, at that exact second! lol, and I wonder what would happen if Willow's mom came downstairs or something? hmm, lets wonder! lol, keep up the greatness!

Willow: "I'm a breast gal myself...(quieter to Tara) but then again you knew that..."

Tara: "Until I realized that was her yummy face"

Willow: "There's something between us. It-it wasn't something I was looking for. It's just powerful."

This may be very bad but it is my firts attempt at writing a love scene.



Willow captured Tara’s lips in a kiss, her tongue beginning the battle with Tara’s again. Tara’s hands played in Willows hair pulling her closer, one hand slipped out and began caressing Willows breasts gently pinching her nipples until they were hard.



Tara could feel herself getting hotter and hotter even though she was semi naked in Willows cool living room.



Willow was running her hands up and down Tara’s back taking in the soft feel of her skin, when her hands found Tara’s bra clasp she undid it and slowly slipped it off and dropped it to the floor then began to fondle Tara’s breasts.



Tara let out a small gasp and moved down to kiss Willow’s neck and sucking on her pulse point. Willow groaned and moved her head to give Tara more room.



Upstairs a light flicked on but both girls were too wrapped up in each other to notice.



Tara began slowly pushing Willow back to the sofa. When Willow’s calf’s hit the cushion she bent her knees and pulled away from Tara as she sat down.



Tara pouted a little as her lips where pulled from her lovers neck but it didn’t last for long as Willow pulled Tara down to sit on her lap facing her.



Tara quickly replaced her lips on to Willow’s skin and began kissing up and down her neck. Moving lower Tara latched on to Willow’s right breast and slowly traced her tongue around Willow’s nipple.



Willow moaned and arched her back willing Tara to suck on her nipple. Tara readily replied and gently began sucking on Willow’s nipple.



Just then there was a loud bang outside the living room door and Willow’s mother walked in.



‘Girls!!’

[Tempest Duer]

Congratulations, you've written your first love scene. It's very sweet and sensual....



Of course.... Willow's mother has a pretty bad sense of timing. But I'd love to see more. So I'll be waiting.

[Doppelganger5x5]

Hey, i like the story a lot so far. The title reminds me of the Buffy book series Unseen, cuz in the books its like all about a ritual called Night of the Long Knives. Is that where you got it from or did you come up with it on your own?...Dont worry, that was a pretty great love scene, although i gotta say im not loving moms timing! Keep writing and update soon please

Sorry everyone ive been really busy hence the long wait for this update feel free to hate me.



Tara quickly detached herself from willow and grabbed a cushion to cover her bare chest with, Willow also covered herself with the other cushion.



‘What’s going on here?’ exclaimed Willow’s mother.



‘It’s not what it looks like, honestly,’ both girls clambered to explain what was going on but failed, miserably.



After a minute of stunned silence Willow took a breath and spoke up.



‘What are you doing down here anyway, I thought you were in bed?’



‘I….. I heard noises coming form down here and I came to find out what it was. I guess I shouldn’t have.’ Sheila looked up at both girls with what could only be guilt in her eye.



'No mom, you had every right to come down it's your house afterall. Tara and I sould have been more discrete.'



'I'm, no, we're sorry!' Tara looked up at the mention of her name but couldn't quite meet Mrs. Rosenburg eye.



'I think I'm going to get a glass of water and go back to bed. Good night Willow, good night Tara,'



'Night mom.'



'N-Night Mrs Rosenburg.'



'Please call me Sheila from now on, Mrs Rosenburg sound so official.'



'O-Ok, s-sorry.' Tara didn't look up at all while she was talking to Mrs Rosenburg.



Mrs Rosenburg walked into the into the kitchen and got a glass of water, the embarrassment of walking in on her daughter was evident in every hurried step that she took.

Once she had left Tara let out a long breath she didn't even know she was holding.



'Baby are you ok?' Willow asked softly as Tara slowly sat down on the sofa.



'Maybe I should go. I-I could call M-Mr Giles he could come and get me,' Tara looked down all the while she was talking.

[bluewillowwitch]

wt4eva ,

Loved the update even if it was a short one. That had to be the worst. I would have dropped dead if my mom had walked in on me and my girlfriend. Can't wait to more. Update soon, please?

That was nicely handled. I tip my imaginary hat to the girls for saving face in front of Willow's mother like that, I sure wouldn't have been able to do that.



Poor Tara, she's so insecure. I guess we'll just have to wait for Willow to show her she doesn't have to be.

Willow: Hey Buff. One more thing. Buffy: Yeah? Willow: I’m gay. Buffy: Okay, Will. Xander owes me ten bucks.
