OMG I really have neglected this partly infav of smutt Ten/Martha strories in which I was encouraged no currupted into writting because an LJ friend was wrtiing some too! I actually have two stories pending aswell! So I really must finish this!
So any continuing....
Whistler made his way down below the street, it was dark and very smelly down here in the underground, and how he'd ever of located this he didn't know except that Angel had resourses, so he'd move along as silently as possible before he reached where he was going, and then getting through the dimention was another hastle in it's self, he didn't know much about dimention travel wether it was stable of disappeared if he went through or what, so he was going to have to take a chance, he ventured forwards, holding the amulet tightly in his hands as if it was life and death.
He reached a spot, where it was shining and glittering and deadly, taking a deep breath he went through...
Tess tried to focas as the chanting continued on the stranger's words, they meant nothing to her fuddled brain and then when she felt she couldn't hold on much more, when she felt the essense touch her soul as it threatened to invade her and leave nothing left, she heard a shout and couldn't open her eyes but it holted what was happening to her, and she tried desperatly to wake up.
Whistler had landed on his front as he fell into a room full of candles and symbols and hooded figures, he stood up and called out the spell speaking in a shakey voice, till the chanting stopped and the magic that had built up faded. The old one Mylaya stood in her mysty form and anger boiled in her she yelled for the figures the strike, he ran over to Tess and pulled out a powder and flung it over her face, he always had a counter spell in one form or other on him, and she stirred, he ducked in time to avoid the hoodie from striking him, he rolled over and got up again, grabbing a flame torch he waved it at him, as more approached, he yelled "Back off!"
Tess felt a heavyness lift from her as she opened her eyes she immediatly sat up and seeing the danger she stood on the stone slab and balled her fists.
"OI" she yelled "Wanna play tag?" she spun and drove her foot into one hoodie as it neared her then she hurled one over the slab. Whislter threw the amulat at her "Catch!" she caught it and waved it at the being who was now stood in an angry mist and said "Tell em to back off or you get it!"
Hestitating she complied, then Whistler Joined her as they stood surrounded.
She then laughed "I don't think you are going to get far with that, there are more of them then of you and even if you did, how are you going to get out? If you use this amulet once in no way out"
Tess stood difient before her, "Then we take our chance and go out swinging!" she lifted the Amulet and Whistler said the words that went with it's use.
It blazed brightly and lifted from her hands as it swirled like smoke, the energy from it sprang out and hit her full in the middle as she screamed, it consumed her till there was nothing left, but black residue, on the floor.
One of the Hoodies looked up wraith like features stared back at her, "She had the means to get out" "SO?" Tess replied.
It moved towards them and she got into a fighting stance "Bring it on bitches" They faught, Tess swore she must of hit the same one over and over in the face with her foot, they looked the same, Whislter waved the torch around and threw it accross at them, till at least three caught fire, then he resorted to his fists as more advanced towards them, "This is a good way to die yes? going down swinging?" she asked over the fighting.
"Yeah but it was said one way in right?"
"yeah?"
"Well what if there was a way out, say like if we break the symbols here and this Amulet?"
"Whislter your a nut, and lets face it, it wont work,and I'm all up for breaking things"!
she back flipped over the wraithes and landed on the other side, then she broke the symbols that lay on the table and upturned it, then she snapped a neck of a wraith waiting to fell her. Whistler manged to punch off the last two, then he placed the Amulet on the slab then smashed it...
The whitness blinded both of them and the world spun, she saw girls lots of them in trouble, a hotel, vamps and death, the cries were desperate, and one dark stranger looking over the city of LA, she didn't know him but the blonde next to him did, she was the leader of the girls she felt and they needed her help, she reached out to grab Whistler's hand, he wasn't there...
She wroke up, and found herself in bed her alarm was ringing, her mother's voice came from down stars, "Tess your going to be late for work!"
She got the message.
