Collinwood, 1975.
A young girl has be sent from her time, into the past, and now must view the destruction of the Collins Family.
In this time, Barnabas Collins about to achieve the life he has dreamed of for over 200 years. But, there are
forces rising against him.
The scene is a church, Barnabas is about to be married, the whole family is there (Though they seem dressed
more for a funeral). The music begins to play, and, Maggie walks down the aisle, in a white wedding dress (a veil
covers her face, so it can't be seen.
"Dearly beloved" said the minister (we only see him from the back, but then his face is shown, and we see that
it's Michael, but, Barnabas has never met him, so he doesn't recognize him. "We are gathered here today, to
unite Barnabas Collins, and Margaret Evans, in matrimony. Barnabas, do you take this woman, to be your
lawfully wedded wife, for richer, or poorer, in sickens, and health, for as long as you both shall live?" "I do," said
Barnabas. "Margaret Evans, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, for richer, or poorer, in
sickens, and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" "I do," said Maggie.
"Then, by the power vested in me, I now pronounce you Man, and Wife. You may kiss the bride." Barnabas looks
into the crowd, and is shocked to see Angelique standing there. "Yes, Barnabas" she said, "kiss you bride."
Barnabas lifted the veil, a look of horror comes over his face. "NOOOOO," he screams! "then we see Maggie's
face, it is a skull. "AAAHHHHHAAAAA," Barnabas screams! Then, he realizes, that he's in his bed.

"Back at Collinwood, we see the clock on the wall, it says 7:15. then the front door opens, and David walks in.
he starts walking slowly toward the stairs. "Well, want an honor" said a voice off screen, David turns to see Roger,
and Elizabeth standing there, "My son, has finally graced us with his presence," said Roger. "Hello, Father, Aunt
Elizabeth," said David. " "Hello son" said Roger in a sarcastic tone, "did you have a nice night out? We've certainly
enjoyed waiting up, wondering if you WERE DEAD!"
I'm sorry" said David, "I was at Michael's, it was very late, so I slept on his couch." "Who's Michael" said Roger,
"Is he Amish, is that why he seems not to have a phone?" "You could have called David" said Elizabeth, "You
know there's a maniac running around, that poor girl upstairs hasn't even woken up since yesterday, It was cruel
of you not to let us know where you were."
"I said I'm sorry" said David, "I'll do better, next time." "Well, you better," said Roger. "Or what, you'll ground me"
said David, "I'm 19 Father, I'm in Collage, you can't ground me." "Well," said Roger, "since your such a mature
adult, maybe you should get your own house, and, pay your own bills, like one."
"That's enough" said Elizabeth, "Your right David, we can't ground you, but being an adult, means acting like one.
so, if you can't, then, maybe you should find so where else to live." "I said I was sorry" said David, "It won't happen
again." "Well, we'll consider the matter closed then," said Elizabeth. David then left the room, and Roger spoke to
her.
"Liz, your to easy on him" said Roger, did you see his eyes, they were bloodshot, I think he's on drugs." "You think
everyone's on drugs Roger," said Elizabeth. "Well, I'm his parent Liz, not just someone pretending to be." Elizabeth
was visibly hurt by Rogers comment. "I'm sorry Liz, That was uncalled for." "More than uncalled for Roger" she said,
"It was cruel. I do think of David as my son, and maybe I am to easy on him. But, don't you dare accuse me of
playing parent again."
"Liz I only meant." Roger is then irrupted by a knock at the door. "Well, talk about this later," said Elizabeth, as she
walked toward the door, and opened it. Standing on the other side was Barnabas. "Good morning, Elizabeth," he said.
"Good morning Barnabas" said Elizabeth, "Your here very early. If your looking for Maggie, she's not here, she, and
Carolyn left at 7:00, on a shopping trip to Bangor. They probably won't be back, until late this afternoon."
