Tara looked at Willow and smiled.

"I'll be fine." She tried to reassure Willow.

"I just wish you would tell me where you were going, or better yet, take me with you. This is break, we were going to spend it together, remember?" Willow's voice changed as she teased her girlfriend.

"I know Will, but this is only a few days, I promise I'll be okay. I need to do this."

"Since you won’t tell me what you're doing" Willow stuck her tongue out playfully "I'll just have to take your word for it. Be safe."

"Oh I will, I’ll even bring you a present." Willow giggled a little before leaning in to kiss Tara goodbye.

"I'll be back before you know it, don’t worry. Just remember I love you."

(BETWEEN WHO ARE YOU AND SUPERSTAR)

Willow walked out of the room and Tara turned to flop herself onto the bed.

{{Why didn’t she tell me? She mustn’t have known I would find out. God, how could something like that happen to her, and what she did}} Tara wiped the tears from her face. {{Sure, knowing things about someone you care about is good, I knew that spell would bring us closer together, but I didn’t think I would see things in her mind.}} Tara leaned over and pulled a book from under her bed.

"Shit" she said after reading the spell again. {{So what I saw really happened.}}

"Why did I have to know that?" she asked "Why did I have to see that bit of Willow's past? Why do I need to know every detail of that night, why?" Tara started sobbing again.

(DURING CHOICES)

Faith advanced on Willow, knife pointed at her throat.

"Looks like I’m the one in charge now Red. Funny, I think my way is better…. Now what am I gonna do?"

Faith smiled as a thought entered her mind. Willow, sensing the slayer's distraction, started to recite a spell, hoping to escape.

"Wait Red, what the hell are you doing? Oh. Sorry babe, you can’t use your little witchy powers on me.

Now. Mayor had some groovy little device, said it would mix you all up. Guess that means I get to play."

"Buffy will be coming to get me." Willow threatened weakly.

"Hell Red, who wouldn’t? And that was my very idea."

{{What is she talking about?}} Willow worried, the puzzlement reflected on her face.

"You know me Red, get all worked up after a good slay, so what do you say?"

{{She doesn’t mean that. No. How could she even think that about me?}} "Nuh uh Faith. I really don’t…"

"You don’t...yeah, you don’t, get a say." Faith spat angrily, pushing the knife further along Willow's neck.

"Stand still witch. If you know what’s good for ya you'll do what you're told. You're right, Buffy will be coming for you. Now don’t you wanna be clothed when she comes?"

{{She’s…. But how… why me…? }} Willow couldn’t think properly.

Faith leaned forward and pulled Willow into a deep kiss. One hand in the witch's red hair, the other still holding tightly to the knife.

"Mmm Red, didn’t know you would want more of this." Faith joked as she pulled the scared witch into a side room and carefully removed her clothes.

{{What am I gonna do? Buffy won’t know I’m here, how will she save me before Faith kills me, she doesn’t have much time.}}

"I’m sure you know what I’m wanting, remember I’m willing to use it." Faith said quietly, putting her knife on a low shelf. "And remember what slayer reflexes are like, don’t try and get it yourself Red."

Faith grabbed Willow's head, kissing her long and hard, her tongue pushing its way into Willow's mouth. Willow tried to resist but found her arm twisted behind her back roughly.

"Play nice, or else." Faith said into her ear before biting it playfully and letting the arm go.

{{I can’t do this, I just can’t do this. What do I do? I mean, it's not like being with a guy, what if she doesn’t like what I do and… oh}}

Willow hesitantly kissed Faith's neck, uncertain, small, light kisses. Stopping to nibble an earlobe. She heard a soft moan from Faith.

{{ Keep it up then. If she likes it, I must be doing something right.}}

Faith's hands reached around Willow's head, gently guiding them both to the floor.

{{Don’t think about it, just do it Willow. I’m naked, on top of a psycho slayer, while being held hostage. Thinking can wait until I won’t freak.}}

Faith smiled as Willow reached up under her top, taking her breasts in her hands.

Willow smiled at Faith, her eyes were closed, mouth open, breathing heavily. Leaning forward, she pushed Faith's top up, exposing the breasts she was playing with.

