Chapter 2
The room was filled with all kinds of books scattered about the room and filling up most of the shelves and the far corner of the right wall, the door leading to a bathroom was on the right as well near the open area where a desk sat that had more books piled upon it along with a small lap top and many writing tools, the left had only had one door as well leading into a closet that also had several boxes along the bottom filled up with old junk, worn comics, and a few action figures missing quite a few parts.
A pair of shoes lay scattered on the floor near a door near the front of the room that lead out to a long hallway, the carpet was a light green color almost like grass, some clothes lay scattered about as well, a tv in the front corner of the room sat with a stand built around it to house games, some dvds, and a few other nick nacks. Five bean bag chairs in front of said tv where used a lot on long nights, colored in dark blues and greens. The walls of the room, although faded and some parts looking new still had the paint scheme of a forest and a sky. Countless posters of some cool game littered the walls, some where even of women sports players, and other of animals. Speaking of animals several lay sleeping in the room, four or five dogs lay near a bed in the center of the room pressed up against the back wall near and open window where a cool breeze blew through.
Cats lay perched upon chairs and small stacks of books, some ferrets where curled up under some of the clothes scatter around the floor or laying in the beanbag chairs, upon the pure white bed lay two more creatures one was all white as well, it was a lone rabbit curled beside a long leg sticking out from under the white mess of sheets and bed spread. An Owl sat perched on the window seal snoring softly under the morning light giving off soft hoots here and there.
A backpack hung from the door that lead out into the hall way along with several stickers stuck on the door about rights to animals, gay pride, and some band groups. Buffy stood at said door and was leaning on the frame watching her daughter sleep. She had a phone held to her ear and listened to Giles babble on about some meeting between slayers tonight and finally she said "Okay Giles i hear ya big meeting i wouldn't miss it for the world, now i am going to work my way through the zoo my daughter calls a room and try to wake the lazy creature up for her 17th birthday see ya". Putting the phone in her pocket for fear of it getting ate in her daughters room. She made her way through the room careful not to step on a animal, she may hate some of the little critters but she couldn't say no when her daughter brought them home.
Sighing she about tripped over a dog muttering under her breath Buffy reached the bed and smiled at the rabbit picking it up she moved it up to a pillow out of her daughters way encase she jumped up to quick when Buffy awoke her. Quirking an eyebrow at the tan leg stick out of the bed and the one arm hanging off the side. Pulling the covers and sheets back she blinked at her daughters head stuck under the pillow before giggling slight noticing her snoopy boxers with her miss matched scooby doo tee shirt. Clearing her throat she leaned over and gently pulled her daughters head from under the pillow and then gently rolled her over. Almost laughing again at her daughter whose other arm held tight to a stuffed penguin, that her daughter had named Monique, MoMo for short.
Shaking her head Buffy reached down and stole said stuffed toy and placed it beside the rabbit, lifting her daughter shirt to expose her cute belly button she grinned evily and then leaned over and began to tickle her daughter mercilessly. Her daughter woke with a scream of glee and started to shuffle about on the bed to escape her mothers wrath. Once sure her daughter would remain awake and not just flop back into sleep as she normal would do if it were a school day. "Glad to see your away Bella now why don't you get up and get dressed oh and try to find you glasses in this room of yours".
Bella just grinned and stretched at her mom and stood up "You didn't step on anyone on your way into her did ya mom" asked the teen before frowning and looking around "also my glasses are somewhere in here where i don't know but i am sure they will pop up soon" Bella then grinned sheepishly at her mom. Buffy sighed "No i didn't step on one of your critters" said Buffy before reaching out and rubbing Bella's head softly before saying more "Its no wonder things get lost in here, things either disappears under the bed, get eaten by who knows what type of animal, or you books and clothes cover them up and they stay buried for years" Buffy finished with a smile.
