Dawn laughed.
"I…" Willow stared.
"Willow?" Dawn looked questioningly at the sorceress. "Are you okay? Willow? Willow?"
The corner of Willow's lip curled up. "Hello."
Black eyes stared into Dawn's own.
The teen glanced around nervously. "Willow?" Her voice was filled with fear. The last time Willow's eyes had been like that…Dawn didn't even want to think about Willow's addiction to magick. Please! Please don't let her be addicted! The brunette quickly backed away. Willow moved with her.
"Where do you think you're going?" The redhead's voice came out harsh and cold. A shiver ran through Dawn's spine.
"Willow…please…"
The immortal stared at her, her expression unreadable.
"Please?" Dawn repeated.
Willow's expression slowly softened and her eyes clouded over, then slowly returned to normal.
Willow looked at Dawn, confusion written on her face. "What's wrong Dawnie? Dawn?"
"You…you're eyes…they were black." Dawn took a breath, "You're not on the magick again? Are you?"
The redhead stared at Dawn. "I….I have to go. She fled.
"Tara…"
The blonde turned around and smiled, seeing Dawn behind her. "Hey Dawnie." She frowned, seeing the look on the younger girl's face. "What's wrong?"
The teen looked away. "It's Willow."
Tara's eyes widened in fear. "What's wrong?! Is she okay?!"
"I don't know. I…Her eyes got all black. Like when she was…addicted to the magick. You don't think…"
"She wouldn't."
"You said it yourself: she's hiding something!"
Tara started to say…something, but stopped. Dawn was right. "Have you talked to Dani? Maybe she can help?"
"Whatever it is, I'm sure she's in on it. She. Knows."
"Oh."
The two stood there in silence. Tara slowly looked at Dawn. "Phyllis…showed me something. About Willow."
"Hey Grams!" Dani grinned as Willow burst into the room. The redhead collapsed on the bed.
"It happened again."
"It It?"
Willow weakly nodded. "I can't stop it. I can't." Dani came over. Willow collapsed into her arms, sobbing.
