Third Floor, Stage 3A
Historia returns to the auditorium stage that she did her audition last time she was here. Her ocean-blue eyes observed the bright room in the room. This time, the illumination is on as she could see all the empty seats behind the platform where the large table along with chairs. Miche, Nifa, Abel, and Nanaba are sitting behind the table. Isabel, Farlan, and Eld are sitting in the empty chairs near the judges' table.
Levi is leaning against the stage platform on his back with his arms crossed. While Hitch is standing in the middle of the stage. Marlo is next to her with script in his hands with a slightly nervous frown.
Historia and Ilse paused by the stairs that lead to the stage, waiting. The pretty actress cleared her throat for all attention eyes on her.
"I decided we'll do scenes twenty-five to twenty-seven. That part which I assumed didn't change." The pale-brown actress declared as she placed her hands on her hips with a lifted chin. All eyes turned to the Director, waiting for him to approve as he is flipping through his script with a thoughtful face.
Miche nods his head. "Alright."
Historia went to one of the empty chairs nearby while flipping through the script to find certain scenes that she knew she will have to read and memorize when it's her turn. Ilse follows her and sits down on the chair next to the blonde-haired beauty.
Marlo grabbed the purse not unkindly when Hitch handed it to him. The manager left the stage to stand by the bottom of the stairs quietly while Levi gracefully sauntered his way onto the stage calmly.
The blonde-haired beauty quickly skims over the three scenes that are all relates to make one scene which she assumed might take about six-to-nine minutes. Which means she has about five minutes to memories her lines.
Her heart beating fast with nervousness and anxiety. Historia wants to do her best to the best of her ability. Her gaze shifted upward from her script to the stage when Abel opens his mouth. "You may begin!"

On the stage, Hitch flips the stray of her hair away from her face as she turned her back and took a breather. Levi carefully adjusted his black blazer and tucked his hands in his pockets.

Ella's shoulders curled forward as her arms wrapped around herself. She was shaking as her back is facing Kane. Kane stared at her indifferently quietly.
"How… how long are you planning to trap me here?" Ella turned around with upset and anger as her eyes narrowed sharply at Kane. "How long am I supposed to be stuck in this room? Forever?" she spat angrily.
Kane's grey-blue eyes sharpen fiercest. "If it protects you, then yes." He retorted, harshly. Ella gritted her teeth as she steps forward and stared at Kane's eyes straightly.
"I didn't ask for your protection, Kane! I don't want it! I'm tired of being stuck here like a bird in a cage!" Ella shouted, furiously.
The raven-haired man scowled heavily as he glowered at her. Making himself seem taller than her with his intimidating aura. "I'm sorry, princess." He spat out the nickname. "I know this isn't what you want for your freedom, but it's for your safety!"
Ella scoffed with disbelief. "Well, I don't want your protection, then!" she steps forward and pushed Kane's shoulders who step back with anger glint in his grey-blue eyes. "Leave! Let me be and have my own freedom! Go away! Never come back! Go! Leave! Just—go!" her eyes teary with rage and hurt. "Please. Leave!" she snapped at emotionless Kane.
The silence between them for a moment then Kane opens his mouth blankly. "Fine." He snippy said, turned around, and walk away.
Ella whirled around and crossed her arms as she lowered her head.

