Kennedy pov after freeing Faith

Standing at Buffy's house with my sword I glance at the other two girls with me while Giles explains we're potential slayers "I'm not a potential slayer, I've already been called" I say speaking up.

He stutters cleaning his glasses saying right of course my mistake, rolling my eyes I look at Buffy seeing her frown at me "you're still inexperienced" she says crossing her arms.

"Keep telling yourself that, but I was helped by the Rogue slayer and her group, I've got plenty of fights in my history" I snark.

Walking past her to the living room I sit down placing my weapon over my lap and pull my sharpening stone out to make sure it stays sharp.

"What's with the necklace?"

Glancing up I glare at the guy clearly looking at my chest, scoffing I close my jacket "a crest for my training and home" I snark.

"Xander leave her alone" a voice snaps.

Feeling the seat dip by me I glance seeing Dawn sat by me crossing her arms glaring at him

till he scoffs walking away "how are they?" She asks smiling.

"Last I seen they were raising hell because the leader of one half of the town did something to Emma that's set off another fight" I answer silently glad they made sure to explain who everyone is before I came with photos.

"Is she okay?"

"Will be, but I'd be more worried about what happens when they get a hold of the people, Cora's not someone you want after you then when you add in the rest of them with a family feud going between both sides, it won't be pretty" I answer like I'm uninterested in the fight.

"Why'd you come here instead of helping them?"

"Cordy and my watcher both said I had to come, plus Faith threatened to put her lackeys as my problem and I can't handle their shit anymore"

"Her lackeys?" Willow asks looking confused.

"Similar to Red, their plan shape shifter and turn into hyenas, it's a literal part of their DNA"

Hearing Xander mutter about it being some evil plan I look at him leaning on the wall pouting so I raise my brow "I'll be sure to let Anya know her going to bed with a female witch shifter makes her part of an evil plan" I say smirking.

"She wouldn't" he snaps clinching his jaw.

"She is, and she's working for Faith's mothers, her new partner runs an orphanage for shifter and magical children. When I left Anya was happy and loved having all the children around, she met the woman because of her work with The Mills family"

"Xander, let it go you left her and she has every right to move on because you didn't have any trust in her, just because you changed your mind and want her back now doesn't mean she wants you back, if she's happy let her be happy" Buffy snaps glaring at him when he stands up glaring at me.

"Kennedy, stop taunting him" she adds glaring at me.

Smirking I go back to my sword "where'd you get that?"

Glancing at Dawn I smile carefully holding it out for her to look "Faith made it for me, the first one I gave to someone so she remade it. This was made using holy water blessed by a witch priestess, the silver plating was from crosses blessed by the church, and she had it embedded with few things that act as protection and blessings".

"What's that?" She asks pointing to the two hairs encased in amber in the hilt.

"It's to represent True love"

Ignoring Xander scoffing I smile tapping it "I got to witness that, I almost didn't believe it since it sounds like fairy tale bullshit, but I seen the kiss and felt the power behind it that freed a woman from a curse placed on her as a child that was shared with Emma, it was a last attempt try after the plan to free them failed".

Smiling I look at the hairs in my sword ignoring everyone around me, I was still resisting the possibility of Fairy tales even after everything I seen because of the whole true love bullshit, Faith forced me to watch when I went to leave.

I never thought that was possible but the wave of power I felt from them was amazing, and seeing the dark cloud pour from Lily to Emma after freeing her from the dark one's powers, but that backfired and someone stole the power somehow, it was terrifying but beautiful seeing the curse break on them.
