“You’re a Halliwell, Sweet-ling. Born of a powerful and great magical line! Even from a distance I could feel your power running over my skin . . . You can be so great, known and respected by all. A male Halliwell comes around as rarely as the Charmed One’s themselves! The Elders tossed you away but I know my master would gladly embrace you.” Claire purred, she seamed to be lost in fantasies.

“A Halliwell? What do you mean the ‘Elders’ tossed me away?” Xander clutched his bag to him, his knuckle’s white. He was so confused. The woman tried to reach out for Xander as if to hug him, but he scuttled back out of reach of her touch.

Her face morphed into a look of sadness, a look that had to have been practiced in the mirror many times. “I won’t hurt you Phoenix . . . You’re special my fiery one . . . come with me and be treated like the prince that you are.”

Xander shivered as her dark melodious voice rolled over him. He knew, could feel the magic she was trying to use on his mind. Could feel it like a handful of wiggling worms on his skin, trying to get into his brain, his soul. Xander sighed. Maybe with her words and sweet promises Xander would have gone with her . . . he needed help . . . but she was trying to control him, force him.

Xander growled and with barely a thought used the powers he obtained to toss her away from him. She landed hard against a building across the street. The moment she hit her clothes changed. The lovely dress turned into black pants, a tattered bloody shirt, and knives . . . many, many, knives. The serene look she had been wearing since he met her was replaced with pure madness and hate. Her lip was curled back and half her pretty pale face was covered in black scales. She opened her mouth and hissed, a long black forked tongue slithered out. “Shouldn’t have done that my sweet. Being thrown around makes me angry. No one likes me when I’m angry!!”

She didn’t give any warning when she pounced.

“Since your great ancestor cursed your family only to have girls, a boy would be . . . dangerous. Especially one born on the double witches moon. This baby was bringing Victor and Patty back together, which wasn’t a bad thing, they were happy . . . From what I was told were going to get remarried too. The Elders took the infant the moment he was born, froze him in time so he would not affect anything, and erase all your memories of him. It was a vision and a vague prophecy that led the Elders to take the chances they did, to take your brother from you.” Leo said all that softly, as if he thought a softer tone would make such a blow less hurtful.

“How could they do that!” Said Phoebe tearfully as she sat bonelessly in a chair.

“WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?” Piper was turning red and things started blowing up. Her eyes crackling with a rage filled fire only a mother could understand.

“Piper calm down . . . not all the Elder’s knew about this. Only Elder Cozway, Elder Lucy, and Elder Gideon even knew about this!”

“LEO! I can’t believe my EARS! Are you defending THEM!!!?” The window behind Leo blew up as Piper glared at him.

“Of course not, Piper!” Leo said calmly as he wrapped his arms around his stiff and angry wife.

Paige looked at Leo with hard eyes. “What’s his name?”

The sisters looked at Leo who shrugged. “The elders don’t know his current name . . . but they do know what your parents called him.”

“What?” Piper asked with a wobble in her voice.

“Patty named him Phoenix, Phoenix Alexander Victor Halliwell. He brought Victor and Patty’s marriage out of the ashes like a phoenix reborn.”

“So the Elder’s are responsible for our parents breaking up!” Phoebe scowled.

“Yes.” Said Leo. “But because of them . . . you have Paige.”

The Charmed ones looked at each other with wistful sad eyes then Piper spoke. “Lets get ready to go. We need to get to Sunnydale.”

Xander panted as he stumbled into his apartment. He was bloody, injured, and in a stated of shock. ~She just blew up! I-I blew her up!!! OH MY GOD! A-all that blood!~

Wiping some of the sticky dark red blood off his cheek Xander let out a shuddering breath. He looked in the mirror and tried to find something different about himself. He had killed a human . . . mostly human warlock. Shouldn’t he look more sinister?

