Zosha rarely felt any true fear… but this was damn strange to her.
Running in between the raindrops, she stood under the awning of the nearby hotel as onlookers were drawn to her crashed UFO.
"Well, fuck." The Zorolian muttered, disappearing into the hotel and towards the elevators as she followed distant thought trails.
'Hopefully, we can patch things up… I really don't want to lose my little sis.'
'It's always raining whenever we show up here… maybe I should take up on his suggestion and go to Dublin with him.'
She had no idea where she was… but she knew she wasn't anywhere she had been to before. Walking further down the hallway, she got onto the elevator when the doors opened… and immediately, Seth looked at her.
"You're soaked! How long were you out there?" Seth says, crouching down to help Zosha pull her hoodie off but she stopped him. "Hey, you'll catch a cold if you keep that on!" He says… before jumping back in fright when he saw Zosha's red and black eyes after the doors closed.
"I have a… a skin defect, it's better not to take it off." Zosha says.
"Okay… you just… frightened me." Seth says, trying to remember what floor the room was on. "Ah, here we go." He says, pressing the 10th floor button. "She likes being high above the city… my friend." He says after Zosha looked at him.
"Clearly. I used to live in quite a tall building… 67th floor." Zosha says.
"Damn." Seth says with a slight smirk, the doors opening and both exiting the elevator. They stopped at room 1052 and Seth knocked on the door, Zosha listening closely.
'Of fucking course, he's never gonna stop driving me mad over this!' Amanda thought.
"I can hear your little feet shuffling around in the room, Mandy! Open up, we need to talk." Seth says, the door cracking open but the chain was still on it and Seth and Zosha only saw a flash of an oversized shirt and Amanda's hazel eyes.
"Um… hello." Amanda says as she noticed Zosha.
"Open the door completely, Amanda." Seth says.
"Yeah, as soon as you shove off, Seth!" Amanda says, Zosha tightly gripping Seth's right arm as he tried to force the door open.
"Why are you…" Seth tries to ask as Zosha dragged him a few feet away, the room door closing. "Why'd you drag me from there? I just wanted to talk to her, we've been stressed and fighting lately!" He says.
"Because of her boyfriend." Zosha says, Seth taken aback that Zosha knew that.
"How the hell did you know that?!" Seth asks.
"Well, you think the audience doesn't pick up on stuff?" Zosha asks.
"I know they do, I just… was a bit startled with how you said it and I swore I saw a red mark that wrapped around her left wrist. If he did tie her down, I'm-" Seth says, Zosha swatting him and Seth screaming and rubbing his left hip. "Damn it!" He yelled.
"Rollins, go back to sleep!" Sami shouted from his room, Zosha heading back to Amanda's room and knocking on the door.
"That does it! Gonna beat him like a redheaded stepchild!" Amanda growled, heading towards the door but Finn stopped her.
"It's not him out there, love." Finn says, unlocking the door and opening it, Zosha walking in and closing the door behind her… before seeing the disheveled state of the room.
"Obvious what happened here." Zosha says.
"And exactly why Seth is treating me like a teenager." Amanda says, Zosha noticing that Amanda looked more like she was 17 than 26.
"In all fairness, you do look younger than you are." Zosha says, all three jumping slightly when thunder echoed loudly.
"So… who are you and where exactly are you from?" Finn asks, rubbing his hand up and down Amanda's back to soothe her trembling body.
"Name's Zosha… and I'm not a native here." Zosha says.
"The natives here are probably going cabin fever crazy in this weather, it's been pouring non-stop for the past three days." Amanda says, Zosha growling at the door when Seth banged his fist against it again.
"Grrr, yourself! Now open up before I bust this door down!" Seth says.
Pulling one of his other shirts on, Finn walked over and unlocked the door, opening it… and Seth turning angrier.
"You need to calm down, there are people still trying to sleep." Finn says.
"Forgot how angry people can get." Zosha says.
"You should've seen what happened last month at Summerslam." Amanda says, Zosha listening closer and flinching as in her mind, she saw Seth shove Amanda down and Amanda's right knee collide with the barricade.
"That was an accident!" Seth says defensively.
"That was you taking your anger out on her!" Finn says.
"She put herself in harm's way to try to protect-" Seth starts to shout, Zosha jumping back when all three saw Roman knock Seth down. "Fucking hell, Roman! What the fuck?!" He yells.
"That was for waking me up when it's not even 7 in the damn morning..." Roman says, trailing off when he saw Zosha, who was nearly a foot shorter than his daughter Joelle. "Hi. Are you lost?" He says.
"Sort of… your friend's a bit crazy." Zosha says, Roman seeing Amanda trying to hide the marks on her wrists from him.
"That's putting it mildly whenever she gets close to someone outside of our travelling group. No offense, Finn." Roman says.
"None taken." Finn says, him and Amanda kissing.
With Roman's help, Zosha dragged Seth out into the hallway and the door closed again.
"I'm a bit crazy?! How, by trying to keep her from getting her heart broken again?!" Seth asks.
"In life, you've gotta take those chances… and she seemed rather happy before you tried to barge in on them!" Roman says as a half asleep Dean walked over to them.
"Doesn't anyone sleep til a decent hour anymore?" Dean mumbles, crouching down to Zosha. "Can you explain why he's going crazy this morning?" He asks.
"Roughness with the couple he despises." Zosha says.
"He loves Mandy like a little sister, he's just going a bit crazy because he feels blindsided by her and Finn being together." Roman says.
"Why aren't you two trying to make sense of this?!" Seth growled.
"Because we're not angry at her or him." Dean says, Zosha heading towards the soda machine and seeing Sami drinking a Monster energy drink.
"Lack of sleep?" Zosha asks, Sami nodding.
"And I need something stronger than coffee. Is he missing any teeth, did she haul off and hit him?" Sami says.
"No… but any more of this, she and her boyfriend will take off to Ireland." Zosha says.
"The fuck?! Did Mandy tell you that?!" Seth yelled after hearing her, storming over to Zosha, who Sami tried to protect out of instinct but Zosha stopped him.
"She didn't have to…" Zosha says before lowering her voice. "I'm part telepathic, I heard your thoughts as well." She whispers, Seth looking at her in disbelief.
"I'm losing my mind." Seth mutters, Zosha nudging him. "You're… not exactly human, are you?" He asks.
"Not quite, no." Zosha says.
"Do I even want to know the rest?" Seth asks, Zosha giving him a look that said "Wait til you're calmed down."
Sami rubbed his hands onto his face… this was gonna be a long day for him and everyone.
