Thanks for the reviews everyone. Here's more as promised. I probably won't be able to post any more after Thursday because of Christmas break. So please be patient with me! Anyway...here's more!
Disclaimer: I don't own Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I would really love to though. (Who wouldn't?)
Chapter 1: Seventeen years later
Alexander Harris woke to see sunshine pouring through the window. He looked around seeing that everything was exactly the way he had left it last night. Clean.
"Another bright and sunny day." He muttered. "Which means that something is most likely going to happen…besides the weird dream that I had last night." He closed his mouth as he realized what he just said. The dream…about a women telling him that he would soon know who he was.
"Oh well." He said. He got out of bed, grabbed his jacket, threw on a pair of dark black jeans, and went out the door. He headed downstairs, and saw that his parents were sleeping in the chairs that were facing the television set. He scowled at them, then headed out the door intending to get to the library. Giles had told him that they were going to do some research today.
As he walked along towards the library at the high school, he realized that something was wrong. He turned, thinking that someone was following him, but there was no one behind him. He turned back around and bumped into a teenager girl, who fell to the ground.
"Sorry." Xander gasped. He helped her up. She brushed herself off, and Xander found that she was pretty. She wore a black skirt and shirt, and she was picking up a book that she dropped.
"It's okay." She assured him. She studied him, then said, "Thanks for helping me up. I have to go now. What's your name?"
"Xander." He answered. "What's yours?"
"Jade." (Jade is going to be in another buffy story. I introduced her now, so that you'll see part of her for next time. Jade's story is going to be posted after this one is finished.) "Well, I hate to say it, but I've got to go." She waved as she walked off, and Xander mumbled,
"See you." He hurried the last block to the library, where everyone else was already waiting for him.
"Hey Xander." Willow said cheerfully.
"Hey. Where is everyone?" He asked, puzzled. Willow looked towards the round table in the middle, that was cluttered with books. There was also a faintly visible Buffy, and Giles, who were both sleeping on the table.
"I was about to go and get some breakfast." Willow explained. "We've been working on why the demons had stopped attacking people. We figured that we might find something about it, but there hasn't been any luck."
"The demons have what?" Xander asked, surprised.
"I know. It's wierd. Buffy went on patrol last week, and she encounted...nothing! Except for a swing." Willow added the last part thoughtfully. Xander frowned, and headed over to Buffy and Giles.
"Buffy...Giles...wake up." Xander said. Buffy yawneed, and Giles muttered,
"Xander, how many times have I told you not to come into my room?" Xander glared at him.
"This isn't your room Giles, it's the library. Wake up!" He said, annoyed. Giles and Buffy both awoke almost at once.
"Xander!" Buffy said. "There was no need to shout." She complained. Xander looked confused.
"I didn't shout." He said. Buffy frowned.
"Well, of course you did-" Buffy muttered, confused. She wiped the sleep from her eyes. "What's going on?"
"That's what I wanted to ask you." Xander said, feeling out of place. He took of his brown leather jacket and set it on the chair, then sat down on the chair. "What's going on?" He picked up a book unknowingly, and started flipping through the pages, as though interested in it.
"Well...we were going to inform you, but Buffy thought it would be a good idea-what's that?" Giles asked, taking the book from Xander as he came to a stop from flipping pages. Xander looked at the page in surprise.
"I don't know." He said.
"A Fairy. A creature that it powerful enough to ward off demons, and/or attrack them so that she may find her child that she had given birth to, or so that she may have a child." He pushed his glasses further up. Xander was frowning slightly at the book. "A Fairy is usually a queen when she gives birth to her child-which is almost always a son. The son (or daughter) gets the powers of it's mother, when he or she becomes of age." Giles looked over at Buffy. "This could be why the demons are all gone."
"Xander, are you okay?" Buffy asked. Xander was still scowling at the book.
"Fine." He said. He looked at Giles.
"So what are we going to do about the fairy? Is the child going to be a problem, or what?" He asked, interested. Giles frowned at the book.
"I'm not sure. I've never encountered a fairy before, and I don't know if anyone else has either." He spoke in a mild tone, but Xander saw the worry in the old man's eyes.
"I'm back!" Willow said, from the doorway. She carried a tray full on food, and drinks. "And I brought breakfast."
"Oh, yum." Xander said, heading to the food. He picked up a turkey and cheese sandwhich. "Thanks, Wills."
"No problem." She said. Buffy and Giles also got some food.
"Now what?" Buffy said, frusterated. "I can't go on any other patrols until I know that the fairy thing is done having a kid or whatever, and that the demons are back."
"Why don't you three take a break?" Giles said, unexpectedly. "When something comes up, I'll call and tell you." Buffy looked surprised.
"Are you sure, Giles?" She asked, pleased.
"Postitive." He said.
"Thanks!" Buffy said, and she and Willow started talking about what they would do for the day. Xander sat there, listening to them. Whereever they go, I'll go. He thought. He finsihed the sandwhich, and then the three of them headed out of the library and into the familar town of Sunnydale.
That was the second chapter. It was to give you a clue about Xanders dream and heritage. I hope it wasn't to confusing! Sorry it took so long to post. I had Christmas break and couldn't get back onto the computer until today. I'll try and update more often.
Thanks for reading!
