Wanted for War

4.Noah

When we arrive at The MoonCrest Hotel, I can't help but feel a little bit disappointed, I imagined it bigger and, well, nicer, I guess it's my own fault for my mind conjuring something up that would always be fantasy, like a lot of things like- Jase storms out the car, slamming the door in his wake, what's his problem now? I sigh and get out the car, not smacking my car door this time and follow Jase. I don't understand, he seemed fine in care, for what I was awake of it at least. 

I open the door and am immediately taken by surprise, the interior seems a lot nicer than the outside, it has a nice layout with what seems like a section for a more pub-like theme and a restaurant. Realising I was standing just outside the door like a moron, I move and sort of jog sort of walk trying to be inconspicuous to get to Jase, who had already found a girl to chat up. I find myself irritated at that fact, I don't know why, probably because of the fact we're on a mission and we have time to spare. I pause, trying to make myself cool before making my way over to them.

"Hey," I greet the girl with a big smile on my face, trying to convince her and Jase that I wasn't irritated a few seconds ago.

"Hi," she replies, stinking out her hand for me to shake, I oblige, "I'm Brooke by the way," the siren? I think to myself, "the siren," she adds, like she read my thoughts, which she can't do, or as far I'm aware siren's can't read people's minds.

"You didn't know that that was the one I was telling you about, you could have told a human that or an enemy," Jase deadpans.

"Then I would have pretended to be drunk," Brooke says calmly considering Jase's behaviour is appalling right now, he looks like he's about to retort when I decide it best if I step in and stop Jase from making himself look like a dick.

"Let's get drinks and wait for Lily to possibly arrive, I'll ask her if she's coming or not," I interrupt, avoiding looking at either of their faces and head up to the bar, not caring if either of them are following me or not.

I get the attention of a bar tender and get their attention, which happens to be what looks like quite an old woman but I guess it's okay if she gets the order right and doesn't mess up I don't care.

"I'll have a-" 

"A lager," someone interrupts, Jase.

"I'll have a shandy please," Brooke says politely.

"And I'll have a RedBull please," she eyes us all suspiciously making think I forgot something, what though?

"I.D. please," she asks, oh, that's what I forgot, idiot, I yell at myself internally, I'm pretty sure we don't all have those on us.

"You don't need them," Jase says, trying to charm her (why, considering her age) to no avail, I don't know whether I should be glad or not.

"I do."

"No, you don't as we all drove but as we were all idiots we left our licences in the car, if you want we can go get them," I offer, hoping to persuade her to let us go, to my astonishment, she gets the drinks ready and we grab them and pay (I pay), next we grab a circular tables with the comfy seats, we all sit in the comfier area to await Lily, which reminds me I have to text her.

Me: Are u coming?

Lily: Yeah, in car park now

I look up and see Jase and Brooke looking at me expectantly.

"She'll be in a minute," I inform them, they nod and sit back into their seat, sipping there drinks.

After a few minutes, I spot Lily making her way over to us, drink in hand (it looks like appletiser) and sits down at one of the wooden chairs.