Bella just laughed "True, now why the early wake up call there's no school so whats the rush" said the teen as she sat on the bed and looked at her mom. Buffy grinned "its your birthday silly and the family is waiting down stairs for you birthday girl". Bella grinned and jumped up "oh yeah I will get ready and be down in a sec" Bella then jetted across the floor not touch a single animal on the way to the bathroom. Buffy stared at her daughter as she left shaking her head "Girl will forever amaze me with how she never touches a single critter" Buffy turned and left the room still mumbling to her self before heading down to what looked like a kitchen. walking over to several bowls on the floor she pushed a button and watched as the food slid from the tubs down into the trays. Once all the bowls and trays where full of the right amount of food Buffy gave a sharp whistle and quickly moved out of the way. Soon all the animals that where in her daughters room where now in a the room.
The room was made for all the animals needs had water and food, doors leading outside to the back yard which held a forest and a large open grassy yard, there where even pet beds placed around the room for them to nap in, cat scratch posts where all around the room as well, and many places for all of the other animals to play, and there was toys and old shoes to chew and play with. Once all the animals where in the room she walked off and let them be, after all the animals pretty much only wanted to be around her daughter so they stayed where ever the food and play things where until she got home or came and got them.
Back upstairs Bella was already out of the shower and was wearing a pair of tan shorts, a white shirt with all kinds of paw prints on it in different colors, her signature blue vest with greek writing on it with a moon in silver. She was just finishing put her hair up in its pony tail when she noticed it was longer then normal, shrugging she went about looking for her glasses and finally found them under a book on her desk putting them on she grabbed her wallet and stuffed in to her back right pocket on her shorts. Picking up all of her dirty clothes she tossed them into a hamper and halfway made her bed before placing Monique on top of the pillows and kissing her goodbye. Grabbing her geta she slipped them on and and headed down the hallway to make her way down stairs.
Once she reached the bottom she walked passed many doors and stopped bye the animal station as she liked to call it and petted some animals and etc before telling them to have a nice day and to behave. Walking out she made her way towards the kitchen, once in she flopped down onto a stool with out a sound and looked around smiling at the people in the room before grabbing a juice of the table. The sun was shining into the room making her neckless with its four feathers sparkle and her one earring shine. Clearing her throat she looked at everyone as they jumped.
Dawn being the one nearest to here bopped her upside the head before grinning and pulling her into a hug "Holy Cow Bella, make a sound, or something stop doing that hole creepy not make a sound stuff when you walk its going to give me a heart attack one of these days ya know". The other women in the house laughed and reached over to kiss and hug the birthday girl. After breakfast was made they all sat down at the table and began to eat on it while having a discussion on plan for the day.
They all deiced to go out and have Bella's party latter that day. Giving everyone some time to spend out today in the town before they headed back to celebrate the party. Willow and Tara went out to the grocery store and got the stuff to make snacks for the party, Dawn headed out to get birthday streamers and cups and etc, Xander and Anya went out to get all the presents that everyone had wrote down on a list, Giles stayed at the house to keep an eye on the animals and the other slayers around the compound near the house, Faith and Buffy took Bella out on the town with them.
With Bella, Buffy, and Faith.
Buffy and Faith had taken Faolan to get her hair trimmed at a hair salon, sitting in the chair Bella told the hairdresser what she wanted done to her hair "Now I have thought about it and I would like it thinned out a bit also my bangs i wanted trimmed but in a choppy way okay" the hairdresser nodded at Bella and got to work. Faith and Buffy looked at each other and smiled "She sure knows what she wants doesn't she B." said Faith as she sat in one of the many other chairs in the store. Buffy just nodded her head and sat down as well thinking about her daughter's looks, she looked like Buffy true but if you looked at her closely and knew who her other parent was you could easily connect the dots as to who child she was.
Smiling a sad smile she knew things where gonna start getting bad soon because of the mist fading from around her daughters eyes she could see with each passing day the traits of Artemis coming out in the girl. Her eyes where the first to show signs of the Moon goddess in her with Bella's water blue and forest eyes, then her hair gaining its hints of blond in it making her hair seem to glow under the moon light, also the animals good grief the animals her daughter brought home, and the newest one the call of the forest, the wild, the hunt, it had many names but it was calling to her daughter every full moon and now almost ever time she neared some mystical she could see her daughter stop and do a dubble take almost like she saw it but didn't want to believe it.
Buffy New things where fast changing and she just wished she could turn the hands of time back. To bad she couldn't.
