Hey, I promissed a new chapter fast. So here is it. I got a lot of story allerts, and I want to thank everyone who left me a review. I have been very inspired to write this chapter. Okay. Enjoy!
7. The Slayer in me
Melinda walked trough the empty halls. She had left Zach right there, she couldn't talke to him. Afraid of what everyone ells would say. She understood it had taken a lot of confidence to walk up to her. But she couldn't handle it right now. She crashed at the end of the hall. She couldn't handle this. She couldn't handle losing love. What if Tess would find out, and she would be send away. She could not take that. Zach was standing behind her again. He folowed her.
"Zach, I can't do this." Melinda looked him in the eyes. "I can't handle another crappy family. Another damn school. And other friends. I want to stay here."
"We can try it again." Zach replied "I never wanted to loose you. I love you."
"don't say that Zach, please, don't make this harder on the both of us. Tess has power that goes over our heads. If we end up together, she'll get rid of me. I don't know where I'll be send. I've been here for almost 4 months. I don't want to go. I never want to go."
Her forhead was resting to his. He was looking straight in to her eyes. And holding both of her hands. He kept his lips to her forhead kissing it.
"If we want to, we can stick together. We will always be together." Zach putted his hand on her stomacht " No one will take you away from me."
She kissed his lips. And hugged for another 5 minuts. They didn't move. They just kept hugging echader.

"Hey, Angie." Brennan was smiling
"Why are you so happy?" Angela sat down on the benge right next to her.
"I have a studdy date with Booth." Brennan said smiling even harder. "He's going to be at my place. First Melinda is coming over for dinner, and then we have a studdy date."
"Is Meli stil down?" Angela asked "I mean the previos time I saw her she was crying."
"Well, I haven't seen her since this morning." Brennan replied "I hope that Zach and her are making up. I mean they are so cute together."
"There's something about her." Angela said "Something Magical. When ever she's close to me, I feel inspired to follow my heart."
"I know what you're talking about." Brennan replied "It's like she's inspiring to follow my heart, and find love."
Melinda walked up to Brennan and Angela. She looked a little mad.
"How could you?" She toke those words in her mouth like they didn't mean anything. "How could you say it to Zach? You're making this harder on the both of us."
"I thought he had the right to know." Brennan replied "I release it was yours to tell, but I knew you weren't. Meli, you can't be afraid all the time."
"I did not want him to know." Melinda replied "I just wanted it not to be true. I can not to it. I kissed him, Tempe. I just kissed him. Just like that. It was just small kiss."
"you guys are so mend to be." Angela replied "You can not be mad j Tempe, she's on of your best friends. She did it because she loves you."
"I'm not mad." Melinda replied "I'm just confused. Very confused."
She hugged Angela and Brennan in an act of friendschip.

Melinda was sitting next to Tempe. At the head of the table was Buffy's mum, Joyce. At the other side of the table Buffy and Dawn were sitting. Melinda was watching Dawn finnish her French fries.
"So Mum, I hear Tempe had a studdy date this night." Dawn said while she putted a French frie in her mouth. "It has to be so romantic."
"Tempe, I didn't know you had a study date." Buffy's mum replied "Who's the boy?"
"Seeley Booth." Buffy replied "He's one of the cute popular boys. You know the one with the dark hair. And the brown gorgeos eyes."
"Yeah, Seeley Booth;" Melinda replied
"So Melinda what are you going to do, tonight?" Melinda watched Buffy's mum while she asked the question.
"Well, I'm going to write some music for the musical and work on my chemistry." Melinda said "And I've got a paper due Friday in two weeks."
"Could you help buffy with her Chem class, she's been experiencing some difucalties." her mother watched Buffy "Could you help her tonight?"
"I could." Melinda watched.
"Okay, mum, but didn't I tell you that I have some important things to be done this evening." Buffy looked her "some important slaye things. And me and my friends are going to the bronze"
"I could join you." Melinda said "I never get out. I mean I can go for drink."
"Buffy, can't you go upstairs and get some chemistry done." Buffy's mum had a strict look in her eyes.
Slowly Buffy and Melinda walked up the stairs leaving Melinda and Dawn at the table downstairs. Melinda sat down on Buffy's bed.
"You have a lovely room." Melinda replied
"Yeah, I decorated it." Buffy replied "I'll get my books."
