Cordelia's New Obsession 16?
Disclaimers are obviously in part 1. You should know by now that I am not Joss, if I was let's just say Cordelia and Buffy would have been together Damn it!
General Mac- Sorry sweetie, but that's how it is. Cordelia is evil; I have a few surprises in store for Faith. So she is going to be around for a little while longer.
Harry2-Let's just say someone is going to come to the rescue. Things are about to get pretty interesting.
Buffy was in the counselor's office listening to Anya, until the phone rang. "Excuse me while I answer this annoying thing." She rolled her eyes. Buffy just smiled, something about her freaked her out. She kept talking about wishes and what not, it was very odd. Anya hung up the phone and looked at Buffy, "You are needed in the library." She said a little pissed off.
Buffy sent a prayer of thanks to whoever was listening. She grabbed her books and walked out without a second thought.
"Damn!" Anya shouted out.
Buffy made her way to the library in no time. There was ten minutes left until first period was over. She walked through the double doors and was met with Mrs. Post.
"Buffy we have to talk." She ushered the girl in and she spotted Faith sitting at the table.
She looked a little confused, "What's going on? Oh my god did someone else die!" She tried to keep herself in hysterics.
"No one didn't die, but there is a demon in this school. You had an up close encounter with her." Mrs. Post told the blonde.
Buffy sat down at the table books and all. "So who is the demon? And what does she want with me?"
Faith slid a book over to Buffy and she looked at the picture. "That's the counselor Anya, she just appeared around the time Angel cheated on me." She confessed.
"Faith came to me today and said she had a bad feeling about her. She described everything to me and I decided to look her up. Did she by chance happen to talk to you about a wish?" Mrs. Post asked.
"Yeah she did once or twice she did it again today. I didn't say anything though, wishing brings bad news." She shrugged.
"Well Twinkie, I hate to break it to you, but Anya is Anyanka a vengeance demon, 'The Patron Saint of Scorned Women'." Faith told her.
Buffy eyes went wide, "She's here because of me? What are we going to do? How do we kill her?" She asked.
"That's where you come in sweetie, you need to vanquish her. Send her back to Arashmaharr. If she is here there is no telling who else is here and honey that equal's bad news for you." The watcher told her in all seriousness.
Buffy's heart was pounding and she felt like she was going to have a panic attack.
"Calm down, its okay." Faith tried to comfort her.
In English class Cordelia tried to concentrate, but she couldn't. Buffy was in trouble, she needed to get to her. Mr. Malloy was falling asleep behind the desk so she gathered up her books and walked out. She really didn't need to be here anyway.
The first stop she made was the counselor's office; luckily there was no one else there. She walked in and closed the door surprising Anya.
"Cordelia, what do I owe this visit?" She said snidely.
"What the hell did you do to Buffy? Something is wrong with her, and it's not good. Where the hell is she?" She gritted out.
Anya was truly scared now, Cordelia was well respected and here she was disobeying her.
"I didn't do anything to her. I got a call for her to go to the library. I didn't do anything honest. I wanted her to make a stupid wish." She yelled out.
Cordelia opened the door and stomped out towards the library. She brushed passed the students who were in the hallway. They parted for her like the red sea; she came upon Willow at her locker and went into vamp face, scaring the red head. She broke out with the screaming and the hollering. Teacher's came over to try and calm her.
"I saw a vampire!" She screamed out.
Cordelia stood there looking sweet as honey. "Do you know what she's talking about?" The teacher asked her.
"I don't know. I just wanted to ask her something and she freaked out." She said innocently.
"No, she's a vampire she's evil." She promptly passed out.
The teacher's picked her up and took her to the nurse's office. Student's looked sadly at the red head. She was always the smart one.
Cordelia walked into the library and saw Buffy breathing and sweating profusely. Mrs. Post was giving her a glass of water.
"Is Buffy okay?" The vampire asked in genuine concern. Buffy looked at her and started calm down a little.
"She's fine, she found out about the counselor and it sent her into hysterics. What was with the commotion out in the hallway?" Mrs. Post asked.
Cordelia walked over to Buffy and knelt down in front of her. Something she never had to do in her life. She put a comforting hand on Buffy and the blonde calmed down relatively. Mrs. Post and Faith looked in amazement at the way Buffy reacted to her touch.
"As for the hallway, Willow started screaming about seeing a vampire and passed out. I'm worried about her." She answered while still looking at Buffy. 'Nothing is going to hurt you. I am by your side forever, Buffy.'
Buffy looked at Faith and her watcher, "Willow said she has been seeing things and hearing things that aren't there. She was pretty shaken up about it." Buffy shrugged her shoulders.
"Buffy you are going to have to come up with a vanquishing potion or spell, before more danger comes your way." Faith told her.
Mrs. Post gave her a death glare. "It's okay Cordelia knows that Buffy is a bad ass Wicca, as does Willow and Xander." She smiled.
"Does your aunt and Uncle know about people knowing?" She asked condescendingly.
"Yes, they do. Today I have a Wicca meeting with Tara after school we can work on something then." Buffy stood up to only fall down again alarming the three women.
Faith jumped to her side and tried to bring her too. Cordelia knew immediately what was wrong, Buffy needed her blood. She could feel Buffy and knew her hunger, the blonde girl hadn't recognized it yet. Cordelia knew that they needed to be alone.
"Why don't we move her to your office? Faith you go get her the nurse, and Mrs. Post get her a cold rag." Cordelia ordered out.
"What about you?" Faith asked. "I'll be here in case Buffy comes to." She answered.
Both of them looked at her in skepticism. "Trust me; it happens to Dru from time to time." She lied.
