jelloh0530 Buffy is walking around town. It's late. At least midnight. And she could swear she just noticed Kennedy. But no... Did Kennedy get back yet? She hurries to catch up to the brunette in front of her. "Hey...Kennedy?" she stage whispers from around 20 feet behind her. Her hair swifts about as she turns toward a familiar voice. Her eyes want to blur everything out for some reason. Kennedy focuses on the voice and slowly pictures the person to perfection. "Buffy? You're here? I thought you'd be..." Her body still has that strange pain. What is wrong with me? She glimpses about, almost with a dazed look. Her hands rub against one another for warmth. That is when she feels it. Kennedy looks at her right hand and sees a blur as she collapses to the ground.

willow_r_ Willow looked at him. Raised her eyebrow. Grinned. "Ok then, buddy, just add the coffee into that little thingie there...and then I'll add the milk."They both reached for the machine, their hands brushing. "Uh..uh I, you-" she stammered. "UM, sorry." Willow cleared her throat. Oz can feel his cheeks burn a bit. "No, Will, it's my fault. It's okay though. See? No mess." Oz tries to keep a smile, but eyes stay looking at his hand.

Buffy stares with concern at Kennedy. She was flushed and sweaty, though it wasn't more than 40 degrees outside. And that wind... The Kennedy just falls over, and Buffy's not quick enough to catch her. Quickly kneeling at the girl's side, Buffy lifts her up, and in adjusting her, feels a wet warmth. "Dammit." She runs with the girl back to the manor and kicks in the front door. "Giles? Anyone??? Help out here!!" She places Kennedy on the floor in front of the fireplace on the left side of the room.

"Dammit Oz, what is wrong with you?" Willow demands. "Just tell me." She finishes up and leans against the counter to wait for the cappucino, looking at Oz.

Just as Oz opens his mouth to say something, he can hear the shouts of an apprehensive slayer coming from the other room. “Will, I think this can wait.” He journeys toward the sound of Buffy’s voice as quickly as he can. He sees a young girl lying near the fireplace. Another slayer, he thought.
Oz walks up to the girl, catching sight of her body covered in sweat. He rests his hand on her forehead.
“This girl is burning up, Buffy? What’s wrong with her?”

Buffy was busy stripping Kennedy's shirt. Blood was seeping all over. She slapped Kennedy smartly on the left cheek, needing to know what happened. "Oz, I don't know... Go to the bathrooms down the hall and grab the emergency kit, please."

Oz did not hesitate to do as Buffy suggested. This girl looks bad, really bad. He makes his way twoard the kit. It did not take him long to find it. He grabs it and quickly goes back to the fireplace. He promps it onto the floor and opens it up, making it easier for Buffy to know what to grab or do.

Sweat and heavy breathing consumes her. Kennedy’s body continues to rise in temperature for reasons unknown. A cough exits her trembling lips. It’s better than the silence that has been freaking both Buffy and Oz.
Her mind shoots through barriers of what happened. It’s almost as if her soul is retracting the fragments of each past memory in order to help her say something, do something. Still darkness. Still unable to move. Images come and go. Another sweat crawls down her cheek. Kennedy vaguely pieces a symbol in her mind.
Why is this familiar? It hurts. It burns. It’s burning! Her mind shoots more images about to only keep her in the trance state her body is in.

Buffy thanks Oz and pulls out the smelling salts, waving them back and forth under Kennedy's nose. "Wake up, Kennedy, wake up."

"I'll get her some cold water." Oz rushes to the kitchen and sees Willow standing there, almost perplexed that he left her in the first place.
"Willow, put some ice in a towel or something quickly. We gotta break this girl's temperature fast." He jolts to the fridge and grabs the gallon of water along with a cup. Hopefully some soothing cold into her body will help her a bit. Oz begins to make his way back into the other room.

Faith walks in through the front door, after a long night of tracking down Atticus's apartment alone, with no luck. She sees Buffy, and then the unconsious Kennedy in her lap. She rushed to her side, looking to Buffy. "What happened?"

Buffy looks up, hiding her concern. "I saw her wandering around outside, down the street. She collapsed. I don't know."

Xander was in one of the rooms, fixing a window absent-mindedly. It was supposed to be something to get his mind off of the stress- which in ways, had been doing all right- but he had to put down his hammer after he'd almost bashed in his thumb with it. Maybe this hadn't been a good idea. Sighing and wiping away the sweat on his forehead with a cold clothe, he took one of those relaxing showers of his, and put on some neater, cleaner clothes. It wasn't a day to stay all cooped up. He had to get himself out of here for some cool air- and fast. This place was becoming a jail cell for him; Not that he really knew what that was like. But a good way to put it. Andrew would know. That didn't matter. Heading down the steps, Xander hadn't even been paying attention to anything else, off in his own daze. It didn't take him long to just sit on an abandoned bench outside nearby and sit back to cool his nerves. This was strange for him. Especially since he hadn't been focusing more of his attention on his friends, the ones that mattered most. He wondered what was going on. Then got lost in thought all over...

Dawn rushed to where Buffy and Kennedy were and stood not knowing really what to do "Buffy do you want me to call 999?" she asked her as Buffy tried to help as much as she could. Conor had rushed in and also didn't seem to know what to do, mostly they both were just standing there. "Is she sick? is she hurt?" Dawn asked quietly to Buffy wandering as to just how serious it was.
