Mikkel had snuck away from the group and into the restroom. Once inside, he locked the door and pulled out the blue stone from his pocket, proceeding the same way he had done in the bathroom on the plane.
“Progress?” came a voice from the stone.
“I have the necklace. I am ready,” Mikkel answered.
“Good, you must do it soon before they become too suspicious. I am surprised they are letting you stay at all, after that stunt you pulled with the witch.”
“I couldn’t help that,” Mikkel retorted. “She grabbed onto my power before I could stop her. She is powerful, the black magick just flowed from me like water.”
“Just see to it that nothing goes wrong. I will not stand for any mistakes!”
“Of course not. I have everything under control. I am sure you will feel when I begin. I will expect you then,” Mikkel finished, and with that the voice was gone.
************************
Kennedy was sitting with Willow. Willow was quiet now, the ropes still restraining her. Every once in a while she would let out a small murmur.
“Willow, I don’t know what to do,” Kennedy said, putting her head in her hands. “I feel so powerless. I wish you were here to tell me what to do. You were always so calm in times of crises.”
Kennedy rubbed her tired eyes. She couldn’t remember when she last had a good night sleep and it was almost 9 p.m.. She needed some sleep but she couldn’t rest, not until Willow was better.
“I’m sorry I have been so distant lately. If you just wake up everything will be fine. I promise. Please,” Kennedy pleaded.
“Hey,” she heard from the doorway. “I was taking a small research break when I heard you in here. Is there anything I can do to help?” Charlotte asked, walking into the room.
“No, just being here and helping with the research is all you can do,” Kennedy said with an appreciative smile. She got up and stretched. “Speaking of research, I should probably get back to help.” She started to exit but was blocked by Charlotte.
“You should rest Kennedy,” Charlotte said, placing a hand on the girl’s waist to stop her retreat.
“No, I need to help. Can’t sleep anyway.”
“Kenn, really, you are running yourself ragged,” Charlotte said, pulling Kennedy closer until there bodies were touching. “You look really beat.
Kennedy gasped slightly at the contact. She could feel Charlotte’s breath on her cheek. “No, I really…” But she was cut off by Charlotte’s lips upon her own.
For a moment Kennedy didn’t know what was happening, she was lost in the kiss. Then, like a lightening bolt, it struck her. Charlotte was kissing her. She pushed her away forcefully. “What are you doing!?!” she said fiercely.
“I was kissing you,” Charlotte said smiling.
“I know that,” Kennedy said, slightly flustered. Then her angry began to surface. “I know what it was. I mean, what were you thinking? Kissing me, here, in front of Willow. In OUR bedroom,” she emphasized.
“Kenn, I…..”
“No,” Kennedy cut off. “Don’t call me that. How could you? Why, what were you thinking? I am in love with Willow. You know that!” Kennedy finished, storming from the room.
“Kennedy wait,” Charlotte said, running after her.
Kennedy ran past the groups of people in the living room and dinning room. Picking up her jacket, she opened the front door.
“Wait, Kenn,” Faith said. “Where are you going?”
“Out,” was all Kennedy said. “I just need to get out of here, get some air.”
“Kennedy, I don’t think it’s such a good idea for you to be out tonight. Not with the Touruk Demons about,” Giles said.
“I’ll be careful, I just have to…” Kennedy didn’t finish. She left.
“Does she remind anyone else of Buffy sometimes?” Faith quipped. Everyone just stared at her. “Hey I’m just stating what everyone else is thinking.”
********************
Kennedy stormed down the street. How could she be so stupid? Why didn’t she see it before? The way Charlotte looked at her. The way she said her name and her blue eyes had that glint, her long blonde hair streaming down her back….Stop it, Kennedy scolded herself! She absolutely did not see Charlotte in that way.
How could she let Charlotte do that? Kiss her in the bedroom she and Willow shared. With Willow right there, watching. Okay not exactly watching, but close enough. She was the worst girlfriend ever. She was scum, she was worse then scum. She was the queen of all scum.
She should have a seen it coming, but she didn’t want to. There was an energy between them and Charlotte had dropped hints. SHE was just to stupid to see them.
“Kennedy,” someone said from behind her.
“You,” she said, pointing at Charlotte. “You stay away from me. You and your devil lips, just stop there,” Kennedy said, stepping back.
“Kennedy, we need to ….” But that was all Charlotte got out before both girls collapsed on the sidewalk.
