Note: Okay, because of all the complaints, I changed this chapter and the one after. Made Xander a bit more defiant. But I don't agree that he is braver than Buffy. I think their brave in their own way. So this is for all the Xander fans and I hope you take the time to read it.
PS: THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS, KEEP THEM COMING. AS YOU CAN SEE, I TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDERATION AND ANYTHING WILL HELP.

Willow put the solution into a small bottle and turned off the Brunson burner. Giles nodded with a determined look on his face. Oz stood in the corner of the library, collecting weapons that he thought they'd need. Now all they had to do was kill the demon.
"You know what?" Willow said just figuring out something.
"Hmm?" Giles asked now drowned in his own thought.
"I just figured why the demon didn't touch me." Willow sighed. Giles rose an eyebrow. "I had just finished with a chemistry experiment. That demon doesn't like sulfur."
Giles smiled a bit. "And sulfur is in that potion. It neutralizes him."
"So we could just pour it on him and we wont be sent to hell." Willow grinned.
"Yes... Yes..." Giles snapped his fingers. "Willow, put a bag of sulfur in with the weapons."
Willow nodded proudly heading back to the Chem Lab.

Blood flowed down her back. She was battered and bruised. Every few minutes she'd be snapped out of this dimension and would be attacked by a horde of vampires. A couple of times they'd kill her. It was always a painful death. Each time it shook her so bad she could barely remember that giving up would condemn her to Hell for an eternity. That was definitely not she wanted after risking her life to save others. That couldn't be her reward.
She glanced over at Xander, who lay limply in his chains, his eyes glazed with fear and terror. But he had a small grin on his face, as if trusting that she had a plan.
He looked over with almost a half crazed smile. With a voice just over a mumble, he said, "Gunna take a lot more to take us down."
She agreed, yet had no real plan. Not yet at least. But she was glad Xander had faith that they would get out. She trusted that instinct, she just hoped it wasn't too late.
Again she snapped back to standing at a all too familiar cemetery. Vampires came from every direction. She flew onto her back and couldn't get up. Three vampires held her down while another male started licking her neck.
"Mmm. Slayers blood." it laughed.
It brought it's fangs up and down her neck. When it pulled back, the vampire changed. It was Angel. He had his vamp face on, but it was him.
"My love." He grinned.
"Angel..." Buffy cried.
Then he leaned towards her and bit her neck. The other vampires joined in the feeding from her wrists and legs. The pain enveloped her...
* * * * *
Angel flew to the ground and grunted when his head hit a grave head stone. The demon growled at him. Giles and Willow said he was now neutered and couldn't send anyone else to hell... Which was a good thing.
Giles was the last to hit the ground with a yelp. He still held the sword in his hands. This demon was pissed and wasn't about to run now. He wanted all four of them dead. So far, Angel hadn't noticed any weak spots. It didn't look good.
Buffy looked at him with those sad eyes. "Strong is fighting! It's hard, and it's painful, and it's every day. It's what we have to do. And we can do it together.
* * * * *
Xander whimpered softely, the pain was almost too much to bare. Almost. "That all ya got?" he spat. The coppery taste of blood formed in his mouth and he spit it out.
He looked over at Buffy who stared vacantly into the Hell fires. There was a pool of blood collecting by her feet. The lashes on her back weren't closing up or healing. They just stayed painfully open. Every once in awhile another crack sounded, getting lost in the sounds of hopeless cries of terror.
But he knew one thing, he'd fight it with every ounce of his being. The last thing he wanted was to be stuck in Hell for eternity and he was pretty sure Buffy agreed with him on that one.
"Do you give up? Or would you like more?" it asked with a pleased smile.
He saw the Slayer come out of whatever mind tricks he played and lifted her head up to smile. It was a smile that came whenever she got really pissed. A smile that Xander took comfort in, because it meant she had a plan. Either that, or she had gone crazy. He hoped door number one.
"You kidding?" Xander huffed in defiance. "Seen much harsher torture then you."
Buffy looked at him and nodded in agreement. Then she looked at the devil, her face showed no fear as she began saying, "I am Buffy Anne Summers the Vampire Slayer. "I defy you and all that lives beneath. You can not touch me. You are below my league."
The defiant words came from one of Giles's old books. Xander remembered hearing the librarian say it while they were catured by the Wild Hunt. It hadn't turned out all that good, in fact it almost got them killed.
He watched as anger grew inside the beast. It roared in anger. Suddenly, the Slayer caught on fire.

Joyce put her head in her hands and cried. Both were dead. They died within seconds of each other. How could this happen? Her daughter was suppose to be strong. She never got sick. Never.
The nurse pulled the sheet over the two heads and let Joyce have time alone with her daughter. Cordiela hung over Xander, sobbing and cursing.
(2:15 am, October 2nd, 1998, Buffy Anne Summers
and Alexander LaVelle Harris die of unknown causes.)
Oz ducked the creatures punch and then did his best to kick it in the leg. The demon, not fazed, reached to grab Oz and tear his head off. He liked his head, especially when it had a body under it. He wanted to keep it that way. Ducking, he took a swing with the machete that Giles had lent him. It just bounced off the demon's slimy skin.
The demon growled in annoyance and back handed Oz in the face. He felt his check give as he flew twenty feet away. This demon seemed invincible. Angel even seemed puzzled at what to do. Buffy and Xander needed them to kill the demon, that was going to be one hard task. But he figured after all the times Buffy had saved them all, she deserved their help... even if it was going to get them killed.
