On a day like today

Disclaimer: Buffy, Xander, Willow and Tara don’t belong to me (They belong to Joss). I own all the other students.

Pairing: W/T

Rating: I’m not good at this. So I make it R for upcomming violence.

Feedback: Please.

Note: This is my first fic, but I hope you like it. This is also 4 Jesse, who told me I should try to write something. Keep on smilin’ sweetie. (You'll do great and not look like )



Note 2: Hey I'm just a german girl with so many ideas ...okay okay....only wanted to add that.



Here ya go. Enjoy!







She was running as fast as she could. She didn’t recognize how bad her arms and legs hurt, because of her suitcases. All she wanted to do is getting there in time.

When she reached the track, she sighted the train. Willow was right there in time, to board. She breathed out in relief and tried to find her reserved seat. The train was so cramped; that she bumped into a blonde girl, but Willow didn’t seem to notice. She was in her own little world, so she kept going. When she found her seat, she let her thoughts once more drift to the events of the past few days.

When she told Buffy and the other Scoobies a few days before she had to leave to go to a collage in Washington, her friends were so shocked they could not command on this. But they seemed to understand why Willow had to do this. Buffy wanted her to go to get a good graduation. So they let her go. The friends didn’t share a word of Willow leaving until yesterday. They had to say goodbye.

This was one of the hardest things Willow had ever gotten trough. Xander and Buffy were crying so bad she had to leave. She didn’t want her friends in much pain so she left without another word in the morning. Her parents had driven her to the train station and then gone off to a trip to Germany or was it Hungary. She could not remember, but she didn’t care either.

After a few more thoughts about her friends (she was missing them already) she drifted off to sleep.



Tara arrived in Washington at 6 pm and only wanted to get to her new dorm room to get some sleep. She was so delighted to leave LA and her so called family that she could not sleep at the train. So she had learned the city map of Washington DC by heart.

When she got to the university she had to fill in some papers and got her room. She would have a roommate because all the other rooms for one person where assigned. Tara went to the 4th floor and found room 160 at the end of the hall. She knocked on the door and opened it after getting no response.

Chapter 2



Tara entered the room and was delighted how beautiful the dorm room looked. There where two big beds, three very large windows and two desks. The colour of the walls was a dark blue, but it looked beautiful, because the windows lightened the room up. Two other doors headed to a bathroom and a large walk able closet.

She began to unpack her things, which were not many or heavy things, when she heard a knock on the door.



Willow walked across campus to get to her dorm. A student named David showed her, which way to go, because she could not find the dorm and she had been straying for like 20 minutes. She carried her two suitcases to the 4th floor and her arms and legs where hurting again.

Why does this damn dorm have no lift? And where is my damn dorm room. I hope I doesn’t get a freak as a roommate. That would be the apex of my day. Why did I leave Sunnydale?

When she reached room 160 she knocked on the door. Someone was calling “Just a moment”, but she opened the door and found the two most amazing things she had ever seen.

The first one was the girl standing right in front of her, but the room was not less beautiful then the sight of this girl, who seemed to be her new roommate, but in another way of course. (J)





“Hi. I’m Willow.” she said.

“I’m T-T-Tara.” Man, why do I have to stutter right now. She must think I’m a dork.

“Hey Tara. You are my new roommate. It’s nice to meet you.” ,Willow said and she liked this girl already. She stutters. That’s so cute! Willow, stop staring at her. She has to think you are a freak.

“Nice, t-t-t-to m-e-e-e-t y-y-o-o-u, to-o. “ Tara stuttered again.

After a few minutes of an awkward silence, Willow entered the dorm room and asked Tara, which bed and desk she could use.

“I didn’t chose one, so you can decide which one you want to take” Tara said, without any stutter this time.

They chatted for a few minutes and then Willow began to unpack her things, too.





On the other side of campus a boy was running for his live. He was haunted by two other people, he didn’t knew. He didn’t know what to do. Nobody heard his screams when the two other people approached. It was so dark outside that he stumbled across a stone and hit the floor with his head. That knocked him out.

When David woke up from his unconsciousness, his head was aching and his arms and legs were tied up. He could not move, but screamed for help in desperation. David was in some kind of operating room. There were no windows and only one door, which was open. He was lying on a operating table and next to him was an extra board with scalpels and things like that. Then he heard footsteps coming closer and he tried to scream louder. Nobody heard his cries.

