C.C. (CORDELIA CHASE)

There were over thirty names of people she had interacted with people in Sunnydale alone.

What the actual hell?!

"What the hell did you do to my friends!" She growled jumping out of her seat, sending the stool crashing to the ground.

"Rest assured they are fine." Klaus promised as he simply waved his wrist signalling for one of his compelled minions to bring Buffy a new chair. Preferably one that wasn't easily broken.

Picking up Giles's vial, Klaus just grinned, as though preparing for some big dramatic monologue "These here, are memories of the past year, since the moment you killed Angelus." He explained as he waved the vial in front of her.

Buffy's eyes filled with confusion at his statement. She just couldn't understand why he would do this.

Why take away her friend's memories of the past year?


This was insane.

"You see, Marianna was able to remove every memory your little friends in Sunnydale have of you ever moving to Mystic Falls. She then created false memories, of you there with them the whole time."

Despite the explanation, Buffy was ever more confused  "Why would you—"

"Because you were not meant to come here yet. That was supposed to be later. The Prophecy cannot be fulfilled until we get back on track."

Taking in a shaky breath, Buffy just watched him silently. This was all insane and beyond confusing, none of this was making sense to her.

What was so important about this Prophecy that she needed to be in Sunnydale for it to happen?

What needed to happen to set the Prophecy into motion?

Carefully, Klaus pulled out another vial from his pocket. This one was different, however.


It was white. Simmering with magic.


"This here will wipe your memories and once I rewrite in your mind what should have happened, all of your friend's mind will be linked to your new memories. Resetting everything that was broken. It will be as though you never left Sunnydale following the deaths of your mother and Angelus."

Buffy's eyes widened in disbelief as everything started to click together, he wanted to erase everything.

Every second of her life since she had moved back to Mystic Fall.

 He was planning on taking away every memory with Elena, Jeremy, Bonnie, Caroline, and the Salvatores.


Everything.


Her life would be completely reset.


"So I won't remember, anything?"

Klaus nodded in confirmation "Downside, I know. You will not remember the friends you have made here or your little boyfriend. That will all be gone. But I give you my word that I will leave them be."

"How can I trust you?" Buffy hissed "I don't exactly see Elijah around here jumping for joy cause he's been reunited with his family."

Nope, instead Elijah was rotting away in a box.

"Yes well, it's either this or I return to Mystic Falls and take your boyfriend...and well, I will make him worse than Angelus."

At his little threat, Buffy glared at him furiously but bit her tongue to keep from snapping.

She didn't have a choice here. This wasn't just about keeping Stefan out of Klaus's hands, this was about making sure that Klaus left town.

Making sure that Elena, Jeremy, and all of her friends were safe.

"Okay..." She whispered softly as she reached for one of the glasses of bourbon Klaus's compelled minion brought over.

The liquid was down her throat in a second "How do we do this?" She coughed out, trying not to groan in disgust at the vile taste rushing down her throat.

Klaus chuckled at her reaction and reached for his own glass, however, before he could start to explain the next step that had to be taken a pair of heels clicked loudly against the floor.



Marianna had returned.



"Buffy's car?" He questioned as he stirred the bourbon in his glass.

Mary sighed as she moved over to the pair and snatched the glass out of her brother's hands "I had it sent over, the house has been prepared. It will be as though she never left."

With that, she downed his drink before slamming the glass back down on the table, glaring furiously at her brother "Our deal?" She pushed, wanting nothing more than to get this over with.

Klaus laughed loudly before glancing over at Buffy and pushing a new glass of bourbon toward her "Apologies love, this won't take but a moment."

As Buffy ignored the glass and simply grabbed the bottle of bourbon instead, drinking straight from it, Klaus stood from his chair.


The sooner he dealt with Marianna the sooner everything would be set back into motion.


"Miguel!" He yelled loudly cueing the door at the back of the warehouse to open as a very handsome Latin Warlock walked through the doors, and headed straight over to Klaus.


 Buffy sputtered slightly at the sight of him, because damn!


Ignoring Buffy, Klaus rolled his eyes before turning to Miguel and gesturing to an awaiting Marianna "Do it."


With that, Mary and Miguel walked over to one of the crates where all the required vials of blood from the different bloodlines were waiting.

As Mary placed the parchment containing the spell on the crate she slowly spilled the blood over it, before grabbing a dagger and slicing it across her own palm.

The blood of the last living member Von Swartzchild clan mixed with the rest of the blood.

As candles started to flare around them, Miguel dipped his hands through the mix of blood before moving to cup Mary's face as his eyes fluttered shut.
