Chapter 1: Taken as Leverage

Xander's Pov

"Hurry up Xander!" I heard Buffy yell ahead of me as we ran. Buffy,Giles,Willow,Anya,Tara and I were patrolling in the graveyard when we ran into this creepy as hell demon thing. Now we are running for our lives, jumping over head stones. And of course I was at the back of the pack with the demon at my heels. I pushed myself as hard as I could but that thing still wouldn't fall behind and before I knew it was running right next to me.

"Xander!"

I heard the scream but I couldn't identify who it was from because before I knew it I was flying through the air and then crashing into a tomb stone. My vision was fading fast and I could feel blood soaking through my shirt from where the monster had hit me. In the distance I heard screams and growls as they fought off the demon but as the sound started to lessen I knew that they were losing. 'I hope they are okay' were my last thoughts before I felt the demon grab my legs and drag me away as the darkness took me.

Angelus's Pov

I heard the sounds of a door opening and slamming shut coupled with the occasional growl and I knew that my pet had returned from his mission. He stalked into the room and dropped his catch on the floor. I looked down to see that it was Buffy's little human pet Alexander. He was out cold with a long gash on him shoulder.

I leaned over and ripped his shirt off so I could get to the beautiful blood flowing out of him. I took a long lick and soon I was seeing red. His blood was the sweetest and richest I've had, so pure and innocent.

"He's a virgin. I've never had one virgin before" I smirked evily to myself and added more to my plan but that could wait. Time to move forward and focus on that later. I picked him up and placed him on the bed in the middle of the room and then went to the other side and began to write my message to the Slayer.

Dear Slayer,

As you already know I have your precious human friend. And I know that you already know exactly who I am so I will cut straight to the point: Either you back off of me or he dies. He will be returned once I know that you will stay away even after I give him back to you. If you try to save him he dies. No other choices will be given and no other deals will be made.

Enjoy the rest of your evening Slayer

With love,

Angelus

"Demon!" I screamed. He came crawling to me from his corner. "Deliver this to the Slayers home and then you are free to go until I require your services again" he took the letter and spoke in a pattern of grunts and growls for I had cut out his tongue and silenced him.

Once he left I walked over and sat on the bed where my newest little toy layed.

"I have much planned for you Alexander"
