Angelus backed away from Cordelia slowly and she sank to the ground, a shaking hand going up to her head. Yep, a nice big lump was forming where her head had connected with the wall courtesy of Angelus.

Angelus stared at the girl now sitting numbly on the floor and touching her head. "What the hell did you do to me?" he asked in a low voice that she had never heard before.

Cordelia just sat back against the wall and shaking like a leaf. She almost didn't hear his question through her numbness, she blinked rapidly trying to bring her world back into focus. "What did I what?" she asked as she looked up at him with her hand still at her head.

"You heard me, I want to know what you've done to me" Angelus repeated his demand.

"I-I haven't done anything, I already told you what happened" Cordelia told him honestly, her eyes glazing over once again with tears that hadn't been spilled yet.

"You lied" he ground out, forcing his anger down with an abnormal amount of control.

"I didn't lie, I swear I didn't. I really did trip over your hand in the alley" Cordelia repeated how she found had found him. "I was going to stake you but I couldn't"

"Instead you put some kind of spell on me"

"I haven't, I'm not Witchy Willow" Cordelia snapped, her making her attitude hide her fear as best she could again.

"You must have done something to me, tell me what" Angelus demanded as he kneeled down in front of her. "I'm not playing a game with you Cordelia, I will kill you instantly if you don't tell me what the hell you're playing at" he warned seriously.

"But I didn't do anything apart from not kill you and you were right about that at least. It was a stupid mistake on my part" Cordelia snapped as she leaned as close to the wall as she could get.

"You're lying to me" Angelus told her as he forced her to look at him, his hold on her bottom jaw leaving red finger marks on her skin.

Cordelia yanked his hand from her jaw, "I am not lying to you. I don't lie just like I don't do tact because that's just not saying true stuff. You should be thanking me not threatening and attacking me. I could've just left you there to fry and not saved your ass"

"If you didn't do anything, then why can't I kill you?"

"Excuse me for not being sad about that fact"

Angelus stood up and looked at the girl who huddled as close to the wall as she could. He around her shoulders and her hazel eyes that burned with fire, fear and tears. He'd never before seen a young girl be so scared yet so defiant and brave at once. How did he overlook her for so long?

"What are you looking at?" Cordelia asked quietly.

"How's your head?" he asked

"How's yours? You aren't supposed to care, remember?" she fumed, her voice still shaking from his violent behaviour and sudden change in attitude.

The urge to take her physically, mentally and mortally was almost overwhelming. He needed to get away from her. The smell of her invaded every bit of him, lacing itself into his very being. He had to get away but he wouldn't run. "You should get some sleep" he told her uncertainly.

Cordelia looked up at him in confusion. She'd never once heard Angelus be so uncertain. "Like I could ever sleep with you around"

"I give you my word, I won't kill you"

"Not believing"

"Look, if I was going to kill you tonight, I would have done it. Now go to bed" Angelus ordered her and pulled her to her feet. He caught her as she stumbled, still groggy from the blow to her head. He scooped her up and carried her up the stairs.

"Which room?" he asked and opened the door Cordelia pointed to and walked to her bed. He laid her out on the bed, covering her with blankets.

Angelus watched as she promptly passed out, too out of it to care about the murderous vampire that had been tucking her in. He sat in a chair beside her bed and watched her in the dark. He watched how her breasts rose and fell with each breath and he watched how her eyelids fluttered. He was completely fascinated by everything she was.

He had just drifted off himself when he was awakened by her screaming. He ran to the side of her bed and shook her roughly to wake her from her nightmare. "Wake up" he yelled at her. Upon her opening eyes, he was greeted with an even louder scream. He clamped his hand over her mouth and growled at her, "Shut up"

Cordelia bit down on his hand causing him to yelp and pull away from her. She scooted away from him and tried to jump to her feet, only causing herself to fall to the ground. "OoooH" she groaned, holding her head gingerly. She saw him standing over her and groaned again. "When did you get cloned?"

"What?" Angelus asked the clearly lucid girl.

"There's like.one.two.three" she mumbled, pointing everywhere around him.

"Get back in bed" he picked Cordelia up and put her firmly back in the bed. "You have concussion"

"What are you my doctor now?" she asked sarcastically. "You're the reason I have a con.cus.sion" Her eyes began to slide shut and Angelus shook her, causing her head to throb more. "Do you mind? Rude much"

"You can't go to sleep" Angelus told her.

"Sure I can. Just close my eyes and the happy place comes to me. And guess what. You're not there" Cordelia replied

"How am I going to keep you awake?" Angelus asked himself as much as her. He looked down at her and decided on crawling into the bed beside her.

"EWW! Okay, already living with the sight of you in a two-piece bikini. Out of my bed" she held her head, the sheer force of yelling at him making it pound even worse. "Keep your grubby, gross, dead hands off me" Cordelia warned, not having the strength to fight with him.

"I wasn't planning anything, but now that you mention it." Angelus grinned, resting a hand on her tiny waist. "Wait.what'd you mean about me in a bikini?"

"And matching sarong" Cordelia giggled.

"What?"

"My nightmare. Worst I've ever had. Scary" she shuddered. "Coral so isn't your colour. And you had a limp. Come to think of it, I think you were limp" she told him seriously and then burst into a fit of giggles.

Angelus was ready to let her go to sleep, no matter the consequences. Hell, he was ready to knock her out himself.

"Ew! Dead hands off me" Cordelia yelped as he gripped her waist tightly.

Angelus had no intentions on removing his hands. He had to do anything to get her off this incredibly humiliating topic. He never knew vampires could know the meaning of humility but he definitely did now. He pushed her down into the soft mattress and lowered his face until he was almost touching hers. "How about I think of something more entertaining to keep you awake?"

"Oh God, you're worse than a teenage boy" Cordelia whined and tried to push him off. "Do high school boys and vampires think about anything besides sex? You're all the same. You're just like Xander. Trying to do the horizontal hula with me but thinking about Buffy all the time. Neither of you think with your brains" she spoke, her voice tinged with sadness. "He'd go running to her the first chance he got"

Angelus felt his rage growing stronger. No one manipulated or hurt one of his obsessions but him. But when exactly had Cordelia become his obsession?