"Actually, I was looking for Julia," said Barnabas. "Well, I think she looking after that girl," said Liz. "I sorry, what girl,"
asked Barnabas? "Oh, that's right, you haven't heard" said Elizabeth, "It's the most horrible thing, a girl was found in
the West wing yesterday, delirious." "Julia, and the police"said Roger, "Believe someone held her prisoner, and
tortured the poor girl."
"What" said Barnabas, "that's terrible, do they have any idea, who could have done this?" "None" said Roger, "We
tried to talk the sherif, into placing a curfew, on the town, but he seem to think that would just create panic still, you
should be careful, at night Barnabas." "Yes, thank you, I will" said Barnabas, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I really do
need to speak to Julia." "Well, that girl is in Vickie's old room" said Elizabeth, "Julia's most likely there." "Thank
you I remember the way," said Barnabas, before walking up the stairs.
Julia is in the room, with Willow. She hears a knock at the door, and opens it to see Barnabas. "Good morning,
Barnabas." Good morning, Julie, this the girl, that was found in the West wing (Pointing to Willow)? Roger said she
was held prisoner, and tortured." "Well, that hasn't been proven" said Julia, "But she was in a state of extreme
exhaustion, it would take weeks of being deprived of food, and sleep, to do that. So, being held prisoner, sadly, is
the most logical answer."
"Logic, Julia" said Bananas, "You know very well, logic means nothing in this place." "I don't understand, What do
you mean Barnabas?" "Julia, Angelique has returned!" A look of terror comes over Julia's face "Oh God" she said
"Are you sure, have you seen her?" "Well, not exactly" he said, "But, for weeks I've been having dreams of her, and
there getting worse." The fear leaves Julia's face, and, she begins to laugh. "I'm sorry, Barnabas" she said, trying to
stop laughing, "But, do you hear yourself, dreams."
"DO NOT SPEAK TO ME AS THOUGH I WERE SOME SUPERSTITIOUS FOOL, JULIA," Yelled Barnabas!
"THEY ARE NOT JUST DREAM, I FEEL HER, I FEEL HER HAND, REACHING OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF HELL
IT'S SELF, TO DESTROY ME!" "Barnabas" said Julia, quietly, but sternly, "I have a patient here, so please, lower
your voice. I'm not calling you a Fool, but, having a dream, isn't proof of anything."
"But, that is not my only proof, is it," said Barnabas? he then points to Willow. "You think Angelique did this," said
Julia? "Angelique doesn't even know this girl, even if she is back, why hurt her?" "To send me a message" said
Barnabas, "You say, it took weeks for this girl to end up in this condition, but she could do it with a wave of her
hand, and if she would do this to a complete stranger, how much worse would she do to Maggie, and, I.
Well, I will not wait for that Devil woman to strike, I will kill her, once, and for all!" "Oh stop it Barnabas" said Julia,
with burning anger in her voice, "The whole world, doesn't revolve around you, and, Maggie. (She then gets an
embarrassed look on her face) I'm sorry, I just mean, I think your seeing danger where none is.
Barnabas felt horrible for what had just happened, he knew Julia had been in love with him, for yeas, wile he had
always seen her as, just a friend. He hated that he had hurt her, but he thought she had gotten over him years ago
he now knew he was wrong. "Julia, forgive me, I didn't mean to." Before Barnabas can Finnish, Willow starts to groan.
"She's waking up" said Julia, moving over to the bed, "Mama, can you hear me?" "I'm sorry, Kennedy" said Willow,
I'm so sorry, please don't leave me Baby." Barnabas, and, Julia look at each other, in confusion. "Please" she
continued, "Don't leave me alone, I can't be alone." "Your not alone" said Barnabas, "Your safe, we won't let anyone
hurt you." Giles, is that you," said Willow. "No Mama, my name is Barnabas."
Willow slowly opens her eyes, and looks at Barnabas, a look of terror comes over her face, and she screams. "AAAA
AAHHHHHH!"
"GET AWAY FROM ME," Willow screamed! "It's all right, I'm not going to hurt you," said Barnabas. But Willow wouldn't
calm down. "WHERE AM I," she said? "Your at Collinwood" said Julia, "I'm Doctor Julia Hoffman, and, This is Barnabas
Collins. We only want to help, please clam down."
