My next class after Cordelia pretty much ripped my insides out and did the Mexican hat dance on them with just a look, I was feeling ... not good. I just wanted to go home, but I knew that I couldn't. There was a test that I needed to do and as much as I was all for skipping, I decided not to. I guess I was just a glutton for the punishment from

I was back in the library easy enough and as I saw Xander being pushed out a window I started running to catch him. "Xander!!" I yelled, but was stopped by Ms. Calendar who tried to go after him herself. What did Angel think he was doing? Ugh! Xander was mine! He couldn't have him either! He was Faith's boyfriend! She just wanted all the boys to herself and that's why she was locked up in the cage now. Hah! Too bad she wasn't awake. I'll show her somebody who can come between MY Xander and her.

Xander was gone. Gone! Turning back to Ms. Calendar I glared at her hard. "If you hadn't of stopped me I could've caught him!" She gave me a glare that was just as hard and started to speak when Mr. Pryce stepped in and started giving me the evil eye. What did I do?! I was just trying to keep Ms. Calendar's old lady hands off of what was mine. She needed to keep her hands to herself. Or I'd make her and those hands disappear. Sure would.

I watched Mr. Pryce carefully as he looked at me like that. At the mention of Xander again, Ms. Calendar and I both perked up listening to him. A spell? Oh crap! Biting my lip I tried to look at innocent as I possibly could. But he just kept looking at me like that! But did he really know how to make Xander realize his love for me and the love I had for him was the forever kind of love that holds two people together no matter what and no matter what SLAYERS or TEACHERS try to seduce them?

My eyes wandered around the library for a second and that probably didn't really go with the innocent act I was trying to keep up since he kept looking at me like that. Like I'd been the one to do the spell. Okay, I had, but how did he know that?? I knew it! He wanted Xander too! Well, hah. I'd make him disappear just like the rest of them. Then Xander and I could be together forever. We were connected.

But he just kept looking at me all funny and not even at all at Ms. Calendar. "He made me! Xander told me to do the spell for him," I blurted out finally. Woops. Then I got a look of confidence on my face. "He told me he wanted it for stupid Cordelia, but I know he really meant it for me. He did!" And if he didn't I'd make him mean it. Yep.

There’s this childish part of me that wants to jump up and down and point, going ‘See! I knew it! I knew it was her!’ But since I’m the only adult here, I think glancing ruefully over at Jenny who nearly has team coming out of her ears, I’d best behave. The trick to stoop down to the level of the children isn’t really going to work here. It works in most cases, especially around a stubborn Faith. Just stoop down to their level and they’re find themselves stumped into silent compliance.

I glance over to Faith who’s still unconscious in the cage. Thank goodness for that. A Slayer in love and sneaking around thinking you don’t *know* she’s doing as such is hard enough to deal with. A Slayer who thinks she’s in love and will hurt of even worse, kill anyone who will stand in the way of that? Not something we need to deal with now. What we need is this bloody spell and how to counter it. And what I need is Fred’s help and quite possibly Jenny’s. I don’t know what Angel was thinking leaving me alone here with three banshees and a whole herd of them stomping on the door just outside.

And Fred, I realize at her words, isn’t the only one who’ll get a stern talking to. Though, I think Xander at the very least is seeing the error of his ways now. Thought…Cordelia? Miss Chase? I think I’m rather out of the loop here, but never mind.

“Well,” I start thoughtfully, keeping an eye on both Jenny and Fred, “If we want to let Xander see the…error of his way,” let’s leave in the middle here who will get him, since no one will in the end, “we will need this spell, Fred. So why don’t you show me which one it was so I can…make adjustments.” Jenny is still glaring at Fred and Faith, while Fred looks like a predatory dear caught in headlights she’s about to kill.

Pinching the bridge of my nose, I sigh and rub a hand over my face. Why can’t things go normal here for a change? Oh. Wait. Hellmouth. Of course they’re not going to go anything remotely normal. But a break would be nice. Oh yes, very much. And getting *my* Jenny back would be nice too, very nice.

"Oh, but Xander didn't do anything wrong," I said shaking my head. "Nope, he knew exactly what he was doing when he asked ME to do that spell for him." Peering over at Ms. Calender I gave her a gloating smile and nodded. "But if he didn't then I'll just make him think he did because we belong together no matter who," I paused and glared hard at Ms. Calendar again. "might try to get in the way." Nodding again at that, I looked back at Faith in the cage and let out a snort. That shows her for messing with m--

"Hey!" I jumped back when I saw Ms. Calendar start to come at me. She was gonna tackle me! Good thing Mr. Pryce kept her old lady hands away. I didn't need them as much as I didn't want them on Xander either. She tried to get away from Mr. Pryce so I went forward at her this time. We got into it a little once she got away from Mr. Pryce but ugh. He started pulling us apart right about the time I got a good hold of her hair to knock her one good in the face. I'd been out with Faith patrolling.. like once or twice and I'd seen how she fought. Even had to defend myself once from a vampire before she staked him good. I could stake Ms. Calendar easy.

Both seperated, I backed up a step or two. I still kept my eyes on Ms. Calendar as I spoke to Mr. Pryce. "Fine," I huffed then moved carefully past Ms. Calendar to go get the book I'd used. Good thing I'd remembered to bring it back in this morning before he'd noticed it was gone. That happened once and got another one of those talks. As I passed the cage that Faith was in I snickered a bit and kicked the door or the cage, hearing it rattle. Once I was back with the right book, I laid it on the table and pointed to the page of the spell I'd used to him.

"That one," I explained. "He gave me a bracelet that Cordelia had but I really don't think it was her's because I know he was just trying to get me to show him a spell." Smiling broadly up at Ms. Calendar again, she moved towards me but Mr. Pryce was already between us. I just rolled my eyes and turned to glance over at the library doors where most of the girls had now left. I needed to get out of this library too so I could go find Xander. He needed me!

"Can I go now?" I bite my bottom lip. "I bet my mama and daddy are wondering where I am." Not really, but I needed to get out of here to find Xander!
