Disclaimer: I don't own Angel, sadly I wished I did, but they belong to the rightful owner Mr. Whedon.
Chapter 9
"So let me get this straight, you guys are from Wolfham and Hart and you somehow know that I don't belong here?" I asked. There was no way in hell they would've known. Then again, they do have their ways.
"Quite possibly yes" Gavin said.
"Oh" I said. "But if you know my situation, why do you want to talk to Angel anyways?"
"That is none of your business, not to be rude or anything" Lilah said with such evil in her voice.
"Well then, if you want, you guys can come back whenever he gets back or you leave a message which I'll be happy to give him when he comes back" I said crossing my arms and raising my eyebrows.
"Fine, let him know that we stopped by" Gavin said as he and Lilah headed towards to doors and left the hotel.
Nicely done I thought to myself. I headed back towards the counter and sat there for awhile. Great now I'm bored out of my mind. I got up and walked in a circle around the lobby. Just thinking. Then my eye caught the stairs that lead to the next floor. Hmm, maybe a little exploring wont kill me. I mean I was already up there to try and find something to get me home but what can go wrong?
*************
I made my way up the second floor and down the hall. Damn, where to start? I looked down the hallway of all the doors that was lined up next to each other. Each of them have a number that was listed chronologically. Well, I guess I would start off in the first room.
I opened the first door that revealed an empty room. Nothing. I closed the door and went to the next one. Same thing. Nothing in it. No wonder they've kept this place abandoned.
I was in the other part of the hotel, mainly the abandoned part. Not the one that has the rooms for Fred and what not, well make that a room for me which is temporary. I seriously do not plan on staying here forever.
It wasn't until later, that I got to the next door and tried to open it. Uh, locked. Why thought? What could be in it that it was made to be locked. I was about to find out when I heard voices coming from downstairs. I took off running which turned into a jog. I saw when I was walking downstairs I saw Angel and everyone else.
"So, what happened?" I asked casually.
"What were you doing up there?" Angel asked.
"Nothing really, just looking around and by the way no offense, there's really nothing to do around here" I said.
"That's basically why it's our investigation headquarters" Wes mumbled as he walked into his office.
"The only way we have to find this demon or whatever it's called is to keep and eye out for Cordy and her visions" Fred noted.
"Gee thanks," Cordy said sarcastically as she made her way to one of the desks in the back.
"Oh and Gavin and that Lilah chick came by" I said.
"What did they want?" Angel asked angrily.
"Well, don't get mad at me, they wanted to talk to you and it wasn't any of my business, I was just passing the message along." with that said, I walked past them and went upstairs to my room.
**************
I was getting out of the bathroom, after I showered and got ready for bed. As I laid on the bed, I started to let my mind wonder. What ever was behind that door, could mean something. Maybe a way to get home? Anything really.
I sighed as I rolled over and looked out the window which showed the night skyline of Los Angeles. It was a pretty sight to see. I closed my eyes for a second, trying to forget about that stupid door.
***************
I woke up awhile later. I looked out to see it was still dark. I looked over at the clock which read 12:12a.m. That's it. Whatever reason why that stupid door is locked on the other side of the hotel, is bugging me and I want to know what is behind it.
I walked down the hallway slowly and quietly. If Angel was human and not a vampire, there was no way in hell would I deal with a very pissed off vampire. That would be hell freezing over for sure.
I looked down towards the lobby as I went down the stairs. No one was there. I looked around quick before I made a dash up the other flight of stairs. However, as I reached the last step, I tripped and fell which I landed with a soft but not loud thud. I held my breath as I waited for anything to come out of nowhere.
I got up and looked around before making my way down the hall. I took slow steps, making sure I wouldn't wake anyone up. It felt forever trying to get there but I wanted no, wait, dying to know what was in that room!
As I reached the door, I held out my hand so I could reached the knob. Maybe it's probably unlocked by now, who knows?
But as I put my hand on the knob, a voice scared me out of my skin.
"What are you doing up here?"
A/N: Finally this chapter is done. I think now I know where this story is going. Slowly, my inspiration is coming back which is a good thing. I've been meaning to finish this last night but my social life called me yet again.
I'm going to try and update this once a month at least, not a week like my other stories usually get. If I'm lucky maybe a few weeks to update it.
You can follow me on twitter. Yes I've gotten one of those unforutenely. I'm under xSpikeluver89 if you have a twitter account yourself.
Review, critize whichever.
