Three days later, and Xander was ready to climb over glass to get free. Sunshine had taken it as a personal challenge to mate, and Xander was getting ready to revise his 'don't hit women' rule. Xander avoided her as much as possible, but then in the stable Dareh had put her in the same stall, and Xander had spent the evening with her rubbing on him until he had finally had an orgasm against her leg.

She had been furious that he didn't mate with her. Furious enough for her to pee a long stream down his leg as he tried to push her away. The girl could take subtle lessons from Anya. And it really wasn't very comfortable sleeping with her pee drying on his legs and making him itch. Damn that woman had a temper… a temper and a big bladder. His only revenge came from watching her drink his water, which he had learned to avoid. Let her spend the day horny and hot.

The next morning Dareh had looked at them both strangely, and Xander retreated to the comfort of his training, turning his mind off in favor of focusing on his body. When Posk came to feed them, he had laughed and slapped Xander on the back as he looked at the yellowing stain down Xander's leg.

"Seems like you don't go for the aggressive girls, huh boy," the handler laughed. Xander could tell him all sorts of stories about the aggressive women he'd gone for… or who'd gone for him, but Xander just kept eating. "Well since you're going to need to be washed down, I might as well do the girls first. That way they don't have to stand in the mud," Posk said as he rubbed a rough hand up and down Xander's back. Xander ignored the casual touches since at least they weren't the sexual touches he got from the girls.

With nothing better to do, Xander watched as Posk took the woman aside and groomed them one by one. He even managed to avoid snickering when Posk tried to groom Sunshine only to find that every touch on her body made her press back into him and moan pitifully. Served her right, Xander thought as he waved an arm to chase away a persistent fly.

When Posk finally took Xander aside for grooming, he had to get water from the truck to actually wash down Xander's legs before he could start with the normal grooming. The result was a damp ground and a Posk who was swearing in two different languages about the time. When the time came for Posk to care for his hands, the boy clipped the leashes far too close together, and Xander didn't even blink. He did, however, conjure his most violent fantasy: an image of Leshar slowing being gutted while bound with those leather ties that Xander could still remember cutting into his own flesh. The pain and anger rose up to an overwhelming raging fire that left Xander desperate to destroy something.

In the lean to, Brandy cried out incoherently and yanked back against the leash.

"Steady…" Posk started with a rather mild tone, but when Brandy screamed 'no' and pulled back hard enough to make the entire chain link rattle in protest, the boy took off for her. Not wasting any time, Xander unclipped his own hands and ran for the truck through the open gate.

Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as Posk discovered his error and reversed direction. "Onyx!" Posk shouted, and Xander realized that he would never get off the property before Posk could raise the alarm.

Spotting a post hole digger in the back of the pickup, Xander pulled it out and swung it before Posk could even slow down. Between Xander's swing and Posk running into it, the kid went down hard and turned a brighter shade of green.

"The name's Xander," he yelled as he swung the weapon again, catching Posk on the leg as the demon struggled to get up. Posk retreated toward the enclosure on his hands and knees, and Xander dropped the post digger so that he could grab him by the neck and drag him toward where the leather leashes still hung from the fence.

"Onyx," Posk coughed out, and Xander tightened his hold around the demon's neck until he could hear Posk struggled to breathe. After that, he found it easy enough to drag him back to the trees. He buckled the wrist restraints around Posk's wrists.

"My name is Xander and I'm not some fucking animal you can chain up," Xander snarled as he pulled the end of a wrist restraint to a tree and fastened it.

"Okay, Xander. Xander, you know you're going to be in trouble," Posk said slowly, still gasping to get his breath back. He also started struggling up onto one arm, and Xander aimed a punch that sent him crashing back to the ground so that Xander had a chance to grab the second wrist leash and pull it to another tree, spreading Posk wide between the two.

"Onyx, you need to stop. I don't want to get caught being careless any more than you want to get caught attacking a handler, so just unbuckle these restraints and we can forget this." Posk demanded, and Xander raised his fist to shut the demon up. Posk flinched, closing his eyes tightly and pulling his head to the side. Xander stopped as he noticed the demon's trembling arms and the slight catch in his breath. Xander knelt beside the tied up demon and looked down into brown eyes that at the moment looked entirely human even if the face was a bit green.

The rage drained from Xander as he realized that Posk couldn't hurt him any more. Or, Posk could hurt him, but only if the plan went bad, and if the plan went bad, Posk was the least of his worries. "You're right. I don't want to get caught. But I'm not going to turn into an animal just because you treat me like one," Xander said in a voice that came out more tired than angry.

