SLAYER (2)
“Bette, darling, did you need something?” Peggy had never taken her eyes from her papers as she spoke.
“Uh, well, it can wait if you’re busy Peggy.”
“Nonsense, I’m never too busy for you. Come in and sit. I heard you saved another ‘civilian’ last night. I can’t tell you how impressed we all are at the Council with your work as a slayer.”
“Oh, well thank you. It means a lot to me to hear you say that. Actually, I did want to talk to you about my…job.”
Peggy looked up sensing a tone in Bette’s voice that worried her.
“Before you begin Bette, I just wanted you to know that the Council has unanimously voted to promote you to Master Slayer. There is a sizable monetary compensation that goes along with that as well, but I know that isn’t why you do what you do.”
Bette just looked at her in a state of shock. She was new to the ‘business’ but she knew that it took a long time for a slayer to be given a position of authority.
“Uh, Peggy, that’s quite an honor but I don’t know that I’ve earned that in my relatively short time as…”
Peggy interrupted her. “Bette, Bette. It’s not quantity of time that makes a master, its quality. In your short tenure, you have eradicated more vampires that were a danger to our community than five or six slayers I can name; put together.”
Bette was silent for a moment, trying to take in what she had just been told.
Peggy…I…what I was going to tell you was that…well, I’m thinking about quitting all together. I’m spending way too much time away from my family and I enjoy what I’m doing but it’s coming at the expense of my home life and nothing is more important to me than Tina and Angie.”
Peggy could hear the emotion in Bette’s voice and got out of her seat, moving closer to her slayer.
“I know how much they mean to you, Bette. Your new position would be more flexible in terms of hours. You could still be a slayer and you would be able to have more time at home. And as for the gallery; I think you and I can definitely give James more responsibilities around here.”

just like being with a cop, i could never marry one…but thats just me and this is love forever Tibette
Well this is quite the pickle that Tina has gotten herself into. I see why Bette would be so pset w/ Tina keeping this importatnt from her for three years. At least if she had told Bette earlier maybe Bette could’ve not become the slayer, but to drop this bomd three years into a job that Bette loves is just wrong. Hope the TiBette marriage can survive. Welcome Back & PPS!
WOW!!! I sure hope Bette calm’s down and her and Tina talk it out. I can see why Bette would be so upset but she needs to stop and think things out. I just hope Tina can deal with what might happen next. Thank you PPS Great Chapter!!!
I understand both points of view, hopefully they can come to an agreement or a compromise. Tina is not being selfish, I would feel the same way. She doesn’t want to lose the woman she loves. Bette can train others to be as good but not as passionate about the job as she is. Maybe someone else can catch her fire for the job. She could be a great teacher for slayer’s-in-training. And she could still be at home with her family and not jeopardize their happiness. Great chapter. Thanks for posting.
Oh I hope they sort this out. Love this story. Thank you.
ruined?-my ass! they will work out everything,am I right JBML? :)
Wow what a dilemna, I get Tina’s fear but how in the world has she kept it from Bette for so long? It seems that something must be amiss between them if Bette had no clue but on the other end Bette seems to have embraced the slayer role taking it to a whole new level. How does that happen? Wow I don’t know how they can compromise it is going to the core of both of them. Can’t wait thanks for sharing
Glad you are back.Great chapter.PPS
