Cordelia's New Obsession 7?

Disclaimers in part 1

Cordelia made it back home in time to see the trio leave the house. The trio consisted of Lindsey, Drusilla, and Buffy. She let out a Cheshire type smile at the sight of the blonde. It was something about her that made the vampire feel all sorts of things. Drusilla noticed the other vampire approach and gave her a slight nod.

"Group outing?" She asked casually.

Lindsey took the liberty of answering for the group, "Yeah, we are meeting up with some friends of ours for a day at Six Flags Magic Mountain." He gave her a smile.

She looked over at Buffy and gave her a smile. "Sounds like a good time. Is it like a couple thing?" It wasn't that she was jealous, but she had to make sure that Angel was no where around.

"Yeah, it is, but I am without a significant other. Angel said he had family plans or something like that. Which is totally understandable, I'll just see him at school tomorrow." A part of her was monumentally pissed, but she didn't let it show.

An idea popped into Drusilla's head, something that would help her sire further along.

"Why don't you come with us?" I mean you can keep ou- I mean Buffy company." She hoped that no one noticed her slip up. Luckily for her they didn't except for Cordelia.

"What do you say Buffy? I mean it will give her a chance to meet the rest of the gang." Lindsey piped up.

Buffy could feel Cordelia staring at her intently. "Sure why not? I mean I'll be the only one without a honey." She got in the car.

The vampiress, walked into the house to grab a few things. She called out for Darla.

"Darla, come in here now." She yelled for the blonde vamp.

She came in wearing a red and green plaid skirt, white shirt with a cardigan, white knee high socks, and a pair of loafers. She looked every way like a school girl, it was turning her on, but she was imagining Buffy in it instead of the blonde vampire.

"You called mistress." She said softly.

"I want you to go get young Angel and bring him back here. I would like for you to seduce him, and I will make sure Buffy sees. We should be back before sunset, because of school tomorrow."

"Yes mistress." Nothing else was said. She grabbed her purse and some other acessories and walked out of the house. All the while a smile playing on her face.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get going. I know Willow is probably flipping a lid right now." Buffy said as Lindsey drove off.

"Who are you tellin' darlin', she counts tardiness as like the eighth sin?"

This earned a genuine smile from Buffy. The ride to the amusement park was made with polite conversation. It wigged Buffy out that Cordelia was so interested in her life. She just chalked it up to curiosity. Lindsey pulled the car into the parking lot and everyone exited. Drusilla grabbed onto Lindsey's arm as they walked ahead of the other two females. They exchanged mutual glances, and linked arms also. This motion thrilled the vampiress to the bone. The small group was met by the others.

"It took you long enough. I thought we were going to have to put out an APB." Xander joked.

"We're here now, so you can scratch that." Buffy smiled.

Willow was the first one to notice the other brunette and how she was attached to Buffy.

"I would like to introduce you to Drusilla's cousin Cordelia; she will be attending Hemery with us." Buffy introduced the rest of the group.

"It's nice to meet you Cordelia, I'm Willow. The other brunette over there is Faith, I'm sure you already know her. Standing next to her is her on again off again boyfriend Xander Harris. This guy right here is my guy, Daniel Osborne, but we call him Oz" She introduced everyone. Oz regarded her wearily; he was getting a vibe off of her, but couldn't place it.

Everybody paid for their tickets and entered the park with no problems. First thing they wanted to do was ride roller coasters. Buffy decided to sit the Goliath out it was too much ride for her. Cordelia stayed behind with the blonde beauty.

"Are you afraid of a big bad roller coaster?" She sat next to the girl.

"No, I just don't care for that particular ride. I got sic several times over, roller coasters and Buffy are un-mixy things."

"What do you think tomorrow will be like? I mean this is your school after all." She wanted to keep the conversation going.

Buffy let out a grin, "Just hang with me and mine and everything will be fine. With your good looks you will have guys hanging all over you." Buffy was mortified by what she said. 'Where the hell did that come from?', she thought.

Cordelia ginned inwardly, the girl was noticing her.

"I understand what you're saying. If it's any consolation I think you are quite the hottie." She smiled.

Elsewhere

Joyce pulled up in the driveway and noticed Hank's car still in the drive way. That struck her as strange it was after three and he was supposed to be gone. She put the car in park and got out. The first thing she noticed was the door was wide open a sense of panic rose in her. Walking into the house she saw some of Hank's bags near the door. She called out to him, but there was no answer. She ran back outside and noticed the keys still in the ignition. Running back in the house she called the police and then Jenny and Giles.

