The War
Cordelia opened her eyes to see that she was in a small white room, much like the one she was in before. She tried to get up but felt so much pain surge through her. She remembered her struggle with all of the bodyguards or whatever it was that they were. Cordelia managed to get up right when she saw the door knob twist. Lilah walked right into the door.
"Looks like someone's up," Lilah said.
"Looks like someone got badly beaten by a pan," Cordelia said as she looked at the side of Lilah's head.
"You know, I don't understand. I treated you right. I kept you alive and safe from him yet there you go again. You are so stubborn you know that. He could have killed you," Lilah said.
"He didn't," Cordelia said.
"Yeah but don't be so sure about the next time. You were taking a lot on. You risked so much and you were lucky. I tried to protect you," Lilah said.
"How? By telling me lies? I know the truth," Cordelia said.
"Really? The truth? The only way for you to know the complete truth would be for you to remember everything. To remember who you really are. Where you came from. Why you are here. Do you know the answers to any of those questions? I didn't think so. As long as you can't remember who you are you've got nothing. How do you know who to trust? You say you know the truth but do you really? Everything you are basing your life on is what Angel and I have told you," Lilah said.
"Yeah well one of you is lying," Cordelia said.
"Well yeah, obviously. But which one? How do you know who is truly on your side? You don't! That's just it, you don't. He could be playing the good guy right now. Pretending that he's this vampire with a sould and that he would never hurt you but how can you believe that?" Lilah asked.
"Because he hasn't hurt me yet," Cordelia said.
"Exactly, yet. How do you know he won't later? Do you honestly think that he would have killed you in front of all those people? Angel is smart. He's playing his cards well. He's not taking any chances. Everything that you have been going through up until today could be all a joke! Everything that has happened could all be a part of a sick plan to get you back and put you through all the torture you have been in. Think about that. I'll be back later," Lilah said as she left the room and locked the door behind her.
Cordelia looked down at the floor and let herself fall down. Lilah was right. She had no way of knowing. All that was going through her mind could all be a joke. The ghost could even be part of it. Everything could be well played out and she had no way of knowing. Cordelia looked around and tears started to roll down her eyes. Who was she? Why couldn't she remember? If she could only. If she could only remember. It would make everything so much easier. She was alone. She couldn't trust anyone. Everyone was using her. She didn't even think she could trust herself.

Angel stormed into the Caritas.
"Lorne!" Angel shouted out with Wesley and Gunn following him.
"Hey! Angel cakes! Don't just barge into here shouting like that. Now if only you could use that voice to try to sing," Lorne said.
"Lorne I'm not in the mood. Something's happened to-"
"Cordelia and you want me to tell you where she is since I'm this demon who's in some what a link to the powers that be so therefore I should know where she is," Lorne said.
"Where is she?" Angel asked impatiently.
"How should I know? I'm not the one that kidnapped her. You see that guy over there. He can tell you something. He saw Cordelia last and from what I can tell, she gave him a thing or two," Lorne said as Angel made his way to the guy. He went over and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and picked him up only to then realize that it was Gavin Parks.
"Where's Cordelia?" Angel asked him while shouting in his face.
"I don't know what you're talking about," the Gavin said while his voice was trembling. Angel lost all of his patience. Angel was furiated. His game face came on.
"I'm going to ask you one more time before I kill you. Where is she?" Angel asked as he gritted his fangs.
"Alright, alright. Lilah, Lilah took her," the Gavin said.
"Where did she take her?" Angel asked him as he shook him.
"It's one of Wolfram & Hart's facilities that we have close ties to," Gavin said.
"And you're going to be a nice man and tell me where it is aren't you?" Angel said to Gavin. He nodded and Angel put him down. He wrote down the address and handed it to Angel. He examined it and then looked back at the Gavin. He noticed that he had a huge bruise on the left side of his face.
"Did Cordelia really do that to you?" Gunn asked as he neared Gavin. Gavin rolled his eyes.
"Yes," he said.
"That's my girl," Angel said as the three of them left.
* * *
Cordelia was pacing around in the room. Any minute now Lilah would be coming into that room. She had to find a way to escape but how? The room was completely sealed and the only way to get out was the locked door or the barred window. She looked around the room. It was empty.
Cordelia looked up at the window and walked towards it. She grabbed onto the rusted bars and started to pull on them. They were on too tight but then she grabbed another one that seemed to be a little bit more loose than the others. She used all of her strength and pulled as hard as she could at the bar. The bar wasn't letting up but right when it looked as if the bar would win over Cordelia, the rusted bar gave way. Cordelia's eyes brightened and she held onto the bar with all her might. The gap in the window was still too small for her to fit through but hopefully the bar would come in handy. She looked over and noticed the door knob turning.
Cordelia ran behind the door and waited for Lilah to come in. The door opened and in walked Lilah. Cordelia held the bar and swung it with all her might and hit Lilah.
Lilah fell on the floor. She shook her head as if trying to regain herself. Cordelia looked down at Lilah and then started to run out the door. She could hear Lilah's screams behind her yelling for people to stop her.
Cordelia ran as fast as she could. She couldn't get caught. She had to get away from that place. She had to get away from Lilah, Angel and just Los Angeles in general. Cordelia turned into another hallway and she could see an elevator at the far end of the hall. Cordelia focused on it. She turned around and could see that there were a few guys following her, trying to catch up to her. She ran and she could see the elevator more clearer now. The elevator door opened and she was about to run into it when she saw Angel and his gang in it. Cordelia panicked and ran the other way and started to run down the stairs. This couldn't be happening. She needed to get out of there as soon as possible. If she stayed in there any longer, who knows what her fate would be.
