Tara's Secret: My Willow Tree
by Nicky
I knew the saying “all good things have to come to an end.” was true. My twentieth birthday is tomorrow. And it seemed like it took forever to come. My brother Donny, my Dad, and my cousin Bethany “Beth” who is a spitting image of my Dad, came to the Magic box today. I was so sad. I had been happy now for almost a full year and now it was worth nothing? I was right. My father came to bring me back. Back to that stain. But-oh, Willow. I don’t want to leave her. I was going to do whatever I could to stay.

I cast a spell on the scoobies to make sure they wouldn’t see my demon half. Whatever I am. Then, it all went downhill from there. It appeared that cast the spell entirely wrong in fact. Just as my father walked in. He told my friends about me and I couldn’t breath. With his power, he stepped on my windpipe and laughed while he slowly killed me. That wasn’t reality of course, because in reality it might have been less enjoyable for him. I fall for it every time. Every single time. But it’s such an unbearable feeling!

“Oh make him stop it! Stop it stop it! Daddy stop it!” I was screaming now.
“Tara! Baby, wake up, everything is okay.” It was Willow. I jumped up in bed. I was having a flashback. It was over. I turned to look at my girlfriend laying next to me. Tears ran down my face and splashed onto her. She took me into her arms and laid my head against her chest.
“Shhh. Tara it’s okay now. You are safe.” She whispered in my ear.
“I am…now.” I thought to myself. What happened tonight, my birthday night, was scary. But now everything was okay because I have my Willow tree branching out above me and the rain can never fall upon me again. Not ever. The next morning as soon as I woke up, I took my blade that I still had hidden in my top drawer of my dresser, and mailed it anonymously to the people I once called my family. They will never cause me pain again. NOT EVER.


THE END.
