Disclaimer: hello people um... nothing has changed I still don't own the Buffy characters. If you've read my other stories you'll notice somethin'.
Quick note: I hope ya like the story. Just thought I'd post a quick first chapter. Let me know if I should stop this now or keep it movin'. Here's my latest story. Enjoy.
Kennedy POV.
So I'm a potential slayer. That's sucks I know. I've known what I was for a few years now. Some dude named Rupert Giles just came to my watcher/step-mom's door saying things about something called 'the first evil' and how its trying to wipe out the slayer line. Well that's interesting. Now he wants to take me to California to live and be protected by the original slayer. Buffy summers. I haven't met her and I do not like her. I've heard about her from my watcher. About how she's not like any of the other slayers to live and all that good stuff. I know who cares right. I mean she's not even the official slayer. My sister is. But then again she is rogue. Faith Lehane. Now there's a story step-mommy doesn't like to tell. She hates Faith. Its all good though. The feeling is mutual. You know I heard that when she turned herself in she went under our grandfather's last name. I mean its amazing they didn't recognize her. She is the oldest 'Lehane princess' as daddy puts it. Yeah we're like royalty up here in the north. Me, Faith, Braden, and Bradley. hm. I wonder if Rupert is still talking.
"...of course with Buffy being the slayer she'll be able to keep..." ok he's still talking. I wonder sometimes if things would have been different if Faith lived with me, dad, and the boys full time would she have been different. I mean she was only with us 2-6 days every month so she doesn't really know what its like to have stability. Sure she was at every press conference with us and publicized family day out but other than that we barely saw her. Daddy couldn't get custody of her. Our mother was not a good role model. She constantly drank and slept around but she was able to retain legal custody of Faith. Dammit why do I keep calling her that! Her name is Kendall. Maybe that's how she was able to get away with being booked with a fake name. Well semi fake anyway. Faith is her middle name. Wilkins is grandpa's last name. Soooo...it is sorta kinda her name. In away. When she wrote me she said she didn't use Lehane because she knew it'd draw a lot of publicity and taint the family name. She was right about the publicity part. She couldn't taint the family name. We wouldn't care. We love her unconditionally but I don't think she gets that. I hear my daddy sigh.
"Kennedy?"
"yeah?"
"go pack up your stuff you-"
"nu-uh. I'm not leaving."
"Kennedy"
"mom." my step mom is the closest thing to a mom I've had. So her name is mom to me.
"hear your father out. Please. Boys! Get in here now!" the twins come rushing in.
"mom? What? What is it?" Braden asks.
"boys, you and your sister will be moving to sunnydale California Now before you say anything, brad and bray, you two will be in a hotel room. Kennedy you will stay with Buffy until your sister arrives. Then the three of you will move into an apartment with her. Boys you're going to keep them safe. Right?"
"yes sir. But daddy why do we gotta move?" Braden asks. "we don't wanna move. Our life is here."
"actually your life is in danger here. There you will be protected."
"mommy say what?" brad asks.
"the slayer line is being threatened. 'the first evil' as mr. Giles put it is trying to end the slayer line. Along with Buffy and your sister you two are in charge of keeping yourselves and Kennedy safe." mom replies.
"but mom what does the slayer line have to do with us? And did you say Kendall is coming? Really? When?" brad is really excited about that part.
"actually nothing. I just figured you two wouldn't want both of your sisters across country. And yes your sister will be there in a few days at most. She's...taking care of a few things." daddy says.
"so she's...?" bray trails off and lets the question hang.
"yep.. she is. Now you three go get packed. Go on now!" mom says and the three of us make our way upstairs to our rooms to pack up. Well here goes.
A few days later in LA.
Willow POV.
So I just helped restore Angel's soul and had a heart to heart with Faith all in the same day. Go me. She's actually sorta nice. She apologized and I forgave her. It was kinda easy. Especially after she told me a few things. Who would have ever thought the mayor was her grandfather. This girl would do anything for her family. Its pretty obvious. A family member came to her and she helped him. Even though it was wrong. She was never really going to hurt us. I see that now. If she wanted too she would have. I mean sure she held a knife to my throat but I see now she didn't want me dead. If she did well there'd be no more willow. Also I found out that her little sister is my new girlfriend, who is living at the summer's home for now. She asked me not to tell anybody. I look over at Faith leaning over the reception desk at here at AI.
