All righty guys. I finally wrote more!!!! YAAAY!! Go me! ( Ok, I know
some people are unhappy with how I've done Willow so far. Who am I
kidding, I'M unhappy with the way I've done Willow so far. So don't worry,
I'm gonna start doing more with her, starting with this chapter. ( It's
not great, but it's better than the lack of anything that I had before.
Oh, another thing, I said in the first ch. That Ariana is based off of me,
and then rereading this stuff, I thought, "OMG! What if someone thinks my
parents died when I was three!" So, my parents are both alive, thank you.
Oh, and I don't have black hair. I wish I did though. ( So, Ariana's
PERSONALITY is based on me. ( Ok, I'm done. Read.
Ariana POV
Well, that worked out well. Finally they got the message. Sigh. They've been driving the Powers crazy. If only they'd thought about it a little bit more, or perhaps a little bit less. Anyway. "Well, this should be nice and simple," I said, pulling some things out of my bag. "It'll just take a few minutes so we can do it before we eat." I smiled. "That way, Angel can have a good time out with us at Caritas." Everyone stared at me. "Well," I said, "were else we would go to eat?" Lorne blinked a few times, then grabbed my arm lightly and pulled me towards him. "What do mean? Caritas was destroyed. Twice!" "Yes," I replied, "that's why I decided to fund the little bar." I smiled. "I'm quite fond of it. It was such a good idea, you just needed someone to give you some financial backing for when it blows up." I pulled out of his grip and resumed setting things up. "Buffy, you come stand over here. And Ang over there. Good." "Wait a second," Lorne interrupted, "do you mean to tell me that Caritas is back?" "Yes," I replied shortly. At his look of confusion and from the hopeful glint in his eye I got what it was that he was trying to ask. "It's yours of course," I said kindly, "unless you don't want it that is. But you are quite welcome to come over whenever you want." I smiled at him. "In fact, a lot of your old regulars have come and keep pestering me about you. It'd really be a kindness to me if you went back." I put out the last necessary things for the spell while Lorne sat down, grinning and stunned. I then turned to Willow. "I'll be right here the whole time helping you," I told her. "Don't worry about a thing. You can do this. Just draw from the Earth, not the Abyss." Willow nodded. She and I had been talking a lot, mostly telepathically though. To everyone else she seemed silent. To me, she was screaming. After a few days I had managed to get her to regular thinking patterns again. She didn't seem better on the outside, but inside, she was doing absolutely wonderful. For how bad she was, of course. Willow smiled at the others a bit peacefully. She sat in the middle of the circle I had drawn with the sand. I put my hand on her shoulder and whispered in her mind, "Now, open yourself to the power of the Earth. Let her speak to you. Let her show you what you need to do." I could see in Willow's mind that the Earth's power was guiding her again, and I could sense the relief in Willow, as she was able to keep her power in control. You see, the Earth's power is peaceful and orderly. The Abyss' power is wild and chaotic. Everyone watched as a bright light surrounded the couple. We could all see the rip in Angel's soul being mended with a bit of Buffy's own. Everyone could see the way their souls, their auras melted together and formed one. "YES!" Willow shouted. "I DID IT!!!!!!!" And everyone grinned.
