Here's another chapter everyone, I'm going to try and get one in everyday this week since I have nothing better to do anyway.

Chapter 6:

When Kennedy woke up in the morning she saw Willow walking out of the bathroom fully dressed.

"Come on sleepy-head, get up we have to go," Willow said in an enthusiastic voice. "We're going to eat breakfast at the cute restaurant. Angel reserved us spots. Hurry up! We're going to be late."

Kennedy groaned as she got up. She had had a sleepless night. She was up a good portion of the night thinking about what Willow had said about bringing Tara back. Many thoughts had run through her head. Would she really do it? Could she really do it? Kennedy knew she had to tell Buffy and she had been planning on telling her first thing that morning but now that Willow had plants she didn't want to disappoint her.

Once Kennedy was dressed she went out and met Willow in the car. Willow kept talking the whole way there. They had a great time and Kennedy was starting to think Willow's dreams were just dream talk and there were nothing to worry about. When they got back in the car Willow said she had to make a stop somewhere. They drove for about twenty minutes until she finally found where she wanted to go, a dark alley.

Willow stepped out of the car and asked Kennedy to come with her. "I could really use your slayer strength to protect me."

Kennedy wasn't sure what was going on but she wanted to protect Willow so she went along with her. Kennedy walked in front of Willow in case anything sprang out. Willow walked with Kennedy and kept a close eye on her. When she was sure that Kennedy wasn't paying attention to her she picked up a metal bar lying on the floor and hid it behind her back.

"Kennedy," Willow called so she would turn to face her, "I just wanted to say I'm really sorry about this but I can't have you messing up my plans." At this moment she swung the metal bar and hit Kennedy across the face. Kennedy collapsed but was still conscious. Willow hit her again and again until Kennedy's face was blue and she was unconscious. She gently dragged Kennedy to the corner where she left her. Willow looked at her again with a sad look on her face. It wasn't that she didn't like Kennedy. She did, but she loved Tara. She couldn't have Kennedy interfering with what she was going to do.

Willow quickly got back into the car and drove back to the hotel. She had prepared everything she needed that morning. She had put them in a bag and hit them under the bed. She could not risk Kennedy finding them so she had rushed out of the room.

Willow had spent the past two weeks using Wolfram and Hart's resources to find a way to bring Tara back. She was pretty sure that she had but she wasn't sure if it would bring Tara back right. She could only hope for the best. She gathered everything she needed and set them up on the floor. As she lit the last candle she began to chant, she was sure that she wouldn't be interrupted now that Kennedy was out of the picture. Buffy was probably gone and no one else needed her for anything. Little did she know that five minutes after she had driven away Kennedy had woken up.

Kennedy's slayer healing power had kicked in as soon as Willow had hit her. When she first woke up she didn't know where she was but it all came back to her. After making sure she wasn't bleeding or anything she slowly got up. Finding that it was easier than she thought it would be she gratefully appreciated her slayer strength. Her face and head still hurt but she could at least walk.

As soon as she got up Kennedy realized that she had not clue as to where she was. She walked out of the alley and saw a gas station. She figured that there would be a pay phone there and she could call Buffy so that she would stop Willow. When she thought about this she wondered why she was trying to stop Willow. She had her magic under control now. It wasn't as if she'd hurt herself. Maybe she was just jealous. When she reached the gas station and picked up the phone she hesitated before dialing Buffy's number but decided she was telling Buffy for Willow's safety.

"Hello," Buffy's voice came over the phone.

"Hey Buffy, it's Kennedy. Have you seen Willow?"

"No I haven't, where are you?"

"Willow left me here. She hit me in the head and left me here. I think she went somewhere to bring Tara back," Kennedy said in a rush.

"Wait, wait slow down. What are you talking about? Willow's going to bring Tara back? When did this happen? And where are you exactly?" Buffy asked in a confused voice.

Kennedy calmed and explained everything that happened to Buffy. She told Buffy to hurry. Someone had to stop Willow. Buffy told her to wait there and she would send someone to pick her up. Kennedy told her the address of the gas station and hung up the phone. Impatiently she waited until a car finally hung up. Inside was a worried Giles.

