Collinwood 2005. The great house has been empty for years. Standing as a memorial to
the dead, and lost souls of the past. Now to strangers are making there way to the
estate. one believes that it now belongs to her. when in truth they will soon belong to it
Scene, a small dinner in the town of Collinsport. we see Willow, and, Kennedy enter the room
"Can I help you ladies?" said the waitress. "Just a hamburger for me" said Kennedy, "What do you want baby?"
Kennedy stroked Willow's hand, and the waiters's jaw droped. "What the hell are you looking at," said
Kennedy? Willow quickly put her hand over Kennedy's mouth. "I'll have the same," she said.
"Coming right up" said the waitress, shaking her Head as
she walked away.
"Hey" said Willow, "we just got to town, are ya trying to get us thrown out already?" "Relax
Willow, if I didn't know better, I'd say you were ashamed of me." "I'm not ashamed of you
sweetie" said Willow, "I just mean let's keep a low profile, small towns can be suspicios of
outsiders, especially when they come in saying, hey you know that big house? Its mine now, so ha."
"So we need to be on are best behavior" Kennedy said, "damn, I hate best behavior."
The waitress brings the food, and Willow ask her a question. "Hey um, were new around here."
"Never would have guessed," said the waitress "So" said Willow, slightly annoyed,
"could you mabey, help us get where were going?" "well were are you going?" said the waitress.
"A place called Collinwood." The whole dinner goes quiet. Finally the waitress speaks. " wha,
what do you want there?" Well, I just inherited it a few weeks ago," said Kennedy. People
in the dinner start whispering "So much for low profile" she said to Willow. The waitress writes
something down on a piece of paper, and hands it to Kennedy "This is the way to get there,
but, take my advice, get in you car, and go back where you came from."
"OK BITCH!" said Kennedy. "Sweetie lets just go." Willow pleaded. "NO WILLOW, I'M NOT
TAKING THIS, AND YOU SHOULDN'T ETHER, NOW LOOK BITCH, WE JUST WANTED
SOME HELP, BUT YOUR ALL SCARED, OH NO, THERE'S LESBIANS IN MY DINNER, THEY
MIGHT TRY TO HAVE SEX, WITH ME! WELL DON'T WORRY, WE DON'T WANT YOUR CRUSTY
DINOSAUR ASS!" Willow just sinks down in her chair wishing she could disappear.
"Are you done embarrassing yourself" said they waitress, "I don't care who your screwing. although
I think I'll let your girlfriend here eat free. Anybody who has to put up with you deserves a free
meal, and probably sainthood. I said you should go home because I was trying to save your life."
"Save us from what?" said Willow. "Collinwood" she said, "Collinwood is cursed, cursed by the
devil himself, that house, and the family that lived there have brought nothing but pain and misery
to this town for over 200 years, the Collins family is dead. And may they all burn in everlasting
Hell. And if you go there, You'll die to.
Switch to shot of the sea (we here the Dark Shadows them playing), Then shot of Collinwood.
the words Shadows of the Night appears.

"Oh come on" said Kennedy. "You don't expect us to believe that, do you." Willow gives her a
suprized look. After all they had seen, she should be the last person to be a skeptic. "If you lived
here you would Know" said the waitress. "Joshua Collins built that house in 1795. Ever since then,
evil, unnatural forces have been draw to this place. Ask anyone in here. then in 1976 they all died,
the same day, except David, and, Carolyn. Carolyn just went mad, and David shot himself in the
chest, two months."
"I think its time for us to go," said Willow, handing the waitress the money, and, walking for the
door. "Kennedy" she said in a very angry tone. Kennedy followed, with a (I'm gonna get it now)
look on her face. "You go strait home, you hear me," said the waitress. "YOU GO STRAIT HOME!
