I couldn't believe all that happened, in the last few months Tara had been hurt by this god who reminded me a lot of Cordelia and Buffy was so different. The non slayer Buffy was nothing like the Buffy I had come to know, she was weak and almost whiney, and the slayer Buffy couldn't care less about the people who love her the most. My world was now like an alternate universe, one that I wasn't sure I could deal with anymore.
The worst of it all was that Tara, the one person I loved more than life itself hardly knew who I was. I mean when I walk in the room she seems to be calmed, but the brilliant quiet girl I fell in love with is now like a child, babbles about nothing and everything at the same time. I have been looking into ways to make her better, ways to bring the woman I loved, my everything, back to me, but everything I can come up with requires me to be near the thing that took her essence, that is the problem. I don't think I would survive, much less do Tara any good if I get near Glory...so what do I do?
I could ask Giles for help, but he is worried about how much magic I use, and spending all his time researching, so that only leaves Xander...no offense to my best friend, but he is about as useful in magic as I am in fighting. Basically I am alone in this, but I don't care, I will do anything I have to, to get Tara back.
Right now though I needed to spend time with her. All this time her being with everyone else when I should have been the one to take care of her. I knew Giles would probably get mad, but right now I didn't think anyone would come after us so I took Tara back to the dorm, rest would be nice and quiet wasn't always guaranteed at Buffy's house.
Just as we were finally getting some rest the phone rings. Its Giles yelling that I was "bloody stupid" for leaving the house and going back to the dorms alone. I didn't know what to say I knew he was right, but I just wanted peace for us for a bit. When Giles told me the reason he was calling I felt horribly guilty. He said he tried to call the house, but there was no answer so I told him I would go over there, well we, Tara and I would to tell Buffy Anne about what happened. I knew this was going to be hard, telling Dawn and Buffy Anne that there mother was in the hospital, but it would be easier then a stranger, or a stressed out Giles.
I finally let Giles go telling him we would go now to the house. When we got to the house no one seemed to be around, Tara following me I rushed up the stairs praying Buffy Anne was in her room.
