:::PART THREE:::
'Okay there is some definite butterflying here...' Willow though as she crawled up from the bed after her emotional breakdown. Butterflying...... and it felt good, she felt good. Willow dressed and took a run downstairs... the first evil seemed to be so far away.
When she entered the kitchen the SIT's, Dawn, Buffy, Xander and Kennedy were searching for breakfast. Willow only later realized that she wasn't 'storing' Kennedy with the other SIT's anymore. Kennedy flashed her a smile when she entered and Willow replied it. "Good morning" She said in general and here and there the comment was replied.
"Where are the crunchies?" Molly's voice sounded. "Gone..." Dawn's said as she held up the empty box. "... as is much of everything." She added. So many people in one house and no grocery shopping... it was bound to happen. "I'll go get some things at the local market." Willow offered. "I'll go with you" Buffy offered quickly.
"No, stay with the SIT's, what if some of those Bringer guys show up?" Willow said and Buffy knew she was right. "I'll go with her" Kennedy offered quickly. After a long discussion Kennedy and Willow were on their way to the market.
"She's a good friend" Kennedy said in the silence. Willow nodded with a smile. "She really is" The silence returned and hung around them heavily. "There is so much you don't know about me..." Willow whispered softly. "Heard this voodoo once turned you into the big scary. Big, scary Willow....that's something I'd almost like to see--" Kennedy said as a joke.
"No, you wouldn't." Willow responded fierce and pulled her arm to get Kennedy to stop. "I said 'almost.'" Kennedy responded standing strong.
"It's nothing like you see on TV... I went crazy and I- I started to kill and I couldn't stop and I became the big bad." Willow said almost in tears. Kennedy lay a hand on Willow's arm. "But you got back and you're here and you are doing good." Kennedy said with a friendly, loving smile.
"No! Not good! I tried to do a spell... before you came and I went... it went wrong... The First... it turned it around on me. Got inside. I felt it just surging through me, every fiber of my being. Pure, undiluted evil. I could taste it." Willow said a little desperate.
"How does evil taste?" Kennedy asked, trying her best to lighten the mood. "A little chalky" Willow replied and then gave her a smile. "Come on. We have some shopping to do" Willow said in her best cheery voice and took hold of Kennedy's hand which earned her a smile. "Lead the way!" Kennedy replied and pulled Willow with her with a small smile. Somehow the day seemed brighter although the first Evil was still lurking in every shadow.
