This was just freakin' beautiful. Granted Faith did the right thing and helped me, she'd killed the demon. Not only killed the demon, but took a swan dive out the window with said demon and broke his neck as I watched from above. I was about to say something when she looked up at me but then she just took off, running for her life down the alley. I

"Cordelia?" I called, hurrying into the lobby. I had heard her enter, but she would have found me in the back office in a few seconds anyway... until she started screaming. I threw down the book I had been reading, and moved out into the lobby.

"Cordelia.. what's wrong?" I asked her, moving to her side. Even as I got closer, there were faint whispers in my mind, but I shoved them aside. I didn;t have time for those right now; Cordelia was-

Probably hearing those voices... "Damn," I muttered, and gripped Cordelia's shoulders. The Thesulac was still here...

"Cordy, don't listen to it... come on..." Shit. I didn't know how to do the ritual, and only Cordy knew where Wesley was, and Faith...

Wasn't here. I frowned, then turned back to Cordy. Faith could wait.

I gripped my hands over my ears hard, trying to block out the sinister whispering filling my head. I wanted to claw at the back of my head to make it stop, I wonder if this is what crazy people feel like? I felt hands grip my shoulders and I wanted to lash out, until I looked up and saw Angel's face. His voice yelling at me to not listen to it, he pulled me up to a standing position and wrapped his arms around me. I kept my hands to my ears, shaking my head back and forth

"Who's coming?" I asked Cordy, pulling her closer, trying to help her. "No one's going to kill anyone... ignore it, Cordelia! Come on... I know you can do this."

I pulled her close, beginning to walk toward the doorway, oddly. Then I froze... "Yeah, they hung me..." Dammit, it was the Thesulac. The damn thing was still here... it should have gone years ago.

"Come on, Cordelia..." I said, kicking the doors to the hotel open, and pushing Cordelia outside. Thank goodness we were under the overhang, where the last traces of the sun were deflected safely. Good; the last thing I needed was to burst into flames and not be able to help Cordelia.

"Cordy, you need to tell me where Faith is... we're gonna need her help... and Wesley's. Do you know where they are?"

Angel was moving me backwards across the lobby, agreeing with the whole hanging thing. I was talking to myself, but not really myself, I was talking to the voices in my head that were telling me things. I finally took in a gasping breath when I was shoved outside into the sun and air, the voices stopping.

"Oh my god! What the hell is that in there? That's some creepy shit, Angel." I looked at him confused as he started in on Wesley and Faith. "I ... I know where Wesley is but ... I kinda lost Faith. Well I didn't lose her per se, she kinda well ... ran off after she jumped out the window and killed the big slime demon that had a girl held captive and then grabbed my ankle, but she took him down. Then she just ran off." I shrugged my shoulders as he looked at my like I was insane, and well I felt insane from this hotel

"Color coding... streets?" I asked blankly, then shook my head, deciding I didn't want to know. I would probably end up getting another explanation like the one about her filing system. Confusing to anyone but her, and there was no arguing with it. Or her, come to think of it.

"Are you sure Wesley will even help us?" I asked. "Besides, I'm not that bad with spells. I haven't doneo ne in a while, but..." I trailed off, thinking again. If Wesley didn't come, I would have to be careful... although I was sure that, since it was standard Latin, I could handle it. After all, I had known Latin when I was alive, and as far as I knew, dead languages tended not to change. We could do this, and fix it if anything went wrong

I am about to reach for the handle of my apartment door when Angel asks me if something is wrong, normally I don't ramble. I give him an annoyed glare and he drops his eyes at me and gives me that 'we aren't going anywhere until you tell me what's going on' look. I let out a sigh and lean against the wall by my door, my arms crossing over my chest.

"I just- I am conflicted." I say a bit nervously, then straighten myself up. I'm not a wounded puppy, only I sort of am after my session with Faith. "I just spent like... three fun filled days with a psycho, had her move into the Hyperion, I'm helping her get better and then I lose her. Wesley's hiding out in my apartment because he's terrified of her, and now you want his help. No, things are just peachy Angel." I didn't like the way my voice sounded, it sounded so ... so something. I don't know, but all I did know is it wasn't going to happen like this

I followed Cordelia into her apartment, and nodded to Dennis. I had met the ghost before, but Cordelia must have forgotten that... no matter now.

"Cordelia?" I asked. "Things aren't peachy... and you didn't lose her." I looked at her firmly, as she flopped on the couch. "She left after that demon... it had nothing to do with you."

I sat down in a seat across from her, and sighed. "They'll both be back, Cordy. Call Wesley's phone, leave a message, and let's go. We'll do the spell ourselves if we can't find them in the next few hours. We need to get this done soon..."

I stood up, running a hand through my hair, as Cordelia made her call. Dennis was organizing a few things, and I nodded to him again when I felt a phantom breeze run through my hair, putting it back the way it was. For a ghost, Dennis was actually pretty cool... didn't give me grief about my hair, like some people did.

((OOC- I am going to make a new thread so that Wesley, the ever charming escapee, can come in after his little interlude with Lilah Morgan :)))