"Get in Kennedy," Giles said as he opened the car door, "we have to get back to the hotel."

The second Kennedy sat down the car flew out of the gas station. Giles demanded a thorough explanation from Kennedy. This was the first time Kennedy realized that her head really hurt and that her face was blue. After explaining what was going on to Giles she fell asleep for the reminder of the trip. As soon as they pulled in front of the hotel Kennedy woke up and rushed into the lobby with Giles at her heels.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As soon as Buffy hung up the phone she rushed to Giles room and gave him a quick overview and told him to go pick Kennedy up and she headed over to Willow's room. She knocked on Willow's door and could hear her chanting inside. When Willow didn't answer Buffy she tried to get in. When the door wouldn't open Buffy tried to kick down the door but she couldn't. Buffy become conscious of the fact that Willow was using magic to keep anyone from going inside.

She ran downstairs and found Wesley packing some more boxes.

"Wes, you have to help me. Willow put up some spell to keep anyone from going inside," Buffy said in an excited voice.

"Why do you need to get into Willow's room?" Wesley asked in a curious voice.

"I'll tell you later, right now do you know how to break the barrier? It has to be in one of your books."

"Most of my books are at Wolfram and Hart," Wesley said as he put down the box he was holding, "but I think I've got something right here," he said as he pulled out a book from a box. "This should have something," he said as he flipped through the pages.

"Hurry up Wesley!" Buffy groaned in agitation. "You might be too late."

"Ah, yes here it is a spell to break down barriers. It requires a few simple ingredients that I have right here but there may be one problem."

"And what's that?" an annoyed Buffy asked.

"I am not sure if I will be strong enough to perform the ritual. Willow is a very powerful witch it will not be an easy task."

"Well try what you can."

At this moment Dawn walked down the stairs and looked around. "How come you guys have all the magic stuff around?"

"Dawn go outside," Buffy yelled. She didn't have time to be dealing with other problems.

"Geez, who's on your case," Dawn responded. "So Wes, what are you doing?" She asked she figured that if she asked him he would answer her.

"Oh nothing, nothing. It's a very simple procedure. We're" Wes glanced at Buffy, "just trying to break a barrier. That's all."

"Oh, well that sounds pretty easy. Can I help?" Dawn said enthusiastically.

"NO! Dawn get outa here!" Buffy yelled.

"I'm not going anywhere!" Dawn said crossing her arms. "I'm staying right here and you can't do anything about it."

"Buffy I could actually use her help. The ritual requires a third person to hold these herbs."

"All right Dawn you can stay. Hold these herbs and don't move or touch anything."

"You know I'm not a little kid anymore. You don't have to act like I'm one!"

The three of them got ready and in position and Wesley began to chant. When he finished he set down the book and told Buffy to try and open Willow's door. Buffy still couldn't open the door. Wesley sighed he wasn't sure what to do. He didn't know anyone around powerful enough to open Willow's barrier.

While Wesley and Buffy had been trying to open Willow's door Dawn had picked up the book Wesley had put down. She read the ritual and began to say the spell out loud Wesley heard her and turned around. When he saw her reading the spell he was going to tell her to stop until he saw the power she had. She was filled with the power and in a steady chant she recited the spell a couple times before the door finally opened. When she finished she looked around and than collapsed.

"Dawn," Buffy rushed to her side, "are you okay? Wake up Dawn, wake up!"

"Buffy she's going to be fine, Willow's door is open," Wesley told her. He was now curious as to why she wanted to go into Willow's room. "Why did you need Willow's door opened anyway?"

"I'll explain later. Can you take care of Dawn I have to take care of Willow," Buffy asked.

"Sure go ahead. I've got Dawn," Wesley answered with a sigh. The moment Buffy went up the stairs a badly bruised Kennedy and a worried Giles walked in.

What did you think? And as for dlgood I haven't finished my story yet do you remember that? Maybe something's going to happen to Buffy so she changes her mind. For everyone else thanks for the reviews if everyone else who's reading my story could please review I'd really appreciate it.
