The Next Morning/Afternoon *AN: you'll understand why I put 'Afternoon' if u read down a couple of sentences*

I awoke when i heard birds chirping outside the window. Sunlight hid behind the thick purple curtains. I knew that Angel must be asleep because it was day. I got slowly out of bed and walked out onto the second story balcony. Cordelia and Wesley were below me, talking at the counter. I couldn't quite make out what they were saying but I know I distinctly heard the words, 'Prophecy' and 'Draconian'. Did they know that Mother and I were Draconians? And what was that part about a prophecy? Did they mean that prophecy about....me? How i was the "Light In a World Of Darkness"? I knew that prophecy. It echoes in my mind every single day. I shook my head and walked downstairs. They didn't notice me until I was halfway down the stairs. "Good morning Andrika. Did you sleep well?" Wesley asked me, being sincere. I yawned and nodded. "Would you like some breakfast?" Cordelia asked. "Sure. What is there?" I responded. Cordelia walked to the pantry and started looking through. "Lets see....there's Cocoa Puffs.....Cinnamon Toast Crunch.....All sorts of stuff.....Amazing how Angel has so much food but he never eats it....how weird..." She said as she pulled various cereals out of the pantry. I laughed. "I think i'll have Cinnamon Toast Crunch." I said cheerfully. While Cordelia was getting it ready I glanced at the clock. It was 4 in the afternoon!! "Jeez I slept REALLY late...." I muttered. Wesley overheard me. "We let you sleep because Angel wouldn't be up and you wouldn't have anything to do." I nodded and began to eat. "So when IS Angel going to get up?" I asked, curious. Wesley and Cordelia looked at each other. "When he feels like it." They said at the same time. "Figures..." I muttered. Angel had been like that back home. Got up whenever he felt like it. It was extremely ridiculous. I heard movement upstairs and I knew it wasn't Angel. 1) it was still daylight and 2) it sounded like someone was trashing a room and as far as I knew Angel wouldn't trash his own home. "Do you guys hear that?" I whispered to them. They nodded. I got up from my chair but Cordelia grabbed my arm. "Be careful. It might be the goons from Wolfram and Hart." I nodded and she let go. I walked slowly upstairs. I walked slowly and soundlessy to where the sound was coming from. It was coming from the room I had stayed in. As I got closer I heard two people talking quietly. "It has to be here somewhere!! The Draconians always have a special amulet......" It sounded like a man's voice. "Keep looking!!" The other man whispered anxiously. Then silence. I clutched my special coin. It had the family crest on one side and the picture of a Draconian with it's wings out on the other side. I suddenly realized this was what they wanted......they thought this was the source of my power....but they didn't realize the consequences if they did happen to kill me and get it....or maybe...maybe they did. I shook my head, ignoring the thought. I slowly opened the door. There was no one there. I looked at the window and saw that it was busted. The 2 guys must have gotten in and out this way. I heard someone behind me yawn. I turned around and saw Angel, who looked REALLY sleepy. I realized that he probably didn't get enough sleep. "Andrika, what was that noi-....... What the hell happened to the window?!?!?" I sighed. This was going to take a while.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Angel half listened as Andrika explained about the broken window. He noticed that she kept on clutching something around her neck. Then he realized what it was. It was the coin that Mother had given her for her 14th birthday. "They were after the coin weren't they?" He asked her, cutting her off in mid-sentence. Andrika gaped. "H-How did you know?" She asked, surprised. She hadn't even told him about what the 2 guys were talking about!! "I knew because mom mentioned to me once how special that coin is to this family and how if somebody evil happened to get it that something bad would happen to you." Then it hit her. The prophecy. But Angel didn't know about that, she was sure. Wolfram and Hart knew about the coin and the propechy. They had obviously put it together. She stared at Angel. He was the only one standing between Wolfram and Hart and her.
