BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER R
GOODBYE--WILLOW
CHAPTER TWO: THE SPELL
The next morning when Willow woke up, it was to find Tara bustling around the room and getting ready to leave. Then she noticed that Willow was awake and watching her, smiling contentedly. Tara walked over and kissed her.
"Good morning, sweety." Tara said.
"Why didn't you wake me?" asked Willow. "You weren't going to leave without saying goodbye, were you?"
"No I was about to wake you, but you beat me to it." Tara replied, smiling.
"Do you have to leave now?" Willow asked.
"Yes I do. I'll see you tonight."
"I'll miss you." Willow told her.
"I'll miss you to." Tara said. "I have to go."
Tara kissed Willow and left.
After Tara and the others left, Willow had house to herself. She lay in bed for a while daydreaming about her life after she met and fell in live with tara.
After a while Willow got out of bed and stretched lazily like a cat. Deciding not to get dressed just yet, Willow went down to the kitchen to fix herself breakfast.
Three pancakes later she went back to Tara's and her room. She was pondering what she would do during the time she had the place to herself.
As she wandered aimlessly around the room, idly picking up stuff and putting it back down her eyes rested on a sheet of paper laying on her bedside table.
It was a spell she had created to destroy demons instantaneously. She had yet to try to cast it.
"I don't need a demon," She thought to herself. "If it works, I'll feel a sensation of heat inside me."
Deciding to try the spell to see if it was properly created, she picked up the piece of paper it was on to see what she needed to cast the spell. After gathering what she needed for the spell she went to her room and sat on her bed and began to read the closely to make sure that she had it right.
When she was ready, she chanted the incantation. At first she felt nothing. Then horrible pain swept through her as every organ in her body ruptured. She fell back on her bed and was still.
Later that evening Buffy, Tara and Dawn arrived home.
"I'm going to check on Willow." said Tara.
Going upstairs she called out. "Willow?"
She opened the door to their bedroom. Willow was lying on the bed in a pool of her own blood, her sightless eyes staring upwards.
"WILLOW!!" Tara screamed.
Hearing the horror filled cry, Buffy raced up the stairs. She found Tara crying inconsolably
by the bed. Then she saw Willow.
"We've got to help her." sobbed Tara.
Buffy took Tara into her arms and tearfully said. "It's to late, she's gone.
