Chapter 1







"Come on Dawn , you're gunna be late for school," Tara shouted up the stairs.



It was a Friday morning , Willow was upstairs in her room preparing her bag for her classes , as Tara was making pancakes in the kitchen.



"O.k,o.k i'm coming," Dawn replied galloing down the stairs.

Dawn walked into the kitchen , "whatcha making?" she asked witha quizzical look on her face.



"Pancakes, funny shapes or round?," Tara asked with a smile on her face.

"Oh i'm o.k, i'm just gunna grab something on the way to school ,"Dawn said as she got up.

"i'll see ya later ," she said as she left the house.



Tara stood there with a frown on her face , holding a pan of pancakes in one hand and a plate in the other.



At that moment Willow came into the kitchen

"Hey baby, whats up?," she asked studying Taras face.

"oooh pancakes," Willow said licking her lips looking like a hungry child before Tara had time to answer.



Tara smiled at her lover and gave her a plate full of round pancakes.

"but i wanted funny shaped ones ," Willow pouted.

Tara sighed "how about i give you a kiss aswell, will that make you happy?," Tara asked



"More than happy ," Willow said as she leaned forward and kissed her lover on the lips.



"mmm.... better than pancakes," Willow said as she pulled back and started to dig into her pancakes.



"Do you think Dawn's o.k ?," Tara asked her lover with a tinge of concern in her voice.

"Dawnie ?,yeah she seems o.k , she just needs some time to adjust to not having a big sister around anymore," Willow said as she swallowed a mouthfull of pancakes.



"i'm just w-worried about her , it's been 8 months ........maybe i'm just overreacting," The blonde wiccan said as she put the pan in the sink +began washing up the dishes.



"Don't worry baby, we'll all get through this together," The flame haired wiccan replied as she handed her plate to Tara, brushing her hand over the blondes as she did so.



They shared a moment looking deep into each others eyes, Willow gave Tara a quick smile complete with a kiss on the lips , Tara smiled and began to put the dishes away.



"I gotto get to class in 15 minutes, when's your first class?," Willow asked as she went to retrieve her bag from the other room.

"Oh mines not until 10:30 , so i've got two hours spare ,why do you ask?," The Blonde wiccan queried.



"Oh i was just wondering, but we need to take a trip to the Magic Box sometime today cos we need some more witchy essentials," Willow said walking back into the kitchen with her bag on her shoulder.



"Oh i can do that this morning before class , if you want?." Tara replied smiling sweetly.



"Thank you , you're a goddess," Willow said as she smiled and kissed her lover.



"I'll see you later, sweetie," Willow said as she walked out the door leaving Tara beaming from ear to ear as she sighed.



Tara pulled herself out of her thoughts and began to clean up the kitchen.



At that moment the door opened and Xander walked in.

"Hey Tare ," he said walking into the kitchen.



"Hey Xander , where's Anya this morning ?," The blonde wiccan asked.



" Oh she went to the Magic Box early to count the money they made for the 17th time this week ," Xander said sitting on one of the stools by the counter .

Tara giggled at this statement.



"OOOH pancakes," He said grabbing the plate full of pancakes off of the counter and dug in.



Tara giggled again.



"So whats up with my two favourite wiccas this morning?," Xander asked with a mouhfull of pancakes.



"Oh Willows gone to class , i'm suprised you didn't see her on the way out," The blonde said.



"Nope , i musta just missed her ," Xander said smiling with his normally quirky attitude.



There was an awkward silence , even though they had knwn each other for two years , Tar still didn't feel very comfortable , she always saw Xander as Willows friend and not hers , with Anya she felt that she could relate to her, they both felt like outsiders .



Tara felt that Giles was like a fatherly figure that she had missed out on throughout her life , and Buffy , she could never quite figure out Buffy like there were secrets that had been hidden away inside her , but that didn't matter now because she was gone.

PART 2





Tara was pulled out of her thoughts by the phone ringing, she looked at Xander who had just finished his pancakes and began to rise from his stool.



Tara walked over to the phone and answered it "H-hello?,"she said.



