A/N Hope you liked that bit at the end of the last chapter. ^_^ REVIEW!
The movie soon ended, causing Alice to become a little upset. Brandon, who was sitting next to her, has long since fallen asleep. 'Oh, well.' She thought, and soon found herself drifting into sweet unconsciousness.
The flight soon landed in Liverpool, the landing waking Brandon up. He was groggy for a second, not knowing where he was, but soon snapped to attention. "Hey, Alice. Get up." he said, gently shaking her to wake her.
"Are we there, yet...?" Alice asked groggily.
"Yea, we're here, actually." he said, still shaking off some of his sleepiness.
"Oh, OK." She said. "Lady's first." She told Brandon, waiting for him to get up.
"Ok, you first then." he said, leaning back in his seat.
"...Actually, I was talkin' about you..."
"Opps, sorry. Im still tired i guess..." he said, rubbing his eye.
Alice shook her head and face-palmed. "...I hope you realise I just called you a girl."
"What? Oh, wow..." he said, face-palming.
"...And you're not even offended?" Alice giggled.
"I'm too tired right now to think straight." he said yawning. "And yes, i do take offense to that." he added. Alice then proceded to grab the arm of the half-asleep Brandon Pazzo and began to rush out of the plane. "Hm? Oh duh, we have to get off..." he said. They then left the plane and walked into the terminal. Brandon quickly spotted a Starbucks and made a b-line towards it.
Alice sighed, but followed him into Starbucks. "..We're paying this time, Brandon."
"I know. I just need coffee." he said, walking briskly to the counter.
"Get me an Iced Coffee. " She said to Brandon.
"Alright." he said, and walked up to the counter.
"I'll have one medium black coffee and a medium iced coffe with milk and sugar." he said to the cashier.
The cashier rang up the order, and stated the price.
"That will be $7." he said, looking back up.
"Here ." Brandon said, handing the cashier the money.
"Thank you and have a nice day." the cashier said, and Brandon walked away.
"Here you go, one iced coffee." he said, handing Alice her coffee. Alice took the iced coffee and drank it. She loved iced coffee.
Brandon quickly chugged his, only stopping to breathe after it was completely gone. "Ah, much better!" he said, the caffeine giving him energy.
Alice drank only half of her coffee. She looked at her Meister with confusion. "You drank it all that fast...?"
"I chug very fast when required." he said, crushing the foam cup it came in.
"I see." Alice said and finished her drink.
"Well, we should probably get our stuff and rent a hotel room." Brandon said, starting to walk towards baggage claim. Alice followed him. They quickly found there bags and called a taxi.
"Bring us to the Posh Pads in the city center." he told the driver.
Alice started giggling. "...What kind of name is 'Posh Pads'?" She cackled.
"Hey, it was the first 5 star hotel that came up. Ask the owner of it, not me." he said, shrugging. Alice's laughing only increased.
They quickly arrived, only stopping to have to pay the driver. "Alice, please." he asked, turning to look at her.
Alice hypnotised the man. "We payed..."She repeated the mantra for about a minute before stepping back and snapping her fingers. The Taxi driver drove off, and the duo were left in front of the Hotel.
Brandon quickly walked up to the clerk and requested a Presidential Penthouse suite"
"That is €590 a night per person." the cashier said, checking her computer.
"Ok, then we would like a week for two people." Brandon said, stepping aside so Alice could 'book' the rooms.
Alice walked up to her and did something surpising. She reached into her pocket, pulled out a single gold coin and placed it on the counter. "That should cover the cost for our stay here, right?" Alice asked. The woman gaped at the coin.
"...I-I guess so... Stay as long as you like." She said, still staring at the peice of gold Alice had given to her.
"What was that?" Brandon asked curiously as they went to drop their belongings at their new appartment.
"That woman... something isn't right about her. Her soul was weird, almost as if she were a witch." Alice said, deep in thought. "If she were, she wouldn't be effected by hypnotism. Then she would know we were trying to steal from her."
"Then it's a shame we couldn't kill her." Brandon said, somewhat disappointed.
"...She looked a bit like the Clockwork Witch. She's harmless when she isn't surrounded by dolls and puppets." Alice said.
"So, Clockwork Witches are like puppet masters then?" he asked, guessing at how they use their powers.
"Yes. Lumini Clockworker, The Clockwork Witch, can also turn people into puppets. It drains her of all energy, though. So she doesn't use it much." Alice said.
"Ok then." Brandon said as they reached their new apartment. He opened the door, and the luxuries of the penthouse were extensive. "Wow." he said, gapping at the luxury.
Alice felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by so much luxurious stuff. She also felt the need to point out that there was only one bed.
"Wait, there's only one bed though." Brandon said, reaching the bedroom.
Alice sighed, shaking her head. "...Of course..."
"No problem. I'll just sleep on the couch." Brandon said jumping on the cough into a lying position.
"Thank god there's a couch. Because of it, we just avoided a terribly awkward moment." Alice said gratefully.
"God, I forgot how comfortable couches were." he said, stretching out. Alice layed on the bed and seemed to have immediately fell asleep. Brandon couldn't sleep, however, considering he chugged straight coffe only an hour or two ago. "Goddamit." he said, straightening himself back up on the couch and turned the tv on.
Then Alice, who wasn't really asleep, strolled in and hid behind the couch while Brandon was too busy channel-surfing to notice. "Man, there's never anything good on during late night hours..." he said to himself. Alice made a deep-throated snarling sound to scare Brandon. "What the fuck?" he yelled, jumping off the couch, claws made of the insanity material forming onto his hands.
Alice then jumped from behind the couch and tackled Brandon before he could react. "Pretty realistic, huh? That's what a Wendigo sounds like."
He struggled under her grasp, but gave up. "Thanks for the warning, but could you get off of me now?" he asked, removing his claws.
Alice laughed and got off of Brandon. "Another warning; a Wendigo can hear a human heartbeat from a mile away."
"Well, I can't do anything about that, now can I?" he asked, standing up.
Alice chuckled. "That's why Spartoi members and Deathscythes are usually the only ones who go after Wendigos."
"I was part of Spartoi back in my dimension." Brandon said, thinking back.
"Heh, did you get see the Lord of Death everyday?" Alice asked.
"Mostly. Not everyday though." he said, thinking back.
"I did. I lived with him." Alice boasted. "As you should remember, the Lord Death of my world is Kidd." She paused. "...His mansion is HUGE!"
"I bet. His dad does run the city, so I bet he makes a pretty penny." he said.
"He's a master at bribery." Alice chuckled.
"We should probably get some sleep if we want any chance of killing the wendigo." Brandon said, lying down on the couch.
"Yeah, we should." Alice said, walking into the bedroom and falling asleep.
