Willow sat in the middle of the floor across from Jennifer their hands interlocked, as they quietly whispered the same word repeatedly as soon a bright light started to surround them. A small smile came across the younger woman's face but her eyes remained tightly shut. The light that began to encircle them started to move faster as there words became louder. Suddenly a loud pounding came on the door causing their eyes to shoot open, and them to brake apart.
"What is wrong with the door?" Kennedy asked as she walked in, completely focused on the door making her oblivious to the fact that their new "friend" was there. "Baby have you---" She paused upon seeing the two woman both strangely out of breath with a scared look on their faces. Jennifer looked between the two before quickly pushing herself off the ground and almost running past the new slayer.
"H--how was class?" The witch asked as she put on a smile while her hands idly played with the hem of her shirt, while trying not to look away from her girlfriend who just stood there with a blank look for a few seconds, although to her it seemed to be an eternity, until she cleared her throat and shut the door she had been holding open.

KENNEDY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
-------------------------------------------------

"Hey baby." Willow greeted again this time more cheerful as she made her way over to Kennedy and placed a quick kiss on her lips before she started towards the bed but was quickly pulled back into the young slayer's strong embrace as she started a passionate kiss. "hmmm…"
"Yeah?" She let out softly, in a some what cocky tone with there lips only inches apart.
"Wh--what was that for?"
"To show you I …care."
"Possessive much?" The witch asked playfully as she walked backwards toward the bed leading the brunette along with her.
"When it comes to you? Yeah." Kennedy stayed standing above the bed where Willow was now laying half on and half off, looking right back up at her. With a small smile as she dropped down to her knees where she pulled her girlfriend up so she was sitting. "I wanna talk to you."
"O--ok."

--------------------------------------------------------

A loud moan of ecstasy filled the dark, messy room. Clothes were tossed wildly over the floor and dresser that was facing the bed which was placed in the middle of the room that now had Nikki sitting on top of Luis with only a small red, lacy bra and a red silk sheet covering them. A smile cover his lips as his eyes shut and he pushed his head back against the pillow while his hands resting on her hips. "You. Are. Amazing."
"I know." Nikki let out as serious as she could while she rolled off him and the bed completely, rushing to get her jeans off the floor. "Come on, Miss. Hell Raiser and her new little Kennedy spawn are probably waiting."
"Can't we just stay here." He added with a devious smile while he held the sheet to himself as he stumbled after her.
"Look your cute. I'm hot. We're meant to have fun. Party, fighting, more partying and then well what we just did but that's it."
"What? You think I was asking you to marry me?" Luis asked this time all traces of calmness, and niceness suddenly missing. With a cool smile she went over to the dresser where a small mirror hung, as she fixed her hair she watched the young man throw on a pair of black cargo paints and a white, sleeveless, tee shirt, before coming up behind her. He roughly pulled her into him. "You mistake my politeness for weakness. And believe me, going and spending time with Kennedy is going to be a hell of a lot more fun then last night with you." His stated coldly before placing a quick, ruff kiss on her cheek before walking out the door.
"Bone head!" She yelled as she threw her hair brush at the door just as it shut behind him.

