Part 2, Cold Revenge

Angelus raised an eyebrow at the now unconscious girl on the floor; he really hadn't meant to knock her out like that. He stood there dripping wet with a helpless female laying out cold on the floor. He stood there dripping wet because of the helpless female on the floor.

He was dripping wet and she was helpless.

Another smile spread across his face as his eyes landed on the bucket dropped haplessly to her side. Angelus sighed innocently as he picked it up.

The darkness that Cordelia was cloaked in was violently taken away from her as freezing cold water fell all over her. Hazel eyes snapping open in shock, "Aarrgghh!" she shrieked as she heaved and panted for breath.

Angelus stood back, holding the empty bucket, and watched happily as Cordelia slowly sat up and raised her wet arms and glared at him. "What the hell did you do that for?" she hissed as she began to shiver from the cold.

"I was just repaying the favour, don't I get a thank you?" Angelus asked innocently.

"Aurgh," Cordelia growled, "Look at me, I'm soaking wet"

"That makes two of us."

"No, you're a vampire and don't have any body heat." Cordelia began to shiver slightly as the air mingled with the cold water droplets on her arms. "I'm human, I-I feel the c-cold." Her teeth began to slightly chatter as the water seeped into her skin.

"Here let me help you up," Angelus said, his voice dripping with insincerity.

"Sure," Cordelia answered. She shook, but she wasn't sure if it was from fear or the freezing water. As soon as she was firmly on her feet, she kicked him as hard as she could in the crotch and ran like hell.

"Bitch!" Angelus gasped out as he doubled over. Regaining his composure and took off after her. He followed Cordelia up the stairs and looked at the seemingly endless hallway of doors. She could have gone into any one of them. "Cordelia, make it easy on both of us and just come on out. You aren't safe anywhere; I'll find you."

"In your vampire dreams," Cordelia muttered from behind the closed door and looked for her escape. She spied the laundry chute and smiled. "I always loved doing this as a kid."

Angelus opened the door that held her scent the most and looked into the empty room. "I know you're in here Cordelia." He followed the scent to the walk-in closet and looked down the dark laundry chute. "Oh, you've got to be kidding me."

Cordelia heard him hit the bare floor with a crash and smiled to herself. What an ingenious idea it had been to move the pile of laundry that had cushioned her fall. She'd seen enough cartoons to know how to get away from the bad guy!

She slammed the basement door shut and locked it. Cordelia looked around for something to barricade the door with and grabbed a spare chair. She wedged it tightly underneath the doorknob, preventing him from getting out right away.

Okay, think Cor. What to do when you have a vampire locked in your basement? Call a Slayer! she thought. Cordelia ran to the nearest phone and her heart sank when the line turned up dead.

"Sorry Cordelia, but there will be no phone for you," Angelus' voice called out from behind the basement door when he heard her curse. "Can't have you inviting uninvited guests over."

Cordelia tapped the heel of her hand against her forehead, trying to figure out how she was going to get out of this. She didn't know how long the door, lock, and chair were going to hold up against Angelus' incessant banging. "Will you shut up and let me think?" she finally yelled at him, her head throbbing from the noise.

"Come on Cordelia. Let me out of here. I promise not to kill you," he cooed, pressing his cheek against the smooth wood. "Right away," he added so only he could hear.

"What have you been smoking? I'm not opening this door until I have a Slayer here to dust your sorry ass. Why did I save you again?" Cordelia mentally berated herself for her earlier weakness.

"Because you want me to make you scream, I could make you scream Cordelia. I could make you scream in ways that no one else has ever made you scream." He caressed the door with his cool hand, suddenly longing to touch her.

"Okay, not having a death wish here. Not wanting to scream," Cordelia replied as she looked around frantically for inspiration.

"Oh no Cordelia, this will be fun. This will be right before I kill you."

"Are you making a pass at me?" Cordelia cried out in shock as she stared at the door separating her from the insanely evil vampire.

"Cordelia, open the door. I promise to make your last night memorable for both of us," he purred.

"First of all, your promises hold no weight with me. Second, you're dead and ew! No dead guy is ever going to get his gross, embalmed hands on me! And third, how would it be memorable for me if I was dead and couldn't remember it? Hmmph." Cordelia shot back. She tried to sound as brave as she could but she couldn't deny the fact she was scared to death.

She grabbed a knife out of the kitchen and haphazardly made a cross out of two wooden spoons and some tape, hoping it would do the trick. Cordelia then planted herself across from the basement door, determined not to sleep that night. She knew the best course of action would be to get as far away from her house as possible, but that wasn't an option. Out there were hundreds more vampires, at least here there was only one.

One with an all access pass to her house, yes. One that was totally insane, yes. And one that was hitting on her, yes. There would be no sleep for Cordelia Chase tonight.

*****************************

Cordelia was almost resorting to holding her eyelids open she was so tired, but at least Angelus had stopped his banging and shut up. Maybe he was asleep or maybe he had spontaneously combusted with any luck, but she was not going to open that door to find out. Not even if he was pleading with her and telling her that money did in fact grow on trees. No force was ever going to get her to open that door.

