Never Coming Back: Breaking the Chain
by a world without prawns
“Alright,” she thought looking at the list Spike had given her earlier, “Newt eyes, Cobra egg and (eww) heart of worm,”
Though she wasn’t supposed to be using magic this classified as an emergency to her
She placed the ingredients in a bowl on the flor in front of her.
“If this doesn’t work I’m gonna kill Spike,” She thought as she dropped a match into the bowl,” Here goes, He who guards the box of fire, he who sends the messages between, Know my power, Know my pain, Show me my destiny, whether it be with Tara,” she laid down her necklace, “Oz,” She placed a pez dispenser in front of her, “Or Xander,” she put one of Xander's shirts down, “ Show my path, close my hearts rip I summon you demon, I call on SKIP!!!....skip? Oh Spike is so dead…er.” No sooner had the words left her mouth did a huge demon appear, green armoured plates covered its body and 2 horns jutted from its scull. It was looking down as though trying to read something.
“Hello witch, warlock or other magical being, please state the nature of your dilemma,” He looked up at her confused expression.
“I umm…..I’m Willow,” she stuttered
“Where have I heard that name before?” suddenly comprehension dawned on his face, “OH! You know Spike right? He tells me you got some serious magic mojo working for you, huh? So what does the dali-wicca need today?”
“Spike um,” she started still a bit confused, “he said you could help me with my… pain,”
“Ohhh,” said Skip catching on, “You want what Spike got right?”
“Uh hu” she nodded
“Did he tell you what happened to him? I’m betting not by the blank look on your face, so here’s the deal we go and do kinda a ghost of Christmas past all round parts of your life and we find where you broke the chain,”
“The chain?”
“yeh didn’t you guess already, some where along the line you did something, some thing you weren’t meant to, like take this one chick she screwed up majorly, so much so she had to go part demon to fix it!”
“I’m gonna be a demon!”
“You should be so lucky, no, it’s gonna take a lot more than some horns and a tail to clear this one up, you’re actually gonna have to re-write history to fix this,”
“So you’ve done this before?”
“Uh not so much, see that other girl, we already knew when it happened and it was just one change, with you we’ve got no clue what stuffed up but we’re pretty sure there’s like a thousand ways you could’ve changed it, so basically, you’re gonna have to choose,”
“What’s the catch?”
“We don’t know yet, you still wanna do this,”
Willow looked over at the photos of Tara and Oz on the walls, then up into the demons eyes, “I gotta know why they left me,” her eyes filled with tears, “Or at least, what I did to deserve this,”
“Well let’s go see then,”
And with that they vanished.

Revelo Drive…
It’s the first time in a long time I’ve been afraid on a night with no full moon, What if as soon as I see her I go all wolf child on her like last time, what if she shuts the door in my face, no, I didn’t come all the way here just to wimp out now. I walk up to the fences around the house. I can just make out the figure of a woman standing at the door, she’s not Buffy, or what’s her name, Anya. She’s blonde and has different build to them, O my god it’s her. She turns to face me…

Tara walks down Revello with a spring in her step, “Willow’s been off the magic for over a month, that means…that means I think I can go back to her,” she thinks happily, “I think she finally understands it, why she has to quit magic,” she turns and walks down the path leading to the Summer’s residence. She knocks on the door but gets no response, “Buffy’s out patrolling and Dawn might be at Janis’s but where’s Willow,” She can feel someone staring at her. Slowly, she turns around…
