Chapter 13: Truths and lies

Slayer Central

Tension was the only word that Kennedy could use to describe her current situation. She just told her sister Renee that she to is a slayer and Renee hasn't said a word since. She hasn't yelled, cried, or anything and that's the part that was causing the tension.

Kennedy walked over so that she was in front of her sister, and she looked her in eye. "Say something," she pleaded. Her sister just continued to stair ahead. Kennedy bowed her head and started to walk away when a hand on her shoulder stopped her.

When she turned around she saw her sister finally looking her in the eye. "Ken, you're my little sister…I didn't want this life for you," she said, the first words spoken since she heard Kennedy's declaration.

Out of the corner of her eye Kennedy could see Buffy telling everyone to leave the room. That's why Kennedy loved her, even when she wasn't asked she did what she knew had to be done. "You and I both know that we couldn't stop me being called. That it was written years and years before our time." She explained.

"I know that but still, I wanted something better for you," she paused. "I guess I wanted you to be the one to get married, have the kids, and live the basic American dream," she said as she looked at Kennedy. "With this life you won't have that…ever," she finished.

Kennedy bowed her head, but not in shame, she looked back up at her sister with a smile on her face. "The ironic thing about your statement is that I found someone that I love and they return my love," she paused. "What's the saying…oh well I don't remember it. But I did find someone and I am in love," she finished.

Her sister looked at her with wide eyes. "Who is the lucky guy to have won my sisters heart?" Renee asked. "This is someone that I have to met because they have to be one hell of a catch for you to fell this way about them," she added.

Kennedy paused before she answered. Renee had died before Kennedy realized that she was gay. She didn't know if she should tell her sister the truth or not. "Well he's amazing," she decided not. "He is a little taller than me, with blonde hair," well at least that part of it was true.

"What's his name?" she asked.

Kennedy had to think fast, "His name is Andrew," she lied. She figured that Andrew would go along with anything he saw, including not telling Buffy about this.

"Is he here? Can I met him?" she asked excited.

"Actually he is out of town," Kennedy said in a fake disappointed voice. "Hey why don't you go up to your room and get settled in? I'll see if I can get him on the phone so you two can have a talk," Kennedy said. "Your room is down the hall and the third one on the left," she explained and watched as her sister went in search for her room.

As Kennedy made her way upstairs Dawn caught hold of her arm. When Kennedy looked down at the red head she had nothing but guilt in her eyes. "Why?" That was the only question that Dawn could think of.

"Because I don't want to disappoint her," Kennedy said as a tear slipped through.

"You've never before been afraid to tell people about you sexuality …why is she so different?" Dawn asked.

"Because she's my sister," Kennedy explained. Kennedy turned and walked back upstairs.

"I won't tell Buffy, but If she finds out some other way you are going to be in for some major graveling" Dawn said and Kennedy turned around and continued up the stairs.

Yet what neither one of them saw was Buffy standing in the hall way next to the door that she closed to give Kennedy and her sister some privacy. Buffy knew she wasn't supposed to know about this, but that didn't mean that it hurt any less. She turned and walked out of the house and away from the drama that would come form this lie.

Kennedy walked into her and Buffy's room expecting to find Buffy lying there on the bed waiting for her. And no not in the sexual way but waiting for her to explain what happened in the talk with her sister, but she was disappointed. When she opened the door all she saw was a empty bed. Kennedy walked over and lay on top of it looking at the ceiling.

Motel room

Buffy knew she was in for hell when she got home because she always ran from her problems, and this was no different. Yet the last time she ran, she ran all the way to L.A. She walked into the main office and paid for her key and then she made her way to the hotel room.

When Buffy walked into the hotel room she remember when she would always come here with Faith. In fact it was the same hotel room that Faith used to have. She did that on purpose. She wanted to remember a time when someone loved her and wasn't afraid to let everyone know.

Buffy lay back on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

Flashback

They had just finished a hard night of slaying and it was too late for Buffy to go back home so they decided that she would stay at Faith's. She made sure to call her mom and leave a message on the answering machine so she wouldn't worry.

They came stumbling into the apartment from running all the way to the hotel room. Faith had her hand clasped tight around Buffy's. They had been together for a little over a month It all started when Buffy stayed at Faith hotel room after she was hurt badly. Faith had patched her up and then one thing led to another and soon the came to this point.

They told everyone about their relationship and the only one that seemed to have a problem was Willow, but only because she thought she was going to lose her best friend. Buffy quickly assured her that they would always be best friends no matter what. They both knew that Xander wouldn't mind their relationship, after all he was a teenage boy with fantasies.

So that's how is started and this is what it progressed to.

As soon as the door has shut behind them Faith had her hands all over Buffy, for some reason she just couldn't keep her hands off. It was almost like Buffy was her drug of choice.

"God B," Faith said as she ran kisses up and down Buffy's neck and along her jaw line. "I want you," she mumbled.

"Bed," was the only word that Buffy trusted herself to say. Faith picked her up off the ground and Buffy wrapped her legs around her waist. Faith set her down on the bed. "I love you Faith," Buffy said as she looked into those big brown eyes that she loved so much.

"I love you too B…I want to be with you forever," she said. "And if you ever tell anyone I was that cheesy I'll kill you," she said jokingly.

"I want to be with you forever too," Buffy said as she ran her hand through Faith brown hair all the time never moving her gaze from her eyes. Faith leaned down and kissed her, this time more slowly and passionate since they had there whole lives to do this.

End Flashback

They didn't last though and that's what hurts the most about the memory of there relationship. Angel came back and ruined it, they were happy together and then he showed up. Faith became distant and some Buffy just thought of her as a friend, and that when Faith went to the mayor.

Buffy whipped the tear that had come from her eye as she relived the memory of Faith betrayal and her own. Just as Buffy thought she was going to be able to get some sleep the door swung open and when Buffy's head popped up she saw Faith standing in the doorway.

"Having a trip down memory lane B?" Faith asked as she inched closer to the blonde. "Remember the fun times we had in this very bed," Faith said.

"I could never forget," Buffy said as she looked at the brunette. "Aren't you supposed to kill me?" Buffy asked.

"Aw…you know I could never do that, I love you too much," she said with a smile as she turned to Buffy. Before either one of them knew what was happening Buffy leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Faith's lips. When she pulled back all she saw were Faith's lust filled eyes. "Do you have any idea what you do to me?" Faith asked as she ran her hand through Buffy's blonde hair. And then she brought her lips to Buffy's.

Buffy and Kennedy's room

Kennedy awoke and looked at the clock and she saw that it was a little past one. When she looked around the room she saw that there was someone sitting in the chair in the corner. "Buffy?" Kennedy asked but then the person came closer. "Renee." She said.

"Why didn't you tell me that the person you love is the orginal slayer? Why didn't you tell me that you were into girls?" she asked.

"Because I didn't want to disappoint you," she explained.

"I don't think it's me you have to worry about anymore," Renee said as she got up and existed the bedroom. "I would be more concerned on where your girlfriend is at this moment," she said.
