Cordelia walked through the cemetary sighing. Giles had ensisted she patrol tonight. Saturday. SATURDAY! Of all days. They were currently working on the ritual to give Spike a soul so he could suffer for killing Cordelia. But they still needed some little things. As for now she would just have to fight Spike. She had only fought him once and he lost miserably. She wondered if he'd show up tonight. She suddenly sensed Angel around. (These powers are soo weird)
"Hey Angel." She said without even turning around. He came out from behind a tombstone. He looked tired or rather in pain as he always looks. She let out a long tired sigh.
"Tired?" He asked. He half smiled at her. Cordelia didn't answer his question.
"What are you doing here?" She was getting tired of Angels overprotectiveness of her. He sighed and walked slowly towards.
"Just wanted to help you patrol." He said simply. Cordelia didn't reply. She started walking off and climbed over a wall. She knew Angel was following her. She then saw Spike laying on the ground. He wasn't unconcious. Just drunk off his british butt. He burped loudly. He had a bottle in his hand. He then started singing Celine Dions "My heart Will Go On" off key.
"Near, Far, Where Ev....er..Yoooouuuuuuu ARE!!! My DEAD heart will go ooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!! Onnnnccccccccccceeeee MORE You OPEN the DOOR! LALALALALALALALALALA 'burp' My DEAD HEART WILL GO ON!" He almost yelled. Cordelia gave a sad expression. She walked over to him and grabbed him by the arms and forced him up. His head wobbled around before he looked her straight in the eyes. It seemed like eternity when his drunken eyes looked into hers. He hiccupped.
"Cordelia, MY SWEET!" He said smiling. His body wobbled some more. He started to laugh a bit. Angel just stood there watching. "CORDY! hehe. I got to tell you something." Spike said.
"What is it Spike?" She asked. Spike smiled at her.
"I LOVE YOU!" He said then laughed. Cordelia knew his drunkeness was taking over his thoughts. She contemplated staking him but decided it wouldn't be a fair fight. So, she held it off. Angel finally came over and helped her pick Spike up. (How many times do I have to save his butt?) She asked herself.
"I LOVE CORDELIA!" Spike said over and over and over again. "Alright now. Everything is going to be cool." Cordelia said. They brought Spike to his mansion and plopped him down on his bed. He lay there for a second laughing. Then he stopped. He looked at Cordelia then sat up.
"I love you." He said sweetly.
"I love you, too." She said so he would shutup. Spike stopped unbreathing for a second. His eyes suddenly turned into a dreamy state. He leaned his head back and smiled widely. He then plopped back onto the bed. He laughed again. Cordelia started to worry about him. She went and took the bottle for him...or well.. atleast tried.
"NOOOOOO!" Spike yelled sounding like a 5 year old. He held tightly to the bottle. She struggled with Spike over the bottle, but, he simply wasn't going to let go. She finally gave up. She sighed at him. She put her hand on his forehead as if to check if he had a fever. He looked at her this time seriously. He shrugged away from her. He was irritated. "Cordelia, I'm sorry I tried to beat you up last time and I'm sorry I killed you." He said. Cordelia finally realized that they must of done the spell. He had a soul. "You gotta believe that I really do love you. Don't ask my why! I just do. I can't help it!" He said. Cordelia almost felt sad. Sad at the fact that she couldn't say she loved him because she didn't. She looked down at the ground. She felt like she was gonna cry. She didn't. When she looked up Spike had passed out. She went to go leave but Spike suddenly woke up.
"No, don't leave. I haven't finished telling you yet." He said. He grabbed Cordelia's arm. Cordelia turned to face him.
"Spike. I'm going to go now."
"NOOOO!!! I have to tell you what is going to happen." He yelled. She was shocked. She stood there disturbingly quiet. "There gonna kill you!" He said. "Who? Who is gonna kill me?" She asked.
