Right Kind of Wrong
General Mac- I am so glad that you are loving this fic. It's my duty as an author to torture you. I am a big supporter of the Buffy/Cordelia ship as much as Buffy/Faith (their hot).
masterranger3- Read on and you just might know. But for now, I'll never tell.
Faith woke up when she heard the phone ring, she wondered if it was Buffy. A few minutes later Joyce entered the room with the phone and handed it to Faith. The brunette gave her a smile and took it, the elder Summers left her alone.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Faith, I have some news for you." Willow's voice filtered across the line.
The slayers heart was still racing; at first she thought that it was Buffy. She should have known that, that wouldn't have been the case. If only she knew what was happening to the girl.
"What's the news? Please tell me you found my girl." She said frantically, anything was better than nothing.
"I did a locator spell last night, I know that she is somewhere outside of Sunnydale." The red head said excitedly.
Faith's heart started beating triple time, Buffy had been located. This was by far the best news she's ever heard. In a way she felt guilty because of her thinking that Buffy ran away with Angel. Common sense should have told her that the blonde would not do that.
"Faith can you here me? Are you there?" Willows voice came through the phone again.
"Sorry about that, but you just made my fuckin' day! Where the hell is she?"
Willow had to remove the phone away from her ear. She knew the brunette was a yeller, but she didn't know how much of one she was.
"I'm not sure, when I come back from class; I'm going to look into any hotels there. I'm pretty sure that if it is Angel who took Buffy he wouldn't use his name. We may just have to go there and look for ourselves you know. I-"
"Red you are starting to babble. You do that, and we can check it out together, when we find Dead Boy he is so dusted."
Faith hung up the phone without as much as a good bye. She was concerned about Buffy and nothing else.
Cordelia was in a diner inside the hotel where she was supposed to meet Angel. He told her that Buffy was still asleep, so that would be no problems. She could have kicked herself mentally, Willow was a practicing Wicca and a locator spell was easy for her. The waitress came over to offer her some coffee, but she waved her away.
"What's with the clandestine meeting place?" Angel asked, in a low voice.
It caused Cordelia to jump a little, because he was not there a second ago.
"Stealthy much? Was Buffy still asleep?" The brunette asked.
Angel took a seat across from his partner in crime. He was not an early morning person by nature, and of course him being a vampire didn't help either. Personally he wanted to still be by Buffy.
"I didn't mean to scare you, anyways you sounded panicked."
"Willow did a locator spell, and she found Buffy. She doesn't know exactly where she is, but the general vicinity. Faith and the rest of the group will be making an appearance sometime soon." She told him, under no uncertain terms.
Angel told her to continue, the sooner this conversation was over, the sooner he could get back to Buffy.
"Move her somewhere else, take her to LA or something, just somewhere there can be access to her."
"Cordelia don't you think this is a little much? If they find us I am going to be dust and there is no telling what Faith would do to you. I mean is your friendship with Buffy worth all of this?" He asked her.
The brunette thought for a minute before answering, "I value my friendship with her, but you know and I know that it was more than just that."
"I understand that, but what makes you think Buffy would be so forgiving? You are trying to manipulate their relationship, so Faith would hopefully go away and Buffy would come crying to you." He told her.
"Like you can talk, you came back after having your soul bound. If that's not trying to get her back than I don't know what it is? You love her just as much as I do, and you don't want to see her with Faith, deep down in your heart you know she belongs with us. I mean you didn't protest too much when we both had her Homecoming night." She gave him a smug smile.
To Angel that was a low blow, he knew that's what she was using against him. If it got out about his, Buffy and Cordelia's relationship, everything would literally go to hell. Yes he knows that Faith and Buffy don't belong together. But he wasn't going to stand in the way of her happiness, no matter how much he protested it.
The brunette knew she had him, little did he know that she had the whole thing on tape. If he backed out now, that tape would be available to all Scooby's plus Buffy's watcher. Not even Faith would want to be around Buffy, but she would do that only if she had to.
"Fine, I will take her to LA, but that is the extent of it. What exactly do you hope to gain from this?" He asked her one last time.
