Faith nodded to both of them asking her ok, as her ran over her forehead again.
"B, I had a dream, i mean vision, a dreamvison thing with Kennedy. I was up in her room, and I fell asleep. I was in this forest and could hear Kennedy screaming, so I ran, and ended up at a weird temple place."
She stopped for a moment, and then continued on.
"There were these wolf things there, two of them, huge things. As they disappeared I noticed Kennedy in the middle of the alter, and ran to help her, but she couldn't hear me, B. Then those wolf things came back and I noticed they were howling and Kennedy was talking. She's being used a translator. She had that tattoo thing on her hand."
Faith looked at the ground wiping her brow again before looking up at B, a little calmer.

Buffy flashed back to when she and Faith had been lying in their respective hospital beds and shared that dream.
"Faith... Do you still talk with Wesley at all? Maybe it's time to get another Watcher in on this.. Cuz I've perused till I'm used.. and where Giles left to, I can't tell."

Faith flinched at Wesley's name, but smiled, pulled out her cell phone.
"I think I have his number somewhere. I haven't talk to him since we left LA."
Faith scrolled through her numbers coming upon Wesley's number.
"Here it is. I'll go call him in a minute. There's more to that dream."

Buffy stood up and gave Dawn a be right back look, and then headed to the kitchen, sending Faith a follow me look.
Once in the kitchen and leaning against one of the counters, she said, "Ok, so, spill."

Faith followed Buffy into the kitchen.
"The wolves, I think they're going to release whatever hold they have on Kennedy. They think she's too weak for something, I think the tattoo spell or whatever they are using to hold her is supposed to help her translate for them, and it's not working right."

Buffy is about to say, well good, when she realizes that if Kennedy isn't strong enough... well, there were only a few in the house stronger than Kennedy.
"Damn."

willow_r_ Willow flinched away from the hand that flung out in her direction. This was just.... this was too much... she couldn't.... Too much.She ran down the stairs, out the hallway door, through the foyer and out of the mansion, into the brighness of high noon. Running kept her from thinking, so she ran through town and into the graveyard, weaving in and out and in between headstones and the occasional mausoleum, until the stitch in her side became a screaming pain she could no longer ignore. She found herself in the older part of the graveyard... thinking of Amy. And how she had told no one of Amy's arrival. And how she thought this might all be Amy's doing. Willow reached into her pocket, and then realized - other pants, Dorkus McGee.Now that she was a bit less frazzled, though by no means calm, she slowly walked back the way she had come. After a minute or so, she became aware of a presence. Someone was close by. She could almost hear whoever it was breathing from somewhere behind her. Willow had never come across whatever it was nearby, and instead of going home, went back to that coffee shop. She needed to go home and tell everyone about Amy, but first, some sustenance. She ordered a vanilla flavored latte this time, with a french cruller, and when she'd paid and receieved, she sat at a table in the front corner of the little cafe, staring out the window as she had her late lunch. Not wearing a watch, and not seeing one outside, she figured it to be way after 3 pm, but nowhere near 7pm... She grinned self-deprecatingly about her lack of ability in tracking the sun and getting the right time out of it. They had covered it in her college "wanna be wicca" group but... and that brought her frame of mind crashing back to crap. She'd first met Tara in that group. If this was Amy doing this, then all the benevolent thoughts Willow had been having were just shot to hell in a wicker basket. I'll kill her, she thought, the shook that thought off. It wasn't really her. Just... the darker side of ID.

Andrew looked perplexed at Buffy's comment, then checked himself to see that he was indeed sweating. What had just happened again? He remembered showing Atticus to his room and then going into his room to do... something. He must have fallen asleep. Though his head felt funny, and he had woken up in a tall, brooding man's arms. He shook the thoughts out, and remembered he was supposed to be in Watcher mode. Where had the Slayers gone? He turned around to see them talking, and walked up to them, catching only the last thing Buffy said.
"Why are we hurling expletives? Is something up?" The mansion felt particularly empty compared to the past few days, when Demon Hunters, Slayers, Werewolves, Witches, and Other Group of People were running amok through it constantly. 'Way to be on the ball, Andrew,' he thought to himself.

