Great start on the fic!

I really like the Willow, Tara, Faith and Buffy combination, it seems there's so much fun (and trouble) to be had in the boarding school with them four sharing a room! Really interested in the relationship between Buffy and Faith... And Tara and Willow are already so close after meeting for how long.. an hour? Not that I'm complaining at all. Uh-uh, no complaints here.

You are most welcome to come up with another update anytime!

Well, Willow and Tara are always Hot, but having all four in the same room is seriously HOT. Then again that's just my own smutty opinion.



I like your fic so far and will be looking forward to reading more.

*********************************UPDATE******************************



The week had passed really quickly and Tara had quite enjoyed it her new friends were different but she wasn’t complaining she’d never had friends before. A couple of times she had woken up and Buffy and faith hadn’t been in their beds. And one time she woke up and willow hadn’t been in her bed either. She knew they were up to something but she figured she’d find out soon enough. But still it would be nice to be included she mused.



“What’s up?” asked Willow sitting down at the table with a drink in her hand.



“N-nothing” Tara evaded.



“Right, and the smile on your face says it all” she retorted sarcastically. “Spill”



“I-I just, it’s just, where do you go at night? .. I mean you don’t have to tell me but I ..I just wondered”



‘Oh crap.’ Willow thought, ‘what shall I tell her? Shall I lie? Yeah...no, I can’t lie Im not good at lying but ...oh God I have to lie.’



“We err we go for midnight walks’ ya’know, clear our heads.... Yeah and uh, we ya’know, umm, just talk” Willow stated, desperately hoping Tara would buy it.



“Ok” Tara said a little disappointed, letting her hair fall down her face.



“Uh ...err, but you’ll be ok getting to your next lesson? ... I have a thing...um I have to do...uh, I’ll catch you later?



Willow didn’t even wait for the blondes’ reply before she jumped up and ran off towards the exit. Tara just sat dumbfounded. ‘I Knew I should have kept my mouth shut’ she thought.



* * * * * * * * * *



Willow had been looking for Buffy for half an hour and had eventually ended up outside on the field she knew this is probably the place Buffy and faith would be for a little privacy sitting behind a tree somewhere.



“Buffy there you are I’ve been looking for you all over” Willow exclaimed



“Sorry Will, you want something?” the blonde asked a little concerned, she sat up from her resting place between Faith’s legs, Faith was leaning against a tree clearly aggravated at the interruption.



“I didn’t mean to interrupt” she apologised after seeing the look on the dark-haired girls face. “It’s just, Tara noticed that we sneak out at night” the redhead explained



“You told her?” Faith shouted.



“No, I had to lie” Willow answered a little disappointed in herself.



Buffy sighed “don’t worry about it Will, I think we should tell Tara”



“What?” Faith, questioned



“I think we can trust her” she reassured “I got an idea”



* * * * * * * * * *



Tara came out of the bathroom, she still felt a little upset that Willow wouldn’t tell her the truth about where they go at night. And the three girls had been gone since last class at 3pm she looked at the clock besides Willows bed 10pm. She sighed and got ready for bed. Maybe she didn’t fit in here either. Getting settled in bed, the blonde realised that he hadn’t turned the bathroom light out “damn” she cursed. Looking around self consciously, she pointed her finger at the bathroom and clothes her eyes, when she opened them the light was out. She smiled satisfied she could still control her magic. She hadn’t practised her magic since coming to Sunnydale boarding school for fear her new friends would reject her. ‘That’s not a problem any more’ she sighed.



* * * * * * * * * *



“Shit did you see that?” Faith exclaimed in a shouting whisper



“See what?” asked Buffy, annoyed that she was too short to see above the window sill Faith and Willow were currently peeking over.



“I saw it” exclaimed Willow.



“Maybe she’s trustworthy after all B!” Faith agreed.



“Why what did you guys’ see?” asked the short blonde getting even more annoyed that her friends were talking in code.



“She’s just like red” Faith stated with a smile.

