Cordelia's New Obsession Book 1 Chapter 2
I am so not going to go into the legal mumbo jumbo. We know I don't own them, and never will. They belong to Joss and everyone else involved.
Cordelia came back down stairs to see Willow holding her friends hand and openly crying. She was delighted beyond the telling of it, best friend crying over best friend. The red head looked up and saw the vampire approaching with a silver tray. She placed it on the table next to the bed and took the lid off to show her a plate filled with food. Willow regarded her with a cautious eye. The food was tempting, but she wanted to know why she has it.
"I brought you something to eat. I know you haven't eaten since yesterday, and you are probably starving. Besides, I don't want my girl to be turned off by your blood." She approached the red head and ran a finger down the side of her neck.
Willow shuttered involuntarily, Cordelia touching her made her feel dirty.
"I didn't do anything to the food, I just brought it down. Go ahead and eat, she should be waking soon and she will be hungry."
The redhead picked up her fork and took a nibble of her food. Finding that nothing was wrong with it, she began to eat some more. It was much better than the stuff they fed her at the institution. Cordelia watched the girl devour her food, she really was fond of the redhead, but she would just cause problems and she couldn't have that.
"I really liked you Willow, but you would have been a problem between my Buffy and me. Your mother is a high priestess and your father was the warlock Jax that tried to kill Buffy, but she killed him and he killed our beloved Faith."
"Why do you want Buffy? She never did anything to you, she was good, and you are dark. What is your obsession with her? She had her whole life ahead of her." Willow asked the vampire.
"Wow, you actually talk. I thought you were just mute because of the trauma you've been through." Cordelia taunted. "I have wanted Buffy for a long time, since she was ten. At first I wanted to kill her and be done with it, but once I got to know her it turned to something else. She's the light to my dark, you know what they say about opposites attract. I've been waiting all my life for her, and now she's here and she is mine." She told her with no emotion.
"I really had you underestimated, not only are you evil, you are uber evil, but little do you know, that if a Wicca is turned, especially on as powerful as Buffy will retain their souls." She smiled.
Cordelia was getting tired of her talking and wished she was out of it. She knew that Buffy would retain her soul, but that could be worked around. All she really wanted was someone to spend eternity with; also the power is an unexpected bonus.
"I know that, but it can be worked around. Now shut up before I gag you! I really don't want to have to do that." She dismissed the red head.
Willow looked over to the bed and saw a movement from her friend. Her eyes went big as saucers as she tried to get up. She knew that her life as she knew it was over. Cordelia walked over to the bed when she sensed this, she wanted Buffy to see her when she first opened her eyes.
Buffy woke up in a state of grogginess and hunger. She looked over and saw Cordelia looking at her and smiling.
"Welcome to the family Buffy, I know you must be hungry." The vampiress told the girl.
"Yeah, I am." She said softly trying to work her way around her fangs.
"Well, you don't have to worry anymore because I have something very special." She moved out of the way to reveal Willow sitting there trembling.
"Will? You want me to eat my best friend? I can't do that." She said defiantly.
Cordelia got pissed and back handed her hard. "You will do as I say, I am your sire and you will obey me! This will go smoothly if you listen to me, you're hungry well there's your meal. You can eat it or starve." She yelled at Buffy.
The Wicca-cum-vampire whimpered in pain and looked sympathetically at her friend.
"I understand Buffy, I'm not afraid." Willow told her long time friend.
"See Buffy, she understands take her, it will make you fell better." Her sire taunted her.
The demon side of Buffy came to the fore and she grabbed Willow roughly causing the girl to squeal. She sunk her fangs into the redhead's neck causing her to scream, Buffy drank her down until her heart stopped and she stopped moving. She laid her friends lifeless body on the bed. Tears were already falling for her eyes, and Cordelia made her way over to the blonde.
"It wasn't so bad now was it? It will get better with time; there is no need to cry at least she doesn't have to suffer anymore." She told her softly.
"I killed my best friend; I'm no better than Jax or anyone else who is evil. I am so of the bad." The vampire said tearfully.
Cordelia was getting tired of her self pitying. "Listen Buffy it's done okay move on! If you don't stop this right now, I will punish you like you've never been punished before. You are a childe of my line, and this soul having is going to have to be put away. Do you understand me?" She asked her in a deadly voice.
Buffy nodded her head, and Cordelia backhanded her again causing her to fall off the bed unto the floor. Buffy looked at her eyes flashing a deep black, she could feel the power flowing through her veins.
