Willow, and any of the Buffy characters are owned by Josh whedon. All the
Dark Shadows characters are owned by Dan Curtis. Any others are mine
Collinwood. A place where time loses all meaning, and the past collides with the present.
One woman, who's world has been taken from her, now find herself a stranger in a world
she dose not belong.
"Who are you, what are you doing in this house?" said a voice behind her. Willow turned to see Maggie standing
there. Maggie" she said still sobbing. "Your alive" "Of coarse I"m alive, what kind of question is that" said Maggie,
"And how did you know my name?" said Maggie, Does Misses Stodderd know you hear?"
Who the hell is Misses Stodderd?" Willow snapped. "Misses Stodderd, the Mistress of Collinwood, of coarse,"
said Maggie "What are you talking about?" said Willow, "Kennedy Owns Collinwood." "Mama I've never heard of
this Kennedy" said Maggie, "But Misses Stodderd owns Collinwood, and you need two" Maggie then notices blood
coming from Willow's head, and that she seems to be having trouble standing. "Oh my God, Miss I'm sorry" said
Maggie, "I Didn't realizes you were hurt, I'll get a doctor." "No" said Willow, "I, need to call Giles, I need help," she
reaches into her pocket for her cell phone, then remembers it's in the car.
"I need to get to my car" she said, Have to call Giles." Wait" said Maggie, "You need your car to make a phone call,
Mama, I really think you need a doctor." "CELL PHONE DAMN IT!" yells Willow, "You know cell phone's, the've only
been around since like the late 80's." "80's" said Maggie, "do you mean the 1980's?" "YES, Maggie the 1980s, are
ya with me?" "But Mama" said Maggie, "It's only 1975."
As soon as she heard that, Willow passed out.
Switch to a shot of the sea (We hear the Dark Shadows theme playing) then a shot of Collinwood, and the words
Shadows of the Night appear on the screen.

Willow is now laying, unconscious, in a bed. One of the female ghost from the stairs is in the room (and alive).
She opens a bag, and pull's out a stethoscope. She then listens to Willows heart, and checks her pulse. Maggie
enters the room. "How is she Julia," she said to the other woman. "Well, she's suffered a blow to the head, that's
obvious" said Julia, "and, she seems to be completely exhausted. and, she seem to have been in a fire. Maggie,
did she say anything to you, any thing at all?"
"Nothing that made any sense" said Maggie, "She was just ranting, saying crazy things, like, she needed her car
to make a phone call." "What," Julia laughed? "How strange." "But, she seemed so lost" said Maggie, "like she
had just lost everything. Julia how did this happen to her?" "Well, we won't no that until she wake up, which won't
be any time soon." "What do you mean" said Maggie, "is she going to die?" "No, I don't think she's going to die,
but, she's so exhausted, that she probably won't wake up for at least 24 hours. The question is, how did she get
that way? "
In the living room of Collinwood, we see the bald male ghost, and, the other female ghost (Both alive) having a
loud argument "I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOU AT ALL LIZ" said the man, "THE WOMAN WAS FOUND
PROWLING AROUND THE WEST WING. WE SHOULD BE CALLING THE POLICE, AND YOUR TAKING HER
IN LIKE SHE WAS A STRAY KITTEN!" "FIRST OF ALL ROGER, YOU WILL LOWER YOU VOICE WHEN YOU
SPEAK TO ME," said Liz! "And second, the poor girl was found delirious, and half dead, she needed help, not
to be thrown in jail."
"Oh, what a sad story" said Roger, "if only I had a violin. The girl was probably on drugs Liz, she must have
broken in here to rob us, but couldn't wait until she got home to shoot up, so she overdosed in are house."
"Roger, that's not fair" said Liz, "You don't know that she's on drugs." "Oh please" scoffed Roger, "You saw how
she was dressed, she look like she just walked out of Woodstock, with a bag of weed, or whatever they call
it now."
