Eternity

Chapter 5

Fighting The Good Fight

Cordy felt alone as much as she was loving being with the Halliwells and they had become very good friends it was not the same. Her heart ached every time she thought of Angel Investigations. She sat on the step in front of the house watching the world go by.

Leo came out and sat beside her. "I know this is hard for you but it will get better."

"Leo you don't understand when you died you were a soldier and died on the battlefield but you found Piper after that you found your family. But I…" Cordy was not sure how to explain this. "I want to help people that is why the visions were given to me but I can't, I won't sit back and do nothing not while there is something I can do to help the elders don't understand that and it is something that I cannot not get past. It is who I am. I am stuck in limber here I can't go forwards and I can't go back."

Leo looked at this young woman who had lived through so many horrors more than anyone should. It made the charmed ones look like they had a charmed life.

Cordy stood up and walked into the house followed quickly by Leo. She turned to him and her eyes were white, and slowly her body began to float.

"Piper, Paige, Phoebe." Leo shouted.

They all came running as they could hear the panic in his voice. But they all stopped suddenly as Cordy came into view a foot or so above the ground.

"What's going on" Phoebe asked her eyes wide in astonishment.

Leo shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not sure but I am guessing that this is a vision from the Powers That Be."

"We'll just have to wait to see what it's about then." Paige said and everyone turned and looked at her. "Sorry stating the obvious huh."

The sisters and Leo sat down and waited for the vision to end. Slowly Cordy landed on the ground and her eyes turned to their normal brown. She looked at them and smiled.

"So now you know want a vision looks like." Cordy said with a quick grin but it sound faded as the images from her vision came back to her. "We have to go to LA." She looked down sadness was evident in her eyes. "You have to go to LA to warn Angel."

"Warn him about what?" Leo asked.

"There is a demon coming, a nasty one. He's going to appear in LA and start killing witches." She turned to Leo. "You'd better go and tell the elders so they can warn any whitelighters that have witches in the area." Leo nodded and orbed away.

Phoebe put her arms around Cordy' shoulders. "This must be so hard for you getting a vision for him but not being able to do anything about it."

"It's probably for the best." Cordy answered sadly.

"Now we both know that you don't mean that." Phoebe answered with a quick grin.

"I can't keep dreaming and wishing that we could be together it's not going to happen. I'm going to have to move on with my life uhh death and he has to move on."

Phoebe watched Cordy's face and saw something within her die when she now realised that she could not go to Angel and help him in his times of need. The witch glanced up and cursed the Powers That Be and the elders. They all seemed to get a cosmic laugh out of ruining people's lives.

Cordy turned and went into the room she was sharing with Phoebe and sat on the bed and the tears fell. She felt numb and alone a piece of her soul and her heart died knowing that she was never going to see him smile, watch his eyes sparkle, even seeing him vamp out. Then of course she was going to miss the guys her family, she had found a home in LA with people who loved her and whom she loved. It had been the first time in her life she had ever felt like that and now it was taken away from her. She wished that she had truly died or her memory was wiped, ok she did not want her memories gone they were all she had left, she could remember everything closing her eyes she could bring up so many memories and then watch them like movies in her head. She hoped that the guys were ok and she wanted Angel to move on, to find someone to love, it ate her up inside just thinking about it, but Angel had so much love to give and he was, as she told him once, had one of the greatest souls she had ever known.

Downstairs Phoebe was pacing.

"The elders suck" Paige moaned. "The PTB don't sound much better they have taken a woman, a woman whose had a difficult life, from the vampire she loves and from Cordy has said loved her back and they keep sending her visions. That is wrong, just wrong."

Leo nodded. "I agree and I'm going to find out what is going on." With that he orbed away.

"I hope he finds something out." Piper said she hated to see Cordy like this she knew what it was like when Leo and her had problems with the people above but Angel thinks that Cordy is dead they can't even see each other which was cruel, very cruel.

Hours passed Cordy had still not come down from the room and the sisters could not blame her and their had been no word from Leo. Phoebe started to pace backwards and forwards annoying her sisters.

"Would you please stop doing that" Paige whined rubbing her temples.

Little balls of light appeared in front of them, the other two Halliwells stood up quickly all of their faces full of curiosity and hope even thought the elders had disappointed them on numerous occasions.

Leo was now standing in front of them. "Something big is coming and we have to go to LA to help."

Just then Cordy ran down the stairs quickly.

"I'm going kick their asses." She mumbled as her foot hit the last step heavily and nearly fell forward. Leo rushed forward and managed to catch her before she hit the ground Cordy looked at him, their had been only one other person that would catch her before she hurt herself.

"What's going on?" Piper asked.

"Vision, the PTB want me to go and help Angel, Hello, can was say change your mind much." Cordy said.

"But what about after?" Piper asked.

"Don't care I am not leaving him again, I've done it like 3 times and came back twice even though one of them was like for a day but I can't do it to him, to us, to them. I can't they truly will have to kill me to take me away again." Cordy looked up at the ceiling and shouted. "Do you hear that?" She never expected an answer but she told them what she was planning to do and if they wanted to stop her they would have to do it now.

"How do we explain this?" Paige asked.

"Oh god Angel and the others what are they going to say when they see me again? I've hurt them so many times. What if he has moved on? What if she lives with them? What if they have forgotten about me?" Cordy started to panic.

"Calm down Cordy, breath, how about Leo and I go first and try to explain things to them and take it from their." Piper said.

Cordy nodded trying to take deep breaths Paige and Phoebe were rubbing her shoulders.
