A/N: This is my first Tara/Willow fic and btvs fic. This is going to be a series of small chapters describing how their relationship developed through season 4, and it's written all mostly from Tara's POV, maybe I'll change later not sure but most likely will stick to her because I love writing her even when it's kind of hard. I know this have been done a lot before and I might have lots of spelling mistakes also I suck at describing long stuff but I hope you still enjoy this mini series. And please don't judge too much = love.
Chapter 1:
Tara didn't know what to expect when she came to live to Sunnydale. The only thing in her mind was to get away from her family as far as she could. She wasn't going to follow her father's rules of life, she knew ,deep down that her powers weren't a bad thing, even when her father kept telling her the contrary. Her mother always taught her that she was special and never to be afraid of her gift or what she was, not matter what. Her mother, that was the person Tara missed the most in her life. That morning when her father came to pick her up at school and gave her the news about her mother's death she knew that nothing was ever going to be the same. She felt like her whole word died right there and nothing or anyone could fill that hole that was left inside. And it was that way for a couple of years, after she graduated from High School and left her home she decided she was going to hide herself from anyone who could harm her and would follow everything her mother believed in.
That's when she decided to enter the Wiccan group at school. She didn't actually believed these girls would know many spells or shared the gift for magic but at least she wouldn't feel so alone and perhaps even find a friend who to share her bit of magical knowledge with. Yes, she didn't believed these girls would be full time witches, but she wasn't expecting what she found there either. A bunch of girls who only wanted to bake cookies, sell magazines and all in the name of Gaia and the earth. She sat there for like what seemed forever, listening to their silly talk and all she wanted to do was to laugh at how little of anything they knew about magic or anything at all. She didn't say anything though, she just sat there staring into space as her hair covered her face, wishing for some kind of miracle that would save her for her decition to coming to these meetings in the first place. This was a lost cause, she thought, and just when she was about to give up in these girls and go back into her own world, a voice made her snap out of her own thoughts and look up. That's when her eyes met the girl's face for the first time. Red hair, nice smile and her eyes, when Tara stared at them for like it seemed forever, she realized there was something about this girl that made her different from the rest. It wasn't just the way she asked if they were going to practice some spells, it was more than that. Her whole self was wrapped inside this white pure light that reminded Tara to someone familiar.
Out of nowhere she wanted to speak up as well, she wanted to reach out and touch this girl, not physically of course because that would probably freak her out, but in a spiritual kind of way. She felt the need to connect to let her know she knew what she was asking for, and she wanted to learn more about her, if she knew magic or just wanted to learn? Was she powerful or just an aprentice. All these questions formed inside her mind and the moment she heard the rest of the group mock her question is when she finally found the voice inside herself and let the words come out. But it was too fast and what she was going to say anyway? 'Hey I'm a witch too lets forget these girls who don't know anything and form a group together'. No that wasn't possible, specially not in front of so many eyes staring now at her, waiting for her to make a mistake that they could also use to laugh about, just like they did a minute ago. So what did she do? The best thing she has learnt to do over the years whenever she wanted to avoid people, she just smiled and nodded as she looked down one more time, trying to hide the small blush that was forming in her cheeks.
