Tara's POV
I had lived. The bullet that went through Buffy, hit me and I was non responsive for a few hours but I was revived, but not before Willow did some serious damage. The reunion was a bit much for both of us so I won't go into the details. We made a deal that she would stay away from dark magic. About 4 months later, she we were walking in the park when a big, huge, human looking thing came out from behind a tree. I yanked Willow and myself behind a boulder. Kartan, a old enemy of mine. He's a demon that tortures before it kills. I had cursed it years ago, to keep it from killing me. It had weakened greatly but had evidently healed.
"Willow, stay here. Don't move. Don't talk. Just say here." I pulled her down behind a bush. I looked into her eyes and pushed her back as she opened her mouth to speak. I got up to face Kartan and spoke sharply to him.
"Kartan." he turned his big oafish head to me.
"Oooooh. Tara. Glad to see you." he spoke in a sickly sweet voice, showing his sharp yellow teeth.
"You have no reason being here." My voice shook slightly.
"Oh yes I do, you are here of course. I want to finish what I started, I never like to leave a family when it isn't fully destroyed, I take great pleasure in seeing the last on die. Give me a sense of fulfillment." he sneered gleefully. Then he advanced on me, I felt something come over me like a gust of wind. My body moved without my command and I kneeled before Kartan and stuck my forearms out at him. His long nails cut deep into my arms and I felt a pain that I couldn't control. I couldn't scream, I couldn't fight back. I was his. I saw the torture, the blood, the terror.
