He heard the alert, he knew things had been gearing up. Xander grabbed what supplies he could, scarce as they were. He's dealt with nightmares becoming reality before, just like the old high school when the Seal was opening up. Scary funtimes that was.
He was running down a corridor when he heard somebody call his name. He turned, and there was Anya looking at him.
'Why Xander?' Another figure emerged, Cordelia, then Renee. All of them looked dead, blood dripping from wounds, and pooling on the floor.
"Wait, what?"
'Why did you kill us?' No wait, Cordy had long since moved away to LA before she died. And yet, wasn't there that notice from Angel and the others? About the coma?
"No, no, I didn't."
Anya spoke again, 'You curse any women you love. You're a worse demon than I ever was.'
Renee added, 'I barely knew you, and I'm still dead because of you.'
He fervently shook his head, starting to panic and shake where he stood, "No, no I would have stopped it if I could. Please, it's not my fault."
'You left everybody to die Xander, and nobody even likes you here. Why are you even still alive? You should have let that evil preacher finish the job. Done us all a favor. I couldn't even curse you like I wanted to!' Anya spat out with clear disgust on her face. Their features grew paler as more blood dripped away, their bodies slowly decomposing and reaching for him.
"Hey!" Samus barked out when she spotted Xander, her voice revealed her heightened sense of alert. She needed to catch his attention. She needed to pull him out before he became a victim of his own mind.
He tried to react, but the corpses were grabbing for him now. He yelled as one started to pull his left arm out of the socket. Xander tried to fight to get away, and yelled louder as his arm dislocated.
Work quickly, Samus. She fired into the crowd of corpses, the energy blasts finding their way to the chests of the monsters with surprising accuracy. However, her trust in her own abilities was faltering. Her own fears bit at the edges of her mind.
She didn't want to risk Xander's safety. She couldn't shoot those corpses closest to him. She would have to push through closer and take care of them.
It cleared some space for him to kick his way through, and then fall to the ground so he could crawl out of the way. Also meant be out of blaster range while he tried to wrench his arm back in. Part of him knew it was a dream, and the pain was helping the corpses to start to waver.
She pushed through the rest with no worries about hitting the wrong target once Xander was out of the way. She managed to break through and offered a hand to help him get up.
