Riding along with The Spooks, as they called themselves, was full of fun and almost made me forget my plight. We got a flat once before we hit Paris. In Paris, I stayed in the hotel room instead of going out with them to explore. They had money and I didn't. Even after I was offered to be payed for, I refuses. I went out and begged for money for food and as much as I could to pay for the ferry fee to cross over the ocean to England.
Two days we stayed in Paris. I was almost lulled into staying with them. They begged me to stay. Andrew in particular was adamant. He flirted with me. I tried not to take him too seriously. I was in danger and he could be too possibly if I was found by my captors. I had to leave them when we reached England and try to find The Order. My clues were few and it would occupy my time.
After yet another flat, we finally made it to the ferry crossing after 4 days. We slept in the van until we made it to land. I didn't even wake up and slept all the way to London. I parted ways in tears when they reached their hotel, leaving them and heading to the only area I knew of that housed wizards; Kensington.
In Kensington, apparently there were secret signs on how to find the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. You just had to know what they were. I didn't have a clue what they were though and I was worried it would take days to figure them out.
Arriving in Kensington, I spent the day walking around and looking and begging money for food. When night fell, I found an empty, safe looking place to fall asleep. Only the first light of the day woke me up to birds chirping and a slight mist everywhere, even on my chilled skin. If I did this again, I was going to need a jacket.
It was another day of searching. I found nothing that sparked my memory or anything that could seem to lead to anywhere. There were no wizard looking types out and about either. I was getting worried that I was in the wrong place until the sun was almost down and I finally noticed it; arrows.
The arrows pointed North. I went North. I found more arrows which pointed more north. Finally I reached a pair that pointed east. I finally followed the path to Poplar, to an old abandoned Office Building. It had all the signs of being old, torn up, and graffiti everywhere. It had a giant X on the door though which led me to believe this was it.
The door was jammed. I couldn't get it open until someone pulled on the other side and I fell into the room, not expecting anything. I looked up into the eyes of a redhead and a blond and relief wasn't what I felt when I noticed their menacing glares.
