I looked over Buffy's head over at Cordelia. There was a hint of jealousy in her eyes. It was unfair to Cordelia that I hadn't told Buffy and the others about us. I took my arms from Buffy and walked over to where Cordy was standing. Ever since Xander's death, she hasn't been the same. I hear her crying at night when she thinks I'm asleep. When I reached her I put my arms around her.
"Um, you guys I want to tell you something," I spoke up.
Everyone stopped to look at me, surprised that I wanted to say something amidst this crisis.
"I just want to tell everyone that Cordelia and I are," I paused to take a breath. "Cordelia and I are in love."
Ahh! My stomach lurched. Even though I love Spike, I couldn't help but feel some jealousy about Angel and Cordelia.
I knew they were together. Last time I went to LA to deliver the ring I saw them getting closer. I miss the days when I used to help the gang. I looked over at Willow and Tara they were stunned with sadness. I decided to walk over and comfort them.
A gust of wind surfaced again and Angel was pulled from Cordelia's grip.
"Angel!" Cordelia reached for him but missed. Buffy ran toward Angel and jumped onto him shouting "No, not Angel!" But the wind was too strong and it sucked Angel out of Buffy's arms. Cordelia fell to the floor, hysterical. Wesley and Gunn ran over to comfort her.
"Why would someone do something like this? Why!" Cordelia yelled through her tears.
"I don't know," Buffy said. "But I'll find out who did it."
The wind tunnel dumped me into a cave. It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the darkness. An eerie feeling came over me. It was as if something inside of me told me that something bad was going to happen. Drusilla walked out of the darkness.
"Yeah!" She giggled with delight. "Daddy has come home to his precious daughter. You sent Grandmommy away, but I'll get revenge for her." Her eyes looked to the stairs and then back down at me again. "Spiky didn't do what I told him to do so I had to send him away. You'll do better won't you daddy?"
"What sick game are you playing Drusilla?" I could hardly speak because of my anger.
"It's a wonderful game, daddy," Drusilla cooed. "It's called what will hurt the slayer more."
I lunged at Drusilla, but a force field was protecting her. "What are you going to do with me?" I said through clenched teeth.
"Oh it's a very special plan. Spiky didn't want to be a part of it, so he had to go away, but you, daddy, aren't as stupid as he was. You'll do what I say."
I looked at Drusilla. Why did she come back, and why did she blame me for Darla's death? I decided to humor her. "What exactly do you have in mind?"
Drusilla's eyes gleamed. I want you to say you'll stay with me forever and…" She paused. Ever so slowly she began to smile. "I want to you help me kill the slayer!"
My mind began to race. Kill Buffy! So this was her master plan. Wait a minute, I have a brilliant plan. It will keep Buffy alive and get me out of here too.
"Okay Drusilla. I'll do it," I said in my well-practiced Angelus tone. "All you need to do is get Buffy here, and I'll do you one better, I'll kill her friends too."
Drusilla squealed with delight. "Oh daddy knows what his little girl wants! You promise to stay with me forever?"
"On the slayer's grave."
"Move faster you guys." Conner was wailing in Cordelia's arms. She was in complete panic mode.
"We're getting there Cordelia." I wasn't sure about what I just said. Spike was dead, Angel was gone, and I just wish the wind would come back.
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot from all the reading we were doing. But I knew Buffy's eyes were red from crying. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost Willow.
"Yes!" Oz exclaimed from the back of the room.
"What!" We all yelled in unison.
Oz began reading from the book. "The vengeance demon Halfrek is able to cast a spell to bring past lovers to the women they scorned through a wind tunnel."
"Who did both Angel and Spike scorn?" I asked, unfamiliar with the history of the Scooby Gang's resident vampires.
There was an awkward silence that filled the room. Then Buffy spoke up, and her voice was filled with anger.
"Drusilla."
I had to fight back tears of anger. Why did Drusilla have to ruin my life? First Spike, now Angel.
"That's it. Pack some weapons get your stuff. We're going to find Drusilla and kill her."
"Buffy are you sure? We don't even know where to start." Willow looked tired and scared.
"Willow, you don't have to go, but…"
A gust of wind appeared again. Angel dropped out and began to attack Buffy. They fought while Cordelia was screaming at Angel to stop. Everyone was in a mad frenzy.
Suddenly, Drusilla stepped out of the wind. She walked slowly toward Angel and Buffy. Everyone stood in shock as she kissed Angel's lips and handed him a knife.
"You know what to do." He grabbed the knife and turned toward Buffy.