She turned around and saw Angel, his gang, and the other bodyguards all following her. She could hear Angel screaming out her name. Cordelia started to run even faster. She had to get away from them. Cordelia went down the stairs as fast as she could but then she felt dizzy. Much like she had before. She couldn't focus. She tried to regain her balance but it was no use. Cordelia started to fall. She could hear Angel scream her name but it sounded so far away.
She started to see things much like she had earlier. All the memories were coming together. She saw herself having visions. She saw how Angel was always coming to her, keeping her from falling. She saw how worried he was and always asking her if she was ok. Then she saw herself in the bathroom lifting her shirt up to examine slash marks on her stomach and Angel knocking on the door trying to find out if she was ok. She saw herself lying in a bed with Angel sitting right next to her, holding on to her hand and reassuring her that she wasn't a bad person, that she was strong. Then she saw herself getting bit by a blonde vampire. She saw Angel storming into the room and pulling the vampire away from her. She saw him swoop her off her feet and carry her away from danger.
Everything started to come back together. All the missing pieces were coming together. She saw herself in some kind of shoot where she was wearing a bikini and rubbing on some kind of lotion on some guy and she had this guy yelling at her to bend down furthur. She saw Angel coming in to defend her. She saw the gang, Wesley doing research, Gunn messing around with some of the weapons. She saw Fred doing some kind of equations with her big glasses on. She saw the baby, Connor. She saw them all at the hospital. She saw herself holding the baby and Gunn coming in with the stroller. Then she saw Angel. She saw them both sitting down having breakfast even though she knew he really had no taste for food but she saw themselves talking. She saw herself smiling and she saw Angel smile. Something she knew he didn't do very often. She remembered. She remembered it all.
As quickly as the vision had come, it had left. It felt like an eternity but it had only been a split second. It took her a couple of seconds to realize that she was falling until she hit the floor and everything went black.
Angel stopped in front of Cordelia and noticed that she had gotten unconscious. He saw Wesley and Gunn coming down the stairs as well as all the other bodyguards.
"Hold them back as much as possible! I need to get her out of here," Angel said as he swooped up Cordelia in his arms and ran out the door hopefully leading to somewhere close to the exit. Wesley and Gunn stopped at the foot of the steps and waited for the bodyguards. They started to fight in the beginning of the war.
Angel ran as fast as he could while carrying Cordelia. He turned into a corner and noticed a bunch of the bodyguards. He turned back around and started to run another way but there were bodyguards everywhere. He was surrounded. Then he turned and saw that Lilah was walking towards him but kept her distance.
"Well, we meet again Angel. Don't tell me this is the war that I have been counting the days for," Lilah said.
"Oh, I didn't want to disappoint you," Angel said.
"Oh, me? Dissapointed? Looks like you're the one who should be disappointed. Is this what you had planned? Try to save the girl only at the end you get each other killed? Good plan but sounds like my wish is about to come true," Lilah said with a smile.
"What wish is that?" Gunn asked. Lilah turned around only to be faced by Wesley and Gunn as well as all of Gunn's crew.
"Now!" Wesley shouted. At that remark all of the bodyguards game faces came on. Every single one ended up being a vampire. And then again, just as the earlier battle had begun, the war started off. Angel put Cordelia off in a corner where there was a wall so she couldn't get hurt. He laid her down gently and then his game face came on. He ran to the vampires and started to fight them off. Lilah ran out of the room scared. She took one of the company cars and sped away.
All of the gang took on more than one vampire. Gunn was fighting two vampires at the same time. He kicked one in the stomach and punched the other one in the face. Then both of the vampires regained their senses and both headed towards Gunn at the same time at opposite ends. As soon as they got closer, Gunn took out his two stakes and annilhated them both.
Wesley was off in another corner fighting a couple of vampires. A demon punched Wesley in the face which sent him to a wall. He saw the vampire heading towards him. Wesley kicked him in the stomach, picked him up and staked it. He turned around and saw that there was a vampire behind him. The vampire picked Wesley up by the neck, lifting him up from the ground. Wesley was choking on his grip but then managed to get a hold of his stake and jammed the stake through the vampire, hitting the mark. The vampire turned into dust and Wesley fell to the ground. He shook his head and then went over to help Gunn.
Angel got himself surrounded by five vampires.
"Looks like your odds aren't that good," one of the vampires snickered at him.
"Oh, it's just fine," Angel said as one of the vampires lunged at him.
Angel punched him in the face and then did a spin and kicked another vampire in the stomach. Two vampires grabbed Angel's arms. Another vampire was coming towards him with a stake in his hand. Angel waited for the vampire to get close enough. Right as the vampire was about to stake him, Angel jumped up, grabbed the stake with his feet, plunged the stake into the vampire's heart and finished his backflip. He came back into his right position and grabbed the stake before it could fall on the floor and plunged it into one of the vampire's heart and then into the other. He saw the other two vampires he had faced earlier. He broke the stake in two and threw them at the vampires. The stakes hit their mark perfectly and the two vampires turned into dust.
The remaining vampires saw that they were no match for the gang and one by one started to run away until all that was left was dust and a couple of bodies from Gunn's crew. The rest of Gunn's crew carried away the bodies and eventually left.
"I'm sorry about-"
"Don't worry about it. They knew what they were up against. They died the way they wanted. Saving someone," Gunn said to Angel. Wesley looked over to where Cordelia was.
"We have to get her some medical attention," Wesley said. Angel nodded and went over and picked Cordelia up and headed towards the hospital.