----------------------------------------------------

"And we're sure she's a SIT?" Miss. Reys asked as she walked down the hall rushing past the crowds, as she juggled her brief case and her small silver phone. "No. I'm not questioning you, I was just asking." She pushed open the library doors to find Luis, Jennifer, Nikki and Ray all sitting at the middle table joking about something, this not including Ray who had his head buried in a book. "Are we sure these could be….? Mr. Lee with all do respect there is no need to get angry."
"Mr. Lee? Would that be Mr. Hell Raiser?" Nikki whispered into Luis's ear as she leaned over slightly while she rested her hand on his knee.
"If it was do you think she'd be this grouchy all the time?"
"Hmmm, Willow has a girlfriend and she's bitchy all the time. Well with Kennedy as a girlfriend it's no wonder."
"You've known them for a week." Jennifer said defensively making her brother stair at her questionably while Nikki seemed to get ready to fight with the smaller girl until they suddenly heard a loud slam coming from Miss. Reys hitting her phone on the counter.
"We have a problem. Jennifer get Kennedy and Willow."
"I…I..I don't think I am the best choice to get them." The young witch said almost tripping over her own words as thoughts of an hour ago came rushing back. Sure she liked spending time with Willow and having a magic buddy was great but Kennedy had a tendency to scare her.
"Get them, we have more….never mind just get Willow, you two and Ramon do some more research on the Bringers."
"Bringers?"
"Yeah seems our little eyes less friends are back."
"Dose this mean the First is back?" Luis asked as Miss. Reys began walking around the table making the group shift uneasily. "Cause you know if it, is it's knida cool." He continued with a smile making the group turn to him. "Well Kennedy and Willow already kicked his ass---"
"Language Mr. Agular."
"Sorry. Culo?" Luis joked making the group laugh even Ramon although she still didn't appreciate it as she put her hand firmly on his shoulder.
"I think we get it."

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Kennedy is everything ok?" Willow asked nervously as she turned slightly so she could look at the young slayer next to her. Looking over to the clock the read 3:15pm, noticing it had been almost 45 minutes since her girlfriend had tried to tell her what ever it was on her mind. Once again Kennedy took a deep breath and opened her mouth to speak but yet again nothing came out. "Sweetie? Not that I don't love spending time with you but we've been sitting her for a while and I…kind of have to pee."
"Oh. Go pee." As the words came out both looked at each other questionably before the red head got up and started toward the door until she felt her hand being pulled back. "Look I know since we got here we haven't been exactly as close as we were in Sunnydale."
"Well you know new place and…"
"No Willow I need you to listen. See I know I been a bit distant but my feelings haven't changed, have yours?"
"N-no." Willow said as her smile faded and she took Kennedy's other hand in her own seeing this was more then "your in trouble for this morning" talks.
"See my life has change so much since being with you it's not even funny. A lot of experiences that I never thought I would go through. Feelings I never thought I'd feel. Some I whish didn't happen…" The witches face fell even further as the memories came back to her. Turning into Warren. Pointing a gun at her. Sucking the life out of her and then of course the fight slash brake down she had before coming here. "But it doesn't really matter because when I'm with you it's…" She trailed off as she put on a small smile and reached into her pocket, pulling out a small black, silky box. "I had this whole thing planed with, candles and music and everything on our one year anniversary but I couldn't wait." Willow smiled as she took the box not really sure what to expect. Opening the lid she found a beautiful gold ring, pulling it out with a smile as Kennedy took the box and threw it behind her making a bit of a thump. Looking inside the ring read an inscription. "Mi amor, para siempre" She finished reading as she turned the ring completely around but the smile had quickly faded making Kennedy follow suite. "I--is there something wrong?"
"Kennedy I can't take this. I---I'm so sorry."
"No it's ok I have enough to pay for it." She said as she tightly held the ring that was just given back to her. She could feel her heart speed up even more as tears started to make there way to her eyes.
"You…know th--that's not why." Willow's eyes fell to the floor unable to look at the young girl's heart broken face. "I'm so ---" She started while her hand went to Kennedy's face who jerked away. "Kenn, please I still want to.." The both turned to the door where Jennifer shyly walked in.
"Sorry I knocked but no one answered."
"So the logical thought was to open the door?" Kennedy asked as she shut her eyes tightly for a minute to hold back tears before taking a step towards Willow who looked as if she wanted to run and hide. "I'll talk to Miss. Reys about getting another room." She finished as she slammed the ring on the night stand before walking past Jennifer who held the door open.
"D-did I cause that?"
"No. I did."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Chanting filled the dark, cave like room as seven hooded figured stood around a small table that had a five point star drawn in white paint on top of a black surface. Whimpers of pain filled the room as the seven continued on until one slowly turned around and walked the short distance over to the closest chained and hooded women. Simply he raised a knife to the throat and in one swift motion the whimpering had stopped. Walking back to the table where the others where still in meditation he traced the knife over the once white star and then seconds later the one across from him took the knife, cutting his own hand letting the blood fall on to the symbol before passing it on to his fellow members who followed his actions.

