Part 23 - Dreams
In Buffy's room Willow was lying on the bed, Tara made sure she was comfortable enough and as soon as Xander saw that everything was ok he went downstairs to help Dawn leaving Tara alone with Willow.
Tara sat besides her lover and took her hand in hers and with the other hand she was caressing Willow's head.
"Will…" A tear rolled from Tara's eyes. "What I have done? Please talk to me… I know you are still in there… please… I…. I don't know what to do… I get so lost when you are not around to help me on these cases… and, and it was all my fault, I shouldn't let you go out like that, on these streets that we don't even know it, and… I don't know what else to do, please wake up and forgive me, I need you, I'll always need you…"
Tara couldn't help it, she didn't had the strength to leave Willow alone, all she wanted to do was to stay close to her, her legs couldn't move because of her fear; after a few minutes Tara felt something deep and ended sleeping besides Willow, still holding her hands Tara was dreaming…
"Where am I? I am dreaming?"
"Yes honey…"
"Willow?" Tara couldn't see it right, she was seeing a blurry figure very far, the only thing she could hear was Willow whispering to her… "Willow? Talk to me! Are you there?"
"Sweetie…. I'm here… stay calm… we can be strong remember?"
"Strong? How? You are not with me…please come back!"
"I am. I will always be with you. I need you to be strong right now, to bring me back! Can you do that? I need you…"
Tara was in this weird white place and she was so lost, the only thing that was making her comfortable was hearing Willow's voice, so she just kept listening and answering.
"Be strong? I'm… I'm scared Willow…"
"I know sweetheart, I am too, but I believe in you, I believe that you can be strong, WE can be strong…"
"Strong? Strong like an Amazon?"
"Yes! Right, you've said that we can be strong and I believe in you…" Willow's voice was getting far and far away…
"No, Willow, come back, I need you with me, don't leave me, I'm sorry…"
"I believe in you Tara… I love you…"
That was the last words she could hear from Willow.
Tara woke up and saw Willow still lying on the bed, she felt different, she knew that Willow needed her right now and being week was not going to help.
"I'm going to bring you back." Tara said strongly and kissed gently Willow's forehead. She got up, washed her face and went downstairs.
