Part 1
The man sighed as he read the old, worn piece of paper. The message was only one word but it was enough to cause the man to pale.
The message said simply “Now.”
He was one of the few who knew that it meant the prophecy of the Two was about to begin. With this in mind, the man quickly grabbed his hat and walked out the door, a piece of paper fluttering to the ground in his wake said the name of his destination - Sunnydale.
In the immediate headquarters of the Scooby Gang since the magic box was undergoing repairs, otherwise known as Rupert Giles’ house two figures sat alone. Each one an outsider, amongst the group sitting around the table making plans for the forthcoming battle.
Xander looked at the two people who were supposed to be his best friends and asked himself just why he allowed himself to be treated like little more than dirt but even as he asked, he knew the answer. It was because they were his friends and he couldn’t desert them when they might need his help, besides he had to help fight the darkness even if it meant his death.
Spike looked at the far away gaze in Xander’s eyes and wondered why he was bothered by the fact that the man was being ignored by his supposed best friends. He was the Big Bad and he was getting all protective and concerned about a mortal and the Slayer’s friend at that. He had come to like Xander, not that he would admit it even if someone poured holy water over his body!
Before anyone could, notice that the two were distracted there was a loud knocking on the door. It sounded like whoever was knocking was likely to kick the door done if they didn’t answer soon. Realising this, Giles moved to open the door adjusting his glasses.
The door opened to reveal a man dressed in black leather pants and a blood red shirt. The man appeared to be around 25 with a muscular build and blue eyes that had seen too much. Not waiting to be asked in the stranger walked into the living room and looked at the group of people talking quietly. Giles closed the door and looked at the man, waiting to see if the man had some reason for coming to them.
The man said his voice similar to that of a teacher, “My name is Blade Artis, and I’m here to speak to you about a prophecy that is about to begin. The only reason why I’m here is to make sure that everything goes according to plan.”
Once Blade was sure he had the attention of everyone, he sat down and started his explanation. He knew that it was a little hard to believe but it was the truth.
Watching everyone absorb the information Blade said, “I work for of the Powers That Be. When I was 14 I was made a priest of the Oracles and now I work as one of the guides for the forces of good. A prophecy called the Prophecy of the Two is about to start. The reason why we haven’t interfered is that it is forbidden. We cannot interfere with the path once it has been started but I can say that the Prophecy will start in one night. The prophecy states that either a great evil will be born or a great good.”
“Thanks for telling us but might I ask why you left it so late.” Giles said wondering about the man’s intentions.
“I haven’t left it late. I only found out myself four hours ago. Now I will take my leave of you.” Blade said before disappearing in a flash of blue sparks.
The only reaction to his disappearance by the Scooby Gang was Xander raising an eyebrow before looking for a way to escape. He knew that a prophecy was going to happen soon but he needed to get away before he went insane. He could feel the urge to escape in his soul. His mind cried that it was dangerous to be with the others. Not one to ignore his instincts Xander stood.
“I’m leaving now guys. I’ve got an early start at work and it’s after 2 am.” Xander said as he opened the front door.
The others didn’t even notice his leaving. The only one who looked up was Spike. It was clear that Spike knew he was lying from the look in his eyes but Xander wasn’t bothered. After all what could fangless, do to destroy his life even more?
Xander quickly wandered down the streets towards his home. He could feel someone was watching him but after looking discreetly, he couldn’t see anything. He doubled his pace and checked to make sure he had a stake. Turning the corner Xander found himself face to face with Angel - just what he needed, the perfect end to a terrible day.
“What do you want Angel? Let me guess some horrible demon is going after Buffy?” Xander said, not disguising his hatred for Angel.
Looking up Xander realised that Angel was looking at him different. He looked almost hungry, with a start he realised that it was Angelus he was looking at. His suspicions were confirmed as he watched the vampire smirk at him.
“Angelus. How did you get rid of that soul?” Xander said, at the same time wondering if Angelus would hate him for sending him to Hell.
Angelus didn’t reply instead he took Xander’s hand in his, moving the pair towards Xander’s basement. Feeling Angelus behind him, waiting impatiently Xander opened the door and walked inside. He soon found himself looking into Angelus’ beautiful true face. He loved Angelus and was willing to spend as much time with him as possible, even if Angel would soon return.
“Bed. Now.” Angelus growled as he ripped Xander’s clothes from his body as Xander copied the act on him.
Xander soon found himself lying on the bed, unable to think as Angelus entered him, al the time taunting him with his hands and lips. As his world exploded in a haze of colour Xander faintly felt Angelus biting into his neck as he came inside Xander.
Angelus said as he stroked the mortal’s skin, “It’s good to be home, Alex. Soul-boy is gone for good. I just woke up a couple of hours ago and found out that I was free.”
“I guess you know that I’m the one who sent you to Hell.” Xander said, tears flowing from his eyes as he accepted that he would probably lose Angelus forever.
As he considered his plans Angelus said, “I know but it was to be expected, after all you are loyal to a fault but that’ll soon change. By tomorrow night you’ll be loyal only to me and we’ll be together forever.”
Angelus had intended to turn Xander the night before he had freed Acathla but the Slayer had interfered with his plan. He could see that his Alex would make a wonderful vampire; the young man had a dark side that he had seen in few vampires due to the brutal treatment by almost everyone. Xander hadn’t been involved with the demon Anya. Anya had agreed to pose as his girlfriend as a favour to the boy she loved even though he didn’t love her back. Angelus knew that the only one Xander loved was he, until a year ago; the Scoobies would have come between them but no longer.
Xander soon fell asleep using Angelus as his pillow, holding Angelus’ hand tightly as if afraid that he would wake up to find himself alone. The sound of Xander’s heart beat soon soothed Angelus to asleep. The pair slept with their bodies entwined so that it was hard to see where one ended and the other began.
The next morning Xander awoke to find himself being held tightly by Angelus and wasn’t surprised to hear the vampire growl as he tried to move. Deciding that work wasn’t all that important Xander quickly gave up his efforts to move and turned his mind to more pleasant thoughts. Xander’s mind drifted as he wondered just how much he could do to his lover before the other would wake up.
Xander quickly turned in Angelus’ arms, taking small bites of the vampires’ neck. He knew how much it excited his mate and wondered just how long it would before Angelus moved. Grinning wickedly, Xander slowly moved his mouth down to Angelus’ chest, sucking on the cool nipples. He ran his fingers down the vampires’ cool back, drawing blood, exciting the vampire even more.
“Angelus, love, why don’t you join in the fun? It’s a lot more fun with someone else.” Xander asked before arching off the bed as Angelus gripped his hard cock in his hands.