Two men appeared at the door. They approached near him and one of them grabbed a scalpel. He cut the upper part of David’s body open. David screamed in pain. It felt like a thousand razors where flowing through his veins, but there was no chance for him to pass out. The other man made the next step. He peeled the skin off and David passed out. But before this deliverance, he felt like someone cut his muscles and veins by sandpaper. Death came as a release, but the two men were not finished yet. They had a lot of work to do.

Chapter 3



It was 8 am when Willow woke up. The sun was shining and it seemed to be a lovely day. She was in no hurry. Her classes would start net week on Monday and she didn’t want to stand up, yet. That’s when she remembered she shared a room with a blonde goddess, who was still fast asleep. She also didn’t want to wake Tara, so she just watched her sleeping.

She looks so peaceful and relaxed, like there is no bad in this world. I wonder if she is dreaming and what would she dream of?

Tara lay on her left side and Willow felt like she could watch her for the rest of her life. When Willow once more wondered how she could be so lucky to have her as her roomy, Tara began to stir. Willow didn’t know what to do, so she acted like she was fast asleep. She did a good job.

The first two things Tara recognized were the beautiful sun shining and the birds singing. The other thing was Willow being still “asleep”. Just as Tara wanted to take her eyes off the beautiful redhead Willow opened her eyes and looked in the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. Tara thought the same thing about Willows emerald green eyes.

How can anyone’s eyes be so beautiful?

They smiled at each other and Tara stoop up.

“G-g-g-ood m-m-o-o-rning” she said and coursed herself once more for stuttering.

“Hey there” Willow said “How did you sleep?”

“F-F-Fine, thanx”, was the last thing Tara said before escaping for the bathroom.



--------

After getting a shower and a cup of coffee for breakfast, Tara wanted to explore campus a little. Getting the area to know a little better. That was when she saw no other students or people were on campus. She didn’t think of any bad, but then suddenly she noticed a green park behind the university buildings.

That is just what I need a long walk in a green park on a sunny day with no other people and students around.

Tara walked for about 30 minutes and then she noticed a little river near this park, but something was not alright. Everything seemed to be alright. Birds singing, green leaves on the trees and the sun was shining, but Tara still had this feeling something bad would happen.

She kept on walking until she arrived at the small river. When she saw what was lying in front of her she began running back to her dorm room.



---------

Willow sat at her desk and was typing an email to Buffy and Xander. She missed them already, but one day she would go back to Sunnydale. Her fingers were aching, because she erased the lines she wrote a few times. She didn’t know what to write. Maybe she wanted it to bad. She began writing again and a few minutes later she heard someone sobbing and rushing across the hall. She opened the door to see Tara in front sobbing and shocked. She asked what happened, but when getting no answer, she embraced Tara. Tara became more and more relaxed and after 10 minutes she was not sobbing anymore.

Willow offered her a chair and asked again what happened. She was very concerned. Tara tried to tell her what happened, but her stutter was so bad this time, she gave up trying.

After relaxing a little more Tara told Willow the things she had seen. She was sobbing and stuttering again.

“ W -when I f-f-f-found this p-p-ark-k-k b-b-ehi-i-nd the university b-b-b-uilding I –I-I wanted t-t-to explore-e it-t a l-l-little, but then I-I got this bad f-f-f-feeling. S-s-s-omething was not a-a-lright. I-I-I kept walkin-n-n-g ‘till I f-f-found t-this little r-r-river. I st-t-topped and t-t-hen I saw h-h-him.” She broke up. She was too shocked to tell Willow the whole story. The images of the dead body lying in the river and there was no skin. It was peeled of.

“You saw what? Tara please tell me.” Willow asked concerned.

“I saw a d-d-dead guy and his s-s-skin was p-p-peeled off. I-it was a-awful and

d-d-disgusting.” Tara stuttered.

“Oh my goddess. I’m so sorry Tara, but we have to call the police. Okay?” she asked and felt sorry for this guy and Tara.

“Y-y-eah. O-o-kay” she said and saw Willow leaving the dorm room to call the police.

