I don't own any of the Joss Whedon, or Dark Shadows character.
My name is Willow Rosinbreg.
I have been sent to the year 1975. Now I try to stop the evil that will destroy the Collins family. But that evil has stripped me, of my powers. And tonight, in the old house. It takes it revenge on Barnabas Collins (Ok, how do I know that? And why do I forget, two seconds after saying this? And who the HELL, am I talking too?). For tonight, his worst fear, will come true.
Barnabas picks up the box, and starts to throw it, into the fire. But it opens by itself, and a bat flys out, and attacks him. "AAAHHHHAAAA," he screams, as it bites, into his neck. He falls to the ground, and sees Angelique standing over him. "Merry Christmas Barnabas," she says, as she laughes. "Oh Barnabas. Did you really think you could beat me? Did you really think I'd let you marry Maggie Evens? (He trys to reach for her, to strangle her. But he's far to weak, from blood loss) Don't fight it, dear. It's your destiny. You are a monster, as I am. (Barnabas muttred, to himself) Are you praying? Ah ha ha ha ha. He doesn't care. Not for you. I'm the only one, that can help you now. So, if you must pray. Pray to me. Pray to your Godess Angelique."

"The whole family" said Maggie, in disbelief, "Dead? And Michael controls Collinwood?"
"Pretty much" said Willow. She was still surprised, that Maggie believed her, so quickly. But if she really lived though all, she said, it made sense.
"And your a witch, like Cassandra?"
"No, I'm a good witch. I have good magic. Well, I did, before she put this damn, binding spell, on me. That's where I need your help. If I can break it, I can fight her. But I need to find a magic shop. And, I hate to ask, but I may need some money. Misses Stoderd is letting me work, helping Misses Johnson. But I won't get paid, for another week. And I don't think we have that long."
"Well, what do you need?"
"It's a long shot, There's a spell, I can do, to break it. But seening, as I have no powers. I can't do it. But if I can find something, to power the spell, it may work. I hate to put you, in the middile of this, but I need help."
"How do I know, your not helping Cassandra? "
"You don't. But you know she's evil. And you need help, fighting her. Your the only one, I have.

The Present.
Giles steps off the plane. He looks around and see's Xander standing there. Xander looks difrent from the last time he saw him. His hair's longer, and he has a beard. "Hello Xander."
"Giles" said Xander, "How've you been."
"I've been better. I've still heard nothing from." Suddenly they hear footsteps, and turn to see Buffy walk to them.
"Hey guys" see said, as she hugged Giles, and then Xander (Xander didn't return it), "It's good to see you Xander."
"Yeah, you too" said Xander coldly, "We should go." Xander seemed so diffrent. Not the happy
jokester she remembered. But a cold bitter man. She wonderd what happed to him, since they last saw each other.
"So no word from Willow?"
"Do you care?"
"How can you even ask me that Xander? Yes Willow, and I had problems, but I still love her!"
"Do you always kick people you love, out of your lives?"
"I didn't kick her out of my life. She chose to leave it! And that's not important now! We need to find her!"
"Yeah, I'm sure this is a real inconvenient for you."
"How dare you! I love Willow, that hasn't changed!"
"If you say so."
"Enough" said Giles, "Willow need are help! So put it aside, Or go home!" They looked at him, with shame, in there eyes. "I'm sorry Buffy," said Xander.
"Yeah, me too." They give each other, an ackward hug, and Giles speaks, "Alright. As I was saying, I've still not heard from her. But I did some reseach, on the Collins Family. There is one living member, of the family. Carolny Stodderd. She went mad, after the family died. And She lives with a Willie Lommis. "
"I think we need to meet Willie," said Buffy.

