A/N: I've tired fan fiction before but it never goes well lol. So I would really like you to read and review so I can approve my writing and maybe actually keep this story going.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Xander stood there in shock not sure whether to protect Anya and Willow or hide with them. But hey he was the man of the house a very scared man but it was his duty to protect the woman so he launched a fist at Halfreck, but all she did was block him.

Halfreck just stood there laughing " silly silly mortal boy. I wish not to seek vengeance on you but Anyanka, please get out of my way".

Xander stood there in disbelief. "Wow demons are dumb like I'm going to leave Anya here with you I don't think so. If you want to fight someone then fight me" he took a huge gulp that everyone could here and took a step back.

Hallie shrugged" Fine with me." And she put on her game face and threw him across the room. Yawns " that was easy next?"

Willow stood up room her seated position beside Anya and walked up to her bravely " Me!...Hurpta" and she went flying across the room and into the wall.

Anya went running to Xander " Xander! Please...please wake up I'm so sorry" she broke down crying.

Willow ran over to Anya put Halfreck caught her and flung her the opposite direction.

Halfreck walked up to Anya standing her up " we meet again my dear friend".

" Please don't do this Hallie you'll regret it" Anya pleaded with her.

" Me? regret?" Laughs slightly " I don't think so this is my vengeance for you killing me and I like I'm doing a damn good job at it so far. Don't you think?".

" Well actually I would have gone with a more subtle approach and less damage to the apartment so the slayer couldn't follow your tracks, but I'll cut you a brake this time." Anya said with an a-matter-of-fact tone.

Halfreck shook her head in confusion " Ok first off I'm about to kill you and your criticizing me?!? You really need to get out more this isn't how it works dreary I kill you and you keep your mouth shut!" And with that she hit her.

Anya looked up and her nose was bleeding " No that's not how it works. Friends forgive friends."

" Oh come on Anyanka since when do you believe that bull crap" Halfreck said putting her hands on her hips.

" Since I became human and it's Anya not Anyanka" and she punched her in the face.

Halfreck wasn't affected at all by the punch and swings at Anya flying her across the room.

Anya slowly got back to her feet " I forgive you...now please calm down".

" No! You killed me! And I seek revenge." She walks up to Anya kicking her back on the floor.

Crying now Anya gets back up " Please! Forgive me! It didn't mean to happen like that! He was supposed to kill me!"

" Ha! You knew he wasn't going to kill you...because you're his favorite. So don't give me that crap.now get up!" Halfreck screamed at her.

Anya just looked at her " I'm so sorry Hallie." She whispered but did not even attempt to lift herself up.

" Oh your going to be sorry" she lifted Anya up by her arm breaking it.

Anya screamed in agony as she felt the bones break " please! Stop it!."

Halfreck ignored her plea " you want to die how you wanted well you got your chance" and her hand went for her throat and she hoisted Anya in the air.

Anya gasped for hair and tried so hard to get her hands off her neck but she couldn't and she gave up and waited to die.

Halfreck smiled in victory, but that didn't last long as Xander put a sword in her chest.

Anya dropped to the floor in heap not moving and he ran to her aid.

Halfreck started to get up when Willow came over and picked up the sword" I don't think so bitch." And she swung it at her head and the remains of Halfreck disappeared.

" Come on Anya get up!" Xander repeated as he did CPR to her over and over again.

Willow ran over to him " Xander..." and she shook her head.

" No!" He yelled it over and over again while he cried in Willow's arms.

Anya started coughing" Geez.you give up on me that easy... we haven't gotten married nor have little blue and pink children yet!" She whispered.

" Anya!" Xander cried for joy as he embraced her in a long kiss and huge.

" Any room for me in there?" Willow said in a baby voice.

" Of course Wills there's always room for you." Xander said as he held out one of arms inviting her in.

Willow dove in and wrapped her arms around her two friends enjoying the silence.

" Just not in the lespeain way" Anya added in.

All three of them started laughing until the phone rang.
