Inside Dreams
by Always Luv

Cordelia collapsed onto the ground. Writhing in pain. Some people say that a paper cut was the worst kind of pain. They were wrong. Really Wrong, THIS was the worst kind of pain. Images flashed infront of her eyes.

Willow doing a spell

Buffy

L.A.

Angel

Weapons

Buffy again

Giles and the gang in Sunnydale

A phone

Usually she knew something or felt it when she had a vision. This was just pictures. She picked up her coat. Yelled out for Dennis to lock the door, and raced to the office. Her first instinct was to check the machine. She had seen a phone, and the gang. Maybe they had called.

When she got to her desk, she saw the red number flashing "1". She pressed play and heard Giles voice from the small speaker.

"Angel, if you're there, please pick up. Buffy, she's run off. She said she was going to LA then ran out of the room. We are afraid, something might happen to her. She's not paying attention. She seemed upset. Please take care of her......."

"Oh god" Cordy gasped, her vision coming together. She had to go unlock Angel. That's when she noticed the screaming coming from the basement apartment. Specifically Angel screaming from his room. "Buffy!!...........Buffy!!!"

Cordelia rushed down the stairs. "Angel I'm coming." She shouted

She rushed down to find Angel desperately trying to escape his bonds. She looked into his eyes and they both knew that the other knew. "I'm so glad you're here. Unlock me!"

"OK, OK....Oh Shit. Wesley took the keys home with him"

"What!!!"

"Wesley has the keys. We weren't expecting this to happen. We thought we'd be unlocking yo-"

"I don't care what you have to do, just get me out of here, NOW!"

"I'll call him" As Cordelia rushed up the stairs she muttered under her breath "Little creep. If Buffy dies, I'll kill him, cause Angel will drive me to the funny farm"

"Hello." Came a stuffy British voice.

"No time. Bring chain keys to the office NOW!!!!"

"Cordelia??"

"I SAID NOW!!!" She yelled before hanging up the phone. She went back down stairs.

"Wesley is on his way he'll be here any second." Cordy told him, running down the stairs.

"He'd better be. How do you know what happened?"

"I had a vision."

"Oh"

They sat in silence until Wesley arrived a minute later.

"Gimmie the keys." Cordy ordered

"You see the thing is. I lost them"

"WHAT!!!" Angel bellowed "I don't care what you do, Just get me out of these damn chains!!!"

They began trying to find something with which to break the chains.

Penn dropped the girl on the floor. She was still out cold. He brought a sturdy wooden chair to the middle of the room, put her on it, and began to tie her there. As her was tying her, he noticed a scar on her throat. It was a bite mark. She had been bitten and she was not dead. What vampire would not finish her off. To have the prestige of having killed a slayer, was the best kind of pride. He disregarded it, she probably killed him, before he had a chance to drain her. That vamp was dust long ago.

She began to stir. "Angel?" he heard her mumble.

"Angel, why don't you just sleep, try to reach her, give her your support while we work on these chains. Don't worry, she's strong. She'll be Ok. I promise" Cordy soothed.

As Angel fell asleep, Cordy heard Wesley ask. "Who? What's going on?? Who?"

"It doesn't matter. Just get those chains off of him."

"WHY??"

Angel began to see through Buffy's eyes. Feel her pain, her anger, her sadness. He saw Penn in front of, her? Him? Them? He noticed a glint of something. He gasped when he saw what that was. Penn turned around and had a VERY sharp knife in his hands.

Cordy and Wesley looked up as they heard Angel gasp. His head shot up.

"Buffy!!" He looked over to them. "HURRY!" He began, once more pulling on the chains in a desperate attempt to free himself. "Hold on love, hold on" he whispered, although Cordelia and Wesley both heard.
