Jesus, now we're just drowning in angst. Not only has Tara been kidnapped, but we don't even know Willow's condition.

Part 11

Postby Ginner WTluv » Mon Aug 05, 2002 3:06 pm

Okay, i didn't want to keep you all waiting, so i got this written out last night. It's only small.... but here it is:grin

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 11



Loss. It’s something we all go though at one point in our lives. May it be a family member of a dear friend, the pain of it is just the same. Eating at you from the inside, taking up all the space in your body until you feel as if you are about to burst. Pushing your brain from side to side, jumbling up all your thoughts so you can’t think straight. Prods and pokes at you, making it feel as if a thousand knives are stabbing at you all at once. Constantly asking yourself why. Why did it have to happen to you? Why were you the one chosen to suffer? But no matter how many times you ask yourself such questions, you’re still no closer to finding an answer.

Loss. Such a powerful force that can bring out such powerful emotions: sadness, anger, grief, and pain, and somehow manage to roll them all into one. Making them erupt and sending you over the edge. Into an abyss filled with the same emotions so you are surrounded by them, unable to escape. But through all of this, all these conflicting emotions, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. The light that can bring you back home.



Doc Rivers: Mr Osborn, Mr Harris, I have Miss Rosenberg’s results.



Oz and Xander both stood and stepped towards the doctor. They had both become increasingly anxious over the hour they had been waiting and were in desperate need to find out what their friend’s condition was.



Doc Rivers: Luckily, the person who fired the shot had a bad aim. The bullet entered her through the front and became lodged in the muscle tissue of her abdomen. We will also have to operate on her to remove the bullet, but she will be fine.



They heaved a sigh of relief and Xander ran his hand through his shaggy black hair.



Xander: How are the others?

Doc River: The three of them are currently in the operating theatres on the second floor. Miss Summer’s procedure will obviously take longer than the others, because her wound was slightly more serious, but the others should be back down within the hour.

Oz: Will we be able to see them?

Doc Rivers: I’m not sure that would be-

Oz: You don’t understand. The person who shot them is a madman and he’s kidnapped another one of our friends.



Doctors River’s expression grew even more serious.



Doc River: Have you informed the police?

Oz: We don’t know where he’s taken her, so they’d have nothing to go on. They’ve already got search teams out looking for him.

Doc Rivers: I see. But I feel I need to remind you that this is for the police to handle. You mustn’t get involved.



Oz and Xander looked at each other.



Oz: Yeah. We know.



Of course, they didn’t plan on telling the doctor the truth; otherwise he would try to stop there. But they weren’t about to stand by and let Tara get hurt.



An hour later



Xander and Oz opened the door to Faith and Willow’s shared room, quietly in case they were asleep. To their surprise, both girls were awake when they entered. The redhead’s face was streaked with tears and her eyes were swollen from crying.



Faith: Oz , Xander, boy am I glad to see you guys.

Oz: How are you feeling?

Faith: Oh, I have a pounding headache and pains in my chest, but it’s nothing that the thousand of pills the doctors are pumping into me won’t cure.



Oz smiled.



Xander: How about you, Will? How you doing?



Kicking the covers off her, Willow got out of her bed. But as soon as the bed no longer supported her, she felt herself begin to fall. Luckily Xander was there to catch her.



Xander: Back up there, sparky. Where do you think you’re going?

Willow: I-I have to find Tara.

Xander: You need to sit down before you fall down.



She shrugged him off her.



Willow: Don’t tell me what to do!



Xander backed off, shocked.



Willow: That, that…. Pathetic excuse for a human being just kidnapped my girlfriend, god knows what he’s going to do to her if he shot us. And I’ll be damn if I’m going to stay here and let him get away with it.

Xander: Willow, you just went through a major operation less than an hour ago.

Willow: They pulled a bullet out of my chest, not that major.

Oz: Will….

Willow: I’m going after her and don’t even think about stopping me.



The three of them looked at each other and sighed. This was Tara they were talking about. Willow’s girlfriend and their best friend. They weren’t going to be able to stop the redhead. She’d beat them all up before they were able to do that.



Xander: The doctors aren’t going to let you out….

Willow: Then we’ll think of a way!

Faith: B-Buffy’s still in theatre…. I don’t want her to wake up alone….



Willow turned to Faith, her anger turning into sympathy for her friend.



