Chapter 5
""Well" Gun let out a sigh, "you've got some story here kid"
She glared at him, a look that could kill and for a moment Angel shivered looking at her eyes.
"I am not a kid"
Willow smiled, remembering Dawn. "O.k., you guys, you are not kid, and obvious you are young women. Do you have anywhere to stay?"
The girl indicated 'no' with her head.
"You can stay with me!" Angel burst in.
They all looked at him.
"What? I have plenty of room at my penthouse. If you don't mind."
"I don't have anywhere else to go so sure, why not."
Two hours later Maya was sleeping at one of Angel's guest rooms while he went downstairs to his office and made a few calls.
He asked Willow to hack to the hospital computer and see if they found out anything about Maya.
An hour later she returned with the news. Willow told him that she found something about Maya, she called the hospital, pretending to be looking for her and their description fit well with what Willow knew.
"You won't like it." She warned.
"Tell me".
There was a brief sighed on the other side.
"She was involved in a serious car accident, near death. When they found her she was almost…dead."
"So far it make sense"
"The accident happened last night Angel."
If he were breathing he would have stopped, right on the spot.
"Angel? Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"
"What are you thinking?" he wouldn't dare say it.
"How did she heal so fast?"
There was this silent again.
"Thanks Will. I will talk to you later, and Willow, don't say a thing to the others until we'll get some answers".
"Yes, sure".
They both hang up and Angel called Lorne over.
"Angelcakes, it's the middle of the night" the green demon looked angry and tired.
"It's important Lorne." He told him what Willow discovered.
"I need to know what followed her," Angel explained to Lorne.
"What are you suggesting?" He set on Angel's chair, his hand tucked under his chine.
Angel set on his desk, "Can you read her if she's not singing?"
"I…I don't know, I get feelings and stuff but nothing is clear as singing. Why won't you ask her to sing? Surely she'll want to know who she is?"
"But what if she already knows who she is and she's afraid we'll know her? What if she is after some innocent and we'll help her?"
Lorne sighed, his head about to explode.
"Look, I can try. Is she sleeping?"
"Yes, at one of my guest rooms."
"Let's go".
Lorne set next to her very quit, trying to sense something.
"Miss Edith…" she suddenly whispered.
They both froze, Lorne because she startled him and Angel…
"Drusilla" he called.
Maya opened her eyes, staring at both of them.
"What's going on?" she demanded.
"Why don't you tell us?" Angel folded his hands, indicating for her that no matter what she is, she will not escape.
She set on the bed, putting the pillow behind her back for support.
"What are you talking about?" she asked more calmly.
Angel set next to her, he wanted to believe her, and he wanted her to be the innocent she presumed to be.
"Why didn't you tell us that your accident happen last night?"
The shock and fear in her face reviled Angel his own fear, She knew exactly what he was telling her.
Being the smart girl she felt like, she didn't deny it.
"I am sorry for lying to all of you but I was afraid. I really don't know who I am, everything I said was the truth but the accident happened last night. I don't know how I healed so fast, no scar, no nothing, like it never happened."
A single tear found her way down her tanned face.
Angel wept the tear, caressing her hair. "It's o.k., listen, Lorne here can read minds, if you sing to him he might know something about you. Is that o.k. with you?"
She looked into his chocolate brown eyes, her own eyes filled with tears.
"But what if we'll find out I'm bad?"
Angel smiled at her, holding her hand, "when I look into your eyes I see a girl I once loved deeply, I know that you can't be bad."
She node her head and gave him a faint smile. "What should I sing?" she turned to Lorne, her heart biting fast.
"Relax, kiddo and you can sing whatever you want."
Angel reassured her with his smile.
Oh Mandy
Well you came and you gave without taking
But I sent you away ho Mandy
Angel burst into fits of laughs, seeing the insulted face of Maya he explained, "That was the same song that I had to sing and you should have seen me. He started telling her and they both laughed.
When they relaxed again Angel turned to Lorne, the latest was pale as a green skin can be and he looked…shocked. Angel knew that look, something was very wrong.
"Well Maya, I'll let you sleep. It takes a while till Lorne can translate the thoughts so we'll talk tomorrow". He lied to her, hoping she won't know that.
She smiled and covered herself.
Angel closed her door.
"What's wrong?" he demanded.
"You wouldn't like that, well… like is not the right word maybe deny it."
"Lorne" Angel was loosing his patient.
"Not here" Lorne said. They went back to Angel's office.
"Well?