The blonde-haired beauty was amazed by the acting between Hitch and Levi in such wrath and alarming scene. Ilse frowns at the scene as she is uncomfortable because Ella's character is supposedly a sweet, thoughtful, and lovely lady, from what she read few things from the scenes where Ella plays.
Meanwhile, Abel leaned closer to the Director and Nifa to whispered. "Hitch is an amazing actress, I won't deny that, but Ella isn't short-temper." He muttered, concerned.
"Does Hitch knew that?" Nifa mumbled with curiosity. Miche hummed with contemplative while Nanaba was leaning back with her arms cross quietly.
While Isabel is whispering to Farlan and Eld in a low volume but loud enough for them to hear her in a baffled tone. "What the hell? I thought Ella Evanson was supposed to be a sweet gal?" the redhead doesn't understand where this Ella's character got her anger comes from.
Ilse turned her golden eyes to Historia who is re-reading the lines. "Will you be able to do it, miss?" she whispered to the blonde-haired beauty curious.
Historia bit her inner cheek as she has mentally recited the lines in her mind over and over. "…I might be able to do it but… not that level of aggressive." She mumbled back, worried that she might fail this.
"Well, I believe you can do it." The servant/manager assures the blonde-haired beauty with a warm smile. "No matter what, I'll support you." Ilse added.
Historia sends her a thankful smile. Then her ocean-blue eyes shifted back to the stage when Hitch clears her throat. "It's your turn." She is eyeing Historia rudely. Hitch ambled across the stage to descend the stairs where her manager is waiting for her.
Historia handed her script to Ilse who gently took it. The petite teen rubbed her nervous sweating palms on her jeans then walked toward the stage. Hitch wrinkles her nose at the blonde-haired beauty then went to take a seat at one of the empty chairs with Marlo next to her.
Once the blonde-haired beauty steps onto the stage. Her nervous gaze on disinterested Levi. She pauses about a couple of feet away from Levi while her heart was beating fast out of tension, apprehension, and worried. Levi's sharp grey-blue orbs stared at her and Historia couldn't help but froze. Her open emotions in her ocean-blue eyes contact with his swirling colors of grey-blue which makes it both intimidating and mesmerizing at the same time.
Levi clicked his tongue sharply. "Prove it to me how you were picked for this role." He muttered to the blonde-haired beauty strictly. He wants to know what makes her so special to earn Ella's role.
Historia blinked at Levi's harsh tone but somehow courage words greeted in her ears. She stared at Levi who cocked his eyebrow at her, waiting silently for her to answer. For once, Historia decided to prove to these people that she earns this role because she has potential for it. Like these people said before, that she is meant for Ella so… strong resolve sparks in her ocean-blue eyes.
It seems that her silent answer satisfied Levi as his eyes lit up with approval. Historia closed her eyes as she took a couple of steps back and make herself believe that she is Ella Evanson and Levi is Kane Frossard.

Ella's shoulders were shaking as her tiny hands at her side are clenched in fists. "How…" she trailed off, tiredly and stressed. She turned half-way and her ocean-blue eyes stared at emotionless Kane. "…how long are you planning to trap me here?" she asked, worried and fearful. "How long am I supposed to be stuck in this room?" she took a step forward closer to Kane as her ocean-blue eyes examined his face, hoping to see any hint of emotion. "Forever?" she choked, sadly and scared.
Kane just stared at her. "If it protects you, then yes." He answered, calmly as he released his hands from his pockets.
The blonde-haired beauty just shakes her head as her eyes started tearily. "I didn't ask for your protection, Kane." She stressed while the mixture of exasperatedly and slightly overwhelmed. "I don't want it. I'm tired of being stuck here like a bird in a cage." She begged Kane to give her freedom, as she doesn't want to be trapped in the room.
"I'm sorry, princess." Kane shakes his head as his cold eyes soften slightly with a hint of guilty. "I know this isn't what you want for your freedom, but it's for your safety."
Ella's lips tremble as she steps forward and punches Kane's chest weakly with teary glares as Kane stared at her in unexpected surprise. "Well, I don't want your protection, then!" she starts pummeled her tiny fists against Kane's chest, ruin his neatly suit. "Leave! Let me be and have my own freedom. Go away!" she shouted with distress and overwhelmed.
Kane quickly grabbed her wrists to stopped her from hitting him as he doesn't want her to get hurt herself. Ella sniffled and continue. "Never come back. Go. Leave… just—please… please go." Her eyes shut tightly, attempt to control her tears.
The raven-haired man stared at Ella with brief struggle emotions clearly on his face then quickly covered his poker face. "…fine." He gently released her wrists and step back. Kane stared at her trembling body for a moment, he whirled around and left.
Ella whimpered as she lowered her knees to the ground and covered her face, sobbing.

