The woman could
feel her heart speed up as she frantically looked from left to right
and then behind herself as her feet started to pick up the pace. She
could feel the light mist coat her face as her feet started to stick
to the muddy ground. She felt the books she was holding start to
slip, unable to hold them any longer she let them drop before giving
in and starting to run. A loud growl came from behind her,
surrounding her, she tried to run faster but the muddy ground
prevented it only slowing her down and able-ing her to hear her
attacker coming closer. She ducked behind a mausoleum for cover,
letting out a deep breath that she had been holding, looking over the
edge of the cold building she saw no one. Her body started to relax
as she leaned against the wall trying to catch her breath. Closing
her eyes she tried to calm herself which was cut off as she felt a
strong, muscular had wrap around her throat before throwing her into
the open. The creature stood above her growling as she tried to push
her self back wards until he placed his foot on her chest sending her
completely onto the ground. She tightly shut her eyes as he started
to kneel down.
"Ay Dios mio, por favor…" She cried out as
she felt his fangs start to touch her skin. "olvidar mi…" Her
eyes flew open as she felt the weight that was once crushing her had
suddenly disappeared. She pushed her self up as fast as she could
trying not to slip as she saw the vampire turn to dust. "Ray?"
"Hola.
Tu know your not supposed to be out alone." He said going over to
her where he was greeted by two small arms wrapping around his neck.
"Are you ok?"
"For the moment." He quickly turned around
to see three more vampires standing there watching them. Without
further words he grabbed her hand almost pulling her along with
him.
-------------------------------------------------
KENNEDY
THE VAMPIRE
SLAYER
-------------------------------------------------
"So
this is it." Willow said as Giles and Kennedy stood next to her
looking over the rather large building that was well over 25,000 sq
feet. The bricks were an off putting yellow, creamish color while the
main door looked similar to a moat.
"Err, yes. Come on." He
instructed as he ushered them into the building's main hallway
where swarms of teenagers were yelling and running back an forth. "Oh
bloody hell."
"Mr. Giles." A taller, dark complected woman
greeted as she appeared as if out of nowhere from behind them.
"Miss.
Reys, wonderful to see you again. This is Kennedy, the new
slayer."
"Ahh, yes." Miss. Reys let out with a sigh as she
started to circle the young woman making Willow fidget noticeably
causing her to be noticed. "And this is…?"
"Willow, she is
the one I was telling you about."
"Ahh, yes, yes. No need to
go into details. Well you two will be very welcomed here. Kennedy
your class schedule is in your room already."
"Yo wait. I
thought me being the chosen on..…few, meant no more school."
"Oh,
no miss. Rodriguez you must finish your school. Ahh here are two of
our best now." The woman continued on as she pulled two young woman
to the side.
"Nikki, Jennifer this is Kennedy and Willow. They
are new and will be a great help to us." Kennedy looked between the
two woman and then her eyes fell on Jennifer who seemed to be looking
intensely at Willow who was looking at her the same way. "Jennifer
I would like you to take Willow around show her the books and things
and then to her room. Nikki take Miss. Rodriguez around show her the
gym and things. While Mr. Giles I would love to have a chat with you,
yes?"
'Errm yes." He said clearing his throat as he followed
her and Willow went following Jennifer before Kennedy could say
anything.
---------------------------------------------------------
"So
this is the class rooms, and there's another one." Willow looked
at the woman questionably before refocusing her eyes back on the
floor. "Sorry there's not really a lot down here. First two
floors are class rooms. Third floor is for training and things then
the rest are for board."
"An--and magic there's---"
"Shhh!"
The darker woman let out as she nervously looked around. "Sorry.
It's just this is Brazil, magic is not really talked about. You
know catholic central we actually go to church as a class."
"So…so
there's no magic?"
"Well…there is when called for. Umm,
the needing of a portal, a demon who is to strong those types of
things other wise it is not talked about."
"Oh. Well this is
going to be interesting." The rest of the walk was quite as the
witch fell into her thoughts. After all she had just done a major
spell and nothing had happened, she had done something she never
thought she could do again and now here she was actually being forced
not to, even to try any more. Willow slightly turned her focus on the
young woman walking next to her, she seemed simple enough with a knee
length black skirt and a matching black tank top which showed off her
muscular arms. Soon Jennifer noticed her admirer as she turned and
smiled slightly giving the witch a chance to see her beautiful dark,
brown eyes that mirrored her hair which went perfect with her light
complexion. "So what is it that you do?"
