Hi I'm back sorry it's been so long since my last update but I've been
swamped with school work any who here's chapter three and the big bad will

slight changes I lied there will be some pretty big ones and some things
will stay the same. Oh yeah one more thing since this will end up a B/X fic
starting from the next chapter you will be able to find this easier by
just selecting the characters as buffy and xander
P.S. Special shout out to my friend Jessica and a plead to please not kill me for not paying you back yet but it's only 2 bucks so chill out about it.
The Son of Blood
Chapter 3
Everyone was gathered around the research table to hear Xander's story.
"Okay it started about three weeks ago after I left the Bronze. I was walking home when I was attacked by eight monsters called Gnolls." Xander started but before he could continue he was interrupted by Buffy.
"Oh my God are you alright? How did you get away?" Buffy asked nervously.
"Well I was just getting to that before I was rudely interrupted." Xander said looking at Buffy.
"Oh sorry please continue." Buffy said slightly embarrassed.
"Alright so these Gnolls attacked me trying to kill me and I probably would have been skewered if Imoen hadn't shown up and saved me." Xander said.
"Ah it was nothing just a few stupid Gnolls nothing a little magic can't take out." Imoen said smiling at him.
"Yeah anyway after she fired the Gnolls we went back to her house and she explained why those things wanted me dead." Xander continued.
"Sorry to interrupt again but why do they want you dead?" Buffy asked.
"To be honest not even I really understand it Imoen why don't you explain that." Xander said turning to his sister.
"Alright please save all questions, commits, and concerns until the end of the explanation." Imoen said earning a small laugh from the people at the table.
"Alright the story is this. The Gnolls don't really want Xander dead there just mercenaries that were hired by a man named Sarevok who wants Xander dead." Imoen said looking over at Xander.
"Well why does he want Xander dead?" Willow asked in a worried tone.
"He wants him dead because Xander is the Chosen One." Imoen said still looking at her brother.
"What do mean the chosen one?" Cordelia asked looking over at her ex boyfriend.
"I mean that Xander is the chosen one of the Bhaal spawn. The one who will destroy all of mankind or protect it from evil." Imoen said looking at the shocked faces around the table.
That's when Xander turned to Buffy. "Please don't try to kill me." Xander said looking at his friend and with that said Willow and Cordelia both fainted.
About twenty minutes later after Willow and Cordy were revived and the news had sunk in Angel spoke.
"So who's Bhaal?" Angel asked looking at Imoen.
"Bhaal was the god of murder in ancient days. He existed about five thousand years ago and when he and the other gods where turned mortal he traveled the earth and impregnated a whole lot of women which then resulted in the birth of many Bhaal spawn, people who had the dark essence of Bhaal inside them. Many of these people lived out there lives completely unaware of the Bhaal essence but others knew of it's existence inside of them selves but were able to control it and others fell victim to the darkness and turned evil. Sarevok is one of them and know is trying to bring Bhaal back to earth and the only person who can stop him is Xander." Imoen said.
"So your saying Xander is the son of a god and is several thousand years old and he is the only one who can stop Bhaal's return." Willow said looking at her best friend.
"Well yeah except Xander isn't thousands of years old he is eighteen." Imoen said.
"But how is that possible if Bhaal existed thousands of years ago and Xander is his son." Buffy asked slightly angry at the fact that one of her best friends kept such a big secret from her.
"After Xander was born a powerful wizard knowing of Xander's destiny put him in a type of time vortex thing here he wouldn't age and he stayed there until a certain time when the Powers That Be made it so that it seemed he was born to a human couple but he was actually just pulled out of the dimension." Imoen explained.
"Oh okay that kinda make sense in way." Willow said.
At this time Jenny spoke up.
"Okay I kinda have a stupid question but where do fit in to all of this Imoen?" Jenny asked turning to the young woman.
"Yeah I was kinda wondering about that you never really explained it you just said you had been looking for me." Xander said turning to his sister.
"Oh right I guess I should explain that." Imoen said slightly embarrassed.
"Yeah that would be nice." Xander said with grin on his face.
