Description: this is post season seven, Sunnydale is a hole in the ground and our fav characters are livin’ it up in northern California.

A lone figure stood on the beach, painting the serene sunset, attempting to capture the calm fury of the sea before twilight hit. She scrunched her face a bit, tilting her head and sighed at her efforts. “Oh well”, she said, before turning against the wind to pack up her easel and art supplies. After finally wrestling her art supplies into her bag, putting the rest over her shoulder, she frowned as a movement in the water caught her eye.
“What the heck…” she whispered as she watched a glowing naked young woman emerge from the waters, stumbling a bit as she tried to become accustomed to walking on shore. The brunette beauty looked around with a confused expression on her face before collapsing to the ground.
“Oh no!” Kylie said before running towards the fallen woman, stopping in front of her she bit her lip, unsure of how to help her. Pulling the girl further up the shore Kylie threw a blanket and her jacket over her and began pacing next to her. “Great just great”, Kylie thought to herself, “if I bring her to the hospital no one will believe where…how I found her…what is that gold medallion around her neck? who is she? Or rather…what is she?
The young woman stirred and mumbled a bit, awakening Kylie from her musings and she immediately knelt down beside her, “Oh my goodness, are you all right?” Kylie asked, pulling the shaken girl to her feet. The mysterious beauty looked at Kylie and whispered softly, “I don’t know”.
“Well, what’s your name?”
A beat. “I don’t know”.

Tara: Your shirt...
Willow: Tara? Tara? baby, come, on baby. Get up. Please. Tara... No... no... no..
Willow: Oh God. Oh no...Please... please, come on... come on Tara! Please! Come on baby... (invoking magic) By Osiris, I command you! Bring her back! Hear me! Keeper of darkness-
IMPOSING DEMON: Witch! How dare you invoke Osiris in this task?
Willow: Please, please, bring her back!
IMPOSING DEMON: You may not violate the laws of natural passing-
Willow: How? How is this natural?
IMPOSING DEMON: It is a human death, by human means.
Willow: But I-
IMPOSING DEMON: You raised one killed by mystical forces. *This* is not the same - *she* is taken by natural order. It is done.
Willow: No. There's has to be a way!
IMPOSING DEMON: It is done!
Willow: NO! (she blows the demon away with a yell)
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!” Willow screamed as she awoke from her nightmare and bolted upright, shaking and sweating profusely. “Taaaarrraaaaaa!!!!!!!” Willow screamed her deceased lovers name as she began to sob her heart out, screaming and crying her lovers name over and over. “I m-miss y-y-you s-ooo much Tara…Come back! Please come back!!!” Willow threw herself to the ground, shaking, screaming, and pounding her fists helplessly against the carpeted floor.
Buffy ran in the room three seconds later…holding up a hairbrush and comb as a weapon. “Will? Will, whats wrong??” She asked her friend frantically, dropping her “weapons” and kneeling down on the floor, gathering her sobbing friend in her arms.
“T-T-Tara….”
“Oh Willow, its gonna be alright..ok? I promise it will be..I know its hard, I mean today is the anniversary of Taras death, and I know its hard“…Buffy stumbled over her words, thinking to herself, “how can anything I say make it allright? Or any less hard?”, nevertheless, she took a deep breath and continued, “But Tara would want you to move on, to be happy Will…you can’t give in and keep having these nightmares.”
Suddenly Willow stood up, her face radiating with joy, “Buffy, I know why I’ve been having these dreams”, Willow told her excitedly. She whirled around in a circle before dropping to the floor again and grabbing Buffy’s shoulders, “Tara..shes..I feel her…shes alive..”
To be continued…
