John Friggin Constantine

Chapter 5 - What the hell

A year ago

We arrived at an old house. It looked almost like a cabin. The door had two big chunky locks on it, like whoever shut it didn't want anyone getting in... Or maybe something from getting out? Wow I'm dramatic.
"Where are we?" I asked a little annoyed.
"Well love, we're at the whites house"
I looked at him blankly.
"It's basically a sorceress house. When a witch enters it enhances their power yatta yatta yatta... So maybe, just maybe it'll enhance yours " he said.
"Then why does it look like no one's used it in centuries?" I said.
He just gave me a look.
John walked towards the door, with me trailing behind. He said some weird ass spell and the locks just popped open. Damn this really be like Harry potter. Alohomora! Sorry I'm done. As we entered I felt a jolt of energy. I could tell by the look on John's face that he felt it to.
"Never gets old" he said with a small smile.
"What was that?" I asked confused.
"That was the houses power love"
"I feel so... Alive" I said excited.
"Well my theory was right then" he said sounding proud.
"What that I'm some witch? Because I can assure you that I'm not" I said brushing past him into the living room.

It had a big fire place with an old mirror above it. Black leathered sofas surrounding the fire with a TV in the corner. I turned to my side noticing the huge shelves of books and old artifacts on desks with a huge map spread out on the table. I bit my lip while thinking, a habit I've had since I was a kid. I was walking around fascinated until I bumped into a tall figure.
"I DON'T WANNA DIE!" I said jumping back.
There was a chuckle from the figure I had bumped into which turned out to be a tall kind looking man.
"Sage this is Chas. Chas this is Sage" John said introducing us.
"Nice to meet you" I said shaking Chas' hand. After a while of looking around the place I had become a bit tired and anxious. So what's the best way I can think of to help at this moment?
"Well um do you guys have a shower around here?" I asked walking towards a door reaching for the handle.
"Woah woah" John said running towards me pulling me backwards by my shoulders.
"Might wanna avoid that room, yeah?" he said.
"Why?"
He opened the door letting me look inside still holding me back. It was a long corridor that seemed like it went of forever.
"It changes. Every hour you could get lost down there for months" he said in a warning tone.
"Still haven't answered my question though" I said looking into his eyes...
For maybe a little to long.. he smirked at me and pointed towards another door.
"Thanks.." I said walking away.

John Constantine's POV:

"So what's with the new girl? Another one of your flings?" Chas said
"She's a psychic I think and no. The demons seem to be pretty interested in her so naturally, so am I" I said with a smirk holding my hands up.
"Just don't do anything stupid..okay?" Chas said in a warning tone.
"Me? Stupid? Never.." I said sarcastically and walked away.

Sage Payton's POV:

I walked out of the bathroom and everything seemed to be different..
The rooms had moved. There were different doors leading to different rooms. I was in a never ending hallway of doors!
"What the actual hell? I thought I wasn't in that hallway Constantine said not to go down.." I said walking down the hall. I started to run, My first mistake, to see if the hall would get any smaller but nope.
"Great, fan friggin tas- SHIT" I said falling to the ground. You know when you hurt yourself and you don't know if you should laugh or cry and you end up either
1. holding your breath
2. Making a weird noise
3. Rolling around
Or just all of the above.
Well this was my situation.
I literally tripped over air.. AIR

I heard laughing from the distance while rubbing my ass from falling. A woosh of wind hit me in the face and the same laughter from the other end of the hall.
"Boo"
"HOLY- OH MY GOD" I said way to loudly.
"YOU SCARED THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME!" I said slapping John's chest.
"You lost love?" He said in a playful tone.
"Nope, no just um finding my way out on the floor...."
He gave me a look.
"Rubbing my ass... Ok maybe I'm a tiny bit lost" I said using my fingers  to act out tiny.
He grabbed my hands hoisting me up.
"Ok I swear this has changed" I said as he lead me down the hall.
"It changes all the time love that's why you have to be careful"
"Well thanks for the heads up BEFORE I showered" I said emphasising the before.
"And I thought it was only that room/hallway thingy"
"This house surprises you" he replied. After a comfortable silence while walking down the neverending hall, I decided to ask a question.
"Sooo um do you fight demons a lot?" I asked.
He chuckled
"fight no send them back where they came from yes"  he said looking ahead.
As we reached the end of the hall I started to hear Whispers... I couldn't make out what they were saying but suddenly there was a high pitched scream. I tried not to make any expression on my face as my hands shot up to my head to rub it.
Weirdly that happens a lot. Weird noises, feelings, visions... Luckily Constantine didn't notice.

"Wheres Chas?" I asked
"He's gone back home." He paused while I looked at him for further information.
" He has a daughter."
"Ah" I said in understanding.
We just kinda looked at each other in an awkward silence. Ok this is getting weird say something anything or just look away yep looking away now.
"What's this for?" I said brushing my fingers across a map.
"It's shows you where demon attacks will take place" he said walking over to a table and pouring himself a drink.
"Want one?" He asked.
"Nah I'm good... back to this map thingy how does it work?" I asked.
"Well it's pretty simple love, black ink appears when there's about to be a demon attack"
And right on cue ink covered a spot a few blocks away from where we were.
"Well I guess this is gonna be your first time love"
