Chapter Thirteen



Cordelia took another sip of her coke. She didn't order an alcoholic beverage because she wanted her head clear tonight. Anya sat beside her, also drinking a coke.

She was lost in thought, trying to figure out who to trust on the island and who not to. The always-annoying Pete was paying special attention to her all day and it was making her uncomfortable. But was she over reacting or was she right to believe he might have something to do with the death of those two couples.

"I noticed you were almost empty, so I took the liberty to get you another drink," Pete placed the glass in front of her. She smiled her thanks, before he turned and went to sit back at his table.

All of her attention was on the room around her, she didn't even notice when it started to spin. Blinking rapidly, Cordelia tried to focus her eyes. She carefully put her head in her hands in an attempt to keep her head from falling off completely. He drugged her drink. That son of a bitch drugged her.

"You aren't looking to good, Cordelia. Maybe I should help you back to your room," Pete offered.

Panic flowed through Cordelia, she tried to say no but her head wasn't working with her. He pulled her into him embrace and started to walk to the exit. She managed to send Anya a pleading look.

She quickly jumped up from her seat, "I'll take her."

"No I wouldn't want to ruin your evening."

"Think nothing of it. I'm her friend, I'll help her. Now give her to me," her voice raised louder then normal, trying to draw attention to them.

Pete noticed this too so he agreed and passed Cordelia off to Anya.

She slowly half walked, half-dragged Cordelia towards her hut. "What happened? One minute you're fine, the next-" She was cut off by Pete's fist connecting with her face. Both girls landed on the ground on a heap. Pete disentangled Cordelia from the unconscious Anya's grasp.

He lifted her into his arms and headed to Heresy Bay.

On the Cliff



Skylar had led Angel to the top of the peninsula where David waited for him.

"What's happening?" he asked David.

"We thought that you and Cordelia did so well, that we'd let you have a secret rendezvous. This is the most romantic spot on the island and you two deserve it."

His gaze went past the producer to Cordelia who was leaning on a man for support. So they succeeded in drugging her.

When Cordelia spotted him she squealed, "Angel." She left the man's side and wobbled over to where he sat, and threw herself into his arms. "I missed you," she snuggled deeper into his chest, causing him to have thoughts that could, at this place and time, literally kill him.

"We'll leave you two alone," Robert said as he, Skylar and the man backed away down the peninsula.

"Cordelia?" he lifted her chin so he could see her eyes. Even with the lack of light her could see that her pupils were dilated.

"You have the most beautiful eyes," she slurred.

"Cordelia, they drugged you. You are not yourself, but we have to pretend to…have…to be…intimate, other wise they'll know that we aren't really a couple. So I'm not taking advantage of you, I'm just keeping us alive a little bit longer, OK?"

Her answer was to straddle his stretched out legs and kiss him softly. His hands instinctively went to her hips as she clasped hers at the nape of his neck. Angel moaned into her mouth when she ground herself against him. Their kisses became more passionate as the pace of their hips increased. The kiss broke long enough for Angel to remove his shirt. He then flipped them over and her legs wrapped around his waist. His tongue bathed her neck and collarbone.

"Angel," she breathed when his hands found her breasts and tenderly rubbed the peaks into hard nubs. Her own hands slid down to cup his erection through his pants.

He pulled away from her touch, "No. Cordelia, this is supposed to be an act. We can't actually go through with it."

"You don't want me?" her eyes were hurt but still full of desire.

He lowered his head to her shoulder, "God yes. I've dreamed of this, but we can't. My curse."

Cordelia looked so beautiful lying beneath him. Her hair was messed, her lips swollen, and her eyes beckoning him to make love her. But it was just the drugs. She would never want to under normal circumstances. She would never risk Angelus getting out. But under the influence of drugs, she seemed to forget all of the consequences and only feels. How he wished he could just take advantage of this situation, but he couldn't. Not Cordelia.

On the beach



Anya held her hand to her bruised jaw. She saw Pete take Cordelia up to the top of the cliff and was about to follow.

"Anya," she turned at the sound of Xander's voice.

Relief etched her every feature, "Xander."

She squeezed him so tightly he could hardly choke out, "Air."

"Sorry. I was so worried."

"Me too," he smiled down at her then noticed the bruise on her chin. "What happened?"

"That bastard, Pete, did something to Cordelia and I was helping her back to her room when he punched me."

"Are you okay?" his eyes laced with such concern her heart almost melted. All she could do was nod. He kissed her softly before getting down to business, "What's happening here?"

"Pete carried Cordelia up there," she pointed to the cliff, "I was about to go after them."

"No, they took Angel up there earlier. They should be safe until the demon comes."

"Money, money, money," David chanted as he and Pete came down from the jetty.

