yeah that happens if you turn into a vampire

(prologue)

Bella slips into the school by a side door; she just saw a thing and she thinks she's seen it in a book before and thinks it's supposed to be mostly harmless but before she wakes Giles up over probably nothing or kills a likely neutral demon she wants to check.

And she pushes into the library.

"I could haul Charlie here, he'd have more memories altered than you if that's what's going on, if that's likely to affect the strength of the result..."

[jellyinthemix]

"The divination I'm using is very vague - I wouldn't know how to begin to refine it toward questions like 'has this person had their memories altered recently'; at the moment it's more along the lines of 'tell me one important thing about this person's nature or history', and it isn't even very good at doing that informatively. More results might just confuse the matter further."

"Okay."

[jellyinthemix]

"I'm sorry I've been so useless."

[cross_and_bow]

"It's not your fault."

[jellyinthemix]

"Thank you."

[cross_and_bow]

"She took it, like, not well, but nobody yelled or threw anything? We're not telling Charlie yet."

[jellyinthemix]

Nod.

[cross_and_bow]

"Or Renée but she's less of an immediate factor." Pause. "She seems nice. Soph does, I mean."

[jellyinthemix]

"Yes."

[cross_and_bow]

And Bella leaves.

And Giles reads.

Sometime after sundown, the vampire twins show up and Giles is tired enough to welcome them into the library with hardly a raised eyebrow. They turn out to make good research assistants.
