Chapter 2
Gunn sat in the Hyperion with his head in his hands. Angel had yelled at him already along with Wes. He had actually been afraid when Angel had been screaming at him. With the look on his face he wouldn't have been surprised if Angel actually hurt him, physically. After that Angel had stormed out mumbling something about patrolling. Wesley left soon after to get books. Now he was sitting there in the dark all alone, and he kept replaying the whole fight over and over in his mind. He kept seeing her eyes fill up with tears and the look of hurt on her face. //what have I done.//
Cordelia had tried her best to kill the demon. But they had been fighting for a while and she started to get tired, not to mention the thousands of cuts and bruises she had from being thrown around like a rag doll. The demon managed to get her pinned on the ground. Cordelia screamed out in pain as the demon choked her.
"H..ee….lllll…p" The young seer stuttered while trying to free herself from the demon's grip.
"No one is coming to help you you stupid seer. No one cares if you live or not. I heard you say it yourself while you were over there crying in your own self pity. You're pathedic. Just like all of you. You all fight us like you're better just because you have powers. Well, no more. I'll make sure of it." With that she picked the seer up with one hand and threw across the alley. Cordelia slammed head first into the brick wall and slid down the wall leaving a smear of blood.
Gunn was pacing pack and forth in the old hotel. //were is she? She's not at home. She never went home. She's not here. Not with Angel or Wes. She's not answering her cell phone. God, where is she? Maybe she's fine. Maybe she just doesn't want to talk to anyone. That would make sense.// But no matter what he told himself he just couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Really wrong. He knew it and it was driving him crazy that he couldn't find her.
"Damn it! Where are you girl!?"
Just then he heard a ring. It took him a minute to register what it was.
"Cell phone!"
He fumbled with the phone and turned it on.
"Cordy?" He asked hopefully.
"No, but I'm calling about Cordelia Chase. I assume you know her. I'm calling from the St. Joseph hospital. We tried to find family with no success. We found this number on a card in her purse. Are you family?"
"No..yes..uh, what happened? Is she okay?"
"We really can't release that kind of information to people who aren't family."
"I'm the closest thing to family she has! What? Happened?"
"She was attacked. She has substained a serious head injury. Someone needs to come down here right away. "
"I'm on my way."
Gunn stormed into the hospital pratically braking the door off the hinges. He had called Angel on the way there.
"I'm looking for Cordelia Chase!"
"Are you family?"
"YES! Where is she?"
"The doctors are with her, you can go sit in the waiting room over there. Someone will come over and update you."
"I need to see her. What's going on? Is she okay?"
"You can see her later. Someone will come and update you on everything very soon. You need help us help her by sitting down."
Gunn reluctently went into the waiting room. //How can I help her from a stupid waiting room! She needs me! I need to see her//.
"Damn it!" Gunn slammed a chair into the wall, just as Angel and Wesley were approaching.
"What happened to her!" Angel practically groweled.
"I dunno, they won't let me see her, and they haven't told what happened. All I know is she was attacked and got a pretty bad head injury."
Just then a doctor walked into the small waiting room to see the three pissed off looking men.
"Are you all here for Miss Chase?"