Willow: Stay. Stay here and be here when she wakes up.

Faith: But what about Tara?

Willow: It’ll be okay. I’ll have Oz and Xander.



A little later



The waiting room beside the entrance door was packed. Nurses and doctors where everywhere. Oz and Xander walked down the corridor pushing a wheelchair. Willow was dressed in Xander’s overly large jumper and Oz’s baseball cap.



Xander: We’re not going to get away with this…. We’ll be caught.

Oz: Will you shut up! You keeping talking like that and someone will catch us.



Xander quietened down as they got closer to the doors. When there were less than two feet away, they heard someone call them.



Receptionist: Excuse me?



Xander and Oz turned their heads to face her.



Xander: Yes?



She pointed at something on the floor and Xander was relieved to find that it was his wallet that had caught the receptionist’s attention.



Xanders: Thanks.



And with that, they made a hurried exist out of the door.



Willow’s house



Mr and Mrs Rosenberg were out of town, as usual, so they weren’t going to be there to ask questions when the three of them arrived. Willow quickly changed into clothes that fit her and met Xander and Oz downstairs.



Willow: Where would he have taken her?

Xander: He could be anywhere, Willow.

Willow: Then we’ll look everywhere. Scower every inch of this damn town until we find them! He’s got Tara! If anything happens to her I….



Willow trailed off, breaking down into tears. As soon as Oz tried to comfort her, she pushed him away.



Willow: We have to find her.

Xander: But we don’t even know where to start looking.

Giles: I might be able to help with that.



They spun around to find a man, older then them, standing in the doorway.



Willow: Who are you? How did you get in?

Giles: Rupert Giles and the door was unlocked.

Willow: What do you want?



He stepped towards them, his face serious.



Giles: I’m here to help you.



They all looked at each other and Xander spoke up.



Xander: Aren’t you our school’s librarian?



The elder British man removed his glasses and chuckled.



Giles: It’s nice to know you pay attention to your surroundings and not just the girls, Mr Harris.



Willow stepped closer to Giles.



Willow: How do you know we need help?



Tucking his glasses into his top pocket, he ran his fingers through his hair.



Giles: I know what’s going on. Peter, Mr Maclay, and I used to be friend many years ago. He was always a kind, caring man, but one day he changed. Jamie, his wife, turned up on my doorstep one day, covered in bruises and crying. She told me how violent he had become and I advised her to leave him. At first she refused, saying her daughter and son were still in the house with him. I assured her I would go and get them and then bring them to her. I drove her to her parent’s house in New York and then went back for Donny and Tara, but he’d gone and taken them with him. I was sitting at home the other night when a news report came on the television speaking of his escape from prison after he was found guilty of abusing his daughter four months before.

Willow: Why are you here in the first place?

Giles: I made a promise to Jamie that I’d find her children and watch over them. Hence the reason I took the librarian job at Tara’s school and bought a house here.



Willow glanced at Xander who looked as if he also was struggling to decide whether to trust him or not. Noticing this, Giles spoke again.



Giles: Please believe I’m here to help you. They could be in great danger.

Willow: They?

Giles: Donny and Tara.

Willow: Donny skipped town when his father was arrested.

Giles: What heavens for?

Willow: Because he’s as much to blame as his father for the abuse.

Giles: We must hurry if we want to find Tara in time. Peter Maclay is a very dangerous man. There’s no telling what he’ll do.

Oz: We don’t even know where to look.

Giles: Come with me.

OMG!! I hope that Willow will find her and that she'll be good. Tara's dad deserve to be punished. I hope he'll get what he deserve.

But great part. I'm glad that Willow is good, and that Giles is in the story. Faith being there for Buffy, is great too.

Part 12

Postby Ginner WTluv » Tue Aug 06, 2002 5:23 pm

Okay kittens, this is the part you've all been waiting for. Happy reading;)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Part 12



Faith sat up in her bed as the doctors brought Buffy in.



Faith: How is she? Is she okay?

Doc Martin: Her condition is stable at the moment. She should wake up in around half an hour.



Faith nodded as the doctors left the room again. Looking over at the girl in the bed next to her, Faith’s face became clouding with concern.



Willow’s house



Willow, Xander, Oz and Giles were gathered in the hallway.



Willow: So where do we start looking?