Willow starts to remember, she had gone back in time, to 1975. Then, she realizes, that they are alive, and starts to
calm down. Then she remembers how Barnabas died, with a stake though his heart. "What time is it," she asked?
"It's almost 730, in the morning, I believe," said Barnabas. "Open the window," she said! "Mama please, calm down"
said Barnabas, "Your perfectly safe, no one is going to." "I WANT TO SEE THE SUN" she interrupted, "OPEN THE
WINDOW!" "All right" said Barnabas, trying to be calm. He walked over to the window, and opened it. The sun covered
him, Willow was relived to see that he didn't burst into flames, and finally calmed down.
"I'm sorry" she said, "I'm just afraid of the dark, I panicked." Suddenly, Elizabeth, and Roger came into the room.
"We heard screaming" said Elizabeth, then she noticed Willow, "Your awake." "These are other members of the Collins
Family" said Julia, "They won't hurt you, This is Elizabeth Stoddered, and Her Brother, Roger Collins." They both greet
her. She is shocked to see them, as they where ghost, in her time, but she stays calm.
"Can, you tell us your name," asked Julia? "Willow Roseinburg," said answered. "That's a lovely name" said Julia, "Can
you tell us how you ended up like this Willow?" Willow suddenly realizes her situation, she can't tell them the truth,
because they'll lock her in the loony been. But she has no story ready to tell them, so she decides to play dumb.
"I was, I think" she said, "I, I can't remember." "It's all right" said Julia, "can you at least tell us, where your from?"
"I" said Willow, doing the best acting she could, "I'm from, I, I can't remember, Why can,t I remember?" "It's all right,"
said Julia. "All right" said Willow, crying now (She had been holding back the urge to cry, since she woke up, and was
glad to finally have an excuses). "It's not all right, I can't remember anything."
"That's not true" said Julia, "You remember your name, that's something." ("Damn it" Willow thought to herself, "My
name, There's all ready a big hole in my story.") "I think we should let her get some rest" said Elizabeth, "I realize
how frightening this must be for you dear, but, you are safe here. If you feel up to it, I'll have some food prepared for you."
"Yes, Thank you" said Willow, "Doctor, what happened to me?" "All we know is that you received, a head injury" said
Julia, "but, I've seen amnesia before, I'm sure your memory will return, in time. I need to leave for a minute, but I'll be
back, and someone will be with you at all time, your not alone."
The Family walks outside, and Julia speaks, "I, ll need to order some medication, I think it's best if we don't tell her what
we suspect, she has enough to deal with as it is."
Inside the Room, Willow lay's on the bed sobbing. What reason did she have to go on now, Kennedy was dead, All her
friends where gone, and now she was trapped in another time. she wished Michael had killed her too. at least she'd
have Kennedy then, now she had no one.

2005 England
We see Giles, talking to someone on the phone. "How could you send her there, without warring her," said the voice
on the phone. I didn't know. Xander" said Giles, "I only researched Collinwood, when Willow went missing, but I never
expected to find anything like this." "Well, some Watcher you are," said Xander. "You can hate me all you want, later"
said Giles, "but right now, we have to concentrate on finding Willow."
"If it's not to late," said Xander. "Don't think like that!" said Giles, "Just meet me there, you and your Slayer." "My
Slayer's not coming" said Xander, "it's really bad here, she's needed. I feel bad enough leaving her. If it was anyone
but Willow, I wouldn't." "Then, we have a problem" said Giles, "None of the other Slayer are available." "Wait, there's
hundreds of Slayers, how can they all be busy," said Xander.
"It's bad everywhere, Xander. Supernatural activity, all over the world, has increased. I don't know why. I thought when
all he Slayers were called, thing would get better, but they seem to only be getting worse." Come on Giles" said
Xander, "We changed the order of the universe, up are arsenal, by a thousand. It was only a matter of time before the
other side did the same. We've picked a fight, that we may not be able to win. This is where I make a joke, right. Good
always wins, How's that for a joke."
