Chapter 136
The silver Volvo slowly entered the city roads that were mostly empty by this time of night, Port Angeles wasn't a major city with a bustling night life, causing its night roads to be mostly empty, the people having already fallen asleep to get ready for their mornings tomorrow.
The car drove through the main road before slowly driving to the left and through a narrower asphalt road that led to a less commercial part of the city, filled with medium apartment buildings on both sides of the road.
Finally after a dozen minutes that felt longer than they had any right to be in Alan's mind, the car slowly came to a stop, right before a large apartment complex that wasn't anything special, it was in fact quite similar to the rest of the apartment buildings surrounding it, it looked completely normal.
'I don't know if I was just expecting too much… but this is a bit disappointing, considering the mansion that these guys have in the middle of the woods, I thought that this would be some kind of penthouse apartment in the middle of the city, not this clearly at least twenty year old apartment building on almost the edges of it.' Alan thought to himself for a moment before he shook his head as he cleared his thoughts.
'No need to get greedy, I'm still getting to live here for at least a year with money for food and anything, it's still a steal, if only it wasn't handed to me by bloodsuckers but I guess nothing is perfect in this world.' Alan thought to himself as he opened the Volvo door and got up from his seat and stood outside the car, Edward swiftly following after him as the man came out of his own side and walked to stand next to Alan.
"This is it, I'll hand you the keys now and get going, the apartment number is on them." Edward said simply as he handed Alan a set of keys before turning around and heading back inside of his silver volvo.
The sound of the volvo driving away rang out merely moments later and after a while, it completely disappeared into the distance, swallowed by the darkness of the night.
Looking at the fading red tail-lights in the distance for a moment, Alan finally released a soft breath of relief before he turned his head back towards the apartment building and took his first step, following quickly by another and another as he headed into the building and walked directly towards the elevator that was conveniently placed right in front of him as soon as he entered through the front doors.
Pressing the button to call the elevator down, Alan glanced down at his hand for a moment as he stared at the key that he had been handed, attached to the key was a small stainless steel plate with the number 505 attached to it, showing that it was the fifth apartment on the fifth floor of the building.
*Ding*
With a bell-like sound, the elevator announced its arrival as the steel doors in front of him opened up and Alan headed inside of it. The elevator was simple, nothing special and nothing too basic either, it was normal, clearly the building was normal in almost every sense of the word.
'Likely got this in case that they were in hiding or needed a better place to stay in, in case that their identities got discovered or something of the sort.' Alan mussed inside of his own mind as he turned to the left where the buttons were and clicked the fifth floor and in a few seconds, the elevator doors started closing with a metallic sound before completely locking him inside of it.
The usual pressure that occurred when using an elevator soon came and in a few seconds it stopped as the bell-like sound rang once more and the metallic door opened once more… however the floor wasn't the fifth, not yet, the elevator had stopped at the third floor.
As the metallic doors opened, inside of the elevator came a white woman with long black hair, black makeup and overall a style that closely resembled a dark gothic style if not maybe an emo one.
"Hi there!" The woman said as she gave a nod of her head and stood to the side once she entered the elevator.
Alan gave a simple nod of his head towards the woman as he turned his gaze back to the buttons and clicked the close door button before the elevator doors closed once more and the elevator started rising once more.
"So… you're new? I'm Felicia." The woman, now having introduced herself as Felicia spoke as she gave a friendly smile towards Alan.
Turning his gaze back towards the woman once more, Alan's eyes narrowed for a moment before he nodded his head.
"Yeah, I just got this apartment a few days ago and I'm moving in right now actually, though I already have most of my stuff already inside. My name's Alan, Alan Walker." Alan spoke as the elevator kept rising, and then started slowly coming to a stop as it approached the fifth floor.
"Aren't you going to press your floor?" Alan asked as he gazed at the buttons, the woman had yet to press a single one to pick her destination since she had entered into the elevator.
"Ah… your right, I just got a bit confused sorry, happens all the time hahaha…" Felicia said in reply as she showed a seemingly warm smile before she clicked the eighth floor button.
"Right. Well this is my stop, see you around Felicia." Alan replied as the doors finally opened once more and the bell like sound rang once more, stepping out of the elevator and into the hallway of the fifth floor, Alan felt a shiver run through his body unexpectedly, turning his head to look back into the elevator, he noticed the woman still keeping that smile on her face, it looked normal… besides the fact that it wasn't changing at all, as if she had forgotten to remove her expression.
'What the…' Alan thought as he started to use his observation skill however before he could, the metallic doors of the elevator already closed as the figure of the woman disappeared.
