When Xander awoke lying on the muddy ground, he noticed it was just after sunset and he was in the middle of a wood, trees surrounded him in every direction, but he seemed to be in a clearing. He felt none of the searing pain he had endured in the cocoon, but more like rejuvenated, he felt great just bursting with energy, he wondered if it had anything to do with the tendrils and the cocoon, it could be a reason, but he really wanted a proper explanation because he knew for a fact this wasn’t Sunnydale anymore, there had never been woods like these ones there, that is when he started to panic. No Buffy for slayage if needed, no Willow for magic, especially to track where he was and no G-man with his brain bursting full of knowledge or help from his books, Xander was alone with no one to help. He began to panic even more and then started to hyperventilate, gulping in breaths of air over and over, but with every lungful he started to realize scents were tickling his nose, scents he thought he’d never smell again after the whole hyena possession, not one of his best moments, but he remembered it all, smells of trees, plants, the earth under his feet, animals all around and their heartbeats, the blood pumping through the animals veins could be heard echoing through his own ears, he was being surrounded in scents and sounds, the sensations drowning him, confusing him and he started panicking again, trying to block out the other sounds and focusing on his own, his heavy breathing and his heart beating.
While Grabbing at his chest to feel the beating of his heart to relax him, he noticed his hands, electric sparks dancing over his fingertips, glowing faintly and brightening up the surrounding darkness, it was very eerie. He thought for a second that he was hallucinating, he had finally cracked and if anyone found him he would be carted off to the nearest loony bin, but finally he focused on the shooting sparks, concentrating on the dancing sparks jumping between his fingers, he focused so much he felt like he was going cross-eyed, however after a while they seemed to grow, getting bigger inches at a time. That amount of electricity started to make the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, he didn’t know how he did it, but he was then able to draw the sparks back into his hands making them dissipate almost into thin air and without realising it he had stopped hyperventilating, he was now quite calm. Xander was starting to realise this was the weirdest day of his life and *he* had grown up on the Hellmouth, it was even weirder then the time the Scooby’s had to fight the ‘drugged up Umpa Lumpa demons’, as he had liked to call them, well, actually, maybe not that weird, at least *he* wasn’t singing the Umpa Lumpa song. He just couldn’t take all the this new stuff in, it was too much to process so Xander just curled up into a tiny ball and rocked himself to sleep in an unknown wood and away from his friends, the only family that cared.
When Xander woke up again it seemed to be midday, which he could tell by the positioning of the sun, (and how did he know that), he was a little less stressed then the night before because he had finally realised that he was a Scooby, he had fought demons since he was 15 years old, this was nothing and he could handle it like he handled everything else, head on and with a round of jokes by his side. He carried on thinking about what this meant for a while, being in a strange place and away from the people he knew, that was until his stomach grumbled, god what could he eat around here? he felt his senses pick up as if answering his question, he could smell something and he knew, just knew it was a rabbit, growling low in his throat, which he realised was another new addition, he stalked after his prey sniffing lightly as he went, he had a rabbit to catch.
He found the rabbit near a cluster of berry bushes by a small stream. Carefully he prowled forwards, he hadn’t noticed how quiet on his feet he was until then, he could hear the rabbits heartbeat, but he didn’t hear the snap of any branches and for autumn even the crunchy leaves under his feet weren’t making a noise, added to that his quiet breathing you wouldn’t even notice him and the rabbit certainly didn’t. When he was near enough to the rabbit that’s when he pounced, however they were near enough to the stream that they tumbled in as Xander snapped the rabbit’s neck.
Standing in the stream Xander shook off the water covering himself and the rabbit, looking down at the limp rabbit in his hands, he noticed his reflection and stared in shock at himself. His hair had grown out down to the middle of his back, it was faintly curly from the water and looked slightly wild, almost like a mixture between a lion’s and a horse’s main and the colour shone, but not from the midday sun, but from an unknown source, it looked like his hair was flecked with little specks of gold. Leaning closer to the water he looked at his face, his canines had lengthened, they looked like they could tear into thick muscle and his eyes, wow, the sparks that he could produce from his hands were faintly flickering in his brown eyes making them shimmer and shine in an peculiar way. Another amazing thing was he had filled out, yeah, so the construction work helped build some muscle mass, but now he was defined, not body builder big, but he did look like he worked out, nice. Again he couldn’t really process the changes, besides he had a rabbit ready to eat under his arm and he was starving.
Back at Xander’s ‘campsite’, the clearing he had woken up in, Xander was eating the rabbit, he had collected wood for a fire and after rubbing two sticks together for what seemed like years decided not to bother with it, so instead he thought he’d try his little electrical fingers routine to try and light the wood, he concentrated on the feeling he got from having the sparks there before and then they appeared, so he could control them slightly now, but then it was time for the hard part, pointing a finger towards the wood he concentrated on focusing the spark on the pile of wood for his fire and :SNAP: a huge spark shot out from his finger to the wood and a fire had started, Xander, (in a very manly way), jumped up and down and danced around as he congratulated himself on a job well done. Cooking the rabbit was a bit harder, especially with the fur still covering it, but eventually he had realised that his nails didn’t need a cut, but had turned into claws not huge, but big enough, although like a cat they did retract slightly, so they weren’t that dangerous. After finishing his rabbit, Xander decided just to sleep thinking was giving him too much of a headache, there was lots going on that he really didn’t understand.
Xander was stalking around for food the next morning when he smelt something new coming into what he now called *his* wood, this animal? smelt of earth, something wild and a hint of metal, it was a weird combination, maybe a wild animal with a tracker, although it seemed like too much metal for that, Xander became extremely wary so he carried on further into the wood. After a couple of hours of back tracking and sneaking through the woods Xander had lost the smell of the animal and was now at the stream, it was then that he recognized another smell, after nearly two days of being in the wood he stunk, so stripping off his clothes, he got into the cool stream, heated from the midday sun and proceeded to wash himself, so intent on not smelling he didn’t notice the animal or actually human that had been stalking him, find him.
‘Ookay, put some clothes on, then come over here kid, I’ll make sure you get your ass out of here safely.’ Xander spun round surprised at the gruff voice calling him, then realising he was naked he quickly in a blink of an eye covered himself.
Glaring daggers at the man in front of him Xander shouted out ‘Who the *HELL*, do *you* think you are?’ with jerky movements he tried to get his clothes on without flashing, the big, well muscled, (more then he had), quite hairy man behind him.
In the same gruff voice with an almost annoyed tone the man replied ‘Names Logan, kid. Now get your ass over here. I ain’t got all day.’ Then Logan proceeded to cross his arms and wait, with Xander muttering curses under his breath the whole time.