"Xander, please, we need to focus." "What about Faith," Xander asked? "She's quit Slaying, I don't even know where she
is," said Giles. "Did she tell any one, where she was going," said Xander? "Yes," said Giles, "she told Willow, and asked
her not to tell anybody else." "Well, this just keeps getting better" said Xander, sarcastically, "all we need now, is for a
big meteor, to hit the Earth, and it'll be perfect."
"We do have one more option," said Giles. "She doesn't care, Giles." "I don't believe that Xander, and nether do you.
She loves Willow, she may have forgotten that, but the love is still there. Let me try her, I'll meet you in Collinsport, one
way or the other.
Xander hangs up, and, Giles dials another number. A woman picks up the phone, on the other end, and say's something
in Italian. "Buffy, it's Giles." "Giles" said Buffy, sounding a little disappointed, "What's up." "Buffy, there's a problem, we
need your." "Stop, right there" said Buffy, "we've had this conversation, I'm always glad to hear from you, as long a the
S, word doesn't come up." Yes," said Giles, "but this is an emergency, Willow, has gone."
"OK" said Buffy, "New rule, we can talk, as long as you don't bring up the S, or, W, word." "Buffy, please, I know you to
had a fight, and you said you didn't want, to be friends anymore, but." "First of all" Buffy, interrupted (Again), Willow, is
the one who said, she didn't want to be friends anymore. Secondly, and, I'm going to say this really slow, since you didn't
seem to hear me the first 900 times, I'M RETIRED."
"Buffy, please, just listed" said Giles, "Kennedy, inherited a large house, called Collinwood, about a month ago, so she,
and Willow took some time of to see it." "That's you emergency" said Buffy, "That Willow took a vacation, believe me it's
long over due, maybe, she'll loosen up, but I doubt were that lucky."
"There's more to it" said Giles, "Willow called, and said, that she encountered a ghost in the house, she was going to do
a cleansing spell, and, said she would call me when it was over, but that was a week ago, and I haven't heard from her
since." "Maybe, she forgot" said Buffy, "But, that's not like her," said Giles. "Yeh" said Buffy, "She's perfected, she can
do no wrong." "Buffy please, take this seriously," "OK, Giles, Willow may not be my favorite person right now, but I still
know what she can do. She's like, Super Witch, if she said she can handle it, she can. Plus, she's dating a Slayer.
That's probably it, she, and Kennedy have been to busy to call."
"There's more, Buffy, after she didn't call, I researched Collinwood, and learned something terrible, Collinwood is built
over a Hellmouth."
Buffy is quite for a moment, then speaks, "Giles, please don't do this to me, I'm tried, I just want to rest." "I'm sorry
Buffy, but this is an emergency, all the other Slayers are far to busy" "Well, what about Faith, I mean, she, and Willow
are such good buddy's now." "Faith, has quit Slaying," said Giles. "Oh, I see" said Buffy, "you have to respected her
wishes, but not mine."
"Faith, didn't let us know where she was going, Buffy, That's why I didn't call her. I wasn't going to call you, but, I did
ask the Coven to do a locater spell on Willow, and Kennedy, They found neither. So, ether they are no longer in this
dimension, or, there Dead!"
As soon as Giles said those words, Buffy dropped the phone, and then dropped to her knees, she felt like she couldn't
breath. All the anger she had toward Willow, was gone, she could only think about what Giles had just said, and how it
was to horrible to be true.
"Buffy, are you still there," said Giles? Buffy picked up the phone, and spoke, "Giles" she said, on the verge of tears, "they
made a mistake, it has to be a mistake!" "I pray to God, that it was, Buffy, but we have to know for sure. Xander, and I, are
going to Collinsport, tonight. I've arranged a plane ticket for you to. Buffy please, we need you, Willow needs you."
"I'll be there," she said, and abruptly hung up the phone. All she could think of, was the last conversation she had with
Willow, and that it might have really been the last.