"Onyx," Posk whispered as Xander stood up.

"My name is Xander," he repeated before running back to the lean to. The four girls all glared at him murderously, but only Sky spoke up.

"Babe, you have really fucked up this time. What the hell do you think you're doing? How far do you think you're going to get?"

Xander stopped and looked down as he realized that he wouldn't get far even if he did find a human town. Sky had been able to tell him they were somewhere in the Southwest part of America, but he didn't think any small town sheriff would be amused by a naked crazy guy. Xander turned back around and darted back to the trees where he pulled Posk's pants off.

"Onyx," Posk's voice promised pain, and Xander knew this was his only chance out because as much as he had humiliated Posk, he was never going to get another chance. Hell he was going to get locked into a tiny room chained to a wall if this failed. At least until Dareh sold him, and Xander wasn't betting on anyone wanting him for breeding after this stunt. Hell, Dareh would probably sell him to Leshar if this didn't work.

"Sorry, Posk, but considering how many times you've tied me up, I think I still owe you," Xander pointed out as he slipped the pants on. They stopped mid-calf, but at least he wasn't dangling his danglies any more. Xander started toward the truck at a good trot, ignoring the yells behind him, and just hoping everyone else would ignore them until he got clear.

As Xander pulled open the door to the white truck, he could feel his hands shaking in terror. A huge part of him wanted the leash. A huge part of him would have even welcomed the whip at this point. The sheer terror that struck him as he slid behind the wheel of the truck took his breath away, and Xander had to focus in order to hold his hand steady enough to turn the key.

Xander struggled to slow down his breathing as he felt the world start to grey and fade. The brilliant sunshine seemed to dim as though clouds had blocked it, and somewhere in the back of his brain Xander realized he was hyperventilating. Great, he could fight off the trainer but he couldn't deal with his own psychosis. Xander somehow thought there was something rather appropriate about that. Holding his breath on each gasp, Xander slowly fought his way back to rational thought.

Steering his way past the barn and main buildings, Xander floored the gas once he reached the drive leading up to the main gate. He considered crashing through the gate, but he really didn't want to disable the truck, so he pulled to the side and got out to see if he could open the gates. Using his fingers which felt strange after being bound so long, he explored the main gate latch and eventually twisted it open.

"Onyx," a deep, soft voice called, and Xander found himself really hating that name as he spun around to face Dareh.

"Oh shit," Xander whispered as he felt his legs go weak so that he had to grab the side of the gate that now swung open.

"Onyx, where's your trainer?" Xander found himself giggling in a state of near hysteria.

"He's a little tied up right now," Xander said in a pun too horrible for even Droopy Harris to use.

"But he's okay?" Dareh asked as he took a step forward away from his jeep and closer to the truck. Xander could feel the urge to go to his knees make his whole body tremble.

"He's a little grumpy," Xander hedged as he tightened his fingers around the metalwork of the gate. The edges of the scrollwork dug into his skin, and he focused on that rather than the growing panic both at Dareh's appearance and at his own reaction to the leash held in Dareh's hand. Part of his brain whispered that it would just be easier to let Dareh put that around his neck. As long as he was leashed all he had to do was accept, which really… that actually sounded good compared to the blind panic he felt now.

Run for the truck and get clobbered. Run for the road and get run down. Try to attack Dareh and get clobbered. All he needed was Buffy and a stake and it would be just like old times. Xander struggled to slow down before his own body took away his choices.

"It's okay, boy. Just breathe. Calm down." Dareh took a step forward, his massive bulk vibrating the ground beneath Xander's bare feet. And then he reached into the truck and pulled out the keys. Xander took a deep shuddering breath as that escape route disappeared. "You don't want to fight. I can see that."

"Never did want to," Xander admitted with a whisper as he watched a huge demon creep toward him, and it was the truth. He fought with Spike, he'd fought for Buffy, because he thought it was the right thing to do, but running had always been his first line of defense. Usually the second and third lines too. He was a regular Forest Gump, well except for the going to college part and the war hero part and the ping pong which he had never gotten the hang of, and Xander officially recognized that he had reached babble land. Dareh made little soothing noises, and Xander knew that he had to do something now or the decision would be made for him.

