10. The Maya factor
Melinda was walking over the street. Crying. She had no time to see Zach. She had to go home, or what she used to call home right away. She didn't know what she had to do. Would this demon come after her? Or did the demon even know who she was. Where she was about to go. Probaly Contecut or, New York. Her own hometown Albama was no option. She had no iday where she was about to go.
She entered the house where she had been living for almost 4 monts now. Hell this Friday would be exactly 4 months.. And now she had to leave. She saw the man and the woman standing there.
"Melinda, we're taking you away here." The woman said "My daugther told me about this house. About their ways. Witches, all kind off stuff. You have been abusive off this kid."
Melinda didn't agree with that, some families had been worst on her. And others had been better. But she had a feeling that she had to stay in Sunnydale. That she couldn't leave. She couldn't leave Zach here.
"Go get your stuff." The woman next to Tess's mum said. Her eyes seemed kind, although she didn't know that what she was doing was not the right thing. Melinda knew that danger was coming her way. She didn't know why. She just knew. She had the feeling that she had to run away. And just go somewhere ells.
Melinda got in her room. Or the room she had been calling her room in 4 months. She took her things. All things she owed. Her clothes, all her books and the little gifts Zach had given her. She putted them in her bag. She putted a letter on the bed. On the envelop was the name Zach. She had written it, for this moment. The moment that she had to leave. She no choice. No choice at all. She was 16, and in their eyes she was property of the state. No family had made the attempt to even addopt her.
She stepped in the car. The woman say her sad look. And told her that everything would be okay. Everything would be okay, nothing is going to be okay. The system was treating her like a friging frizebie. They threw her out, and ler her fly. To capture her after a while and get her out of the area she love the most. Another 24 hour family, Melinda tought while she putted her face against the window. She saw everything moving. Faster and Faster. Time was moving, but it looked like she remained still.
Tess appeared in front of the care. Melinda was shocked. What did she want? Was she going to make even more fun off her. After the couple minuts of pannic, she realized something was off with Tess. She was standing in the middle of the road, and she was not going anywhere. If she kept standing there, the care was going to hit her.
"Stop." Melinda yelled "Stop the damn car."
But the car didn't stop, the moter was going faster then ever, and the woman didn't make any attempt of stopping. It was like Tess had her under her contrell. Tess had a smile on her face, not like a smile that she had seen before. The smile of evil, like she was winning. Melinda climber over the drivers seat. She grabed the steering-wheel from the woman. Trying to get the vehicle under her control.
Tess put her hands in the air. Slowly she moved her right hand to the left side. The steerig-wheel made a turn to the left. And the entire car folowed that move. Melinda was thrown against the side of the car. She had no iday what to do, the car was going crazy, and her rational mind was telling, that Tess had something to do with it. Melinda got back up, she grabed the wheel. She pushed the woman to other side of the car. She was unconscious. Melinda saw a car coming her way. She should get out of this car. Stop the car, that was her best idea. That was the only idea, she had. Stop this stupid car.
Melinda stepped on the break. The car stopped, Tess still had her hands in the air. Melinda was breathing fast, she had an iday that the car would not stop that easily. She had to jump out of the car that was driving a bit slower. She opened the car door. Slowly she stepped the break again. The car almost stopped all the way. She stepped out it. She couldn't see Tess, and she was pretty sure Tess hadn't seen that she had gotten out of the car.
After a couple of seconds the care started once again. The car drove faster. The car ended up against a three. There was a fire. A big fire. She saw that Tess was watching the fire, she was sure Tess wanted her dead. And when Tess saw her on the street she was sure. The wind around her was cold, and her body was shaking. What did she have to do? Where did Tess go? All off the suden she was standing right in front of her.
"Maya, finnaly we meet again." That were Tess's words. She knew that she had hear those words before, years ago, in an other life time. The name Maya sounded fameliar to her, like a name she had before, and was trying to forget. Maya. It brought back good memories. Times were simpler. Much more simple. That was all she could remember. Feeling powerfull.
"Maya, look at me." Tess appeared closer to her. "I want you to look at me, when I kill you. And I I kill you, I get all my powers. The powers you have taken from me."
"I don't know what you're talking about." Melinda walked bakwords, trying to escape this situation. But she had the iday that she never would. She would never escape this situation. Never ever. She had to fight back right now.

"Wapens?" Giles asked while he watched everyone walking next to him. Willow, Xander, Buffy, Temperance and Jenny were there, holding up some kind of wapen. Temperance had a crossbow, and had just learned how to use it. Some how he feared that she was going to miss her target. The rest of them had another kind of wapen.
Jenny had a bag, She had putted all her potions in it. And she hoped that some of them mind slow Tess down, so they could get Melinda ut of her hands. They were heading for the outskirt of town. They knew that she was heading out of town, and there was only one road they could take. Giles was giving typs to Temperance.
"So what are we going to do?" Willow asked "I mean she looked pretty powerfull, how are we going to stop her. I mean we have 1 witch, 1 techno-pagan, 2 slayers, Xander and a watcher. I believe that is not going to be enough to get her down."
"I know." Giles replied "I just hope we have enough time to get her out of here. I just hope we are not late yet."
"What about the foster system?" Brennan asked "What are you going to do, when they notice she's missing? I mean they will notice."
