Chapter 3
Spike is sitting at the bar ordering a drink. Assorted demons and vampires are through out the bar. "How about some baboon and a shot of bourbon to wash it down."
"Coming right up Spike," Willy says as he gets out the blood. It is the front door being kicked off their hinges and flying inwards that startles everyone. The look to the door way and there stands one lone figure. A human with dark hair but almost glowing amber eyes.
"Humans out now, the rest of you are already dead." Comes the cold voice of the human.
Spike already knows how it is but isn't to worried. "Guess the whelp is going to die before I get my chance to torment him about his girl."
As the humans run out a human size demon with a coat of gray fur stands up, "Leave us human. You can't kill us all. If you can even get one I would be surprised."
Alpha turns to the demon, "My name is Xander Harris. I am known as the Hunter among many demons. I have come to kill you all." He rushes forward and grabs a lizard like demon with spike on its head and twists its neck till it breaks with a loud crack. The demons stare on and some rush towards him. A battle of Alpha and Demon begin. Alpha is unable to keep up with all the different demons that are attacking. He knows he has broken a few arms so far but it seems the bar is over their fear and is going full force. A pogera demon sticks him through the shoulder. He feels some claws scratch across his chest and back. A big gray demon with black horns and green glowing eyes is able to land a solid punch in his chest which knocks him back into a wall. He stands up when he feels a shooting pain in his other shoulder and sees a spike has been drive through him shoulder nailing him to the wall. The demons move closer to finish him off.
"Enough," yells a red scaled demon. "I know of you Hunter and your Slayer. I was there when we ambushed you. I guess you are nothing with out your Slayer, right boys." General laugher can be heard through Willy's. "Don't worry I am sure we will comfort her when she hears of your passing. Spike will be willing to whore her out to us so we can stake her good like so must have been needing since being with you." While the demon speaks Alpha's eyes grow brighter. "You want to know something else about the slut," the demon leans in real close to Alphas and whispers in his ear. It is at the moment his eyes open wide and then roll in to the back of his head. "Well boys I guess he was just too weak to do anything. Kill him and let's get going."
The demon that had him pinned pulls his arm back and gets ready to stab its spike through his heart when Alpha's arm shoots up and grabs the spike. His eyes open to reveal a bright glowing red. The demon look on as he twists his hand breaking the spike then showing it back through the demons skull. The red scaled demon knows what is going on and tries to get out of there. The Hunter stands up and the sound of ripping clothing can be heard as his arms, chest, and back swell with muscle. He grows a foot taller and his nails darken and extend from his hands forming claws. His mouth starts to extend out as his canines increase. The demons look in horror as what he has become. A few attack him while others try to get out. The Hunter starts killing in droves. Demons that had the upper hand minutes ago are now losing arms. The Hunter shoves both hands in to the chest of a Feral demon and rips it open blood splashing everywhere. The fight turns to a slaughter as a few demons make it away from him. The Hunter looks around as the last demon dies and gives out a mighty roar. He sniffs the air and finds a blond vampire trying to sneak out the door from behind the bar. The Hunter launches himself towards him and picks him off the ground.
"Wait a minute Lex. I don't know what you heard but it isn't true. I would never touch your girl." Spike stammers out to him.
The Hunter pulls Spike in close and stares at him in the eyes. "You smell like her vampire. I have already talked to her and she told me that you two having been screwing."
The look of terror spreads across Spike's face. He knows that there is no walking away from this. "So you going to kill me like this. All defenseless against you. Not very sporting there. I can leave this town and never come back."
"Vampire you are wasting your time I am not going to kill you now but something more fitting should be done." After that is said he starts to tighten the hold on Spikes right shoulder. You can hear the shoulder crack on the pressure as Spike screams. The shoulder is completely destroyed and then The Hunter rips the arm out of the crushed socket. The howl of pain coming from Spike can be heard down the road. The Hunter smirks through long fangs, "Well Spike that is a good start. What else can I do? I know." The Hunter then lifts Spike up higher and grabs hold of his right hip. Before the Hunter starts he sniffs the air a few times and turns towards the door. "You might want to look away Vic. This isn't going to be pleasant to watch."
"Put him down Xander. You have done enough. Come back with me. We can get a place for the night and you can tell me what is going on."
"Can't do that yet. He needs to be tough a lesson about ownership and punishment for taking things that aren't his."
"You are doing this for the slut." Vicky says very loudly to make sure he heard her correctly.
Spike is thrown through the wall out on to the street as The Hunter turns towards Vicky. "If you want to live you won't say things like that to me."
"You leave because she died. She came back and started sleeping with him. I can say it all I want. It is the truth Xander. She is a cheap slut that doesn't deserve what you are doing to try and clean up her image."
The Hunter raced forward roaring and grabs Vicky by the shoulders. Vicky shows no sign of fear. He can't even smell it off her. She is just standing there. "I could kill you right now and walk away. I could find Spike and finish what I started."
"You could but then you wouldn't be the Xander I know and care about. I said I would never be afraid of you while you were alive. I can hear your heart beating so you can put me down and change back or not but you are no going to do anything to Spike."
Red eyes meet green. The Hunter's eyes are filled with rage and anger. Vicky's are filled with love and concern. The Hunter puts Vicky down as he starts to turn back to normal. His body shrinks down as his fangs and claws recede. His eyes change from bright red, to dark red, and then brown. He looks at her and falls on the floor from exhaustion.
"Come on Xan it is time to get to bed." She lifts him up and together they walk out of the destroyed bar and head back towards a motel for the night. Xander takes a shower to wash off the blood and goes to sleep on the floor. "Not tonight Suga. Just sleep in the bed with me. No funny business or anything just the comfort of having someone next to them." Xander just nods his head and crawls into bed with her and goes off to sleep. With morning will come a time for questions.
Xander manages to wake up around noon. He looks and sees a pile of clothes for him with a note. 'Xan I am actually getting lunch. You usually are the first one up. When you wake up get dressed and come on down. Vic'. He just smiles and starts to get dressed. He heads to lounge and there she is sitting at a booth with a soda and a coffee waiting for him.
"About time Suga, I don't like waiting. You can't make it here but certain times and I will eat with out you. So want do you want?"
"You aren't going to make me talk about it?"
"No. I don't really want to know. I did what I wanted to do. I got you back to normal and stopped you from destroying yourself. Spike will be suffering enough after all this. Before this gets any further I hit Faith a couple times last night before I went looking for you."
Xander just stares at her. He smiles a little, "I think she earned it. Don't worry we are going to talk later tonight. I have to talk to her about everything."
"No problem Xan. Lets get lunch and you can talk to her later." They get a server over to them and place orders.
Xander then turns to Vicky, "How did you do it? How were you able to stand up to me and not have any fear? What is your secret?"
"For another time Suga. After all this is over ask me again."
Spike is sitting at the bar ordering a drink. Assorted demons and vampires are through out the bar. "How about some baboon and a shot of bourbon to wash it down."
