-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wait a minute! I didn't try to bite her? Why wouldn't I try to bite her? Did I try to bite the others? I had to know. "Did I try to bite anyone else?"
She nodded, "You tried to bite Anya and were about to take a bite out of Dawn and Willow. But, you didn't try to bite me. You had me pinned and your mouth open, but you didn't bite me."
I showed a confused look, "Weird."
A nod was made, "Weird is the word that would best describe it. Anyway, don't werewolves maul their victims? Not just bite them."
I nodded, "That's what I thought too."
"Maybe Willow found something that could explain that."
With a shrug, she said, "Maybe."
With that said, we finished our lunch and headed out of the restaurant.
I turned to Buffy and said, "Let's go see if Willow found anything."
"Good idea."
Together, we made our way back to the Magic Box knowing full well that Dawn and Willow would be there. I just hoped that they found something that would help my cause.
Time seemed too past rather quickly for the both us. As we walked, the two of us talked about a lot of stuff. Nothing really important, but we just talked about anything that needed to be said. Basically, we were talking like the friends we used to be, the friends that were really close.
Shortly, we arrived to the store and could see the broken window, "Did I do that?"
Buffy nodded, "Yeah you did. You jumped through and attacked Anya. I came in shortly after. That's when you pinned me."
My eyes widened, "I actually pinned you? Wow. I guess being a werewolf makes you stronger."
She agreed, "Makes sense. You were pretty strong when you tore Herbit's cage apart while you had that hyena thing going on. I guess it being any member of the dog family would make you stronger."
This shocked me. She actually remembered the way I acted as the hyena? Of course she would. That's also when I attempted to rape her. Back then she wore those slutty clothes. My god she was hot back then. What am I saying? She's still hot.
Why am I thinking about this? Am I still in love with her? After all these years? But, I love Anya. I know I do. I've moved on since high school. But that kiss? Buffy and I kissed and it was incredible. Does she like me also?
I don't know. No sense on trying to focus on that now. What I want to know is one of two things. One, why didn't I try to bite Buffy and two, why does Anya hate werewolves.
One thing for sure, the Anya thing would have to wait. I looked at Buffy and said, "I guess so, Buff. But that was procession. This is me transforming into a werewolf. There's a complete difference."
"That there is, Xand. That there is."
I smiled and opened the door and held it open for my friend. She walked in and I closed the door behind us.
The store looked like a tornado came through. I must really have done seriously damage here. God, being a werewolf is so unpredictable. Well, actually maybe not. But unlike a vampire who has the intelligence of a human being, a werewolf has no control over its actions. All that remains from an active werewolf brain is instinct-wild animal instinct.
Shelves were thrown around as well shattered glass. "God. This place is a mess."
Buffy nodded, "Definitely. Now, lets go see what's up?"
We made our way to the center of the store only to find Willow and Dawn going through books.
"Find anything?" The Slayer asked.
Willow looked up from the book. "We really didn't do that much research yet but I do know something that might help."
"And that would be?"
"When Oz was part of the group, we basically learned a lot about werewolves. Well, I did anyway. And if we find the creature that turned Xander and kill it, then Xander will go back to being human. That is if he didn't turn anyone last night."
Dawn put her book down and said to me, "Did you bite anyone last night?"
I shrugged, "I really don't know. When the wolf takes over, I'm in the backseat. So I don't know what happened."
Buffy turned to me, "When you came through the store you tried to kill Anya, but I stopped you. I also stopped you when you attacked Willow and Dawn. So, no damage there. But do you remember who bit you?"
I replied, "No I don't. Whatever bit me a few nights ago was at night. That means I didn't have a good look at my attacker."
Willow sighed, "That pretty much takes that theory out of the running. There's no real way to really know who bit you because it could've been anyone. Plus, Buffy doesn't kill people."
I looked down at the floor, "Great. Look's like I'm stuck as a werewolf."
All of a sudden Buffy said, "One thing that you might want to look in is that why didn't Xander try and bite me the other night."
The Witch's eyes widened, "He didn't try and bite you. Weird."
"That's what I said." I told them.
"Well," Buffy began, "Xander and I have some things to look into. We'll come back later. You two continue the researching."
"Sure. No problem." Willow said. "Researching is fun."
