CHAPTER 4
Lediv sat in a very fine hotel room, plush couches rested on a purple plush couch. A small white orb watching the small quarrle between Angel and Cordelia a cruel smile played across his lips. Everything looked like it was going to work out perfectly. Angel would be out of the picture and Cordelia would be his for the takings. And he wanted to take her. She could be his new queen, reighn by his side. She was beautiful, witty, and full of so much fire. Fire that could dimish the fired in Hell, he liked that. He ran his hand lightly over the orb to watch Cordelia sleep. Her lips partly open as her her short hair was sprawled across her pillow a few strands framing her face, her lips twitched some as he watched. She was a Goddess. She would be his Goddess.

Cordelias dreams were plagued with demons and death. She moved around fitfully, then her eyes fluttered open as she was staring into the darkness as a pad and pencil came floating over to her immeditately. Leave it to Dennis.
"Not a visions Dennis. Just a nightmare. And I'm pretty sure of it..no ax like pain in skull." She said to her ghostly roommate but it still hung there then the pencil wrote on the paper, flipping the paid around it said ANGEL.
"No I'm not calling Angel, i'm just gonna lie back down and try to get a few more hours of sleep, I'm a bit tired still." With that the pad and pencil floated away and out of her room. She laid back down and closed her eyes but sleep would be a long time coming she knew that. Her dream felt so real. But it wasnt, she would never do those things she had done. She certainly knew she wouldnt kill Gunn and torture Wes and Angel till they begged and screamed her name in praise. Althought she wouldnt mind having Angel do that..then her eyes snapped back open. That was a nightmare in itself and where did that thought come from anyways? She didnt need Angel nor want him that way must be the sleep deprived Cordelia talking.

In the morning at Angel Investigations, Wesley was busy working on a new case that had arrived earlier that morning and Angel was yet to be seen as Cordelia breezed into the office.
"Morning Wes. Donut?"
"Table..you know i found it difficult to believe that we have no books on a Keriosh demon, that speaks on how to kill it."
"A what? Mind not talking about work till I had a cup of coffee please?"
"Late night?" Wesley asked with an inquisitive brow raise.
"Didnt sleep well. Nightmares." She said blandly as she poured herself a cup of coffee and walked over to her desk flipping on her moniter.
"Visions?"
"No. Nightmares. Didnt you hear me the first time?" She snapped at him.
Just at that moment Angel walked into the room buttoning up his black silk shirt, he glanced at Cordelia then Wesley and walked over to the fridge not even saying a word to either of them as he pulled out a packet of blood popping it in the microwave. Wesley looked over at Cordelia wondering if there was something wrong with Angel that he didnt know about.
"Angel, I've been working on a case all morning and I think perhaps I need to go to the occult store and get us a new book. I cannot seem to find how to kill a Keriosh demon." The reply Wesley got was just a simple nod as Angel stared at Cordelia from over the rim of his mug, she was obvisouly unaware that he was watching her.
"Yes..well them..I'll just get going. I shall return soon." He grabbed his coat and headed out of the hotel. Then an eerie silence came over the hotel. Cordelia glanced up to see Angel staring at her she perked a perfect thin brow at him as it signifiing 'what'.
"I want to know more about the man you met."
She slammed the pen down that she was writing with and sighed loudly and exageratedly.
"Fine what do you want to know?"
"Name. Where you met him?. Where he's from? What's he doing here in LA? Who does he work for?"
"Lediv Cilfuer, met him when I was at that party. Dont know. Dont know. And again Dont know."
"You didnt bother to ask him any of these questions?"
"Well yeah but maybe I dont think it's any of your business who I'm seeing." She got up moved across the room to put a few files away, Angel was by her side in an instant slamming the file door shut with a mencing look on his face.
"I dont like this Cordelia. Something about him isnt right."
That did not get him the reaction he wanted, instead she scowled at him.
"I think that you just cant stand the fact that unlike the rest of the people that work here I can go out and have fun. Its not going to end up like last time Angel. I learned my lesson. I like this guy. Alot. And i will not have you or Wes or Gunn or anybody ruin this for me. The only person that's allowed to ruin this is me."
"Fine. But next date i get to met him."
"No."
"Why?"
"Because you'll just go get all big brother on him and then he wont want to take me out because my best freind is a loony!"
That struck him deep. Now he knew how people felt when he was Angelus and he wounded them with his sharp venomous tongue. But this time she hadnt known how much she hurt him. Angel covered the pain in his eyes. That's all she thought of him a best freind. A brother figure. Nothing more then that. He knew he should be flattered but instead he was pained by it. She held his heart and she didnt even know it.
"I promise. I wont."
Then she gave him her best smile, just then the phone rang. Cordelia brushed past him, sending small shivers down his spine at her light touch.
"Angel Investigations we help the hopeless...Lediv!
