Cordelia felt a familiar woozy feeling come over her. It was the same one she got when she tired herself out. Usually, she could ignore the strong dizzy spells, but today was different. At the moment, she and Angel were down in the basement training. Just as Angel came at her with a kick, one that he expected her to block, she stopped what she was doing and dropped her defense mode. Angel kicked her on the side of her leg, just above her knee. Cordelia ignored the pain that she felt and tried to stop her dizzy spell.
"Cordelia what is the matter with you?", Angel asked, near yelling.
Cordelia's hands, which had been placed on her knees as she tried to catch her breath, flew to her head. The dizziness was at it's worst and she couldn't stand it. She tried walking to the stairs, but lost her balance and fell. She felt Angel at her side in a heartbeat. He began cradling her in his arms and she felt that she owed him an explanation.
"Angel... I think I should tell you..."
Suddenly, her vision went black and she fell limp in Angel's arms as he screamed out her name.

Angel sat on the couch with Cordelia in his arms. He had managed to get her upstairs, but no one was home and he had no idea where to find anyone. He had tried Caritas and Wesley's cell but that was at the manor. He tried calling Gunn and continued to wait for someone to come home and blame it on him, which he was doing already. He heard the door open and a cheery "Hello" from someone who could only be Fred.
"Fred! Get in here quick!", he shouted. The tone in his voice scared Fred and she rushed towards him room immediately.
"Oh my god, what happened?" Fred rushed to her friend's side and knelt down as if she could heal her. She began stroking her hair and when the question wasn't answered fast enough, she asked it again. "My god, Angel! What happened?"
He shook his head slightly, keeping his eyes on Cordelia. "I do- I don't know… We were training and then she stopped suddenly. I thought it was because she was getting tired and then her hands flew to her head, she tried walking to the stairs but she fell and just before she... She tried to tell me something. She never got to finish it so don't ask what. She said ‘I think I should tell you’ and then nothing."
"Yo... what happened?", a voice from behind asked. Fred looked over her shoulder and then ran to him. Gunn accepted her hug and then repeated his question. "What happened?"
"Angel and her were training...!" she explained him everything.
Gunn let go of Fred and hovered around Cordelia as trying to give her strength.
“Hello everybody!” Lorne said walking down from the front door. “Whoa kiddies what’s the matter??”
“It’s Cordy” Angel said concerned. “It’s something you can do?” he asked hopefully.
“I don’t know… but I can always try” Lore said hovering his green hands centimeters away from Cordelia's temple. Suddenly, Cordelia wake up. She began to sit up as if everything was normal and was bombarded with questions of all sorts an sank back down.
"Who are all of you?", Cordelia asked. She seemed scared and when she realize that her head was on a man's lap, she sat up and sped to the other side of the couch. "What am I doing here?"
