Chapter 23

Spike stopped his movements inside her, unsure of what to do.

"No, keep going!" she exclaimed, "don't stop."

He started to thrust again, her sudden stopping had stopped him cold, but as soon as he started to move and her walls started to clench around him, he felt that his orgasm was approaching, and if
he knew anything about his girl, and he did, hers was fast approaching as
well. He was fixated on the light that coiled out from her breastbone and
was spreading over him, encompassing him. It warmed him, caressed him
and caused the need to thrust faster urgent within him. His own dead heart
felt as if it would start beating again.

"Buffy," he gasped. "What is it doing?"

"It's my love," she whispered and then moved, moving her leg up more on
his waist, causing her to open even more for him. "I was thinking—oh
God—of you and how I love you and it came out of me."

"Christ Buffy!" Reaching frantically between them, he flicked her clit and in
seconds her walls were fluttering and she exploded. He let himself go and
still felt that brilliant light cover him. She held onto him tightly, her nails
digging into his shoulders, her breathing ragged.

"Buffy, are you all right? Are you in pain?"

She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "No, it feels so good. You and
me, we created this."

"You created it. You're the Light Bearer remember?" he grinned softly at
her.

"No, you did too. I was thinking of YOU. Without you I wouldn't have been
able to do it."

Leaning in, he kissed her gently. "I feel warm," he whispered against her
lips.

"You do. Does it hurt at all?"


"No. I feel . . . I feel like I'm in a warm cocoon and you're all around me."

"I think I really like what I am," she said tearfully.

Spike smiled, "I do too. But then, I've always been fond of you."

She smiled sappily and kissed him. "This is how to fight the Darkness."

Spike's brow furrowed. "By loving it?"

"In a manner of speaking. By encompassing it with this light."

"That means you'd have to get it to stay still first. It's going to be all over

you the minute you show your face."

"I'm thinking I could encompass at least a room. We'd need the gang. . . "

"The gang?"

"You, Giles and Willow."


"Ah, the other chosen ones."

"Yep. Which means we have to get to Willow before she's taken completely
under."

"Baby, we should have a plan first before we go storming in there."

She pulled her head back. "Since when do you come up with plans? I
thought you were all action guy."

"When it comes to my family, I'm all about the plans."

"You won't lose us."

"You know how to defeat it now. Don't you think it knows how to defeat
you?"

"I guess I never really thought about that part."

"How could you not?"

"I didn't think I was going to lose."



"I think at this point Buffy, Willow might be a moot point," Giles pointed
out later on as they all congregated in the living room. Buffy sat with Spike
at her side, his arm around her. Joyce sat across the room, perched on her
rocking chair, and Giles and Whistler paced.

"You're probably right," Buffy sighed. "Tara's more than likely gotten to
her. Willow's a powerful witch, of course The Darkness is going to want to
use her. Especially now since I foiled its plan to get Spike and turn
everyone against me."

"Now it'll just be out to destroy you," Whistler said matter of factly.

"Hey!" Spike burst out warningly. "My mate and my wife, not to mention
the mother of my baby you're talking about here."

"It's okay, baby," Buffy patted his knee. "He's, unfortunately, right. The
Darkness will now be out to get me with even more a vengeance than
before. It has to know I've gotten to you all, so it's probably going to be
after all of us now." Her head jerked to a fearful Joyce. "Shit," she
muttered. "I really need to start thinking things through."

"You had to pull resources Buffy. You did what you could at the time.
Besides, at least here we're united. If anything, it gives us the added
advantage," Giles pointed out.

"Buffy, you said that you were able to encompass Spike while hugging
right?" Joyce brought up.

Buffy fought the blush that was coming on at that lie. It didn't help when
Spike smirked. She elbowed him gently. "Yeah, what are you thinking
mom?"

"So, if you're thinking that by encompassing The Darkness with your light,
which is full of love, it will force The Darkness out of Tara's body?"

"Right."

"Do you think if it can do that, then perhaps it can be used to protect as
well?"

Buffy bolted up. "Mom! You're genius!"

"Like a force field?" Giles asked.

Whistler nudged him. "Give her a minute would you? The girls on to
something."

"All right, all this time The Darkness has used its magic to control you all.
It turned you against me and made you side with Tara instead. Well, if I
my light can reach out and ‘touch' others, that is, if it can encompass others
as The Darkness' mojo encompassed all of you, then if I work my little light
magic, you guys will then be immune to what she'll be dishing out. And if I
know The Darkness, which I don't—" she broke off and laughed at that "—
then it'll be pulling out the heavy artillery. Most definitely with Willow

there. If I can cover all of you at least, then a room."

"Do you think Tara will want to come to you? If you can sense her
Darkness, won't she be able to sense your light?" Spike pointed out.

Buffy looked over at Whistler who nodded. "Well, I don't think that The

Darkness is going to just walk away with its tail between its legs either. It's
probably itching to throw down with me as much as I'm itching to throw

down with it. It'll come after me."

Spike grabbed her hand, tugging on her and bringing her back down to
him. "I don't like this at all," he told her.

"Neither do I. But it's the only way."


"I believe my house should be the place in which we lure it in," Giles
offered. "Too much to explain if it were here. If we have to confine it, then
it should be there. We can use the magic room downstairs and set up our
supplies there."

"I'm thinking tons of Rose Quartz for this one," Buffy suggested.


"Rose Quartz?" Joyce questioned.

"The love stone," Spike explained.

Joyce nodded. "Will I be part of this?"

"No mom, I don't want you to get stuck in the crossfire."

"However," Spike started. "She also shouldn't be left here alone. If Tara
gets wind at all that she's alone, she'll go for the jugular, Buffy."


"Right. Good point. Then she can stay in Giles' bedroom."

Giles turned beat red and Joyce looked away, blushing.

"At the rate they're going, it'll probably be the only way she'll actually get
to see it," Spike muttered, but loud enough so that everyone heard. Giles
started furiously cleaning his glasses and Joyce bolted up to get snacks.

"Spike!" Buffy swatted him. "That's still my MOTHER."

Spike chuckled.

"So your plan is to get Tara and Willow to the house and for you to work
your Light?" Whistler asked.

"Yes. Not the most elaborate plan, but I believe it's the only way. If I can
just get Tara in there long enough to surround her and drive The Darkness

out of her body, we'll be fine."

"We better get going then, make sure we have back up just in case," Giles
put in, putting his glasses back on.

"Right," Buffy nodded, suddenly feeling nervous.

"Ready to practice your magick, sister?" Whistler asked, grinning.

"I think so bro."

"You think so?"

She smiled. "I know so."
