Summary: Xander learns how hard duty is as he comes face to face with his Dark Willow Tree.
Disclaimer: I do not own anything…He was happy, Willow decided, as she stared at the man in front of her. His eyes glowed with warmth, not dull with self-loathing. He had changed; everything had changed. She sighed, her pitch-black hair coming to cover her now dark eyes.
“Hey black-eyed girl? Howya doin?”
“I could ask you the same thing,” she sneered as she lifted her head. Her eyes flashed as she caught his bright smile. His grin widened at her remark and he took a step forward.
“Oh, I’m swell. I have a luscious werewolf waiting back home for me, hopefully naked and panting. You?”
Willow took a step forward, anger slowly overcoming her senses. She raised a hand quickly, letting the dark lightning slam into Xander. He stumbled back but did not fall. He continued grinning, even as his eyes flashed with pain. Not for himself, but for his beautiful tortured girl.
“Oh I don’t know,” she sneered, “the love of my live was savagely ripped away from me by a sniveling toad. But other then that…”
Xander shrugged nonchalantly, even as his heart broke. He began to walk closer to her, even as she fired shot after shot at him. He took each hit, the sting keeping him in line. He wanted to bow down, wanted to drop to his knees and weep. It hurt so badly to see her like this; it hurt even knowing what he had to do.
“I love you,” he whispered as he stopped to stand right in front of her. Willow sneered, her eyes flashing with maniacal glee.
“Is this your plan to stop me? You’re going to tell me you love me?”
Xander shook his head calmly as he let the tears gathering in his chocolate brown eyes to fall.
“I’m so sorry, Willow…so sorry…”
“Xander, are you home?” Remus asked as the sound of footsteps echoed in the study. He headed to the door; worry settling in at the dull, heavy steps. He stopped short, his amber eyes wide with shock and fear. His mate stood in front of the fireplace, body hunched in pain. He was soaked in blood, the bright drops slowly falling to the floor. Xander turned, his face streaked crimson, his eyes lifeless.
“Xander?” Remus questioned slowly as he ran forward, his strong arms catching the boy as he dropped to his knees.
“What happened love?”
Xander slowly shook his head, never once looking at the man embracing him. His voice was quiet, filled with regret, as he spoke.
“I did what I had to…”
THE END
