Chapter 2
Xander was in a daze Faith was beating most of the bringers back and the SIT's were doing good but they were still losing. They didn't know how many bringers were in this place and they were finding out. Xander looked over and saw Willow curled up in a ball eyes wide and staring. He ran over to her thinking she had been hurt and was ready to pull her outside when he heard the one word she was continuously muttering under her breath, "Buffy." He looked over to the still form and thought the girl did look a lot like Buffy but he didn't think it could be her it couldn't. He took Willow in his arms and ran her up the stairs and outside. He left her there for a minute and went back down to get Faith and the others and retreat. As he ran down he saw Giles pull the girl Willow had been by and went up to Faith and told her to get everyone out of here. She nodded and pushed the bringers farther back giving Xander and the capable girls time to get the injured.



It took over an hour to get all the girls home and keep the bringers off their back. But they were able to do it. They pulled pillows out and laid them on the floor for the injured people. As Giles looked at Willow he saw nothing wrong but she still wouldn't answer him in any way. She just kept on looking into the corner where Faith, and Xander were still looking after the girl they had found there. The girl was in very bad condition and in his opinion she wouldn't survive the night. His thoughts were interrupted by one of the girls coming up to him and asking if they could all get some rest. He agreed heartily to this suggestion and moved around the room to help finish dressing wounds.



Faith woke up in the morning feeling sore from the bruises and cuts she had left from yesterday. As she moved downstairs she smelt pancakes in the air and jumped into one of the seats around the table flipping the T.V. on as well. The weather was on and it was not much of a suprise to her that it would be sunny today. She grinned at that sunny in Sunnydale who woulda thought. She went to look on the new girl when the pancakes did not come after several minutes. What she saw suprised her instead of being dead the girl was very much alive and trying to get out the front door.

"Whoa there little girl just sit back down trust me you don't want to go with those wounds," Faith said running up behind the petite woman she had mistaken for a teenager.

"Faith why don't you just shut up and leave me alone," for a moment Faith was suprised she knew her name but maybe she just heard it said or something. When she realized the little 'girl' had told her to shut up she lost her patience with the 'girl'.

"How about you shut up and let me get you some tea while you get your smart ass back on the floor," Faith yelled hoping to show authority in front of this girl. The "girl" sighed and continued to open the door and moved to walk outside. Faith saw this and went behind her and punched her hard in the back of the head hard enough to knock the "girl" out.

"Faith," came a voice from the kitchen. Faith hurriedly pulled the girl back in and threw her onto the cot that the girl had slept on right before Giles walked in with a cup of tea.

"What were you doing?" asked Giles looking at Faith.

"Not much just checking on sleeping beauty here," Faith said casually back hoping he didn't probe further.



Xander woke in his room with Anya, and had to shake his head to get rid of the headache he had there. He moved out of the bed letting Anya continue to sleep and went downstairs. He poured himself a bowl of Cocoa Puffs and brought them out to the living room where he saw Giles, and Faith looking at the girl they had found yesterday.

"Well she does seemed to have healed most of her injuries by herself but it just seems to fast for a normal human," Giles said. Xander did not know exactly what they were talking about since he had not heard the beginning of Giles' sentence.

"What ya talking bought watcher man," Xander said jumping into the conversation.

"Well this girl has healed pretty much over night and we at the moment think she is either a demon of some kind or something else," Giles explained.

"What G-man is trying to say is that we know squat about this girl right here. She sets off my slayer senses but I can't tell if she is good or bad at least until she wakes up," Faith added.

"Something about her feels familiar some how just can't put my finger on it," Giles said taking in the girls face another time.

"Well the least we can do is give the girl a bath or else I think I might just die of the smell," Xander stated fake fainting.

"I do have to agree with Xand on this one," Faith said, "Who should give her the bath its not like she can do it herself." Xander raised his hand at this but Faith glared at him making him lower the hand.

"I will," said Kennedy moving into the room. She had obviously been eavesdropping but Faith didn't care at the moment.

"Fine just don't use up all the warm water," Faith added pulling the girl up and putting her into Kennedy's arms.

##############################################

'I hate this trying to get on Faith's good side is hard but its not like I wouldn't want her on her side, No stop it Faith is not into you so just shut up.' Kennedy's thoughts were interrupted when she kicked the door to the bathroom open and threw the girl in the tub all clothes still on.
'They won't mind if I give her some clothes from Dawn's room.' She thought making her way to the youngest Summer's and pretty much the favored one in this household.

~"Why did she have to do that right then. I mean she knew I loved her why did she go out and do that," Willow had cried into Kennedy's arms.

"Shhh. Willow. I know she loves you she just was really mad," Kennedy had said trying to comfort Willow.~

She moved back into the bathroom holding a pair of shorts and a t-shirt and threw them on the floor. She moved over to the girl and started to soap up her hair still thinking back to the night were Willow had told her about Buffy.

~"How can she love me after that. She made it pretty obvious that she hates me," Willow said still crying into Kennedy's shoulder. At this point Kennedy wished she hadn't brought up Buffy.

"Willow," she couldn't think of anything else to say because she was silently agreeing with what Willow had been saying about Buffy.

"I mean first I finally get back from being all evil everything is fine then she hears Xander say how he brought me back, and she just start's crying. Xander moves over to help her, to help her and that bitch just punches him in the face," Willow said crying even harder into Kennedy, "Then she has the nerve to run up to me and kiss me then just walks away, out of Sunnydale, and out of my life," Willow finished angrily.~

Kennedy was pulled out of her thoughts when she looked down at her hands and saw them covered in black dye. She looks from her hands to the girls hair and sees a patch of blond under the black hair that she had.
"What the hell?" Kennedy say's.
