Chapter 7 My Xander Shape Friend. You know the story Xander has been turn into a vamp. Need to find out why he is still Xander. It's been a long time but I'm back with another chapter. Enjoy.
A couple days later Buffy is patrolling and Xander goes with her. The night seems really quiet and cemetery even quieter.
"I like this," says Buffy as she looks at Xander walking beside her.
"What?" ask Xander turning his head around to look at Buffy's face.
"Patrolling together," says Buffy. "It's a little better than us trying avoid Giles."
"Well, yeah."
"I know did you see how he was holding the glass with scotch," says Buffy. "It was just too much for him to bare."
"Well, picture this," says Xander. "You catching Giles and your mom having sex."
"I almost did," says Buffy. "Don't remind me."
"Oh, yeah," says Xander remembering the band candy.
The two continued walking in silence for little while. Then Buffy stops.
"Gross," says Buffy.
"What?" ask Xander stopping beside her.
"Giles and mom kissing," says Buffy. "Just got a mental image." Xander laughs.
"Let's change the subject," says Xander.
"Please," says Buffy begging Xander to come up with something else to talk about.
"Hey, what about a name," says Xander.
"A name," says Buffy confuse at what Xander is getting at.
"Yeah, for me," says Xander. "Like something that describes me but strikes fear in the hearts of evil."
"Oh, well maybe you could be..." Buffy stays quiet thinking for a while. Then five minutes later.
"Buffy," says Xander pulling her out of deep thought.
"What?" ask Buffy. "Oh I got one. We shall call you Funny Man."
"Funny Man," says Xander in disbelief. "What kid of a name is that? That's not fearful. That's..."
"Funny," says Buffy laughing. "Well, Xander all the good ones are taking. Superman, Spiderman, though Spiderman I don't like cause of the spiders. It's better this Xander. You should just stick with your own name. I like it."
"Okay," says Xander with a grin. "Xander it stays. But if I come up with a real good one..."
"You better let me know first," says Buffy.
"Yes mom," Xander jokes.
"Oh, Giles and my mom," says Buffy. "Mental image."
"Oops," says Xander.
"Ahhhhhhh!" Someone screams from afar. Xander and Buffy look at each other.
"I think they got your mental image," says Xander.
They both begin to run as fast as the can. When they arrive to where the fight is someone already stake the vamp.
"Spike," Buffy and Xander both say.
"Hey," says Spike picking up his pack of cigarettes that the vamp made him drop. He quickly lights up a smoke and faces them blowing smoke at the two.
Xander and Buffy see the victim on the floor. It's a girl dress in white. Buffy checks for pulse.
"She's okay," says Buffy. "Thanks Spike."
"Right," says Spike with the cigarette in his mouth. "Just doing my good deed for the month." He walks off.
"I need a walk too," says Xander turning to Buffy then looking at Spike walk off. "Spike's walk needs work. He looks like someone gave him a wedgie and he still..."
"Xander," says Buffy in a stern voice.
"Sorry," Xander says.
"She seems to be okay," says Buffy checking for any bumps and bruises. "Just a little bump on the head."
"I think we should get her to a hospital," says Xander.
"Maybe," says Buffy looking at the girl.
"Maybe not," says Xander facing away from Buffy.
"Why not?" ask Buffy looking up at Xander who looks a little worry.
"Cause of them," says Xander. A group of vamps surround them.
"Don't vampires ever take a day off?" says Buffy as she gets up.
"I don't know," says Xander. "But they are sure working over time tonight."
"Hey, you guys how about I give you head start and I'll go hunt you down. Alright with you?" ask Buffy. "It's much more fun." The vamps look at her and sneer at her.
"Guess not," says Xander. "You know you guys need to lighten up. Come on picking on poor defenseless people. That's pathetic. No wonder you're at the bottom of the evil food chain."
"Not a good idea to piss off angry vamps," says Buffy. "Alright Xander I'll handle them and you get the girl to the hospital."
"No, you take the girl to the hospital and I'll handle them," says Xander.
"Xander no," says Buffy. "You can't. You may have been patrolling for about a month with your vamp ability but you cannot take these ten vamps by yourself."
"Yes I can!" says Xander taking Buffy's stake from her coat and throwing it at the vamp coming at them. He quickly turns into dust. "Now go!"
"I don't want to lose you again," says Buffy in a meek voice.
"You won't," says Xander as he rams into the little army of vamps and starts to fight them. Buffy takes a second to watch and then she picks up the girl. She starts to run as fast as she can to the cemetery gates. A couple of vamps begin to follow her.
Buffy stops at the gates, puts the girl down and pulls from her coat pocket a flask with holy water in it. Closing the gates of the cemetery she begins to cover the gates completely with holy water. She throws the flask away and picks up the girl.
When the vamps that follow her arrive to where Buffy is she hears them. She looks back then continues to walk away. The vamps think they have her until they touch the gate to try to open it. They begin to yelp and sneer at the slayer as she walks towards the hospital about a block away.
Back in the cemetery Spike sees Buffy walk off with the girl and he sees the vamp run away from the gates. Then from afar he hears some fighting. He remembers that Buffy was with Xander. Spike begins to run towards where the fight is occurring.
Xander gets hit real hard when Spike arrives. Spike extends his hand out to Xander to help him up.
"Need a hand mate," says Spike vamping up.
"Sure," replies Xander as he vamps up. "Why not." They both take on the vamps that are left and dust them all in less than two minutes.
At the hospital the girl that Buffy is carrying wakes up before they could enter the hospital. She begins to mumble something and Buffy lays her against the wall.
"What are you saying?" ask Buffy.
"Those were the vampires," says the girl.
"Yeah, there were vampires, but you're okay now," says Buffy. "Let's get you inside..."
"No," says the girl pulling Buffy toward her by her shirt. "I was sent by the powers to warn you."
"Warn me about what?" ask Buffy.
"They were supposed to kill you, but he didn't let you."
"What?" ask Buffy confuse.
"Xander has finished what he was sent her to stop," says the girl. "He's done." The girl faints.
"No, he can't go," says Buffy putting her hand over her mouth. "You can't take him!" Tears start to seep from her eyes. Some people from the hospital heard Buffy screaming at the girl.
"Hey!" one of them calls. Buffy gets up and looks at them. She then runs away. The guys pick the girl up and take her inside. As one of the men carries her into the hospital she disappears from his arms. The guys look at each other and look all around.
Buffy reaches the gates of the cemetery and opens them almost breaking them. She runs inside and sees Spike.
"Where is he?" Buffy ask. Spike looks at Buffy and bows his head.
"I'm sorry pet," says Spike putting his hand on her shoulder. "He's gone."
"No," says Buffy in small voice. Her eyes get really big and she looks around. Some tears begin to form. "He can't be. No!" She falls to the ground and begins to sob. Spike holds her to comfort her.
"Everything is going to be fine luv," says Spike trying to make her feel better. Buffy looks at him with a cascade of tears coming down her face.
"He promised he'd never leave me," says Buffy. She continues to sob some more on Spike's chest.
