Faith's hand was locked around Xander´s waist. She was fast asleep. Xander lay awake, feeling guilty. Every time he closed his eyes he dreamt this horrible nightmare. Well it wasn't exactly a nightmare it was more of a flashback. The night at the motel room where he almost lost his life.

Last time he and Faith had slept together, he thought he could trust her. He thought she could trust him but that ended badly. He was still having a difficult time with hanging around her. He wanted to believe she had changed but somewhere deep inside he couldn't. All the anger of the past was so hard to carry.

He felt so guilty against Buffy and Willow. He had betrayed them by seeking comfort in Faith's arms. But after his talk with Faith, the glue that held him together had failed and he had scattered into millions of pieces.

He wanted to tell Faith that it was just a mistake, an impulse. But he didn't want her to get hurt.

He carefully shifted from Faith's grip. Making sure she wouldn't wake up. He needed to take a walk, clear his mind.

She mumbled something in her sleep that was hard to identify. But she seemed happy.

Xander got dressed as he shot a one last look at the brunette then he walked out, making sure Wesley wasn't around then he hurried to the door and ran.

"Stay away" Willow said softly

Dawn and Cordelia nodded as they backed few steps. Staring at the nervous witch. Willow sat down on the floor. A lot of candles had been lit and there was no way of sunshine to enter the room.

"The spirit of Karevil, I beg thee to guide me the right way. Protect us from all evil. Protect us from all bale"

The flame of the candles wavered as a white fog circled around the witch as she bit her lip nervously, afraid to continue. Afraid she might do something wrong. Her eyes locked on a picture of Buffy as she started the second version

"Skin to skin. Blood to blood" Willow squinted her eyes "Bring her to the living. Powers of be I beg thee. Grant my wish. Actualise this.

The white fog fainted slowly and then suddenly a huge wave of earthquake started and the three girls were thrown back. Small objects fell out of shelves while Dawn and Cordelia looked for shelter.

In a minute the quake was over and the shocked girls got time to look around instead of finding a shelter

"You think it worked" Dawn asked hopeful

Xander was still running. It was raining. A typical Californian rain hit him as he kept running. He felt so guilty so mad. He wanted so badly to go back in time and change his life.

The boy was sobbing now. Feeling so ashamed for his actions. He stopped at the only beach in Sunnydale. Letting his knees hit the sand. His eyes stared at the moon in couple of hours the sun would be rising. Would that be any comfort?

He rested his head on the sand, falling asleep. Trying to forget who he was and where he was

// "It looks like it´s about to rain" Her soft voice notified

"What about it? A little water won´t stop us. In fact were surrounded by it" Xander said as he stared out to the ocean

Buffy smiled as she leaned back, Xander lay down with his elbow on the ground, studying his friend

"It´s a long time since we talked, don´t you think?" Buffy asked as she stared back into Xander´s eyes

Xander nodded. They had been so busy lately. Buffy and Riley. Willow with Tara and he and Anya. It looked like the original members of the Scooby gang were drifting away in separated ways

"Do you have anything on your mind?" Buffy´s eyes searched his. Xander stared back frightened

It started to rain and they were no longer on the sunny beach. They were in the cemetery. Buffy was fighting as hard as she could and it looked like she was losing. Every time Xander tried to get near her he received a little violence himself. He landed at the ground. Groaning, begging for the strength to get back up and help his friend out

"Xander!" She screamed out

Xander rolled over, forcing himself back upon his feet. It was when he saw it. The vampire was feeding on her. Tears ran down her cheeks as she tried to reach for Xander´s hand, whispering his name over and over again.

Xander grabbed a stake that was lying on the ground as he rushed over to Buffy, the vampire didn´t notice and in seconds the dust was covering both the boy and the slayer. Buffy forced a weak smile.

"Wow, that was close" Buffy said

Xander couldn´t force himself to smile. He was more near to cry than ever to smile. Buffy was right, it had been close.

He grabbed her hand and helped her up. She was swaying a bit. But she was the slayer she would heal. Somehow he convinced himself of it.

Suddenly her eyes jerked open, before Xander could turn around she grabbed the stake out of his hand and pushed him away. Xander was thrown to the ground, he watched as the slayer plunged into the vampire's chest his stake but received a knife into the chest. Buffy gasped for air as she stumbled back and finally falling

"Buffy" Xander cried as he crawled over to her

"Xander" She cried, shivering because of pain//

Xander´s eyes jerked open and he found himself on the beach. The sun was rising. He had been crying in his sleep and he felt how the sunrays were trying to wipe them.

: : :

Buffy´s eyes fluttered open and she found herself in a total darkness and no air. Struggling for air she broke out and onto the surface. Making the sun blind her temperately
