Chapter 4

"What are you thinking about?" Paige asked Xander as they sat in the kitchen. It had been about an hour since Xander had waked up and explained his rather hellish dating history to them.

"Just thinking that I'm lucky to still be alive." Xander said to the red head sitting a few feet away from him. "So what's up with you and your sisters?" Xander asked. "What do you mean?" Paige asked confused.

"Well how did you know I was being attacked by the fang gang." Xander said to her. "Oh that, Phoebe has premonitions of people in trouble that we need to help." Paige explained to the one eyed man in front of her.

"So that's what you three do, help people." Xander said to the witch. "Yeah its kinda our destiny." Paige explained. "Never been a big fan of destiny." Xander said to Paige. "Why?" Paige asked. "Awhile back a friend of mine was more or less destined to die at the hands of a super strong vamp." Xander explained.

"That sucks." Paige said. "Yeah but I was able to save her." The one eyed man said. "Well that's good." The red haired woman said. Before Xander could say anything else Piper and Phoebe came into the room with two other men.

"So this is the guy?" The blond haired man asked. "Yup this is Xander." Piper said. "Uh nice to meet you." Xander said to the man, a little confused "Same here, the names Leo." The man said while shaking Xander's hand. "Leo healed your head." Phoebe explained. "Oh, well thanks for that." Xander said to Leo. "Anytime." Leo responded.

"The dark haired guy is Chris." Paige said while gesturing at the other man. "Nice to meet you." Xander said to the man. "Nice to see you again." He said back while shaking his hand. "What?" Xander asked confused. "Chris is from the future." Piper said. "Oh that explains it." Xander said as if everything was normal.

"That doesn't surprise you?" Leo asked. "No it doesn't, good lord I have been living on the hellmouth way too long." Xander said while putting his face in his hands and mumbling. "What's a hellmouth?" Phoebe asked the one eyed carpenter. "It is a mystical convergence point that attracts demons to it." Leo explained to his former charge.

"And you lived on one of these things?" Paige asked in shock. "Lived on, hell my high school library was built on it." Xander said to the group. "Wow, gives a whole new meaning to the term high school is hell." Phoebe said with a grin. "You're telling me." Xander said back.

"Well it's getting late, Xander your more than welcome to crash on the couch if you want." Piper said to the brown haired man. "Thanks." Xander said to the witch as she left the room, Phoebe, Chris, and Leo soon followed.

"I'll get you some blankets." Paige said as she stood up and left the room with Xander right behind her. A few minutes later Xander was asleep on the couch while the three witches where sleeping in their rooms.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There was darkness everywhere around Xander as he looked around this new place he was in. "Hello is anyone there?" Xander called out into the darkness but there was no response. Before Xander could do anything else the darkness around him shattered and he found himself in a large, a well lit room that looked like the inside of a temple. In the center of the room was a pedestal that had a glowing object on it. Xander slowly made his way to the pedestal and saw that the item was a sword.

The blade of the sword was about three feet long and the hilt about 10 inches. The sword was clearly designed to be used two handed. The pommel was what appeared to be a small crystal with twin angel wings wrapped around it. The hilt and was silver in color with leather wrapped around it for a better grip, the hand guard had a small glowing jewel imbedded in it with three pieces of metal coming out of both sides making it look like a sunburst.

The blade was glowing a golden color and had strange ruins engraved onto both sides of the blade. Xander was in awe of the sword and slowly reached his hand out for it. Before Xander could touch the sword there was a loud roar behind him. Xander quickly turned around and saw a large demon behind him.

The demon was large and reptilian, at the end of each finger where inch long claws as well as at the end of each toe. It was tall, about eight feet in height. Its eye's were a sickly yellow and seemed to glow. It was covered in green and black scales from head to foot and had to horns on the back of its head that pointed forward. The demon bared its fangs and lunged at Xander who tried to move to the side but fell to ground. As the demon was about to sink its claws into Xander's neck, but before it could Xander rolled to the side and came up next to the pedestal.

Xander quickly grabbed the sword and turned to face the demon that was charging him again. Xander moved to the side and brought the sword up which cut deep into the demons neck. The large demon roared in pain and backed away. "We'll meet again." The demon hissed and then disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.

