Dreams Of Destruction....

[Queen C]

(from Returning home Thread, placed it here instead)

Cordy made her way to the front door after a long day, it was as if she was run over by a two ton truck and she wanted nothing more then to curl up into a little ball and die. She got along with faith for the most part, fighting only a little bit. she learned that even faith was a human too, that she had feelings and she owed doyle that. She missed him a whole lot, but she wouldn't let that anger of him sacrificing himself get the better of her.

Pushing open the door Dennis was there with pills in air. Cordy smiled and took them. "Hi Dennis..." Dennis dimmed the lights and noticed cordy heading for the bathroom. He started her water. "Nice and hot Dennis, today was hell." When she heard the water stop she smiled and slipped into the nice hot water. letting it take all her problems away, everything just melted.

He face pounded, and stung when she brough the cloth up to her face. Even with buffy she never had marks this bad. Sometimes she missed Sunnydale, but other times she gave a sigh of relief that she left when she did. Leaving to LA and keeping all the memories of high school behind. she looked at the clock it was 11:00pm, She felt sleep over take her and knew she couldn't fight it....

~Dream~

"Cordelia, wake up..." she heard a not to familar voice, when she opened her eyes a demon stood there, she let a shirek out then stopped, and looked into his eyes. "Doyle?" His smile was just like she remember it. "Ya its me." she slapped him and hurt her hand, but it felt good. "What he hell is wrong with you, scaring me like that!" she sat up quickly and was stunned by the world around her. Dressed in a dark Red dress, her lips Crimson and all around were people dressed in robes bowing down to her. "Not like i am complain Doyle but why are they bowing at me?"

"Its your destiny, Cordelia...." Now Cordy was even more confused the before, in a way she could believe what she was seeing, let along hearing. "No see my destiny is to fight the forces of evil with Angel, the old cordy wanted this more then anything, but the new me..." she shook her head, "...All the new me wants is to help those around me." Doyle smiled shifting form and nodding. "You will Cordelia, your helping already..." The Demonic Doyle smiled. "...look." She watched as a child was dragged from its parent and tossed into a pit of darkness. "This is your future cordy, everything your doing now is pointless..." Cordy screamed as one by one the children were being tossed into a burning fire.

Cordy screaming getting up trying to stop it from happening, when Doyle Pulled her back. "..But you said..." Doyle smiled and knocked her back onto the bed. "...i said a lot of things Cordy, alot of it was to get you on the path you are on now." Cordy screamed as a giant blade came twords her, just as it was about to reach her she....

~End dream~

Shooting up from the now cold tub she shiverd her lips purple, she looked at the clock it was now 1:00am. when she stood dennis was there with a towel and he wrapped it around her, as she dry herself off she sliped on her pajama's and crawled into bed crying, hoping what she saw wasn't what she would become....

[Queen C]

Cordy woke that morning from her Three hours sleep completely overtired. Her head pounded and not the Just had a vision bag either. Knowing the day would be anything but Perfect, she crawled out of bed and made her way to the bathroom, as she looked in the mirror she noticed her lips was still swollen, she cursed and knew if she saw Henry she would knock him out for the fun.

Reaching into her Cabinet she grabbed a bottle of her Pain killers and popped on in her mouth swallowing them she sighed and she knew soon they would give her Relief. On her way to the kitchen she looked at the clock and Realized she was late for work, in a way she didn’t really care. Her head hurt, her face swollen and her anger was full scale, she knew one person said one thing wrong to her today she might blow up.

“I have to be careful, I don’t want to upset anyone today…” then she sighed. “Aww fuck’em…” She grumbled as she made her pot of coffee, as was schedule to be in work three hours ago and knew when she got there either there were going to be grumbles or concern. Cordy Hoped for concern, in a way she wanted nothing more then to stay in bed and cry some more, but her eyes couldn’t take that kind of abuse. The last time she cried that hard was when she saw all those people in trouble, and one other time as well, A.E (after-Xander) but she wouldn’t bring that up.

Grabbing her car keys she turned to face an invisible Dennis and smiled. “Remember Dennis keep the music down, and don’t answer the door unless it someone you know. Better yet someone I know or. You get the idea.” she smiled and headed for the car, today was going to be a long day.

*~Back from hotel~*

Cordy Opened the door to a wonderfully clean appartment and knew Dennis had been cleaning today. she couldn't believe it, in a ways it was either for two reasons, one she got in trouble case he was blasting the radio or two because he knew she would have another rough day at work. "Dennis you didn't have to clean the house..."

