Sorry about this chunk of the fic being so short. I juts haven't being able to find my muse. Wish me luck in finding it! lol!
Darkness fell upon Calandra as she ran from the restaurant. The stars began emerging from their hidden corners in the universe and Calandra felt like her lungs were about to pop from exhaustion. Finally, she stopped running and collapsed onto the ground. She lay there for what seemed like ages and watched as the trees swayed from side to side. Suddenly a voice emerged from the peaceful silence.
"I wonder if the doors are locked?"
A majestic laugh emerged from a second person as they replied, "I don't think we'll have to worry about that Bookie. If they are, our girls will have hell to pay!"
The second figure began to laugh as well. "I like the perks of being the leaders of this joint."
Their footsteps began to get louder and echoed as they approached the fallen girl.
"What's this?" one asked rushing to Calandra's side.
"Are you okay?" the second one asked.
Calandra nodded and said, "Just a bit tired."
The two nodded and carefully brought the girl to her feet.
"You can stay with us, if you want."
"I'd like that, a lot."
The three girls then carefully entered an old building a few doors down and shut the door behind them.

"Bookie, Martini, is that you?" a voice called out.
"It better be you!" a second voice said. "I want all the juicy details of your double date with Skittery and Spot!"
A crowd of girls emerged from the top of the staircase and immediately sprung into action as they spied the third girl.
"What's the matter? Is she okay?"
Calandra nodded her head yes. "I'm fine. Just a bit exhausted."