Xander looked at the sword in his hands and then looked around the room he was in. In a far corner of the room Xander noticed a stairway and quickly headed for it. When he reached the top of the stairs he looked around and saw he was in a mausoleum. The one eyed man quickly made his way over to the door and exited through it. Looking around outside the mausoleum he saw the name Wesson on it.

Xander sprung awake on the couch and looked around forgetting where he was. "Man that's the third time I've had that dream." Xander said to himself as he put his head in his hands. Xander would have gone back to sleep except that he heard noises coming from the kitchen.

Xander went to investigate the noises and saw that Piper was bent over pulling something out of the stuff while Paige was reading the newspaper at the table. "Good morning." Paige said to the man as he walked into the kitchen.

"Morning." Xander said back as he sat down. "Hungry?" Piper asked as she stood up. "Yeah I am." Xander responded. "Good because I made cinnamon rolls." Piper said as she sat a plate of rolls on the table.

"Yay." Paige said as she grabbed one and took a bite. Xander likewise grabbed one of the pastries and took a bite. "These are really good." Xander said to Piper as she put another batch in the oven. "Thank you." Piper said as she stood up.

"Xander are there gonna be any people worried about the fact that you where gone all night?" Paige asked as she finished the cinnamon roll and wiped her hand off. Xander in turn just smacked his head and groaned. "Buffy is gonna kill me." Xander said in despair.

"Who is Buffy?" Paige asked the man in front of her. "A friend with a short temper and a lot of strength." Xander said as he rubbed the sides of his head. "Well we should get you back then." Piper said to the man at the table.

"C'mon I'll drive you." Paige said as she grabbed her keys. "Thanks." Xander said as he finished his cinnamon roll and stood up. "Xander." Piper called out to him as he and Paige where exiting the room. "Yeah?" Xander asked as he turned around. "I wanna know more about this hellmouth thing so you think you could stop by tonight and explain it in more detail?" Piper asked the young man. "No prob." Xander responded as he and Paige exited the room.

Fifteen minutes later Paige was pulling up to a stop in front of the hotel Xander and his friends were staying at. "This is where you're staying?" Paige asked the man as he got out of her car. "Yup." Xander said as he closed the door and bent down to talk to her through the open window. "So I'll pick you up here around seven." Paige said to him. "Yup see you then." Xander said as he stood up and Paige drove off.

"Now to face a pissed off slayer." Xander said as he made his way up to the front doors of the hotel. As soon as Xander stepped inside he heard some one scream his name. "XANDER!" Buffy said as she rushed down the stairs with Willow, Dawn, and Giles right behind her.

"Morning Buff." Xander said with a small grin. "Don't you morning Buff me mister where the hell where you all night?" Buffy asked the man in front of her. "Long story." Xander replied as he started to make his way up the stairs. "Where do you think your going?" Buffy asked as she grabbed his arm.

"I am going to take a shower." Xander said as he pulled his arm away and went up the stairs to his room. Ten minutes later Xander was showered and in a fresh pair of cloths when he encountered his friends again. "Alright now spill were where you?" Buffy said to Xander as she dragged him into her room where Willow, Dawn, and Giles where already gathered.

"I was with my date." Xander said in a sheepish tone. "That's a lie and you know it buster." Willow said to her friend. "And how would you know." Xander said turning to the red haired witch. "Because we saw you leave the club last night." Buffy said to the man. "What do you mean you saw me leave the club, where you spying on me?" Xander asked in an angry tone.

"Only because we wanted to make sure you would be okay." Willow said to the one eyed man. "Willow I'm a grown man I don't need you to baby sit me!" Xander yelled at his friend. "Don't yell at her, we where only doing it for your own good." Buffy said to him. "What do you mean for my own good!" Xander then yelled at the blond.

"Xander when was the last time you dated a woman that wasn't a demon." Buffy said in a superior tone. "Last night." Xander shot back. "Well if she isn't a demon then were where you all night?" Buffy asked him. "None of your business." Xander said as he stood up and walked towards the door.

"Were are you going we're not done yet." Buffy said to the departing man. Xander in turn just flipped her the bird over his shoulder as he shut the door and made his way back to his own room.

A few hours later, after Xander had cooled down he left his room in search of Giles who could hopefully shed some light on this dream he had been having. Xander found Giles in the lounge of the hotel talking to Buffy and Willow. "Giles can I talk to you?" Xander asked as he walked over there.

