“Hey,” Willow said, waking into the gardener’s shed, carrying some clean clothes, and food in a brown paper bag.
A naked Oz looked up at her, “Willow?”
“Here I brought you some clothes and food,” she said, placing the stuff near him and turning her back to him so he could change.
He took the clothes and put them, “Where am I? How did I get here?”
Willow looked at him, “A spell, it was accident. I did this spell with some other girls and it granted a wish and my wish was to see you but it kinda back fired and brought you here all wofey.”
“Did I hurt anyone?”
“No.”
Oz nodded and walked over to Willow, brushing a stray stand of hair out of her face, “You okay?”
“I don’t know. Its bad Oz the magic they’re using its bad,” Willow said, her voice laced with fear.
“Shh,” he told her, kissing her, “We’ll get through this.”
“No,” Willow said, “You have to go home and need to take care of this on my own.”
“Willow?”
“Please, I need to do this.”
“Okay,” Oz said. He kissed her and left.
Willow sighed and watched him go.
***********************
“We have to reverse the spell,” Willow said coming over to the lunch table Michelle, Kate, and Gwen were sitting at.
“Yeah okay,” Kate said, sarcastically.
Willow frowned and put on her resolve face, “You don’t understand if we don’t do this….”
“No, you don’t understand,” Kate said, “We reverse the spell and everything goes back to the way it was, I don’t want that. Do you want that Michelle?”
“No.”
“Gwen? Gwen?”
“No,” Gwen said.
“See no one wants oh and another thing you’re not welcome here anymore.”
“What?”
“I know about your little binding spell,” Kate said with a harsh laugh, “Did you really expect me not to find out?”
“Kate, I was just trying….”
“You know, in the old days, if a witch betrayed her coven, they would kill her,” Kate said.
Willow looked at her a little shocked and scared.
“Are you scared?” Kate said as the bell rang, “Cuz you should be. When we’re done with you, you’re going to wish you were dead.”
She got up and knocking into Willow as she left. Michelle and Gwen followed her. Gwen glanced back at Willow but continued with the others.
**************
“Gwen, Gwen wake up we need to talk,” Willow said nudging her room mate and former friend.
Gwen groaned, “What time is it?”
“It doesn’t matter look at this,” Willow said, shoving and ancient manuscript into Gwen’s hands.
“You’re completely unhinged,” Gwen replied, turning on her bedside lamp and looking at the text. She looks up at Willow, “Thanks for sharing.”
She hands the book back and begins to lie back down and turn her back on Willow.
“Gwen? This is bad like end of the world bad.”
Gwen sighed and turned over looking Willow straight in the eyes, “I don’t wanna go back to being a freak. I can’t.” Tears began to form in her eyes but she wiped them away, “Besides she wouldn’t do that, destroy the world. Kate’s a bitch yeah but she wouldn’t bring about an apocalypse.”
“She’s changed. She killed people.”
“It was an accident.”
“You don’t seriously believe that.”
“Yes I do.”
“Then what happens when the next accident is you.”
“Let me see the book,” Gwen states, holding out her hand. Willow hands it over and Gwen examines it more closely this time, “Oh god it’s the end of the world.”
Willow nods, “I can stop them without your help. I know you want to be normal but….”
Gwen looks at her tears forming in her eyes, “Where’s the reversal spell?”
Willow smiles sadly and hugs Gwen.
*******************
“We need a reversal spell,” Willow told the shop keeper of the Dragon’s Cove.
“Do you?” the keeper replied, “What spell?”
“Invoking the spirit,” Gwen replied.
“You girls invoked the spirit,” she asked, anger flashing in her eyes, “With those girls you’re in here with usually?”
Willow nodded.
“Are you trying to kill us all?”
“We’re trying to make it right,” Willow stated simply as the lights in the shop began to flicker, “They’re coming.”
“Listen to me,” she said, grabbing hold of Willow’s shoulder’s, “You must stand against them, you must invoke the spirit.”
“She can’t do that, did you see what it did to Kate?” Gwen said.
“Manon is neither dark nor light, your friend took the power and used it for evil but you can use it for good and to make things right.”
“There has to be another way,” Willow said as the store began to shake.
“There isn’t, you must invoke the spirit, claim the power, and use it to restore the natural order. Come with me. Hurry,” she said, talking Willow and Gwen’s hands and bringing them into a room in the back filled with candles.
“Guardians of the watch towers of the north,” Willow began grabbing Gwen’s hand. The lights blacked out, all that illuminated the room were the few lit candles, “I can’t. They’re coming. We have to go.”
She and Gwen left as the shopkeeper called after them.