"Will, I can." "Shut up" said Willow, cutting Kennedy off. "OK I'm going to forget your little hisifit,
but, why have you be keeping things from me." I haven't, exactly," she said. I told you that I. Inherited
the house from a distant relative I had never met, and his family was all dead." "You said he died
of heart problems." Willow growled. "He did" said Kennedy. "He shot himself in the heart, and, it was
a problem." "DO I LOOK LIKE I"M JOKING KENNEDY!" Willow shouted. "And what about the girl who
went crazy, or the whole family dying on the same day." "I"m sorry I didn't tell you everything Will,"
said Kennedy. "But, I didn't want to worry you. Its just a house, just old superstition." "How can you
say that to me," said Willow. "You know damn well, that things like that are real. what if there right"
"What if they are," said Kennedy. "I'm a Slayer, and, your a powerful Witch, I think we can handle
a few ghost. I didn't mean to hurt you OK." Willow still is clearly angry. "Please forgive me," she said
batting her eyes. Willow still doesn't responded then Kennedy breaks into song. "I"m sorry, so sorry,"
despite her best efforts, Willow can't help laughing. "Dammit" she said. "Do ya have to be so cute
when I"m trying to be mad at you?" "So am I forgiven?" ask Kennedy. Willow pulls her closer and
passionately kisses her. "Don't change the subject, am I forgiven?" said Kennedy. "Yes, silly, your
forgiven."
they drove on towards the house. Willow was still thinking about what had happened she knew
that Kennedy didn't mean to lie. she just didn't think things though. That was an annoying habit
of her's. but it was also one of her good trates. she didn't think love though ether. she always went
with her heart. Even though she had acted up in the dinner, Willow partly admired her for it. Will was
still to this day alittle uncomfortable displaying affection in public. afraid of what people thought of her
being gay, not Kennedy, she loved like she like she lived, full speed ahead, if she loved you, she
showed it, to hell with what anyone else thought.
Willow was glad to have her especially now. Ever since Sunnydale was destroyed nothing had been
the same. she and Kennedy had been hunting Slayers all over the world but Buffy had been
growing distant. Then when she decided to stay in Rome, Willow had tried to keep in touch, but, she
seamed to pull away, especially when she met that Immortal Creep. Then one day she told Willow
that since there were so many Slayers she saw no reason to keep fighting, and she wanted to forget
that life. even though she never said it, Willow got the impression that Buffy considered her part of
that life. and they hadn't talked since.
Giles had decided to put everyone into teams, and she and Kennedy had been put with Faith, and,
Wood. The four of them kept looking for Slayers, and, to her suprise(considering how much she
used to hate Faith.) she and Faith became very good friends. In a way it made scene, Her friends
had never looked at her the same since she went evil.(Except Xander who never stopped loving her).
but Faith understood evil all to well.
The four of them became like family in the time they were together. But then it all fell apart. wile in
China, they were attacked by a vampire warrior clan called the the Dragons blood. Wood was killed.
and Faith was devastated, she blamed herself for his death, and went to LA to find Angel. when
she couldn't find him, she decided to quit Slaying, and stay in Amearica(in Tennessee of all places).
Willow tried to accept Faith wishes, But couldn't help but fell hurt that she had to go find Angel for
confort, and when she didn't find him, she decided that she had nobody (she just assumed that Faith
would come to her, since they were friends). Even Xander, he had been sent to Africa, and geting in
touch with him was nearly impossibel. But then there was Kennedy. The girl who pursued her after Tara's
death. Who had shown her how to love again. even after all the others had went away, she
was still there. Yes she was impulsive, loud, and (in her own words) kind of a brat she had to love her
so when she said that she wanted to take time off to see a house that had been left to
her, and asked Willow to come along, What else was she supposed to do.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
They pulled up to the house at dusk. "It's kinda late Kennedy, mabey we should get a hotel, and come
back in the morning." "WHHHOOOO. said Kennedy, doing her best ghost impression. "That's not
FUNNY!" said willow, shoving her on the shoulder. "Come on Will." Kennedy laughed. "It'll be fun."
"Yea right" Willow mound. "Old rat, and, bug infested house, with ghost, and ta think I wanted to go
to Disney Land." They enter the House. "Man I thought my old house was big, but, this place is like a
castle. I am Queen Kennedy, fetch me my royal slippers servant." "If your not careful, I may overthrough
you, your highness." Willow laughed.