Melinda stood up, and looked outside the window. "I can see a guy, in Hell." Buffy watched "He's calling out to you, asking you help. Angel."
Buffy stopped looking for her books. She just watched Melinda. Melinda was in some kind of trance.
"I can see him." Melinda started crying. "Help me, Buffy. Help me. I'm coming back."
She fell down on the ground. Not moving for a while. Buffy laid a hand on her back.
"Are you okay?" She asked
Melinda sat down on her bed. "I don't know, I can't remember. I remember a voice. But nothing less, a voice out of love."
"Yeah, there was a voice already." Buffy reacted when she sat down next to her. "The thing I'm asking you is why? Why would you hear that voice."
"I don't know." Melinda shivered. "Is there something wrong with me?"
"I think I know what's going on;" Buffy replied "But I've got to check something out. Come with me."
She handed her a hand. Guided her down stairs.
"What happened Buffy?" She walked towards them. She shook her head, and Buffy's mum returned to the kitchen doing the washing up. She heard the plates. Then Dawn was standing right next to her; Hanging above them.
"What are you doing?" She whispered in Buffy's ear "Cause if you'redoing magic, I wanne help.
"Magic?" Melinda asked in a weird tone. "You are witches too? I can do stuff, when I toutch someone, they change, I inspire people, I don't know why."
"I think I do." Buffy walked up to the living room. Where Brennan and Booth were sitting next to echader, they were focused on the chemistry.
"ask them something." Buffy pointed at the lovely couple. "Anything, you'll se what happen."
Slowly Melinda walked up to Brennan and Booth. When she was close to one of them, Booth dropped his pen and brought his mouth to Temprance lips, and they started kissing echader.
"And they call that a study date." Dawn standed next to them. "Stop that, don't let mum see what you're doing. How come they don't stop."
"Because of her." Buffy pointed at Melinda
"What the hell is she?" Dawn started touching her with her finger. "Is she like one of those evil thingies, that makes people die by letting them kiss to much. Is she going to make us kiss?"
"She's not evil Dawn." Buffy pushed Dawn away from Melinda.
"Then what am I?" Melinda was turning around "How can I make them do that, without knowledge."
"You're not forcing them." Buffy replied "You stimulate love. You are like cupid."
"Oh,Oh" Dawn reacted "So does she have like a arrow, and shoots it in peoples asses?"
"No." Buffy replied "I said she stimulates love. She stimulates us to speak our mind. Others, to show us things that are unseen. She's the called one. The demon wants to prevent that you get reunited with your true love, you'll bring the world the true godess."
"So, how does she bring a godess?" Dawn asked "Will it like fall out of her but? And then she has to put in the ground. And poof, there will be a new godess."
"Dawn, can you just get upstares. And take Melinda. I can't handle them making out more." Dawn walked up the stairs.
"Oh, that felt good." Brennan replied "That felt.."
"like we were enchanted" Booth reacted "But I got a girlfriend. And I was kissing you. And what is going on? Are we going out now?"
"Tess is so not going to be happy about this." Brennan replied "Why did we start making out anyway?"
"I can say why." Buffy replied "Simple, you wanted to, end of the story. So can you guys like go for a drink. There's some kind of scoobie thing, and we are really loud. You won't love it. It is bad, really bad."
"sure." Booth replied "Come, Tempe, let's go to the Bronx. It's a great nightclub."
A couple of moment later all scoobies were in Buffy's living room. They were sitting there, not knowing why Buffy called them here.
"I think I know who the called one is." Xander replied "I have a good reason. It has something to do with these guys." He pointed at Jenny and Giles.
Buffy entered the room. "I found who were looking for. The called one, the one that inspires us. I would let her come in, but at with all these couple in the room, that could be, not that smart. "
"Yeah, talking about making out festival." Dawn reacted from out of the corner.
"yeah, Buffy who is she?" Jenny replied
"Melinda Ryan, the girl who's living at your house Xander." Buffy replied " I'm postive, she made me hear Angels voice, he was asking my help. That he would be back. The only thing I want to know is, has this girl active powers, like some mind control thingy."
"Buffy, we have no iday if she has active powers." Jenny replied "Mind control could be one of them, but we can not be sure. There are books say that the godess she use to be, was named Maya, Godess off love. She could shoot fire from her hand. Make people ice. She was telekinetic. But her powers are reduced to her mortal form. I have not iday, what she kept."