********************************UPDATE*****************************



The room was dark except for the light the moon brought in through the window on the far side of the room. Three dark figures crept along until they were stood at the edge of a bed that was currently occupied by a blonde haired girl sleeping peacefully. One of the dark figures eased around the side of the bed and leant over placing a piece of gray duck tape over the sleeping girl’s mouth. The blonde automatically awoke with a start, her eyes widened as she realised she couldn’t scream. Another dark figure moved towards her and placed a dark material over her head and the blonde began to panic. Lifting her arms she tried to strike at one of the dark figures but was grabbed by something with over whelming strength. Her hands tied behind her back the three figures with the blonde girl in toe made for the exit.



Tara was terrified. What were these people going to do with her? Why had they taken her? Where were Buffy, Faith and Willow when she needed them?

Her feet were beginning to hurt, she concluded a couple of minutes ago that there were three of these people if indeed they were people, one on her right, one on her left and another walking closely behind, they had lead her through the school and were now outside in some kind of woodland as she could feel twigs against her feet and branches brush past her as she was pulled along. Finally after what seemed like a life time the three figures came to a holt.

She felt a strong hand being placed on her right shoulder and then another one on her left, pushing her to her knees firmly. Tara did not fight against whoever or whatever it was pushing her down, it was clear they were strong and to fight would only make them angry. Instead she prayed.

Still on her knees with her hands behind her back the blonde heard some shuffling around her and some barely audible whispers. After a few more moments the shuffling had stopped and

A dark figure placed itself behind Tara untiing her bound hands.



“So you’re a witch?” the figure behind her declared. “Well we’re gunna show you what we do to witches”



slowly lifting the Vail off Tara’s head to the blondes amazement she saw........

slowly lifting the Vail off Tara’s head to the blondes amazement she saw........



******************************UPDATE****************************





“Mm mm?” Tara mumbled through the duct tape. One of the figures knelt down and ripped it off as quickly as possible, the blonde whimpered in pain.



“Faith?” Tara said in shock “what?...why?” the confusion written all over her face.



“Hey blondie” said the dark-haired girl.



“I-I ...what?” Tara slowly got to her feet “w-w-w...?” she cringed at her inability to speak.



“Relax” Willow spoke “we’re not gunna hurt you”



“Yeah” said Buffy “ this is purely for initiation purposes”



“Initiation?” Tara questioned, finally finding her words.



“Yeah” Faith clarified “you’re a witch, just like Willow here”



Tara looked at the redhead and Willow smiled in response.

“Its true” she agreed



“And me and Faith... we’re slayers!”



“Slayers?...” Tara questioned, relaxing a little realising she wasn’t in any danger.



“Chosen ones to fight all evil.... kinda like super heros only, without masks or capes and stuff.... ‘teenage, mutant, ninja, females, heros in a mini skirt’ ... That kinda thing” Willow finished embarrassed by her little outburst.



Tara let out a hearty laugh tickled by Willows’ way of looking at things ‘she is the most adorable thing ever’ the blonde concluded.



‘ ahh Im such a dork’ Willow screamed in her mind.



“Anyway...” Faith changed the subject. “What we do to witches is initiate them into our scoobie gang”



Tara smiled, she liked the sound of being part of a gang.



“This way” Willow said looping her arm into Tara’s ‘she’s touching me’ the blonde thought.



Leading Tara a little deeper into the woods, the four girls came to a small hut barely visible through the trees. Faith took the lead, opening the door they ushered Tara in ‘wow’ she thought. The hut looked small from the outside but once inside there was enough space to swing seven cats and two elephants. There were various racks on the wall occupied by weapons that looked oh so deadly. Two punch bags were hanging from the ceiling with blue mats underneath them. 'For Buffy and Faith’ Tara figured. There were several more racks and shelves around the room, some holding more weapons, some holding books and some that looked to be holding magic supplies.



“Is this where you guys train?” Tara asked.



“Sure is” Buffy clarified.



“It’s.... big” was all she could say.



“Tara, come over here” Willow instructed from the opposite end of the room.



The blonde made her way to where the redhead was stood.



