"I'm glad that you're trying so hard with your father, Connor." Koren
said, wrapping his arms around her.
"I'm glad you're glad." He answered, kissing her softly. "Is it possible to fall in love in 3 weeks?" He whispered into her ear.
"I don't know and I don't care." Said she, returning his kiss. "I know that I feel very strongly about you, but I'm not sure if I can call it love. I've never been in love before. At least I don't remember it."
"I promise you I'll find someway to restore your memory." Connor hissed, harshly, hating the fact that there was nothing he could do for her. "I'll even ask for help to find a way."

"It's coming." Cordy sat up in bed in a trance. "From beneath us it will rise and it will devour." Angel glanced over at Cordy and called for Gunn, Fred, and Lorne.
"Cordy." Angel called softly, shaking her as the others ran in.
"It's coming and it's coming fast. It will rise and devour us all. Unless she can be persuaded to good." Cordelia answered him mechanically, still deep in her trance. The Powers that Be were transferring knowledge through her, directly. Something they'd never done before. "Release Mannaline from her prison and give her human form. Give good a chance in this battle and persuade the Balance to good." Then Cordy collapsed back into the bed as the Powers that Be cut off their connection with her.
"Where can we find Mannaline?" Angel turn to Lorne and the others as he tucked Cordy back into her bed.
"Well, she could be anywhere! She could---" Fred stopped as she was cut off by the ringing phone. Gunn ran out of the room and down the stairs to get the phone.
"Angel Investigations. How may I help you?" Gunn pulled out a pen and began to jot down notes as the other phone rang. "Bleeding walls? Spread towels under it and please hold." He picked up the other phone as everyone came down the stairs. "Angel Investigations. What? Look, if Fluffy tries to eat your spine again, hit it hard with a bat and we'll be there as soon as possible. Yes? Back to the bleeding walls. Spritz it with a little 409 or Windex and we'll get there as soon as possible."
"Business?" Angel asked, glancing at his notes as the phone rang again. "Angel Investigations. You have a half naked girl sitting in your room demanding to see a whom? Koren? Look, get the girl a blanket and we'll be there as soon as possible. She's what? Blonde, blue eyes, pointy ears? Listen, I'll be out there personally. Give me a few minutes, okay?" Angel hung up the phone. "I think we found Mannaline." He grabbed his car keys.
"Look, Fred, some with me while the rest of you work on the phones and the other problems. Bleeding wall? Towels and leave the room. Killer kitty, shoot it with a sawed off rifle. If it doesn't die, ax to the head, aught to do it."

"What the flying hell do you mean you can't?" Lilah screamed.
"Exactly that. She recognizes me. Or she thinks she does and that won't work." Rhiannon put her feet on Lilah's desk. "I think we move onto plan B. She and wonder boy's son have something for one another. We can kill two birds with one stone. Get the girl on our side and Angel extremely pissed off. Spell Cordelia to seduce Connor."

"There's something wrong. I can feel it. I need to see Angel." Koren whispered, rubbing her arms.
"What do you mean? We'll go, but what do you mean?" Connor asked, wrapping his arms around her. Koren had gotten out of bed for some reason and Connor followed closely behind her.
"There's something coming. It's coming and its coming fast. It wants me Connor. It doesn't want the sun to come up. It's keeping the sun with it. It wants to kill, Connor. It wants to kill everything and everyone. And it wants me to help. It wants me to kill you Connor! But I won't! I won't hurt you." She screamed, tense. "Leave me alone! I won't do it! It wants to destroy everything! It wants to kill you and me! It wants to take over and create havoc on the world! LEAVE ME ALONE! I WON'T DO IT! I WON'T!" She collapsed into Connor's arms.
"Koren!" He shook her gently with no avail. Sighing, he picked her up and carried her to the Hyperion.

"What happened?" Angel demanded as Connor laid Koren down on the couch.
"She collapsed. We were on our way over here and she started to scream about something coming. Something evil that will devour. It's keeping the sun from rising. It wants to kill and it wants her to kill. It won't leave her alone, Dad. I want it to leave her alone. What's going on? What's coming? What is it? Why won't it leave my Koren alone?"
"I'm not sure, son. Cordy had a vision, straight from the Powers that Be. They know something's going on and they're just as scared as we are. They say we need to free Mannaline from her prison and let her sway the Balance to good. Connor, Koren is the balance." Angel sighed, sitting down and putting his head into his hands. "She's the source. It's her choice. If she goes to the side of good, then good will win this war. It will stop this, whatever this is. If she goes to evil, all evil will prevail."
"So you mean, I'm going to either save the world or destroy it?" Koren asked, sitting up slowly.
"That about covers it. Everyone is after you. And I've just got a call about an elf like creature and I think she may be Mannaline. I was on my way out to see her."
"I'll go with you." Koren said, getting up.
"And I'll come too." Connor followed her.
"No, Connor. I want to face her alone. I want to go alone and the only way I can get there is through Angel. He'll be there to protect me, Connor. It'll be fine. Stay here and help them find out what's going on." She whispered to him. She pressed her lips to his and pulled away, whispering, "I love you, Connor." Before she followed Angel out the door.

A/N: Well, do you like? Tell me! This will of course, follow along to Connor and Cordy together. I really hated that when I saw it. Connor is mine. Cordy doesn't need him. She has Angel. Leave Connor alone! =)
