Empty
Chapter 1
It is a beautiful day out with the sun shinning. Xander is sitting in a hammock in the back yard. A four year old browned hair girl is running around playing in the garden. His wife is bringing out food to grill outside and enjoy a late lunch.
"You almost done Faith? I need to get started on the food so when Willow, Buffy, and Dawn get her we can eat. You know Slayers like to be fed on time or they get antsy."
"Keep it up X and we will see what you will be eating tonight for desert."
"Only if you say so Faith."
As Faith walks through the screen door the little girl runs to her. "Mommy," she squeals as she latches on to her leg. This cause Faith to have to walk with a limp as the child will not let go. Xander falls out of the hammock laughing at the site as Faith just stares at him.
"Laugh it up Xan. Your desert can be canceled faster then you can eat a Twinkie," Faith comments with a smirk.
"I am sorry Baby you know I love you and I need my desert or I don't know what I will do. In fact maybe we can get Willow to take the little one and enjoy some desert earlier then tonight."
"I want Ice Cream to," came a little voice, "You said I can have desert after lunch and I will get some."
"Yeah you are your mother's daughter right Faith," Xander says as he picks her up and gives her a kiss on her cheek. "Faith, Faith were did you go?" Xander starts looking around for her but she isn't anywhere near him. He looks to his daughter and she is no longer in his arms. "What is going on? Baby where are you? "As Xander looks around for his wife and daughter the world around them starts to fade away. Soon he is alone in the darkness.
"They aren't here Xander."
"Who are you and what have you done to them. When I get my hands on you you're going to wish for a quick death."
"I have done nothing to them. Glory did, or at least her follower did. You remember the tower, the stab wound, the fall, and seeing her lifeless body on the debris. Dawn crying over her while you picked up the knife and killed Glory. You know this happened why are you fighting it. She is dead and you need to get back to the living. I can't maintain this forever. I was not meant to. You have the power to live." During Alpha's speech he walks out of the darkness and stands in front of Xander. They are virtually identical. It is the feral amber eyes of Alpha that sets him apart from Xander.
"No you are wrong. She was just here with me and our daughter. Buffy and Willow are going to swing by and have lunch."
"I am sorry Xander but this is a dream, or maybe a nightmare. She died and you are still alive. You have to stop denying it and move on. If you don't you will also be dead. I can't sustain this existence. In a month maybe two I will no longer have power to do so. You either accept this like you have me or we die a life that would shame our mate. I know my mate would never want me to be like this. Nor would I want this of her if I was to die. It is the fact we die that makes the lives together and families we build so important. Remember Xander we can mourn her passing as well as our cub but you have to get back to living. What do you say?"
"You can go rot. I will be here with my wife and my daughter. They live here and so will I." Xander swings his arm at Alpha and at the moment it connects he wakes up.
"Well he at least listened to the speech fully this time. Soon Xander, soon you will either live or we both die. Unfortunately I don't think my mate is going to please to see us this soon. Next time Xander. I will definitely mention it next time." Alpha then stands up heads to the shower to get ready for a new day. Some little town in Kansas has a rising death toll and he is going to kill what ever it is. Without Xander at the helm the hunt is all he can do. "Next time Xander we are going to have a long talk about our mate."
