Cordelia's New Obsession 26

General Mac- since you asked so nicely, this next chapter is for you.

slayerprincess25- sorry sweetie, but that's the way I work. I wasn't going to make it that easy.

fligurl- take your time there is no rush. Enjoy it at your own pace; it's always better that way.

Alyson Teague- its reviews like yours that make me extremely happy. I'm really not that great but thanks anyway. I actually find that I write B/C a lot better than I do Buffy with another person.

To everyone else who reviewed, you really made my day. It's you guys that I write for, not just for myself. On to the story...

Lindsey came face to face with his father, with no intent on backing down. He was killing his cousin and he wasn't going to stand for that. Buffy was his everything, and he was going to make sure that she survived this.

"What are you going to do Lindsey? You aren't of much use, always Buffy's white knight. Too bad you can't save her." Giles taunted his only son.

Lindsey knew that his father was right, but wasn't going to let that get him angry. Right now he was a distraction until everyone else was in position. He looked over at Buffy and saw that she was still unconscious, he prayed to whoever was listening that the witches could combine their powers.

Outside

The demons kept coming left and right, the witches were getting tired and so was Kennedy. They were about to give up until another being entered into the realm. Everyone stopped fighting to look who was entering their presence. Jenny actually fainted when she saw who it was.

"Hey, someone said it was a slayer party, how come I wasn't invited?" Faith asked the witches.

Amy's mouth opened in amazement, this was the slayer who died saving Buffy. "Faith what are you doing here?" She asked.

Faith just let out a smile, "Well, I was summoned here by the powers. I'm only here to fight temporarily. When this is all over you won't remember all of this. I'll help junior over there, you worry about Buffy. She has a very important role to play in the end of time. If anyone can save her it will be ya'll. Now go on work the mojo and save her life."

The brunette slayer went to help Kennedy without any qualms. The Wicca's revived Jenny, and began to chant again. The Charmed Ones even joined in, because she was one of them.

Inside

Lindsey and Giles were in a stand off, and Cordelia made her presence know. Giles looked over at her and threw a lightening bolt at her which she ducked.

"You think that's enough to stop me? Think again, you think you're big bad because you have magicks. Well let me see what kind of man you are without it." She taunted him.

Lindsey looked at her like she was crazy. "Don't test me boy, you don't know what I'm capable of." She gave him a wicked smile.

Taking offence to this Lindsey went into game face. Giles stopped in shock, he should have know something was off with his son.

"So you went and had Drusilla turn you. How pathetic is that? Couldn't cut it as a man, what makes you think you could cut it as a vampire?" He sneered.

Lindsey approached his father and hit him square in the face. That didn't do anything, but make him even angrier. Giles was so busy trying to defeat the two vampires that he didn't see Buffy coming to. Leo came in to help her along.

"Buffy, we need you now more than ever. The ritual is almost complete, demons are coming forth and it's not good. The slayer isn't holding up too good out there." He debated on telling her that Faith was out there, but decided against it.

"You can do this Buffy, you were born for this. Believe it or not this is your destiny; the world will be a better place because of you. Feel the magic and use it, to the best of your ability." He encouraged her.

"I don't know how." She said weakly.

"You do, just look inside yourself. Look at Lindsey and Cordelia."

Buffy glanced over at the two vampires and saw that they were looking a little worse for wear. A small sob tore threw her as she saw them get knocked around. She was Cordelia fall to the ground and her resolve snapped. Leo saw this spark in her and disappeared to let the other's know what was going on.

Using her new found magic she undid the manacles and fell down to the ground. Giles looked over and saw that Buffy was missing. The glowing was still happening, but not as strong.

"Come out come out wherever you are. I know you are around here witch." His voice sounded out through the abandoned building.

Buffy appeared behind him, "Uncle Giles you talk too much." She held out her hands and blasted him with a fire ball. He fell backwards towards the opening hellmouth.

"You called me a rank, arrogant amateur. Buckle up Rupert cause I turned pro." Buffy's eyes went an eerie white, and her hair turned white. Giles tried to get up, but Buffy made a motion with her hand

"Stay down." She told him in a voice unlike her own.

Giles looked at her as if in a daze, "Look who decided to become super witch. Although I would have like it if you were a super bitch like your friend Faith." He knew that would hit a spot with her. When Buffy didn't move or flinch he knew he had to try something else.

Giles got up and Buffy tried to get him to stay down.

"No." He got back up surprising Buffy.

The wicca jumped back a little and dodged his next bullet. He was getting pissed at this, plus he was losing his magic.

"Why do you want to save a world that doesn't care about you? Your friends are dying, your mother left and your father is dead. I bet you don't know who is responsible for that do you?" He asked her

Buffy was getting tired of this little charade and decided to end it, "You know what I don't care anymore. You are starting to become a pain in my ass!" She went towards him and started blasting him with fire balls, and everything else she could muster. Giles couldn't take anymore and his eyes went back to his original green color.

