Chapter 11:

Xander stood in front of his old school, waiting to face his old friends, in their old meeting place from his old life. Once he killed them he would truly have killed his old life and then he could go to his new partner, Angelus, and new girlfriend, Drusilla, and officially start his new "life". He couldn't wait.

Apparently, neither could Willow. "Ready?"

"Oh yeah."

Show, deliberate steps. Power eased off him and he knew it. Any and all who couldn't take a look at him and realize the danger was making a lethal mistake.

Xander could hear Angelus' and Dru's steps behind him. Knowing human ears couldn't detect the sound, he didn't worry about them being noticed before they wanted to be. They were well hidden in the shadows.

Pushing the double doors open with deadly grace he never before possessed, Xander felt his adrenalin build up. Seeing Buffy, Oz, and Giles at the table looking so innocently clueless didn't help.

"You showed - ten minutes late. We were worried. What was the hold up?" Buffy voice sounded clipped and a little uneasy.

'But she didn't know. Couldn't know. No, it's something else. Not us, something else has her worried. Something else that she'd complain to us about if we don't cut out her tongue or slit her throat first.' Xander thought.

Still unable to stop the feeling of precaution, Xander felt his guard go up.

"Sorry about the delay. Our meal took longer than expected."

Buffy nodded sadly.

Next to Xander, Willow hissed in pain. Spinning around quickly, Xander found Giles holding a large cross to Willow's sizzling skin. With a sudden lunge, the cross was placed on Xander's skin.

'Or maybe they do know,' Xander thought as he backed away from the cross, eyes alternating between it and Buffy.

"What do you want?" Buffy pained voice would have broken his human counter point's heart.

Willow giggled. "What do you think? To taste the slayers blood."

Drusilla stepped out from her hiding spot followed by Angelus. The games were over, time for the big times.

Giles kept his cross high and stead while waving it in front of them.

"Do you really think that can stop us? It is four vampires against one slayer and two humans."

"One human, one werewolf," Oz corrected Angelus.

"Whatever. One cross won't stop us."

"Then I will."

This would be easier than even Xander expected. He knew about Buffy's mannerisms because of how close they were as humans. He knew by the quiver in her voice and the way her eyes didn't rest on one of them, but kept moving around, that she didn't believe herself. It just didn't get much easier than this folks.

Xander met Angelus' eyes. He knew the same truth. One message was clearly reflected back at Xander. Let's strike now.

Xander couldn't help smiling.

Three.

Two.

One.

Angelus pulled his arm down into his sleeve and used it to grab Giles' cross. Xander sped past the two and snatch up Oz. The boy barely wiggled as he was placed in the holding cell.

Angelus dragged an unconscious Giles next to Oz before snapping the lock.

Xander turned and saw Willow and Dru locking all exits. Buffy was still in the same spot with a look as if she was about to cry.

"Poor slayer," he teased, slowly walking towards her. "Poor little slayer."

The four of them were now circling around her. Buffy's eyes spun hopelessly from one cold face to another.

Oz's cries for Buffy dimmed into the background as Xander focused on his prey. The prey began to cry.

"Isn't that just precious?" Willow crooned.

Xander and Willow stimintunoiusally grabbed for opposite sides of Buffy's neck as Dru and Angelus stepped back.

After guzzling some of the slayers blood and hearing most of her cries die down, Willow lifted her head towards Angelus. "Don't you want?"

"No. This is more important for you. Enjoy it while it lasts."

Willow smiled a blood stained smile before sinking her teeth back into Buffy's flesh.

When Buffy was drained dry, Xander and Willow let go of her dead body and allowed it to plop to the floor.

Oz was crying. Xander had never seen the boy emit so much emotion at one time.

Willow stalked over to Angelus. He reached down and grabbed her chin so that their lips roughly roomed over each other. When Angelus pulled away he ran his tongue over his lips.

"Mmmmmmmmm, Slayer. There really is nothing better tasting out there."

Xander allowed Dru's tongue to wonder around his mouth until she was done.

"What do we do with them?" Xander asked, pointing to the cage when Dru was finished.

"Have you ever tortured a werewolf?" Angelus asked.

"Not yet," Willow replied facing the cage.

"What about the watcher?" Xander asked.

"Too old for much fun," Dru pouted while she talked. Suddenly she brightened, "But he can suffer. Alive while the greedy little leeches stole everyone else away to Grandmother's grave."

Angelus unlocked the cage and pulled Oz out. He struggled a little before Angelus bashed his head onto the side of the cage. Then he closed the cage back up with unconscious Giles still inside.

Drusilla jumped up and down and clapped. "Oh what fun we'll have!"

"And if we ever get bored, there's still always Spike to find," Xander reminded them.

As the four of them walked out dragging Oz behind them, Xander felt it. The transition of the end of his old life and the beginning of his new.

His new life with Dru, Angelus, and Willow had finally begun. He was ready.

THE END