The police arrived moments later asking her a million and one questions.

"So you pulled up and the door was wide open, and your husbands car seemed abandoned." Officer Abrams asked the older woman.

"That is correct. We were over to my sister's house, and we had a huge argument over our daughter. She left with her cousin and some friends. I went to the gallery to take care of some business." She tried not to cry.

"Joy we got here as soon as we could. What happened?" Jenny asked her now distraught sister.

"We were in the middle of questioning, could you hold off on anything else?" The officer asked.

Jenny got up and moved away and went in search of her husband.

"Were you and your husband having marital problems?"

"Yeah, we filed for a divorce a few weeks ago. It was agreed upon that out daughter go with him, but he changed his mind."

Officer Abrams was writing notes in his pad. Joyce was just staring out of the window.

Her mind immediately went to Buffy. How was she going to tell her only daughter that her father is missing? She tried not to think that maybe the young girl was behind this. It infuriated her to think that Buffy would do something this horrible.

The officer finished questioning Jenny and Giles and they rushed to Joyce's side.

"Where is Buffy?" Joyce asked

"She and Lindsey are out with Willow, Faith and the others. They won't be back until sunset." Giles answered for his wife.

One of the CSI members came and got the detective, Officer Abrams, and a few other people. The trunk was opened to reveal Hank stuffed in the trunk.

"We believe that he was suffocated and then stuffed in the trunk. The weird thing about it is he has two little puncture wounds in his neck. They don't look human either."

Detective Ashton looked thoughtful; "You think it might be a vamp attack? I mean they are running rampant." He whispered.

"I don't know, but we need to get Mrs. Summers out here so she can make a positive identity."

Detective Ashton walked into the house and brought out the distraught wife. Joyce wasn't prepared for what she saw and when the body came into view she fainted. Jenny came over and gasped in shock. "That's my brother-in-law. What happened?" She tried to keep her emotions in check. Buffy was going to be extrememly pissed.

"Apparently he was attacked and stuffed in the trunk. He might have been strangled."

Giles had made it over to the group and gasped at what he saw. He wrapped Jenny in his arms as she cried. Right now wasn't about her it was about Joyce and Buffy. "Oh god we need to get to Buffy." She cried out.

"We'll worry about Buffy in a little bit. Let her have her fun, and we will call her in a few hours. Let's go tend to Joyce." He soothed his wife and walked her into the house.

Joyce came to a little while later, "Please tell me that this is all a dream. Hank can't be dead, he was a lousy husband, but he was a loving father. Who would've done this?" She sobbed out.

Six Flags

Buffy and everyone else was enjoying themselves. They rode almost every ride except for a few roller coasters. Xander had actually gotten sick from eating so much junk. Cordelia won Buffy a stuffed teddy bear, which she held proudly.

Cordelia was satisfied with the way the day was going. It was actually kind of fun, but what made it best was being with Buffy. She had to excuse herself to make a call.

"Darla is everything in place?" She asked eagerly.

"Yep, he is here and we're having some fun. I can't wait to see the expression on the little wicca's face."

"Don't worry you will, and it will be priceless. We should be there in about an hour, keep him busy." She ground out.

"Not to worry, I got him." She hung up the phone.

She made her way back to the group and sat down next to Buffy. The blonde smiled at her affectionately.

"Did everything get taken care of?" She asked.

"Yes, so what's next?" Not wanting the day to end.

"Well, everyone else has pretty much made up their own plans. So we are going to go ahead and go home." Lindsey answered.

Dru and Cordelia shared a secret smile. They walked out of the park and to each other's perspective cars.

"We'll meet up in the morning at the usual." Faith called out.

"No, problem. Bye guys." Everyone said their good byes and got into the cars.

"Thanks for inviting me, I had a good time." Cordelia said to both Buffy and Lindsey.

Lindsey looked at her, "No problem, you're a nice person and Buffy seems to like you. So you are okay in our book." He gave her a smile.

The ride back to the vampires' house was made in silence. Buffy was lightly dosing with her head on Cordelia's shoulder. This act caused a flood of emotions to run through her. She looked so peaceful sleeping, not a problem in the world.

