So with out further adieu...
The Price You Pay
Chapter 1: Revenge
All Kennedy could think about was all the sacrifices made in the last fight with the "First". Anya, Vi, Amanda, Caridad, and many other potentials who were dead could have been slayers right now. She looked around and saw about twelve other current slayers, not counting her and the Scooby gang.
Right now all she wanted to do was cry, but then she realized something about Willow. All her life's belongings and memories were in Sunnydale, including Tara's grave. Kennedy knew that right now she was giving will some space because of the spell, but God, she didn't even realize that it went deeper than that.
'I have to be strong for her now more than ever' she thought. 'I can't show any weaknesses to her.' She decided to get up and go to her goddess who was quietly talking to Buffy. She stopped a couple feet away to get her nerves up to tap Willow's shoulder. She finally did and closed the distance between Willow and her. When she got there she tapped on Willow's shoulder. Willow quickly turned and looked up at Kennedy with tears in her eyes.
"Oh, baby..."was all Kennedy could say as she cupped Willow's cheek. Willow responded by closing her eyes and leaning into he slayer's hand. It was like time froze for this precious moment between the witch and her slayer. The whole world faded away. Kennedy was frozen just looking at every contour of Willow's sweet face. Willow was frozen with the feeling of comfort and the understanding of her girlfriend. "My kite string..."Willow then whispered.
Then all of a sudden Kennedy felt a horrible pain. The moment was gone as Kennedy lifted her hand to the source of her pain, her back. Then looked at the color at which it brought back. The read color of blood was covering her hand. Kennedy felt a wave of dizziness hit her and all she could say was "Must have not felt that one..." as she fainted and fell back into the seat across from Willow with a thud.
"I sense her power. I feel her anger and sadness." Said the warlock with a satisfied smile to his little follower. "Is it time yet? Have you found her for real this time Keru?" The warlock who had his back turned now turned to speak to Tai.
"How dare you persist me with your damn impatience? Have I taught you nothing? I had to wait till all her memories came back in a time of grievance. That way we have leverage, especially since she is now a slayer." By this time Tai was cowering away from Keru afraid to be struck like he had oh so many times before.
Tai looked at Keru with fear in his eyes. He started to play with his shirt, a sign that he wasn't sure what to do next. Keru sighed, "Yes Tai, it is time. Now quickly run and get those ingredients I told you about. Then get the motorcycles ready. You know I like to ride in style."Tai nodded quickly and ran out of the room to do Keru's bidding. Keru turned back to what she was looking at. A picture of him and Kennedy when she was seven and he was in his early thirties.
He smiled as the good memories rushed back to him. All the times he bought her toys, stayed up late watching movies, and even when he taught her how to ride a bike. He thought back all the way to when he first adopted her. Life was perfect. Then the teenage years struck. Life was bad then. They got into fights and one got so bad he struck her so hard that he knocked her unconscious. The next day he tried to apologize but lost it right there and raped her. Kennedy was only twelve.
A week later a watcher came and told her that she was a potential and had a destiny to fill. Part of that destiny was to start training in England with her very own watcher. She agreed to go and did, but not before she bound his powers. Now Kennedy knew about Keru's growing hold on the magic's and how he used it for the stupidest things like getting the paper or turning on lights. She was afraid he would go after her again so she bound his powers for her own sake.
That was the worst part in Keru's mind. Magic was all he had besides Kennedy, he live for that thrill. So when she left and bound his powers he had nothing. Through all these years he has thought of ways to get his power back. Which he had now succeeded. Not to mention all the worldly ways of getting revenge.
By then Keru's smile obviously became a murderer's stare as he looked at the young Kennedy. Who only little then brought so much pain to him. He took the picture and threw it against the wall. It shattered on the spot. He walked out into the garage and by then Tai had everything to go. He got on his motorcycle and whispered as they started on the road, "I'm back to my old self again Kenny. Pay backs a bitch and I'm coming to get mine."
