Chapter 11: Early Morning

Cordelia, or the demon playing Cordelia, chuckled as she entered the house, she knew what she had to do and she was going to do it, whether her master wanted her to or not. She would kill the bitch and blame it on another and they would believe her, because she was the seer, who wouldn't believe her?

"Hello?" she called out, hearing a noise behind her, she mentally shrugged, nothing would mess with her, she was evil, right? That was her last thought before darkness claimed her.

Buffy's House:

Buffy awoke with a start, her heart beating wildly in her chest, she thought through her dream and realized that it was prophetic.

"Angel." she called gently, when that did not work she began to gently shake him, "Angel." she called a little, finally giving up she shoved him out of the bed, "Angel!"

"What!" he exclaimed, game face sliding on, eyes flashing, looking around the room for the danger, his eyes settling back on the giggling Buffy. Picking himself back off the ground he stalked closer to the bed.

"Now, Angel," Buffy said nervously, holding her hands up in surrender. "I just needed you to gather the others.. I had a prophetic dream." He looked at her and nodded, he pretended to turn around and leave nad then he pounced on her, careful of the baby. He kissed her passionately, before breaking away.

"Good morning." he said, smirking at her, before he turned to go.

"You might want to put some clothes on." Buffy told him, before running from the room. Angel looked down and if he could have blushed he would have done so in an instant.

"Damn that woman." he said, shaking his head, with a smile on his face, happiness evident on his face. He quickly threw his clothes and then made his way downstairs, where the assembled Scoobies where waiting. He threw a mock glare at Buffy, before she pulled him to a seat and sat on him, he pulled her into his arms and nuzzled her neck.

"Alright guys," Buffy said, "I need Giles and Wesley to start immediate recon on my dream." she began and the rest shifted uncomfortably, why where they there, "The rest of you are going to be searching for the building and the real Cordy."

"What do you mean the real Cordy?" Angel asked, confusion written on his face. "Sorry, hon, but the thing that has been with you for the last couple of years is not Cordelia that we all knew and loved in highschool." Buffy told him and hugged him, silently telling him that it wasn't his fault. "I had a dream tonight, a slayer dream.." so she told the group her dream again, "Alright, let's do this, you all have your assignments." The group began to disburse, Angel, Fred, Lorne, and Gunn going to ward the sewer exit, Tara, Xander, Willow, and Anya leaving by the front door, while Dawn went and grabbed the demon books they kept at the house and Giles went to get some more at his house.

"I'm helping." Dawn said, putting her foot down.

"I never said you weren't." Buffy told her, never looking up from her book. Dawn's jaw dropped.

"You're gonna let me help?" she exclaimed, at Buffy's nod she squealed and ran around the room.

"Dawn, you're not helping." Buffy told her, handing her sister a book. "And since you do live with a slayer, I suppose you should know what demons I face, although you still aren't patrolling with me."

"Aww, come on!"

"No."

"Please."

"Would the both of you shut up!" Wesley exclaimed and sighed when he noticed the two girls high-fiving each other.

Angel, Fred, Lorne, and Gunn: "Bad Side" of the Town

"Is she always this bossy?" Gunn asked, courious about the little blonde that he had only heard about from "Cordy" and Wesley.

"No." Angel replied, a grin crossing his face, "Usually she's worse."

"I don't ever want to know why you are grinning like that." Fred told him. "Where are we going?"

"To the bad side of town." Angel replied, waiting for the next question.

"And where is that?"

"About a half a block away from the good side of town." Angel said, smiling the first time Cordelia, Xander, and Willow had said it to Buffy. "Where did you met?"

"Behind the Bronze, she swept me off my feet." he said with a small chuckle, Fred smiled getting a romantic look in her eyes.

"Awww."

"Yep, knocked me on my ass." he said and Fred gave him a dirty look. "I was following her to give her some information and she could feel me and she turned into an alley and was up on a pipe when I came around the corner. When I came underneath her, she dropped down, kicking me to the ground. I gave her a "cryptic" warning, a silver cross, and turned around and left."

"What exactly are we looking for?" Gunn asked.

"Anything that looks like remotely what she described from her dream."

"Is she always right?"

"Yes." Angel told them, pain radiating from his body, his mind flashing to her sevententh birthday. Lorne studied him and for once he didn't need Angel to sing in order to read him.

"She thinks it's her fault, even after all these years." Lorne muttered and Angel looked at him sharply. Then he caught a scent, Cordy! And then Angel thought about it, it could be her evil chain and mentally began for the verbal he was going to get when he knocked her unconcious and tied her up.

"This way guys." he led them down an alley and into a warehouse, where there was a Ms. Cordelia Chase, chained and gagged to a chair. Angel began to walk into the room, when he felt them. "You can come out." he said and fifteen vampires dropped around them.

Lorne stepped away quickly, but pulled out a stake, while Gunn, Fred, and Angel began to fight in earnest. Soon, the dust settled and they were the victors. Angel stalked to "Cordy" and looked at her apologetically before knocking her out.. Again.

"Why did you do that?" Gunn asked.

"Just in case she is the demon." he replied, before picking her up and they made their way back to Buffy's house.

Xander, Anya, Willow, and Tara: Docks

"So, why are we at the docks again?" Anya asked again, "I could be at home with Xander, giving him allot of.."

"Orgasms," Willow, Tara, and Anya said together. Anya glared at them when they broke out into a fit of laughter.

"Hey!" Tara said, "I think this is it." they looked at the building and made there way to it.

"Tara, Willow, can you do witchy magic to see if she's in there?" Xander asked, Willow and Tara rolled their eyes, but clasped hands and muttered a few words and the wall became non-existent. "I'll take that as a yes." he said, looking inside of the warehouse. "Ohh, our boy is uglier than Buffy described, and look there's Cordy!" The witches dropped the spell and they began to make a plan.

Willow and Tara stumbled into the warehouse, pretending to be drunk.

"Look at the guy in the costume," Willow said, staggering towards him, "Wonder how big he is." she muttered and prayed to the Goddess that Tara wouldn't blush.

"I've had a guy around his size and he wasn't that well endowed." Tara replied and was mentally blushing like there was no tomorrow. The demon looked at them in confusion trying to figure out what was going on.

"Be gone mortals," he commanded, deeming them not a threat. When Willow and Tara where close enough they clasped hands and looked at him.

"How about no?" Willow said and her and Tara soon had him thrown into a portal to Hell. "One way ticket." she muttered as they closed the portal. She looked over to where Anya and Xander where helping Cordy to her feet.

"We've gotta get to Angel. There's an evil me." she stuttered.

"I always said that." Xander replied and was hit by Cordy. They moved back towards the Buffy's house and met Angel and his crew at the door.

"You got a Cordy too?" Angel quesitoned.

"What one wasn't enough?" Xander asked, looking at the sky, "You have to torment me with two?" Cordy hit him again, "I vote that's the real Cordy, cause she keeps hitting me."
