Pairing: Xander/Phoebe Halliwell (save-age)
-----------------------------------
Xander groaned as he ducked yet another attack. "When did I sign up to be a damsel in distress, and how can I unsubscribe?" He muttered, pain shooting through his left leg. The last spell this warlock had thrown at him had, unfortunately, connected. It was very hard to judge when you only had one eye.
"Look out!" A voice behind him yelled.
Xander looked up just in time to dodge yet another of those stupid lightning bolts.
The woman who'd warned him ran up.
"In this time and in this hour,
I call upon an ancient power,
From this Warlock we must flee,
Take his magic,
So Mote It Be."
She chanted, throwing a silver dagger. The warlock disappeared in a burst of flames, and the woman grinned.
She had a pretty smile, Xander noticed, it made her dark eyes sparkle and she had such nice straight white teeth, and why was he noticing this now?
"You ok?"
Xander nodded. "I'll be fine, thanks to you."
She shrugged. "It was nothing."
"Ah, but it was. I know for a fact that magic is really hard to control. You must be very powerful." Xander complimented.
She blushed. "Not really. Are you sure you're ok? That burn looks pretty bad. Let me have someone heal it for you."
"That would be nice." Xander admitted.
"Ok. Leo!" The woman called at the sky. "Help needed! Sit down," she said to Xander, "we could be here a while."
Gratefully, Xander sat on a nearby bench.
"So what's your name?" The woman asked.
"Xander Harris."
"I'm Phoebe Halliwell."