"M-me? I just
umm….help with the research and things. I can't fight and being a
watcher doesn't really interest me so I just…what?" She asked
as her cheeks began to turn red making Willow start to laugh at how
much the girl reminded her of herself when she was younger all though
she couldn't help but notice the girl was much more filled out then
she was. "Oh! Library!" The two walked through the large wooden
that hid the thousands of books and more importantly two young guys
throwing each other around. "Luis! Ramon!" She yelled as she
dropped the books she had been carrying and ran to them.
"What
the hell are you doing with him?!" The shorter boy yelled as he
pushed himself off the other and went to her.
"I wasn't! I
was walking and a vampire---"
"You and that magic!" Willow
looked between the two and then back down to the guy on the ground
who was trying to get up and not pay attention to the blood sliding
down his face from a small cut next to his eye. "It's going to
get you killed!" He finished before starting to storm out till he
reached the door, turning around. "Y tu vaca do best to stay away
from my sister."
"This isn't Chicago Luis, you don't scare
me." Ramon bit out through his heavy accent as he took a few steps
forward where the young girl placed a hand on his chest.
"Luis!
No." Willow took a few steps back bumping into the counter stopping
her from removing herself completely from the situation. He looked
from his sister to the guy she was holding and then to the red head
who looked a tad bit scared before forcing out a breath and walking
out leaving the three looking at each other.
--------------------------------------------
"Yeah,
this is the people. This is the class rooms and here's the gym."
She said pulling them to a halt looking at a large glass door that
showed a huge room where the floor was mostly covered in blue mats
only not covering about two feet in each direction separating the
mats and the bleachers. "Don't worry your supposed to be a big
deal so you'll only have about twenty minuets in each class except
for training in witch it's two hours. Your able to miss classes
only if you can prove that it was a slayer duty. Classes you can't
miss are mass, and training other wise known as gym."
"Wow."
Kennedy said to herself only seeming to anger the other woman who was
running her hand through her medium brown, high lighted hair as she
rolled her bright blue eyes.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"What
you think that just cause you were with the slayer that makes you
special or something?" She asked not even trying to hide her anger
as she got closer to Kennedy chewed her gum even louder.
"Well
I'm not as special as you who needs to take a short bus here
everyday." Kennedy bit back as she pulled open the door. "And by
the way, your not the only one with a tongue ring. It doesn't
impress me so there's no need to show it." Nikki stared at the
door that was slowly closing behind Kennedy.
"I wasn't trying
to impress you."
"So you just naturally chew like a pig?"
She asked turning back around.
"Did you call me a pig?"
"Fine
cow? Pick a barn yard animal, which ever you
like."
-------------------------------------------------------
"Thank
you." Giles said taking a steaming cup of tea from the dark
complected woman who leaned against her desk shooting him a
disapproving look. "Is there something…?"
"Willow…?"
"Erm,
yes?"
"Is…is she necessary to be here?"
"I think she
will be a big help here and her and Kennedy do come as a how do they
say now…..err, package?"
"Package? Ah yes, that we can deal
with, the magic is….well that is a deferent story." She continued
in a calm tone as she placed her cup down and walked around her desk,
taking a seat. "The people who deal with our magic are…unknown,
kept quiet. Those who are known to do it have been hushed."
"Are
you saying Willow is not welcome here?" He asked, reaching across,
placing his cup next to hers before standing up. "Erm…" He
sighed as he removed his glasses. "Because that may be a bit of a
problem."
"This…witch dose not have a great back ground in
control not to mention---"
"Ok! No!" Kennedy yelled as she
stormed in and went to slam the door that was flung back open with
Nikki right behind her. "I'm not staying here with this she
beast!!"
"Who you calling she beast you daiquiri!" She said
getting up into Kennedy's face and pushing her back into the
hall.
"Did you just call me a delinquent?" The new slayer
asked as she pushed Nikki back who only seemed to react more by
slapping her.
"Bastante! Enough!" Miss. Reys yelled as she
pulled the older woman back and pushing her into her office while
Giles helped and more importantly held back Kennedy.
"Are you
ok?" Willow asked rushing up to her girlfriend pushing past the
crowd. "What happened?" The witch continued as she brushed a
stray piece of hair from her face. Letting go of her arm Giles looked
over the crowd and then to the more then little displeased
Principle.
------------------------------------------------------
"Baby."
Luis said smiling as he placed a quick kiss on his sister's cheek
before taking a seat next to her and looking over the room full of
people. "Vaca."
"Mr. Agular? As some of you know we have a
new addition to our group, Miss. Rodriguez." She said with a smile
as she gestured to Kennedy who couldn't help but hide the "I'm
loving the attention" look making the fact that Willow was being
ignored a distant thought. "Oh, yes and her friend Willow."
"So
what's the what?" Nikki asked as she eyed Kennedy. "Any new
demon's butt we can kick?"