"Please Buffy, stop. Don't do this you will be no better than me." He told her.

Buffy wasn't letting up; she knew what she had to do. He wasn't an innocent, but a demon warlock who needed to be put down.

"Sorry Giles, but that doesn't work on me." She made a motion with her hands and sent him flying up against a wall, nearly knocking him on conscious.

Without a second thought Buffy began to chant:

Ashes to ashes,
Spirit to spirit.
Take his soul,
Banish this evil.

She chanted it over and over again until he suddenly disappeared. The Charmed Ones, Tara, Jenny, and Amy came running into the building to see what was happening. They looked on in surprise as Buffy began glowing white; she started floating in the air and then dropped back down. She was drained of all of her powers.

"Oh my goddess." The last thing Buffy said before she went limp.

Jenny was the first one over to her. She shook Buffy gently trying to revive her, when she didn't move the witch checked for a pulse. When she found one she let out a sigh of relief. Leo popped in and saw the young girl on the ground.

"Leo can you heal her?" Piper asked.

He looked up at them, "Yeah, I can, but I'm going to need some help. Paige if you could help me." He gestured to the red headed witch.

Paige knelt down beside the young blonde and put her hands over her body. Buffy began to glow, but it didn't help.

"She needs to rest, the joining of all of our powers were too much for her. I'll take her home and you work to close the hellmouth." Leo picked Buffy up bridegroom style and disappeared.

"Your Buffy is a strong warrior; she is going to be around for a long time." Phoebe told Jenny.

"I know, too bad the world will never know how much she had to sacrifice." Jenny replied.

"She's going to be alright, give her sometime." Piper added. "C-Come on we need to seal this hellmouth permanently." Tara said.

Cordelia met with the others outside, and approached Jenny. She embraced Lindsey in a hug.

"You should have seen Buffy you would've been so proud." She told her son.

"I know mom, where is she?" He asked.

"Leo took her home; tonight's adventure really took a lot out of her."

Piper walked up to the vampire and his mother, "You were supposed to become a white lighter, but something happened. You became a vampire."

Jenny and Amy gasped in shock. They didn't know that this had happened, they wondered if Buffy knew.

"Why did you do it?" Amy asked her grandson.

He looked at her sadly, "Because Buffy would live forever, and I wanted to be by her side. She is probably going to live forever and I want to be with her." He told his mother and grandmother silently.

Kennedy approached the small group, "We did good work tonight. I'm sorry that I didn't see your girl in action."

"Well, it was fantastic. Where's Faith? She was helping you." Jenny asked curiously.

"It was only me, Faith is dead, and she's been dead now for a while." Kennedy said without any emotion.

"As much as I would love to sit and talk we really need to be getting back to San Francisco." Paige spoke up.

"Yeah, we do. We have innocents to save, but we will pop in from time to time. I actually want to meet the Wicca that took down the evil incarnate." Phoebe spoke up.

"Thanks again for all of your help. Thank Leo for me also, without his help or yours we wouldn't be here right about now." Jenny thanked the three witches.

"Next time you're in San Fran come on by, Jenny it is always good seeing you." Piper told the brunette witch.

The three witches orbed out leaving Tara, Jenny, and Amy behind. Jenny looked over at the car and saw Lindsey, Drusilla, and Cordelia standing there. She knew what she had to do, as much as she didn't want to, it was the right thing.

The three vampires were holding a small conversation of their own when Jenny approached.

"Mom, what are you doing here?" He asked a little surprised.

"Actually I wanted to talk to Cordelia." She took the vampire by the hand and they disappeared. Lindsey and Drusilla exchanged a kiss and walked off to his car. Tara decided to drive Amy back to Los Angeles in her car.

Giles House

Jenny teleported the both of them into the Giles living room. Cordelia looked around and saw that it was in shambles. Buffy and Giles must have really had it out in here. Jenny disappeared upstairs to check on Buffy. The vampire sat down on the couch and waited for the witch to return. She wondered what they had to talk about. Jenny came back downstairs and sat across from the vampire.

"How is she?"

"She is resting, like she should be. I wanted to apologize for the way I treated you. Rupert had me completely messed up in the head when it came to you. I went along with everything he fed me. Come to find out, he was the one against Buffy the whole time. I wanted to say I was sorry for the way I treated you. I know now that you truly love my niece and I'm sure she feels the same way too. I won't stand in the way of your happiness, I don't quite understand it, and I probably never will. Just take care of her, now if you will excuse me I'm going to take a long bath and relax." Jenny got up and left the vampire downstairs.

Cordelia walked up the stairs to a room she was all too familiar with. She could here Buffy's heart beat and her steady breathing. Opening the door she walked in and closed it, not wanting to sit in a chair she climbed in the bed with Buffy.

