As the elevator doors popped open Anna walked swiftly down the hall Remus followed wanting his questions answered. She stopped at a desk and said "Anna Michaels, I have a twelve thirty appointment with Lilah Morgan."
The secretary got on the phone and said a few words to the person on the other end. She hung up and said "Ms. Morgan will see you now."
"Thanks," Anna said and went through the office behind the desk. Remus following her every step.
Remus saw an attractive woman in her early thirties behind a large desk when she saw Anna she immediately stood up and had a welcoming smile on her face "Anna how nice to see you again, I'm so sorry about what happened to your master,'" she said.
'Thank you," said Anna. "Now you know why I'm here right?"
"Yes according to your master's will upon your completion of rehabilitation, you stand to inherit everything."
"Everything? I didn't know he left me everything, I thought he left me enough to be comfortable."
"He left explicit instructions that you were to receive his entire estate, which includes not only his money and homes, but also his corporation and his stock in Wolfram & Hart. Oh who's this?" Lilah asked finally noticing Remus.
"A new associate and before you ask no I'm not sleeping with him,"
"Okay," said Lilah in a tone that sounded as if she didn't believe Anna
"Look just have my affairs sent to the London branch of Wolfram & Hart, I'll deal with it there."
"Fine," said Lilah. "I have other matters to attend to."
"Oh how is the Angel project coming along?" Anna asked with interest. "I know it's been difficult since Lindsay left."
"I've been doing just fine on my own," Lilah said curtly.
"It's been a pleasure doing business with you Lilah, I hope you get Angel," with that Anna and Remus left.
Once they were outside and vack in the car Remus couldn't contain himself anymore, "I want answers," he demanded
"You'll get them later," Anna said annoyed. "Besides what gives you the right to demand things from me?"
Remus bit his tongue; he didn't want to say that because he was her godfather he was now her guardian. He wanted to wait for Dumbledore to explain things to her, "I just want to know what's going on."
"Look I've got to make a few more stops, then we can go to Hogwarts ok?" She the turned to the driver and said "Caritas."
Remus looked at Anna and saw for the first time that she looked older than sixteen; she looked more like she was in her early twenties, from what little time he spent with her
He found her to be a hard person.
A few minutes later Anna started to take off her jacket to reveal the black tank top underneath. She pulled a leopard print skirt from a bag that he didn't just noticed then said rather blasé, "unless you want to watch turn your head."' Remus blushed and turned his head." The car stopped and Anna stepped out and Remus followed he noticed that they were at what looked like a club; Anna turned to him and asked "are you coming?"
Remus got out the car and followed Anna who before entering undid her hair letting the dark length hang free. A they entered the club Remus again noticed an almost magical feeling in the air; he didn't think that anyone was there until he then heard a voice say "we're closed."
"Krevlorneswath of the Deathwok Clan get your cute green ass out here now!" Anna shouted.
Just then a tall green skinned demon with short horns came out without stretched arms, "Anna how nice to see you again. I heard what happened, I'm so sorry."
She went up to him and he wrapped his arms around her. "Lorne I miss him," she cried. Anna had tears running down her cheeks, her makeup was ruined.
"That's it sweetheart let it out, I know it hurts, you two were together for a long time" After a few minutes of sobbing Anna calmed own and stopped, "do you want a drink?" Lorne asked. Anna nodded and the demon Lorne went behind the bar and poured a thick liquid from a strange bottle into a shot glass. He handed it to Anna who drank it down in a single gulp. Lorne shivered "I don't know how you can drink that stuff; you're my only human customer who orders it."
"It's an acquired taste," Anna replied. "Look now that my master is gone I feel out of place. I need you to read me, let me know what's in store."
"Ok sugarplum hop on stage and start singing." As Anna walked to the stage Lorne turned to Remus and said "I'm Lorne by the way."
"You're a demon." Remus stated
"Yeah thanks for pointing out the obvious, say what are you doing with Anna anyways?"
"I just want to help her that's all."
"Believe me pal Anna can take care of herself. She's a survivor, but her master did a little over a month ago and that wound is gonna take long time to heal."
"Who was her master? I keep hearing people mention it and I want to know what's going on."
Just then the music started and Anna began to sing
Love is tragic
Love is bold
You will always
Do what you are told
Love is hard
Love is strong
You will never say that you were wrong
I don't know when I got bitter
Love is surely better when it's gone
'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
Love is color
Love is loud
Love is never saying you're too proud
Love is trusting
Love is honest
Love is not a hand that holds you down
I don't know when I got bitter
Love is surely better when it's gone
'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
I got to pick me up when I am down
I got to get my feet back on the ground
I got to pick me up when I am down
I don't know when I got bitter
Love is surely better when it's gone
'Cause you wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
You wanted more
More than I could bear
More than I could offer
For a love that isn't there
You wanted more
More than I could love
More than I could offer
The harder you would shove
You wanted more
More than I could give
More than I could handle
In a life that I can't live
The song ended and Lorne said "Sugarplum that was good I see we've been practicing,"
"Yeah there wasn't much to do at rehab."
"Look," said Lorne. "You have a choice now, you can either go dark or light. Right now your in the gray area. If you go with him right now," gesturing to Remus. "You'll get answers to questions you didn't think you had."
"Thanks Lorne for that cryptic piece of advice," Anna said with a smile.
"Anytime Sugar, anytime."
They left Caritas and they arrived to a palatial estate. Anna called it home and told Remus to wait in the car and half an hour later she came back carrying a large bag. "Alright," Anna said. "I'm ready to go."
Ok the song lyrics are from Tonic, the song is You Wanted More.
