:: There is no time... no air, no pain, just constant warmth and love. There are no thoughts, simply the feeling of being loved and cared for and safe. There is no identity. There is nothingness. Until....a rush of light enters this sea of souls and makes contact with somthing, with a great force of power. Tara who had no knowledge of her identity slowly slips out of this sea of souls and begins to regain her identiy. Her limbs feel sore and she is disoriented and confused. When she can form a thought again, her first thought is 'Willow...' ::
All of a sudden I was aware I was lieing on a very hard floor. I had no idea how long I had been there. Everything felt fuzzy. How did I get here? Where...Where have I been? I tried to bring my mind into focus. As my life started to come back to me, I remembered Willow. Willow, sweet Willow, how did I forget her? We had been back together again and there she stood in all her beauty. It was magic, It was wonder, It was everything I had hoped and dreamed for. Then I remembered. The sudden pain, the confusion to why there was blood on my lovers shirt. The feeling as my soul had slowly drifted to.....wherever it drifted to.
I began to shiver. It was cold and dark here and nothing like the comforting place I had been, wherever it was. And for that matter....I must have been dead! So how was I here? Could it be Willow? Did she cast a spell? No, mine had been a natural death, that would never have been alowed. My thoughts all flowed together asking constant questions that I had no answer to, and it was senseless trying to figure them out. I began to sit up which was less than easy. I felt like my body was entirely new, that it didn't belong to me, and I had no idea how to make it do as I wanted. As I slowly became aware of my surroundings, I could see I was at Buffys. Lieing on the floor, by the window, Right where I was before I had-had....my thoughs trailed off. I forced myself onto my feet. Everything looked the same. Had I only been gone a matter of seconds? No. Somehow, my connection to the earth and old majiks told me - I had been gone a while.
I walked slowly down the stairs to encounter Buffy and Spike, carrying what I could only asume was a very drunk Angel. Things were certainly different. A rush of emotions hit me as I saw Buffy, my friend, I had been seperated from her. How was she doing? And what about her and Spike? I forced myself to speak.
"Buffy? Is...th-that you?? Wh-What happened?"
Buffys jaw dropped a mile wide, and her eyes were filled with confusion, happieness....and tears?
"Tara???"
