Death Sealed IX
Summary: The next of Xander's torturer's is hunted.
Beneath the moon
Blood flows like
a demented god's boon
Vengeance is come
Celebrate evil's ruin
Mike Thomas glanced around him furtively. He was terrified and running for his
life. In the last few days two of his friends had gone missing, and were
probably dead. This evening, as he was leaving his job at the electric company,
he found a note under the windshield wiper of his car. He shuddered as he
remembered what it said and moved faster.
\Flashback//
Mike scowled when he saw the plain white paper on his car. With a sense of
irritation he yanked it from under the windshield wiper. He started to throw it
away, but a strange compulsion filled him and he turned it over and read the
words with growing fear and horror.
Michael Thomas:
You have been found guilty of rape and have been found responsible for the death
of our friend, Xander Harris. For your crimes against both him and his mother
you will suffer. You thought our friends' prey. Now you will be the prey. Run if
you dare, but know we will find you and you will die at our hands. Just as your
friends Anthony Harris and Jack Harlow did. With pain and shame.
It was signed simply Vengeance. Mike had jumped into his car and driven home.
Taking only enough time to snarl at his lousy excuse for a lover and pack up a
few things. He was getting out of town as soon as possible. With any luck the
people after him would take out their frustrations on Trevor and not bother to
look for him.
Only those plans hadn't come to fruition. As he left his house he realized that
his tires had been slashed and so he had taken Trevor's car. By then it was dark
and he was sweating fearfully.
Before he had gone a hundred yards a surge of energy bolted through the car and
it stuttered to a stop. He had seen two women standing in the road and watched
in horror as they joined hands and threw a hugel ofl of power at the car. In
terror he had jumped out and run. Their laughter had followed him into the
night.
As he ran he became aware of the sounds of pursuit. It sounded like he was being
hunted by a pack of wild animals. Eerie laughter and snarls had echoed in the
night and Mike knew he was being herded away from any source of help that might
come to him.
He heard a long, mournful howl rip through the air and whimperd in fear as he
felt primal terror. Unable to run any further, he fell to his knees and looked
around him. He was in the middle of a field. Shapes made their way from the
surrounding trees and headed straight for him. He was shocked to see that his
tormentors were all kids. As they got closer he could see that they all carried
weapons. Bats, swords, and knives were all clutched in their hands. One girl led
a large dog, but Mike was terrified to see human intelligence in its eyes. As
well as pure hatred.
The girl's face shifted and he whimpered as he looked into amber eyes. "Well,
looks like Ozzy led us to some fun."
Mike shrieked in pain as they began to rain blows upon him, and yards away a
group of fledges ran for their lives. Everyone in the demon community had heard
about what had happened to the Slayer's mortal friend and they were all
terrified that, once the humans were dead, they would turn to the demon world
with their terrifying vengeance.
Faith laughed and let her demon to the fore as she became her own weapon,
raining blows and death on the man who had hurt her friend.
They all stopped the beating when the man lost consciousness. Kyle looked over
at the pack then to his lover, Larry. "Let's finish it and leave him for the
carrion eaters," Larry said. Faith nodded and released Oz. With a howl of
triumph, the werewolf surged forward and, with a snap of inhuman teeth, he
severed the man's spine, then turned and ripped out his throat.
As one, the hunters turned and left the body where it lay crumpled. No one
looked back or cared to. In their minds and hearts justice had been done. None
of them noticed the silent figure of death seize the shade that had once been
Mike Thomas and pull him from his body. Nor did they hear the gods' laugh over
what fate lay in store for the spirit. Hades had another soul for punishment.
____________________________________________________________________
Xander sat in his apartment with his lover at his side. He had buried his father
today. There had been no pomp and barely any ceremony. They had laid him to
rest, then had left him there without a backward glance.
His mother was settled into the guest room at Willow's apartment and the house
was on the market. Neither of them ever wanted to return to that horrid place.
They had taken all that they wanted and either sold or given away what was left.
They had learned from their father's lawyer that he had saved everything he had
ever taken from either of them. The inheritance left by Xander's grandfather to
the two of them was intact and all of it was now theirs. Xander had already
decided that he was giving up the apartment. It had too many windows and not
enough room for his lover or his mother. Giles had found a house not far from
Buffy and Willow, and Xander had purchased it. They would be moving in in a
week.
