“Look out!” Buffy shouted as the demon… the blonde racked her brain for its name… Minuteman? Took a swing at her watcher and “Ooof!” Giles cried out as the air was knocked out of him and he was knocked into the wall by the demons large and powerful arm. Loosing consciousness the Chosen Ones Watcher slumped to the ground unconscious. Wincing slightly Buffy looked over to where Willow and Tara were futilely chanting spells. As one of them hit the grotesque creature with a powerful looking bolt of light the demon stopped for a minute for shaking it off and roaring at the witches. Diving for the two women he seemed surprised, an odd expression on a demon’s face, when it bounced off a protective gold bubble that surrounded the handholding witches.
Xander shouted as the demon began beating at his friends magical shield. Running towards it he ignored the spaced out slayer and jumped onto the demons back beating at it with his club. The demon shook his head and thrashed around as he tried to throw the annoying pest off his back. Roaring he cheerfully picked the brunette off his back and threw him into a tree. Sliding onto the ground he caught sight of the spaced off slayer and a deep rage formed inside of him and boiled up inside. Forcing the urge to join the demon in rending the Slayer limb from limb he shouted at Buffy. “Buffy! Get your rear in gear! Come on you can beat him!” Buffy snapped out of her haze her blonde hair whipping around her as she launched herself at the M’nut-A-min demon. The ax she was wielding was the only weapon that they had that was able to kill the demon and Xander and Giles had known this when they headed out. But it would not do well to make Tara and Willow feel useless and while either Giles or Xander could have taken the weapon it was so much easier to let the Slayer use it and feel her slayer best. She was the ‘Chosen One’ after all.
Pulling himself up from the ground Xander backed into the tree as the demon caught his eye. Easily swatting aside Buffy the demon… smiled. What the Hell!?!?!?
*That’s quite an appropriate phrase.* A deep voice growled in his mind causing Xander supreme pain and he knew. He Knew what had happened.
______________________________________________________________________________________
Giles looked at his young charges and opened a large tome to a page with a nasty looking picture of a demon on it. “This is the M’nut-A-min demon. He has been terrorizing the Hellmouth for the past week. Tonight we need to stop him before he attempts another sacrifice and utilizes the power for a vision.”
“Wait. You mean he’s psychic?” Buffy popped up from where she was making out with Riley. Giles rolled his eyes and Xander and Willow had to hold back groans. Xander because it was out of character and Willow because she did not want to hurt her best friends feelings. But truly, Buffy could be so Blonde sometimes!
“Yes Buffy, and you would know that if you had been paying attention recently.” Buffy blushed at the scolding tone to her watchers words. “A M’nut-A-min has some psychic powers, but usually only when dealing with his own death or those of people close to him. He is also telepathic but only with people who hold a darkness in their souls. People who sink close to a demonic level of evilness.” Before Giles could get really into his lecture Xander interrupted looking jittery and ready to hit the road.
“Can we load up and head out then? The sooner this things gone then the less chance we have of him gathering followers. Sunnydale’s full of evildoers.”

“No! I’m not evil!” Xander shouted holding his hands to his ears as he dropped to his knees, the pain was unbelievable. It was also calling to that darkness that he held buried inside of himself. The darkness that held the Hyena and remnants of the soldier, the part that held the malevolence that had always belonged to him.
*So you say mortal, but I can sense the lie in those words* The demon chuckled inside the young man’s mind as he easily fended off the advances of the slayer. *You’ve always attracted evil haven’t you? I can see that in you, attracting girls who would kill you as soon as look at you, managing to find trouble in the safest of places, warping magic, and being possessed twice? You are most definitely not evil but… shadows hang around you.* Tears streamed down his face as the young mortal fought to stay conscious. He did not want to know what would happen to him if he fell unconscious while this fiend was in his head. Willow and Tara screamed and began to run over to him but the demon knocked them over again, forcing them back. Xander knelt alone at the foot of a large tree fighting a demon in his head. Buffy, blonde hair flying behind her screamed out her rage and frustration at one of these creatures hurting her friend.
“You’re WRONG! I’m one of the good guys!” He shouted but the rage at being hurt and unable to do anything and none of his friends were helping him and this creature was telling the truth and there is evil in everyone… “AAAAAAAAGH! GET OUT OF MY MIND!!!” Xander screamed cutting off that train of thought. Inside of him he could distantly hear the hyena’s cackled and the Soldier’s shouted commands and gunshots. He could also hear the chuckle of an evil he had thought he had long buried. That he had destroyed inside of himself by joining the Slayer and fighting the forces of darkness.
