A/N: Don't own anything...


He walked down the hall cautiously. He was dressed in a pair of black boots and black pants, a black button up shirt over a white t-shirt with a leather jacket to top it off. It was dead quiet as he neared the door at the end of the hall. Once he reached it he slowly turned the knob and walked out into the cold cemetery. He pulled the collar of his jacket up to shield his face from the harsh winds that were rippling through the grave yard. He could see the air with every breath he took.

He heard whispers coming from farther down. He looked behind him and the door was gone. 'No going back now.' He thought as he followed the voices that were rippling through the air. Tombstone after tombstone he followed the whispers. Then he suddenly stopped once he heard an obnoxious laugh behind him. He turned and saw no one, so he continued towards the hushed voices. There was a clearing not far ahead. In the middle of the clearing he could see the gang, Angel, Faith, and Cordelia included. They were standing in the field waiting for him.

The girls all had on the same strapless, silk, figure fitting dresses and high heels that matched their dress. The guys had the same button up shirts and ties, with black dress pants and dress shoes.

Willow was wearing yellow. Buffy was wearing white. Cordelia was in her natural pink. Faith was wearing black. Oz was wearing a blue shirt with a yellow bow-tie to match Willow. Angel was wearing a grey shirt with a white thin tie to match Buffy. Giles was wearing a green shirt, his tie had white, yellow, and red strips doing diagonally.

He looked down at himself and noticed that his clothes had changed. Gone was the punk look. It was replaced with a red button up shirt, black slacks, and dress shoes. His tie was hanging from his neck undone. He quickly tied it and noticed the color to be black with red stripes. He looked towards the gang and they all smiled at him urging him forwards.

But before he could make it any farther that laugh he heard before returned and he looked behind him. Emilia and Donnie stood behind him with similar clothing to the gang. Emilia was dressed in red, while Donnie had a purple button up with a purple and green poke-a-dotted bow-tie. They smiled at him, but didn't pull him towards them like the other had did. He was confused at this but moved towards the gang.

Once he reached his friends they all embraced him and patted his shoulder. With a smile he looked back towards Emilia and her brother, but what he seen erased the smile from his face. The siblings were watching the friends mingle as black smoke crept behind them. Then the smoke turned into a human figure and laid one of its smoky hands on Donnie's shoulder. The young boy jerk backwards as a wolf jumped out from his body. The wolf then attacked Emilia and he watched in horror as his mentor and friend was eaten.

None of his friends seemed to notice the violence on the outer side of the field. The smoky figure then fixed it's gaze on an oblivious Oz. Xander watched as the figure crept closer towards his were friend. Donnie's wolf sat in the grass just staring at the small group with bored eyes. Xander tried to push Oz out of the way but Donnie's wolf intervened and tackled him to the ground before he got to the werewolf. The black figure was now laying his hand on Oz's shoulder. He watched as his friend turned into a wolf and attacked the closes person, Willow. Xander kicked and screamed, but The Wolf wouldn't get off of him.

But then Willow was saved by Angel, who snapped Oz's neck. Xander was conflicted, should he be happy that Willow was alive, sad that Oz was dead, or angry that Angel killed the were wolf. All he did was scream. He was finally able to push the Wolf off of him and he stood up. As he did ne noticed that the scene once again changed. Not only was Emilia, Donnie, and Oz dead, but so was everyone else. Giles, Willow, Buffy, Cordelia, and Faith. Angel stood off to the side holding Buffy's body in his arms as he cried over the loss of her. The black figure was drinking the blood of the now dead wolf that held him down only seconds before.

His eyes turned yellow as he let the rage in him take over. His nails grew a bit as he gave into the Hyena. His canines grew sharper as he stepped closer to the black figure that had no doubt killed everyone he cared for. He ran and tackled the figure and they wrestled for a few moments till Xander gripped it's throat and slowly began squeezing the life out of it. With each second that past the figure began once again taking human form. "Who are you!? Why did you do this?" He asked it as it's face was taking shape.

"I am what you are to become. I did not do this. You did." It's voice was husky and confident.

Xander watched as the once black smoke took shape and he shuddered at what it had turned into. Him. He let go of the monster that had murdered his family and moved away from it. It… He… walked towards a weeping Angel and plunged a stake through his heart and Xander watched the last of his friends turn to dust. The other him walked up to him with a smirk and as it disappeared he grabbed Xander's chest. "Time to let the beast out." Xander screamed as the Hyena took over completely and jumped out of his body and into the field. The Hyena then turned and attacked him…..

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Xander woke up screaming.

