Willow's response to Emptiness By: MsBuffyBuff A one shot.
Willow stood at the bedroom door, looking at the dark haired slayer in her bed. She knew she was hard to handle.. and that the whole missing Tara bothered her dark haired slayer. She wished she could move past the pain of Tara's death, but how could she.. Tara had been her first in so many ways, and having had her taken from her.. hurt. She looked at her sleeping Kennedy and she sighed. They were so drastic different. She had to do better to show this dark haired slayer how much she loved her. The Slayer and the Witch.. Kennedy was.. sarcasm, fire and passion and full speed ahead, and Tara had been.. a cool, flowing water gentle in spirit and nature.
She touched the necklace she wore on her throat, one that Tara had and she went outside, into the pouring rain, and removed it, and she held it in her hand, and spoke softly~"Tara, I loved you.. you were passion and grace and love in purity..but I have to let you go..I can't stay in this empty place. I will always love you, but.. you are my past..I need to let you go.. to find my future.. Forgive me..but.. I have to be free of you, to find me."
She placed the necklace under a rose bush, not knowing her best friend watched, knowing His best friend was finally moving on.. watching the red headed witch walk though the rain, letting the rain wash away her grief, and purity her from her pain. Xander nodded, thinking it was about time.
