Rosalie's Pov
I followed the directions to a different building then the one I had been interviewed in. This new address was in a sketchier neighborhood than the first one. And lucky me, still don't have a car. I had to take the forty minute ride on the bus. Once out I had to walk.
Walking to the new building, I began to wonder what this 'training' was going to entail. I mean, this Jane chick wasn't very specific. In fact none of this was very definite. The ad I found about this job was vague. The only thing that was clear was the pay. That's what had people lining up to get this position.
I was about ten buildings away from my destination when I felt rather then saw someone following me. I could hear the footsteps behind me. At first I thought I must just be paranoid. Just because someone was walking behind me didn't necessarily mean that there was someone following me. I started to walk faster, just in case.
Maybe it was my imagination, but I could swear I heard the footsteps behind me pick up their pace. Now I was getting freaked out. I turned down a random street just to see if this person would follow. He did.
I finally got a glimpse of him. And he was huge. Like, monstrous huge. I concentrated on where I was and who was around. Of course there was no one around now. When I desperately need people to disappear they just remain, but when I need people to witness me being stalked…
I decided to make sure I wasn't just getting out of hand. I turned around and looked at the man. He was tall, maybe 6'7''. He had brown curly hair and he was extremely muscular. He was kind of cute. In a I'm-stalking-you-and-could-potentially-harm-you-with-my-superior-strength way.
"Yes?" I said, putting my hand on my hip.
The man didn't say anything. He took a couple more steps forward though. When he was about three feet in front of me he stopped. He looked me up and down.
"Are you Rosalie Hale?" He asked. My eyes widened. How did he know my name? This was seriously freaking me out. He must have taken my silence as confirmation because he broke out into a huge grin and stuck out his hand.
"Hello Rosalie, I'm Em—," I took his hand and flipped him on his back. He was so shocked that he didn't react right away, which gave me the opportunity to kick him in the groin twice before getting a head start running away.
I sprinted back the way I came and headed towards the building I was supposed to be doing my training in. I burst through the lobby doors and many people turned and stared at me with curious expressions. I sat down on one of the little couches to catch my breath.
"Rosalie," I jerked up as I heard my name, then relaxed the tiniest bit when I saw it was Jane standing over me. "Come with me," She said. She looked around the lobby, seemingly searching for something or someone. Then she started walking towards an elevator. I followed her, still trying to catch my breath.
"Interesting trip over?" She asked with a cocked eyebrow. I glared at her but didn't reply.
We entered the elevator and she pushed multiple buttons. We eventually started moving down. When we finally stopped we exited the elevator and went through a long hallway. We entered a room that was halfway lit by a large purple lamp.
"Have a seat Rosalie," Jane told me. I cautiously sat down. As soon as I did a man entered through a side door.
"Jane," He said enthusiastically.
"Alec," she replied. "Do you happen to know where Emmett got off to?"
"I thought he was coming…shortly after you," Alec replied. They gave each other hard looks for a second before they both turned to me.
"Well," Jane started. "I have to see if you can actually do the job we are considering hiring you for,"
"Wait a second. You called and told me that I had gotten the job offer, not that I had passed stage one," I was angry. Did she really call me down to this shady area where I probably almost got mugged by some creepy stalker and then take me down into the basement of some building where I couldn't even get out just to tell me that I may still not get the job? She was out of her mind!
"We need someone qualified, I can't just let some hothead come in and work for us," Now I was pissed.
"You know what, I knew you were crazy. I'm getting the hell out of here," I stood and made my way to the door just as it was flung open. In strode, or should I say limped, the creepy stalker man who tried to attack me. My eyes widened before they narrowed. He was still following me! I pulled my hand back and punched him in the face before he even registered that I was standing in front of him. I was about to hit him again when I felt a pair of arms holding me back.
"Let go of me!" I yelled at whoever was holding me. "This creep was stalking me around town. He picked the wrong one to mess with!" The man behind me, Alec, chuckled. Then he turned to Jane.
"This is one hellcat you've found."
Jane's POV
I was pissed.
I assumed he just left her and went to get food or something when I didn't see him in the lobby. He had done that before with a boring tail.
I always sent someone out to trail the recruit to see if they would notice and if they did, how they would react. This job wasn't for the faint hearted. I needed someone who had good instincts and could take care of herself.
Very few people made it this far in the process of working for us, so there weren't that many trail jobs. This is what made me even the madder.
I walked Rosalie down to the grey room. Just as I was about to begin part 2, Alec came in. I asked him about Emmett, but he had no clue where he was. I was very agitated at this point.
I began telling Rosalie about the second phase of her 'interview', but she got pissed, as I assumed she would, and proceeded to storm out of the office. Just as she was about to leave, in came Emmett, looking like he had just been beaten up.
That was a first.
I was so surprised at his state of arrival that I missed Rosalie's wind up and only saw the aftermath of her punch to his jaw. My eyes widened in shock. She was about to hit him again, but Alec was quicker than I was and he pulled her back.
Rosalie began thrashing against Alec and yelling for her release. Alec then turned to me.
"This is one hellcat you've found," He smirked.
"Tell me about it," I then looked at Emmett. "Did she beat you up before?" I asked.
He grudgingly nodded. Alec laughed and Emmett sent him a scathing look.
"I suppose this is the reason that you were so late,"
"You know this freak? Did you send him out to follow me?" Rosalie was scathing mad at this point.
"Of course," I replied nonchalantly.
The expression 'if looks could kill' came to my mind at this time. She was beyond pissed.
"You are all out of your damn minds. I don't need this. You're lucky I'm not reporting you to the cops right now!" She spat.
"How could you possibly do that? We have you down here, isolated and there is no cell signal," I told her calmly. She stilled herself at this. It looked as if she was going to just give up. But of course not, I underestimate her.
"I know that's not the case with all phones. You're cell works down here, I heard the missed call you received about a minute ago," This surprised me seeing as my phone is currently on vibrate. I took it out of my pocket and sure enough, I had a missed call from about a minute ago. She continued her reasoning.
"Even if your cell couldn't place calls, there is a land line in the back of this room that I could get to and a computer system on this level that I can access to send out information. Also, I know exactly where we are right now, so that is a non-issue. I could get back to that elevator, punch in the access code and get back to the lobby in no time."
Alec and Emmett stood in quiet silence. They were awed at her behavior, especially towards me.
"And how, pray tell, would you leave this room? We wouldn't just let you saunter out of here,"
She looked me dead in the eye for a second. In a movement so fast that none of us had time to register, she dropped to the floor through Alec's grasp. Once she hit the ground she kicked her leg out and took Alec's legs out form under him. Alec fell to the floor with a thud. She then pinched him in a pressure point on his neck and he slumped down, unconscious.
She looked at Emmett again, who was shrinking back into the wall. Some ex-marine he was.
She then looked pointedly at me.
"This is me sauntering out," she said. And with that she turned and walked out the door. I stood stunned for a second before I gathered myself and turned to the surveillance monitor in the back of the room. True to her word, she had known the access code. She was punching it into the elevator and started to go up to the lobby.
I let out a huge breath. Just then I got a call from the boss.
"Jane," He answered immediately. "I think this is her. In fact I am 94% that it is. I just need to test her once more."
"I'm not under the impression that she will come in again,"
"Oh she will," Aro assured. "This time I will interview her in a private office. It will be very exclusive. She will come, I assure you. And if she really is as I think she is, she will accept our job offer."
Please R&R! I will love you forever 3
