Bring Me to Life All legal stuff goes here
Chapter Seven The brightness of the room blinded her. “You’re shirt.” Why had she said that? As her vision slowly returned to normal, she gazed around the room.
She saw Mr. Giles, Buffy, Dawn, Xander, and Anya. All of them, including herself were lying, or in her care sitting, on a bed.
She slowly stood up. The moment she did, a wave of nausea and dizziness passed through her. She grabbed the bed for support.
Oh Goddess, don’t tell me we’ve all been kidnapped.
Looking down at herself, Tara noticed that she was dressed in a hospital gown. Really strange.
“Mmm…Tara?” Dawn slowly sat herself up, rubbing her eyes. “What’s going on?”
“Wha?” Xander groaned. “Dawn? Tara?”
“Bloody hell.” The three now conscious people looked over to where Giles and Buffy were stirring.
Buffy quickly glanced around the room and groaned. “Where the Hell are we?”
Tara quickly took another look around the room. “W-Where’s Willow? W-Were all h-here, but she’s…” her voice shook.
Giles gently placed a hand onto her shoulder. “I’m sure she’s alright.”
“Yeah, Will’s a fighter.” Xander paused a moment. “Uh… Are we kidnapped?” He looked around to see what the others knew.
Buffy’s brow furrowed in confusion. “I don’t…remember being kidnapped.”
“I was at the magic Box.” Anya cut in, letting the others know that she had woken.
“I was in my backyard,” Buffy added, “Xander and I were talking.”
Giles gave his glasses a quick rub. “I was…visiting…with a coven…”
Dawn shrugged. “I was at school.”
Tara blushed. “I was…um…with Willow.”
“Having orgasms.” Anya added.
The blonde witch blushed. “No.” Not yet anyway…
Giles sighed. “Alright, so none of us remember anything happening that could have brought us here.”
“Nope!” Buffy shook her head.

“Thanks.” Phyllis grabbed the ticket and quickly made her way to the train. Out of the corner of her eye she noticed a pair of Lurks talking. She shrugged and got into the train.
Nervously, she sat down. I can’t believe I’m going to do this. She fingered the dagger in her hand, careful to let no one see it. I’m gonna kill someone. A someone everyone knows. A someone who people won’t like getting killed.
She couldn’t turn back now though.

The small group glanced over as the door, previously locked, opened. They all gaped as Spike walked in.
Buffy glared at the Vampire. “What are you doing here?!”
“You’re hair,” Dawn sputtered out, “It…It’s curly…and brown.”
Spike shrugged. “Yeah, well, times change.”
“What are you doing here?” Buffy repeated her question. She was getting ready to beat him up.
The Vampire shrugged again. “Dinner.”
Xander stared at him. “You’re gonna eat us?”
Spike stared at the dark haired man a moment. “No you Poof, you’re dinner.” With that he brought in a cart filled with food. “Red insisted that you all have home cooked meals.”
“Willow’s here?” Tara quickly ran over to where the Vampire stood. “She’s okay?”
“Y’know,” Spike looked away, “I should probably go.”
“No!” He looked down to see Tara with a firm grip on his coat. “Where is she?! Where?”
“She’ll be here soon.” He quickly left before anyone could object.
It was maybe ten minutes before the door reopened. Buffy immediately groaned. “Spike, I am so gonna kick your-”
All of them stared at the newcomer. There, in the doorway, stood Willow.
“Hey guys.”
"Death cannot stop true love. It can only delay it."
