My Website: http://www.dragonwriter17.net/ Feedback: Yes, but only if it�s of the non-flamey variety: DragonWriter17@aol.com Distribution: Mystic Muse and my personal site above. (If you are interested in posting this on your site, please contact me first for permission.) Spoilers: All seven seasons of BtVS, but especially Seasons 6 and 7. Pairings: Willow/Other (Sara) Author�s Notes: (1) This story is in screenplay format, not in fiction format. It is the second of a series of screenplays intended to reunite Alyson Hannigan and Amber Benson in several spin-off TV movies that focus on the character of Willow. However, they feature a new character for Amber Benson: Sara. (2) Since the Willow and Sara Series is designed to be a true spin-off, it does employ only canon background material. (3) Shattered Illusions should be read first. Number of Chapters: 7 acts Complete: Yes Summary: Willow and Sara are a month into their new relationship. All is going well--until Wai-Yi, a powerful warlock from China, comes calling. He has come halfway around the world for one thing and one thing only: Willow. But not the good Willow we all know and love. No, he wants Evil Willow. And he�s willing to do anything to get her, including raising Warren from the dead and enlisting his aid in the project. Gifted with powers from Wai-Yi, Warren begins a campaign of terror designed to push Willow over the edge. When Warren fails, Wai-Yi takes matters into his own hands. He succeeds in bringing out Evil Willow, but in the process, he gets more than he expected. Sara ends up being the only thing standing between Evil Willow and the world.

It has huge paintings on every wall. The paintings depict places from Willow�s past and present. Willow sees a painting of the old Sunnydale High School Library, the dorm room she shared with Buffy, the bedroom she shared with Tara at Buffy�s house. When she sees this last one, she touches the painting, and her hand disappears into the painting. She pulls it quickly back. Then she puts her hand back in, realizing that the paintings are like doorways. Willow moves on. She sees a picture of her office, her house, and her bedroom.

They quickly set up a sacred circle on the hospital tray: a candle, an incense holder, a silver cauldron with sand and a bundle of herbs in it, a glass chalice of water, and the doll�s eye crystal in the center. Andrew lights the candle then uses its flame to light some incense. He holds the candle in his hand then waves the incense over the circle.

Wai-Yi is standing at the doorway, apparently invisible to them. WAI-YI