Stumbling away from the mirror and to his bathroom Xander limped over to the tub. He had a bite mark on his shoulder and a bloody gash on his leg, he needed to get them cleaned. The one on his leg was cursed, the wound was blackened and felt like it was getting deeper with each minute. Xander knew the bite mark wasn’t normal either. It hurt and felt really warm. Blood and a shinny clear liquid leaked from the two puncture marks. Poison most likely.

Fumbling with the first-aid kit Xander pressed a bandage to his wounds. He let it sponge up the blood. Xander looked at his hands. They were all spotted with dark cheery red blood, just like a paint splatter. Xander paled then turned green as he thought about the splatter. Jumping into the tub Xander turned on the shower, he needed it all off! Dark pink swirled into the drain and Xander tried to not think about how that blood got on his skin. But no matter how much you try to block something out the more in pops up.

Xander yelped as he stumbled backwards his arms pin-wheeling as he dodged. Tossing his backpack Xander tried using that force magic on the woman, but it wasn’t responding right. It was less powerful, just nudging her away. He couldn’t focus, was more afraid of what he could do then angry. “Leave me alone.*Pant* I don’t want to fight.”

Claire snorted then gave a mad laugh. “Poor baby. Don’t want to fight? Too bad!!! You’re a Halliwell!!!! You have no choice, Sweet-ling!!!” With that said her hand glowed a bright sickly green then a bolt of pure darkness shot at Xander. He hissed as it sliced deeply into his thigh. Waving his hand again Xander pushed her back and this time she smacked into another wall. Xander focused on an old tire left at the dump bin, it floated in the air and shot off toward Claire. It hit her in the head. When she fell and didn’t get up Xander relaxed an sighed.

Xander was going to run for it but when he looked for his bag he realized it was right next to the warlock. Creeping toward her Xander slowly reached for his backpack. He had just curled his fingers around the closest strap when a strong hand snatched his ankle and forced him to the ground. She was on him before he could blink. Clawing at him, hissing, and finally bitting him hard in the meat of his shoulder.

Screaming Xander grabbed Claire by her long hair and pulled with all his might. With one pain filled tug Xander used his ability to toss her away, she flew into the air like a rocket, and without thought Xander’s hands caught a flame. Two huge fire balls were sucked into her, a second later she blew up . . .Blew up and rained on Xander.

Xander blinked as chunky drops slithered down his face. He started hyperventilating after that. Sitting on the road Xander shuddered at all the red around him. “What did I just do?” He whimpered.

* * * *

Sitting on his bed with his arms wrapped tightly around his stomach Xander stared at his phone. When he felt really crappy, like right now, he would call Willow. . . Or Jesse when he was alive . . . Or Even Giles and Buffy, but they were all still wary of him. Still can’t remember him too well. Rolling over on his bed Xander hugged his pillow, there was no one he could talk too. Or wanted to for that matter.

He was on his own. Whatever was happening he had to deal himself.

Willow entered the store with a hesitant step, a worried poudy look on her face. “H-hi gang. How are y-you all?”

Buffy gave the witch a small smile. “Hey, Willow! Good to see you.” Buffy said gently as she walked up and hugged her friend.

“I-Is Xander here?” Willow asked almost fearfully.

Buffy frowned. “No.”

Giles wiped his glasses with a white cloth. “I’m afraid we haven’t been able to see eye to eye with him too well. The boy is a bit difficult to handle.”

Buffy nodded. “Yeah! I mean my memory of him is so . . .so fuzzy! It’s weird I KNOW him and then I don’t. It’s wonky Willow.”

Willow didn’t like the sound of that. Especially when she was suffering the same thing. They needed to do research and study Xander. “We should get Xander. I should really see him. Help him if I can.” She said softly.

Buffy snorted. “I’m not going! He threw me into a wall! Make Spike go!”

“Oi! If ya want the whelp get ‘im yourselves!!! I’m not no delivery boy!! That’s Har-er * A confused look pass’ over Spike’s face for a moment* . . .someone else’s job!! Someone who LIKE’S all of ya!!” Spike snarled from his corner.