"Yeah, I understand. She has to stay here. I could take her in, for a while." Giles replied "We have to wait untill the baby is born, all that time we need to protect her."
"Maybe, you need to addopt her." Jenny replied "I mean you could try."
"I'm not an american resident." Giles replied "I'm brittish. Don't forget that."
"So, who's over 18 and lives in America?" Xander smiled and watched Jenny
"Xander, I know what you are thinking, but no." Jenny walked on " I mean she's 16, for crying outloud. How am I going to do that? I have no iday how to look after a child."
"just think about it." Brennan asked "she's my friend, I want her safe. And the world is at stake."
They walked on, Giles spotted a cloud of smoke, he tought a car was crashed against a three, and he was right. She saw that their was a woman in the car. The weird thing was, she was not in the driver seat. How could the car have crashed this way? Giles asked himself. Jenny was looking at the car. The driver had tried to keep the car on the road, but didn't suceed. It looked like the car, had stopped first, to restart at full speed.
Giles ducked against the floor when he saw Melinda and Tess standing their, Tess was wearing a black jacket. Melinda was trying to get away from her. But it didn't help anything. Brennan walked up to her, fired the crossbow. It hit Tess in the shoulder.
"Au!" Tess turned around. "Oh, your friend came to help you. That is so sweet."
Tess turned to face Brennan. She hitted her in the liver, took the stake frome her pocket.
"oh, slayer;" Tess reacted "It has been a while since I've killed one of your kind. Isn't it ironic? A slayer and my dear Maya friends."
"Get away from her." Melinda stood up from the ground. He eyes were bleu, the coulor they never had. Her eyes were normally green. Brennan stapped behind her.
"Oh, I can kill you fist." Tess smiled. "Oh, it's your choice. I don't care what bitch Just bring in on."
Melinda stander right in front of her. She was still afraid, but she hoped that Brennan would get away.
"Show me the power of love." Tess smiled
Melinda brought her arms up, pointed at Melinda. Showing her the love she had. She imagned her disparing, that she would tbe some place ells. A bad place. One of those places everyone was talking about. Cold. She opened her eyes, to find Tess still starying back at her. Frist she didn't notice that she was frozen, but later she did.
"Oh my Godess." Jenny walked around the sculture. "She froze a demon. She close her eyes, and then all off he suden she was frozen. How is that possible.
"We got to get out here, before she wakes up." Buffy said while she pulled Melinda's arm.
________________________________________________________________________________
Buffy was sitting next to Melinda, who was still a little paniced. She looked at Jenny who was sitting standing next to her.
"You didn't do anything wrong." Jenny replied when she saw the scare look in her eyes. "She was a demon, and this isn't the last thing we've seen of her. We better prepar for when she comes again."
"Protection feeld, done." Willow yelled "This was so much fun, need anything ells. Like a big light thingy, cause I can do that. I can do magic."
"We'll be okay, Willow." Jenny replied.
"Temperance, I have to talk to you, it's about your parents;" Giles took her outside.
"What is it?" She asked while she watched the sky.
"Your mum, she died." Giles replied "I know you think they disapered, but your mum, she died. She was running from this demon, and it killed her. I have no iday, if your father got I know is, you will hear a lot about your parents.
Giles took his glaces off. "A lot of bad things. That they were criminals. It's all true, but don't believe it. Your mother and your father were good people, I was blessed to know your father. He gave me his dairy the day he ran away. When he became Matthew Brennan. I know him. Know he love you." He looked at Brennan "All he wanted was to keep his family safe. That is all you need to know.
"Do you know what is going to happen?" Brennan asked "To Melinda? We have to protect her for 8 monts, how are we going to manage that."
"I hope to find a way to kill her." Giles replied "I mean there has to be a way."
"Only if Melinda will give birth to a baby, she'll disapare." Brennan replied "Or is there another way?"
The reentered the appartmen. Willow and All persons were sitting together. Jenny was reading a book about magic. Magic for beginners. Xander sat next to her. His sell phone rang.
"Harris." Xander walked in Giles' kitchen, you could still hear him talk on the phone, Melinda didn't see him anymore. After a couple of seconds Xander walked in the house.
"I've got some bad news ander replied "The foster system called, they asked where Melinda was. They found out about the crash. They believe that someone wanted to harm the girl. My mum just caled, they are looking for Melinda anywhere. They want to take her somewhere safe. Mum mentioned something about a lot of broken ice. Probaly Tess broke out. And she's looking for her right now. We need a solution. We need to make time move faster."
"There's this spell." Willow stood up "It's kind off complicated, but it can make time move faster. We can make thos 9 months flie by. "
"Yeah, I know that spell." Jenny replied "The previos time that someone peformed that spell, they started the spell 20, and they never ended it. I mean it's possible that we won't be able to leave the speed."
"I know, but do we have another choice?" Brennan asked while she watched the rest
What choice do they have? Do you think Brennan is mad with her parents? Will they peform the spell? Who will adopt Melinda? Will Melinda remain in Sunnydale? Was the person in the car in charge off Tess, or was she evil? Is Tess's mum evil?
Thank you, for reading my story once more again. If I get more then 20 review untill the end of the week, I'll be giving you a new chapter fast. People I really want to know if you think they should peform the spell, cause I really don't know what way I should go. So please give me tips. Either they do the spell or they protect her? Or are you more for the iday that Melinda goes after Tess.
Thank you for reading the story,