The wicca finally awoke when the car stopped. "We're here." Lindsey said to everyone in the car.

Buffy stretched, "I must have been tired." She gave a sheepish smile.

"It's okay; I'm kind of tired too." Drusilla feigned tiredness.

Everyone got out of the car and made their way inside of the enormous house. Buffy was surprised to see all of the art amongst a blood red room with black leather furniture. She was mesmerized by the size. They walked into the sitting room and what Buffy and Lindsey saw sent the little blond reeling. On one of the couches was Angel and some blonde bitch. From what it looked like, they were getting pelvic.

Cordelia and Drusilla stayed back to watch the fireworks explode. Lindsey had to get a grip on the girl she was in kill mode.

"Angel, what the fuck do you think you're doing! I knew you were cheating on me, I just didn't have proof. Now I do!" She said in a rather calm voice.

Darla got off of Angel and set her skirt to rights. She coward under Buffy's glare the power coming off of her sent her running. If looks could kill Angel would be dead.

"Buffy baby, it's not what it looks like. I have needs that you weren't fulfilling. I got tired of playing the waiting game." He told her honestly.

"So, the whole calling it to a halt was a fucking act. I trusted you Angel, I loved you, been nothing but faithful. I find you hear with some bitch!" She was getting angry now.

Cordelia was watching in complete glee, but what she was feeling from the blonde was nothing to laugh about.

"Buffy why don't you calm down. Don't get yourself worked up; he is just like any other hormonal challenged boy." Drusilla tried to get a hold of the situation.

"I don't give a care anymore. Angel consider us over, don't come near me, don't talk to me, forget you even know my name."

He got scared when he saw a purple light form around the girl. It was nothing he had ever seen before. "Let's see how well you function without a dick!"

Everyone took a collective step back. The purple light was getting darker, Cordelia was giddy with delight. Not only did she get Angel out of the picture, but she was about to see a real test of Buffy's power.

"Buffy don't do this." Lindsey tried to plead with her.

"No, he hurt me and now he is going to know what it feels like to be hurt." She said in a deadly voice.

Angel tried to get up and bolt, "Subsisto!" She called out. Angel stopped in mid walk.

Everyone gasped at the sight, even Lindsey. "Buffy please, don't do this. It is not going to help anything. This is not the way, he will get his Buffy. He is not worth losing yourself over. Please." He pleaded with her.

Cordelia just watched to see what else was going to happen. Buffy stopped glowing and returned to normal. Angel was still frozen. "Libero." She moved her hand to release him.

Her girl had power and she liked it. In a way it rivaled her own, oh yes Buffy was definitely going to be real handy.

"What the hell was that? Buffy I'm sorry, it will never happen again."

Lindsey knocked him out, "Damn right it won't! Stay the fuck away from her or next time I won't stop her form killing you."

Angel came too and ran out of the house. Lindsey turned around to face his cousin. "I should have listened to you. You tried to tell me, but I didn't listen." She sobbed out.

The two vampires were basking in their victory. It wouldn't be long now before he wound up dead.

Buffy looked around at her audience. "I'm sorry; I don't know what came over me. I know you guys are probably wondering who I am. I will explain later. Cordelia I will see you in school tomorrow." She turned and walked away.

"Oh and tell that little blonde bitch that I better not see her. She'll be dust and I'm not kidding."

Lindsey placed a kiss on Drusilla's cheek. "I'll call you later my dark princess."

He followed behind Buffy leaving two very pleased vampires behind.

"That was priceless, did you see our girl. She was wonderful." Drusilla shouted with glee.

"Yes, it was. But what's even priceless is when she finds out that her father had been killed."

"You didn't?" Drusilla asked in mock concern

"I did. We should have her right where we want her." She grinned and walked up the stairs.

Buffy and Lindsey made the ride home in complete silence. He was pissed at Angel for the treatment of his cousin. He knew he was bad news, he just wished she would've seen it earlier. They pulled up into the driveway and noticed another car in the driveway.

"I wonder what mom is doing here." Buffy asked out loud.

He stopped the car, "Whatever it is, it isn't good."

They exited the car and went inside. The two teens were made their way into the house.

"What's with the tragedy? Did somebody die?" Lindsey joked.

When no one else cracked a smile, he knew something was wrong. Buffy could feel the dread building up in her.

"Buffy we need to talk. It's about your father." Joyce told her only daughter.