“Oh be quiet! You’re not going to get any money out of us if you don’t do as we say! Plus you’ve been useless since you got a soul!” Buffy said as she pulled out Mr.Pointy.

Spike frowned. He couldn’t really remember why he got a soul for the slayer. And he could hear what was unsaid in her tone of voice, Spike was useless compared to Angel.

“One more thing . . .”

The sisters turned to Leo with identical glares. “What ‘one more thing’?” Asked Piper as she tapped her foot.

“He’s on the active hellmouth.”

The Charmed One’s gasped. “H-hellmouth!!!”

Leo nodded. “When the Elders froze Phoenix they thought they had placed him somewhere safe, but evil found him. He had been missing all these years, the Elders believe the hellmouth concealed him all this time. They think the Source was responsible.”

Piper closed her eyes, so much to worry about. “Just get us to Sunnydale, Leo. We’ll deal with it all when it comes.”

Leo nodded as he held his hands out to the sisters. “I can take you to the border, whitelighters can’t go to the hellmouth, it drives us insane. This place might effect Paige as well . . . But I think her half witch status will help. The hellmouth should only be a buzzing in her mind. But maybe Paige should stay away from it?”

Paige frowned. “I’m going. Phoenix is my brother too. I think all three of us should be there for him. He needs us.”

With that said they orbed out of the house, babies and all.

************

Juggling to hold both infants Leo sighed as he watched the sisters leave down the road and passed the old ‘Welcome to Sunnydale’ sign. They had fire in their eyes and power was crackling about them. Smiling at his sons Leo bounced them a bit. “Mommy and her sisters are going to make a lot of things dead . . . We better get the first aid kit ready.”

Chris gurgled and little Wyatt blinked.

Phoebe twirled and kicked high forcing the charging vampire to dodge. The fledge fell to the ground, landing on top of it Phoebe staked it with the branch she found on the ground. Stabbing it in the heart Phoebe waved the dust out of her face.

“Rock!!”Yelled Paige as she orbed a rock sailing at her back to the demon that had threw it.

“Tombstone!!” Flinging it at the large green beast the stone crushed its skull, red brain and bits of green skin flying around. Paige wrinkled her nose at the mess then she joined Phoebe for some vampire beat-down.

Frowning Piper blasted another vampire away. They just kept coming! “At this rate we’ll never find our brother.” They had already been attacked twice since they got into town.

Finally having enough Piper froze all the demons in the cemetery and with an angry blast blew them all up. Paige and Phoebe blinked at her. They were covered in dust and demon goo from head to toe. Wiping her face off Phoebe groaned. “My hair!! Piper, couldn’t you have waited till me and Paige were clear of spewing range?”

Piper bit her lip. “Sorry.”

Xan’s place
*****************

Stopping in front of the door Spike raised his hand to knock but then stopped himself before his knuckles could hit the wood. Xander was a freaky strong guy now. All that power, all that anger, and the fire! Spike was the Big Bad but Xander was pretty bad himself. Every time fire would spring from his hand Spike had to resist the urge to dodge behind something.

Not only did Xander make Spike feel wary but he also made Spike’s fangs itch. His mouth would water. A hunger unlike any he had ever felt before would curl in his belly, he could smell the hot powerful blood in Xander just begging to be tasted. Stronger then slayers blood, that made the boy an even bigger magnet for demons then before.

Lifting his hand to knock again Spike tapped on the door lightly, barely loud enough for a human to hear. No answer. No ones home!

Turning to leave Spike got to the stairs when he heard a sound. Sobbing. Soft muffled cries coming from Xander’s apartment. Cursing his brand new shinny soul Spike went back to the door and knocked harder. “Yo pet, you in there? Talk to me pet?!”

A hiccup sounded. “Go away.”

Spike leaned against the door. “Can’t pet. The birds and the Watcher want to see you.”

