It had been a really nice day. Wesley took me outside and we went and ate somewhere and oh wow, the food was so good. After we ate we went to the park and I pushed him on the swings and we laughed and it was...it was really nice. And then, we came back to the hotel and Faith was here and there's a vampire baby and we all might die. I really don't want to die. I want to be alive for the rest of my life. And I want the rest of my life to be a really long time from right now.
After Wesley brought me to my room, I grabbed my blanket and pillow and climbed under my bed. If something was going to come and get me, it was going to have to at least look for me. I wasn't going to be out in the open so I could be easy pickings for some evil demon creature thing. No way. So, I curled up with my blanket and pillow and eventually fell asleep. I didn't dream. I slept like the dead. Well, not dead, like a baby. Not a vampire baby, though, an actual alive baby. I slept really well and when I finally woke up, I was starving.
I climbed out from under the bed and sneezed a few times because of the dust. I wrinkled my nose, saw how dirty and dusty I was from being under there and then took a shower. I made sure there wasn't anyone or anything in the bathroom first, though. After my shower, I got dressed and sat on my bed for a little bit. My stomach kept hollering at me and finally I decided to be brave and go downstairs and see if anyone was around.
I opened the door and looked up and down the hall. The coast was clear, but I was still a little nervous just leaving my room by myself. So, I took a deep breath and walked to the end of the hall and peeked out over the balcony. There still wasn't anyone about that I could see, but that didn't mean that there wasn't anyone hiding behind any corners or something. I began to slowly walk down the steps, trying to be real quiet. As I stepped into the lobby, I felt a hand close on my shoulder. I screamed, spun around and hit whatever it was hard on the top of its head.
