An: I don't know where this was mentioned, having 'white' Tara saving 'Black' Willow. But it gave me this idea. And kick up the agast level to it's highest.
Plot: Tara helps Willow cope with what she had done over the last few hours. Tara was shot but not killed. But Willow killed Warren, Rack, Andrew and Jonathan. Because Buffy, Dawn and Xander were at the hospital.
Willow-thoughts Tara-thoughts
Eyes part 1
Why is she looking at me? Why is she here. Here? Where is here?
I look into her eyes. Black. Coal black. Where's the green gone?
"Are you here?"
"Where did you expect me to be?"
Dead. Lying on our floor, with a blood red sun in your heart. Are you? Is this a dream. Am I going to wake up with you gone?
"Dead." There was a whimper, Willow whimpered, "It's my fault."
Comfort. It's a MacLay family no brainer. Mom comforted me. Willow needs me.
"Sh." Tara replied, "Come here."
No! I don't want to. Do I?
Willow shuffled forward. Tara held out her hands. Taking Willow's hands.
Easy now. Shh. That's it. Come here. Slowly. There.
It feels good. She feels alive. I can hear her heart pounding. My Tara
Willow wrapped around Tara. "Tara?"
"It's me. Remember? Sassy eggs. Dophin at the pound?"
It's Tara. My eyes are drawn to the wound. It's covered
"That's it shhh." Tara stroked Willow's hair.
It's still black. I've got to rid her of it. Before it kills her.
"Willow?"
Here goes nothing.
Look up. Get lost in those eyes. It's OK. It's Tara. My T
Black eyes. Hurt eyes. Buffy told me about those eyes. They were evil. Now, they're just hurt. I see Willow in them. Not like the ones that they must of seen before they died. These are Willow. Not any creature that walk talked acted like Willow. There there sweetie. Tara's going to help you.
Tara kissed Willow. Willow kissed her back.
It's wonderful. She's here, I'm here.
Willow.
Willow's hair started to change the red striking through the black. Tara held her close. Not wanding to let go.
If this is my last day on earth. I'm spending it with Willow.
The kiss ended. Willow broke it. Looking into blue eyes.
I'm sorry.
I'm here. Cry all you want my girl. I'm here. To wipe away your tears.
Willow started to cry. Tara held her close. Running her fingers through red hair, waiting for the green eyes she knew and loved to stop crying.
My girl.
Yours.
I was lost
I found you. I will always find you.

"Stop here!" Anya shouted, "She's close."
Giles stopped. Anya got out.
Giles got out of his car, Buffy, Xander and Dawn following. The covern in Devon had warned him about a power. Dark power fuelled by grief and pain.
Willow
His only choice. He had found Xander and Buffy. Dawn was asleep in a chair near them.
"She went crazy." Xander had confirmed his worse fears. "Wouldn't listen to us."
"Where is she?"
"We don't know." Buffy replied. "Tara seemed to, but she's disappeared too."
Anya flashed into view, "There you are."
"Anya?" Xander replied, blinking. Then it made sense, Demon Anya was back.
"We've got to find Willow." Anya replied in her usual snappy tone. "She's going to do something worse."
"Worse than?"
"She killed them. All of them. The police roped off the whole place."
Giles looked at Buffy, "Killed who?"
Anya looked at him wearily, "Warren. Jonathan and the other guy. And her dealer..."
"Rack." Buffy replied. "We better find her."
"She's on Klimsman Buff." Anya replied.
"Xander wake up Dawn. We're going to stop her."
***
"She's here!" Anya shouted.
Giles, Buffy, Xander and Dawn ran.
They found Anya standing about 3 feet away, from Willow and Tara.
Tara was stroking Willow's hair, which was red now. Whispering words of comfort into her ears. Kissing her hair, rocking her slightly. Tara still looked like she had come out of an oprating theature.
Willow looked up. Her eyes were green.
