Disclaimer: I don't own Bones... i wish i did though
She was the girl that you would always ignore unless you had a question about something school related, but even than it just didn't seem worth it to start much of a conversation with her. She wasn't your typical high school senior. At the age of 15 she was the top of her class and she had the vocabulary of a fifty-year-old professor. She had no friends because she was so smart that even the nerds didn't understand what she was going on about half the time. Her name was Temperance Brennan, however people had gotten into the habit of calling her Bones.
A childhood friend named Seeley Booth gave the nickname to her. No one knows why he started to call the girl that name but it had spread to the point even her parents were using the name interchangeably with her own. Though Seeley was three years older than Bones they ended up going to high school at the same time. He was a popular jock and she was the nerdiest girl anyone had ever met and they had drifted apart. The older kids felt threatened by this little eleven-year-old girl who had the intellect and mentality of an adult. So they picked on her to feel better about themselves, even Booth joined in on the teasing and taunting of the girl. Bones didn't let anyone think that the taunting was bothering her and she endured it.
She had been bullied her whole entire high school life, however not one person noticed her anger boiling up inside her. One day on one of her daily walks in the park Temperance had noticed something shining on the ground. It was a Silver ring outlined in black with a skull that had two emeralds in its eyes. Inscribed in it were the words "oblik zakretač ". Bones was curious as to what the words could mean. She went home and went searching for the meaning of the words finding that them to be of Croatian origin and their meaning was Shape Shifter. Bones looked at the ring wondering what it had meant to its owner. Temperance decided that she would wear the ring until she could find the person who owned it. She continued to stare at for a little while before putting it on her finger.
The emeralds on the skull lit up scaring Temperance so bad she fell off of her seat and tried desperately to get off the ring. A cloaked figure appeared before her and she scrambled to get away from it, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" The figure replied, "Who I am doesn't matter master…" Bones tried to cut him off but he continued to talk to her. "The ring that you have found will give you the power of a shape shifter… it will come off at a random time. What you do with it is up to you. However remember master for every action there is a consequence. " Bones didn't believe what the figure was talking about… "A ring can't grant people power that is completely impossible."
The cloaked figure laughed, "Well then young master why don't we see about that. To use the ring all you have to do is think about how you want to look and put your hand or finger over the ring. There will be a little pinch in your hand and then you will change. " Bones thought about what the cloaked figure was saying about the strange ring. She was trying to figure out how anything like this was probable. She thought so hard about it that she didn't even know that the figure had disappeared.
There was a sudden knock on the door that startled her out of her thoughts. "Yes, what is i... you know what come in. The door opened and Temperance's mother walked into the room. "What are you doing on the floor Bones?" Temperance stared at her mother and jumped up, " THAT'S NOT MY NAME!" Her mother looked at her with a shocked, "Calm down Temperance… I'm sorry; I wont call you that again if you don't like it. It's time for dinner wash your hands and come sown stairs." With that Temperance's mom walked back out through the door she came from.
Bones was angry at her mother for using the nickname that Booth had given her. She walked over to her bed and set down looking at the ring on her hand. If the man told her the truth then she couldn't get the ring off. Bones tried as hard as she could to pull the ring off for about 10 minutes before deciding that the dude told the truth. She smiled because she could now have revenge on the people who hurt her.