"Don't you understand?! You are the 1,999,999th slayer ever! Which entitles you to more supernatural powers than any other slayer." He stopped for a second. Cordelia was listening. "Tomorrow is June 4th. This June 4th marks the 7 billionth year of the slayers. If they can manage to kill you on the anniversary of the 7 billionth year than the hellmouth will open and nothing can stop it. Not even if we could revive you. Nothing. Once your soul leaves your body the hell mouth is opened permanently." He said. He looked deep into Cordelia's eyes. She knew he was serious.

"I'm afraid he is right." Giles said rubbing his temples. He was frustrated. Cordelia plumped down in sadness. (GREAT! Now every vampire in the world is after me and I can't stop every vampire in the world at the same time. I'm going to die.) It was as if Spike had read her thoughts. "Not if I can help it." He said. He walked in. You could tell he still had a hangover from being drunk. He sat down next to Cordelia. He seemed uncomfortable. (I won't let anyone hurt you baby.) He thought to himself. He put his arm around Cordelia to reassure her. She didn't object. She got up suddenly.
"Look, I can't hide from this no matter what. Nothing I do will stop this. So, I might as well not go down without a fight. Now Spike who is this guy who will try to kill me?" She asked.
"Jonas. He is one of the most powerful vampires in the world. His one goal in life is to break forth armageddon." He said. "In order to stop this you must beat him. If you can manage to beat him then the hellmouth will CLOSE *permanently*." He said. Cordelia wished Buffy was here to help her. She remembered the time Buffy died fighting the Master. Now it was Cordelia's turn. Willow came up to her.
"Don't worry Cordie. Everything will be ok." Cordelia and Willow hugged. Xander now came up to Cordelia and wrapped his arms around her. "We're behind you 100%" He said.

June 4th 7:30 pm.
Cordelia wondered through the Cemetary. She had killed 7 vampires in 30 minutes and still no Jonas guy. She wondered if maybe they were wrong. That maybe she was the 1,999,998th slayer and not the 1,999,999th slayer. Suddenly, She saw another Vampire. But this one was different. He was powerful.
"Jonas" she said. The vampire smiled.
"I see you know who I am. And I'm guessing you know why I'm here too." He said with a sinister smile.
"To kill me?" Cordelia said sadly. Jonas smiled some more.
"Yes, my darling. To kill you." He said. "So, would you like to just give up or let yourself think you have a chance by fighting me first." He asked. Cordelia didn't answer she simply went to punch him. He blocked her sending a punch right to her face. She fell to the floor. He laughed. He went to kick her. She blocked him and twisted his ankle. She kept fighing him half heartedly. It seemed like a fair fight, but, Jonas was only playing with her and she knew it. She finally fell to the floor sobbing hysterically. He laughed again. She just cried.
"Why?!?!" She cried. "Why! Why does it have to be me?? Just leave me alone." She pleaded. Jonas went in for the kill when Cordelia suddenly grabbed his neck and slammed him against the wall. "I told you to leave me alone." She said in a devious tone. Then she shrugged her shoulders. "But, you vampires never listen." She jerked him by the neck sending him flying about 5 feet. She then spun around and kicked him. He came back with a kick to her face. She fell to the floor, her head hitting a board. She swung her feet up kicking him in the face. He wobbled back. She swung her feet up again letting her self get up. She grabbed the board in the process and slammed in on his head breaking the board into pieces. She grabbed one of the pointing pieces. He fell back clutching his pounding head. She slammed the stake into him. He turned to dust right before her eyes. She smiled. "That was fun! Do it again sometime!" She said. She walked off.
~~~~~~
Willow, Angel, Xander, Giles, and Spike all sat in the library wondering about the fate of the world. Suddenly Cordelia came into the doors with a big smile on her face. Everyone stood up staring at her. "Hey guys!" "Cordelia!" They all yelled in unison. They all surrounded her with millions of questions.
"HEY!! Look, it's Sunday. I just finished killing about 8 vampires in one night. OK! I'm tired and tomorrow is school. So , I'm going home to sleep!" She said then trotted out the door. They all looked at each other with confused faces. Then left to go home.
Not End! But the beggining of Cordelia, The Vampire Slayer series.