The past.
Lisa is sitting at the bar, having a drink. Michael walks up, and sits down. "Well, look who's here," he said.
"Go to hell," said Lisa.
"Oh come on, where's your Chirstmas spirit?"
"It's up your ass, go find it."
"Langage, little lady. That's no way to speak."
"Aren't you the jackass, that called me a bastard?"
"Yes. Aren't you the bitch, that called my friend's family, thieves, liars, murders, and everything else, you could think of?"
"No, I was just telling the truth."
"Then prove it. prove it's true, and I'll say I'm sorry. Until then."
"Is there any reason your here?"
"I came to drink. This bar seems to be the only one opened, today. So here I am. I don't celibrate Chirstmas, you see. I think it's a scam, to get peoples money. Did you know, it has nothing to do, with Jesus. It was a pagan holiday. The Church tried to get the heathns, to stop. But it was no go. So they started saying, It was Christ's birthday."
"Actualy, I did know that. So you can leave now."
"But I haven't heard why you don't celibrate."
"Tough!"
"Alright. Bartender, I'd like a shot of whiskey, straight. And whatever the lady wants."
"Excuss me? I can buy my own drinks. Go pick up, some one else !"
"Your welcome."

Quentin, and Julia walk to the old house. Suddenly they hear Willie screaming. They run to the house, and find Willie, standing over Barnabas. And they see the marks, on the neck.
"OH GOD" said Julia, "NO!"
"Barnabas" said Quentin, "What Happened Willie?"
"I don't know! I just found him, like this! OH GOD! It's going to happen again. He's gonna wake up. He's gonna find someone. Maggie. NO!"
"He's not Willie" said Julia, "We just have to think! Coffin, We need a coffin, for him. Before sunrise."
"He got rid of the old one."
"We'll we need a new one."
"Where am I supposed to get that Julia, Hu? I can't just get a coffin!"
"Well' you'll just have to, Willie!"
"Alright, calm down" said Quentin, "I know where his coffin is. After he got rid of it, I had it put in storage. Just in case." Suddenly Barnabas began to get up. There was a wild, animal look, in his eyes. "Barnabas" said Julia, "Just try to remain calm. I know it looks bad. But I've managed to cure you, before. (She knew, that cure, wouldn't work now. Barnabas had become inmune to it. But she had to keep him, clam) Don't give up. We have to."
"Get out," He growled.
"We're just trying to help," said Quentin.
"The hunger! Go, before I hurt you!" They realise they have to go. Before he can't stop himself. After he trys not to leave thew house. But finds himself leaving, and going to the docks. "No" he thinks to himself" I can't do this. I have to stop. I can't. I won't!"
"Hey stranger" said a woman, walking toward him, "are you looking for some company?"
"Maybe I am."
"Well, maybe I can give you what you need? (she wraps her arms, around him) how about me, handsome,?" He moves in, to kiss her, or so she thinks. Instead he sinks his new fangs, into her neck, as she screams.

They next day.
Willow makes her way, to the shop Maggie told her about, after she droped her off. All she can do, is hope it's a real one. She opens the door, and a woman, in her 40's walks up to her. "Blessed be" said the woman, "how may I help you?"
"Joyce" said Willow, in shock?
"Excuss me" said the woman, my name is Lara Shelby?"
"Sorry, you look like someone I know. (Ok, this is getting old) ANyway, I was looking for something. DO you have Crystal, of Jasher."
"I see" said Lara, "Forgive me for asking, but the crystal, is very powerful. If you not experienced."
"I am, experieced."
"wel, even so. This is dangerous. Are you sure, you know, what you doing."
"I hope so." Lara sells her, the crystal, but give a conserned look, as she leaves. On her way, to meet Maggie, she sees Lisa. "Oh no," said Lisa, as she tried to run. But Willow caugth up with her.
"Hey, Lisa right?"
"Stay away, from me! I will hurt you!"
"Wait! please just let me talk. Five minutes, and I'll never bother you again. Please?"
"Five minutes, that's it!"
"I, I just wanted to apologise. I know I must have seemed crazy."
"Ya think."
"I deserve that. But see. I know how this is going to sound, but you look like my (Think Willow) my sister."
"Do you act crazy, around her?"
"She's dead. (Lisa finnaly stops looking mad) She was murderd. I know this sound crazy, but you could be her twin. I saw you, and I thought I'd been given a mirical. After I reallised, what a fool, I'd been. I'm sorry, I just wanted to say, I'm sorry I did that. I won't bother you again."
Willow walked away, trying not to cry.
"Wait" said Lisa, stoping her, "

"No, it's Ok, I get it. I must have seemd lonny tunes."
"I really look that much like her?'
"You do."
