Chapter Eleven: The Other Cordelia

Buffy got home late. Nothing turned up with the nerd trio, although a very strange guy hit on her.... He could easily have made the trio a quartet.

"Dawn!" Buffy shouted. "I'm home!"

"Hey, any luck?" Dawn asked, appearing from the living room.

"If luck is not finding people...then yep. A city-full. I don't understand where these guys could be."

"You'll find them," Dawn assured her. "Buffy, what was the name of that lawfirm...then one that was all evil?"

"Specifics Dawn," Buffy told her, hanging up her coat.

"The L.A. one," Dawn specified.

"Oh, Wolfram and Deer I think...no...I'm not sure, why?"

"Just wondering. I mean Warren was building bots in a restaurant on land they own...just seems suspicious. Evil law firm, evil nerds, evil waitress robots... Maybe they're working together?" Dawn suggested.

"Willow's been looking into that - but I don't really see a whole connection. Why would a rich powerful law firm need nerds for?"

Angel caught Cordelia as she leapt, trying to prevent herself from getting hurt, or hurting them. She clawed him, and blood fell to the beige carpet. Cordelia kicked Angel into a wall, and then set her sights upon Spike.

"Love, you really don't want to do that," He told her. "Remember, I'm the vampire that didn't bite you're ass!"

"Your mithake," She lisped, her voice having an echo. "My athvanthage." She sliced through his pale skink, leaving deep cuts across his chest. Spike knocked her to the side, trying to pin her limbs to the ground. Her tail wrapped around his throat, trying to choke him.

Spike laughed. "Love, I don't need to breath," he grinned, as Angel pinned Cordelia's arms to the side, and Spike sat on her legs.

She screamed in frustration. Gavin paled, and quickly ran out of the office, as Angel and Spike looked around for something to tie her down with.

"She's bloody insane!" Spike told him, as Cordelia twisted and turned to get away.

"Cordy, Cordy listen to me," Angel said softly in her ear. "We're going to take you home to help you."

"NO!" Cordelia shrieked, throwing herself in different directions, but the two vampires had her. The carried her out, receiving stares, but no fights.

* * *

Gunn put his hands over his ears. Cordelia had been banging on the door for over an hour.

"We need to help her, and now," Gunn stated. "Or else I'm going to go insane!"

Angel walked over to the door, and opened it, and quickly shut it.

"I was thinking more about moving her to a soundproof room, but hey if the man wants to get his ass kicked..." Gunn remarked.

* * *

Cordelia stared at the man who had entered her room.

Images came to her, but she didn't understand them. They didn't belong to her, they belonged to the other one. The human.

She was the demon, she was the power, the strength.

Cordelia didn't know where the other one had gone. She had heard the human part crying, sobbing after they broke her into pieces. Then there was the shaman who had used the pretty stone to bring her out.

So now the demon Cordelia was in control - and she expected to have fun.

Sitting in the locked room wasn't fun.

Cordelia lunged at the man, who dodged her. She slammed into the wall, but rebounded, knocking him off balance. She clawed at him, kicked, punched, snarled, and bit, and soon the man was bleeding.

Cordelia wanted the man to fight back. He didn't smell like a man - he smelled of death, and cologne. Who is this guy? Cordelia wondered. He's young looking - but smells old.

She could also smell the power off him. He'd be a challenge. And she wanted to fight - so why wouldn't he.

Coward. She told him.

"No," He told her.

Fight back then.

"Cordy - come back to me. Come back to us," the man told her.

I am here. Fight Me! She screamed, and he winced. His head ached.

"No."

WHY NOT! She screeched, throwing him against a wall. It cracked, plaster falling to the ground. Using this strategy to get out, Cordelia kept on throwing him in the same place. If he wouldn't fight, then fine. She'd find someone who would.

An image of a blond man flashed through her eyes. He'll fight. She thought to herself, as a hole began to form in the wall. She threw the man to the side, and began making the hole larger.

Arms encircled her waist, pulling her away. She flipped foward, sending the man flying.

"Cordy, you have to come back to us!" The man told her.

You mean the human? Why should she surface again? Cordelia asked. She flung the man across the room again. This was boring.

He stumbled to his feet, and pinned her against the wall, surprising her with his strength.

"I love you," He told her. He kissed her.

Cordelia's eyes opened in surprise.

In the back of her mind, she could feel the human, gaining power, growing stronger. She screamed, and pushed him away.

"I need you Cordelia," He went on.

No! She sobbed, clutching her head. She didn't want to be the human. The human felt pain, the human could die... She was invincible!

"Come back to me, please," he begged, kneeling by her.

Cordelia looked up at him. Come on, look how cute he looks The human Cordelia said. He loves us, both of us.

Cordelia threw her arms around Angel, kissing him.

Her demon features returned to human features, all except her tail.

"Oh God Angel, I'm so sorry-" She sobbed.

"Shh, It's okay," He kissed her, almost crying himself. "I thought you were gone."

"No," She held him. "I love you, I'm so sorry I thought I wanted to be normal but I'll never be. And I don't care anymore. I just want to be with you," She told him.

Angel kissed her, as she cried.

"I don't hear anything," Fred reported.

"You don't think she killed him do you?" Gunn asked.

"Doubtful - Angel's strong," Wesley said.

"Never piss off a woman though," Spike remarked. "Maybe they're shagging."

The three humans looked at him.

"We really should be getting back to work." They muttered.

"What did I say?" Spike asked.

* * *

"Lindsay..." A voice called.

"Who's there?" Lindsay asked. He was in a cell, no one was supposed to be around.

"It's me, Lila," A transparent Lila appeared.

"Jesus!" He pressed himself against the wall, as far away from her as he could get.

"Now now, no need to be afraid," Lila laughed. "I'm here to help you."

"Like hell you are," Lindsay replied. "You're the one who brought me here!"

"Lindsay, I'm taking new orders now."

"So you'll help me get out?" Lindsay asked skeptically.

Lila laughed. "Who said anything about escaping? I'm here to kill you dumbass."

Lindsay paled as Lila grinned.

"This should only hurt for a second."
