Somewhere Else
Sam groaned as she sat up in the plainly white room. [ Uggh. If there's one thing I hate about this it's the headaches.] Looking around she figured she was in the equivalent of a waiting room.
"Excuse me, Miss? Do you have an appointment." Complete with an annoying secretary that you eventually want to throttle.
"Hey Nancy."
"Oh hello. I suppose you've been here before." The brunette secretary was behind a large white desk. A pair of white, curling rams horns adorned her head.
"Yes, many, many times. Now if I could just go in and see him I'll be out of here in a minute." Sam rolled her eyes and made to go past the woman's desk. She was stopped however by a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, but you must have an appointment to see him. Do you have an appointment?"
"er… no. But he DID bring me here so he must be expecting me."
"If you do not have an appointment you can not see him."
"Damn it Nancy, it's me. Sam. I was here just last week." Sam growled in outrage at the strange person before her. Suddenly the door behind the desk opened up startling both of them.
"Nancy please let Samantha pass. I did summon her, so therefore she has an appointment." A loud booming voice called from beyond the door.
"Yes sir. You may go in now."
"Thanks a lot." Sam muttered sarcastically as she warily passed the woman and entered the office.
Moments later…
"Who?" Sam was confused. It looked like she had been given a different assignment at the same place. And she would be getting a mysterious partner to boot. Looking at her boss in confusion she suddenly felt the urge to run very far away. If there was one thing she had learned in the past few years, it was to absolutely fear that smile. [ This CAN'T be good.]
"You shall see Samantha. You shall see. When you return your promotion will be in full effect and your partner will meet you within a day. Remember, you represent us amongst the mortals. Set a good example, and… have fun." With that a bright glow surrounded her, and as she fell through the darkness of oblivion, she just knew that this was only the beginning.