"Seems the vampire Jennifer got
attacked by last night was part of a how do you American's
call?"
"Group?" Willow blurted out trying desperately to
help and not be the out cast she was being forced to be. And what was
worse was that her once comforting girlfriend wasn't
noticing.
"Gang, Miss. Rosenberg. Any other questions?"
"So
what do we do?" Kennedy asked as she possessively placed her arm
around Willow upon noticing Jennifer hadn't taken her eyes off of
the red head since they entered.
-------------------------------------------------
A loud crash echoed through the dark room as the medal door flung open by a young girl's limp body crashing through and hitting the dusty floor. Soon the room began to fill with echo's again only these were low, deep growls that sent shivers down the girl's spine as her eyes flung open to two large muscular hands wrapping around her neck. Her hand's flew to his face desperately grabbing for anything as her legs kicked wildly until the actions began to slowly dye down and she felt more hands start to feel their way around her body.
-------------------------------------------------------
"Come
on Vaca, show me what you got." Luis said as he moved his head back
and forth repeatedly while he danced around the ring. The men where
different as night and day, Luis stood at 5'10 with a faded hair
cut which made the cut on his left eye brow stand out even more. And
while his skin was light his eyes were so dark almost black only
adding to his unfriendly features, while he weighed more then Ramon
and had more muscle tone.
"You gonna talk all day?" The
taller boy bit back through his thick accent as he hit his gloves
together but stood still. By all means he shouldn't have been in
the ring with him, their weight difference was wide and so much that
it looked as if Justin Timberlake had stepped into the ring with
Oscar de la Hoya. He started to move right letting the light hit his
deep, green eyes that almost sparkled and looked perfect fitting his
light skin, and light brown, spiky hair. Luis lightly threw a few
jabs his way while he continued to dance around as he saw his sister
walk in causing the smaller boy to look away giving Luis the perfect
opportunity but instead he eased back and continued to throw
powerless jabs his way. Shooting a quick smile at Jennifer before he
began throwing punches as hard as he could but none the less
ineffective. After a few minutes of cat and mouse Luis pushed the boy
away with his left hand as he hit him with his right, easily knocking
him down. A smile spread across his face after he spit out his mouth
peace and then bent over slightly.
"Last time I'm telling you
vaca, stay away from my sister, or next time you'll need help to
get up."
"Por que?" His sister asked as he stepped out of
the ring.
"Por que,
nada."
-----------------------------------------------------
Kennedy slowly walked through the abandoned warehouse looking at every nook and cranny she could see in the dark. One step at a time she felt her way around and even though she would never admit she was beginning to regret refusing Nikki to come with her. True she was only about 20 or 30 feet away from the door, but the cold, dark room added by the loud thunder that happened every few minuets made it seem as if she'd been walking for hours. "Good job Kenn." She said to herself as she turned around and began walking in the direction she thought the door was but only to trip and fall over something. Taking a few deep breaths she put her hands to the floor and began feeling around for the cause, not more then ten seconds later she found what she was looking for, a limp body. Before she could feel for a pulse an angry growl filled the space and a large body was covering hers. She used her free leg to knee him in the side a few times until his grip around her throat tightened so much she began to loss conscious.
------------------------------------------------
"So…you…do
magic?" Willow asked softly as she walked up to Jennifer who was
walking down the long empty hall.
"N--n--no. Wh--where did you
hear that?" She struggled to get out as she began to turn red
making Willow think a little about Tara.
"Sorry it's just
this morning I---"
"What's the point?" She asked doing a
complete 360 almost knocking the witch down.
"No-nothing I was
just…..up until a month or so ago I never thought I could not do it
again and Kennedy helped me to…."
"Then why don't you
harass her about this?" She bit back as she began walking again
while trying to keep up her angry attitude but Willow could see it
was more of a scared look then anything. "I--I'm sorry. Magic is
not a popular thing here, it is a pretty banned thing around
here…..it must be lonely?"
"What?"
"Your like an icon
to magical…people. I know a little bout what happened."
"What?"
The red head repeated as she began to blush and relax as Jennifer's
tone softened.
"Really. I'm sorry it's just for so long
I've been the only one…."
"I get that…believe me."
Willow whispered as she placed her hand on her arm comfortingly.
--------------------------------------------------
Kennedy pushed herself up off the ground trying to ignore the pain in her arm and the blood leaking down to her hand. The young slayer began crawling unable to fully stand up. Once again a low growl filled her ears making her try and crawl faster until her body was flying backwards and into the wall. Again she tried to get up but her head was slammed against the wall. The person above her knelt down and leaned into her ear.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Come
on." Miss. Reys ordered as she stormed into the library where the
group sat. "I said now!" She repeated this time making the group
stand up.
