Chapter Twelve



Wesley removed his glasses and rubbed his eyes, again. He's been researching demons the feed on sexual energy for twenty hours straight.

Gunn was on the computer attempting to find out any useful information about the two previous incidents. Fred was in the courtyard holding a one sided conversation with the rose bushes.

The phone ringing was a welcome distraction. "Angel Invest-"

"Wesley?"

"Angel, how is everything?"

"So far, we're all okay. Did you find anything?"

Wesley started flipping through his notes, "I found three demons that are embodied with the traits that you've told me about."

"Xander and I found an amulet. It was round and silver with an emerald or green stone in the center. There were carvings on the edges but I didn't have time to write them down."

"That's good. That sounds like the talisman to raise one of the demons I found." Angel could hear papers shuffling through the phone line. "Ah, here it is. It's called a Fiyohr demon. Primarily female demons, males are used only for reproduction. The way a female becomes aroused is by feeding of the released sexual energy of procreating humans. Using her-"

"Wesley, I'm kind of on a schedule here. How do I kill it."

"Oh, um…It's vulnerable, like humans. Stabbing, brake its neck or decapitation, pretty much anything. It's strong but so are vampires and we kill them on a regular basis."

"That's good news. Why would David want to call her? What does she do?"

Reading from the book that lay pen on his desk, "In exchange for three ritual sacrifices over a period of three years, the Fiyohr demon will give its worshippers the life they most desire."

"Let me guess, money, power, success," Angel took an unneeded breath and let it out slowly. This was Wilson Christopher all over again.

"That is the most common desire. Who doesn't wish to be more powerful and rich than they already are?"

"Wait just a second. You said that the energy has to be released?"

"Yes, I did."

"What do you mean? How does released sexual energy do anything to this demon?"

"I mean, when the couple is…making love, they give off energy, just like when you run or fight. You are always giving off energy and this demon feeds when the couple…climax because that is when they give off the most sexual energy."

"So they are going to force either Xander and Anya or Cordelia and I to…have sex?"

"Well think about it. They probably bring the pair together and tell them that they won, or something, and that they can now be together away from everyone. They take advantage of the opportunity thinking how great David is when he's really sacrificing them to a demon so he can have everything he's ever wanted."

"So, long story short, sex is bad."

"Precisely," Wesley took a deep breath, "Angel, you must work fast. The other contestants were sacrificed on the sixth night."

"Tomorrow," he said needlessly.

"I guess all there is to say now is good luck."

"Thanks, Wes."

He had to tell Cordelia what Wesley had found out. He quickly jotted down the conversation and set off to find his delivery boy.

Day six



Cordelia was sitting at a table in the main courtyard under the shade of an umbrella, sipping a margarita. He eyes scanned the pool in front of her. The men were playing a game of water volleyball. Anya was the referee in spite of the fact that she knew nothing of the game.

"You should have been able to hit that one," she called to the young man who barely missed the ball before it landed in the water with a splash. "I think your punishment should be…lose the suit."

"What?!" he asked flabbergasted.

Anya just smiled at him, "I'm the referee and I said 'lose the suit'. Now!"

All the other men chuckled at his expression as he removed his only piece of clothing."

"Throw it here," she held out her hand. He did as he was told. Laughing, she

started spinning the swimming suit around and whooping.

Cordelia couldn't help but laugh at her. She was really enjoying her new found dominatrix role. Although she did tell Cordelia about how her and Xander have enjoyed spanking.

Shaking her head and grinning, she returned her attention to her drink. "Would the lady like a refill?" She looked up at the young boy and nodded her head. He poured more of the margarita mix into her nearly full cup. Placing new 'napkins' under the glass, he leaned in close enough and whispered, "I am sorry for not getting this to you sooner, they were watching me last night."

She smiled and thanked him, and he turned and went back to work. She returned her gaze to the pool, where Anya was disrobing another single. Making sure that all the cameras were focused on the activities and not on her, she opened the note. After quickly reading it's contents she called Anya over to her.

After throwing the men's shorts back in the water, beginning a game of keep away, she sauntered over to the table and sat next to her.

"Angel found some stuff out. We are facing a demon and it feeds on released sexual energy. So, because neither of us cheated, we might be the ones sacrificed. But-"

"Oh my God, oh my God. I need to have sex. Right now!" Anya started to panic and was about to jump the bones of the nearest single when Cordy pulled her back to reality.

"Anya! Calm down," she looked around and lowered her voice. "Angel and I both haven't had sex in years. If anyone's going to be sacrificed, it will be us."



~*~*~*~



Angel thought it was better that him and Cordy or Xander and Anya were going to be the ones in danger. Not that that was a good thing, but they had a better chance of survival considering that they knew demons existed, while anyone else would scream and run.

He slowly walked towards the beach, where he knew Xander and some of the girls were playing Frisbee. He patted him on his shoulder to get his attention.

Xander threw the Frisbee back to one of the women, "See you later ladies. What's up?"

Angel filled Xander in on the situation.

"Oh man. I thought I was doing the right thing by not cheating, but now that my life could depend on my lack of celibacy…I think that Wendy was very nice."

"It won't be you."

"How can you be so sure?"

"Because it's been a long time since either Cordelia or I have had sex. Therefore more pent up energy waiting to be released."

"Oh. Great," Xander practically collapsed with relief.

"That means that they will want to get me away from the cameras, and to the cliff. Just so you know, I won't leave the bar at all tonight, and if I do it won't be of my own accord. Understand?"

"Yeah, I understand. I'll keep an eye on you."

That Night



Xander and Angel were sitting on opposite sides of the bar facing each other, and watching for anything suspicious.

They had both ordered non-alcoholic beer, to make it look like everything is normal, without getting intoxicated. Angel was sipping his when Skylar, one of the blonde singles, dropped herself in his lap.

"How you doing, handsome? Only one more day, only one more chance to be with me." She rubbed her behind over his groin, "I know you want to."

He put all of his concentration in not throwing this girl across the room. Instead he gently lifter her to her feet, "I'm fine where I am thank you."

Skylar wraps her arms around his waste, "Baby, I know that's a lie."

"Only one more day until I can be with the woman I really want. I don't need a quick fix but thanks."

The blonde raised her hands, as if to show how empty they were, "Fine, fine, but you will regret it because I've been told that I'm quite a ride."

Angel visibly shook himself. That woman was way too…bold. In his day the women played meek and innocent until you got into the bedroom. Then they were as brazen as…that's not important.



Across the bar



Xander was watching the exchange between Angel and Skylar. He almost laughed out loud at Angel's expression when she started to rub herself against him. He did let out a small chuckle at his knee jerk reaction to lift her off of him. He took a sip of the pointless beer and watched curiously when Skylar wrapped her arms around Angel's waist. She was putting something in his drink. Now she's pulled away and put on an 'I'm innocent' look. Don't drink the beer, Angel, don't drink, Xander tried to send his brain waves across the bar. How the hell does Willow do that?

When Angel sat back down he raised his glass to his lips. Xander was staring at him so hard he thought that his eyes might pop out of his head. Luckily for him, Angel noticed his look. Xander lowered his eyes to the beer and gave a slight shake of his head. He received a nod in return.



Across the bar



Angel caught Xander's bulging eyes and noticed him shaking his head while looking at his beer. So the tramp tried to drug him did she. He'll just go along with her plan, he pretended to take a sip of the drugged beverage. After a few minutes, Angel rose and stumbled out of the bar.

When he reached the exit, Skylar appeared, "I knew you'd change your mind." She put an arm around his waist and pulled his over her shoulders and steered them towards Heresy Bay.
