====================================
Previously -
Jesse noticed them and started in their direction instead.
He never saw Faith coming. As the stake drove through his
heart, he turned his head to look at her. He saw a tear
and heard her voice before he turned to dust.
"I'm sorry. I promised. I love you J." With the fight
raging around her, she fell to the ground and cried. "I'm
sorry, I wish I could change it all."
She heard an unfamiliar voice. She looked up to see a
demon standing in front of her.
"Tell me what you wish. Just say it and it's yours."
===========================================
CHAOS
Willow heard the voice and turned her head. She saw Faith
about to say something to the vengeance demon. "Faith!
Don't say a word!"
Faith, still in tears, didn't know why, but she heeded
Willow's warning and kept her mouth shut.
Anyanka turned and looked at Willow. "I think not, Witch.
Another time."
Willow gestured towards the sky with both hands. She felt
an energy surging through her. She heard voices in her
head. *your shirt you're a goddess softer side of sears
rank arrogant amateur you can undo it red what are we
going to do now Buffy osiris hear me bored now*
She whispered. "Chaos stilled." Around her everything
froze in place and time. Everything. She saw one of the
Giles suspended midair, the result of a powerful blow.
Jesse's ashes had begun to drift away and were stopped.
Nothing moved. She walked to the demon who had caused it
all.
"Anyanka bound, speak."
The thing came to life but was unable to move. She looked
at Willow. "You. I should have known. Will you really
seek a vengeance against me for fulfilling your wish?"
"What wish?"
Anyanka looked closer at Willow. "You really don't know."
"No, I really don't."
"For the one all powerful, you really aren't that bright."
The description startled Willow. The one all powerful.
She didn't let it show. "The one all powerful, as you
like to call me, is about to wipe you out of existence. I
want this crap undone."
"Oh, so sorry. You don't have that kind of power. You
had your wish."
"Stop saying that! I never wished for this."
"Maybe you didn't, but another you did and I'm surprised
you don't see it."
Willow closed her eyes. She couldn't sense anything. She
tried harder. She saw a clown for just a moment but the
image faded. Trying again, she concentrated on the image
she had seen and it became clear. What kind of world
existed where she would ever wish this on anyone?
"I want it undone."
"And you don't have a wish coming."
Willow turned towards Faith and made a brushing gesture
with her hand. Faith turned towards the two of them.
"Willow?"
"Faith, listen carefully. Don't say anything except what
I tell you to say. Do you understand?"
Faith nodded.
"Look this...thing... in the eye and tell it that you wish
that I was face to face with The Clown."
Faith opened her mouth to question Willow. There was so
much she could wish for. All she wanted was Jesse back.
But she understood that this was important. She knew that
Willow could make this all right, put things the way they
were. The thing was, there was something she needed to
have changed. Something small. She looked at the demon.
"I wish that Willow and I were face to face with The
Clown."
Both women gripped their heads and fell to their knees.
When they were able to stand, they saw in front of them a
rift of sorts - an anomaly? And standing beside the
anomaly was a Clown. It opened its' mouth to protest, but
Willow stopped it with a wave of her hand.
Anyanka vanished.
Willow looked at Faith. "I can't do that."
"You don't know-"
"I do know, and I can't. It will alter my reality."
"Willow, it's the only way I'll let this happen. Deny me
and you've wronged me. In my heart, that would be a wrong
worth some big vengeance. I don't like this mess and I
don't like my life. I'm willing to go back to my life
though. but only if you do this. Otherwise, I'll make it
worse."
The witch sighed. "Ok. Fine." She walked towards The
Clown until they were nose to nose and waved her hand
again.
The Clown was startled. This creature dared confront
him?! It would teach it a thing or two. It tried to will
her away, but was unable to do so. Again, for the second
time in his existence, it felt dread.
"You can NOT do this to me. You are nothing. I am-"
"You're a clown."
"I am-"
"Shut up."
The Clown shut up.
"I don't know why or how, but with all the power I've ever
had, or will ever have, I can do things. I can control
you here and now. I can erase YOUR existence. You will
never have existed. Do you understand."
It did and nodded to show so.
"But - and this is the part I don't understand, nor do I
really need to - But, for some reason, I can't fix this
mess. I can't undo what you've done. Neither could the
vengeance demon. I could feel it. You can, and I want it
undone."
"No." It reached out and with all his might, tore the
rift as large as it would tear.
Willow closed her eyes and saw people - millions and
millions of people - dying, merging into the same
existence, killing each other. She did the first thing
her body told her to do. She did what Glory had done to
Tara. She put her hands in The Clown's head. The Clown
shrieked in agony. It had never experienced pain of any
sort and here this mere mortal was with her physical body,
intruding on it's existence, its' being!
Willow leaned forward the little more that she could until
she was lip to lip with The Clown. She started to
whisper.
A tear fell from an eye of The Clown. It nodded.
==============================================
THE WORSE
THE BAD
THE GOOD
Dawn was sitting on her bed when she felt it and she fell
backwards. She wanted to open her door and run from the
house! She could hear people crying, people screaming,
buildings falling. Then it stopped.
=================================================
CHAOS
The Clown was alone once more. Maybe it had been alone
the whole time. It snapped its' fingers and the rift
sealed itself. It felt a dull ache in its' head and
wondered what could ever have caused that?
