Cordelia walked slowly to her car, still stuned by the lastest news. Giles hadn't been to work the other day. Imediatly after class, the whole Scooby Gang had been on it's way to the watcher's appartement. What they had discovered had made their blood turn cold.
Giles, or rather a corpse that had once looked like him, was tied to a chair. Some of his fingers were broken and his tongue had been bitten off. One of his eyes was removed from the socket, to say it lightly, and he had cuts all over his body.
But the thing that caught the most their attention was the pink tutu he wore and the deep bite mark on his neck. They had no doubts this had been done by a vampire and they had all heard the story of Angelus torturing Giles for the right ritual to awaken Acathla. So, either the vamp knew that story too or Angelus was back.
She stopped next to her car and opened her purse. She dropped the key and crouched down. She froze when a pair of black combat boots walked just in front of her. She looked up, already knowing she would face a bleached blond vampire. Slowly, she stood up, prepared to at least try to fight for her life. "Spike...what do you want?" she asked shakily.
He grinned like a maniac at her frightened look. "I just wanted to frighten you. I think it worked. But I can't say my mate just want to make you scared." He gave a look past Cordelia's shoulder. "Hello, Cutie!"
The brunette turned her head around and almost die from shock. "Faith!?" she cried. [What the hell is psycho doing here?] She tensed when she saw a dark figure moving behind the dark slayer. [Come on, Angel. Hurry up and kill her.] She fought down the urge to smile in relief... but her hope turned to horror when she saw the smirk appear on the vampire's face. "Angelus." Beside Spike, the scourge of Europe was what frightened her the most. After dealing with him about two years ago, she had had nightmares every night.
"Hello, Cordelia. Feeling lucky?"
A light voice made the girl jump. "She's so scared, the poor pet. She reaks of fear." Drusilla started to walk in her direction. "So fragile. We could easily break her in two."
Cordelia backed up when the four vampires advanced toward her. Soon enough, she was trapped in a corner, back to the wall. [How am I going to get out of this one?] She was paralized with fear, her knees shaking.
"Oh no. Don't tell me you are going to turn uncouncious on us, Cordy."
The brunette turned her head to the right side and greated the sight of a red haired vampire in leather pants and corset. Her jaw fell down almost to the ground and she gaped at her like a fish out of the water.
"What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" she asked playfully. When the mortal didn't answer, she frowned. "What? No screaming? No pleads for mercy? You're no fun!" Willow pouted, backing up toward her two lovers.
Finally able to manage a few words, Cordelia snapped her mouth shut. "Wi..Willow! Is that you?"
"No, it's Santa, of course it's me!" She sighed. "Always asking stupid questions," she muttered. "Some things never change. You see, Cordy, I don't like the way you and the rest of the Scooby Gang treated me when Oz dumped me. The truth is that bastard made you believe I cheated on him so he would still have friends after he dumped me. I still can't believe you all thought *I* was the lier. For that, you have to pay." She grabbed a dagger in Spike's duster pocket.
Cordelia eyed it frightfully. "You killed Giles, didn't you?"
"Actually, it was me who did that," answered Angelus. "Willow thought it would be poetic justice to off someone that offended us."
Willow started back toward the trembling brunette. "You were my highschool enemy, Cordelia. It only seemed right for me to turn the table on you. See an old friend be the one to kill you!"
With those last words, she jumped on the mortal that was screaming her head off. She plunged the dagger in her throat, the metal entering the wall behind the girl. A nasty grin of satisfaction appeared on the redhead's face. She turned around and walked away from the pinned girl's body, slowly cooling.