"Um hello, this is Mrs Stevenson from Sunnydale Middle school, may i speak to Dawm's legal guardians ?," The teacher asked.



"Y-yes this is she," Tara replied with concern in her voice wondering why the teacher was ringing.



"Well Dawn was in a fight witha girl from her class todayand has used the most foul language, so we have decided to suspend her for 2 days ," the teacher said.

Tara stood there shocked.



"o-oh um.....," Tara stammered out.



"We would be very grateful if you came to pick her up ," Mrs Stevenson said.



"Oh , um sure," Tara replied still in shock that Dawn would do something like this.



"Yes , well sorry to bother you,"The teacher replied.



"Thats o-o.k, well bye," Tara said hanging up the phone as she grabbed her coat.



"Who was that?," Xander asked walking towards her.



"Dawn's in trouble at school , could you take me there?," Tara asked politely.



"Sure ," Xander replied.



They drove to the school , picked up Dawn and drove back , it was silent the whole way.

As they got back Tara was the first to speak.



"Dawnie , do you have any homework?," Tara asked.



"Yeah i'll go upstairs and do it in my room ,"Dawn replied as she walked up to her room.



Tara didn't want to say anything to Dawn just yet, she wanted to wait until Willow came home so they could talk together and decide what to do.



Xander left and Tara slumped onto the sofa, she took a quick glance at the clock and realised it was 10.25am and she had a class in 5 minutes!

She asked Dawn if she was o.k staying by herself until Xander came back and Dawn said yes.



Tara ran to get her bag and ran out of the house towards U.C Sunnydale , not noticing that someone was watching her the whole time .............

[fidds]

hhmmm.... i'm feelin kinda lonely on this board

oh well i'llwrite the next part anyway



PART 3





Tara finally caught her breath before entering the classroom for her psychology class . She opened the door to see 30 heads turn towards her .



"Well you're 10 minutes late Miss Maclay," The overwieght male psych professer stated.



"S-s-sorry," Tara replied dropping her head knowing her face was turning bright red as she quietly made her way towards the empty seat in the back of the classroom.



The class seemed to take forever to Tara even though it was only an hour , but it seemed even longer knowing that she had 5 other classes after this and then a study group for 45 minutes.



The day was long and incredibly boring , but finally ended at 4:15 pm and she was tired.



Tara slowly made her way back home . It was 4:45 by the time she had gotten inside.



She slumped on the sofa,her eyes were straining to stay open

, 'well what would it hurt to have a quick nap' she thought in her head.

Dawn's safe at Xanders and -' she let her mind wonder as she crept into a blissfull sleep.



She finally woke up feeling the need for Willows' presence , she looked at the clock - she'd slept for an hour and a half!



She got up to find a note on the coffee table - it said



Sweetie,



went to my late night study group-

be back at 9 , didn't want to wake you

all my love



Willow -x-



Tara smiled at this note then suddenly remembered she had to buy some magic essentials that she had promised Willow earlier.



She knew better than to go out late at night , but she couldn't let Willow down.

She quickly grabbed a stake and headed towards the Magic Box.



It was quite cold outside and Tara rubbed her hands together to keep them warm.

It was pitch black and Tara put her hand in her pocket to make sure the stake was there to reassure herself.



The streetlights barely lit up the path as she walked.

Her thoughts trailed off when all of a sudden she heard a faint chanting behind her , but was it human? she asked herself.

It sounded rough and wiry from what she could hear. She looked behind her shoulder but couldn't see anything.



She began to walk faster clutching the stake in her pocket , her breathing became erratic and her strides became faster and longer.



All of a sudden there was a firery red flash , and Tara froze.

Her eyes grew wide as a figure appeared in front of her.



The figure was dressed in a black hooded robe that partially covered it's face.



"W-what a-a-are you?" Tara stuttered trying to control her breathing.



"W-what d-do you want?" She stuttered nervously



"None of that matters," It said with a croaky voice.



All of a sudden , the figure thrusted it's hands out in front of her , they were pale and wrinkly .



The creature started chanting, Tara grew scared and didn't know what to do.

