The Bare Necessaties

Chapter Nine: .·:*¨༺Newcomer༻¨*:·.

       After finding everyone, I rushed through the bar, keeping everyone in front of me. "Atticus, get Alaina, she should still be at the front." They all went through the front doors and as I passed by Azrael, he stopped me. Getting up from his seat, he whispered in my ear, "An hour. I'll be there in an hour." I pushed him off me and ran out the bar, catching up with my friends.

       "What took you so long? Alaina is super drunk." Atticus said as she lifted up Alaina's limp hand. "I was trying to see if I lost anything. Let's just go." 

       Atticus and I dragged Alaina to the hotel room, her limp body making us almost fall. When we finally made it up, Alaina shot up and ran to the bathroom, puking her guts out. Everyone else settled on their beds, not talking, not moving, just laying there looking up at the ceiling. "Why are you guys so....quiet?"

       After 5 minutes, no one answered my question. I looked around the room to find them still in a daze. "Hello! Why is everyone quiet?!" I raised my voice which caused them to raise their heads. Winona was the first to answer, "I can't answer for everyone but...I was talking to the cutest guy. He was just so...." She sighed and fell down back on the bed. "Me too." Everyone else started to say.

       There is no way they all met someone at the same time. "You have got to be kidding me."

       knock......knock....knock

       "I'll answer it, you guys just...stay put." I looked around, and it didn't seem like they were paying any attention to what was happening around them. Walking to the door, I quickly opened it and stepped into the hallway, closing the door behind me. Azrael was standing there, arms crossed, smiling. "I see you actually came." I looked at him and gave an awkward half smile. "Yeah, I told you i would. Uh, I can't come in. I want to talk to everyone."

       I rolled my eyes and chuckled, "You know they're going to kill you right? Suit yourself, I won't care." I opened the door and let him in. As he passed by me he laughed, "Oh yes you would."

       ".....Didn't you try to kill me? Right this is the same guy?" Cosette asked as she pointed to Azrael. "You know now that I can actually see straight, It is the same guy." Alaina said, burping in the process. I sighed as i leaned all the way back on my bed, sinking my head into the pillow. I slid my hands down my face hard, sighing. Why did I let him in the room?

       "Uh- no. I didn't try to kill you, actually. But that was the past." "That was literally like 5 hours ago." "THE PAST! Like I said. Anyways. Yeah. I want to help you guys, please let me."

        Looks were passed around the room and small whispers were heard. I looked at Azrael as he looked back at me shrugging. "Alright. We have come to a desicion on behalf of Cosette." Kamaria announced. "We'll let you tag along. One rule though, Don't get close to Artemis....at all." Cosette warned.

       This caused me to shoot up from the bed. "What? Why can't he?"

       Cosette looked at me and raised her eyebrows, forming her mouth into a straight line. This was an answer enough. "Alrighty then. That concludes your stay, Bye Azrael. We're tired and I'm going to bed."

       "But-" Azreal came close to my bed causing Alaina to pull out her sword and point it towards him. "Bye Azrael." Alaina said. He then sighed and walked off. Finally, we can take a nice rest. Tomorrow awaits.
