Part One
Going Beyond
Slowly life swam back into existence around Xander. His head was pounding from the baseball bat which had knocked him out at the Bronze earlier that night. Xander’s eyes were still hazy so he couldn’t look around to see where he was but he could see the vague silhouettes of people. At least, he hoped that they were people.
“Ahh, at last he has awoken. Good Morning mortal, did you sleep well? That was a nasty bump that Samantha gave you....” a tall silhouette stood forward to investigate Xander.
“Sam...sam...Samantha? Why w..would she d..do this?” Xander’s vision began to return.
“I wanted to do it Xandy.......It was my destiny....” a smaller silhouette came from the shadows.
“S..Samantha...is that you?” Xander could now see that he was in a warehouse with two vampires, one male and one female.
The male vampire, who had long white hair flowing from his head came closer to Xander. His breath smelt like rotten flesh and he was dressed in clothing that looked like it had come from the local museum. Xander held his head back in disgust, trying desperately to get away from the walking piece of gingivitis.
“Yes, my female companion is your Samantha.....and I am Dorian the Prophet! I have foreseen all of this. You are Xander the Seeker, the one who shall seek out and destroy the Slayer!” both of the vampires hissed slightly at the mentioning of Buffy.
“Oh come on.....isn’t it everyone’s destiny to kill the Slayer? I mean, there have been so many ‘destined’ Slayer slayers that have come to Sunnydale to do the job and you know what happens? The turn into piles of ugly dust, that is all. So why don’t you and your female companion leave before I get myself out of this chair, rip your faces off and laugh hysterically.” Xander hoped that he could take the two with his twisted wit.
“Hehe.....so we have a Jester in our midst.....you kill me with your quick tongue.....but I warn you....I love having fried human tongues for breakfast....” Dorian grabbed Xanders neck and pulled him forward so that he was right in the firing line of the Prophet’s killer breath.
“Oh Xander, it will be so happy once you join me in vampirism....” Samantha smiled a toothy grin at the now red faced Xander.
“You....are....gonna....ki...ll...me..?” Xander choked through short gasps for air.
“No no no, Of Course not Seeker......we are only going to make you a vampire! Now stop squirming and let destiny take its course!” with that Dorian bit hard into Xander’s neck and drank his life blood.
It was too much for Xander to handle in one night, so he passed out. Dorian finished his meal and slit his wrist for Xander to drink. That was when he noticed that Xander had fainted.
“Damn you fates! Quick we must revive him before he dies, otherwise all will be for nought!” Dorian slapped Xander hard in the face, leaving a big red patch from where his skin made contact.
Xander’s body jerked spasmodically for a few seconds before returning to stillness. Dorian felt at Xander’s neck to check the pulse. It wasn’t there.
“RAAAGGH! He is dead! The prophecy is unfulfilled.....unless......” Dorian turned back to Xander “Samantha, hold his head back and open his mouth....he has been dead for only a few seconds, maybe we can return him to undeath.....”
Samantha did as Dorian commanded and held back Xander’s lifeless head. She smiled evilly as Dorian held his bleeding wrist over Xander’s open mouth and allowed the black blood to drip in. Both waited for what seemed like an eternity before Xander’s body began to shake.
“Yes! I was right! It works...It Workssss!” Dorian rushed over to untie Xander from the chair.
“But wait Dorian....he has stilled again.....and......” Samantha looked on as Dorian examined Xander’s body.
Dorian stood up with a start and carried Xander’s body to the furnace, “He is not a vampire, the process did not work....we must burn his body lest he will return as a Revenant. All is lost....”
Sombrely Samantha lit the furnace as Dorian threw Xander’s body into the red flames. Then both stood back as Xander’s body crumbled away into dust.

Morning sunlight streamed in through the window of the warehouse. Xander awoke with a start. He was lying on the cold stone ground amoung some broken pieces of furniture. < Funny, I thought they stored good stuff in warehouses > Xander though to himself as he picked his aching body from the ground.
There was still a lump at the back of Xander’s head from where he had been hit by the vampire Samantha the night before. If only Xander hadn’t fallen for her charms, hadn’t asked her out to the Bronze. He should have stayed back with the rest of the Slayerettes while they looked for the two vampires who had been terrorising Sunnydale recently. Maybe Xander deserved finding them, for his stupidity. Next time he would trust his brain, not his hormones.
“Oh God! Look at the time!” Xander’s watch blinked up the time right before his eyes, he was twelve minutes late for school.
< I guess I should go back to my house and get a shower....after that I’ll think about whether or not I should go to school > Xander ran for the warehouse door and into the blinding sunlight of a Californian morning.
< I never remember it being this bright before > Xander began walking in the direction that he thought would be home. He was stopped on the way by four teenagers dressed in red t-shirts and blue jeans.
“What do we have here? A Mortal?” a boy with black hair and blue eyes stepped forward to look closely at Xander.
“Hey, what is a mortal doing in this part of town during the day? Don’t you know boy that this is Vamper territory?” another boy with brown hair and green eyes came forward menacingly.
“You...you’re vampires? But it is daytime...you shouldn’t be here right now....” Xander started walking backwards.
“Are you deaf mortal? Did we say Vampires? I don’t think so, we said Vampers...and you are on our turf....” the Vamper with black hair took out a nasty curved dagger from a sheath on his belt.
“N..now...lets not be hasty....I mean..I just took a wrong turn, a really wrong turn...you see I’m a professional idiot...we make lots of money these days, and I think my idiotic expertise got me into this mess and it is going to get me out of it....bye!” Xander quickly turned heel and ran for his home.
“Get him!” the black haired Vamper yelled out as he and his companions raced after the running Xander.
< Gotta get home, gotta get home, they can’t come in unless I invite them and I think I won’t be inviting them real soon. But then again, they can survive in sunlight.....oh boy......> Xander ran as fast as his constricting lungs would allow him.
“Stop guys! He’s leaving the territory!” the head Vamper stopped in his tracks, while two other Vampers continued on after Xander.
Xander too stopped when he heard the call. He had entered the good part of town and the sunlight was normal again. He turned around to face the two Vampers as the ran from him. But then a strange thing occured. As soon as the two passed out of the bright light they exploded into black dust. Xander yelled heroic taunts at the other two Vampers as he realised that they couldn’t escape from the bright light place. With that happy fact Xander turned around to head back for his house.
A few minutes later Xander was infront of his house and preparing to enter when he heard someone calling from it. The voice had a German accent and they were saying goodbye to some person called Heinrich. It was at that point that Xander saw a blonde haired boy wearing Xander’s favourite clothing run out of the house. He turned back to a grey-haired woman coming out of the house and waved goodbye to her before continuing off down the street. Something was familiar about that boy and his name. Something about him wasn’t that good. Also there was the fact that weird people were living in Xander’s house as if it was his own. Then it struck him.
“Oh my god...that guy was the Master!”