"hey Cordy!" she yells. I was there when she apologized to her and Wesley. Cordelia forgave her then and Wesley is in the process. So everything will be good here. Although her buddies Gunn and Fred are really sad to see her go. Lorne actually cried.
"what Faith?" Cordy asks walking around the counter to hug her good bye. We are on our way out.
"so when this is all over what do ya say we go out have some fun?"
"sure. I'd love to hang out with you if you make it back."
"when Cordy. When I make it back. I'll be back that's a promise."
"don't make promises you can't keep."
"i wouldn't." she then leans over and whispers something in Cordelia's ear and Cordy...blushes? That's Faith for you. Always saying something to make you turn pretty colors. They finally separate and Faith goes around hugging everyone else and saying goodbye. We finally make it out of the office and to the car. I turn to look at Faith and she gives me a small smile before I say:
"well Faith, were on our way home. You ready?"
"as I'll ever be Red." we drive in comfortable silence before she speaks up again. "so how is Kennedy?"
"she's good. Incredibly sweet. Well to me anyway. She doesn't really care for Buffy."
"yeah I know. Our step mom was also Kenn's watcher and she went on and on about B. Kennedy told me shortly after I got here that she really disliked her."
"so why is it I don't recognize you from all those press conferences?"
"cus I haven't been to one since I was 14. I look a lot different. A lot hotter." she says with a wiggle of her eye brows.
"you know you guys have a really attractive family. I met your brothers nice kids but Braden doesn't really like Buffy either."
"sounds bout right. Brad likes anybody and everybody. He's a real sweet kid." she's right. He really is. Braden is really blunt as is Kennedy. But she's my baby.
"so. Can I call you Kendall?"
"sure. Just not around anybody." we share a smile.
"tell me something about your family." she thinks for a minute.
"somethin' bout my family... me, brad, bray, and Kenn all have the exact same birthday."
"huh?"
"I'm the oldest. Then Kennedy is two years younger and the twins are two years younger than her. No lie we all have the same birthday."
"so you are how old?" she looks at her watch.
"for the next two days I'm 19." I almost swerve off the road. I'm dating a minor! Oh my goodness!
"so your sister is only 17?!" I thought she was 18.
"calm ya nerves Red. Don't pop a brain cell with all the math. Have you two done the nasty?"
"of course not! We've only kissed twice!"
"well then what ya yappin' bout. You just gotta wait two more days before ya do anything else." she chuckles at my expression. Wait I always though she was the same age as us.
"wait I thought you were our age."
"'pears ya thought wrong Red. I honestly don't remember any of you really askin' me my age." she's right. We spend the rest of the trip talking. We start to quiet down when we see the welcome to sunnydale sign. She looks over at me. The boys should be at Buffy's by now so when we get there she can get them and get to their apartment. Wouldn't you know its down the hall from the one the mayor gave her. A few minutes later we are pulling into the summer's drive way. She sighs and gets out after I do. We walk through the door and I feel the tension coming off of Xander, Buffy, Giles, and dawn. She just shakes her head. And I call out.
"Kennedy! Bray! Brad! She's here!" they come rushing down from upstairs. Bray must have brought his x box and set it up in my room. Faith sees them and her smile gets brighter.
"hey guys go get your stuff so we can go." she says and Buffy stands up.
"they aren't going anywhere with you." Faith raises an eye brow and puts her hand up to Kennedy and Braden
"don't guys go get your stuff." Buffy is persistent.
"i can't let them leave with you! You're a murderer!" Faith takes a deep breath.
"no Buffy I'm their sister." Faith pulls out her ID. "see Kendall Lehane. Now, guys lets go. Red I'll catch ya later." I nod at her and kiss Kennedy's forehead. Oh yeah me and her are having a talk tomorrow.
"wait," I say. "let me give you guys a ride. Its getting dark out." she nods at me and we all make our way out the door with Kennedy, Faith, and Braden all calling window seats. Poor Brad he's in the middle.
So there is chapter one. What do you think? Do I stop or do I go? R & R please.