Xander went with his strength. He ran. Since the keys to the truck were in Dareh's hand, Xander dodged around the truck without stopping, his owner's heavy footsteps pounding the ground behind him. Without even glancing to see whether a hand was about to yank him off his feet, Xander flung himself into the Jeep and turned the key that waited in the ignition. Oh yeah, score one for being underestimated Xander crowed as he slammed the Jeep into gear and hit the accelerator.

Almost immediately he could feel the Jeep veer off to the left, and he knew what he would find if he looked back, which explained the whole not looking back thing because he didn't want to see what he wasn't looking at. He just jammed the Jeep into second and fought the wheel to keep it on the road. He didn't even know where he was going, but anywhere not here was a good start as far as he was concerned.

The wheels skidded on the gravel road and the growls of unfamiliar profanity were so close to his ear that Xander flinched and hunched forward over the wheel as he kept driving.

"Onyx," Dareh howled over the sound of gravel pinging against the underside of the Jeep, and Xander tried really, really hard to ignore the voice in his head that said he was doing something so monumentally wrong because he wasn't. He had a right to fight back even if his whole brain had been rewired to make him not believe that. He had a right to say no, and damn it, he had morals. Obviously, since he was okay with being tied up and spanked by the evil undead, he didn't have good morals, but still, he had morals.

Xander let the wheel go, pulling the vehicle to the left before he yanked the wheel back making the Jeep fishtail madly. "My name is Xander," he yelled over the sound of the tires digging through the gravel. Xander hit he brakes and actually drove off the road altogether before hitting he accelerator again and bouncing over the uneven ground next to the road. He heard something heavy hit the ground at the same time that the Jeep's steering suddenly returned to normal.

Shifting into second, Xander drove back up onto the road and had gone several hundred yards before he decided he had to know. Stopping the Jeep, Xander looked back to see Dareh standing in the middle of the road with his hands on his hips in obvious frustration.

"Onyx, you get back here," the demon yelled.

"Fuck you," Xander shouted back. "I won't fucking give you my children to raise and sell, you bloodsucking pig. We're people. We have hopes and fears and families just like you do. You fucking asshole. We have people we love." Xander could feel a familiar fury rise up until he was left shaking, wanting to put the Jeep into reverse and run the bastard over at the same time he wanted to sit down and cry. Deciding that neither one was very safe with a demon the size of Dareh only a few hundred yards away, Xander got back in the Jeep and put it into gear as he headed down the gravel road praying that he was heading for some place safe because if Dareh found him now, he was going to be in serious trouble.

Goooooooooo Xander!

Woot!

Now, please girlfriend, let the boy GO, LOL. He needs to get to Angel. He needs to find Spike and the girl with the babe. He's had enough damn it.

Unless, of course, you wanna punish him more.

Ah, but the question is whether I'm ready to let him off the hook. But I did have fun writing this chapter because Xander finally did fix it for himself... no letting his fear or his anger rule him.

He really is taking a risk leaving a place where his is marginally safe, but he would rather take that risk than do what Dareh wants him to do.

Woohoo! Action sequence - cool. You do such good action sequences.

That "My name is Xander!" sure sounds like a legendary motto, you know? And now I'm having Planet of the Apes flashbacks.

I do like writing action, and I really didn't mean that to sound so Planet of the Apes. I just wanted to show Xander holding onto one of the last things he owns... something Dareh tried to take away from him.

*pouts* Not first. Ah well.

Now, let him go. This is a major breakthrough for the broken part of him and to get captured again so soon (I'm not ruling it out at a future point, notice, just for this sequence) would be negative reinforcement and possibly end in a major setback. We wouldn't want Spike and/or Angel to find him now and discover that he is catatonic or something.

Besides, we need Spike to be found and they need to find that girl with the Xander sprog and they need to get back to Joyce who must be hugely worried by now and they need to get Giles and Willow into therapy (there have to be therapists in the know) and they need to kill Leshar and they need to lead a slave revolt or at least found the Demon Underground chapter of PETA and...

::breathes::

Great sequence, babe. Edge of my seat here. Looking forward to tomorrow's chapter. *g*

Seconds Djinanna. We need answers and we need Xander to get to safety with or without the MTB and her sprog. You do realize there's only 4 days until Xmas and it really would be nice to be able to celebrate without worrying about the bois *hint, hint*

Whoo! Go, Xander!

And he did it all by himself, without anyone's help. Even Spike's. I'm so proud of him. Now all you have to do is let him go... But we'll see.