Willow turned to look at the painting on the wall, it was of a man, dress in old fashion, but very regal
clothing he was holding a wolf's head cane, and, had a ring, with a big black jewel in it. They was
something about his eyes. They seemed to look deep inside you. "Will, hey Will?" Kennedy said waving
her hand in front of her face. "Hey what up sweetie" She said. "Will you OK? I've been calling you for ten
minutes?" "Oh" said Willow. "I was just looking at this painting." "You were really deep in thought Will."
She frowned "Do I need to be jealous of a picture?" "Yes, Kennedy" she Laughed. "This is my soul mate,
and tonight, I"m gonna have wild steamy sex, with a painting." "And you say, I have problems." Kennedy smiled.
"I'm going to look around up stairs," said Willow. "That's a good idea. See if there are any beds, it getting
late," said Kennedy. "Hey hotel remember," said Willow. "WHHHOOOOO IM COME TO GET YOU
WILLOW. Kennedy. "Knock it of." Willow growled. "I'm not scared, but I was promised a 5 star hotel,
WITH room service, AND a pool, and I'm gonna get it Damn it.
Kennedy sat on the couch, waiting for Willow. Strange she thought, you'd think that someone would have
taken the furniture at some point. unless they where afraid to come back. "Don't start" she thought to
herself. "There is nothing wrong with this house."
"Hello" said a voice behind her. "SHIT!" she said, jumping in shock. she turned to see a little girl about
5, or, 6 with sandy blond hair, and big blue eyes. She was holding a teddy bear. "You scared me kid"
"I'm sorry" said the little girl. "Do you live here now?" "No, I'm just visiting, I'm Kennedy, what's your
name?" "Emily" said the little girl. "Well, Emily, I don't think you should be in an old house like this by
yourself, and, I'll bet your mommy misses you." "My mommy went away, she's been gone a long time."
"Where do you live?" Kennedy asked. "Here with Michael" Emily replied. "Oh Michael, is that you bears
name?" said Kennedy, wondering if the girl might be homeless, though see seemed to well dressed to
be. "Oh no, this is Yogi, he's my best friend," said Emily. "Michael wants to take Yogi away though. He
says that Yogi is stupid, and, that I'm vermin." "This Michael doesn't sound like a very nice person,"
said Kennedy, Maybe I should have a little talk with him." "NO, YOU MUSTN'T!" Emily cried. "YOU
MUSTN'T MAKE HIM ANGER! HE'S MEAN, HE'S SO MEAN!
Willow is walking around upstairs, when she hears what sounds like a woman crying, she opens
a door, and sees a young girl, mabey early twenties, with long brown hair, wearing a 70's style dress
"Miss are you OK?" Willow said. the woman didn't even aknowleg her pressence. "Miss, Why are you
here all by yourself." She reaches to touch the girl, but she vanishes into thin air. "KENNEDY!
"Listen Emily" said Kennedy, "If this Michael is hurting you than he needs his a..... butt kicked, and I
may not look like it, but I can do it." "You have to stop saying that" Emily cried. "He hates it. he hate
being challenged in his house." "Well, this is my house now and he'll just have to get used to it." " STOP
SAYING THAT! YOUR JUST MAKING HIM!" suddenly the piano in the corner starts playing classical
music, by its self. "No, Michael, I told her, its not my fault, PLEASE MICHAEL! NO PLEASE! AAAHHHH!"
Emily disappears from sight.
"Kennedy!" yelled Willow, running down the stairs. Kennedy ran out to meet her. "Will, the towns people
were right! There are ghost here!" "I know." Said Willow." I saw one upstairs, a woman." "Willow, there
was a little girl, a ghost. She said there was someone named Michael. She said he was mean. Will, she
was so scared, we have to help her." OK Kennedy calm down, we have to think this through." Wile they
were talking a piece of the ceiling came loose, and drop on them. "LOOK OUT! 'said Kennedy pushing
Willow out of the way. the two got up and ran out the door. They looked up, and, a man, dressed in black
was starring down at them from the balcane. he had an inhumanly evil look on his face. "Will" Kennedy
said, pointing at the man. "I'm gonna go out on a limb, and, say that's Michael.