The door opened and a red faced red eyed Xander came into view. “Tell them to f-fuck off will you Spike.”

Spike raised a brow. “Love to Pet. But her Buff-ness has kicked me out without me blood till you go chat with um. *Looking at his nails Spike smiled* ‘Fraid of you, they are.”

An old lady across the hall opened her door a crack, she was watching them with wide curious eyes. Her hair curlers were still in her hair, pink robe falling off one shoulder.

Xander sighed. “Come in, Spike. I have nosy neighbors, shouldn’t be disusing things here.”

“Thanks, Nummy!! Not a bad place you have . . . here.” Spike said as he plopped down on the tiny coach and looked around.

“Whatever, Spike! I know it’s a dump!” And it was. It was cramped, the kitchen and couch were barely an arms length away, the book shelf was at Spike’s elbow. The roof was brown and had a couple melon sized holes in it.

“Watcher lives in a nice pad, is helping the slayer out, and couldn’t get you a decent human sized apartment?”

Xander shrugged as he wiped at his still red eyes. “I guess.”

“Look, Luv, you either go down to the shop and flap your gums with um or they come and drag you down there.” Spike said with an indifferent shrug.

“I’d like to see them try.” Xander said softly as one of his hands burst into flames close to Spike. Startled Spike flips off the seat, standing in a defensive stands with the love seat between them.

“You’d trash your new place, Nummy. Wouldn’t want that right?”

“Maybe . . .Guess we should go. Come on Soul-boy Jr.” Grabbing his jacket Xander left out the door without Spike.

Shifting his shoulder Spike followed at a slow canter.

“Spike?”

“Yeah, pet?”

“How well do you remember me? I never could ask the others.”

“Well um . . . Harris I’m still fucked up from my trip to Africa, can’t remember my own name sometimes!”

“That bad huh, Spike . . .” Was said very softly.

Spike didn’t answer, just kept walking.

“Is he ready?” Asked a dark haired man with a deep voice.

“Y-yes sir. I think he is. He is very strong. Killed Claire.”

Blue eyes blinked and the dark haired man chuckled. “Really? Claire’s dead? Pity . . . she had a talented tongue.”

“What do you want done about young Phoenix?”

“Is he still with those do-gooders that work for the Powers?” He asked as he poured himself a drink of ruby red wine.

“Yes . . .but it is different now . . . Most everyone on the side of the Powers That Be barely remember him and it’s all thanks to the red witch! He is drifting greatly.”

Narrowing his blue eyes in delight the man smirked. “Good. Bring my sweet boy home.”

The servant bowed low then shimmered away.

Pulling a picture off his mantle the man caressed the image, the picture was of a baby no more then a few days old. “Soon my pretty bird . . . You’ll be where you belong.”

********************

Picking more goo out of her hair Paige sighed. It was dark, they were dirty, and it seamed everyone in Sunnydale were mutes! None of them would talk to them or given them directions to a magic shop! In their haste they had forgot all their supplies.

Piper sighed. “Lets find a hotel. We won’t get anything done without at least a finding crystal.”

Paige and Phoebe nodded sadly.

Phoebe pulled out her phone, she was about to make a call to work when a vision hit. She staggered. ~ A building . . . on fire. Flames of blue licking the ground like a living thing . . .A tall boy with long hair standing in the inferno without care. A magic shop . . .people yelling at the boy. His eyes are sad, full of tears . . . blood. Anger. Rage . . . The boy standing in the middle of carnage, bodies all around. The boy screaming.~

Phoebe was shaken by the time her vision was over. “W-we got to find h-him . . .Now!”

“Where do we look?” Asked Paige as she and Piper ran after their sis.

“There’s a magic shop! He’ll be there! We need to find the Magic Box!!”

Giles looked up when his bell on his door rang. “Oh! I’m so sorry ladies! We’re closed.”

“We know but we need to find someone.”
