- WILLOW'S POV -
You find it spooky?
You're not the only one.
Even me, the crazy witchy gal, finds it spooky.
A slayer, a witch, a crazy dark magic witch and a crazy master vampire plus two humans, sitting in the slayer's backyard in the dark.
Having pizza.
At least no one is trying to kill another...
For now.
Buffy is still holding her stake.
Xander is busy balancing his slide of pizza with the holy water gun in his hands.
Dawn is drinking her soda slowly, her eyes shifting between me and Dru, a huge crucifix in her hand.
Tara is... I haven't really focused on her, or even look at her.
Because I'm scared of what I may see.
Anger. Disappointment.
Hate.
Love.
And I am not even sure which one is worst.
I know she's staring at me the whole time.
I know it. I can feel it.
But I can't bring my eyes to her.
I can't bring myself to her.
To see her. Touch her. Smell her.
Because it will kill me...
Even if I'm already dead.
- TARA'S POV -
Willow.
My Willow.
Please look at me.
Just look at me, even for a second.
I need you baby, to look at me.
To see your eyes speaking to me again.
Please.
- WILLOW'S POV -
She's going to say something. She's going to say something. She's going to say something.
"Willow."
Tara's voice. Tara's soft voice. Tara's soft sweet... no Rosenberg. Don't do it.
You can't.
Don't be selfish.
Not again.
I let myself fall backwards. I can see Buffy and others are shocked, wanting to rush forward to hold me, worrying that I may hurt myself...
But none of them are faster than Dru, since I've been holding her hand the whole time.
I giggle, and smile at her.
Dru smiles back, and lies beside me.
We both look up at the sky.
Ignore Buffy and Tara.
Ignore Xander and Dawn.
Ignore the whole world...
... Unit the stars start whispering again.
"Stars shine, beautiful eyes. Mystery in hide, enjoy the night."
I close my eyes, knowing that Dru can hear that too.
"Day comes, sun's bright. Darkness enfolds, every things light."
"Old man comes, new girl's gone. Ways to go, only God knows."
I open my eyes, and turn towards Dru. I can feel that sick feeling crawling under my skin, just like always. Only her, the dead cold vampire beside me, can give me the much needed comfort and peace.
"End the world, save the souls. Your choice, little tree holds."
She finishes it softly, before sitting up, taking me into her arms. I close my eyes again.
"Okay. That's enough."
Crap.
