It's officially official.

I'm the worst guardian angel in the history of recorded time.

My charge has gotten herself kidnapped. If there's some kind of revue board for this job, I'm in real trouble.

Thank god, Buffy knows where she's being held, and we're going in to get her out. Before we do, I'm preparing a ritual...a protection spell, to

"Baby, no. You're the best guardian Angel, heck if Dawn were here in a not kidnapped capacity? She'd say so too. Buffy, Giles an' I were right there when she went and disapeared on us and we didn't know until it was too late. So, my thinkin' is that she would have got kidnapped anyway an'... ok, the part where I'm suppose to be all pep-talk girl is kinda hard when I'm not thinking properly, but rational thought says that Dawn's record is pretty high on the getting kidnapped factor. And she's come out relatively unscathed before, but now she has you to protect her. So she's all extra safe."

Ok. Breathe. I give Tara a little satisfied nod, it came out almost as good as I thought it. Really. Sometimes my brain just works a little faster than my mouth, more so now with the dependence of coffee this past week. Gah, once this is over? I'm gonna sleep for three days straight.

I can't stop fretting and pacing. Anxiety. It's all I can feel right now. Worry for poor Dawn, and for myself as well. If something terrible happens to her, it's my responsibility. I'm supposed to protect her.

Will they take me back?

"Oh, Will..."

Uh-ho. I know that face.

I wrap my arms around Tara's waist and gently butt my head against hers, "She'll be fine. I promise. You'll see, Buffy'll kick butt like she always does, and afterward? We party. As is the birthday tradition... except for that one time where we completely forgot." Sometimes I just shouldn't speak words.

I kiss Tara reassuringly on the temple and rest my chin on her shoulder. Sometimes a good hug calms her down, an' calm Tara? Something we need right now.

She may not think she's strong, my Willow, but sometimes, she's so much stronger than everyone else. Me, especially.

"I love you, y'know," I say softly, stroking the small of her back, clinging to her strength, letting it prop me up.
