The Lost Boy: What Happened to Xander

by slayer_boi

She heard his cries, even sensed him nearby, but for some reason she could not get to him. Buffy had been down in the sewer tunnels of Sunnydale, California for almost two hours now. When she found Xander, if he wasn't already dead, she was going to kill him. She was always so busy, saving not only Xander, but evryone of her other friends who insisted on coming along on every patrol and being part of every battle. Although she enjoyed the company, and sometimes the help, they tended to distract her from doing her job. Besides all of that, the forces of evil had not been cutting her any slack lately.

She had been looking forward to a nice, semi relaxing, night at home, but when xander was captured, she decided that was out of the question.

Earlier that day, just as Buffy settled into a very warm bubble bath, there was a crash somewhere downstairs. of all the times for a demon to attack. Of course she had run downstairs to find a slimy looking thing attacking Xander, and majorly kicking his ass. So there she was wrapped in her towel, thinking two things. First, what the hell was attacking Xander, and second, why had she neglected to put on clothes?Especiallty when she was pretty sure the source of the noise downstairs was a demon. no not pretty sure, for sure. Because what else would it be in Sunnydale? Certainly not a fluffy little kitten named boots.

So Buffy proceeded to kick the demon's ass, not that she was sure it even had one, but noetheless, she kicked something. The demon had put up a good fight, and was really quick, whick probably explains why it got away. The fact that the only thing she had on was a towel could have contributed to that too.

She went upstairs, with her towel in shreds, to shower(she had lost the mood for a bubble bath the second she heard the commotion downstairs)and get some clothes on.

As soon as she hit the first step, she felt it. The feeling that something just wasnt right. She wasnt sure what, but something was wrong, something bad had happened while she was upstairs. She realized what it was the second she stepped throught the living room door. Xander was gone.