"Por que?"
"The police just found eight bodies
at the shoe factory."
"And?" Nikki asked as she came out of
the office. "That sounds like a normal---Kennedy?"
"Si."
------------------------------------------------------
By
the time the group reached the hospital room Kennedy was already
putting on her jacket. Willow started to go forward but was quickly
stopped by Miss. Reys grabbing her arm slightly which didn't go
over to well as she jerked away but stayed where she was.
"Miss.
Rodriguez, are you ok dear?"
"It's Kennedy and yeah. No
worries I know where they are." She continued as she started to
walk forward while her eyes stayed on Willow who avoided her gaze.
"Are you sure? I would--"
"I don't know how you guys
do things, but in Sunnydale we don't stop fighting till the demons
dead. We don't take a brake cause we're a little tired."
"And
apparently you guys can't fight a little vampire on your own
either." Nikki said with a smile that almost seemed to be playful
instead of insulting.
"Well ok." Miss. Reys said looking in
between the two a bit taken back by Kennedy's comment. "Willow,
Miss. Agular get to the morgue and see if any have been turned. Miss.
Rodriguez, Miss. Ramos, Mr. Agular take care of the problem."
"And
me?" Ray asked softly as her leaned against the door frame.
"Tu
vaca, can go back home."
"Mr. Agular! Ramon you will escort me
back to the house. In my age I need some assistance, do not let my
Demi moor looks full you." She joked making everyone smile with the
exception of Willow, as she and the young boy made their way out.
----------------------------------------------
"So did
you do this much before?" Jennifer asked as her feet swung back and
forth along with Willow's as they sat on the autopsy table, each
with a stake in hand.
"Yeah. Well when I was younger I mean,
once I came into my powers I sort of got bumped up to better
duties."
"So…tell me."
"Ah..tell you what?"
"You
and Tara?"
"Excuse me?" The witch asked almost falling off
in shock making the young woman look a bit scared.
"No. The
power, the…magic. You are so powerful, every girl here should be
thanking you for…it's amazing. What was it like???"
"Umm…"
"I'm
sorry it's just these girls would love to meet Buffy or Faith.
Potential watchers would love to meet Giles. And then there's me
alone in magic vill that would love to meet you." As she finished
the girl turned away hiding her face making Willow smile at the fact
that only a hour or so ago she was yelling at her for asking her
about magic and now she was treating her like a celebrity. And a
little at the fact that she had made the woman blush at lest ten
times in 15 hours which was more then she had ever done to anyone
else. She intently watched the girls lips as she continued to talk
although she didn't hear a word.
"So--sorry what?"
"I
was asking if Kennedy is into magic?"
"Oh! Uh, no. Nope no
magic for Kennedy….my girlfriend." She stammered out realizing
she hadn't thought about her girlfriend in a while.
"No
wonder Miss. Reys doesn't like you."
"Ahh, so it's not
just me."
"Nope. I like her and I'll miss her but I can't
wait to return."
"Return?"
"Oh, yea me and my brother
are from Chicago. Nikki is from New York. Actually the only real
Brazilian here is Ray and Miss. Reys." Willow opened her mouth to
say something but was cut off as the body the were facing began to
arise. "Umm….now what?"
"Pointy end through
heart."
---------------------------------------------
Luis
found himself on the ground next to Kennedy while Nikki fought wildly
in front of them. Kennedy was the first back up dogging a kick and
then a punch before she shoved the stake threw his heart and then
threw it into the vampire that was attacking the boy.
"Wow
Luis, I see it's only Ray you can bet in a fight."
"Shut
up."
"No really I get it."
"You two are annoying."
Kennedy said with a straight face making the two turn to her until a
smile slowly crept onto each of their faces. "So now what?"
"You
go play house with your girlfriend while we go and party." She
yelled happily as she jumped onto him.
"Ay Dios
mio."
----------------------------------
The six
young people walked behind Miss. Reys as the school kids ran by them,
screaming, yelling and fighting. Kennedy had her arm wrapped around
Willow's waist while Jennifer stood next to her looking over every
few seconds or so. Ramon trailed behind while Luis and Nikki took
front of the group.
"Are you even listening?"
'Yes."
They all said together while they all had the same look on their
faces.
"I bet you are. Kennedy, Nikki training. Jennifer, Willow
library. Luis my office." She ordered as she began walking in
another direction thinking they were following. "So Kennedy do
you….?" She trailed off as she turned and saw the six laughing as
they kept going straight and waved at her with once again the
exception of Willow. "El mundo es doomed." She whispered and
laughed to herself as continued to walk.
