Willow glanced around the Bronze staring particularly at all the couples having fun on the dance floor.
Buffy was talking about something but Willow tuned her out and imagined herself dancing with Tara; twirling on the dance floor. The scene in front of her twirled and twirled and after many circles she was in a different picture with Tara smiling at her. Willow was astonished, "Where are we Tara?" Willow looked around at the bright white clouds and the grass she stood on below that felt like delicate kelp beneath her toes.
Tara smiled, "You're in Heaven with me Willow. We're finally happy together. I'm glad you made a decision."
Willow stammered. " W-what decision?"
Tara giggled and smiled. Willow looked into her warm eyes with pleasure. How she longed to touch her again. Feel her presence. "Tara?"
Tara fell silent with an inquisitive brow. "hmm?"
Willow spoke, "Is this a dream or am I really in Heaven with you?"
Tara's smile drooped into a frown. Her eyes looked lost and untouched by Willow, "I don't..." Tara ceased her stomach and croaked out her words "I don't want to die again." Tara released her hands from her stomach and Willow could see the dark red dripping from her palms andin the middle of her snow-white dress.
Willow screamed "Tara!"
The scene changed and Willow was sleeping on her arm at the Bronze. Willow sat up. Buffystared with a concerned stare upon her face, "Will are you okay?"
Willow paused glancing at the scene that stood before her. "What's happening to me?Why am I the one being tortured?"
Buffy said, "Willow. Listen to me. No one is torturing you. You were just dreaming."
Willow argued, "Why is God torturing me for killing Tara?"
Buffy was astounded. All these feelings she's been having were about Tara. She thought about nothing else. There had to be something messing with Willow. "Will, it's not God's fault. It's not your fault either. You didn't kill Tara, Warren did. I think there's something messing with you. Willow, what did you dream about?"
Willow's mind raced with things Tara used to do, she could barely take anything in around her. Of course someone was messing with her mind but then againthis was too real to be a hallucination. "I was in Heaven with Tara. We were talking and-and she clenched her stomach and there was blood everywhere on her beautiful white dress that always looked pretty on her and then I woke up. Buffy, who could be making me feel so awful? Who could take away my light?" Willow burst out in tears, feeling the soggy acid dripping down her warm cheek.
Buffy rocked Willow in her arms, "It's okay Willow. You're okay now. Calm down." Willow sobbed onto Buffy's shoulder not holding back the feelingsforced to jump out of her heart. "You're going to be okay"
