Chapter 22: The end

Slayer Central

Kennedy had never thought she could feel this way. It felt as if part of her was dieing, almost like if that part died she wouldn't be able to continue on. Kennedy watched Buffy outside; she was sitting alone underneath a big oak tree. Kennedy knew she was somehow communicating with Willow. Mostly because tonight was the night, the night where Buffy would be reunited with not only her best friend but her mother as well.

"Kennedy," Kennedy looked behind her at Giles, Cordelia and Anya. "You need to prepare for tonight," Giles said. "I know it must be hard for you…"

"How do you know! The women I love is about to sacrifice her life so everyone else can see the sun rise in the morning," Kennedy said as she stormed off and closed her bedroom door behind her.

She walked over and sat on herbed as tears started flowing from her eyes. She knew she needed to get ready because if she didn't then Buffy wouldn't be the only one dieing tonight. That's when Kennedy heard something outside her window and when she looked there stood Faith, well evil Faith anyway.

"What are you doing here?" Kennedy didn't want to fight so she didn't even bother moving when Faith sat down next to her. "If you're here to kill Buffy don't even bother, she is killing herself tonight anyway," Kennedy said as she got off the bed slowly.

"That's not why I'm here," Faith said as she looked at Kennedy. "The challenger couldn't beat me," she said. "I've been evil before and I realized back then that it wasn't for me so I came here to help you." She said. "I'm a good guy again," Kennedy looked at her and then Faith's smiled faded. "B's sacrificing herself?" she asked and Kennedy nodded.

Before Kennedy could stop her Faith was up and out of the room. Kennedy tried to follow her but Faith was too fast. Faith ran out the front door and over to Buffy where she was sitting by the oak tree. Kennedy stayed back by the door.

"Don't even try to talk me out of it," Buffy said looking at the other half of the chosen two. "Nothing you can say will stop me," Buffy said looking back down at the ground.

"Oh I know that," Faith said. "I remember Buffy, but you died already for this world, let someone else. Let someone else be the hero." Faith tried to explain.

"No because I wasn't even supposed to be brought back. I was in Heaven once and I want to go back," Buffy said as she looked at Faith. "Nothing is holding me here," she said.

"What about Kennedy or Dawn or Xander or God even me?" Faith asked her. "We all love you Buffy and what do you think happens to us when you die?" she asked the blonde.

"Faith if we don't do this then every one dies," Buffy said. But before Faith could say anymore Buffy put her finger over her mouth. "This conversation is over," Buffy said and then she went back into her own little world that even Faith knew she could penetrate.

Faith looked at the horizon and saw that it was sunset, which meant they had less that an hour to get Buffy to change her mind. Since she knew that wasn't going to happened she decided she might as well get ready for battle.

Some building

Everyone was standing outside the building that Faith had led them to. Buffy was in the front, she wanted to get this over with quickly. "Everyone ready?" Buffy asked and she looked at Kennedy out of the corner of her eye and she had no emotion on her face. Buffy was going to miss her.

"Lets go!" Buffy yelled and they ran into the building. Everyone inside was complete unaware of what was happening.

"Slayer," Buffy heard Spike as he was approaching her. But before he got to her Kennedy intercepted him. Before Spike knew what was happening there was a stake in his chest and he was turning to dust. "Fu…"

Buffy saw Angel but before Kennedy could go over to him and dust him Buffy stepped in front of her. "This one is mine," she said as she walked over to Angel. "Hello Lover," Buffy said.

Angel brought his arm down to punch her but Buffy blocked him. "I'm sorry," Buffy said and Angel looked at her confused before he turned to dust. That's when Buffy heard the roar. "There he is," Buffy said and she walked through the door to where the challenger was himself. Kennedy had followed her in and Buffy had really hopped she hadn't. Buffy also noticed that vampires surrounded the challenger. "Clear me a path," Buffy said as she made sure the axe was firmly in her hand. Once she ran through the path that was made for her the challenger bent down and ate her whole.

Everyone stopped and watched what was going on. Kennedy could see Buffy tiring it up on the inside and the challenger was tiring himself apart trying to get Buffy out. That's when Giles stepped up behind her.

"There is no real way to kill the challenger…he kills himself trying to get his struggle food from his stomach," Giles said. That's when they saw the challenger fall to the floor. "Let's go, we'll come back for the body after he had evaporated, which takes about two hours." Giles said and they all headed out, even Kennedy.

TWO HOURS LATER

When they arrived back at the building the challenger was completely gone. That's when they started the search. They all stood back as Kennedy went to retrive the body of her fallen lover. She stopped in the middle of the room where the challenger had been and then she looked at Giles with confusion written all over her face.

"She's gone."