Giles: I think the best place to start is their house.

Oz: You’re probably right.

Giles: I’ll go and bring my car around the front.



Willow nodded and Giles left through the front door. Willow was becoming even more agitated by the second. If she didn’t find Tara soon, god knows what would happen. She was going out of her mind with worry. If something happened to Tara, she’d never forgive herself and if she got her hands on Mr Maclay, well, there was no telling what she’d do. After everything he’d done to Tara, there was no way he was going to get away with it all.

They heard a car horn and practically ran out of the house towards Giles’ car. They were going to find Tara. They were going to find them if it killed them.



At the hospital



Carefully Faith, she got out of her bed and moved over to Buffy’s. Sitting down on the end of it, she took Buffy hand and began speaking softly to the other girl.



Faith: Come on, Buffy. Wake up…. You’re gonna be okay. You can’t leave me. I need you. I need you with me, Buffy. I…. I love you.



Faith closed her eyes and let the tears fall. She had to convince herself Buffy was going to be okay, she’d go crazy otherwise. Somewhat unexpectedly, Buffy’s eyes flickered open.



Buffy: Faith…?



The brunette’s eyes flew opened and a gasp escaped her lips as she found Buffy awake.



Faith: Oh my god, you’re awake! I’ll go fetch the doctor.



As she tried to get up off the bed, Faith felt Buffy place her hand on her arm. Slowly, she turned to face the girl before her, glancing down at Buffy’s hand first.



Buffy: Don’t…. I…. I don’t want you too leave.



For a moment, Faith became panicked. Wondering if Buffy had heard her confession seconds earlier.



Buffy: Please….



All worries were forgotten at that point and Faith sat back down on the edge of the bed. Buffy hand moved down Faith’s arm and grasped the other girl’s hand.



Faith: The um, the doctors said you weren’t going to wake up for a while.

Buffy: Doctors aren’t always right.



Faith chuckled.



Faith: No. They’re not.

Buffy: Where’s Willow and Tara?



The brunette’s face paled when she realised she’d have to tell Buffy Tara’s dad had gotten her. When she didn’t answer, Buffy sat up and frowned.



Buffy: Where are they?

Faith: Buffy…. It was Tara’s dad at The Den. He found us. Found Tara. He was the one that shot us. He took Tara.



Buffy’s breathe caught in her throat and she thought she was going to have a panic attack.



Buffy: What?

Faith: Xander and Oz managed to sneak Willow out of here and they’ve gone looking for her.

Buffy: Why didn’t you go with them?

Faith: I wanted to be here when you woke up…. So you wouldn’t be alone.

Buffy: Oh.



A moment of silence passed between them before Buffy spoke.



Buffy: We have to get out of here.

Faith: What?

Buffy: We have to find a way out of here. We have to help them find Tara.

Faith: Buffy, there’s no way I’m gonna let you walk out of here in your condition.

Buffy: To be honest Faith, I feel fine.

Faith: Yes, but-

Buffy: Faith…. If you not going to help me, I’ll find a way out myself.



The brunette sighed. She wasn’t going to change Buffy’s mind. If Buffy planned on going to find Tara, Faith was going to be right there beside her.



Somewhere in Sunnydale



Dragging the still unconscious girl into an abandoned house, Mr Maclay grinned to himself. He’d done it, done it all. Broken out of prison, gotten Tara and by taking her away from Willow he was getting his revenge on the redhead as well. And he was going to get away with it all.

Once he was inside the empty house, he dropped Tara and looked down at her as she came too.



Mr Maclay: All you had to do was behave yourself, Tara, but you couldn’t even do that right. Just like your mother. She never did as she was told either, that’s why she had to be taught a lesson.

Tara: You…. You w-w-won’t get away w-with this. W-Willow will f-find me….

Mr Maclay: You seem to have forgotten that I shot her and all your other little friends. There’s no one left to help you, Tara. They’re all in the hospital, safe in their beds, forgetting all about the blonde girl they never really liked in the first place. They’ll be glad to see the back of you.

Tara: You-you’re wrong.

Mr Maclay: Am I? Why aren’t they here then, Tara? If they did like you, wouldn’t they at least try to help you? No matter how injured they are? If I’m wrong…. Why aren’t they here to help you? Why haven’t they come to save you?



A tear slid down Tara’s cheek. He was doing it again. Making her feel worthless. That’s what he did best.