Closeing and locking the door she moved to the bathroom and started to wash her face, removing the bandaids and make-up looking at her now puffy face, the scratched looked infected and in a way she couldn't believe it cause it only happened a couple of hours ago.

Dennis floaghted over her medication, and this time cordy shook her head. "I'm not going to sleep tonight dennis, not after the dream i had." she walked to her purse and took out some Caffine pills. No sleep for the Queen tonight, she wasn't going back to any world where she had people killed, or anything along those lines.

She sat down on her couch and went through the dream in her head, wondering what it all meant.

For a while cordy sat reading her magazine, but something felt diffrent. Cordy couldn't place her finger on it of course, it was as if something was there with her. Then She got that shaking the feeling that she was being watched, she gave a quick look around and a smiled when she realised she was just being Paranoid, that was of course until something flung across the room at her. "Ekk!" she ducked the book, it was one of wesley's from his office. "Not funny, who threw that!" Standing up she looked all around but there was no one. She knew it wasn't wesley, he wouldn't throw his books around.

Then just if by magic the hotel became all foggy, and when she stood and she noticed a smell. It was strong, and smelled something she never though she smell again, the smell of a morgue. Getting the courage she headed for the basement, unsure about this. As she decended the stairs the smell got worse, she could smell blood, and rotten flesh. "I think i'm going to be sick."

She heard laughter and whimpering, a man and a women. The man was the one Crying she could always tell, and the women was laughing at him. As Cordeila Reached the bottom she saw blood dried and knew, bones and flesh laying unconcealed on the floor. "What is this?" The figures didn't answer they just kept on doing there own thing. Cordy watched, she couldn't make out the two figures. The women circled the man and kept smiling.

"Her Most evil Cordelia gives her regareds that she couldn't kill you herself, she wished you a most painful trip to the afterlife." Cordy's mind raced, she couldn't believe it. "Did she just say my name? No it couldn't be me she was talking about." Cordy wouldn't let this happen, there was no way. cordy moved forward and when she tried to grab a hold of the women's hand with the knife, her hand went right through.

"This can't be happening to me, i won't..." she headed for the stairs crawling as if she was going to be sick. she couldn't believe what she saw, the blood the flesh ripping. She couldn't cause this much pain, she knew she was good but damn. As she reached the top of the stairs cordy noticed the hotel was gone. a throne room was in it's place, moving around the room cordy saw one single window, headed right to it she looked out into what she though was L.A, but she knew it was not longer. Just as she was about to turn around a demon Appeared and Grabbed her. "LET ME GO!"

Cordy cursed then She elbowed him, but it did not phase the beast. Cordy was brough forth to a throne, making her to keep her head down. she tried to stuggle but she knew it was no use. she felt a new Presents near her, she was unsure who it was. "I know her..." The voice was filled with Venome and anger, still the same sweetness as before, but she sounded older. Cordy didn't want to look up now, she didn't want to see what she would become. She knew this women was her, Something she was fighting against "...This was me when i cared." She felt the women's hand tangle into her curls twirling her finger around one.

"What should be do with her?" The demon spoke his voice was that of a pool drain annoying sucking sounds as he spoke. Cordy sighed and wanted to yell at him to get away. "O i have the perfect idea for my Good side, Take her to THE ROOM." Cordy couldn't imagine what they were going to do to her, and she didn't want to know, she just hoped whatever it was would be quick.

Then Before she could look into the eyes of her new self a bag was placed over her head she screamed and was dragged away, she could hear herself laugh. Something was holding her in his rough flesh close as she was taken from the Throne room and take to THE ROOM, whatever that was. "Hope you like your new Roommate, after she was brough back, she became Clinically insane..." Cordy was tossed in just as her bag was removed, the room wasn't bad for a prison, but she could hear some scratching behind her, and a bang against the wall once and a while.

"Ok first they can't see me, then they can. someone needs to make up there mind!" The scratching stopped and it stepped into the light. "Faith?"

"You..." Faith pointed, and cordy all of a sudden felt sick. she knew "She" did this, but faith couldn't tell it wasn't her fault. "I'm not the evil Cordelia Faith, She did this too you not me..."

"Noo, I did this to me!" she lashed nail's coming in contact with cordy's face....

When she looked at the clock she noticed it was only the afternoon, and knew she wasn't going to spend the rest of the day in her house, she would just go back to work. and with a smiled and waved goodbye to dennis and headed back to the hotel...