*So you say young one, but you will soon discover the truth.* The demon stopped and Buffy took his distraction and used it, chopping his legs out from under him. *I will die now young one but the deaths of those around you are not far off. There is a new but old evil approaching. Since I will be gone soon…* It chuckled as Buffy raised her ax to cut off his head, knocking her away so he could finish his conversation with Xander. *The darkness will have its fondest wish fulfilled, a Master to bring it out and let it play.* Buffy raised the ax again and chopped down. *Goodbye boy*
Sobbing Xander collapsed to the ground holding onto the grass as if it was the only thing keeping him from just floating away. Like it was connecting him to his life by the merest thread. “Xander!” Willow shouted and rushed over to him kneeling down and cradling him in her arms. “What did it do? What did it say?” Xander looked into his life-long friends eyes and then looked away again. She held that darkness within her too but his had always been stronger, more apparent. She knew why the dome had talked to him, she and Tara both remembered Giles lecture. Tara came over and knelt beside her girlfriend while Buffy stood over them all still holding her ax. Xander chocked back a sob at how his extended family was reacting and quickly wiped his tears away allowing himself to be calmed by Willow’s arms around him.
“It said… that everyone here was going to die. That I was evil, that…” Xander choked, “there was a ‘new but old’ bad guy coming to dance with us.” Willow smiled down and him petting his hair and was about to say something when Giles groaned and everyone rushed over to help him up.
“Did Buffy kill it?” He asked as he stood on wobbly feet, adjusting his glasses.
“Yep! But it told Xan that we were all gonna die.” Scrunching up her nose Buffy tried to understand all that. “It was just lying right?” Giles however was not paying attention to her looking at Xander with worried eyes. Especially when the boy turned away from him. “Giles!” Stamping her foot Buffy buried the stupid feeling of anger at being ignored. She was the chosen one, she had killed the demon, shouldn’t they be looking at her not Xander, he’d only talked to the stupid thing. Though in all fairness it had been inside his head.
“Oh, I’m sorry Buffy. Yes, yes it was probably lying. I say, have any of you seen Spike? He usually shows up around this time to annoy us.” At the shakes of his protégé’s heads the Watcher sighed and led them all off.
Spike was, at the moment, lying in his crypt thinking of all the various ways he could get to the Slayer. The most obvious would be just to get their insecurities to play off each others which would be fairly easy. The witch and the whelp had massive amounts of insecurities just waiting to be picked at and played with. ‘Course he wanted to keep the whelp, boy was damn fun to play with. Shame he could not play properly with the chip. Stiffening Spike felt the presence that had been taunting him for most of the day appear at his crypt door. Turning to face it he scowled as Angel entered. “What? ‘Ere to stake me? Couldn’t let the slayer do it by proxy?” He snarked, secretly hurt that his sire would rather side with the slayer then his own childe then… Drusilla walked in.
“Oh my delightful little golden boy, we can’t let the bad men keep hurting you can we. And don’t be mean to Daddy the angel-beast is gone and Daddy’s gonna play proper now. Not all mean like he was last time.” Dru turned and whirled and danced around Spike’s cave while said vampire stood and gaped at her. Turning to the dark
vampire Spike said hesitantly, more like William the poet then William the Bloody.
“Angelus?” Smiling said vampire whipped his childe into a hug and squeezed him, whispering in his ear while enjoying the feel of his Will’s body again.
“No one is going to hurt you ever again Will. I’m back and there’s no chance of getting through me to you.” Stepping back the 240 year old vampire smiled down at his favorite childe. Always trying so hard to do what his sire wanted, always being so mean and cruel. His Will, but he was Dru’s Will too and since the older vampire was going to get two new play toys it was probably only fair to let Dru have him. Though she would be getting a new play thing too. “I’m back and better then ever. No more pansying around, sure I’ll still be taunting the Slayer but I’m gonna kill her quick this time. No more swordfights or stuff like that. First though, I gotta make sure they know I’m back, then we grab the Witch, turn her, taunt the Slayer, grab her, torture, maim and kill her, grab the boy, keep him, kill the watcher.” Smiling he watched as his childe mulled this over.
“One small problem Angelus, those damn soldier boys put this chip in my skull and I… can’thurthumans.” Spike muttered the last part quickly and the brunette vampire swept his blonde childe up in a kiss, letting his gameface come to the fore.
“Don’t worry me boy, those bastards will get what’s coming to them. We will get that nasty little thing out of your head and then you’ll be able to be yourself. William the Bloody once again!” Smiling the neutered vampire kissed his sire back, knowing that he would once again have family and once again be able to kill.
“One thing, I want the Watcher.” Smiling Spike dove back into his sire’s embrace.
