Tonight couldn't be any worse. Well, it started out good, when Angel came back here with me. I had a chance to catch up with him. Of course, it seems he's back for good. To think, I thought he was gone for good. I knew he couldn't stay away from Buffy for long. Speaking of Buffy, she's upstairs in my room right now, with Angel. I was hesitant to leave them both in my room, together. But, I knew it was something I had to do. If those two didn't talk now, there would be much broodiness in Sunnydale. That's the last thing I wanted. Besides, this Leonardo guy was sorta taking care of me.
When we got downstairs, he got ice and put it in a bag for me. My eye was pretty bruised up. Not my best day. Michael really pissed me off. Who was he to ruin my face. This bruise will be here for at least three days. I can't go outside like this!
I decided to pour myself a drink. I so needed it. Leonardo looked like he wanted something, so I poured him some Whiskey. We talked. I got to know him a little more. Turns out, he's a vampire with a soul, like Angel. Interesting. Someone's probably not feeling special, anymore. Anyway, he knew Angelus, but he didn't know Angel. Leonardo's after Michael for many reasons. Michael's the person that gave him his soul. But, he also did something horrible to him. He mentioned something about friends, but he didn't get into it. I didn't want to force information from him.
Leonardo was ready to go to Michael's. I told him how close he lives, and he was ready. He wanted to take Buffy and Angel, but I told him that we should leave them to talk, and that we should go and check it out. I mentioned that Buffy and Angel would be talking for hours.
"Hours, really? Maybe they should just bed and get it over with? It would save time."
I looked over at him. "Uh, yeah. That would so not be a good idea. It's happened before. Angel is capable of losing his soul. You see he's cursed. If he experiences one moment of true happiness, he loses his soul and turns back to Angelus." I walked over to the sink and placed my glass in it. "So you see, that wouldn't be a good idea. It's a long story. Maybe, I'll tell you later. Right now, we should go."
"You and me it is, then, Cordelia. He'll be building his powers again, I'm sure. He could be dangerous, but not if you're with me, and you can punch him as often as you want. Then, I break his neck."
I looked at him with a worried face. "I like the breaking his neck part." We walked out the front door and headed toward Michael's house. The walk there was brief. "Here it is." Leonardo looked at me. I looked at him. I was scared. "Uh, I-I don't know if I want to go in. I'm not with the whole supernatural strength." I sighed looking up at the house. I've been here, before. It's just never been this creepy looking to me until now. "Maybe, this wasn't a good idea. W-We should come back in the morning."
Leonardo showed no signs of turning back. Who could blame him? He's a vampire. He could kick Michael's ass as much as he wants. "Ok, are you gonna go our not? We don't have all night you know. I want to go to bed alive some time, tonight." I snapped at Leonardo. I started to get antsy. More than that, I was afraid.
