The Wish (Part Two)

Wednesday, June 24 (Part Two)

Glory Chase, Cordelia's cousin, sprinted across the field towards the school to warn Giles and the others. She had been spying on the vampires from behind the stage of the Bronze. She rushed into the school library.

"The Master is in the Bronze," she cried.

Cordelia was standing there trying to explain what had happened to reality to Giles. With them was Kat who made up the team of fighters doing what they could to defend Sunnydale against the plague of the undead.

Kat interrupted Cordy, "Someone's coming..."

Glory called out, "It's too late"

The vampires tried to overwhelm the small group. The fight spilled out of the school and into the streets.

During a lull in the combat, Cordy urgently told Giles her story.

"If Buffy came back... they'd be gone. They don't want me to bring Buffy back."

"Good lord," remarked Giles.

"I wished her away."

As Giles pressed Cordy to continue, Kat warned off an attacking vampire, "Back off bloodsucker."

"Who... did you wish to? Did they have a symbol or anything? Think girl, think!"

"Enough talk," cried Glory.

The servants of the Master pressed their assault, but Cordelia was well defended by her friends.

"Giles..."

"Yes Cordelia"

"Here... this thing...." She handed him a necklace. "It's what made Buffy go away."

"Good lord. I must get back to my books. Everyone ... keep them distracted"

It was only when the vampires managed to separate Cordelia from others that they caught her, bound her, and took her as a offering to the Master. But by then Giles had the information he required - and he had the necklace of Anyanka.
