Eric Draven was stunned. He had just heard Xander's story and he couldn't
believe it. Finally he just nodded.
Eric: Thats some story.
Xander shrugged.
Xander: Tis my life. What about you?
Draven took a drink of his beer and sat back in the booth.
Eric: It all started when my fiance Shelly and I were murdered. Neither of our souls could rest until justice was done. The crow brought me back.
Xander nodded. He noticed the sad expression on Eric Dravens' face. He also noticed how the man tried to hide his pain.
Xander: I thought that was just a legend.
Eric shook his head. Then sighed heavily.
Eric: No its all true. Now I'm stuck here. I can't get back to Shelly. I just get by.
Xander shook his head. He didn't know what to say to Draven. He knew 'Everything will work out' just wasn't going to cut it.
Xander: But I thought the crow took you back after you finished your business?
Eric only shrugged. His sad expression seemed to morph into his normal visage.
Eric: I guess I haven't finished it yet.
Xander nodded.
Xander: Seems like were both stuck.
Eric nods.
Eric: Story of my life. Or whatever this is.
Xander chuckles while nodding.
Xander: My grandmother used to say everything happens for a reason.
Eric chuckles.
Eric: Yeah they better have some damn good reasons.
Xander nodded his head in agreement. He looked toward the stage as Oz's band stopped playing. He watched as the record exec. walked toward the stage.
Xander: You think they'll get the deal?
Eric nodded his head.
Eric: Yeah. There pretty good.
Xander nodded at the smile on Oz's face as the band stated to celebrate.
Xander: They got it.
Oz waved Xander and Eric over and the two walked over to the group.
Oz: I think we got the deal.
Xander almost laughed at the look of well no emotion on Oz's face.
Xander: I can tell by the look of happiness on your face dogboy.
Oz smiled for the second time that night. A record.
Oz: I wish Willow could be here.
Xander nodded.
Xander: Where is she anyway? Its not like her to miss one of your 'GIGS'.
Oz nodded his head missing or just ignoring the imphasis on gigs.
Oz: She and Buffy are looking for Faith. They can't get it out of there heads your in danger.
Xander chuckled.
Xander: As long as Faith gets some time she'll be fine. She slept at my place two nights in a row. I'm still alive.
Eric shook his head.
Eric: You know some dangerous women.
Xander nodded.
Xander: Yeah. And I seem to piss them off alot.
Eric chuckled.
Eric: You just don't learn.
Xander shrugged.
Xander: I hate learning. Takes all the fun out of life. Or whatever this is.
Eric chuckled.
Oz: I have to go with the band. Seya in Sunnydale Xander.
Xander noddded and turned walking away with Draven beside him. The two talking like old friends.
Okay people thats 11. And it SUCKED. I've got major writers block but I think I can work through it. Maybe finish 'The Protector' before I start writing on Daywalker again. Sorry. Thanks for reading don't forget to review.