Buffy's head jerked in Andrew's direction. Her current thoughts had been deep and consuming, and she had been off in Buffy-land when he entered the kitchen.
"Expletives?" She stopped to think about what she had said... then remembered the "Damn".
"Oh, we.. I....Damn," she repeated, not sure what he knew and what he didn't.
"Faith, you wanna explain about Kennedy? Cuz the Tara thing is too much, I think-" She shut up quickly, shooting a glance at Andrew. Did he catch that? Will he pass out again??

"What Tara thing? And what's happening with Kennedy?" he directed the question at Buffy, choosing to surpass Faith. Though the blood ran through Faith, he'd always considered Buffy to be the Slayer. Which raised an interesting question, with so many Slayer's awoken, would Faith still call a slayer if she passed, or was it one of the seemingly infinite Ex-Potentials? He'd have to call someone for an expert opinion a little later.[[[That means Wesley, if you were concerned.]]]

"Well, as far as I can tell, to say it as basically as I can.. there's a big bad. Again. And it's using a Slayer to do some kinda telephone chain thing... And apparantly Kennedy's not strong enough for whatever the message is, so I'm thinking.... Willow or Spike might be in trouble. It might even go after another Slayer, but I mean, Kennedy's damn strong." She worried about Dawn for a moment, hoping that whatever key residue there was before was long gone. Buffy shrugged, then winced before she told Andrew the next bit. "And Oz is Tara" , she announced succinctly. ((thanks @ wesley thing))

Oz closes another book. His hand quickly combs his new long hair, fingers playing with the ends. Whoever this "Atticus" guy was, it's not someone that these books or the internet woulld know. Oz needed more information. A last name. Time in town. Friends. Something more than just his first name. He stretches his arms a bit and decides to stop research and grab something to eat.
Oz leaves his room and walks downstairs to the kitchen. He sees Buffy and Faith and the guy whom had fainted.
"Unless Atticus came to life from To Kill A Mockingbird, I got nothing. I need something else to work on him. Did you say something about a demon hunter earlier? I wasn't too sure. Anyway, I'm grab something to eat and then head back into my room...unless there's a computer around here. Then I look up on official demon hunter status. It's all a matter of knowing where to look."

Andrew turned around at the new voice. It seemed familiar. But he didn't recognize the face. "Is this another new Slayer?" he asked Buffy. More and more power seemed to be coming to the manor. If Kennedy alone wasn't enough, there were plenty of other nearby people to possess. Probably Buffy. She had left her out, but... she was alot more powerful than anyone else in the house, whether or not she knew it. She should probably stay away from Kennedy, letting the lesser-powered like him, Dawn, and Xander take care of her. "Anyways, I think that I should go handle Kennedy. If it's looking for power, we shouldn't keep Slayers around it. Where is she?"

She couldn't help it.
She snickered.
She tried to hold it in. She choked. She gasped, then she snickered again, and finally Buffy let loose with some howling laughter, a slight edge of hysterics to it.
After a minute or two, she winded down, and took a deep breath. Laughed again for 30 seconds.
"Andrew, this is Tara. Oz. Tara." Snort.
"Oh, God. Ok. Um."
She turned to the hermaphrodite, then thought, oh no, really? I hope not.
"It's cool, we're gonna figure it out soon."
Buffy then informed Andrew, "Last I saw, she was up in her room. But - where's Angel?"

Andrew started to say he didn't know, then blushed and started to stammer. Uh, I, I think he was, um, upstairs. He turned to Oz. "Oz? Werewolf Oz? Why is he all girly?" Andrew reached out without thinking too much and poked one of Oz (Tara's?) breasts. Then he remembered to about 5 seconds ago in the conversation when Buffy had mentioned this. "Why is he a girl? Not that it's, uh, bad if he wants to be, but..." he drifted off and pretended to suddenly be very interested in the sofa.