{{She’s beautiful}} Willow thought absently as she took a nipple into her mouth and began sucking softly, kissing around it, lightly biting.

{{Bloody hell, how the fuck did Red do this to me? I can't let her do this, it must be a diversion to get away.}} Faith sat up reluctantly, pulling Willow up with her.

"Why should you get all the fun?" Faith said as she lay Willow down, moving her body to cover the witch's.

"Faith, I don’t want…"

"You have a visitor, Faith." the nurse said opening the door for her. Faith looked up from her book.

"Um, hi." Tara started unsure what to say to the girl in front of her. Faith just sat looking at her.

"I’m Tara, we haven’t been introduced, we met when you were in Buffy’s body though."

"Oh yeah, um, sorry about those things I said, hey?" Faith said standing up "What are you doing here?"

"I came to see you. I need to talk to you, is there somewhere we could go?" Faith nodded and opened the door. Tara followed.

"So, you came to see me, why?" Faith asked as they sat down on a bench.

"I need to talk to you before you come back to Sunnydale"

"Who said I was coming to Sunnydale?" Faith eyed Tara suspiciously.

"Willow. You do know Willow and I are seeing each other?"

Faith nodded reluctantly.

"She talked to me about the letter you sent her. I brought it up, I noticed it in her pocket."

"Oh" Faith said, lost for words.

"I know this is going to sound strange Faith, even more so as we don’t actually know each other. I want you to come back to Sunnydale, what’s more, I know Willow wants you there."

Faith held up her hand "Wait a minute. Willow want's me there? You're going out with her, and even her wanting me there and all, you want me there? What the hell are you…?"

"Faith" Tara interrupted, taking the slayer's hand in her own. "I know all about your history with Willow. Some of it she's told me herself, some I know because we share magick. Some of the spells we've done have shown me things I would've rather not known, but you've both dealt with your feelings of that time, so I did also."

Faith shook her head.

"YOU know, no way. You know and you’re here talking to me? You of all people, you love her so you’re here talking to her rapist, asking her to move back?"

"Faith, I know what happened that night, I know all of it."

(DURING CHOICES cont.)

Willow felt the cold metal of Faith's knife on her bare stomach.

"Strangely enough, I don’t care, and you..." Faith made a small cut in Willow's skin to emphasize her point, "don’t get a say, remember?"

Faith leaned forward and kissed the cut she'd made, the metallic taste of Willow's blood sent a shiver through her body.

"This could be good for ya Red. Least you can say you were forced. We’ll have something in common then. But I intend to make you like this."

{{Share this? She wants to make me like this?...oh I wish my brain would work,}}

Faith interrupted Willow's thoughts as she took one of Willow's nipples into her mouth and began sucking.

A moan escaped Willow's lips. Faith smiled and kissed her way to Willow's other nipple.

{{Is this what it felt like for Faith?}} Willow wondered, {{Is this what it should feel like when someone forces you?}} Once again Willow was interrupted as Faith used her knife on Willow's chest, drawing more blood.

Faith was leaving a small trail of cuts all over the witch's body. "Magic won't help." Faith commented when Willow tried to heal herself. "Remember, Mayor's gadget, just you and me."

"What did he do?" Willow asked, not expecting an answer.

"Dunno, didn’t ask."

Willow was about to say something else when she felt Faith slide down her body and push open her legs.

"Well, looky what I found." Faith said in a stupid voice that make Willow giggle for a second.

{{Goddess help me. Why am I laughing? She’s raping me and I’m laughing, I’m enjoying it. What is wrong with me?}}

Faith lay her knife on Willow's leg, letting the edge cut into her flesh. She leaned forward and licked the blood off. {{ I don’t think I'd have any problem being a vamp.}} she thought absently before returning her attention to Willow.

{{It’s so cold. How can that knife still be so cold?}}

Willow screamed as Faith suddenly pushed her fingers inside of the witch.

"Shut up and enjoy Red" Faith growled "You never get another first. I would have said you were enjoying yourself."

"How would you know…" Willow started to yell back but found herself moaning as Faith started to lick her.