Chapter 4



Tara, who was now alone at the dorm room, was sitting on her bed sobbing and shaking. She still had the image of the dead guy in her had. With the blood everywhere and the skin being peeled off. It was just disgusting and she had the feeling to have to throw up, but she didn’t. Tara was still in her own world thinking about that poor guy, when Willow entered the room with a worried expression on her face. She sat down on the edge of Taras bed and asked if there was anything she could do to make her feel better. Tara didn’t reply the question so Willow sat next to her and embraced her like she could take away the memories with that.

A few minutes later the sobbing and shaking Tara relaxed and her breathing became regular again. She was asleep in Willows arms, and she would not go anywhere.



Tara began to stir and Willow was still holding her. A smile was on Taras face when she finally woke up.

“Hey there. Had a nice nap?” Willow asked gently.

“Y-e-a-h t-thanx.” She stuttered.

“No need to thank me. But I have to tell you the police wants to interview tomorrow.” Willow replied as soft as possible.

“I-I d-don’t w-w-a-n-t t-to.” She stuttered and had this bad feeling in her stomach again.

“Tara, you have to. I know you don’t want to, but maybe I could go with you. Support you? Only if you want me to, of course” Willow babbled.

“T-t-h-at w-w-ould b-be gr-e-e-a-t.” She said now dancing a happy dance inside.

“Okay, they want us to be there at 11 am. Is that okay with you?”

“S-s-ure.” Tara said stuttering, but still not convinced that it would be a nice thing to go there.



Tara didn’t sleep much that night. She was so scared of the police to find out her little secret, but she was more frightened of Willows reaction, if she would find out. She thought about this the whole time, when they walked to the police station. She was terrified and didn’t know what to do or say to Willow, who was walking next to her. She knew that Willow was worrying about her, but she was trying to hide her feelings.

After a walk to the police station, that took about 20 minutes, they entered the station and Willow asked Tara for the 10th time this day, if she was alright. She didn’t answer like the other 9 times, and Willow cursed herself once more for asking that question over and over again.

A deputy noticed them and introduced himself as Julian Robbins . The girls told them, officer Michael Martins wanted to interview Tara about the incident yesterday.

“Okay, Miss Maclay would you please come with me? Miss Rosenberg, you have to wait here.” The policeman told them.

“Oh no, I will join the interview and make sure she is okay with the questions. Try to detain me, if you want.” Willow snapped.

“Okay okay, but if you don’t behave yourself I will kick you out of here. You get it?” asked Mr. Robbins.

“Whatever” Willow answered. She didn’t like this guy. He was so harshly.



He guided the way to the office, where Mr. Martins would interview Tara. Willow hoped he would be kindlier than the deputy. She would protect Tara. Come hell or high water.

Why am I thinking this way. Am I attracted to her? No. I am straight, ain’t I? This is giving me a headache. Stop thinking. See they are waiting for you to enter the office.



They entered the office and Michael Martins and he introduced himself. He seemed to be a nice man, but then he asked Tara harshly what happened and why it took her so long to call the police.

“Hey. She found that guy. It was a big shock. I don’t think you noticed. His skin was peeled off.” Willow shouted at the policeman.

“It’s okay Willow. I found him around 10am and it was just disgusting. I didn’t call, because I was in shock. So Willow called you” Tara didn’t stutter this time. It was very hard not to stutter, but she didn’t want Mr. Martins to be curious, why she was stuttering. There is always a reason for stuttering that bad. Tara looked at Willow and saw a surprised face. She always stuttered when Willow was around, but her eyes pleaded not to say anything. So Willow kept her mouth shut.

“Did you notice anything in particular?” he asked gentle this time.

“No, I didn’t see anyone or anything.” Tara would not tell him about the bad feeling she had before finding the dead guy lying in the river.

“Where were you 2 days ago at 9 pm?” the officer asked still not convinced the girl in front of him didn’t have anything to do with the murder.

“I was at my dorm room. Willow was there, too. Why do you ask? Oh no. You suspect me as a murderer?” Tara asked a little scared, but still not stuttering.

“I do. You found him and nobody was around. Maybe that girl is your accomplice.” He told her pointing a Willow.

Now Willow and Tara were in rage.

“We are leaving” They said in union and left the police station.
