Meeting New People
There I was just minding my own business and low and behold, I got a visit,
--------------------
Kennedy sighed as she checked the piece of paper. This was the information about the new slayer. Taking a deep breath, she knocked on the door. This was such a stupid plan.
Kris looked up from doing some pressups before she drew her feet back up towards where her hands were positioned on the ground. Getting back up to her full height, she snatched up the towel and dried off her body before walking over, the door opening before an eyebrow arched to the stranger standing in the hall.
Kennedy was cracking her neck from when the door opened, her body still sore from her last run in with faith.
"Kris?" she asked. "I'm Kennedy. One of the other slayers."
" That's me." Kris commented a little warily before she nodded her head," Yeah, a guy by the name of Ethan told me, I'd be seeing you at some point." She leaned against her doorway.
Kennedy blinked, the name Ethan not ringing a name. "Right," she said smiling. "So, guess I'm supposed to show you the ropes and all. Normally Buffy would do that, but they have their hands full at the moment."
" Ropes?" Kris asked with another lift of her eyebrow," I already know how to be a Slayer, kinda got it shoved in my face and well, I've faced my fair share of vampires but more demons than anything." She shook her head before she gestured," Come on in."
Kennedy nodded, coming in, and finding a comfortable spot on top of the table. "well, you know.. just to give you the heads up on the shit going down here. Didn't know how much experience eyou had. we got a bunch of green girls last year," she said.
Kris chuckled faintly, cracking her neck to the side before she hooked her fingers together and lifted her arms above her head," I'm experienced, trust me, I'm experienced." Her thoughts went to the demon fighting ring.
Kennedy smiled. "Thank god. Not sure if I could handle another newbie slayer who's afraid of breaking a nail. Where you from? Don't think i was ever told."
Eyeing her own nails, Kris arched an eyebrow, shaking her head with a laugh," Definitely no worries there." She shrugged her shoulders, before answering." Chicago but I found myself in New Orleans for a while."
Kennedy nodded. "Nice. passed through there once.. I'm sure you've heard about us. Buffy's the big head slayer.. she's been one for almost eight years, then there's faith - who's going on five years now, but was in jail for a while. Then there's a whole bunch who were called last year who come and go. But hellmouth here, so that's why we're here. Big apocalypse thing going down.."
Kris nodded her head, taking in all the information," Gotcha, I have the feeling these apocalypse things are pretty normal, run of the mill things?"
Kennedy shrugged. "Apparently it's a yearly occurance, but everyone always gets worked up about it. aand then there's the usual fight evil thing."
" Sounds like fun." Kris commented with a bemused look.
Kennedy shrugged. "You learn to enjoy it. After all, welcome to the rest of your life. Evil never really goes away." She sighed. "well, one of buffy's friends is being held hostage by two strong vamps right now, so they're working on a rescue plan which should be going down shortly. And we could definitely use the extra fire power if you're willing..."
Kris' eyes went to the pictures, the pictures Ethan had left behind," Well, consider me in, that's if the people you know think they can trust me."
Kennedy nodded. "They should. they usually do.. although sometimes they're weird about who they trust. " Pulling out a piece of paper, she scribbled something down. 'That's Buffy's address and phone - she's got a training room downstairs and most meetings take place there. That's my cell phone number on the bottom. i'm staying at tthe motel two streets over for the time being. I think we're meeting at Buffy's tonight or tomorrow.."
Kris nodded her head," Gotcha, I'll give her a call at some point. It's about time I got to know the head Slayer, right?"
Kennedy nodded. "Always good. She likes to be informed about things." Checking her watch, she cursed. "Fuck, I prromised someone i'd meet them. Listen, give me a call, and we'll go patrolling together. Tonightt or some otther night.."
" Alright then. I'm doing a solo tonight anyhow." Kris answered
Kennedy nodded. Good for her. fuck Buffy's rules. "Sounds good. I'll let you know when the meeting is so thatt you can meet everyone.."
" Alright cool, I'd appreciate that." Kris said with a smile.
Kennedy smiled. All in all, she liked this girl. Jumping off the table, she winced slightlly. Damn bruised ribs.
"Right, well, call buffy. I'll give you a call later totight.. and don't get yourself killed.."
Kris chuckled softly, noting the wince but not saying anything for the moment," Wasn't planning on it, I kinda like being alive, there's that whole heart beating and chocolate thing."
Kennedy laughed. "chocolate cures eeverything," she said heading for the door. "i'll see you soon.."
" See you soon and nice to meet you Kennedy." Kris commented with a genuine smile.
Kennedy nodded, smiling like she hadn't in awhile. "Ditto. Take care.." she said as she left the motel room.
--------------------
Kennedy's her name and slaying's her game it would seem, nice to know there's more people like me out there in the world, for a while, I was beginning to doubt it, I mean, I faced how many demons in that ring with no backup? I lost count after the first couple of fights, but each one got more and more difficult but I'm alive so that's something, right?
I called this Buffy, she seems nice enough, said something about me paying her a visit and gave me her address. So, that's what I'm going to do, find this place, talk with these people and see what I can learn and if I can help, I want to help.
Also need to find a job at some point.
