It hadn't taken the two of you long to get ready early and head to the con in your rotund little knock off car, parking around the corner and heading in. Amelia was bouncing ever so slightly you noticed and suddenly you were quite glad you'd gotten most of that energy out of your system. You were still buzzing of course, especially as you entered into that main hall and saw the hundreds of people massing around each stage and section, the miles of merchandise from so many fandoms and of course the glimmering sign of room 7A faintly in the distance. Your felt a glorious spark of excitement in your very inner being and a your smile grew even wider.
You blinked out of your daydream to discover quickly that Amelia, the fool, had disappeared into the crowd already and you started to get a tad nervous. Crowds were one thing but being alone in a crowd was another thing entirely. You started weaving your way through the bustling mass of people toward where you thought the teen wolf panel was but as more and more people started pressing in on you all around you started finding it hard to breathe. You heart raced and chest heaved as you pushed through the crowd into a clearing. You were at the edge, right next to the teen wolf cast's prep area. A couple of the actors looked up with a chuckle before going back to their own thing. A security guard came over. "Hey you can't be here...you alright?"
His halted his reproach when he noticed how dishevelled you had become. "I'm sorry. Just the crowds." You nudged at the mass of people behind you and grimaced slightly. A rib on your left side now throbbed achingly.
"Well here, sit down for a second here and then you'll have to head back okay?" The guard smiled reassuringly and you felt glad there were some decent people like him around. He pulled up a seat and got you some water and you started to feel more like yourself. The cast watched curiously from afar.
"There you are!" Amelia had stumbled past the boundaries and grabbed my shoulder before the nice guard stepped in. "You are not supposed to be back here, I'm going to have to ask you both to leave now if you're feeling better." He motioned at me for the last part.
it was then that Amelia realised where she was, her eyes widening and face turning a dark shade of red. You laughed under your breathe. You nodded, "Yeah thank you so much for helping me out there. It was just getting to be too much for me."
Amelia, you saw when you turned back, was caught up in a conversation with one of the cast members of teen wolf and giggled quietly. The guard shrugged and muttered. "What do they even pay me for when the bloody actors practically invite you all in here..." Before heading away.
"What about the supernatural panel, Ame?" She barely noticed and waved you off. "Just... Just go I'll meet you there." She was back to giggling with the actor again.
You sighed and headed back out around to the crowd. Room 7AM was close at least, You could see the glow nearby above the heads of people as the ran past.
Well then, second time lucky you thought as you started making your way through the crowd again with much more ease. It took a minute but eventually you were there with your hand on the handle to room 7A , bracing yourself as you opened the door.
The room was ...empty? But it was already ten to three... Where was everyone? You wandered further in, hearing nothing but a faint murmur, a buzz of talking and distant laughter. You ran a hand over the stage fondly. You always wanted to attend a convention like this but a part of you wished it was as an actor answering the questions of fans not as a fan itself, though this was just as enjoyable.
Suddenly there was a hand on your shoulder and your stomach flew to your throat, blocking the squeal of surprise that would have emerged. "The stage isn't a cat you know, you don't need to pat it." You turned around with a start to face a white toothed grin.
The grin faltered ever so slightly "Whoops. Did I scare you?" You looked up into the bright blue eyes of Misha Collins.
