CHAPTER 8 (REUNION)

We step out into the cave. The sunlight has it lit pretty well. I don't have to look around too long because from the other end of the cave I hear my name being called.

"Willow! Oh my gosh, Willow!" Alec comes running towards me.

"Willow!" Connor yells out and follows on Alec's heels.

Tony drops my hand and I bound towards them meeting them more than half way with my speed. "Alec! Connor!" I cry out in relief.

Alec pulls me into his arms and I crush my head into his chest, careful not to crush him with my newfound strength. Tears of joy start falling freely, soaking his grey t-shirt that he must have gotten from the survivor camp.

Connor puts his hand on my arm showing his relief in a less physical way. "We've been so scared Willow! We couldn't find you anywhere."

Alec pulls me back enough to look at me. He notices my eyes but doesn't act freaked out or anything. I feel nothing but relief and love pouring out of his emotions. "I thought..." His voice cracks and he throws his hand through his black hair. "I thought something horrible happened to you. I couldn't imagine what I would do Willow. I...." He pulls me into his arms again crushing me to where I could barely breathe. I don't care though, being in his arms feels so good and right. He kisses the top of my head.

"I'm okay Alec. I'm safe you see?" I tell him. I can sense the fear he felt.

He pulls me back again to look at me. "Yes, I see." With both his hands he brushes back my hair from my face. His hands land softly on my cheeks and he lifts my head up to his. The butterflies dance in my stomach as his lips reach mine. He kisses me gently at first and then it turns into a passionate, hungry kiss.

I stiffen when a feeling of embarrassment and awkwardness roll over me. Most startling of all is an overwhelming sense of jealousy that nearly takes my breath away. I pull out of the kiss and take a deep breath.

Alec, doesn't seem to notice my hesitation. He just pulls me into another hug. When he releases me, I look to Connor whose face is red and he looks uncomfortable. I'm sure that kiss raised the temperature in the room a bit.

Hesitantly and slowly, I turn around to see Tony standing on the other side of the room. If I didn't know him better, I wouldn't have noticed his tense posture. No, I know him more than I ought to because I can feel the jealousy and hurt that has enveloped him. I instantly feel horrible and guilty. I shouldn't feel either of those, but I do.

Alec whispers in my ear. "Who is that?"

I turn towards him. "Tony. He's helped me and has protected me since I left the shelter."

"Really?" Now I feel the jealous undertones coming off Alec.

I nod my head. I really need to stop using this ability because I don't think I need to know exactly how everyone feels.
