9. Breaking up is hard to do, espeasly now
You can do it. Seeley Booth tought when he walked up t Tess, his girlfriend. The truth was, he really didn't like her. She was what you call a bitch that like to controll each and everyone around her. And she always had been that way. Booth stood right behind her.
"Tess, I've got to talk to you." Booth asked. He saw that she was looking at Zach and Melinda. Melinda and Zach had decide that their relationsship was word the effort. And they had been close ever since.
"I hate those people" Tess yelled "They are breaking everything. She will be sorry, I'm sure she'll be sorry."
Booth didn't dare to speak. Her eyes looked like they were toutched by evil. And her smile was not the smiel he had ever seen on any other girl. It was almost like she was turning evil, or something. But he knew that she was not. She was not turning to that side. He hoped. His parents brought him up as a perfect catholic. And he had learned to be nice to everyone. But she made that promis be hard.
"I've got to talk to you, Tess." Booth walked away, she was following close. He walked to a place where they would have more privacy. He didn't want to dump her in front of everyone ells.
"Seeley, what is going on?" Tess asked, he could do nothing but hear the evil sound in her voice.
"I think this is not working out." Booth said. Tess looked at him with those evil eyes, not they were not hirt. She didn't give him a look. She didn't cry. "Us, I don't think we are right for echader. When I'm around you, I'm pretending to be something I'm not."
"It's that foster child." Tess stood up "Temperance Brennan, I've seen the way you look at her. What is it about her, that makes you fall in love so crazy."
"You haven't seen anything Seeley, You'll be sorry." Tess said "When I get what I want, you'll be sorry you chose against."
Booth looked after her while she walked away from him. He didn't care, honestly, he was glad he did not have to see that faced once more again. He wanted to go tell Tempe the happy news, tell her that they were going to work out. After all this years he finnaly found someone who he loved with all his haert. After Cam. And he was happy.

"Oh, shit." Those words were regular part of Giles' vocabulary. But he found this situation needed He had a book in his hands. Willow was sitting on the computer.
"Sorry, Giles. All I get on the name Matthew Brennan and Christine Brennan was, oh they are great people. The weird thing is, no birthday." Willow said "Something does not make sens."
"Yes." Giles replied "And I can explain why. Cause their real names are not Christine Brennan and Matthew Brennan. It's Max Keenan and Ruth Keenan."
"As in the bank robbers?" Willow asked "I remember, my mum told me about them. They always stole, money, never killed anybody."
"That's true," Giles replied "Ruth, used to be a slayer. She was the reason Buffy got called. She tried to run away from her life as a slayer. She took the calling away form her daugter, changed her name. But they couldn't get away. Or atleast she couldn't. Then Darla happened. She snapped her neck. You know who her watcher use to be?"
"Let me gues." Willow said while she put a smile on her face. "Ehm, you."
"No, Max Keenan." Giles replied "The police was looking for them. This bank robber thing was an act. The watcher council subjected it. In those days vampires were active in the world of bank robbing. They wanted to put the slayer by the source of the problem. But they didn't protect her. The police came after them, demons. They were not safe from the law, or supernatural beings. The last enter in the dairy says ' we have to run, the watcher council abandoned me and my family. Never again will someone off my family risk their lives for them. It ends here'."
"So, he didn't want Tempe to trough the same as he and his wife went trough, so he took her off te radar. It's all in this dairy. How could he do that to her?" Willow sat down
"A father does everything to protect his child." Giles replied "Some day, you'll know that."

"So this vampire was big and strong." Brennan was saying to Tempe "He was coming for me. And all of the suden, I knew exactly what to do. I staked him. Made a great salto, and killed the other one. It felts so awesome."
"Well, that sounds better." Melinda looked around her. "This kissing thing is getting wors by the day. So tis morning I tried some oil. I thougt it worked. Giles gave me some kind of spell, a couple of minuts ago, and I think it's working. He was talking about, how 'she' could not find me."
"Well, could he be anymore vague." Angela replied "It's all soo great. Tess, I haven't seen her in days. Or it was just a couple of hours. I'm just getting used to this.
"Me too." Melinda replied "Altough she was eying me and Zach earlier. I think she's up to something."
"She's always up to something." Angela said "Don't worry, with her brein, she couldn't outhink you."
Xander walked up to them. He looked rather said. He had those puffy eyes, like when he was alargic. He hugged her first.
"Mum just called." He said. Melinda was getting paniced. Those words in once sentences never mend a good thing. And espacialy if the messenger was crying, while telling them. "My mum said social serves just knocked at our door. They are taking you again. There's nothing I could do, it was something about my parents being abusive of you. But they aren't. It was Tess's mum."
Melinda sat down. "What do I need to do with this?" She asked "I can't go. I can't go to a crappy family. I can't handle another family. Can't I just go with you and say it is not true. They mind believe me."
"No, my mum tried that." Xander replied "The way we were acting pretty much agreed with the story. They say it's not a propper place to raise a foster child."
"But.." Melinda not in a mood to talk.
"You need to go." Xander said "They are waiting to bring you some place ells, they wouldn't tell us where. Just that you would be safe."
"Safe." Melinda looked around "If I leave, who's going to do the musical?"
Xander didn't replie to that question. He just watched her walk away. With her books in one hand. She looked back, she gave him this look. She was afraid. He could read it on her face. He just headed for the library. He had seen the look on Brennan and Angela's face. They had lost a friend. And Xander had to agree, he somehow lost a friend to. He entered the library. Jenny was standing their with a flower. It had been dead for like a couple of weeks. A bad present from Giles, he could imagne.
"Something is going on." Jenny replied "Something serios. This flower just, with in several moments. Evil is rising at Sunnydale, and it's spreading. It's like the one thing that was protecting this school just left."
"Could be." Xander walked up to them. He still had those puffy eyes.
"Xander, what the hell is going on?" Jenny asked. She looked at him.
"Social serves is taking Melinda. Tess her mother was at our place. She had a complain that Melinda was being abusive. I'm sure it's Tess doing this shit." Xander said "She's been trying to break up Zach and Melinda ever since the beginning."
"But afcourse" Giles replied "She is the demon. Tess is the demon. She knew that Melinda was the called one, the only thing she doesn't know is, that she's pregnant."
A cold wind came out of nowhere. She appeared out of the cloud. She was standing there, Xander could feel that she was getting more powerfull as they spoke. "Oh really she's pregnant. And I was hoping that I didn't have to kill her. I guess I was wrong."
Tess disapered in the same cloud as she came. Xanders head was on his knees. He was getting afraid. He just kept watching straight on, to the other end off the room.
"Melinda is in grave danger." Jenny replied while she took wapens "You go get Temperance, I'll find Buffy. We need to get her with us again. If she leaves Sunnydale, she's dead."
This chapter was a bit shorter, I'm really sorry for that. If you want to know what happens to Tempe, Melinda and the rest. Review. You can give me a lot of ideas. Do you think Giles needs to tell Tempe about her parents? What they did for her? What will they do to save Melinda and keep her in Sunnydale? Does she have any active powers? Will Tess find her? Or will they scoobies find her? If I get over 18 review, I will post the next chapter right away.
