**************************************** Forgotten, Not Gone

"Hey, Cordy." He walked into the room and she looked up and smiled at him

"Hi" Her warm smile seemed to melt even his cold unbeating heart.

"So what's on the agenda for today?"

"Not much." She placed a hand on her cheek and looked a little disappointed.

"Still no visions?"

"Nope and I haven't decided if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

"Well, lets just be happy you're not writhing in pain."

"I thought you liked me having the visions."

"I like the fact that you are my seer, but I don't like the pain you have to endure to be so."

"You know you worry too much."

"Only about those I care about."

"I'll be fine, and you've said it yourself, I'm strong. I can handle any..." she gasps "...thing" she finishes before she starts to fall. Angel quickly catches her before she hits the ground.

"Cordy? Are you ok? Cordy..." Sh lays still in in his arms. He closes he eyes in concentration, she's still alvie, he can feel it. He can hear her heart beat and breathing, although both are faint. Then why isn't she waking up?, he kept thinking. He shakes her lightly, still no response. He picks her up and carries her to his bedroom. He places her on the bed and tucks her in.

"You're gonna be ok, Cordy, I promise. I won't leave your side unti you wake up and you will wake up." He kissed the top of her head as he smoothe back her hair off her forehead. His hand then gently took hold of hers as he just watched and willed her to wake up.

"Is he still in there?" Wes asked Fred as she came down the stairs

"Yup, he won't budge. He just sits and stares at her, occassionally he'll growl, but mostly it's him brooding and staring." She set thet mug she was carrying on the table.

"Did he at least eat?"

"He took a sip then handed it back, it's progress I guess."

"It's been 3 days, Fred, he can't go on like this much longer."

"He's taking it kinda hard isn't he, worse then the rest of us."

"Well, Cordelia and him have grown quite close in the past few years. He's always been very over protective of her. One might say she means everything to him."

"Moira." She muttered solemnly.

"What was that, Fred?"

Nothing. Any luck finding out why what happened to Cordelia, well happened to Cordelia?"

"Not yet, but I'm narrowing it down. I could use your help with the research."

"Sure, I'd love to help. Two heads are better then one, I always say."

"Good, you take those books and I'll take these." He pointed to two large stacks of books.

"I thought you said you narrowed it down?"

"Oh, I did, you should've seen the...uh...earlier stack." Fred sighed and made her way over to her pile, took the first book off the top and started her research.

"Cordy? I know you're in there and you're gonna wake up or...I don't know what I'll do, but...you just gotta wake up. There is no negotiating this time. I know how stubbern you can be, but now is not the time to show your stubbern side. It's not the same without you here bossing me arround and rolling your eyes at me. I know you want to come to and tell me to knock off my brooding and quit hovering. I'd give anything for you to yell at me or give me one of your famous tounge lashings. Come on yell at me, lecture me, call me a anything you want...even a eunich. I promise I won't even argue with you this time, even though I'm not one. I'd do anything...anything."

"Anything?" A voice came from behind him. Angel turned around sharply, never letting go of Cordelia's hand.

"Who are you?"

"The answer to your prayers."

"I don't pray."

"Well then I'm here to help."

"So I ask again, who are you."

"Name's Stan." He stuck out his hand and withdrew it quickly when Angel just stared at the outstreched hand. "Ok not one for formalities I can see that. I promise I'm here to help you out. I'm a...uh...guess you could say...a wish demon. I grant wishes to those in dire need of them."

"Why should I believe you?"

"I know you want your seer to wake up."

"How did you know she's my seer?"

"Duh, I know everything about you and her, it's part of the job description."

"Oh, then do you know what's wrong with her?"

"That I do."

"Well..."

"Her last vision completely wiped her out, her mind was on overload and just shut down."

"So you can make the load a little lighter, so to say?"

"In a manor of speaking, yeah."

"Will she wake up on her own?"

"Doubtful, very doubtful."

"So what are you waiting for? Wake her up."

"Well there is a little price tag on this ya know?"

"Of course, the enevitable catch, what do you want? Money, power, my soul? What?

"No, all I want is your memories."

"My memories?"

"Of her." He pointed to Cordy laying so still on the bed.

"You want to take away my memories of Cordelia? Why?"

"That's my M.O. I give people their wishes and in return I get their most precious memories and as I see it there is none more precious to you then her."

"I won't remember her at all?"

"Every moment you two have shared will be erased nad times when you two were with others, in your mind she wasn't there."

"A life without Cordelia? I-I don't know." He looked over at his beautiful seer. "Are you sure there is no other way."

"None that I can see. Hey, man, I'm sorry, but if you don't decide fast, you'll lose her anyway."

"What do you mean?"

"Everyday she doesn't wake up body starts it's slow shut down until there is no heartbeat nad no breathing. I know you've noticed that they get fainter and fainter, weaker and weaker everyday."

"Yeah, I noticed."

"So, what's your choice, your seer alive or..."

"Fine, do it, as long as Cordy's alright." The demon made his way over to her and rested his hands on her head. He muttered an incantation and a flash of light lit up the room and the demon disappeared. Angel blinked and Cordelia's eyes fluttered open.

"Angel?" He turned at the sound of his name.

"Hmm?"

"Oh, Angel, you're here."

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"I knew you'd find away to get me back to you, you always do."

"I do?"

"Yeah, silly. What's wrong, you're acting strange, stranger then usual if that's even possible." She giggled slightly then her smile faded as he stared at her in utter confusion.

"Can I ask you question?"

"Yeah, anything."

"Who are you?"
