Me, I'm just having a little strictly non-profit fun here. Other than that, this story is mine. Mine mine mine. If you've got some mad urge to repost it, drop me a line at sc@mindless.com first. Had this idea for a while, but it took me a few years to get off my lazy ass and rewrite it. But as far as I can recall, nothing happened on the show in those years to say this couldn't have been what happened during the fifth season episode "Tough Love" between when Willow opens the book and when she shows up at Glory's place. *** Pure, raw rage had gotten Willow this far. It had gotten her to the Magic Box, to the book she wasn't supposed to have been able to open, to the spell she wasn't supposed to have known about. It got her through the spell that would keep anyone from paying any attention to what was about to happen in the alley behind the shop. (Not to hard; it was Sunnydale, after all.) It got her through the preparations, the drawing of the sigils, the removal of her clothes, the beginning of the chant. But now, lying spread-eagled and naked in the chalked pentagram on the filthy alley pavement, a cool breeze blew over her pale skin and a sliver of rational thought crept into her mind. She hesitated. This was dark magic, very dark, unlike any spell she had even considered before, let alone tried. What she knew of what was about to happen was bad, very bad, and what she didn't know was sure to be worse. But then she thought of Tara. Tara, too far away and Glory too close. Then Glory was gone and Tara was still there, with a broken arm and a broken mind. She thought to the last time she saw Tara, her beautiful Tara, in the hospital, being led away by the doctor, babbling mindlessly. Glory did that. Glory. The red rage came back, and she finished the chant, her voice rising to a shout. "Adveho, atrum unus! Adveho, addo mihi virtus! Virtus pro ultionis!" There was no flash, no fireworks. As abruptly as a light switch being flicked off, it was on her. It looked like nothing so much as a nightmare scorpion the size of a horse, made of pure darkness. The giant, forked tail she could see over its back whipped about as no earthly scorpion's could. A single, unblinking red eye stared her in the face. Other than that, it was featureless, blacker than night. She stared into that eye for a long moment, choking down her fear and steeling her mind for what was to come. From the creature there no words, no pronouncements, no questions. Everything that had needed to be said had been said in the spell that called it to this world. The bargain had already been struck; there could be no more choice now. Knowing this, she fought the instinct to try and break free, get away. She could tell it would have been useless to try, anyway. The things that passed for hands on four of the demon's 12 legs pinned her arms and legs to the pavement with irresistible strength. The shadow-flesh on her wrists and ankles felt like polished stone, cool and hard. But the creature was not stone. Stone could not have flowed and squirmed as smoothly as the other ten legs did, bending and twisting under its body to touch hers. She flinched as the first one reached to touch her cheek, and blinked in surprise as the touch proved to be a gentle caress. Her eyes shot to the side. Close up, she could see the demon's legs were covered with fine, wiggling tendrils. They seemed to shift with every moment, changing length, thickness, and shape in the blink of an eye. The sensation against her skin was like nothing she had ever felt before. Half the legs began stroking her legs, working their way up, while the others ran down her face and neck, then lower. As the cool, feathery tendrils reached her breast, her thighs, she closed her eyes and tried to think of Tara. She had to. The instructions for the spell were specific; the magic wouldn't work unless she came. She forced her mind's eye to turn to Tara, her eyes, her face. The feel of her body, the taste of her, the scent of her arousal. The shy, awkward girl the world knew vanished in bed. From their very first time she had thrown herself into lovemaking with enthusiasm, and that enthusiasm hadn't dimmed even as her skills grew. With her eyes closed, Willow could almost feel her lover's tongue tracing its way around her body, the taste of Tara's juices as her own tongue moved between her legs. Lying in darkness, she could almost forget the feel of alien flesh on her limbs and the rough concrete on her back, and concentrate on her memories of Tara', and on the light touch of the dozens of little waving tendrils slowly, almost languorously stroking her breasts, her nipples, her inner thighs, her cunt lips. She began to lose herself in the sensations, feeling her nipples rise, her juices begin to flow. The rhythm of the strokes grew faster, became more urgent, and her body responded, her hips beginning to sway. Suddenly, two of the creature's legs thrust under her lower back, and she felt her lower body abruptly hoisted into the air. The tendrils from the two limbs just as quickly coiled themselves into a single, thicker appendage which darted into her pussy and back out, smearing a generous helping of juices into her ass crack. Her eyes shot open, and grew wide. Its tail was still arched over its back, but it was changing, the fork in it growing even as she watched. The two tips were changing too, becoming blunter, more rounded, twisting to arrange themselves vertically. She had known this was coming. She had known since the moment she remembered the spell for summoning this demon, and realized it was her once chance to gain the power she needed to make Glory pay. That knowledge still failed to keep her from emitting a small, frightened gasp as the demon's tail struck downward with impossible speed and agility, shot between its legs and speared into her cunt and ass, both at once. "AAAAAAAGH!" The next sound out of her was a raw scream of pure pain. It was so