"I'm just worried, if the demon finds out who she is." Buffy replied "She's going to come after her. I just want to be sure this girl can protect her. She's now with my mum. But we can't loose her."
"Are you sure?" He took once again his glasses off and polished them. "I mean are you really sure it is this girl? She doesn't strike me as a earth bound godess."
"Well, she made you guys make out in the libarie." Xander was laughing. "She told me about it, she inspires people to write music."
Meanwhile downstairs.
"So what is it that Buffy's discusting upstairs?" Joyce asked.
"I really don't know." Melinda was feeling sick, all of the sudden. She ran to the bathroom and threw up. She entered the room with Joyce back, and saw the concernt view on her face.
"Are you getting a stomach flue, sweetie?" Melinda didn't want to say anything. She didn't know Buffy's mum that long, and she had no iday she could trust her. She sat down next to her.
"The foster system is a mess, isn't it." Joyce looked at her. "Before I became a foster parent, I had no iday. But it is, did you know that there are abusive foster parents."
She nodded slowly. "Got quiet my cher of them." She didn't smile at all.
"I swear, if I could remove all thos people form the system. I would." Joyce stroke a small part of her hear away. "But I can't. I just have to give one foster child a home. And that's it. That's all I can do."
"I'm glad there are people like you for Tempe." Melinda replied "She has not been in the system as long as I have. It changes a person."
"I know." Joyce replied "Buffy gave me an iday, she told me, if I wouldn't think about adopting Tempe, I mean I have a spare room, and I love that girl."
"She's a lucky girl." Melinda replied
"What's wrong with you girl?" Joyce putted her hand on her forehead to feel if she had a fever. "No fever, are the harris actually taking care of you. I don't want to mock Xander, but they are not the right family for a child."
"No, Xander's okay." Melinda replied "They fight all the time, but I got used to that."
"Something's up. I can feel it. Problems with the boyfriend?" Joyce poared thee in her cup.
"I'm pregnant." She said. Joyce dropped the can at the floor, the tea that was still in in, was all on the floor. Joyce started picking up the peaces.
________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile with Booth and Brennan
They were walking on the street, he was holding her hand. She was walking right beside him, enjoying the calm streets.
"I didn't see this coming." Brennan replied "I mean I love this. A date."
"Me too." Booth replied "I never had this much fun with Tess, not even with Cam."
"So you were having fun?" Brennan smiled at Booth "How much fun you would say you had. A lot fun, or just a little bit fun."
" A lot fun." Booth kissed her on her cheek. He kept her in his arms. "I never dared to kiss you, I was thinking about all the time, but then all of the suden I did."
"I'm glad you did." Brennan replied "It keeps my mind from the nightmares I've been having. This past month. Vampires and stuff. They make me go goofy."
"I love that about you, the way you speak your mind." Booth kissed her once again on the lips.
Behind in the town, two people were walking. They were rather pale. Brennan had a strange feeling of those people. And when their faces changed to monster faces she had the feeling she was right.
"Hey," the one with dark hair was saying "looks like we found ourself a lovely snack. For both of us."
Brennan felt afraid, yet something felt famelior. She reached for a wooden object and stakes one of the vamperies with it in the heart. The vampire changed in dust. The other vampire had plugged his teath in Booths neck. She made a salto, and pluched the wooden stick in the back of the vampire. He changed in dust.
"Are you okay?" Temperance sat down next to Booth who was sitting on the ground.
"Okay." Booth replied "I'm okay, because of you. Who was that? I mean what was that?"
"I think it's called a vampire." Brennan smiled at him. "He bit you."
"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Booth looked at her. "I mean that salto was impressive. It probably took a long time to learn that kind of stunt."
"Nah." Brennan replied "It actually came quiete natural. It was like I knew exactly what to do. And I felt strong, I knew that I was going to win, and they were giong to loose."
"You're my kind of girl." Booth kissed her again.
Don't worry, Booth will break up with Tess (or atleast he'll try);) Over 11 review, you'll get a next chapter:p
What do you want to see happen in the next chapter. Will Brennan tell Melinda what she went trough?" Will the scoobies tell Melinda about the demon that's behind her? Will the demon's identy be revealed (not that we all don't know that yet)? And will Joyce adopt Tempe? What happens when Tess knows that Zach and Melinda get back together? Will anyone adopt her perhaps? Was the messiger from angel?
