The twisted realm that is the Magicks is unforgiving.
Tara and Willow felt themselves getting stabbed by a thousand burning daggers.
Red mist coiled itself around them, as they were thrown around like rag dolls.
They wrapped their arms around each other, if they let go for half a second, they'd be separated.
Tara buried her head in Willow's collarbone, holder her that little bit closer.
Eventually, they were slammed to the ground. They rolled over, and paused for breath.
They looked to each other, totally terrified.
Willow picked up a piece of Tara's hair that had flopped into her face, and curled it behind her ear. Willow gazed into Tara's eyes "We'll be okay, I promise." She whispered.
Then the red mist swallowed them again.

Faith's eyes rolled open. What had just happened?
She saw Buffy and Dawn staring down at her.
"Well, glad that wasn't my second coma." She laughed, trying to break the suspense.
"What the heck are you doing here?" Buffy snapped
"Jeez, talk about a warm welcome."
She stretched her legs across the couch and yawned
"B, consider yourself flattered."
"Why?"
"I was looking for you." She paused, then added "Not to kill you."
Buffy and Dawn looked unimpressed, so Faith told them the story, minus the torturing Tara part.
Buffy gave her a puzzled look "How'd you find us?"
Faith explained the stomach losing control thing, and how she blacked out halfway through.
Dawn looked incredibly confused "Why?" She asked
Faith raised her eyebrows "No bloody clue. I'm here to ask you."
Buffy folded her arms. So Tara was actually Tara, she'd kicked her and Willow out for no reason, but she had to act like she was somehow right. It's what she always did.
Dawn began telling Faith about what happened to them, when Tara and Willow appeared in the room in a flash of red smoke.

They both got up, Tara had lost her form again.
"You okay?" They both asked each other
They both nodded.
Willow turned around to see Dawn, Buffy, and Faith.
Faith.
Willow lost it, and stormed over to Faith.
"HOW COULD YOU? WHAT MADE YOU... YOU BITCH!" She screamed, repeatedly punching Faith.
Buffy grabbed Willow, and pulled her off Faith
"What the hell, Willow?" Buffy snapped
"What's up, is the fact that she," She pointed at Faith "tortured Tara to unconsciousness."
Dawn immediately backed away from Faith, scowling at her as she did. Dawn picked up the cup of water and poured it over Faith. Faith moved away and wiped the water of her face. A tear rolled down Tara's cheek, memories came flooding back. Dawn walked over and tried to comfort her "I have no form, you can't touch me." Tara whispered to Dawn
Buffy looked at Willow "I'm sorry" She said as she hugged Willow.
They stepped back, Willow tipped a cup of water onto Faith
"HEY" Faith yelled in protest, she was ignored
They all looked at each other with one question in their minds
What was happening?
