It all started one day in "the Old Watcher's Home"

May 01, 2005 15:22

Woke up to another rainy morning here in Bath. Nothing unusual about that. My knee and hip were aching, as happens in, well, any weather. I was going to take my usual afternoon stroll down to the Tea Room in town, a place we get together, and talk and have just a pleasant afternoon. After all these years, it is what I'd been craving. The silence. ( Read more... )

"Giles! So good to hear from you! How have you been? I've missed you so much."

"And I've missed you too Tara. I wish this were merely a social call, but sadly there is a crisis. However, I am not sure you're at all up for it." I took a deep breath. This was never simple.

"Willow is in danger." I told her all I knew.

"So, shall we meet in Sunnydale, or what is there now?" I asked with some trepidation.

"I'll be there."

I felt Camille slump against me as I drove. Keeping my left hand on the wheel as my right hand found the curve of her neck. Pressing two fingers to the side of her neck I breathed a breathe of relief when I felt a pulse.

The wheels of the jeep screeched when I pressed my foot to the brake pedal, I hadn't exactly drove slowly up to the entrance of the emergency area of the hospital. I was met by an intern who had come out with a wheelchair to help me when he saw me trying to get an unconscious Camille out of the jeep. Once Camille was settled in the wheelchair I grabbed my purse from the travel bag that was on the floor in the front of the jeep a the intern wheeled Camille into the emergency room. Just after I locked Dagmar in the jeep and started walking the path toward the doors of the emergency room my cell rang.

"Hello." I said after I fished the phone out of my purse. "Giles?" I was a bit surprised to hear his voice on the other end and I was sure he heard the surprise and distress in my voice.

"Willow, are you okay?" She didn't sound okay.

"I fear you've already had the first wave of problems. Althena's protege, Rhiannon called this afternoon. I trust you remember Althena? There's been a vision, and trouble is comming." I nearly took off my glasses, but realized it would be hard to clean them with one hand.

"And you are stuck square in the middle." I told her what I knew.

"Xander and I will be flying into Sunnydale sometime late tomorrow. I do hope Camille will be okay, she's such a lovely woman." I nodded a bit.

"Will see you there, then?" I wasn't sure I wanted her where the danger was the thickest. On the other hand, she was likely to be helped out the most with her...family around her.

"Trouble has already shown itself here. I'm at the hospital." I told Giles as I entered the hospital through the emergency room doors.

"Hey...wait, where are you taking her?" lowering the phone from my ear a moment, then grabbed the arm of a male nurse that was wheeling Camille away from the emergency room toward another area of the hospital.

"Surgery, you can speak with the nurse at the desk." The male nurse informed me in a slightly annoyed tone before tugging his arm free of my grasp and continuing wheeling Camille away.

"Sorry Giles, I have to go. I will join you and Xander in Sunnydale tomorrow." I hung up before giving Giles a chance to reply and hurried over to the desk to find out what the hell was going on.

I worried, as I hung up the phone. I had to pick it right back up again to make travel arrangements.

The council had air travel available, but this wasn't council business. Or at least, I didn't consider it such (and if I don't think so, it isn't).

I made air arrangements for myself and Xander, and went back to my room to pack.