Meanwhile, Ilse stared at the scene with starry eyes as her hands clasps together in front of her. She is beaming proudly of her mistress' brilliant acting skill.
On the other side near the table where Isabel is along with Farlan and Eld. Her green eyes widen in shock while Farlan was impressed and Eld has half-grinned on his face. "Well, damn. That gal can act." Isabel snapped out of it with an amazed smile on her face. Her gaze shifted over the fuming Hitch as Marlo attempt to calm her. "It seems that Historia nailed Ella's role just right." Isabel added, smugness.
Ela nodded his head, agreed with the redhead. "I can see that she surprises Levi too." He pointed it out.
"Oh, trust me." The blonde-haired singer smirks as his eyes twinkle mischievously. "She really did surprise him." Farlan knew that no one can ever surprise Levi these days since it is very rare. Isabel giggled playfully as she mentally agreed with Farlan.
At the same time, Abel smiles widely with relief and content by Historia's acting skill. "Her acting… her aura… now that's Ella Evanson." He is so happy and satisfied to see a real Ella Evanson character on the stage.
"What do you think, sir?" Nifa asked the Director while Nanaba looks excited as she enjoyed watching the brief scene between Ella and Kane on the stage.
Miche hummed softly to himself then stood up as all eyes turned to him, attentive. "It's official. Historia Lenz plays the female lead role." Most of the people were content with his decision.
Back on the stage, Historia has her hands dropped to her lap with a relieved smile on her face. She did it. The blonde-haired beauty earned her role and proved it to these people. A hand greeted at the corner of her eyes and she turned to it. She noticed that Levi is offering his helping hand to her with a raised eyebrow at her, waiting for her to accept his help.
Historia shyly touched his offering hand and Levi pulled her up to her feet effortlessly. Their hands dropped away as small static electricity sparks between them. Historia was slightly startled as she covered her hands to her chest while Levi curled and uncurled his fingers as he was somewhat confused but shook it off. "…hopefully we'll work together without any problem, Lenz." Levi muttered Historia, semi-politely with a bored tone.
"Yes." A beautiful smile appeared on her face as her ocean-blue eyes sparkle. "I hope we'll work well together, too." Historia said, happily.
The raven-haired actor shifted his grey-blue eyes over to Hitch who looked pissed. "Satisfied enough for you, Dreyse?" And he walks down from the stage without giving Hitch's a chance to answer. "Now, let's get the shitty meeting to get over with." Levi grumbled.
Historia watches Levi with contemplative. '...he's not what I thought he would be like in real life.' She mused, she won't deny that Levi Ackerman is intimidated and scary but at the same time, he seems fair and equal to others. And thanks to him, she has proven her worth and she honestly can't wait for her career to start as soon as possible.

Later…
Historia is currently laying on her bed while staring at the ceiling. She finally returns home with Ilse, ate dinner, took shower, and did her nightly routine. And now, in her comfortable light-blue tank top, and white with blue polka dots shorts pajamas. Historia couldn't believe that the meeting took an entire day to discussed scenes, characters, lines, time, locations, and so on. She learned a lot more than she ever possibly thought.
The blonde-haired beauty didn't expect to be so much work and knowledge as she is only getting a taste of part in the stardom world. And she knew this is only just the beginning of her new career. Historia also earned new friends among the people and even have their personal cell numbers on her smartphone. Now, she has Isabel, Farlan, Nifa, Nanaba, Abel, Marlo, Miche, and Levi.
Historia was surprised when Levi gave her his number even though, he explained that it's only a work phone number. However, still, she has never seen that many numbers in her phone contact all in one day. The blonde-haired beauty hopes that she can deepen her friendship bonds with them someday.
After all, she likes having friends in her life.
Then she thought about Hitch, the actress who never once failed to remind her how much she loathed Historia. The blonde-haired beauty doesn't understand why someone who is a pretty and a famous actress like Hitch, hates a newbie actress like her?
Historia sighed softly as she wondered if Hitch sees her as an enemy. 'I guess not everyone can like me. There are bound to be someone out there who dislikes me whether it's a good reason or not.' She mused, she is aware that if she is going to be an actress, possibly really famous in the stardom world. Historia will have to prepare a lot of haters. There will always be someone who hates her. Fortunately, there will be people who will like her. Historia likes to keep thinking positive but stay in the real world.
The blonde-haired beauty turned on her side and curled up. 'Soon, I'll be leaving for England this weekend. It's a good thing that the company already paid the travel expenses. All I need is to bring my luggage and passport. Ilse mentions that she will take care of the passport business.' A small happy smile appeared on her face. She can't wait to act as she couldn't believe that she is seriously doing this.
It's not a dream and Historia is very eager for it. 'Granny in Heaven… Mother in Heaven… look at me? Can you believe that I'm going on my dream career path. A real reality…' slowly, she fluttered her eyes close and dozed off to dreamland.