"When I ask you a question, you are to answer me! Do you understand me whore!" She yelled at her lover.
"Yes, sire." She said softly. Cordelia made her way over to the vampire and grabbed her roughly by the arms and threw her on the bed. She could handle her anyway she wanted now, she was no longer human and didn't have to be gentle.
"I do not want to punish you Buffy, but I might need to. Today I will present you to my court and you will be my submissive. That means you will have to obey my every command. If you don't your punishment is going to be a whole lot worse than the one you are about to get now." She told the Wicca-vampire.
Buffy tried not to cry, but the sobs were racking through her body. There was nothing she could do now.
"Get off the bed and on your knees." She commanded her childe.
Without a moments hesitation she crawled off the bed and onto her knees. Head bowed not looking up at her sire. Cordelia had a grin of satisfaction on her face, she will be easy to teach after all.
"I thought that I was supposed to be your equal?" Buffy asked.
The vampire walked away from her closet o fun and placed a few things on the bedside table. Buffy glanced at this and frowned deeply, this was not what she expected.
"You forget my dear Buffy, you were never meant to be my equal. I just said that to get you to join my side. You are my personal lover, my personal concubine, I can do whatever I please to you and there is nothing you can do about it." She told her with a bit of sweetness to her voice.
Buffy's knees were starting to hurt; the floors are hard even if they have carpet on them. She looked as Cordelia grabbed a ridding crop and began brandishing in the air. This truly frightened Buffy. Then she came up with an idea, she began going over spells in her head to help lessen the pain. Silently she began to chant and everything started to feel better.
"What is it with the crying? I don't care if you are soul having or not. You are supposed to be superior to any human. My god you are a freakin prophesized child." She brought the riding crop down on her back, causing Buffy to cry out in pain. The younger vampire tried to re do the spell but it wasn't working.
"That is something I will not tolerate ever! You are not some weakling, you are strong. I better not catch any tears the next time you make a kill." She brought the crop down again on her legs, causing Buffy to fall forward.
"What do you have to say for yourself Buffy?" Cordelia asked the girl.
The sobs turned into silent sniffles, "I have nothing to say." She said softly. Cordelia grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up off the floor. The anger was gone from her eyes and replaced with the warmth she was capable of when need be.
"I don't want to punish you, much, but you need to learn how to live the way us vampires do. It's survival of the fittest, and if anyone is going to bow down to you, you need to be tough. Forget you have the soul; the soul can come out in the privacy of our bedroom. You will learn Buffy and I will be your teacher. Now I am going to step out for a little while, clean yourself up, you will find clothes that fit you in the closet. I do love you Buffy." She walked up the stairs and out of the room leaving Buffy alone to wallow in her misery.
Lindsey and Drusilla were sitting in the living room talking quitely when her cell phone went off. She got up to answer it as if not to disturb the sleeping individual in the house.
"Hello?" She answered.
"It's done, our warrior is no more." Cordelia's voice came over the phone.
Drusilla jumped up and down in glee causing Lindsey to look at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Did she enjoy her gift?" She asked.
"Yeah, but she cried, the soul is going to be a problem. Anyways I want you and Lindsey home quickly, she needs to see a familiar face." She yelled through the phone.
Drusilla hung up the phone and went back to Lindsey; he saw the smile on her face and knew that everything went according to plan.
"That was our sire, she said Buffy has awoken, and she killed her best friend." Drusilla said proudly.
Lindsey didn't know whether to feel elated or to morn the loss of his cousin. He went with the first one. Now Buffy was with him for eternity, now the only problem was, what were they going to tell Jenny? Buffy wouldn't be allowed to live at the house anymore.
"Well, that's good to know. So what now?" He asked.
"She wants us to come home; it seems our Buffy still has her soul. She was punished, and Cordelia said she needed to see a familiar face." The vampiress relayed.
The Faith incarnate sat in her apartment and cried, for the loss of her best friend. They were connected on some level and now it's no more. Buffy had the potential to become the most powerful Wicca to ever be brought into this world. She was the end all for everything, with her gone there is no telling what's going to happen. The first thing she needs to do is consult with the elders and figure out what's going to happen, then talk to Amy.
Harry2- You just don't know how devious she can get. When it rains it pours.
General Mac- I love to tease, it's who I am. Now I've updated both stories, review away.