big.never so big.not Oz.not even when she and Tara had tried.and never in her. Then all thoughts left her as the demon pulled halfway out and stabbed in again, deeper this time.then in, out, deeper.in, out, deeper.her scream transformed into a single, high-pitched wail And each stroke felt a little different. In the back of her mind, she realized the demon was shifting its substance around, creating the tightest possible fit. Those thoughts, though, were pushed out by the sensations that were running through her body. She could feel the huge members moving on both sides of the thin wall between her vagina and anus, filling every inch of both tunnels. But there were new sensations as well, creeping up through the pain. She could feel the tendrils, still stroking the most sensitive parts of her body. And now, she could feel the line of knobs the thing had just raised on its tail. As it pistoned in and out of her, the knobs rubbed her clit, rubbed against every secret spot inside of her, shifting and changing to massage them a little differently each time, a little better, each one now bringing a little shock of pleasure as it passed, ever faster. The orgasm took her by surprise. The cry that came from her lips almost seemed to be coming from someone else. She had barely noticed that the creature had released her legs, and now they flailed about, trying to lock themselves over the demon's back, almost of their own accord. And still the demon kept pumping, still faster. Its tendrils kept groping, but more insistently now, tugging at her nipples, her clit. Its tail was in deeper, deeper than anything had gone before, deeper than she thought was possible, and with each stroke it went in a little more. The pain was there, oh yes, but the pleasure, oh the pleasure, it grew with every stroke. "AIEEGAH!" she screamed in pleasure as the second orgasm took her. Her eyes were wide open now, wide as saucers, as her head shot back and her back arched, muscles locking up. Sweat poured from her body, mingling with the pussy juices that dripped onto the pavement below her. And still the creature kept going, pumping every deeper, ever faster. The tendrils seemed to be everywhere, whipping over her body with increasing speed, except for the ones that had wrapped around her nipples, wrapped around her clit, and were rubbing, tugging, pulling in all directions at once. This isn't possible, this isn't physically possible, was her one thought before the next orgasm hit her. She had no breath left for a scream, and even less for the next orgasm, and the next, and the next. Instead, her body screamed for her as the orgasms blurred into each other and became one and the pleasure and pain blurred into each other and became one and the beast kept going deeper and faster, ever faster. Its tail was a blur now, but Willow's mind was past processing what her eyes saw, she was lost in a sea of ecstasy, and then the beast came. It came pure black magic, which flooded her cunt and her ass and every fiber of her mind and body and soul. It seared her soul and her mind went away and her body went out of control and her heart may have even stopped, just for the briefest of moments, as her back managed the impossible feat if arching even more, her head slammed back to the pavement, and her mouth opened in a scream she had no breath for. At yet a scream came out, a scream like nothing from this earth. It was a longer and shriller and much, much louder noise than any human throat should have been able to make. For blocks around, windows shattered and car alarms went off. If anyone wondered why, they certainly didn't say anything. It was Sunnydale, after all. In the alleyway, Willow's eyes rolled back in her head, then closed. Her body collapsed to the pavement, twitched spasmodically, then lay still and limp beneath the beast. The demon withdrew its dripping tail from Willow, slowly backed away from her unmoving form, and waited. After a few moments, Willow's eyelids opened. The orbs behind them were black as night. She rose to her feet and kept on rising until she was a foot off the pavement, her arms slightly spread. She hung there for another long moment, her blank eyes fixed on nothingness. She was full of power, more power than she had ever thought possible, and yet at the same time she felt drained. I did this for a reason, she thought. What was it? Then it came back to her. Tara. Glory. Pain that was, pain that was to be. The rage came flooding back, and she knew her purpose again. She looked down on herself, but if she felt any pain from her abused body, she gave no sign. She gazed about the alleyway until her eyes fell on her pile of discarded clothes. With a gesture, the clothes flew to her. Within seconds, she was dressed, her hair straightened, her body cleaned, all traces of what had just happened to her obliterated. Except for the eyes. She floated to the alley entrance, past the demon still crouched on the ground. Her eyes stared ahead, as if still unseeing, but she could sense the power, sense where she had to go. She turned and floated down the street, toward the thing that had hurt her love. Behind her, forgotten, the demon sank back into the underworld and into its own thoughts. It had done this so many times, in so many worlds. It knew the purpose of the one that had called it. It also knew that the power it had granted the witch was great, but not great enough to truly challenge a hellgod. It did not matter. It had placed its brand upon her. Even if she survived the wrath of the god she sought to slay, the power would corrupt. It always did. Either way, soon or late, it would claim her soul, to ravish throughout eternity. It looked about the place that was not a place that it called home, at an eon's collection of bound female souls, and it thought of the things it would do to this one, the infinite variety of pleasures it could take. Had it a mouth, it would have smiled. The End