“Hold out your left-hand palm towards the floor” the redhead continued.



Tara didn’t hesitate and as she was told, lifting her hand out in front of her, she waited.



Willow went to one of the racks on the wall and picked up a small box. Walking back towards the blonde she opened it to reveal a small silver band, taking the band out of the box Willow held Tara’s left hand with her own and placed the band on her middle finger. The two girls looked at each other for what seemed like hours ‘she looks so happy’ Willow sighed ‘ I helped make her happy’



“Congratulations blondie.. you’re an official scoobie!”

Auburn (what a NICE color):



Thought I'd like to add my two cents worth - I'm thoroughly enjoying your fic. I'm a sucker for "Girl's School" settings to say the least.



The contrast between Tara's fear of capture and warmth at being included

Quote:

Tara smiled, she liked the sound of being part of a 'gang'.

was so nicely done. Made me smile all over my face.



And thanks to Xita I think the tie-in for the 1st chapter finally fell into place (with a heavy clunk). I'm a lil' dense but perserverant. Now I can't wait for all the pieces to slide into place and come full circle!



Thanks for the quick updates too...I'm an addict I think.

“Congratulations blondie.. you’re an official scoobie!”



****************************UPDATE**************************



“So” said Willow “hows it feel to be an official scoobie?”



“It feels good” Tara said shyly ‘infact it feels brilliant’ she thought



“Hope we didn’t scare you too much with the whole kidnapping and everything?!”



“Well you did scare me but I forgive you” ‘ because you’re you’ the blonde said to herself “Do you forgive me for not telling you guys Im a witch?”



Willow giggled “of course I forgive you, I wasn’t exactly forthright with the information about the scoobies was I....?” it was a rhetorical question and both girls just let it linger between them. They both Knew they still had a few more secrets between them, but they also knew these secrets would inevitably surface given time. It was a sunny day and all four girls had met up on the field outside at the front of the building. Buffy and faith had wandered off towards the woods somewhere, leaving Willow and Tara on their own.



“Does your back still ache through carrying me?” the blonde asked concerned. After a tour around the ‘scoobie hut’ they had taken the short walk back to school but, because she’d been kidnapped without any shoes, the hard surface the twigs created was making her feet really sore, Willow being the kind hearted person she is had offered the blonde a piggy back and the blonde agreed much to Buffy and Faiths amusement, but after a few minutes of carrying Tara, Willow’s back had refused to take the extra weight anymore. At which point Faith offered her services, although the scolding look, she had received from Buffy had made her wish she hadn’t bothered.



“No, no it’s as good as new” the redhead reassured. “So are you ready for your first patrol tonight?” she asked, changing the subject.



“Yes, um... I think so... Does being a scoobie mean I have to be brave?... Cuz ...uh...if it does Im a b-bad scoobie already” the blonde announced a little self consciously, the thought of all these demons and vampires was a little intimidating to say the least, she let her hair fall in front of her face to hide her nervousness.

Willow had grown accustomed to this little self-conscious act and immediately placed her hand on Tara’s to reassure her friend, rubbing her thumb over the smooth skin. ‘I wish she wouldn’t be so hard on herself’ the redhead conceded ‘I wish she could see what I see’



“Its ok, Tara, really, Im not exactly miss brave either, did I ever tell you about the time I screamed like a girl?... or the time I ran like a woman?” The blonde shook her head.

“ Well, you come patrolling with us tonight and watch me scream like a girl and run like a woman.... it aint pretty!”



A giggle erupted from Tara’s lips, she tried to conceal it by putting her free hand over her mouth but, she looked up at how serious the redhead was and a hearty laugh ensued. Willow looked on in amusement.

WOW! I really like this! I cannot wait for the next update, really. I love AU fics and the Private School setting is perfect for this story.



I wanna know what's going on with Buffy and Faith (as if I don't already know, that is) But I would like my suspisions(sp) to be confirmed. I am sure there are other Kittens out there who wanna know as well.



Keep it up, Auburn! Great job so far. I really want the next update!!!! I hope it gets steamy!