Finally she had thought of a spell " alliemento cersa ," she shouted , but the spell just deflected off of the creatures hands.

It must have put a barrier spell around itself.



Tara turned around and started to brake into a run when all of a sudden she heard the creature shout.



There was a huge flash of bright light. Tara covered her hands over her eyes , as she tripped over a tree root sticking out from the path.



She fell to the floor hard , and hit her head on the path , when all of a sudden it went BLACK...............

PART 4







Willow was in her study group reading through her History text book in the library.

i miss Tara she thought in her head. i wonder if i can sneak out and go and see her she thought.



She was suddenly pulled out of her thoughts by a blinding pain in her head and she saw a flash of Tara lead on the floor with blood pouring from her head.



Willows eyes grew wide with fear "TARA!!," she screamed and started to gather her things to run back to the house.



**********************************



Tara groaned as she slipped back into consciousness .



"Xander , i think she's waking up ," Tara could hear Anyas voice echoing in her head .



She flickered her eyes open and squinted against the bright lights of the hospital room.



Xander rushed towards her bed , "Hey Tare , you o.k?," Xander asked concerned.



"Y-yeah i think so," she said a bit confused.

"W-wheres Willow ?," she asked looking at Xander and Anya.



"We rang the house and left a message on the machine , so when she gets it she'll come straight away," Xander explained.



"Do you need anything , do you want me to get a doctor," He asked.



"N-no, i'm o.k ," the blonde wiccan said.



"H-h-how did you f-find me?, w-what happened ?," Tara asked running her fingers over the bandage on her head.



"Well me and Xander were on our way back from patrol to go and have se-," Anya was cut off by Xander.



"ANYA!," he said with anger in his voice.



"What we were, and you were the one that said we were going to roleplay this time ," Anya said looking innocent.



"Ahn , we talked about this ,no sex talk infront of friends , family or any type of life form on this planet," Xander explained.



"Fine!," she said huffing and sitting in the near by chair.



Tara wasn't really taking any notice and was trying to remember what had happened .



"Well we were coming back from patrol and saw you lying on the floor , you'd hit your head pretty bad , the doctors have done some x-rays and said that it was just a mild concussion," Xander explained.



"What happened ?," Xander asked.



"i-i don't know ," Tara said , she knew that the creature had done some kind of spell which caused a bright light and she tripped , but she wasn't sure whether it was a dream or not.



"i f-fell," The blonde wiccan stuttered not wanting to tell him what had really happened because she wasn't so sure herself.



"Well Willow should be here any minute ," Xander said .



And at that very moment Willow walked through the door of the small cubicle.

Xander looked suprised at this.



"and Angelina Jolie is gunna walk through that door holding a plate full of sandwiches ," Xander said looking hopefully towards the door.



"Xander!! ," Anya shouted angrily slapping Xander on the arm.

"OW!," he said rubbing the spot she had just hit.



"Baby are you o.k?," Willow asked her voice filled with concern, as she ran her fingers softly over the bandage on her lovers forehead whilst taking Taras hand and ignoring the two squabbling behind her.



"I-i'm fine," Tara replied smiling at her love and reassuring her.



"What happened , was it a vampire? cause if it was i will personally stake it's ass ," Willow said going into her overprotective mood.



"N-no , it wasn't a vampire , i just fell ," The blonde wiccan said hiding the fact that something had happened.



"Why were you out so late anyway?," willow asked carefully sitting on the side of the bed.



"I w-went to the Magic Box to get some magic essentials, because i forgot this morning," The blonde wiccan said whilst dropping her head.



"Hey it's o.k ," Willow said softly lifting her lovers chin trying to reassure her.



"You shouldn't have been out that late by yourself , they weren't that important to risk yourself being in danger over," Willow explained softly.



"I-i'm sorry , i just wanted to get them for you to make you happy," Tara said with tears in her eyes.



"Hey, it's o.k baby, the only thing that can make me happy is to be with you ," the flame haired wiccan said whilst cupping Taras cheek.



"Why don't you ever say that to me !!," Anya said slapping Xanders arm.