"Well, I wish she'd give some to you cousin," said a voice behind them. They turn to see one of the young male
ghost (alive) standing there. "Maybe it would calm you down"he said. "I'm glad you find this amusing Quentin"
said Roger to the man, "Because I seem to be the only one concerned for the family reputation." "He's right
Elizabeth" said Quentin, if the world new we had a beautiful woman here, it would ruin us, we couldn't show are
faces in town. My God, they might even stone us. ROGER YOU'VE GOT TO DO SOMETHING, (Quentin grabs
Roger by the shoulders), DEFEND ARE HONOR, SAVE US MAN!"
"You missed your calling Quentin" said Roger pulling away from Quentin, "you should have be a comedian. And
what a surprise, your head been turned by a woman. It's pathetic, you'd go after anything in a skirt." "Roger" said
Quentin, "One of these days, your simply going to have to pull that board out of your ass."
Appreciate
"That's enough" said Elizabeth, "Quentin, I don't appreciate that kind of language. And Roger, the girl is staying
at least until she wakes up, and has a chance to defend herself." "Liz please" said Roger, "we should call the
police."
"I agree" said Julia, as she walked into the room. "I just got the results of the drug test, she's clean." "Then why
do you want to call the police Doctor," Elizabeth asked Julia? "Because" Julia answered, "In addition the her head
injury, she's be burned, and bruised, and, in a state of extreme exhaustion. The only medical explanation, beside
disease, is that she was deprived of food, and sleep for a long period of time."
"Julia" said Elizabeth, "are you saying someone did this to her?" "I think it's possible," said Julia. "So yes, you
should call the police, because if I'm right, the person responsible is still out there, and could do this to someone
else." "My God" said Roger, "What kind of a man could do such a thing?" "I don't know" said Elizabeth, "But I
have a horrible feeling, that we'll soon know."

Scene the old house
We see Barnabas standing in the old house with a beautiful blond woman. She is holding a doll in one hand, and
a needle in he other. she starts to stab the doll with the needle, and, Barnabas pulls a gun on her, and shoots her.
He walks to her, and she speaks to him. "I set a curse on you Barnabas Collins. You wanted your precious Josette,
well you shall have her, but not in the way you would have chosen. You will never rest, and everyone you love shall
die. That is my curse, and you shall live with it for eternity."
The woman closes her eyes. Then a huge bat crashes though the window, and flies toward Barnabas. "Get away
from me," he said, waving the bat off. but it flew closer. "NO" he yelled, "GET AWAY FROM ME AAAHHHHH!"
Barnabas screamed as the bat sank it's fangs into his neck...............................................................................
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAA!" Barnabas screamed, and sat up in bed. looking out the window as the sun
came up. He then realized it was a dream. He took a deep breath, remembering that night over 200 years ago.
Remembering her, Angelique.
She was only a servant when they met, a servant to the dupree Family in Motanic. Barnabas was engaged to
Josette dupree. he love her with all his heart. but there fathers had some mild disagreement, and Josettes father
had forbidden her from marring him. He was so anger when she told him, he went out drinking, became very drunk.
That was when Angelique came to him. she was so beautiful, and she wanted him, so he took her, that would show
Josette, he didn't need her.
The next morning, when he woke up. He realized what he had done. poor Angelique, she had done nothing to
deserve what he had done. And to make it worse, he realized she was in love with him, and he had to tell her that
he had used her. he felt so horrible for hurting this innocent girl. If only he new then, what he new now.
Soon his, and, Josette's Father, made peace, so the wedding was back on. Barnabas expected Angelique to tell
what had happened, but she said nothing, she calmed to have forgiven him.
A year later, Josette and her family came to America, for the wedding. And Angelique came with her. That night she
came to his room, throwing herself at him. he told her to leave, and she said he would pay. What Barnabas did not
know was that Angelique was a Witch. She placed a spell on Josette, and, his uncle Jeromia, making them fall in
love, and elope.
Barnabas learned the truth, and in a fit of rage, challenged him to a duel, and, killed Jeromia. Josette vowed never to
speak to him again. Soon Angelique came to him again, begging for Barnabas to marry her. Barnabas couldn't
believe her devotion, and agreed. They lived in the old house, and he vowed to be the husband she deserved.
