Giles was bleeding a little bit from the head. Willow, Faith and Xander seemed unharmed.
Buffy took the glass shards out of her arm and then took off her long sleeve shirt and held it like a wrap on her arm. Now all she wore was a tank top.
"Giles, what the hell, why did you just stop like that? You could have killed us all." Buffy asked.
Giles pointed. They all looked to see a white wolf standing there bleeding from what apparently was a hole in it's chest. It had brown eyes and those two things were what Willow noticed first.
Willow stepped forward. "Ke…Kennedy?" she whispered.
"What?" said Buffy. "No way!" She went over to the wolf as did Faith and Willow.
The werewolf stepped forward growling. But then it sniffed and howled, Willow jumped and flinched, at the same time. The wolf started walking slowly towards Willow. She was shaking a little bit but stood up straight and didn't move.
The wolf walked up to Willow and put it's paws on Willow's shoulders and licked the side of her cheek. It seemed to purr slightly. Everyone standing behind Willow looked shocked.
"Kennedy." Willow whispered. The wolf licked her face again and everyone knew it was her.
"Wow K, nice look. It makes you look fiercer than you already are." Faith said. Kennedy growled at Faith and everyone laughed.
Suddenly Kennedy jumped on Willow and tried to claw at her, but Buffy pulled her off. She clawed at Buffy and scratched her face. Faith suddenly sensed someone unfamiliar. She ran to the woods, Buffy and Kennedy following back to her old self a little bit, though still in wolf form.
Faith was running as fast as she could. She turned a sharp corner and saw a figure up ahead, with what seemed to be a harmonica in his hand.
Faith, Buffy and Kennedy (who was still running on all fours), got about a foot away when the figure blew the harmonica. Five wolves and two lions came out of the shadows. Kennedy, Faith and Buffy stood in sort of a triangle. Kennedy growled, which caused the other animals in the clearing to growl as well. Buffy looked at Faith who looked back (knife in hand) and pointedly nodded toward the guy with the harmonica.
Faith: Come on B, we have to kill these guys then capture him, because obviously he's the one whose been causing Kennedy's transformation. Buffy: I know. But we have to make sure we don't get killed by these things beforehand. Faith nodded.
The harmonica guy blew again, and the animals attacked. Faith caught one that was heading at Buffy from behind and snapped it's neck. Buffy stabbed one with a stake from one of the trees. One of the wolves sank it's claws into Faith's arm, she cried out, but wasn't down for the count. She kicked the thing in the face then stabbed it in the gut with her knife.
One lion down and three wolves down, thanks to Faith and Buffy.
They were congratulating themselves but stopped when they saw Kennedy getting floored by the lion and the wolf. They rushed over but were stopped by the other wolf and started to fight again.
Kennedy's fight
Kennedy had bitten the lion and sent it down to come back up again. She had killed the wolf though after it had bitten her left arm clean off. Blood was seeping from her wound. It had started to rain now, drop after drop falling on them. First softly, then much harder. Kennedy went to the lion and clawed it in the face, then bit it's neck and killed it.
The other wolf was then killed by Buffy and Faith. They rushed to the harmonica guy and nailed him in the face then dragged him over to Kennedy. She was crawling on the ground then fell turning back into a human, her eyes open, her breathing shallow.
Despite the fact that it was disgusting and covered in blood, Faith went to retrieve Kennedy's arm while Buffy and 'harmonica man' were at Kennedy's side.
"Come on." said Buffy, as she tore off a little bit of her shirt to stop the bleeding. Kennedy was getting paler and paler.
Then they heard shouts coming from behind them. They saw Giles, Xander and Willow running toward them. all white-faced.
"Took you long enough." Faith yelled as they drew closer.
"Shut up Faith." Willow cried and as she caught sight of Kennedy with no arm, she started crying and fell to her knees beside Kennedy saying "Oh Goddess. Oh Goddess." over and over again.
"Listen, Willow we need you to calm down and we need you to chamber your energy so you can put her arm back on. "Oh okay. I'll try." Willow said.
"Faith help me." Buffy said. So she and Faith picked up Kennedy and carefully carried her to the car. Giles and Xander followed helping Willow who was shaking.
Jack's Mannequin (Into the Airwaves)
From an empty room on the first floor
As the cars pass by the liquor store
I deconstruct my thoughts at this piano
Buffy and Faith put a towel down and put Kennedy along the back seat of the van. Willow sat beside Kennedy with Kenn's head in her lap. Xander, Faith and Dawn got into the very back seats. Giles drove and Buffy was in the passenger seat. Kennedy's arm lay wrapped in a blanket on the floorboard. They drove to HQs and pulled up into the parking places. "Hey," Buffy called out two slayers but Vi and Spike out instead. When they saw blood everywhere they ran to the car and saw Kennedy.
And it's all that I can do to stay
With all the things I didn't say
To you before you moved across the country
And from the burning building where I lay
As I watch the stars become the day
The LA girls are lacing up their sneakers
"Don't just stand there guys, help me!" yelled Buffy as she picked up Kennedy while Faith grabbed her arm accidentally.
And from the boardwalks and the beach
This fishbowl life is all they need
It's everything I needed too
Till I heard the news
Spike and Vi grabbed Kennedy's legs and Buffy had the rest of her body while Faith, Dawn, Xander, Giles and Willow followed. Buffy and Vi and Spike put Kennedy on the couch and Buffy put the arm as close to Kennedy as she could then went over to Willow who was red-faced and teary and pulled her to the couch so as to try to heal Kennedy.
I'll send this message through the speakers
I'll cross the country on a frequency
I am slipping through, I am slipping through
I am slipping into the airways
(The static's where you'll find me)
And this is nothing new, you're slipping through
My fingers and into the airways
Willow moved to Kennedy and put her shaky hand on her arm and shoulder to connect them. While she did that, Faith and Buffy brought in harmonica guy, who had been in the trunk. They put him in a chair and tied him up and taped his mouth shut.
Willow concentrated with all her heart and soul to attach Kennedy's arm. Her face was one of peace however.
