章 7: Chapter 7
There was a babble of voices as they walked in, that slowly faded as Buffy just stood there, nothing but her eyes showing her fury. Willow came walking down the stairs, "Good Buffy found you, we don't want you to get hurt Xander." But instead of true caring there was a strange possessiveness that Zatanna did not like.
"Xander go get your stuff, I will deal with them." Zatanna requested standing there calmly, looking at the power the witch radiated.
"Who are you? Some hooker Xander was desperate enough to pick up? Really Xander and here I thought Faith and Anya were bad, now you are sinking to paying for sex. Don't you know someone would have serviced you if you just asked." Came that voice so sure of what she needed and that Xander was hers.
Xander flinched and her jaws muscles locked tight, but he walked past her saying nothing, unable to even more the friend he once knew.
Willow looked around and saw Buffy. "Buffy, why did you allow that whore to come with him?" She frowned when Buffy did not answer. "Buffy?"
"She can't move at the moment." Zatanna answered her spells at the ready but wanting to wait and see.
"Magic? Xander will never learn, he just shouldn't mess with magic, I am the magic one." She lifted up her hand and began to speak, but Zatanna was quicker.
"Dnib reh ydob, Dnib reh htuom." Instantly Willow's hands were bound to her side and her mouth was silenced. The various slayers in the room instantly turned to attack her. "Lla sreylas eb dnuob." Every slayer in the room was instantly bound, their forms falling to the ground as they over balanced.
"Willow I have offered Xander a job, he has accepted mainly because he could not be here any more. I pray you someday realize what you have lost."
Xander came down the stair, a backpack over his shoulder. He stopped looking around at the frozen slayers and witch. "Umm… you didn't hurt them did you?" Unable to stop caring, especially for the young slayers being corrupted.
Zatanna smiled at caring, it was a good sign. "No, they are just bound; the spell will end a few minutes after we leave. I have one question for you though; do you want her able to find you? It would take her a while, but she is powerful enough to do it, or I can block your existence from her."
Xander stood there for a long time looking at Willow, his best friend. "I shared my crayon with you, now you treat me like a possession. I don't know what happened to my Willow friend, the one I loved, the one who loved me. But I don't see her any more. Can you.. if she changes she can find me?" He asked turning a dark eye on Zatanna.
Zatanna thought for a moment. "Yes I can do that." She took a breath and focused "Rednax uoy yam ton dnif litnu ruoy traeh dna lous era ecno erom dnik."
Rage filled Willows eyes, but she still could not move or speak. Zatanna turned "Are you sure, I did not really get a chance to tell you anything."
Xander shrugged, "It is not here, and I get a chance to help. Right now that is good enough for me."
"Let's go." Zatanna turned and walked out of the house, Xander following her and shutting the door behind him.
"So where are we going?"
"Right now just down the street, so I can take us back to my home, then to meet the people really employing you, you get a salary and everything." Zatanna asked, looking at the young man.
"Hey sounds good to me." A sad smile on his face as he followed her.
"By the way… your name? They called you Xander?" Curious, still not quite sure why he was the Defender of Mankind.
"Oh.. sorry.. Alexander Harris at your service milady." Dipping a half bow in jest.
Zatanna stopped startled "Your name, Alexander.. it means Defender of Mankind."
"Yeah.. funny huh? And all I have ever done is be a beat boy for others." Xander replied rolling his eye. "My parents really misnamed me."
"I would not be so sure of that." She looked around. "This is quiet enough. You ready?"
"As I will ever be." Xander swallowed and held onto his backpack tightly.
"Ekat Rednax dna I kcab ot ym emoh." Came her voice crisp and clear, and suddenly Xander was being pulled, cold wet sticky things like cobwebs hitting him over and over in the face, suddenly a burst of hard metallic light went through him and he screamed in pain.
