- WILLOW'S POV -
I stare at Dru. Really staring. The 'not-blinking-once-since-the-start-of-Earth-and-til-the-end-of-world' staring.
Dru finally can't take it anymore.
"Little Tree?"
Oh yeah. Score one for Little Tree. Hehe... Okay. Serious time now.
"How are we going to approach the slayer without being staked?"
Wait... shouldn't the question be 'without you being staked'?
"Bad slayer can't stake me, won't stake me. Miss Edith said so."
Willow
"Ooookay."
I don't really think so, but I've learned long time ago never to argue with Dru. She is one hell of a stubborn vampire.
We finally reach the Summers' house. I can see lights coming out from the house. They probably haven't slept yet. I stare at Dru. Dru stares back at me. We just stare at each other.
"Willow?"
We both turn when a voice reaches our ears. Xander. My ex-best friend Xander is standing here.
"Dru?"
A second later, Xander does what he does best. Screaming like a woman.
Following his scream is a click from the front door, then another scream - Dawn's scream.
"Willow?"
Finally. Someone acknowledges my appearance without screaming. I turn again.
Tara.
- TARA'S POV -
I am so tired. I just want to go back home and die on our bed.
Yes. Our bed.
Not you, silly. Willow and I.
Even though she hasn't slept on it for almost a year, it is still our room...
Our bed...
My Willow.
And I know she will come back to me.
She has to.
Be strong, Tara MaClay. Be strong. Don't cry.
Willow won't want you cry.
I should take a deep breath. Deep breath is good, deep breath helps you calm.
Deep bre- Willow?
My gut tells me it's Willow.
Willow.
My Willow.
I start running towards the Summers' House... and stop when I reach the end of the street.
Four people are on the front porch.
One is Xander.
One is Dawn.
One brunette.
One redhead.
My legs bring me closer and closer to the redhead, until I can smell the apple shampoo on her reddish hair.
"Willow?"
- WILLOW'S POV -
Tara.
It is Tara.
It is my name from Tara's mouth, by Tara's voice.
What should I do?
Should I greet her?
Should I not greet her?
Should I say something?
Or say nothing?
"So bright."
Thank Goddess for Dru. She always knows what to say at times.
"You are so bright. Like a star."
Dru is smiling at Tara. Okay Dru, I thank you for saving me, but please don't use the same goody goody eyes of yours on my gi-um, ex-girlfriend, okay?
"Um... t-thank you?"
Good old Tara. Always the polite one.
"Tara, stay back."
An extremely familiar voice echoes in my ear. Ha...
"Slayer."
Bugger.