"Of course Xander, what about?" The former librarian asked the young man he had come to see as his son. "Lately I've been having this really weird dream and I think it might mean something." Xander said as he sat down on a chair across from Giles. "I highly doubt that Xander, I mean your not a slayer you don't have any powers." Buffy said to the one eyed man before Giles had a chance to respond.

"So your saying that just because I'm not a slayer I can't have a dream that means something?" Xander asked getting angry. "Well yeah." Buffy said while shrugging her shoulders. "Forget this I never should have said anything." Xander said getting up and walking out the doors of the hotel.

'Where does she get off talking too me like that.' Xander thought as he walked down one of San Francisco's many streets. 'Jeez, just because I'm not a slayer doesn't mean that something special could happen to me.' He thought as he kicked a can down the street.

Xander kept on walking in a pissed off mood when he heard a familiar voice farther down the street. "Slow down dogs." The voice said as Xander looked up and saw Paige with a bunch of dog leashes in her hand.

"Paige." Xander called as he ran to catch up to her. "Xander, what are you doing here?" Paige asked as Xander caught up to her. "Walking, what are you doing?" Xander asked as he looked down at the dogs. "Walking dogs, what's it look like I'm doing." Paige said to the man.

"You ok? You look a little pissed." Paige said to Xander. "I've just been having a bad day." Xander said as the two of them walked down the street. "Why?" Paige asked. "Well turns out my friends don't think I can take care of myself so they had to spy on our date." Xander grumbled. "They where spying on us?" Paige asked in disbelief. "Yup." Xander said back. "Some friends." Paige mumbled under her breath.

"I have an idea." Paige said to the one eyed man. "What?" Xander asked. "How about after I drop these dogs off at home I help cheer you up." The red haired witch said with a smile. "How?" Xander asked. "Well I could show you around town and we could grab a bite to eat." Paige responded. "You know, if I didn't know better I'd say your asking me out again." Xander said with a grin.

"Guilty as charged, what do you." Paige asked. "Well let's see, I could either spend the day with a beautiful woman or with my friends who believe I need to be protected all the time, hmm tough choice." Xander said with a laugh. "So is that a yes?" Paige asked with a smile. "Yes it is." Xander said as he offered her his arm.

The rest of the day when great for Xander, he was able got to know Paige better and saw the sites that the city by the bay had to offer. By the time the sun was going down Xander had forgotten about how he was mad at Buffy and Willow and was just enjoying his day.

"So feel better now?" Paige asked as they walked down a street. "Yes I do, thanks." Xander said to his date. "Anytime." Paige said back as she held onto his hand. "Hey Paige there's something I've been meaning to ask." Xander said to the witch. "Shoot." Paige said back "Last night your sister said that guy Leo healed my head." Xander said. "Yeah so." The red head said back. "What did she mean by that?" Xander asked

"Leo is an elder so he has the power to heal people." Paige explained to the man. "What's an elder?" Xander asked. "An elder is one of the boys upstairs and they're in charge of the whitelighters." Paige said. "A what?" Xander asked getting more confused. "A whitelighter is like an angel that protects and guides good witches." The red head explained. "Oh ok." Xander said no longer confused.

"Well it's getting late you wanna head over to my place now?" Paige asked. "Yeah, better then going back to that hotel." Xander said. "Alright lets go." Paige said as she and Xander made their way to her car and got in.

Ten minutes later they pulled up in front of the Halliwell manor and went in. "Piper, Phoebe I'm home." Paige called into the house. "You're late." Piper said as she walked into the front hall. "Got sidetracked." Paige said while gesturing to Xander. "Hi." Xander said to the dark haired witch.

"Xander." Piper said back in greeting and the group moved into the living room. "Where's Phoebe?" Paige asked as they sat down. "Right here." Phoebe said as she walked into the room. "Alright now all we need is Chris and Leo." Piper said and as if on cue both of them appeared in the room in pillars of light. "Cool." Xander said as he looked at the lights.

"What was that?" Xander asked as Chris and Leo sat down. "It's called orbing, it's how we get around." Leo explained to the one eyed man. "Ok, so then what else do you want to know about me?" Xander asked the group in front of him. "How about you start at when you found out about demons and work your way up from there." Phoebe suggested.

"This is gonna take awhile." Xander said as he then launched into his story.
