Title: Temptation Island

Author: Spike 'n Cordy

Summary: When the reality television show "Temptation Island" guests start disappearing Angel and Cordelia must go under cover to find out why. Special appearances by Xander and Anya.

Author's notes: First off I have to repeat myself in saying that I've only seen one episode of Temptation Island, so for those of you who do watch it, I'm sorry for the changes I've made to it. I'm just using the main idea for the show, not all of the details that go along with it. Nikki mentioned something about a bon fire and I have to tell her that I have no clue what she's talking about, and I'm sorry. Thanks to everyone who is reviewing, I really appreciate it.

Disclaimers: I own nothing.



Chapter Eleven



Day Five



Cordelia sat alone in her private hut waiting for breakfast in bed, when the young boy who was serving as the link between her and Angel, entered.

He set the tray across her lap, "Will that be all ma'am?"

She lifted the swan shaped napkin to reveal another letter from Angel. Smiling at the boy, "Yes, thank you." When the boy left the room she opened it.



Cordy,

I managed to call Wesley and he's researching what you told me. I will try to call him again tonight and will contact you with any information.

Angel



After quickly finishing her food, she dressed and was ready to face the day. Carlos promised to give her a massage and she was not going to pass that up.

Swinging her sun hat and humming to herself, Cordelia strutted into the courtyard. "Good morning, Anya."

"Morning," she answered distractedly, "Something happened to that really nice girl."

The pair walked towards the small group of men that surrounded the crying Jamie.

"What happened?" Cordelia asked as she crouched before Jamie.

"He…he... he cheated," she managed to get out before breaking down again.

Anya lowered herself on to the arm of the devastated woman's chair and offered her kind of comfort, "I can help you extract revenge if you wanted. I still have an in with the vengeance dem-Hey! Why'd you do that?"

Cordelia pulled Anya away from the weeping girl and the cameras that surrounded her. Hissing in the ex-vengeance demon's ear, "People at home don't exactly know that demons exist."

"This would be a great way for them to learn."

"And what about the possibility that Angel and I are hunting a demon on this island. It gives us the heads up if it doesn't know that we know about its kind."

Seeing that the two girls had shuffled away from the group, a cameraman took it upon himself to catch their private conversation. Only his luck wasn't great when the brunette spotted him and pulled away from the cute strawberry-blonde. She reached for one of the single men, "Carlos, you promised me a massage." Oh well, he still had a job to do and followed the pair down to the beach.

"Hey, watch it," Angel whispered harshly to Xander, who's foot hit his face as the younger man scrambled through the window into David's hut.

"Sorry," his head poked through the small window, "I'll open the door for you."

Angel crept to the front of the hut keeping a look out for anyone who could be watching their breaking and entering.

They had been searching the room for ten minutes when Xander asked, "What's this?" He held out a circular piece of metal with an emerald center.

He studied the object closely and noticed symbols etched on the silver. "I'm not sure. Get a piece of paper."

"Why?"

"So I can write down the carvings." Soft whistling outside the small hut brought an end to the search for a blank piece of paper. "Quick, out the window."

Angel bounded for the door and hastily re-locked it while Xander vaulted out the window. The tuneless whistle was just beyond the entrance, forcing Angel to dive through the open window to avoid detection. Landing soundlessly in the soft sand, the men jumped into nearby shrubs for a place to hide.

"That was close," Xander panted.

Angel merely nodded, his mind was on the talisman. What was it for?

"What do we do now?"

"Now? I guess we find the place where the bodies washed up. Maybe there are some clues."

After an hour of searching they finally found the correct harbor. "This is it," Angel put the small map, provided by the show, back into his pocket, "Heresy Bay."

"What are we looking for, exactly?"

"I don't know."

"This looks like all the others, except for the peninsula is a lot higher. The others were just piles of rock, this one has a-"

"Cliff. A great place to throw off a body," Angel noted.

"What are you doing?" Robert surprised them from behind. Then spun around to see him standing ten yards away.

"I…we…we were just exploring the island a little. Only two more days and we thought that we should take this opportunity to…explore," Angel finished lamely.

"This is my favorite spot on the island and your presence is ruining it for me," the host glared at them. "You should go back to where the cameras are because that's how I get paid."

They left the self-centered man to his private retreat and walked back to the resort discussing possible scenarios with the information they had collected.

"Do you think they know about us?" Angel's weird look made him re-fraise, "I mean, know about us snooping around?"

"I'm not sure. Robert did seem to want us away from that bay. I think he might have bought our 'looking around' excuse but we can't be sure."

"We should probably hang out with the women for a few hours just in case we're being watched by more than the cameras."

David's Hut



Robert and David were sitting around the table watching the numerous video monitors.

"Who do you think will last the longest?" David asked leaning back in his chair.

Robert was focused on the monitor that was showing the dinner interview, "What? Oh, I thought Jamie and…that guy would win."

"Me too. But unfortunately they're gone. Between the last two, who do you think?"

"None of them seem to be tempted. Anya seems to be more so then Cordelia. But Cordelia seems to have a lot more sexual tension then Anya. It's like she hasn't had sex in years. And those two guys…" he leaned closer to the producer, "I think they're more interested in each other then the women. Did you see this tape? They went into the washroom together. I wonder what they were doing?"

"I thought I was the only one that noticed that. It would be really funny, and damn good TV, if they did cheat on their respective girlfriends, but with each other."

"But what would we do then? We need a heterosexual couple to sacrifice to Fiyohr."

"They don't have to be heterosexual, they just have to be able to perform with each other. So what if he's gay, if he can get it up and in her, all will be well. Angel and Cordelia seem to be the least satisfied out of the four. We'll go with them." Robert held the amulet in the light from the setting sun, green sparkles shone on to the walls, "After this, our third sacrifice, Fiyohr will make us young, handsome, rich and successful forever."
