14 | Oh Lord

"You're crazy,"

"You're delusional!" I shot back and he rolled his eyes.

"Come on. You're being unfair. I'm just as strong as Angel,"

Cordelia snorted, entering the room.

"No you're not," she told him.

"This has nothing to do with you Cordelia," Emiel spoke, sniffing at her and she gave him a dubious one over.

"Right,"

I rolled my eyes, turning my gaze back to him.

"You're so stupid," I spoke, but it came out more of a murmur as my eyes locked with his.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah," I replied, trying not to lose my cool, knowing Cordelia was standing right next to us.

"Hello? Demons?" she interrupted, waving a hand between us, hand on hip.

"Sorry," I replied, wiping my now sweaty palms on my leather pants.

"The growl demons that like, almost killed you guys are gone. I think. That's what Angel said anyway," Cordelia told us.

"So they're dead?" Emiel clarified and she stared back at him.

"Well, I don't know! They're gone! Ask Angel what his newest cryptic message means! I've been doing it since high school," she snapped in response.

"Geez okay,"

"What are you making the people who don't work here do this time?" Angel asked, entering the room, Wesley following quickly behind.

"Nothing!" Cordelia exclaimed, as if shocked he would accuse her of such a thing and Angel smiled slightly.

"I'm joking, Cordelia," he replied calmly and she froze.

"Oh,"

"The demons are dead!" Wesley announced suddenly and I couldn't help but grin.

"Nice! How'd ya do it?" I asked and he looked away, suddenly awkward.

"Ah, well-"

"He didn't," Angel interjected, smiling again. "I did. Grull demons put up a fight but they're far from unbeatable,"

"That's good right? I mean, if it's the grull demons behind all of this then its good that they're not...immortal?" I spoke, stumbling awkwardly over my words. (A/N: Thats so me coded lmaooo)

Luckily, they got the gist.

"We still don't know how its all connected. It could be some kind of plot for revenge or-"

Something clicked inside my head and I looked up at the others.

"Wait a second," I interrupted. "The kid was a grull demon right? Jacob?"

"Yeah. Why?" Angel asked and I stood.

"The kid was a demon. The guy who shot him, was like you and Wesley and Buffy! He's like a demon hunter! And that's why he killed the kid; not because he's a psychopathic child murderer but because the kid was a demon! Now the other grull demons, probably Jacob's siblings who are now..."

"Grown up demons," Cordelia supplied.

"Grown up demons," I agreed. "They want revenge! So they're doing what they think the guy um, Reynold or whatever his name is was doing!"

"Killing random people!" Cordelia exclaimed and I grinned.

"Yeah!"

Emiel laughed quietly but both Angel and Wesley looked deep in thought.