For now, he was curled up against his lover and was safe. Xander didn't think
about the three men still left alive or the fact that his friends were hunting
one of them as he and Spike sat there. He couldn't, it hurt too badly and
reminded him of what he had been through.
Instead, he thought of the life ahead of him and the love he had found in his
friends and in Spike. He thought about the fact that he could now rest, knowing
that his mother would never be hurt by his father again. That thought alone got
him through and gave him peace.

Black as night
Cold as hate
He is death
He is the blight
Tonight he meets light
Tonight he dies
Tonight Vengeance prevails
Craig Beman looked at the grave markers in front of him and felt cold rage fill
him. Everything he had worked for was falling apart. Three of his compatriots
were either dead or missing and their families beyond his touch.
Jake and Mike's families really held no interest to the Dark Warlock. In truth
they were just a passing thought. His mind was on Tony Harris' family. The wife
and son had acted as a power source for him for several years now.
Craig had known the minute he met the family that the young boy and his mother
were a perfect power source for him. They were both so innocent and pure.
Anthony had once been a good man, but as they say power corrupts and Anthony was
a perfect example of that.
Craig had placed many spells on the man's family over the years. Unlike his
foolish friends, Craig knew what existed in the darkness onnydnnydale. He also
knew that the boy had been fighting the darkness over the years.
Unknown to Xander, he had been helping Craig along for several years. The boy
and his friends had eliminated many of Craig's less than satisfied customers.
The Mayor, the Master and countless other demons.
Through it all he had used blood, pain and sex to bind Anthony and the rest of
their little circle to him. The fools had never realized that the dark desires
that they gave into were feeding him and his power.
In the last few years Craig had seen most of his plans backfire or fall apart.
He wasn't sure how or why Xander was thwarting him or even if he knew that he
was doing it. All Craig knew was that the boy had thwarted him. He had even
broken the spell that Craig had placed on the little Wizard. Andrew had overcome
the compulsion that Craig had placed on him. Warren had been killed,
unfortunately. The boy was improving in his schemes. The First had had great
plans for the boy.
Somehow Xander had overcome the spell he had placed on the White Witch in their
group. She should have finished raising the temple, but the boy had overridden
the panic and pain that he had infected the girl with.
His employer had been very disappointed with the ome ome and Craig was glad that
Xander and his friends had managed to defeat the First. Craig really hated to
think what the founder of evil would have done to him in the long run.
With a sigh Craig turned away from the graves and walked into the rapidly
falling twilight. As he walked from the cemetery, three men appeared in front of
him, and three women behind him. Craig raised an eyebrow as he realized who they
were.
"We've come for you, Sorcerer," Tara said coldly.
She was the one who had cas t the last spell to seek out the latest of the men
who had harmed her friend. What she had been shown stunned and enraged her. How
the Scoobies had managed to miss this man's part in all of their troubles over
the years Tara did not know, but she was going to be a part of his destruction.
Craig sneered at the little witch. Even surrounded, he was not afraid. He knew
very well that he was strong enough to out match any of them, or so he thought.
In seconds, spells and hex's began to fly. Screams of pain and rage tore through
the air and shouts of triumph and loss echoed in the night.
As the last spell tumbled around them, power hung heavy in the air. Wes and
Andrew sat on the ground slightly dazed. Giles was holding Dru and trying to
shake off the effects of a debilitating hex.
All four turned their attention to the last two standing. Willow turned to her
lover and smiled. Raising Tara's hand up to her mouth she kissed it gently then
turned he r attention back to the dark wizard. Craig Beman lay in a bloody heap.
The last spell that Tara had thrown had cursed him with all of the evil that he
had ever inflicted.
There was no way to identify the twisted and vile creature that lay in front of
them as human. Tara took a deep breath and looked down at her family and smiled.
Shifting her hold on Willow, she used the lasther her magical reserves to shift
them away from the scene of their battle.
______________________________________________________________________________
When they reappeared in Xander's living room, Tara collapsed onto the floor
beside Willow. She groaned slightly as she felt herself lifted and looked up
into worried brown eyes. She smiled gently and burrowed into his arms. "It's
okay, Xander, we're just tired. A little rest and we'll be fine," she said
wearily.
Xander smiled at her and watched the magic users all fall into a healing sleep.
He knew from his connection to Willow that they had won. He knew that there was
only one left. He had no idea who, or how the man would meet his end but Xander
did know that, with his family, he was safe.
