Chapter 2
Betty picked her head up from the desk and looked around frantically. She got up and walked into Daniel's office. As she walked in Daniel looked up, his smile turned into a look of concern.
Daniel: Hey Betty, you ok? (He asked concerned)
Betty: I feel weird. Can I just stay in here, Daniel?
Daniel got up from his chair and came next to her.
Daniel: Do you need anything? What's wrong?
Betty:Can I just stay in your office? I don't really want to be out there. (She said looking out the glass barrier) Daniel followed her gaze wondering why she seemed nervous about being outside his office.
Daniel: uh, okay. You can stay in here. I need your help with a few things anyways.
Betty: Okay! (She smiled in relief that she didn't have to sit out there) Daniel smiled shaking his head and sat back in his chair. They worked on things for a while, the rain getting worse. It seemed to grow darker as the rain intensified making MODE even more unbearable at the moment.
Meanwhile...
Amanda was sitting at the big orange donut flipping through a magazine bored out of her mind. She brought the magazine down to flip the page and suddenly saw Marc.
(Jumping back slightly) Amanda: Geez Marc, I didn't even hear you. Eww...you look awful. I think you need to lay off the tanning crème. It's not working! I'm glad you're here! (She pulls him excitedly inside the donut) I'm bored. Oo, oo, do you want to go to the Closet and try stuff on?
Marc was next to her about to grab her when she moved in excitement. I saw this dress in there! And there were matching shoes! (She squealed excitedly) Marc was touching her arm and breathing strangely. She looked at him and noticed his bleary eyes and funny clothes. Oh, are you pretending to be a monster because of this storm and you're bored? He just leaned against her and brought his arm around her, his face coming closer to her. (She pushed him.) Funny! He came back.
Amanda: Marc, that is weird. Come on, get off! Stop! Marc, this isn't funny anymore! MAAARRC!
Betty sprang from her chair, her heart beating rapidly.
Betty: Daniel, did you hear that? (She walked over to him)
Daniel: Hear what? (He asked looking up at her)
Betty:It sounded like screaming.
Daniel: Come on, Betty. I think this storm is just getting to you. (He looked back to his work)
Betty: (grabbing his arm) No, Daniel. I really heard it!
He touched her hand.
Daniel: Betty, relax okay. (He looked at her eyes warmly)
Suddenly, the power went off again making the office darker. Betty jumped, grabbing Daniel by his arm and held him tightly.
(Daniel looked at her) Daniel:Betty, calm down. It's a storm. The powers' went off about a dozen times already. (He walked her over to the chaise and released her hold on him and sat her down). Maybe you should take a nap.
Betty: No way! (She sprang back up)
Daniel: Alright, just relax. (He went back over to his chair)
Betty walked over to the window and looked out thinking it was strangely quiet, especially in MODE. It was almost too quiet. She looked back out of Daniel's office toward her desk. Daniel had watched her for a minute noticing something in her eyes he never saw before. It looked like she was scared. Betty Suarez was never scared. She walked around the desk and rolled a chair next to Daniel and sat down looking out of his office. It was almost like being inside his office had a protective shield around it. He looked at her wondering what was going through her mind and why she was feeling this way. She looked at him and smiled hesitantly. He smiled slightly and brought his hand on top of her hand that was on his arm and looked at her eyes.
Daniel: I'm here Betty. (He said protectively)
Betty smiled and brought her other hand onto his. Betty: Thank you (she said quietly)
Daniel was working on things while he let Betty just calm her nerves. She sat in her chair looking out of his office, almost like she was watching for something. Every now and then, he would look out of his office instinctively, not sure what to look for, but he couldn't deny the strange feeling he started to get a few minutes ago. Betty was leaning back in her chair. She closed her eyes for a moment. When she opened them she leaned forward.
Betty: Daniel, what's that?
AN: Let me know what you think please. Thank you! :)
