Cordelia didn’t like this at all. One moment, she was finally snuggling with Xander, the next, she was all alone, and in the alley besides.

“It’s time for my dinner.”

Cordelia blinked. The whole Naomi business came back to her. The threats . . . the fear . . . the cold.

Oh, no. She wasn’t going to be treated this way by anybody—even if it was a vampire. She tried to turn up her nose, but her face was frozen again.

“Get stuffed!” she said instead.

Naomi’s face floated before her own. “Dear Cordelia. You still don’t realize that you have no choice. It should be obvious that I can bring you to me whenever I want. And soon it will be clear that I can make you do whatever I want, too.”

Naomi laughed quietly. “Now you’ll bring me dinner. Don’t worry. It won’t be anybody close to you the first time. I want this more like a practice run.”

Cordelia couldn’t move. And Naomi was right. Cordelia had felt compelled to leave Xander and come out here, going from one of the best moments in her life to one of the worst. And now Cordelia was supposed to go back into the Bronze and come out with someone for Naomi to kill?

She wouldn’t do it. She couldn’t do it!

Cordelia had to think of a way out of this. Only questions came to mind. How could she stop Naomi—how could she stop doing things for Naomi—when most of the time she couldn’t even remember the vampire was here?

Cordelia was becoming very afraid.

She felt the vampire’s cold whisper in her ear:

“Now Cordelia! Do it now!”

Cordelia blinked. Here she was again, out in the alley behind the Bronze. Boy, she must really like it out here. The fresh air, maybe? The privacy—a place to get away from the crowds? Or maybe close, personal contact with all this garbage?

Cordelia wrinkled her nose. She didn’t think so.

Why would she want to get away from Xander?

But she couldn’t think of Xander just now.

There was something she had to do inside the Bronze.