"Ow !! ," Xander complained rubbing his arm again.



At that moment a dark haired male doctor came in .

"Well, i see you're awake ," He said walking towards Taras bed and picking up her chart.



"I'm doctor Watkins," He said with a smile.



"H-hi," Tara stuttered nervously as Willow gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.



"Well your chart looks good , does it hurt anywhere ?,"



"I-i've got a little head-ache ," Tara said shyly.



"Well we'll dose you up with some pain killers, then it looks like you're free to go ," Doctor Watkins said taking a pen from his pocket and writing some notes on her chart .



"I'll send a nurse by in a few minutes to bring you your clothes and your medication ," Doctor Watkins said with a smile.



"Th-thank you," The blonde stuttered



The doctor smiled and left the small cubicle.

PART 5





After another hour at the hospital Tara was dosed up with painkillers and released , Willow wouldn't let go of her the whole way home.



Dawn spent the night at her friend's house before Anya and Xander had gone on patrol so she didn't know about what had happened.



Willow helped Tara out of the car and they made their way to the house.



"Hey will , if you need anything -" Xander started to say

"okay Xand, thanks for the ride ," Willow said gratefully.

"Okay bye," Xander waved and then drove off.



"you are going straight to bed missy," Willow said to Tara as soon as they were inside.



"But willow it's 7:30 A.M ," Tara protested .



"No buts missy, I'm putting you straight to bed , then i'm gunna make you a cup of herbal tea ," Willow said in her overprotective mood with one arm round Taras waist.



Tara knew that once Willow was in her overprotective mood , there was no way she could make her lover change her mind.



Willow helped Tara up the stairs into their bedrrom and Tara was starting to feel tired .



Willow tucked the blonde wiccan into bed and went back downstairs to make some herbal tea.



Tara was lead in bed staring at the ceiling re-thinking about what had happened , she kept on playingthe scene over and over again in her head.



She felt strange like a part of her was missing , or maybe it was just the concussion and the drugs that were making her feel strange.

Her thoughts drifted as she fell into a blissfull yet disturbing sleep.



Willow was still in the kitchen waiting for the kettle to boil , she thought about the previous day when she hardly saw Tara all day and then came home to find a mesage on the machine from Xander saying that Tara was in hospital.



Willow sighed and poured the cup of tea complete with milk and two sugars , just the way Tara liked it.



Willow took the cup of tea up to their room , by the time she opened the door she saw that Tara was in a deep sleep.



She set the cup of tea on the side , walked over to the bed, tucked Tara in and kissed her gently on the blonde's temple making sure that she didn't disturb the bandage which contained a painfull wound underneath it's surface.



"Goodnight my Tara," Willow said softly.



The flame haired wiccan moved towards the chair which was placed by the desk and watched Tara as she slept.



Willow couldn't believe how beautiful Tara looked and how lucky she felt.

Willow was greatful that destiny had given them the oppurtunity to be together.



Willow yawned and remembered that she hadn't slept at all over the past two days because she had spent the night at the hospital , she brought the blanket she was sitting on up over herself and figited to get comfortable.



She yawned once again before sleep claimed her-





Willow awaken by the sounds of Taras murmers.

The blonde was thrashing around in bed with a frightened look on her face..........................



*Taras dream*







Tara was chained in shackles to a dusty ,stone cold floor in a type of crypt with pillars and tombs , there were flames lit on the sides of the wall and the whole place was eery dark ,

she was sat cross legged in the centre of a pentagram made from red blood - ............her blood...............



Black candles were set in each corner of the pentagram .



It was covered with a circle of herbs.



Infront of Tara , but outside of the pentagram was the hooded creature that Tara had encountered the night before , it was as

still as a statue watching her although Tara couldn't see it's eyes.



The creature was chanting something in latin as Taras breathing was becoming more erratic as he began to sweat .



The creature said one final word as time seemed to slow down .

As it finished the final word it moved it's unnatural boney , pale hands towards it's head and took it's hood down.



Tara threw her head back as intense pain coursed through her body and screamed in agony............... TBC
