Chapter one

When you are born a set of colored words appear somewhere on your body the colors and words vary from person to person but they all lead to the same thing...your soulmate

Twenty-four-year-old Blake Belladonna woke to the ever-delightful sound of her two cats Gabol and Shroud pushing and scratching their food bowls in indignation. Rolling over she grabs her phone to see what time it was, seeing the bright numbers state 9:30 AM, and the notice for her book signing later that day. she groaned and stepped out of her lovely warm bed and went to feed her greedy cats. With that task done she heads back to her bedroom to get ready for the day.

she grabbed a pair of black skinny jeans, a dark purple long sleeve shirt, black beanie, and black converse, she went into her bathroom to take a shower. Post-shower and wrapped in a towel she stared at her arm where the words 'please, let me stay here' were written in looping red cursive. She seriously hoped they weren't ax murderers.

After getting dressed and eating a bowl of oatmeal, she grabbed her keys, wallet, and locked the door behind her on the way out. Getting there was easy as this was one of her favorite places to go whenever she was younger and less recognizable, but now that she has written some best selling books, and one of her earlier books is getting a movie adaptation, she is better known and easier to recognize than ever before, she hardly goes anymore.

Making it there she sees the table where she is going to be sitting at and makes her way over. She is about to sit down when a small splash of red on the floor catches her eye and she notices a very nervous, and cute woman underneath the table. With silver eyes, petite features, shoulder length black hair with red tips, and as far as she could tell, a runner's body type, she was easy on the eyes. Crouching she looks at the woman for a moment before the bi haired woman said almost desperately "Please, let me stay here" Blake felt a shock go through her and unthinkingly said, "Well, probably not a serial killer, good to know".

The woman held her hand out for a handshake, "Ruby Rose".

Smiling, she shook the outstretched hand "Blake Belladonna".

"Feel free to stay down there until after my book signing is over with." Blake then raised her eyebrow in a questioning look "But first, why are you under here, to begin with?"

She blushed lightly, (a very cute look on her by the way) and rubbed the back of her neck, "My ex-girlfriend and I...parted...on some not so happy terms to say the least".

Blake nodded knowingly and quietly muttered, "I know what you mean".

Blake went to sit down on the chair but stopped "Before you sit down I think I've been down here for long enough, for her to be gone, so I'm going to quickly stand up, and go to the coffee shop at the back wall and study until you are done, alright?"

With a smile and nod from Blake, Ruby quickly stood up and subtly made her way to the back wall with her things. Blake then took her seat and mentally prepared herself for the long four hours ahead of her.