Yeah, he really did prove himself, didn't he? If Dareh had tried to turn Xander into a pet, he might have given in, but Xander is always stronger when trying to protect other people... in this case he's protecting all those children who would be born if he stayed. And right now he would LOVE to have his Soluna knives back! He's going to be sleeping with those things for a while!

Ooooh, exciting! Though I'm probably wrong, I have this strange feeling that this was all a set up by Spike to help with Xander's recovery by forcing him to take action on his own behalf.

(also, in the same sentence, ". . . before hitting [t]he accelerator . . . ")

Wonderful! He made a plan--a great plan! (Spike, you might be wise to leave te planning to Xander in the future . . . ) He overcame his fears! He showed compassion to Posk! He was smart enough to get some clothing! He told off Dareh! He used his clever, sneaky, running, underestimated-person skills!

Obviously, I loved this chapter. (I'm relieved he's in the Southwest and not in some alien dimension; while there will no doubt be problems ahead, it could be a lot worse. And, as an earlier commenter noted, there are plenty of complications ahead even without him getting recaptured.)

Great! Thanks! (And that's a lot of exclamation points, even for me . . . obviously, you made me excessively happy with this one!)

OH XANDER!! I hope he gets away.. and is safe!

I've read from chapter 13 to 18! Damn, I was so far behind!! But now... WTF happened to Spike? He wouldn't have left Xander of his own doing... SO where is he? Is this part of his seriously warped plan?? Poor Xander!!

Damn!! I love/hate this story SO much!! Poor Xander has been through hell... (and nearly went there again when Leshar was trying to buy him at the auction.) I'm so wrapped up in this story...it gives me nightmares... and ok, sometimes naughty Spike and Xander dreams too....lol... BUT mostly just nightmares!! Gosh, I hope that you DO update tomorrow cuz I'll be worrying all day.

Thanks for sharing!!

Whoa, you really had gotten behind, but some people have stopped reading until the resolution of the missing Spike story line, so I just chalked up your MIA status to that. Poor Ame checks the end of each chapter and then doesn't read it if she doesn't see Spike.

Xander has been through hell, and if this is part of Spike's plan, Spike is about to go through hell. Xander is showing a lot of strength here, but that strength is still pretty brittle. The wrong push could put him seriously behind in the mental health department. And I already have the next update up... so you can go read and decide if it's dream or nightmare worthy.

I'm so glad you think so. Spike has a lot of explaining to do, but in the long run, Xander is probably better off for having done this on his own. Of course, if he gets captured *again*, I'm not sure what that will do to him.

And yeah, I'm kinda liking Dareh despite the fact that he's a creepy enslaving bastard. I think there's something wrong with me.

And an excellent question about the dynamic!

My heart is pounding so hard!

Go Xander! Please (prays to the PTB) don't let the most awesome thing he has done since he was found by Spike turn out to be the biggest mistake...I can't take those kinds of mixed messages.

He was totally freakin' heroic, wasn't he? I'm so proud of him!

He WAS totally freakin' heroic, even while totally freaking out! He made a plan, he followed through with the plan, and he didn't let his fear or his anger stop him! And hopefully he'll get away, but so often I just write the story without an outline, one event following another because logically, nothing else *could* happen. We'll have to see.

Wow! Great action. You continously amaze me with your ability to write action. Some of the games and fights you come up with amaze me.
*Go Xander*

thankyou thankyou thankyou for updating :) i just spent all day at work wondering what xander was going to do!

It was so great to see him fighting back for what he wants, even though it was so difficult for him. I loved the interaction between him and dareh and posk - he sure showed them who was the better ... ur ... person?

Also i just loved the line about xander not having good morals - lol brilliant!

Pretty pretty please more soon and i second what everyone else has said about giving the boys a break after the tough time they've had lately :)
But of course it is your story (though my fingernails that are suffering ;-) and i will be hanging on every word regardless :)

You are very welcome for the update, and I just posted Chapter 19 too.

Xander is fighting back even though every bit of training he had under Leshar tells him that fighting is pointless and only leads to more pain. Our boy is a lot tougher than Leshar ever game him credit for. And yes, he sure did prove he could outsmart Posk and Dareh.

And I'm so glad you liked that line. It mead me giggle when I wrote it. I don't think Xander has bad morals (especially considering who he's hanging around with), but I do think that Xander sees himself that way because he still hangs on to what normal society things is "right" even though he's far outside of normal society

*pets the poor confused boy*