No force, not even the force that was removing the spoons from her hands, was going to get her to open that door. Not even the force that was picking her up and making her relax against a nice, comfy chest was going to get her to open that door.

Cordelia always knew that Keanu Reeves would see sense one of these days and fall madly in love with her. Angelus was really going to get his ass kicked now she thought smugly. Keanu had even made the freezing cold water warm after a while, that's how much of a God Keanu Reeves was. And if Angelus thought he could take him on, Cordelia knew who she'd be backing!

Angelus was safely locked behind the basement door so a few minutes sleep couldn't hurt right? Cordelia sighed happily and snuggled into Keanu. "I just knew you'd come around. Took you long enough," she huffed in her half- asleep half-awake state.

Angelus blinked away his slight confusion at her words, now he had his paws on her he could do what ever he wanted to her. A malicious grin that showed off his sharp fangs lit up his face, the vampire picked up his pace as he walked through the living room doorway.

The water which he had used to wake Cordelia up with had also soaked the tile flooring hadn't been cleaned up; Angelus slipped and landed flat on his back with a loud grunt.

The fall jolted Cordelia fully awake, as did Angelus' grunt of pain. "Wha. Whur." she mumbled, still blinking when the dim light hit her eyes. "Uuuhhhh." she groaned as her current situation came gushing back to haunt her.

Cordelia realized she was being held captive in somebody's arms, she slowly looked at her captor and saw Angelus just staring at her ceiling, silently mouthing 'Why me?' at it.

"How the hell did you get out?" Cordelia screeched as she kicked out at him with her legs and pushed against his chest. "What? Did you pay so much attention to those worms from your first death casket that you picked up a trick or two?"

Angelus caught her hands to stop her from pushing against him and trying to get away, Cordelia squirmed round until her knees were between his legs. "I always knew you were the dominant type Cordelia," he told her as he squeezed her wrists tighter.

Cordelia used the muscles in her legs to do a small spring and landed with her knees colliding with his solar plexus. Angelus doubled over into a slightly sitting position and let her hands go so he could clutch his gut, "You'll pay for that," he warned as she picked herself up off the floor.

"No, you're going to pay for ruining my mother's new flooring tiles and my shoes," Cordelia hissed back as she went to run again but his hand clamped down on her ankle and brought her to a yelping crash on the floor. "Oww, you big bully, let go of me!" She tried to kick out at him again but Angelus now held both of her ankles still.

He crawled over her back, pinning her to the floor with his body, his legs now straddling her hips and his hands holding hers above her head. "If you can get out of this, I'll let you go unharmed," he told her with a smirk.

Cordelia cussed and cursed as she kicked her legs uselessly and finally gave up because it was futile to fight in this position. She calmed herself as much as she could by taking deep, long breaths as she remained still. Just wait a minute, Cordelia thought, he'll get to cocky then I can kick him where it hurts again and do something that doesn't involve pathetic basement doors.

"That's better, this is how I like my women Cordelia. Good to know you're a fast study," Angelus whispered in her ear. He got both her hands in one of his larger ones and ran the other down her side, making her squirm and wiggle even more than she already was. He squeezed the bottom part of her rib cage and Cordelia let out an undignified screech and snort as she tried more squirming to get away.

"Go on Cordelia, put up a little fight makes the game so much more fun." Angelus continued his assault on her rib cage, not realizing Cordelia was squirming so much because it was tickling her.

Angelus' wandering hand was running smoothly up and down her right side and Cordelia was trying her hardest to hold it in. She kept trying to get his hand on a less sensitive part of her body. He had a finger that insisted on prodding her ribs every time his hand moved upwards and it really tickled.

The vampire tried to hold the squirming and snorting girl still but Cordelia was starting to really jerk against him. "That's the spirit," Angelus said to her with a smile, "I promised I'd make you scream, let's see what I can do about that"

Cordelia could feel his face close to the back of her head as she heard him take in a deep breath. She had to get herself under control and act quickly. She snapped the back of her head straight into his nose and used his momentary surprise to flip over and push him off her. "Take that," she said as she scrambled to her feet once again and went to take off again.

Angelus brought his hand to his wounded nose, feeling the blood that was oozing from it. "Bitch!" he yelled at her again and jumped to his feet. He gained on her before she could get more than a few steps from him and violently pinned her to the wall. He pressed his body against her, using his full weight and strength, her body threatening to crush beneath his.

"I wanted to have some fun with you first, but you've left me no choice." He banged her head hard against the wall and pulled her head sideways revealing the slender column of her neck. "Mmmm..." he felt a shudder go through her as he was millimeters from piercing her flesh with his fangs when he looked at her face.

It wasn't the face of defiance that it was before. It was one of terror; she was a terrified little girl. He saw the tears in her eyes and loosened his grip on her cautiously. He wanted to drink her so badly, but at the same time, he didn't want to kill her. Hurt her, yes, but not kill her. "What the hell is wrong with me?"