She loved it when things go her way. She leaned in closer to the vampire and began to whisper.
"It's simple, the longer we keep Buffy away, Faith loses all hope and move on. Buffy finds out and the relationship is over. Buffy will be all alone, and who do you think she'll turn to before Willow?" She said sweetly as could be.
Angel couldn't believe his ears; she is going to all this trouble so Buffy could turn to her. He thought that he had it bad, but she was out of control. All he wanted to do was wash his hands with it, but with Buffy involved it wasn't going to happen, not now not ever.
"So she turns to you, then what? How would she react when she finds out that you are behind this? Don't you have a boyfriend already? What about Xander? How do you think that he will react, when he finds out that you orchestrated this little fiasco? Think about what you are running the risk of losing, for something that may never happen again." He told her honestly, he needed her to see the severity of this situation.
"Buffy and I rekindle what we had before, if not I will use the tape over her head. How would her precious friends react to their slayer getting boffed by her ex-vampire lover and one of her best friends? As far as Xander is concerned he can be left in the dark, I love Buffy and that is never going to change. I fell for her hard when she came to Sunnydale High sophomore year. Cordelia Chase does not fall hard for anyone; I was only dating Xander to get close to her. If this blows up, I will continue to fight for her, something that you never did."
Cordelia got up leaving a very perplexed vampire behind. He gave some thought to what she had said; it was true that he didn't fight for her or what they had. What he did was for the best, a decision that he still regrets until this day. The waitress approached him and offered him coffee, he declined. The waitress gave him a small smile, at least she tried. Angel got up and walked out of the diner, Buffy should already be up and they needed to go, before the Calvary comes a calling.
Buffy woke up in confusion; she didn't know where she was until she focused her vision. The memories came rushing back to her, the kidnapping, to Angel hitting her and making her bruise. The room was surprisingly quiet, she kind of hoped to find Angel reading or watching her. A slight pang hit her heart, until she heard the doorknob turning; she began looking for something to defend herself with. Just because she didn't have her strength didn't mean she wasn't resourceful, she found a pencil and picked it up. The door opened and she lunged towards the intruder, and stopped dead when she was that it was Angel. She put the pencil down and looked away ashamed.
"What's with the defensive?" He asked, after shutting the door.
"I thought it was an intruder or something, had to defend myself somehow. You know slayer strength is not here anymore, well at least not right now." She looked away.
Angel looked her over and he knew that what they were doing is for the best. He missed seeing her in the morning, when she would stay the night over his house after patrolling. She looked like a goddess and then some, it took a lot of control for him to not throw her on the bed and ravish her.
"Well, that's a good thing. We need to leave now, don't ask questions, and just do as I say. I don't want to have to hurt you." He told her seriously.
"Angel, what's going on? Why do we need to leave? Also, you forget about the little thing called sun, you will be dust." She told him while gathering up her things.
"My car has special glass, so that's not a problem. As far as our leaving, there is a bunch of demons heading this way. Some kind of Demonpalooza or something, if they find out there is a slayer here, your fair game." He hated lying to her, but he couldn't tell her the truth.
Buffy looked at him skeptically, but followed him out anyway. Why would a partially human hotel do a convention for demons? Without further telling she followed him to his car and got in. She stepped on something when she saw what it was she gave a mental praise to the powers that be. Her cell phone, she must of dropped it last night, picking it up she put it in her pocket hoping to use it later. Angel got in and started the car, he gave a small smile to Buffy and they drove off.
Faith skipped her first classes of the morning, and waited for Willow in her dorm room. Cordelia was probably already in class, she was growing restless by the minute. Willow walked into her room and nearly fell out seeing Faith sitting on her bed. She closed the door and put her books on the desk.
"I didn't expect to see you here; I thought you would be in class." The red head approached the brunette.
"You know me Red; I just want to get my girl back. Giles said that we could use his car to go get Buffy. I am going to kill him on site, and don't try to stop me. He's going to rue the day he decided to fuck with what's mine."
Willow actually felt sorry for the vampire, but thinking back on everything it didn't last long. She followed behind the dark slayer closing the door behind her, she hated going off to do things half cocked.
