THIRD PERSON POV
Back at the halloween shop, the man comes through the a curtain and kneels before a statue of Janus. He presses his hands together and winces in pain. When he pulls them apart, there are wounds in his palms, and blood flows freely from them.
"The world that denies thee, thou inhabit." he recites. He dabs the blood from his left hand with his right middle finger and smears it over his right eyelid. "The peace that ignores thee..." he then dabs the blood from his right hand with his left middle finger and smears it over his left eyelid. "...thou corrupt." he then proceeds to dab the blood from his left hand with his right middle finger again and smears a cross on his forehead. "Chaos. I remain, as ever, they faithful, degenerate son." It appears as one side of statue's face is a woman, and the other a man.

CAMILA POV
I zip up the back of Buffy's dress as we stand in front of the mirror. She smiles at her reflection - the dress, a long black wig and finally paired with a set of beautiful earrings.
"Where're you meeting Angel?" Willow asks from the bathroom and i sit down on the edge of Buffy's bed.
"Here. After trick-or-treating. Mum's gonna be out." Buffy replies, slipping the second earring in. I cough under my breathe and Buffy gives me a look. "And Cam will not be here." she smiles at me, emphasising the 'not'.
"Does he know about your costume?" Willow asks and Buffy smiles at her reflection, playing with the frills.
"Nope. Call it a blast from the past. I'll show him i can coif with the best of em." she says in response and i look towards the bathroom door.
"Okay, Willow come out. You can't hide in there all night." i smile, getting up from Buffy's bed.
"O-okay, but, but promise you won't laugh?" she stutters and i smile softly.
"We promise." Buffy says and slowly the bathroom door opens. Willow comes out wearing my black boots, a short, black leather skirt and a burgundy, long-sleeved V-necked, midriff baring top. She looks uncomfortable and quickly steps over to pick up her ghost sheet.
"Wow! You're a dish!" Buffy smiles and i nod in agreement. Willow tries to hide herself with the sheet but i take the sheet from her hands, tossing is across the room.
"I mean, really." i smile and Willow smiles nervously, wrapping her arms around herself.
"But this just isn't me." she replies and i shake my head.
"And that's the point." i smile, walking around her and showing her the mirror. "Look, halloween is the night that not you is you, but not. Y'know?" i smile, looking at her softly smile at her reflection. The doorbell rings making us jump.
"Oh! That's Xander. Are you ready?" Buffy asks and Willow nods nervously.
"Yeah. O-o-okay." she smiles nervously.
"Cool! I can't wait for the boys to go non-verbal when they see you!" i exclaim, grabbing Buffy's hand and rushing downstairs towards the door - excited to show Xander. When i reach the door i open it to see Xander. He enters saluting with his toy rifle.
"Private Harris reporting for..." he announces before looking down at Buffy in her dress "Buffy! Lady of Buffdom, Duchess of Buffonia, i am in awe! I completely renounce spandex!" he exclaims, smiling down at her and she curtsies.
"Thank you, kind sir." she replies and i hear Buffy's bedroom door shit so i tug on his elbow.
"And you are?" he smiles sarcastically.