"That would be how I know." Faith said grinning, before continuing the slow torture that was Willow's first time.

Willow bucked her hips, moaning Faith's name as she came.

Faith slowly pulled her fingers out of the witch, kissing her way up the flushed body.

"There, now what did I tell you?" Faith leaned forward kissing Willow's lips.

{{Never thought she would go like that. Shit, she looked so dam sexy when she was all moaning and stuff. And she didn’t pass out. Though I might have scared her to death, pure thing that she was.}}

Willow leaned into the kiss, sitting up enough to push Faith so she was lying down.

"Huh? Red, what're you doing?"

# # # # # # #

"How can you just sit there?" Faith was yelling at Tara.

"Sit down and shut up Faith." Tara finally said, pulling the slayer back down onto the bench.

"Wow. Didn’t know you had it in ya." Faith said a little surprised.

"You don't know a lot of stuff Faith. You don't know what it's like for me to be so in love with Willow and know that she still likes you. You don’t know what it's like knowing what happened between the two of you and not being able to tell anyone, not even Willow. She is so scared to tell me about it in case I know how she feels about you, still feels about you. I'm there, I talk to her, she is opening up to me, telling me things, she trusts me. Sure I’m scared about you coming back to Sunnydale. I’m scared she'll run back to you as soon as you get there. I’m scared you'll do something to hurt them again. But do you know why you have to go back? Because you need to finish what you started, you need to see her again, you need to see Buffy, Giles, everyone. I know this, I even told you that."

Faith was sitting with her mouth open. She hadn’t expected Tara to say anything like this, let alone so much of it. She tried to say something but no sound would come out of her mouth.

"You need to be back in the group Faith, you need to be fighting on the right side in Sunnydale. I will help you if I can, but please come."

"You really know every thing and you still want to help?" Faith finally asked.

Tara squeezed Faith's hand and nodded.

"I know the truth."

"Shhhhhh" Willow held her finger up to her lips "Like you said, why should you get all the fun?"

{{ What is wrong with the girl? I just fucked her and she’s looking at me all turned on. And she's undressing me… and kissing me.}} Faith looked around for the knife. {{ Still beside me, she gets any funny ideas I don’t care what she's worth to me… or the boss… I’ll kill her.}}

"You don’t wanna do this Red."

"Wrong Faith." Willow pulled Faith up and helped her take her clothes off. Slowly kissing the slayer all over.

{{Shit, she's turning me to jelly doing that. Fuck, this feels good. Why is she doing this?}}

"Now Faith, I remember what you want." Willow said huskily, practically pouncing on top of the dark slayer.

"Red, Willow, oh god… Wwwiiillllooowww" Faith screamed as she came.

" Goodness me" the Mayor said from the doorway. "What a sight. Who would have though my lovely Faith would go that way. Guess I should remember that at my ascension, keep some girls around for her." The Mayor turned and started to walk out " Now Faith, get dressed, we need to talk" as he went and sat down.

Willow slowly put her clothes on, conscious of Faith's eyes watching her.

"Ahhh..." she hissed as she brushed a particularly deep cut.

Faith moved to help her.

"Um, thank you Red" she said quietly.

Willow's head shot up in surprise. Faith leaned forward and kissed her gently.

{{Will she ever stop surprising me?}} Willow wondered, shaking her head as Faith blanched. She had picked up her knife. It was covered in Willow's blood.

"So what’s up Boss?" Faith asked bouncing into the next room.

"Well, I just received one heck of a phone call…."

# # # # # # #

"So does Red know you’re here?" Faith asked Tara as they walked back inside.

"Nope, I didn’t tell her. I didn’t want her to worry, or get any silly ideas about joining me."

"So, how long you staying?"

"Few days, I was going to stay with a friend who lives..."

"Would you stay here?" Faith asked suddenly "I mean, you can if you want. I have an extra room."

"Sure Faith, I would love to." {{Goddess, she already likes me enough to go all giddy. What will she be like after I’ve spent a few days with her? Guess there's nothing I can do about it. Things will work out how they're meant to, if somewhat strangely, so be it.}}

"What you thinking?" Faith asked childishly.

"Just about us Faith" Tara said smiling
