AUTHOR'S NOTE: Answer to Challenge from Bill & Shadow 

1. You have to write a story where Buffy is EVIL and is now running 
Sunnydale as her own property or fiefdom to protect and control, (ala 
evil Warlord Xena). She's set herself up as the undisputed ruler of 
Sunnydale. 
However, there are stipulations to this:
1. Buffy cannot be possessed, vamped, spelled, demoned or anything 
else. Buffy must have chosen to be evil. 
2. Willow has to be at her side, (whether Willow is her 
mate/slave/ally doesn't matter) 
3. The reason why Buffy decided to be evil (told in 
flashbacks/thoughts is irrelevant) that one or more of the Scoobs or 
Joyce's death at the hands of a demon (or what have you) is a must. 
4. This can be told as of the event that caused this (the past), as 
she is ruling Sunnydale (the present) or near/before/after her death 
as she reflects on what got her to where she is (the present). 



Acid String Quartet
Prologue: Who am I?



They call me the Ice Queen. 

It should have been 'Water Queen' to match my fellow rulers' titles 
of Earth, Wind and Fire, but 'Ice' is more of my nature. It implies 
solid, permanence, relentless, but still has that implication of 
power to destroy.

I like it that way.

Do things my way, and I am the soothing coolness to your glass of 
water.

Fuck with me, and I am the iceberg that sank the Titanic and sent a 
couple of thousand men, women and children to a watery grave.

My co-rulers are no less helpful or destructive. 

The Queen of Earth can be the fertile soil in which you plant your 
crops, or the raging quake that kills thousands.

The Queen of Winds can be a gentle summer breeze or a hurricane of 
destruction.

And the Queen of Fire can warm you on the cold nights or sear your 
flesh in the inferno of her wrath.

'Why with our powers don't we control more of the world?' you ask. 

We could. And in time we will. But while my fellow Queens might 
occasionally wish to hasten the inevitable, I am ever constant in my 
course of action.

Besides, if we were to conquer the world today, what would we do for 
fun tomorrow?

I have called them my co-rulers, but the truth is that I am the one 
who truly rules. I say this, not to be boastful, but because it is 
so. 

Who am I?

My name is Buffy Anne Summers. 

I rule the town of Sunnydale. 

More importantly, I rule the only active Hellmouth in the world. 

It is a sanctuary for anyone, human or demon. Your business is your 
own unless you break my laws.

As long as everyone behaves, nobody gets hurt.

And believe me, I know how to make it hurt.

How did I get to this position? Well... not so long ago there was 
this girl who was born to be 'The Chosen One.' The Council of 
Watchers guided and instructed her in her powers, and for years, she 
fought the demonic threat whenever it raised its ugly head. 

As a reward, the Council murdered her mother.