Later…
Levi is sitting on his leather couch in his silk black pajamas covered with long silk black robe, grey slippers, and reading glasses. His grey-blue eyes reading the script of Hitman's Tears since the scenes had changed a lot. He reached over to the tableside to picked up his teacup by rims with his fingers. Levi gracefully drinks his tea calmly while reading until he reached the new scenes that the scriptwriter changed.
The raven-haired actor frown when he realized that he would have to kiss the female lead along with semi-details of sexual contact. 'At least it won't further than that.' He mused, slightly irritated that he has to do this acting with a sixteen-year-old newbie. However, Levi thought about earlier today when he did act with Historia on stage.
Levi wasn't easy to surprise, in fact, it's very rare for him to be surprised by anyone. However, Historia managed to do that when she starts showing her true acting skill. Levi could see why she has the potential for becoming an actress and why she is right for playing Ella Evanson.
He thought about how Historia easily slipped into a different character with expressive emotions clearly on her face. Her ocean-blue eyes were filled with the right number of emotions along with her actions. It's all very fitting for Ella's character.
Levi is grateful that he isn't dealing with a dramatic or bitchy newbie. He was relieved as he knew that are many other actresses who had pushed his button off and pissed him off easily that he kicked their asses out of the films without any guilt. Then he recalled how the little blonde-haired beauty is short compare to him, barely reached to his shoulders which he is secretly happy with it.
For the first time, Levi is finally taller than someone who will be working with him in the film. The raven-haired actor also remembered that Historia has an American voice with a hint of a foreign accent. He wondered if it's because that blonde-haired teen is from the countryside.
Levi blinked when he noticed that his mind is filled with Historia right now and he shook his head. He lowered his empty teacup back on the tableside and flipped his script shut. 'Let's just hope that there won't be unnecessary shitty drama outside of the film.' He mused, hesitantly hopeful and skeptical. He knew that no matter how much he wishes, there will always be drama outside of work.
Hell, there's already drama starting thanks to a certain short-tempered actress. Levi stood up from his couch, picked up his teacup, and placed his script on the coffee table. The raven-haired actor walked to his kitchen, clean his teacup dried it, and put it away in the rightful spot inside of his cabinet. 'I wonder if she's going to take advantage of using my number…' he doesn't want to regret it by giving her his personal number even though, he lied to her when he said it was his work number.
Levi doesn't know why he gave her his personal number, but he just felt like it which was rather strange. He wondered if he should tell this to his crazy four-eye friend. 'No.' he immediately banished that thought away. If he informed her about it, she will instantly attack him, grab his phone and steal Historia's number and contact the blonde-haired petite girl herself by spamming with terrible memes and awful puns.
The raven-haired actor silently vowed to make sure that crazy messy chick not going anywhere near the poor blonde-haired newbie. He wouldn't put Historia through terrible traumatic to meet a loud-mouth chatterbox woman. Levi ambled his way through to his bedroom before turned the lights off.
Hopefully, his work with a newbie actress won't cause too much trouble.