They left leaving Cordelia and Buffy alone. "It's okay Buffy, I have you. I know what you need and I have it. You shouldn't have gone too long without this." She said softly. The vampire cut a tiny cut on her wrist. "Drink Buffy, you need too."
Cordelia put the wrist up to her mouth and Buffy latched on. "That's right my sweet girl, take your fill." Buffy sucked eagerly until Cordelia moved her wrist. Buffy let out a little whimper. The vampire looked around and made sure no one was coming and licked the side of Buffy's neck and sunk her fangs in. She took a few sips of her blood and licked the wounds closed. Her demon wanted to claim her right then and there, mark her for everyone to see, but it would be too risky. She heard footsteps approaching and with preternatural speed she sat on the couch with Buffy's head in her lap.
Mrs. Post walked in and to this display and smiled, it was obvious this girl truly cared about Buffy. Faith came in with the nurse and stopped, Cordelia was tending to the girl carefully and Buffy came too.
"What happened?" She asked a little disoriented.
"You passed out, for what reason we don't know." Faith answered.
"Are you sure you're alright honey?" The nurse asked.
Buffy looked at everyone and then back at the nurse, "I'm fine probably just low blood sugar. I didn't eat all my breakfast this morning, but surprisingly I'm full." She smiled.
The nurse walked out of the office and the library. Something weird was going on and it involved those four people in the library.
No one said a word, until Xander came into the library looking for Faith. Cordelia rolled her eyes at the goofy boy.
"Faith I have been looking all over for you, you better haul boogie to P.E. or Coach Ashton is going to be pissed." He told his girlfriend.
"I will be there in a minute. Buffy go check on Willow and make sure she is okay, Cordelia you head on back to class you too Xander." Mrs. Post told the children.
The trio walked out leaving a very perplexed watcher behind. Something about Buffy and Cordelia's relationship intrigued her. If she was right in her assumptions the witch was falling for the other girl.
Buffy made her way to the nurses office to check on Willow. She noticed that she wasn't in there.
"Excuse me, where is Willow Rosenberg?" She questioned the nurse.
"Her mother came and took her home. The poor girl was completely out of it, she was mumbling something about vampires, and witches. The poor girl was delusional."
Buffy gave her a smile and walked out of the office. It was lunch time, and everyone congregated at their usual table outside.
"Hey Buff, you're not eating?" Xander asked.
She looked at the food and almost wretched. "No thanks, I'm not hungry for whatever that is."
Faith and Cordelia made their way over to the table. They were talking about this and that, Faith noticed the dark sunglasses that Buffy was wearing.
"Buffy are you trying out for the blues brothers?" She joked and sat down at the table.
"No, it's just bright out here, the sun hurts my eyes." Buffy mumbled.
Cordelia sat down next to her and nudged her in the side causing Buffy to smile. Oz walked over the group and sat down.
"Willow's not here?" He asked.
"Didn't you hear, Willow started hollering about vampires and passed out. Her mom came and got her.?" Xander explained.
At that moment Cordelia's phone started ringing. "Excuse me, I have to take this." She got up from the table.
Buffy watched her go longingly. "I think someone is in looove." Xander teased.
"I am not in love, I just like her." She lied.
Faith could see through that facade and decided to have a little fun. "Really now, how come you two were sharing loving looks in the library. Face it B the sexual tension between the two of you is obvious."
"Guys, my boyfriend was killed a couple of days ago, we haven't even buried him yet. It's too soon, besides how do you know she feels the same?" Buffy asked.
Faith and Xander exchange looks and looked back at Buffy.
"Oh, please! Everyone could see from the beginning that she was attracted to you. But all you could see was Angel. I'm just saying now that he's gone, may he rest in peace. You can get the girl." Xander surmised.
Cordelia was on the phone talking to Drusilla getting the latest news from her.
"She's at home in the bed drugged." Cordelia smiled.
"Apparently her mom is a psychologist and can do that sort of thing." Drusilla's voice came over the line.
"Step it up a little more, make her completely crazy not to the point where she will off herself, but to the point where she will be locked up for a long time. When I bring Buffy over, she is going to be her first meal." She let out an evil laugh and hung up the phone.
"Sorry about that, I had to take it." Cordelia sat back down near Buffy and she blushed.
"About Anyanka what are we going to do? If she is after you Buffy, there could be more."
Buffy let out a sigh and took off her sunglasses, but put them back on. "I will vanquish her and send her back to Acashmire or where ever."
"Arashmaharr sweetie." The vampire corrected her and touched the blonde's hand.
Xander and Faith exchanged glances with Buffy as if to say 'Told You So'.
The rest of the day went relatively smoothly. There was no more drama or anything like that. Buffy was extremely happy. When school came to an end Buffy said good bye to her friends and waited for Tara to pick her up.
Buffy didn't have to wait long when she was greeted by a shy blonde.
"Y-You must be Buffy. I'm T-Tara." She stuttered out.
Buffy couldn't help but smile at the shy girl. She used to stutter when she was nervous about something.
"That would be me. My grandma has told me a lot about you, she said that you were powerful."
Tara blushed a little redder. "I wouldn't say powerful, but strong enough. But you I feel it coming off in waves."
Tara led them to her car and they drove off. Cordelia walked out to her car with a smile on her face. Buffy was getting stronger and stronger by the day. She needed to find a way to have Buffy solely dependent on her. She wanted Buffy to know what it feels like to long for Cordelia, the way she had longed for her. The Wicca's soul called out to her, and she wanted more to return the call, but it was too soon. Buffy needed to recognize it first before she could do anything about it. The vampire started up the car and drove home.
