Buffy The Vampire Slayer Fan Fiction / Supernatural Fan Fiction ❯ Vampire Hunter ❯ Chapter 6

Disclaimer: I do not own them.

So far it looks like the poll is going to Xander turning Dean to save him and Sam/Dawn at some point.

 

Chapter 6

 

Dawn watched as Xander danced with a giggling co-ed. He seemed to be having fun but she could tell his heart wasn't in it. Too be honest neither was hers anymore. Things just hadn't been the same since they'd left Stanford. They'd been in Raleigh for nearly a year now and it still felt...fake, like they didn't belong. She would be twenty in three days and was starting to catch up in age physically to Xander. Soon enough she'd be able to pass as his older sister. She still felt Jess' loss as if it had happened only days ago and not ten months before. Something about the fire and then Sam vanishing the way he had...well it set off her Hellmouth senses. She knew she wasn't the only one put off by what had happened but Xander had clammed up a lot since Angel's death and then Jess'. But the big shock had been seeing the warrant for Dean Winchester's arrest for torture and murder. She didn't believe it for a second, something was going on with the brothers and she wanted to know what.

 

--------------------------------------

Dawn frowned as she stared down at the information she'd gathered. It was weird, weirder than the stuff she'd found about her and Xander on a demon website. It was sort of freaky how closely they were tracked but they were the sole remaining Scoobies. Going on a hunch she logged onto the demon sites and typed Winchester into the search area. Her jaw dropped at what appeared on the page.

 

“Xander!” She yelled and then jumped as her brother appeared with vampire speed. Wordlessly she pointed to the screen and let him read. When he got to the bit on Dean Winchester he went paler than she'd seen a vampire go.

“Xan?”

 

“Remember the hunter Dean from before Stanford? Just found out his last name.” Xander whispered and Dawn's eyes widened in shock.

 

“Oh. So I'm really starting to think Jess' death was not an accident.” Dawn pointed at the pertinent section.

 

“They've got a demon after them. I can't see a name though.” Xander frowned as he read. Dawn got back to searching, Xander reading over her shoulder.

 

“I can't find anything definitive. Whoever this is seems to have most of the underground nervous.”

 

“So a major player.” Xander growled softly.

 

“One who likes fire. Their Mom died in Sam's nursery in a fire. I've run a search and I've found mention of others whose mothers died the same way. Two of them are now dead in odd circumstances.”

 

“Keep looking Dawn, if it comes down to it we'll find a way to track them down and tell them what we know.” Xander told her, leaving a kiss on her forehead.

 

------------------------------

“Dawn down!” She ducked and winced as a crossbow bolt flew over her head. She really, really hated Apocalypses. They hadn't hesitated to head for LA to help Gunn and Connor for the nearest world ending attempt, despite the fact she had exams in two days. If the world ended the exams would definitely be cancelled anyway. Nice way to spend her twenty first birthday, at least if she died it would be easy to date her tombstone.

 

Two hours later she was leaning tiredly against the wall, a sword held limply in her grip. Xander walked over and took the sword from her, trading her for a bottle of Gatorade.

 

“Thanks.” She muttered as she downed the liquid.

 

“Injuries?” He asked and she held out an arm to reveal the rather nasty looking gash. Xander winced but raised her arm to lick the wound clean. It was silly to let blood go to waste and his saliva like all vampires would help clean and seal the wound though she'd still need stitches.

 

“Everyone else?” She asked, ignoring the pull of the stitches as they went in.

 

“Gunn's got a concussion, Connor's fine and so am I. Not sure about Gunn's crew. But that's not the big news.”

 

“Oh?” She asked, moving her arm to test its range of movement.

 

“Apparently this was a celebration.”

 

“What!” She yelped slightly as he tightened the bandage.

 

“Some big shot opened something called a Devil's Gate and these yahoo's were celebrating the fact. Guess who else was apparently there?”

 

“Too tired to.” She muttered, taking another drink.

 

“The Winchester boys.” Xander said and she suddenly stood up straight.

 

“WHAT!” She yelled.

“Why?”

 

“Not sure. Want to help get the answers?” He asked and she gave a rather Spike like grin.

 

“With pleasure.”

 

--------------------------------

“Happy Graduation.” Xander lifted her off her feet and spun her around since they were alone.

 

“I can't believe I did it.” She said, looking at the certificate.

 

“I can. Joyce and Buffy would be so proud of you kiddo. I know I am. Now you just have to decide what's next.”

 

“That's easy.” She answered with a grin.

 

“Oh?” He raised an eyebrow as he went to get the ice cream from the freezer to celebrate.

 

“Hunt down Sam and Dean and figure out why everything's going weird lately. You know you want to too Xander. I know no one can ever replace Angel but I remember the night you came home from Dean. And I miss Sam so much. Please Xan?” He stared at her, gauging her sincerity.

 

“All right. We'll get things moving to start off on the road. I'll check the usual sights for sightings of them or known associates. You start handling moving.”

 

“Yes sir!” She gave him a mock salute and they settled in to eat their ice cream before uprooting their lives again.

 

-------------------------------------

Xander smiled as he noticed Dawn had finally drifted off in the passenger seat. They'd been on the road for a week and had yet to find anything substantial. They were headed for Florida now, not for a lead but Xander wanted Dawn's twenty-second birthday to be a happy one. Seeing as they had been mid-apocalypse for the last one. Dawn had always wanted to go to Disney World and he was going to make it happen. Who knew, maybe they'd catch a lucky break and find something on the brothers.