"I love you my darling girl. Pretty soon you will put all this behind you and be my queen. There is no denying it now; you will be mine fully and completely." She whispered into the blonde girl's ear.

Later on that night Cordelia was awaken to Buffy's tossing and turning.

"Please don't do this to me Uncle Giles! You don't need to do this." The blonde was yelling in her sleep.

Cordelia shook Buffy awake and she shouted, "GILES NO!" The vampire embraced the girl in a hug rocking her back and forth. Jenny came running into the room at her niece's call.

"What happened?" She asked in a shaky voice.

"She was dreaming about Giles and I guess she was replaying the events of tonight."

Buffy quieted down a little and settled back into sleep. "Don't worry about it, I will take care of her, you go back to bed. You've had a real trying time." She gave her a saccharine sweet smile.

Jenny walked out of the room closing the door behind her. Cordelia lay back down next to the blonde. Soon Buffy wouldn't have to worry about anything anymore. She began idly stroking the young girl's stomach. It never went past that; she knew that is was a calming affect for Buffy.

Buffy woke up the next morning aware of two things, one there was someone holding her and two she was late for school. She decided to see who was holding her first, her eyes widened in surprise when she saw Cordelia lying there sleep. A slow smile crept across her face as she looked over at her sleeping counterpart. The battle from last night came back to her, and she tried not to cry. It was for the greater good, he deserved it, she kept telling herself over again.

The vampire knew when Buffy woke up; she just pretended to be sleep. All she wanted to do was relax in the girl's arms. When she made no effort to move Cordelia decided to wake up.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." The vampire greeted her.

"Good morning, how long was I asleep?" She asked.

"You were asleep for a good twelve hours. The fight last night really took a lot out of you. I was so scared when I thought I lost you." She told her honestly.

Buffy turned to face the vampire, "When I saw you fall down and not get up, it felt like my world just disappeared. I thought I lost you too, it hurt me a lot, it also gave me the ammunition I needed to defeat Giles. You're supposed to be this big, bad, masterful vampire, but you are in love with a Wicca." She teased.

"I am an all powerful vampire, who is in love with a Wicca. I have plans for you my pretty, and they don't involve your aunt. Did you get your dress?" She asked, trying to steer the conversation to something much safer.

Buffy got out of the bed and padded over to the closet. She opened it up and pulled out the dress bag and unzipped it. The dress came out of the bag, and the vampire let out a slight gasp. Just for effect of course, she was the one who put the dress there anyway.

"What do you think?" Buffy asked.

"I think you are going to knock them dead. What made you pick that particular dress?"

"I had a dream about this dress, and I wanted it. Besides it will look good with my tiara." She gave her a small smile.

Buffy put her dress back in the bag and in the closet. She climbed back into the bed and into Cordelia's arms. There was a soft knock on the door, and Buffy began to panic.

"Come in." She called out.

Jenny walked into the room and gave her neice a smile and then looked at Cordelia.

"You stayed last night?" She asked, with no trace of venom, or anything else in her voice.

"I just wanted to make sure that she was okay. The nightmares have been hard on her." She gave the elder wicca a smile.

Buffy looked at this in confusion, "Is there something I missed?" She asked.

"We just came to an understanding. You are not going to school today, I want you to rest. I will bring you up some breakfast." Jenny walked out of the room.

"I really am hungry, but not for food." She said out loud.

Cordelia looked at her, "What do you mean by that?" She asked out of curiosity.

"I don't want food, I want something else, but I don't know what it is."

The vampire kissed Buffy long and hard leaving her breathless. Without any trepidation Cordelia cut a line on her wrist and offered it to Buffy. At first she grimaced, but something was calling out to her.

"Is this what you want?" She asked her seductively.

"Uh huh." Buffy let out a small moan, and brought her mouth to the vampire's wrist.

Once she was finished feeding Cordelia pushed her back on the bed and began kissing her with passion personified. She couldn't help it; Buffy feeding from her turned her on. She nipped and kissed and suckled on the younger girl's neck, sending her into a serious frenzy.

"You need to keep it down, if you don't want your aunt to hear." She whispered in the blonde's ear. Better yet, we will continue this at another time; I really need to head home. Drusilla is probably going crazy with worry." She kissed her a final time, and got out of the bed.

Buffy didn't know what to say so she said the first thing that came to her mind, "Cordelia I know this is going to sound sluty, but I'm ready to take the next step with you." She blushed a little.

"You don't ever have to be embarrassed around me. I want that too Buffy, but I want to wait for the right time. I know you are ready now, but I really want you to be ready. Trust me it's going to be something that you would die for."

Cordelia kissed her on the lips and walked out of the room. This left Buffy a little more than confused.