Anya and Xander, who were hiding behind some bushes, halted their conversation. Silently they crept closer to where David and Pete joined Robert and Skylar around a small bon fire.

The foursome was looking up at the cliff.

"They are definitely going to make us proud," David declared before adding, "and rich, successful, young and handsome forever." They all broke into laughter.

Calming down first, Robert brought them to the task at hand, "We should begin the ritual."

Simultaneously they began to chant and dance around the flames.



On the Cliff



Quiet chanting brought Angel back to reality. Back to the reason they were in this position in the first place. They were summoning Fiyohr. He turned his head and looked down to the beach. They had built a small fire, and were dancing around it. Soon the demon would come to this reality and try and kill them. He better get prepared.

He regretfully rolled off of Cordelia who gave a small cry in protest. "They're calling the demon, we have to get ready to fight," he explained pushing her grabbing hands away from him.

"Fine," she huffed and sat up crossing her arms.

Angel crouched near her, in case someone was keeping an eye on them, so they still looked like they were together. He scanned the near by area for a weapon of some sort. He decided on a large rock.

He didn't have to wait long, soon the air on the tip of the peninsula started to become thick. Fiyohr stepped through the fog on to the edge of the cliff.

"What is this?" she asked, one of her six arms pointed at them. "You are to be fornicating. Begin now!"

"Sorry sweetheart, but you've turned me off," Angel mocked.

Fiyohr lashed out at him, he dodged the first fist but caught the other two. He went sprawling back, when he turned towards her again he was in game face.

The beast gave a howl of animosity, "They try to sacrifice a vampire to me? I want my offering."

Angel used her distracted behavior as an opportunity and threw the rock at her head. It hit her in between the eyes causing her to lose her balance and fall backwards over the cliff.



On the beach



Xander was about to attack the group when Anya grabbed his arm, "If they summon the demon, Angel can kill it so it can never be called again. That will put a stop to them for good."

They sat back and waited for the end. They weren't waiting long. The group suddenly went completely still, then collapsed, panting for air. The couple pounced.

Anya went straight to Pete and began to punch his face as hard as she could. He tried to defend himself, but the ex-vengeance demon held the upper hand. "How do you like that, huh?" she asked before beginning a new round of beatings.

Xander fought both Robert and David. He had punched Robert onto the ground just as a howl chorused through the sky distracting him long enough for David to get in a good punch. Before Xander could recover, David pinned him to the ground and began hitting his face.

Skylar was weak from the ritual but attacked Anya, who was still raining blows on Pete, anyway. She curled into a ball to protect her face and body from Skylar kicks. Waiting for the next impact that never came, Anya peeked through her arms and saw Cordelia tackle Skylar to the ground and Angel pulling David off of Xander. Regaining her senses, she crawled towards Pete to make sure he was unconscious.

"How?" David asked as Angel held him up with one hand by the amulet that hung around his neck, his other hand poised for the final punch.

"How what?"

"How could you escape the mistress when the other couples could not?"

Angel sneered at the confused man before slipping into his game face. "Never sacrifice a demon to a demon, they don't really like that." With that he struck David one last time snapping the chain of the talisman and sending his limp body to the ground.

Slipping back into his human visage he crushed the amulet with one hand. He looked around at the scene in front of him, Xander and Anya standing over the inanimate bodies Pete and Robert. Cordelia and Skylar were pulling each other's hair mercilessly.

Running over to her side, he pulled the brunette off of the screaming blonde. She jumped to her feet and continued to yell at them. "You ruined everything. All you had to do was die, just like the others. We didn't kill them so that you could wreck this for us."

Angel looked over the shoulder of the ranting girl and saw one of the camera crews filming the exchange. "Who'd you kill?"

"Those other couples, you moron. And you were suppose to die just like them."

"Who was involved in this?"

"The four of us, idiot, weren't you paying attention. Me, David, Robert and Pete killed those four people just like we were going to kill you until you ruined it."

"Oh my God!" Skylar turned around and saw the shocked looks on the camera crew's face.

"Son of a bitch," she started stalking towards the frightened crew, "Give me that tape."

Angel grabbed her arm and pulled her towards his waiting fist, knocking her out. "Give me the tape and go call the police." The camera crew did as they were told, and ran as fast as their feet would carry them to the nearest phone.

Xander and Anya's eyes connected and they ran to each other again. "I love you," they repeated over and over again.

"You guys okay?" Angel broke them out of their state of bliss.

"Yeah. We're fine." Xander noticed him carrying Cordelia, "How's she?"

"They drugged her, she's passed out now, but she'll be fine."

"I think we should get the hell off this island," Anya stated.

"Ah, yes. The once beautiful exotic island, seems so much like Sunnydale, we should have just stayed home. At least there, you can have as much sex as possible."

"Speak for yourself," Angel said causing the three conscious people to laugh.