Mr Maclay: If you meant anything to them, they’d be out looking for you…. But they’re not. You’re nothing to them, Tara. And why? Because you never listen to me. If you did, you’d know that having friends was never a good idea for you. Everyone you love gets hurt Tara. Your mother, Uncle Rupert, and now your friends. And it’s all your fault, because you never listened.

Tara: S-s-stop it….



He voice was barely a whisper.



Mr Maclay: What?

Tara: Stop it!



Tara’s head snapped to the side as she felt her father’s palm connect with her face.



Mr Maclay: You will not talk to me like that! Ever!



She stayed silent, thinking about what he had said. Did they care about her? She had been so sure they did…. So very sure. This was the way it always happened. She’d be so sure of something, but then he’d come in and mess everything around so she couldn’t think properly. He didn’t want her thinking on her own. Always wanted to make every single decision for her and more often than not, it was the decision she didn’t want.



Mr Maclay: Now. We’re going to wait here until its time.

Tara: T-time for w-w-what?



He smiled evilly at her.



Mr Maclay: You’ll see.



Tara’s house



The front door flew opened as Xander kicked it in. Willow sped forwards and began looking for Tara.



Willow: Tara! Tara, are you here!



Giles made his way upstairs, while Xander, Willow and Oz searched the other rooms. After a moment, they all returned to the hallway of the house.



Oz: It’s completely empty.

Xander: Except for this.



Xander reached into his pocket and took out an enveloped he’d found in the kitchen. It was addressed to Giles. The elder man took hold of the note and opened it. It read:



Rupert, I didn’t think you’d be able to keep your nose out of this one. I know you’ve been watching me. Watching Tara. How does it feel, knowing you’ve failed to protect your only daughter? I’m taking her home. You’ll be lucky if you see her again after that.



Crushing the piece of paper in his hand, Giles’ jaw clenched and his face became twisted with anger. None of the other’s knew what the note had said, so they all looked at him expectant.



Xander: Well?

Giles: I know where he’s taking her.

Willow: Then lets go.



They poured out of the house and into Giles’ car. Turning the key in the ignition, he started the car and gripped onto the wheel, his knuckles turning white. He spun the wheel and they were off, heading in the direction Giles was sure would lead them to Tara.



Abandoned house



Mr Maclay glanced at his watch and got to his feet.



Mr Maclay: It’s time.

Tara: T-time?

Mr Maclay: Get up.



Tara got to her feet, deciding it wouldn’t be a good idea to disobey her father again. He roughly grabbed onto her arm and dragged her out of the house.



Tara: W-where are w-w-we going?

Mr Maclay: Home.

Tara: W-what?



He stopped, grabbed both her shoulders and shook her viciously.



Mr Maclay: Home! I’m taking you home!

Tara: B-but….



He ignored her, turned around and walked off, dragging Tara with him.



Giles’ car



As the car sped down the street, Willow turned to the driver, looking concerned.



Willow: Giles…. What did the note say?

Giles: Nothing Willow.

Willow: Okay….

Xander: Hey, G-Man, where’re we headed?

Giles: The train station.

Oz: Why are we going there?

Giles: The note was from Tara’s father. He said he was taking her home.

Willow: But we just went there.

Giles: No, you misunderstand. Before they lived here, they had a house in New York, near to Jamie’s parents so they could visit the kids. Unfortunately, Jamie’s parents were killed and Jamie decided that she couldn’t stay in New York any longer. Too many bad memories. So, they moved to Sunnydale.

Willow: And now he plans on taking her back to New York?

Giles: Yes.

Willow: We have to get to her before they leave. We have to.

Giles: Just calm down, Willow.

Willow: Don’t tell me to calm down! My girlfriend’s father is about to take her away from me forever!



Giles paused for a second, taking in what Willow had said.



Giles: Tara’s…. your girlfriend?



The redhead turned to the driver.



Willow: Do you think I’d be in the sate I’m in if she wasn’t more than just a friend? This is killing me inside…. If he takes her away from me…. I don’t know if I could go on, Giles.

Giles: I know, Willow. I know.



Train station



Gripping onto Tara’s arm tightly, Mr Maclay guided her onto the platform to wait for the train. Tara looked around, scared and somewhat confused.



Tara: W-why are we h-here?

