When they had reached the hospital, the paramedics had hooked Willow up to an IV and a machine to monitor her vitals, telling Tara a nurse would be in to take blood work soon. So Tara was left alone in the room with Willow, watching her chest rise and fall. Knowing that she was alive calmed Tara a bit, but it troubled her that she didn't know what happened. The paramedics had asked her to change Willow into a hospital gown, saying they thought Willow would be more comfortable with her doing it than them. The healing bruises and the gauze on her shoulder reminded Tara just how much the poor girl had been through, but she made sure to finish putting the gown on, tucking the blanket around Willow when she finished, leaving one arm out for blood work. When wondering if the gang had figured anything out, she remembered that she had brought her phone with her, pulling it out and dialing Buffy's number.
"Hello?"
"H-Hi.. It's Tara.." Tara frowned at the stutter, glancing at Willow before continuing, "I was wondering if you found anything out?"
"Well, the officer was a self-assured jerk, but he did give us something of use. There was a.." Buffy paused and Tara's stomach flopped, "..magic book that Willow seemed to have been using before whatever happened. He marked the page it was open to.. It seems to be a spell to.." Tara could imagine Buffy's expression, making her stomach flop again in anticipation. "To.. Strip a person of their power." Tara's eyes widened, flashing over to Willow in shock.
"S-She was t-trying to.." Her voice faded off. Those sort of spells were known to be very painful. Was that why she was unconscious? Tara's heart ached for her. She was that guilty? Tara could understand guilt.. But to do a spell that was so dangerous? Tara's attention was brought back to the phone call when there was a sudden commotion. It was quiet, but she could hear it.
"Oh dear lord.." She could recognize Giles's voice, and being that Tara was sure they were trying to figure out what happened to Willow, she didn't like the sound of that. She reached over to grab Willows hand on instinct. There was a small ruffling on the other side and Tara assumed Buffy was trying to cover the phone for her sake, but she could still hear the words being said.
"Giles? What is it?"
"This spell.. I remember where I recognize it from."
"T-Thats good, right..?" Dawn asked timidly, expressing Tara's thoughts. But Tara knew by the tone of Giles's voice, that it wasn't good news.
"Some of the other watchers had talked of it. The.. The people that used it all ended up in a coma like state. But.. Families of victims have said that they would.. Er.. They would still cry out.. Even in their unconscious state. The watchers had come to the conclusion that.." Giles paused to clear his throat solemnly, "That the person's actual.. Spirit or soul was transferred to some other sort of dimension. They don't know which one but.. It can be assumed it isn't a.. Pleasant place." Tara's heart sank in dismay, her grip on Willows hand tightening while tears stung her eyes and a lump grew in her throat. She bit her lip and squeezed her eyes shut, ignoring the cold tears that rolled down her face. {She's in some sort of hell dimension..?}
"H-How do w-we g-get her b-back..?" A small gasp reached the phone,
"Oh god.. Tara.." Tara lifted her hand to wipe the tears from her face.
"T-Thats no-not important right now.. How do we get her back Giles?" Giles cleared his throat again and Tara could almost imagine he was cleaning his glasses.
"We could try some sort of ritual to try and call her back to her body but.. Such a thing hasn't been tested on victims of this spell. It isn't guaranteed that it will work."
"We won't know if we don't try. And we /are/ going to try it. We're going to try /everything/ that could possibly help her."
"O-Of course.. But.. Time in dimensions like that is known to.. Move slower than in this one. There's no telling how much slower but - there is a possibility this experience could.. Change Willow."
"..Hasn't she been through enough..?" Xander asked with a sad sigh.
"She has, and she's survived that. So she /will/ make it out of this. It might take time, but she's strong. This will only make her stronger." Buffy stated firmly, emotion creeping into her firm tone.
"..Lets hope.."
