Tess.

Whistler saw Tess and the hound disappear into the distance, initially he was torn, fight Travers, or fight the hound.....The hound was way too fast for him, so that answered his first dilemma straight away, for now he was to face the other dilemma, fight Travers get to Tess in time...

He held up his fists...."Ok rogue watcher guy, lets see what you can do!"

Travers laughed, " You silly fool! when i said wraith, i meant wraith, i can suck your life from you with one touch!"

Whistler eyed him nervously " I gotta try.."

~~~~~



Voices echoed in her head, she didn't know where she was, IF she was still in existence, she could hear chanting but it was very faint, it was as if she was asleep, but couldn't wake up.....

Darkness was there was except faint light from candles, the demons stood around the alter, and swung the incense as they chanted.

The Misty old one sang inside, her joy at finally getting a corporeal form was almost complete.

A figure appeared throught the darkness, and placed his fingers on his lips "sush" Tess didn't know who he was, but she was sure she'd seen him in a dream, she had long ago...." I have to tell you something" he said.
"Tell me what?" she screamed in her head.
His hood was half way off by the time he stood over her, his hair was short and dark brown, his eyes were very intense and dark....then it was as if she knew..knew what he was going to do and there was nothing she could do to stop it, " You'll die!"

"Who are you!", Tess screemed inside her head but there was only darkness....a faint whisper was her only answer "You still have your mind..for now.."
 
Boy i can't believe this was started last year summer time and now it isn't anywhere near finished!

Well now i have new inspiration i will continue and get the *** thing finished even if it kills me!

So part four...


Whistler stood before Travers shaking he backed away ....he looked around desperatly for a weapon of sorts..he noticed a bookshelf nearby and he ran up to it...Travers followed laughing softly....
He grabbed the books from the shelves and threw them at him, Travers just brushed them off ducking and swerving, eventually he managed to hit him on the head with a very large Tome he saw near the bookshelf's end.
He ran as Travers stumbled back, and slammed into someone who had entered the corridoor at that moment.

"Hey! what are you doing in the watchers offices eh? not the place to be,
if your a demon". The last word was deep and meaningfull.
he looked up shocked and surprised, at the leather coated man, who was smirking and had a meaningfull look in his eyes.
"Angel!" He stammered "I mean you can talk!" How did you get here!"

"I have means"! he said menacingly, as he swung round and revealing the Axe he had secretly hid behind his back, he swung with calculation as Travers neared them and sucessfully removed his head.

"She's going to kill you!"
he looked up "huh? she?" he made a questioning look.
"A demoness, she had this hellhound and made off with my charge!"
"A Demoness? Got a name?"
Whistler went on to explain all that had happened.

"That's weird, cos i have been having these dreams, came here to research, actually"

"Your dreams about Tess?"

"Tess? that her name?"
"Yes, actually why how did you come here knowing they don't trust you especially as you now work for you know who?"

"It's abit more complicated than that!" he said defensivly, and then revealed,
"I said i had relevant information regarding the slayer and .."
He caught whistlers doubtfull look. "Ok i took the sewers, came through the airvents".

"Ok now your here tell me what you dreamt and maybe i can know her name and how to stop her"

Angel walked hiim to the library room.

They went inside and he walked up to table and sat.
"It started about a week ago..these dreams were of her being on this table, and she was being drained bythis stuff...her body then became this host, for something, old i could sense it was old, so where to start, Old Ones"

"I don't understand how you could be dreaming of her like that?"

"It's weird because i feel as if i know her".

Whistler looked surprised.

"I haven't met her in my life".

"Ok" he said moving across the room, which was set out like a victorian sitting room with lush velvet curtains and red deep red carpet, marhoganny wooden tables and chairs.

"Lets start with this section" Angel said as he walked over to the Ancient ones section, where he started pulling out books.


After a while he caught a book that was lying nearby, he picked it up, and opended it.

"I bet Travers was researching this thing himself!"

"I bet he was, doing his homework"
"What for?"
"He wanted to see about trying to break his curse, get his life back and by the way he made a deal with a client of ours, dodgy one that made sure he had the means to get away when the first attacked the council"
"You mean dark arts"
"Yes, and they paid me a visit today via a rep, in fact i didn't even know we had such a client till now, and they wanted him to pay up".

"That's why your here"
"Yep".

"But you killed him"
"Yep". I did also mention evil client didn't i?"
"Yep, how does the evil client fit into this?"
"That evil client is the thing that has her".
"What?"
Angel sighed, " Travers was double crossed wasn't he when he asked for a favour, and that was how he ended up like he was".

Whislter nodded."He made out i was the get out, the reward for him helping her, so he could live i was to be "Lunch!"

"Yes the book does state that to be freed from the spell another life must be exchanged".

"That doesn't tell us about her does it?"
"Nope,that info is at W&H"

"Can you get it for me?"

"How about i tell you what her name is, give you this"..he handed him a funny looking necklace and said "This what you need, and i need to sort out the legal ends back at the office".


Whistler stood mouth open, "I have been looking for that! What is her name?"

"Mylaya. I need to tell the Senior Partners that their clients client is dead,
and that is where it ends" He looked angry.

"What do i need to do with this?"
"You need to wear it and you need ....a Spell", he handed him a peice of paper."good ol' Wes". "Good luck" Then he lead him to the vent as they climbed inside He added " I'll lead you outside, ok".
He nodded, then they made their way down.
 
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.
