Willow was running around calling out Kennedy's name. Many thoughts
ran through her head. Was she dead, had she been kidnapped or possibly
even raped by some sick man. As that thought ran through her head she
quickly shook it off knowing that there was no one around for miles. Or
was there, was this a vampire's nest? She was so confused and scared not
knowing what to do.
************************************************************************
Willow had first noticed that she was missing when all the girls piled back on the bus. They were all seated and the doors had been closed when Willow went to sit down and noticed that Kennedy wasn't in her usual seat. She looked around and called her name. After getting no results she began to panic. She ran to Buffy and started to stutter.
"I can't find her! Oh God, oh God where is she? Help me Buffy, you gotta help me find her. Where is she? Where is she?" At this point Willow collapsed and began to cry. She curled up in a ball on the floor and cried her heart out. How could this happen to her? After losing Tara, she didn't think that she could stand to lose yet another girlfriend.
Buffy knelt down and help Willow and slowly asked her, "What's wrong Willow? Who's missing? Is it Dawn? DAWN!"
"No, it's not Dawn! It's Kennedy. Why do you always think something's wrong with Dawn? What about the rest of the people in the world? Huh? Do you ever think about them," Willow screamed out in fury.
A second after yelling those horrible things Willow realized what she had said. "I'm sorry Buffy, I'm so sorry." This just made her start crying harder. Buffy tried to comfort her telling her that she would be okay and that they would find Kennedy and they would not leave until they found her.

Kennedy had set up a little camp for herself. She had taken leaves and leaned them against the tree she had stopped at. She found berries to eat even though she knew many of them could make her sick. After having many bad experiences with different bushes she finally found a bush with good berries. This brought up her spirits but she was still very distraught over the fact that she would never see Willow again.
She constantly wondered where they were and how far they had traveled. A small part of her hoped that they had stayed behind and were looking for her but she doubted this. She felt as is no one in that group wanted her around and never accepted her. She thought that maybe she was just Willow's rebound girlfriend. She had needed someone after Tara died and Kennedy was the most convenient lesbian around. She already knew about evil and all of the secrets that they had.
She spent three days in this condition. Sleeping on leaves every night and crying herself to sleep. Everyday pretty much went the same way. She would wake up every morning feeling sore and her stomach growling from deprivation of food. The first day she found a little creek with water in it. Not the clearest water and probably not good for her but she had no other choice. The next day she found a berry bush and quickly ate as many as she could stuff in her mouth. An hour later she threw up all that she had eaten and she was feeling horrible. Later that day she found a berry bush that didn't make her sick and things were starting to look up until the third day. She tripped over a rock and she landed on top of her rock creating a huge gash on her stomach. There was blood everywhere and she didn't know what to do. She just kept her clothes on and kept on going. The third night she lied down to sleep and was so tired and sore she didn't even bother crying.
************************************************************************
That same night Dawn had gotten bored and decided to go check out the surroundings of the small abandoned building. She noticed the small path and aimlessly hiked up the path wondering where it ended. She hiked for about an hour when she noticed a body lying near a tree. Her first thought was that it was dead and than she saw it move. She slowly crept closer and noticed that it was Kennedy and she was covered in blood. Dawn was so frightened she just turned around and fled. She didn't know what to do or what had happened to Kennedy. Her first thought was that she had been attacked.
Once Dawn got back to the bus she started frantically yelling, " Willow! Buffy! I found her, I found her! Something's wrong with her, she's covered in blood. I didn't know what to do so I just left her. You gotta go help her Willow! Now!"
"Calm down Dawnie. Hell what am I saying? Where is she?" Willow began to yell.
"Follow me, it's this way," Dawn said as they were running, "I was just going for a walk and exploring when I found her. I think she's sleeping I don't know. She was just lying there but she's breathing."
Willow spotted Kennedy and ran to her.
"Oh my God, Kennedy are you alright? Are you okay? Please be okay," Willow ranted while sobbing. She cradled Kennedy in her arms whispering over and over again asking for her to be okay.
Kennedy woke up and saw a Willow holding her. At first Kennedy did not realize she was crying because she had been missing. "Willow? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
"You're okay! Thank God you're okay," Willow sniffled her flow of tears coming to a stop.
"Hey, honey it's okay. I'm fine," Kennedy said as she tried to get up. She collapsed in this effort and Willow caught her.
"Kennedy, you're hurt. Who did this to you? What happened? Where have you been?"
"Willow, I'm fine I just tripped over a rock."
"You've been missing for three days! What happened? Did someone kidnap you or something? I've been so worried," Willow said on the verge of tears again.
Kennedy started to cry. She did not think that anyone would have missed her. She just thought they would all notice she was missing and dismiss it not caring. As she looked at Willow she realized that Willow really did love her. Suddenly a huge group of girls ran into view. The minute they saw Kennedy they ran over to her and began to hug her not caring that they were getting her blood all over their clothes. This made her cry even harder, she was loved by the group.
"Kennedy what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Willow asked in a worried tone.
"I just thought that no one would miss me. That's why I ran away. I was just getting in the way of the group. I'm older than all the other girls and I didn't really have any friends with them and, and I thought I was a rebound girl for you. You were probably just waiting until we defeated the first to go find another girl that was more like Tara. So I ran away and I didn't think anyone would miss me. But you guys do love m e don't you? I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," Kennedy cried.
Willow immediately stopped crying and she looked at Kennedy with a furious look on her face. "You ran away? You ran away? This whole time we thought someone had kidnapped you or you had been raped or something like that? Why would you run away? Have I ever done something to make it seem like you were just my replacement for Tara? I don't think I remember doing that! How could you do that?" Willow yelled all this with a disgusted look on her face. She stormed away more furious than she had been in a long time. Ran away? Why would she run away? She hadn't ever given Kennedy a reason to believe that she was just the rebound girlfriend. Had she? Willow remembered how she had turned into Warren when they first kissed and how she had cried about Tara. Could this have been why? Or maybe it had been when she did not want to sleep with Kennedy. Maybe Kennedy got the impression that Willow only wanted to sleep with Tara.
This is when Willow had realized what she had done. She had just left her girlfriend and this might make her feel even worse. Willow turned around and went back to Kennedy.
When Kennedy spotted Willow she cried out, "Willow, I'm sorry. Please come back."
"I'm coming Kennedy. I'm sorry I yelled at you. Now come on we have to get you back to the bus and fix you up." With that Willow picked up Kennedy like a baby and carried her all the way back to the bus. When she put her down Willow bent down and gave Kennedy a kiss. This made Kennedy cry again but she didn't say anything. She went to get Giles to look at Kennedy's wound. She stayed outside the bus while Giles treated Kennedy's cut. She wasn't exactly sure what to say to her. Was she supposed to say sorry or something like that? She was very confused.
As she sat there thinking someone came and sat next to her. "How you feeling?"
"Okay, I guess. At least now she's safe but I don't know what to say to her."
Buffy leaned over and hugged her friend. She looked her in the face, "It'll come to you don't worry. When two people love each other they just know what to say to each other." Speaking about people that loved each other made Buffy start to cry. She was trying to be strong for Willow but she couldn't. She had told Spike she loved him but he didn't believe her. How could he not believe her? Now he was gone and would never know that truth, she did love him, more than she ever imagined that she would love someone. She loved him more than Angel and Riley combined.
This time Willow leaned over and hugged her friend. "It'll be okay. It'll be okay for all of us. I promise."