"Well, for you it is, Wills. Reading has always been one of your favorite things to do."
"You know me too well, Xander. Y'know that right?"
I smiled, "Of course I know you too well, Willow. You're my best friend. Always have and always will."
Buffy pouted, "What about me, Xand? Where do I fit in your life?"
I flashed my lopsided grin; "You're also my best friend, Buff. We've been through so much together, it only makes sense."
She smiled, "Good. Now," my friend glanced at her watch, and then back at me, "we better get going."
I nodded, "Right. Let's go."
With that said, Buffy and I said our goodbyes and left the store.
The rest of the day seemed to go rather quickly. We saw a movie-a comedy no less. And just hung out. Dinner went by fast as well.
After dinner, the two of us headed back to the crypt. I opened the door to the cage, stepped inside, and locked it behind me.
Buffy looked at me, "I guess I better go, Xander. I'll see you in the morning. I got to patrol anyway." Then she headed for the exit.
Just as I saw Buffy head for the exit, I realized something. I think it would be a lot easier for me if she were here for my transformation. I know I'd feel better about it. And with Anya leaving me, I definitely would feel better. I stopped her, "Wait."
She turned around and said, "Yeah?"
"Can you?"
A confused look was made, "Can I what?"
I sighed and looked her straight in the eyes, "Can you stay when I transform? I don't want to be alone."
She approached me and grabbed onto the bars. After nodding, she said, "Of course I'll stay."
I smiled. "Thanks, Buff. It means a lot to me."
The two of us turned to face the entrance of the crypt that headed outside. We could see the sun starting to go down. At that very moment, I started to feel a pain go wild through my body. My head was pounding and my sides where shaking. At that moment, I still had some control. So, I took off my shirt and threw it to the back of the cage. Followed by my jeans, boxers, socks, and shoes. It happened so fast that I didn't have time to be embarrassed with my nakedness. "It's starting!" I managed to say.
I bent over in pain and then looked at Buffy. She looked at me with such concern.
But I transformed within the next few moments, and fell to the ground standing on my hands and feet. As soon as I was in full werewolf mode, I howled out a mighty cry, and charged the front of the cage. It didn't budge. I tried and tried to break free but the cage restricted me.
After my fourth attempt, I looked in front of me and saw Buffy staring me right in the eyes. She said to me, "Don't worry, Xander. I'll help you get through this. You're always there for me, and I want to be there for you. It only seems fair." She looked at her watch, and then back at me, "I have to go, but I'll be here when you change back."
With that said, Buffy turned around and left the crypt leaving me to pace.
Twenty minutes passed and I continued to pace. I pretty much gave up on trying to break free.
All of a sudden I felt this tremendous pain in the back of my brain. I couldn't explain it, but it was driving me crazy. I had to get out of there. After another howl, I walked to the back of the cage and turned around. I felt a new source of strength wash over me as I charge forward. With a mighty pounce, I broke down the door and left the crypt.
As soon as I got out of the crypt and into the cemetery I smelled a familiar scent from last night. I immediately recognized it. It was Buffy.
I looked around and saw her kneeling behind a tombstone. It seemed like she was planning out an attack on a group of vampires.
The pain got worse, and I moved forward. The whole time hoping the pain would subside. But it didn't.
I soon reached her, and I snarled.
She looked at me as if she was trying to recognize who I was.
After a few seconds, she asked in a quiet voice, "Xander?"
As a response I nodded.
A confused look was made, "You can understand me?"
Again, I nodded.
"Come here," she said to me, and I obeyed. Buffy petted me on the head and said, "stay here. I have to slay these guys."
With that said, she carefully stood up and crept away from the tombstone. After she crawled a few steps, she looked back at me to check on me. I didn't move. "Good, Xander. Just stay there."
She immediately spun around and charged the vampire horde.
There were ten of them and she caught them off guard.
My friend withdrew her stake and ran to one of the vampires. She immediately dusted her first one.
One of the vampires said to her, "You're going to pay for that."
She smirked, "What are you going to do? Charge me?"
That same vampire said, "Yeah, with your life." Then he grabbed her by the arm and flung her to a tombstone. Her head hit the stone, and she fell to the ground. It looked like she was unconscious.
I snarled as that same vampire approached her, "I never killed a Slayer before."