"Well when I was a girl my parents who are both Bhaal spawn explained to me the prophecy of the Chosen One and how it was my destiny to stand by him and prepare him for his destiny." Imoen said looking over at Xander.
"Wait a minute so your saying that even if Xander turns evil you'll still help him?" Cordelia asked Imoen.
"Yup that's exactly what I'm saying." Imoen said looking down.
"Well that kinda sucks." Willow said.
"Yeah but that's my destiny no point trying to fight it, now Xander lets get going you need your rest you do start your training in magic tomorrow, I'm gonna make you the best mage that ever walked the earth." Imoen said standing up and heading for the door.
"Alright. See ya guys later." Xander said standing up and following Imoen to the door.
"Xander wait don't you think you should go home and tell your parents and also we have school tomorrow you can't just skip it." Buffy said getting up and looking at her friend.
"Buffy I've skipped school for the past three weeks besides school doesn't really matter to me anymore I got more important things to take care of." Xander said looking at his friend.
"What do you mean school doesn't matter to you anymore, school is important it will decide the rest of your life if you drop out how do you intend to get a good job?" Willow said standing up and walking over to her best friend very angrily.
"Willow I kinda have the fate of mankind to worry about right now so school will have to wait now I gotta get going see ya later." Xander said turning to leave.
"Xander can you at least tell us where your staying so we won't worry." Cordelia said looking over to her ex boyfriend.
"I can't to big a risk Sarevok will find out and try to kill me." Xander said turning to her.
"Xander I don't think your in any danger about that none of us would tell him." Giles said turning to the young boy.
"Giles I'm not saying that you would but Sarevok has ways of extracting information from people so Xander's gotta be on guard now see ya later and it was a pleasure meeting you." Imoen said walking away with Xander right behind.
"See ya guy's and gals." Xander said with a grin
"See ya." Oz called out after the departing Xander.
"See now that wasn't so bad." Imoen said as she and Xander were driving back to the house.
"Yeah but I think there mad at me now." Xander said looking rather glum and staring out the window at the passing scenery.
"Yeah but it could of gone worse." Imoen said with a grin.
"Yeah your right. Hey I gotta question." Xander said turning to Imoen.
"Shoot."
"Well you said tomorrow we were gonna start my training in magic and I thought my Bhaal essence just gave me the knowledge of fighting and weapons."
"Yeah it does."
"So then how am I supposed to learn magic?" Xander asked.
"Well just because your Bhaal essence doesn't give you strong magic powers you still have some it's just a matter of training you to use them." Imoen said.
"Oh ok, so how hard is it learn magic?" Xander asked.
"Well it depends on how well you pay attention and how strong you are, it probably shouldn't take you to long." Imoen responded casually.
With that said Xander turned and looked back out the window.
It wasn't long before Xander noticed a two glowing eye's that seemed to be able to keep up with the fast moving car.
"Hey Imoen I think some things following us." Xander said to his sister.
"What!?" Imoen as urgently.
"Yeah it looks like glowing eyes." Xander said turning to Imoen.
"Xander what color are they?" Imoen asked very worriedly.
"Uh a greenish red." Xander said.
"Ah shit hold on." Imoen said as she slammed her foot down on the accelerator and the car picked up speed.
As the car sped up the creature that had been following them jumped out of the bushes to reveal a large red black wolf like creature with fangs about six inches long and large deadly claws.
"Oh just great a Bronze Dog." Imoen said while pushing the gas down farther and picking up the speed.
"What's a Bronze Dog?" Xander yelled over the roar of the engine.
"It's a type of fire demon very fast, very strong, and can breath fire!" Imoen yelled back making the car go faster but no matter how fast she made the car go the Bronze Dog was still gaining on the car.
It wasn't long until the demon opened it's mouth and blasted out a line of fire at the car.
"OH SHIT!!" Imoen yelled just before the car was engulfed by flames and exploded.
In a dark cavern underground Sarevok was looking into a small glass orb with a smile of satisfaction on his face as he watched the red car carrying the chosen explode in flame then the orb went cleared and Sarevok stood.
"Now no one shall stop the return of the god of blood." Sarevok said as he laughed in his throne over looking a large circle.
In the center of the circle was a large skull surrounded by twelve fire balls.
