New Light Series: Newness of It All
by DTLT
Brian sat with a bored expression on his face, nodding and 'yes I understand your concern' ing while the weasly grease bucket of a Doctor ran his trap about his sister's mental blahdeblah. He had seen what they did to his baby sister. Had her strapped to the goddamn bed like she was some kind a fucking wild animal. He had no desire to listen to the professional mumbo jumbo crap Mr. Manor was saying, but he needed to keep up the mask of professionalism to get the man off his back.
Doctor Manor babbled on, the man was as crazy as his sister wanting to take her out of the institution and put her out in the world.
" And so, it would be safer for Lisamere to remain in our care..." He looked up with a confident air of arrogance on his narrow face.
Brian took a moment to turn his office chair away from the Doctor and to stare out the window. He shook his head and re-faced the man sliding a stack of papers towards him." Your care..hmmm..let me think. Under your care she's escaped 3 times, and everytime has to be shot in order for your idjet group of muscle men to bring her back in..."
" Tranq guns, perfectly harmless.." He paused reading the papers before him." You...you couldn't.."
Brian smirked." Yeah, see being mayor of this town..I have control of many influencial puppet strings.." He watched the Doctor continue reading and pale." So, yeah I would...but I'll just stick to suing you.." He stood up and gestured towards the door." My secretary will see you out and make the necessary arrangements..." He walked the sputtering doctor to the door and smiled." Oh, and don't try anything stupid...I own your ass...."
Doctor Manor walked out of the office of Brian Johnson clutching the manila envelope given to him by the plump and matronly secretary. They were not going to be happy, they were so not going to be happy.
Madame Gana had arranged for her best men to take the girl out. They failed so she turned to him to admit her into the medical fascility. He ground his teeth together remembering how badly the girl had been beaten when he first saw her. She had recovered, but if Madame would pay somebody skilled enough to take a 13 year old girl out...He had to find someplace to hide.

Lisamere sat stiffly on her bed. It was her own bed...and it was big, blue, and so soft. She looked over to her desk. It was /hers/. The computer on the desk was one of the best, well Brian had gone all out to make sure nothing in the house reminded her of the awful cold place.
She had slept in her new bed, and her back didn't hurt. She ran her fingers over her soft new pajamas and whimpered. She scanned the room for any cameras. There were none, but it's allways a trap, always a trap, always...
Lisamere took a deep breath. She would be a good girl and pass the tests, and be good and go to school and be normal and she'd pass the tests and could stay with her Brothers.
Tyrone watched as his babysis walked out of her bedroom wide eyed. She made her way into the kitchen and pulled her self up on a stool at the bar/table.
" Hey suga, sleep well?"
A shaky nod. Tyrone tried another tactic.
" You ready for school? I made you some breakfast..and I'll braid your hair then we'll go from there?"
Lisamere looked up with suspicion in her eyes. Eyes that had seen far too much for her 15 years. Eyes that seemed to see right through you. Tyrone winced guiltily, thinking about the meds he mixed with her grits. He liked his bodyparts attached, there was no way he was going to offer her the pill bottle and ask her to take one.
He was broken out of his thoughts by the soft voice."Yes.."
He smiled brightly and reached over to ruffle her hair, drawing his hand back watching her stiffen up." Go get dressed sweetie, your clothing is laid out for ya.."

Lisamere remained silent, concentrating on the passing road. Tyrone had spent time braiding her curly locks into neat pigtails, and straightening her outfit. He ran and hand through his own longish mane and smiled. Thank God his parents were hot. It was not doubt, his sister was a cute little girl...he only prayed that nobody was foolish enough to tell her..if they were male anyhow.
Brian had made the trip up to talk to the necessary officials in Sunnydale...including the rat looking principle named Snitty....Snyde..somthing like that. He hadn't been to pleased, but after his Brother laid down the law...well he folded like a silk sheet. The teachers in the school were given special instructions on how to treat the little girl, and the students were warned about her aswell. As long as she was heavily medicated, every thing should go fine.
Tyrone pulled up in his green convertable..well aware of the attention it brought. He smirked and winked at a couple of High-School girls who were staring like fish before going around to open the door for his female sibling.
Lisamere stepped out of the car with the grace of a young lady, smoothing out her dark blue jeans and adjusting her matching jean jacket. Her cream colored t-shirt matching the ties at the end of her hair, she stiffened in the warm embrace of her older brother then walked into the school.

Snyder watched his newest student enter the school with narrowed eyes. /That/ little slip of a thing...he shook his head and made his way towards her, smiling and looking even more rodent like.
" Welcome to Sunnydale High. I am Principle Snyder..You must be Miss. Johnson."
Lisamere looked at the strange rat man studying him from head to toe before nodding shyly, her dark brown eyes slightly glazed from the medication flowing through her system. "Yes Sir.." Her southern slur light, and adding a honeyed tough to her soft voice.
Snyder kept the smile." Allow me to show you to your first class..." He started to reach out to guide her, then he remembered the warnings and covered his slip-up by gesturing down the hall. His cheeks were starting to hurt.
As Lisamere entered the classroom a buzz went around. She scanned the room and blinked at the bright and obviously faked smile the teacher at the front beamed at her. Okay, that was starting to get annoying. She heard her name mentioned and was shown to a desk, a brunette near the front frowning briefly and turning around to whisper something to another ditzy looking blonde, they looked at her and smirked before turning back to the teacher.
Lisamere sat at her desk, taking out her notebook and pencil and arranging them carefully. She noticed the textbooks at the other desks and for a moment froze. She failed the test.....she knew there was a catch. She felt her bottom lip tremble then blinked as there was suddenly a Math textbook in her line of sight. She turned to stare at the smiling young brunette guy offering to share. She smiled slightly and opened up her notebook and listened to the teacher taking notes and reading as she went along.
Xander watched the new girl. How old was she, 12..13..kinda young to be a junior. He arched an eyebrow stealing a peak at her notes, and his mouth fell open as he did he best dying fish impression. She turned her glazed eyes on him questioningly and he quickly shut his mouth and stared at the jumble of numbers, letters, and cave art on the blackboard.
It was like..a primitive alphabet that turned into numbers by magical crosses or slashes. He frowned at his paper.
Lisamere watched the math book guy struggle with the math and she chewed on her bottom lip watching the teacher and waiting until her back was turned. Then she wrote down step by step how to solve the problem and slipped it over to the boy and went back to her own notes.
When the bell rang he watched as the little girl jumped and looked like a deer in the headlights. She relaxed and made a soft "hmm" sound before she stood up and packed away her things staring at her schedule.He tried talking to her and she shook her head. She looked up at the strange staring boy and nodded politely." Thank you kindly sir.." Before making her way out the door. Xander shouldered his bag and shook his head before remembering he was still standing in a classroom. He bolted out the door.