----------------------------------------------------------------

"Don't you think we should of went with her?" Luis asked as he shoved his hands into his coat pockets as Nikki stood in front of him out side the hospital.
"Can't get your mind off her huh?"
"Nik, I'm being serious. She seemed pretty upset and with the bringers back she's the first…"
"Let it go…hey that's him." She said as she jogged to catch up to the paramedic walking towards his car.
"Yo. Yo!" Luis yelled as he placed a hand on his shoulder getting him to stop.
"Desculpe-me? está aí um problema?"
"Do you speak English?" She asked and quickly got her answer as he looked between the two. "Spanish?"
"eu só falo português há as pessoas dentro de que falam inglês se deve ajudar."
"Where's the Vaca, when you need him?" Luis asked as he looked around in annoyance. "The. Girl." He started as he pointed at Nikki. "Dead."
"A menina jovem de hoje de manhã? "
"Yeah, sure. Where did you find her?" He continued to talk slowly and over annunciate the words making the girl next to him start laughing.
"Sou brasileiro não desafiado."
"Did he just insult me?"
"Do I know Portuguese? I'm lucky I can speak Spanish as well as I can."
"A menina foi achada com o outros. A polícia são supostas observar aí mas faltam. Por que você pedem? Sabe algo?"
"All I got was others, why, and police." Nikki said as she continued to flirtatiously smile at the paramedic who wasn't buying it. "I think he's getting mad."
"Oficial! Polícia! Assassinos! Aqui ajude!" He yelled as loud as he could to the two officers walking toward them.
"Nik, run." He ordered as he grabbed her hand, pulling her along with him.
"Parada! Agora! Mando-o!" The police yelled as they began to run after the two.
"Luis meet me where we're supposed to meet Kennedy."
"Alright." He agreed as they both turned their separate ways.

----------------------------------------------------------

"You ok?" Jennifer asked Willow softly as they flipped through books while there were still tones all over the table which made her think so much of her days in Sunnydale.
"Yeah. No. I don't know."
"I'm sorry if this morning…"
"No. It's not you. Not really I…it's me." She said getting up and walking over to the shelf's where they couldn't see. Leaning against the shelf she reached into her pocket and pulled out the ring. Causing tears to play at the corner of her eyes. Thoughts of Tara and Kennedy came rushing to her. No thoughts of Oz, that chapter of her life was done. She knew that she had feelings for him but looking back now she knew it wasn't really love, just like Xander. The emotions were strong and intoxicating but not love while she had no doubt it was with Tara. When she meat Tara she'd thought there'd never be another, that if Tara was gone so was she but yet she made it and here she was. In a new place with a new girlfriend who was absolutely amazing and everything she could want and need, so why was it so hard. A stray tear fell as her hand that held the ring went to her heart.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Is everything ok?" Ray asked as he took a book from Miss. Reys.
"Something between Kennedy and her. She was---" They all turned to Luis and Nikki who rushed in the door.
"Kennedy is….well we don't know. We waited for over an hour, we even looked over the graves, nada."
"She's in trouble." Willow said in a plain tone as she walked out making the two soaking wet new comers jump.
"Alright we'll go out full force…"
"There's no point. It's rain like crazy out there, any trace of her is gone. We searched around and nothing. Not to mention I think we in trouble with the police."
"What? I left you three along for three hours. How could you get in so much trouble?" Miss. Reys asked as her eyes never left Willow who was looking down at the ground as if it drew a map to her girlfriends.

----------------------------------------------

Two of the hooded men dragged a limp body over the dusty ground, passing the long row of chained women. The two easily picked her up, placing her on the wall before placing a black cloth around her eyes.
