Now Wanda reveals the good information. So Wanda claimed that strong dark magic would take her back in time, so the scythe has white magic, so is Rach the dark magic? If he tries to betray her, will the white magic prevail? Your muse is most sadistic leaving the chapter where he told you to. (Makes faces at your muse). Funny how Dawn talked her out of what her heart wanted, I always thought all along that Dawn had it good in this reality, I mean sure she lost her family and the support Buffy's friends, but she is living her life on her terms without any obligations or duties to upholding the fight against evil. Buffy getting a magical buzz making her complacent to her mission must be something Rack must've done to hook her as his new drug slave. I can only hope that higher powers withing the scythe prevail over his twisted plot. Makes a vodoo doll of your muse and sticks a pin in it to make him pay for the cliffy. LOL! Look forward to the next chapter. PS: Yay for Lilah bringing in Joyce and Wanda.

Author's Response: Hi Vette... yeah, Rack is the dark magic, the Scythe is the power and, as you said, white magic. Hopefully, it will be strong enough to compensate for whatever Rack has in mind.

Yes, my muse is evil ... evil to the core - unfotunately, he's proud of that and loves evil cliffies! He's sticking his tongue out at you...heehee! OUCH! he just felt that pin prick! LOL!

I always kinda liked Lilah, myself ... you pretty much knew where you stood with her, she never pulled any punches. I think she might've actually felt a little bad that she couldn't fix the magical veil that let them see only the bad that Spike had done ... this was her way to help make it right.

Got more up so we can see what Rack did and what happens next! Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Love your reviews, as always! -p4s 2011.06.07

rack - i always wondered why he called her that off name. and i do think he'll double-cross her. but ... i don't think he's ever known the power of a truly livid slayer - her anger toward him. especially when this is her final chance and she has everything to lose ...

looking forward to more!

Author's Response: Hi rkm .. That strange name will come into play later and it will make more sense (I hope!). Rack will definately do *something* to mess up her plans - he doesn't want her to be successful, that's for certain. We'll just have to see what kind of trick he plays on her. Thanks so much for reading ! I really apprecaiate it and love hearing from you! -P4S 2011.06.07

Buffy always does best when she follows her instincts (or heart in this case). Too bad that she listened to Dawn. Even if she fixes things will she still be hard and bitter from her experiences?

Author's Response: Hi Sibb... Yeah, that's gonna be perhaps the hardest thing for her to come to grips with. Can she ever let anyone back in again? What can break down the walls around her heart? We'll find out soon. Thanks so much for reading and stopping in! Love hearing from you! -p4s 2011.06.07