"Calm down! You were having a nightmare." Came a voice next to him. Then he felt a cold towel on his head. When he finally cleared his eyes he took in his surroundings. Willow seating at the edge of the couch with Oz standing next to her. Buffy was seating in front of him with a damp towel in her hand. Giles was standing at the head of the couch with a book in his hands. Angel stood leaning against the door jam with a concerned look on his face that was being projected from everyone in the room. "Are you ok?"

Xander stared at Buffy for a second before taking a deep breath realizing that it was just a bad dream…An extremely bad dream. "I-I'm f-fine. What happened?"

"We were all sitting around the table when you started screaming." Willow said still with a worried look.

"Yeah, man. We all burst in here with weapons." Oz added.

"We tried to wake you up when we realized you were sleeping." Angel also added in his impute.

"Hold on, when did you get here? I thought you weren't going to show up till school was over?" Xander asked, a bit confused as to why the vampire was there.

"Xander, school has been over for an hour. You've slept through the last few hours of it." Giles answered as he reached toward his desk and offered Xander a sandwich.

He grabbed it and looked around with a disbelieving look. "Why didn't any of you wake me up?"

"Well, you looked so peaceful that we didn't really have the heart to wake you. So we left you sleeping." Willow answered with a guilty look. "Actually, when we did try to wake you up you wouldn't wake. So we left you."

Xander chuckled a bit as he took a bit of the offered food. "Why is everyone here again?" He asked, his still disoriented mind hadn't caught up with everything yet.

"You screamed, like you were getting axed." Oz offered.

"Giles had to perform a spell to wake you up. That must have been some nightmare you were having." Buffy said as she gave him the towel to clean his face as he finished off the sandwich.

"I was that out of it?" He asked. When they all nodded he quickly replayed the dream in his head and then tried to put it out of his mind. "Ok… I'm hungry."

"Xander we should try and figure out what's wrong with you, not act like this didn't happen." Giles said as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

"I'm not acting like it didn't happen. I was having a horrible dream that my brain didn't want me to wake up from. Simple psychology. Nothing more. Now can I please get some food?" Xander stood and stumbled a little. His leg was asleep. "Damn it!" He hissed as he rubbed his leg till he felt the pins and needles effect.

The others just looked at him and filed out of the office. If he wasn't going to address the problem, they were not going to force him to. It took another full minute till he walked into the main room and he was heading for the door when it opened to reveal Emilia and Donnie. "Where's the fire, Darling?" Emilia asked with a smile.

"I'm hungry." Xander said as he walked past her and the younger werewolf. "I'll be back in a few minutes."

Everyone watched as he stormed off. "He was kinda bitchy wasn't he?" Donnie asked as he ignored the conflicted young man that had left.


Xander had made it to the Expresso Pump before he finally stopped moving and took a seat at one of the tables. Images of his friend's lifeless eyes looking up at him kept appearing in his mind's eye and he couldn't shake it. He suddenly started laughing and everyone around him gave him odd looks as he held his stomach because he was laughing so hard.

"Care to let me in on the joke?" A familiar voice spoke in front of him and when he opened his eyes he noticed that Faith had a smirk on her face. "You ok X?"

"I'm fine. Not that you care." He could smell the faint scent of sex on her and gave her a wolfish smile. "Although if you want, you can care about me in other ways." He then winked at her.

Faith was a little confused at first because Xander had never been that up front about anything. "Hate to burst your bubble, but just 'cause we slept together once, doesn't make us an item."

"Who said I wanted us to be an item?" He smiled again showing off his teeth. "A little roll in the sack every now and then doesn't seem like a big deal."

"What would your precious Scooby Gang think?" She asked with a smile of her own.

"Who cares what they think. Nobody tells me what…or who to do." As soon as the words left his mouth Faith latched on to his lips and kissed him long and hard. "Is that a yes?"

"I got some things to take care of. Come by my place later tonight. I'll show you a good time." With that Faith turned and walked away missing as Xander's eyes flashed yellow.

Xander watched her walk away and ordered two boxes of doughnuts as he flirted with the blonde girl at the counter. Once he had the boxes and the girl's number he walked back to Sunnydale High. On his way to the door leading to the back of the library he noticed a man sitting on a bench reading a book and he smiled as he made a detour and took a seat next to him. The man looked to be in his mid-20 and Xander licked his lips as he took in the scent of the fresh faced man.

"Are you waiting for the bus too?" Asked the man as he placed his book on his lap and rubbed his eyes.

"No. I'm just hungry."

"Must be why you have the doughnuts, huh?" The man laughed at his own joke and waited for Xander to respond.

He smiled at him, and his eyes flashed yellow again. "Something like that." He then pounced on the man and tore at his neck. He bite into the young man's throat as he screamed for help that wasn't coming. Within moments he had moved the body into the bushes and began nipping at the human flesh.