At the same time there were many strange events happening in Collinsport. a woman named Phyllis whic, was
accused of Witchcraft. But Barnabas believed she was innocent, and tried to prove it. That's when he learned the truth,
that his wife Angelique, was the Witch, and she had placed the spell on Josette, and, Jeromia.
He confronted her with what he knew, and was going to leave her. Angelique threatened to kill his sister Sara, if
he left. Barnabas had been hiding a gun, and used it on her. but she had her revenge, the curse, the curse that
made him into a Vampire.
As much as it shamed him now, Barnabas tried to make Josette a vampire as well, so they could be together forever.
But, even in death, Angelique tormented him. She appeared to Josette, who was waiting for him on Widows Hill. She
showed her what life with him would be. Josette then threw herself of the cliff, to her death.
Soon Joshua Collins (Barnabas's father), learned what had happened to him. He couldn't bring himself to kill Barnabas,
so he chained him in his coffin, for what he thought would be forever. But, in 1967, Willie Lommis found the Coffin,
Thinking it was buried treasure, he opened the Coffin, and Barnabas was free. Then Angelique appeared and
tormented him for several more years.
Suddenly Barnabas's train of thought was broken when Willie Lommis burst into the room. "You OK Barnabas" he said,
"I heard you scream." "I'm all right Willie" Barnabas answered, "Just a dream." "About Angelique,"said Willie? this wasn't
the first time lately he dreamed about her. "Barnabas, why you doing this, Angelique's gone, and you ain't been a
vampire in 5 years, you should be happy." "Your right Willie, I do have much to be happy for," said Barnabs as he pick
up a small box off his table. "So when you gonna do it," asked Willie?
"New Years " said Barnabas, "Maggie, and, I will be together then, it seems appropriate. The start of a new life, putting
away the old. I do love her Willie. And your right, in the five years since the curse has been lifted, the whole family has
enjoy such a time of peace, perhaps the dark times are over, perhaps we are finally free."

Scene a College campus
We see the last male ghost (alive, you get the idea) walking with a young blond woman. "I don't like it David" said the
woman, "I mean a seance, trying to talk to the dead, it's morbid." "Look" said David, "will go, Michael will play some
Led Zeppelin records, light some candles, read some Latin gibberish, then, will all get drunk, and high, that's all that's
going to happen."
"Why do you even like that guy," she said? "He's bizarre, and I think he may be dangerous." "Hally" said David, Michael's
harmless, you just don't get his sense of humor, he like's to scare people, but he's not dangerous." David puts his arms
around Hally and kisses her. "I'd never let anything happen to you," he said. "Are we interrupting," said someone behind
them? They turned to see a young man, and woman (who surprisingly look exactly like Buffy, and Xander) standing there.
"Oh, I just trying talk her into going tomorrow night," said David. "Your not scared are you," said the Buffy look alike? "No,
Alison' said Hally, "But I can't believe David wants to do this, or you guy's for that matter." "Did ally give you any trouble
Scott," said David, to the Xander look alike? "Nah" he said, "I've got her wrapped around my little finger." Allison shoves his
shoulder, and say's, "Say that again, and you won't have any fingers."
"Love hurts I guess," said a man walking toward them, his face comes into view, and we see that it's Michael. "I'm glad
I've never had to deal with that pain," he said. "So you've never be, you know," said Allison? "Well, I'm no virgin, if that's
what you mean" Michael laughed, "I've be with women, I've just never loved any of them." "But, isn't that lonely, asked
Allison? "We'll you tell me" said Michael, "how many times in your life, have you cried yourself to sleep, because some
man didn't what to fuck you, Life is about pleasure, The moment, sex, drugs, and Rock,n,Roll, why ruin it by trying have some
meaning, just live. That's what tomorrow night is about."
"A seance is about Death, not Life," said Hally. "A seance" laughed Michael, "Yes, that is about death, but, Our
ceremony is about Life, giving life." "WhatThe Fuck Are you talking about, "said David? "Tomorrow" Michael continued, "were not just
going to contact the other side, Were going to bring someone back from it."
