In The Now

I have been here a day and still nothing has been done. The rooms were finished before we arrived, thankfully, and each to fit the personalites of the young women living in them, however something just wasn't right. It is that feeling that one gets when you feel you left the oven on back home, that constant gnawing feeling like something is going unfinished.

As I surveyed the building though nothing seemed out of place and everything was in order so I had to push this feeling back and go back to the paperwork that had taken a life of its own on my desk. I had receipts to file and expenditure forms to sign. why is it I chose to this again? Ahh yes, it was because I knew that there was more to these girls than mere warriors and if I left it to the rest of the remaining watchers that is forever how they would be seen.

I just need to finish this work and perhaps escape this office...

My hotel is loud. I'm starting to regret doing renovations so that Lorne can have Caritas in the hotel. The whole thing is one big headache and I'm wondering if it's too late to ask Lorne to relocate. Add to that the many voices of girls, slayers, that are showing up everyday and quiet is quickly becoming a useless word. I can't go anywhere for a moment of peace, even my own office.

At least in here I can lock the door and draw the shades and pretend that the world outside doesn't exist, except the sounds keep finding me. Damn my vampire hearing! I think it's time for me to invest in earplugs. I sigh and lean back in my chair, thinking about the other things going on.

Willow is here and Giles is bringing Buffy, Dawn, Xander and more slayers with him. My hotel is about to become slayer central, where they will be recruited and trained. So far, Willow has been a bit antisocial, which I guess is to be expected, and I think she's worrying about Buffy's reaction to coming here and staying. I know I'm nervous about it myself. Buffy and I have seen each other a few times since I left Sunnydale, but to have her living here is going to be strange and very uncomfortable, all the more reason to stay in my office and be antisocial myself.

From the sounds I'm hearing outside, apparently Buffy and Dawn aren't here yet, but Xander, Giles and a couple of slayers are. Well, I guess I don't have to face Buffy yet and I'm kind of relieved about that for the moment. Of course, I don't think there's going to be any moment that I'm going to be ready for her to be here.

I don't know what to think, first I am living alone in Georgia and some freeky guys try to kill me, is there ANYONE out there that doesn't want me or my family dead? Then I am made to go to London where the council takes my sister under their wing and help her to become more than just a sister of a slayer, as well as a reader. I guess I should be happy that they didn't make her feel like she was a freak, but I still worry that bringing her into this life would be even more dangerous than it already is for her.

None of this mattered anymore, since I agreed to work for the council I was ordered to go back to Los Angeles with Giles and Buffy and Dawn weren't going yet? Why did they get out of this trip, but the rest of us had to go there? And for that matter, they know what kind of risk lies in me going back to the states and for Julie to go back to the states and yet they make both Julie and I go back..I guess what they get they deserve.

When we arrived I would have liked to just find a room, but no, instead we had to talk to Willow and Tabitha and then Giles got to talking to other people, that left Cait and I standing in the middle of the lobby alone. Since we had no clue where to go we just sat down, why not get comfortable since we were all ignored and such. Thats when a cute, yet strange boy walked up, he offered to help find us a room. I guess I should be happy someone actually offered to help, but this boy looked like he was getting moon eyes, drool and all. I would just have to keep my distance later.

I have been here all of a week and already I have had Angel's son hate me, a random hot guy spill coffee on me and hand me a bunch of money to pay for the cleaning...well money and his number, but didn't tell me his name so I wasn't about to call him and say hey you random coffee spilling guy, thanks for the cash and all, but really it was a cheap shirt anyway. so I just put the money in a small box on my dresser and go back to my reality. A reality that is almost unreal.

Buffy, Dawn, Xander, Giles and a couple slayers are supposed to be arriving today. I am not sure what to expect here, Buffy doesn't even know she is coming to stay in Angel's hotel, I am not sure that Giles has gained the courage to tell her for fear of her reaction. What he doesn't get is she will be angrier by her not knowing sooner. Maybe I should have told Giles this, but it just isn't my place.

Taking a look at my watch I realize what time it is and rush to change clothes, they should be here any moment. sliding into one of my comfortable, non coffee stained tops and a pair of jeans and head downstairs just in time to see Giles, Xander, a blond girl and a talk brunette and a younger brunette...I am thinking the younger girl isn't a slayer, so this girl must be the sister of the slayer who was now under the protection of the council. As I look over the group I notice Buffy and Dawn aren't here..where are they?

I rush up to Xander and the blond girl clinging to him. "Where are Buffy or Dawn? They were supposed to be here with you."