Mr Maclay: I told you, sweetie. We’re going home.

Tara: Don’t c-call me that.



He stopped and turned to her.



Mr Maclay: What?



Tara swallowed hard and dropped her head, letting her hair cover her face.



Tara: N-nothing.

Mr Maclay: Good. Now, the train should be here in….



He glanced at his watch.



Mr Maclay: 10 minutes. We’ll sit here and wait.



He sat down and patted the space next to him. When Tara didn’t sit down, he glared at her.



Mr Maclay: Tara, sit down.

Tara: N-no.



His voice became more stern.



Mr Maclay: Tara. Sit down.

Tara: No!



Mr Maclay got to his feet and Tara backed up slightly. She had never been very good at standing up to her father, but she wasn’t going to let him win this time. She wasn’t going to let him take her away from the people she loved.



Mr Maclay: I told you not to talk to me like that. Do I have to tell you again? Sit down!

Tara: No! You-you can’t m-make me do anything I-I don’t w-w-want to.

Mr Maclay: We’ll see about that.



He raised his hand and Tara backed up further.



Tara: I’m n-not coming w-with you.

Mr Maclay: Yes. You are.



He stepped towards her and she immediately flinched.



Mr Maclay: Now, sit down.



She shook her head, tears springing to her eyes. He was going to make her go with him. He was going to take her away from Willow. Quickly, his hand lunged forward and he grabbed Tara’s arm, roughly pulling her towards his.



Mr Maclay: I think I’m going to have to teach you a lesson again.

Tara: N-no…. please….



He began dragging her away when someone’s voice surfaced.



Giles: I think she wants you to let her go.



Mr Maclay spun around to face Giles, his grip on Tara faulting slightly. His face broke out in an eerie smile.



Mr Maclay: Rupert, how nice it is to see you again.



Before Giles could figure out what he was doing, Mr Maclay had pulled his gun out of his pocket and fired it at Giles. It hit the other man in his stomach and he fell to the floor, pressing his hand to the wound and wincing in pain. Grinning to himself, he turned back to Tara, recovering his grip on her arm.



Giles: Damn it Peter, let her go!

Mr Maclay: I’m sorry, Rupert. We’ve got a train to catch.



It was at that exact moment, the train came into view. It was also at that moment Willow, Xander and Oz ran onto the platform.



Willow: Tara!



Tara spun around and found Willow running towards her.



Tara: Willow….



She turned back to her father.



Tara: I-I told you! I t-told you sh-she’d find me!

Mr Maclay: Too bad she’s not going to be alive to save you.



His hand rose again, gripping the handgun tightly. Out of Buffy and Faith appeared. Cursing loudly, Faith broke out into a sprint, heading straight for Tara and her father. Mr Maclay didn’t know what hit him. Faith lunged at him from behind, pushing him to the floor and throwing his aim off completely. It was then everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Tara turned her head to look at Willow, a huge smile of relief appearing on her face and she began running towards her. Mr Maclay threw Tara off him, getting to his feet. Picking up the discarded handgun, he raised his hand again and pointed it at Tara. The blonde was focusing her attention on Willow, so she didn’t see this happening. Fortunately, Willow did. Her expression turn to one of pure terror before she reached into her pocket and took out a handgun no one knew she had. She had fired it before anyone noticed. The next thing anyone saw, was Mr Maclay hitting the floor.

Did i read that right, Giles is Tara's father??

And did Buffy tell Faith, that she loves her and Faith didn't seem to hear that?? SO many questions, and i wanna have answers!! Pleaaaaase!

Excellent update! :D

Can we just skip it? Can...can you just be kissing me now?

Hey. I'm glad you all liked this part. I wasn't sure whether it would be good enough.... but aparently it was okay;) I'm getting distracted by "but i'm a cheerleader" at the moment, but i've have another update (possibly the final part) up soon for you.

Thanks for all the feedback:grin

Oh willow got him! Bastard. He's silly to think he would separate them!

Wow Willow beat him up in Altered States and now it seems she shot him. I'm all for the wooing and hooing but i don't think you're allowed to shoot people. I can't wait to see where you take this and what happens. I'm aware extenuating circumstances cause for extenuating measures so like i said before i can't wait to see what happens. Nice twist with Giles being Tara's father, hope he's okay. :)



Cheers
