"Please, please don't look - ." Mia started to beg.
"Look at me, Mia. Look at my eyes, see the truth. A Grimm is someone who can see into the heart of darkness. Someone who sees things other people don't understand. I see the true form of a Wesen, what you see is a reflection of how that form makes me feel. What do you see in my eyes, Mia?"
Slowly the girl raised her eyes and looked and then gasped. "That's not - ."
"That's not what you've seen reflected on the faces of your victims or in a pool of water?"
"No, it's not, I don't understand. It's not a pretty sight, but it's not horrible either. I mean, it doesn't feel horrible."
"Because you're not horrible. You're trying really hard not to be a monster and I see that. We can help you, you never have to see the face you don't like looking back you ever again, I promise."
"How?! I must feed, normal food can't sustain me, I need -."
"The world has changed while you were locked away. All the races of those like yourself now try to find alternatives and my kind only hunt those who cause harm because they want to or have no other choice. You have a choice and we can help you, but only if you're willing to do what is needed. No killing, no feeding on humans, ever. If you break that law, than we will hunt you and you will not escape us, understand me?"
"Yes, anything not to be that, ever again, I promise."
"She really does hate being what she is." Cordelia murmured softly. "Uncle Rory's books said it and given how her people are treated, I can understand it."
"I take it she's a Wesen?" Jesse said.
"A what?" Mia asked.
"The words have changed since you were locked away." Xander told her.
"Locked away?" Jesse asked.
"She's the princess from the museum." Cordelia answered. "The Inca used Magic to lock her up, alive, for five centuries."
"Why?" Jesse asked. "The tour guide said it was because of a god, did they know you were Wesen?"
"They didn't know I was anything other than a girl. They chose me because my human face is beautiful and they offered me to the god."
"The man who keeps attacking you, who is he?" Xander asked.
"The guard, to ensure I don't escape. They fear the wrath of the god if I don't accept my fate."
"His people no longer exist as a power, their time is long past." Xander told her. "Nowadays he has a different wrath to face. I am a Grimm and that means wrath. You're now under my protection, Mia, and I will not let him hurt you."
"You're also under our protection." Matthew told her. "We'll help you adjust, to learn and survive in today's world."
"And the others of our kind can help as well." Cordelia told her and woged.
"Your other face would not be feared." Mia sadly. "Or hated."
"It may, normal humans mostly don't know we exist. They might think we're all monsters. They outnumber us, it's why we started trying to change in the first place, so that when they do finally know we exist, they'll know we mean them no harm."
"I will abide by your laws. I will not harm humans." She agreed.
"What's your real name?" Jesse asked. "The one your parents gave you."
"Tika."
"I think that's a pretty name." Margaret assured her, with a smile. "Welcome to our home, Tika."
"Where did Buffy take the guard?" Xander asked Jesse.
"To the library book cage. He seems human and she wasn't sure if he was a Wesen. She wanted him locked up until you could have a look at him."
"I'll go do that now. I promise you, Tika, I will not let him hurt you." Xander looked back at Tika.
"You can trust him, Tika, you should see just how much wrath he unleashed on some Wesen that wanted to kill me." Cordelia assured her. "Well, you could, if their bodies were still around. How long can you go until you need to feed again?"
"A couple of weeks."
"Good, that'll give the Council enough time to arrange blood deliveries for you. It really will be alright, Tika, you'll see. I'm the Queen of Sunnydale High and you're under my protection as well."
"Does this mean I have a sister now?" Jesse asked. "I miss having a sister, since Willow died."
"Willow?" Tika asked.
"A vampire killed her." Xander answered.
"Vampire?"
"Creature of darkness, a demon that feeds on blood." He replied. "Unfortunately Sunnydale has a lot of them. I spend more time hunting then I do other things. I won't let them hurt you either."
"You're English is pretty good for a chick 500 years out of date." Jesse observed.
"I could hear people talking, I learned."
"That should make school easy." Margaret decided. Xander and Cordelia left them to continue discussing Tika's future. They had an Incan guard to put the wrath of a very protective Grimm into.
A/N Description of a Grimm comes from Monroe, a Wesen, on the tv show Grimm. The general description is, good heads for observation, and uncanny instincts for people and their personalities, even besides their ability to sense the supernatural. Both are taken from the Grimm wiki.
Grimm is German for wrath, again according to the Grimm wiki. I spoke German as a child because my grandparents did, but that was thirty years ago. Online translator says it mean grim. ;)
Tika is listed as an Inca name on thearcheologistdotorg website.
