Part 8

Prue and Buffy orbed into a tranquil field. Prue couldn't be more thankful Buffy was one
for jumping straight in. She just wanted to get this over and done with so she could get
back to her sisters.

"Can you see bambi?" Buffy asked as she continued to search the field.

Prue let out a small smile, "that's cruel." She then spotted something out of the corner
of her eye. She used her power to bring it towards Buffy. "Are you sure you can do
this?" She checked.

"Yeah, being the vampire slayer for over 6 years kinda takes away the squeamish
thing." She said as she prepared the knife.

"Isn't it only vampire's you're used to..." She made a staking motion, "... you know
killing?"

Buffy let out a laugh, "no. Vampire, demons, evil witches, evil mortals, gods from the
hell dimension, robots..." She trailed off.

Prue snorted, "wow. That's worse than us."

"Being a force of good is so not easy. Do you want to get started?"

"Yeah." Prue said as she kneeled down on the grass and brought out a jar. She poured
some liquid out of the jar. "Adonai, Helomi, Pine. The gods do command thee from thy
majesty. O Mappa Laman, Adonai, Helomi. Come forward, blessed one. Know your
calling."

The fawn relaxed in Buffy's hold. Prue nodded to her and Buffy's raised the athame and
quickly slaughtered the fawn.

"Accept our humble gratitude for your offering. In death ... you give life. May you find
wings to the kingdom." Prue finished.

Piper watched as the blue orbs formed her big sister and a new found friend.

"How did it go?" She asked.

Prue held up he jar, "as good as it could."

Buffy held up her blood stained hands, "Anywhere I go clean up?" She asked.

Phoebe stepped forward, "I'll show you where the bathroom is." She said as they
walked upstairs.

Prue joined Piper and Willow in the living room. Willow was writing something down in a
notebook, with a very concentrated look on her face.

Prue looked at Piper and nodded towards Willow.

"It's the spell you'll need." Willow said without looking up from the paper infront of her.

Piper raised an eyebrow at Prue.

Prue just shrugged.

Willow looked up at them. "Ok, this is the entire spell and what to do and what will
probably happen. You're brave doing this, but don't let the tests scare you. They don't
hurt for that long plus you'll pass out." She smiled slightly.

Prue gave a smile back while Piper looked even more worried than before.

"Thank you, Willow. But I'll go through anything I have to, to get her back. Knowing
you've been there does give me some hope though."

Prue was slightly surprised when Willow got up and hugged her.

Reliving that spell... that night, It brought back so much for her. All she could think
was how much she wanted to go and perform that same ritual to bring back Tara. But
she couldn't... She loved her to much to rip her out of heaven. There was no doubt
that's where she was.

Buffy walked in and saw the embrace. She thought nothing of it till she saw Willow's
eyes. Pain. It was something she was too used to with her friends. She walked over and
stood next to Willow, "You ok?"

Willow gave a small smile, "yeah." Looking to the sisters she said, "I'm sorry I can't do
more."

Phoebe reached out and touched her arm, "you've done so much for us. Thank you.
Whatever's hurting you, it'll get easier."

"I hope so." Willow agreed. "You'll call us as soon as you theres any news, right?"

"Yeah, as soon as we've got a minute." Piper assured.

Buffy decided now was the best time to fill them in on how Paige would probably be
feeling. "If the ritual works... She's going to be scared and confused. I know I came
from heaven and I was completely disorientated, god knows what it will be like for her."

"We'll all be here for her as well as Glenn and Leo, as long as she needs us." Prue said.

Buffy smiled. She still felt like she had so much in common with Prue. They were both
so determined.

After a short goodbye, filled with good lucks, Leo came and took the slayer and witch
home to Sunnydale.
