It had been quite a crazy weekend. I mean first I had this idea to hold a brunch, which of course never goes smoothly. I mean get five Krysch demons in a room and add bean dip? You are asking for trouble. So you can't blame me for getting sidetracked. I mean running an island of timeline rejects is more than a part time gig. I should have known better than to just leave them alone for a while. I mean they all are a bunch of prophecy ruiners, why I trusted them? Who knows.
So I was about to go refill the chip tray, when I saw something in my viewing mist. I had been just leaving it up for the most part, just amused that the crazy things they were up to. I mean I was shocked when Connor staked Spike, but you know what? It wasn't really a problem. The problem though? I saw them all aligned in a circle with candles, and well spell things. Now normally I would have hopped down there and taken care of it, but I wasn't about to leave my house with the guys waiting on me in the living room. I mean talk about coming back to a mess? I figured that they couldn't really get enough power to really do anything damaging, and why not just see what they could get done.
So I went back to my party. Now Bahryshk was the one that noticed it. Of course I had my back to the mist, but he had been interested so he was watching it out of the corner of his third eye. It struck me as odd when he said, "Man, look at that Wiccan go!". So I set down my margarita and took a look. I couldn't really let them go any further, but I did have to deal with my guests. Needless to say I made it just in time to see the spell get completed.
I phased onto the island and saw all my little castaways all in the front room, with a vortex in the middle of them. Sparks flying out everywhere and it was pretty much chaos. Whatever spell they had found, or worked or whatever was doing something, but the vortex was a bit odd looking. I mean I had seen vortexes before, hell made a few of them, and this wasn't right.
I took a glance at all the things they had. I mean this was some serious stuff, it wasn't like they could just find it on the island, I mean they would have needed a Magick Store, or a... oh yeah. A room they could imagine full of Magick supplies. Okay, so I didn't think that one through. It was too late now to do anything about it too. Whatever spell they had cast was working. My only though was that maybe it wouldn't work. Sparks and lightening were being thrown off the vortex, then there was this crazy noise, and then nothing. It just died down. Like a big ol' raspberry. I had to smile.
So I started my little monologue. I mean I was a villain, I had to monologue, it is in the handbook. I told them that they took advantage of me. That I had tried to be nice and give them all the modern conviences, and a place to sleep, but they had to go an ruin it. They had to abuse my generosity.

"You think you can do that? Just use everything I gave you against me? You think you can solve your problems with borrowed Magick witch? Think you can just figure it out? There is no way you are crossing me. I brought you here, and I can take you out."
***
It was pretty cool, I mean I started with Illyria. I had trusted her, sure I took her powers, actually sold them the other day. However she was probably still too strong for me to realize at the time that she couldn't really stay on the island. With a flick of my wrist I sent her into a black hole. That will teach the crusty leather girl. I'd like to see her get out of that one. Plus she was never part of my plan, I just thought I would at least give her a chance to live. I owed her that much. However she crossed me, and had to be dealt with.
Now they all thought that they could just get off the island, and go back home. The problem is that they had been here for months. If they actually went back to their time? They would be locked up in an instant, or just too emotionally unstable to deal with it all. Like my little Potential Slayer. In the time she had been here she had fallen in love, and then forgotten all about it. And from the looks of Marissa and her holding hands? Someone must have fixed my spell. Not like it was that tough. I mean if she wanted to go home? Fine. Let's send her home.
***
"Well look at you two! I guess someone fixed that brain problem of yours... well not the intelligence, but at least you got your memories back. Pretty good ones too, at least from what I saw. So you are all dealing with it now right? Trying to sort out your new life on the island? Hoping that when you get home that you won't forget about this green eyed girl? How about we test your theory. I bet Willow would love to hear about your adventures."
***
Now I knew I could send Kennedy back, and to make it worse? I sent her back about... five minutes after the spell had taken affect. So not only was I a bitch? But Kennedy missed out on being a Slayer... again. Then add on top of it all the fact that I sent her back with all her new Porn-tastic memories, and I shoved Marissa in there too. I mean the poor thing wouldn't survive anyway. Plus I don't do refunds.
So I had been thinning the herd. Took out three of them in one swoop. Of course no one knew just what I was doing with them, just that they were not there anymore. For all they knew I had killed them, and that was fine with me. I crossed them off my list, well the list of things to do now that I knew what they had tried. The biggest problem I had was the fact that they used my magick against me.
The Resort.
***
"So you are all probably pretty proud of yourselves. I mean you thought of this little plan all on your own, you even made an attempt at a spell, but I told you Willow. You are just little Wicca here. No matter what you get the ex-demon to tell you, you aren't there yet. However I can't risk anything else happening like this. It's a shame really, I mean you all had it pretty good here. You could have just stayed here in the resort and dealt with the day to day. Instead? You had to go and mess it up. So consider your castaway days restarted."
***
I snapped my fingers and the group of them were outside the resort on the beach. I phased over to them, the confused huddle of people. I told them to say goodbye to their home, and then it was gone. Then? I was gone. I mean I had left my party guests playing Scrabble.
So I got back just in time to catch Bernie cheating! I called him on it, and they all asked how it went. I was pretty pleased until once again I heard Bahryshk speak up again....
"Who the hell is that blonde??"
"WHAT?? Well I'll be damned... the vortex worked... sort of. HA!"
