Tara: It's over.
Willow: What!? I gave you everything, protection, my soul, shelter, my body...
Tara: Anyone could have given me that.
Willow: (Quietly) I gave you love.
Tara: Love? You call this love? You killed her.....I loved her.
Willow: Do you love me?
Tara: I did.
Willow: What changed?
Tara: I found her.
Willow: She's gone now.
Tara: Her soul is, but her body isn't, she's just laying there.....dead. What are you going to do with her body?
Willow: Whatever I have to.
Tara: So, your not going to turn yourself in?
Willow? Why would I? I didn't do anything! All I did was love you! You just had to love me back....I told you what would happen if you didn't.
Tara: I didn't believe you. The Willow I was in love with would have never done this.
Willow: So you're saying it's my fault that you didn't love me? (Taken back)
Tara: (desperately) I didn't mean that, I meant...
Willow: I think I know what you meant. (brings out blood-covered knife from behind her back and holds it towards Tara)
Tara: (cautiously) Willow, honey, you don't want to do this.
Willow: Why not? You stab my back, I stab yours...isn't that how it works?
Tara: Will, I'm sorry, truly, just put the knife down, or...
Willow: Or what? Are you threatening me?
Tara: No, I just mean that you'll regret doing this, I know that you'll get over this someday, there will be someone else, just please, put the knife down.
Willow: Don't tell me what to do damn you! (She lunges at Tara's neck and slices it open, Tara clutches at her necks as blood seeps through her fingers, then she falls to the ground, beside Fred) There, she's yours now, I hope you're happy together! (She stares at them for a long time, then suddenly she stumbles backwards towards the wall, cracking her head against it) Tara!!! (She falls to her knees, sobbing insanely, she raises the knife above her head and then brings it down into her chest with a wet thump. Blood pours from her mouth as she mutters two final words) I'm sorry. ( She falls to the floor and her eyes stare blankly ahead)

The End
