8 - Sunnydale, Alternative timeline, 1998
This never happens.
Cordelia's vengeance is bitter. The Slayer will die, history will change irrevocably. Anyanka's uneasy. It's going too well.
Uneasiness becomes certainty as seven small forms slip into a jewellery store. If they're here pursuit can't be far benind...
One of the midgets has an axe; Anyanka snaps his neck, takes it, moves in on the rest. She finishes the boy quickly, no point upsetting Halfreck. Now nothing will bring the Supreme Being here.
A summons takes her to the Watcher, where things go wrong. The change reverses.
It never happens. But Anyanka remembers, so do the midgets.
