Re: The Haunted House on the Hill

"Angel is too overly stressed." Joseph said to Denny. "I think it would be better if she stayed here."

[Rose Hathaway]

"If I stay, none of you are going. I don't want to be stuck in bed while you guys see all the action like last time." Angel shook her head.

"And you won't," Denny promised her, propping the door open with his foot and helping Angel stand up. "Just take a rest for a bit... We all just died, didn't we? You're still upset about that? People make better decisions when they aren't all upset."

[Rose Hathaway]

"Stop it. I'm fine." Angel said, shaking her head.

"Angel, you need some sleep. You're a wreck." Elizabeth added.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Listen to Liz, she's smart," Denny added.

[Rose Hathaway]

"If I stay, will you all stay?" Angel asked warily.

[quackers are yummylicious]

"Yeah, we will," Denny promised, nodding. Anything to get Angel back inside and rested.

[Book the Hero]

"Yes." Joseph said.

[Rose Hathaway]

"All of you. You're not allowed to leave without me." Angel said firmly.

"Okay, I promise to make sure they don't leave." Elizabeth said.

"Angel, we're not going anywhere, so get back inside the freaking safe room," Quil stated in annoyance.

[Rose Hathaway]

Angel nodded, and went inside, not even making it near the bed area before she sank to the ground, exhaustion overcoming her.

"Upsie daisy," Quil grunted, picking Angel up and carrying her over to the beds. Geez, she was kind of heavy.

[Rose Hathaway]

When Angel was placed on one of the beds, her head sank into the pillow, and she almost immediately relaxed a little, sighing.

[quackers are yummylicious]

Denny let out a sigh once Angel was settled down, shoving his hands in his pockets and heading to the bathrooms. He needed to wash his face or something. He wasn't sure if the others realized it, but they were seriously in trouble. Nothing ever scared Angel, but if she was this freaked out...

Aria sighed, pulling out her cellphone and checking the time, only to see the random string of numbers. We need to get out of here...

Bryant began muttering in his sleep, something about rice balls and aliens.

[Rose Hathaway]

Liz looked at Angel, who wasn't quite asleep yet, and had an idea. "Joseph, could you come hang out with Angel until she falls asleep, please?" she asked, looking over at him.

[Book the Hero]

Joseph nodded, before walking over.

[Rose Hathaway]

Angel looked at him as he joined her, and sighed. "I'm sorry about earlier." she said softly.

[Book the Hero]

"Don't worry about it..." Joseph said. "Just...Don't try to go off lone, again."

[Rose Hathaway]

Angel took his hand. "I have to go alone though. It's easier this way." she shook her head. "And I can't let you all get hurt again."

[Book the Hero]

"No, it is not easier." Joseph said. "Sacraficing yourself is not going to help us at all, and none of us want you to get hurt either."

[Rose Hathaway]

"It would keep you safe. I don't want to make the same mistakes I did last time." Angel shook her head.

[Book the Hero]

"You don't think we don't want to either?" Joseph said. "We might not remember anything, but you keep on ignoring the fact that we want to protect you as well, and nothing is going to change that."

[Rose Hathaway]

"I know you want to protect me, and I appreciate it, but I can't let people get hurt protecting me." Angel said.

Bryant woke up with a start, almost falling out of bed. He held a hand over his right eye as he tried to adjust to the light.

OOC: Waking him up because I feel like it.
