Rooftop

I can smell the rain coming
But I won't leave until it falls
I'm gonna soak in its downpour
Til I hear my mother's calls

The gang, plus Kennedy and her gang, made their way to Buffy's house. They walked in silence the whole way. Upon reaching the house, they stopped as Buffy took out the keys and shoved them into the lock, turning them, and hearing a satisfying click.

As Willow entered the living room she turned on the light switch, which caused light to flood the room. She told their guests to sit anywhere they choose, while she went to get drinks. Jay sat on the hearth, Zella sat on the loveseat(big chair) and Kennedy sat on the right side of the couch.

Xander stood by the door, while dawn sat on the floor leaning against Buffy's legs as she sat on the left side of the couch, conveniently leaving the seat next to Kenned open for Willow.

Cause I am playing God
I am raising hell
As far as I can tell
I am all alone
Alone in this world
Alone, with you

When Willow got back she set the tray carrying the drinks on the coffee table and sat down on the couch, not yet noticing that Kennedy sat next to her. As everybody got their drinks, Willow laid back on the couch with her drink and looked to her right.

She blushed as she looked into the face of Kennedy, who was looking back at her with a kind of dazed expression on her face. Willow quickly looked back at Buffy who was now saying something to Dawn, but she couldn't make it out. out of the corner of her eye, she saw Kennedy smirking.

The roof slips beneath my feet
As the branches back away from me
The softest grass turns to concrete
But I will fly
I will fly
You will see

"So Kennedy, start from the beginning and tell us how you came about slaying," Buffy said interested. Kennedy felt all eyes on her as she wondered where to start. She decided she would begin with the basics first.

"Well, I first started training with my watcher when I was five years old," she began, but didn't get farther that that before Buffy spit out half of the drink she had nearly swallowed.

"W-What?! how is that possible?" She spluttered.

"my watcher came to my house when I was five and told me that I was a potential slayer, and took me to live with him, and train me until I was nineteen. I am now twenty."

"Wow," Dawn breathed out.

"Yeah," Willow answered.

Kennedy shifted uncomfortably as the slayer gang gawked at her. "Anyway, around the age of seven, my dad came to my watchers house with the worst news that I could have ever imagined; My mom had died and he was getting married in a months time,"

Kennedy now had a few tears in her eyes that she refused to let fall. "I keep telling my self that every thing I do is for her. every life I save, every time I do good, no matter what it is, it's all for her," She finished in a whisper.

She felt an arm on her shoulder and she looked up to see Buffy's hand on her arm.

"Dawn and I know how you feel," She said sadly, "our mother died two years ago, and it was the worst feeling in the world."

Kennedy nodded and said "I'm sorry that happened to you," but couldn't manage to get farther than that.

Cause I am playing God
I am raising hell
As far as I can tell
I am all alone
Alone in this world
Alone
