Clutching the carry-on bag and the small pet carrier to her, Raven slowly progressed through the large crowd making its way into the entrance of the Blue Ember. Every now and then she would glance back to Sarah to make sure they were still together. It took almost an hour and a half for them to get to the front of the crowd. By then, the sun was beginning to go down. Once there, they were both asked their full names by a small plump woman holding what looked like an iPad. A few minutes passed by.
"I'm sorry girls, we have a very large database and sometimes it takes a couple minutes to complete a search." she said apologetically.
"Oh it's ok, we don't mind." Sarah assured her with smile.
"Yeah, we're just glad to be out of the heat" added Raven.
"And not to mention, out of the dark."
"Ah, here we go. You two will be together in room…237. Maya," she twisted around to a small line of women behind her "will show you. Hope you enjoy your room." she smiled as she turned to a new set of girls.
Maya left her place in line and was shortly replaced by another who had come from the main corridor of the Blue Ember. "May I ask your room number?" she said sweetly.
"Um..2..37" answered Sarah.
"Right," the lady smiled back "follow me."
May, Sarah, and Raven disappeared into the dark corridor and were suddenly blinded by the beauty of the lighting inside the ship. As their eyes adjusted, they realized why the ship was called what it was. Following Maya down several smaller corridors, Sarah and Raven admired the ornate shimmering bright blue designs covering the pitch black walls. Even the floor seemed to pulse with the gorgeous light. As they passed several other rooms, they noticed other girls standing at their doors talking to each other across the hall. Those who noticed them pass by smiled and waved. The girls waved back.
"Wow," sighed Raven "this place is amazing."
Maya chuckled "Wait 'til you move into your rooms at the facility." she said as she finally stopped at the girls room.
"Here ya go, enjoy. I gotta go back for the next pair." she smiled as left them at the door.
"Well, she was pretty nice." commented Sarah a moment after Maya had disappeared from sight.
"Yeah," Raven agreed with a grin "They were all nice. Even the girls in the line..and in the hall."
"Maybe all the dudes just have good taste in women." said Sarah with a coy-ish look on her face.
Raven rolled her eyes. "Just open the door already." she laughed.
Sarah laughed back and opened the door. The room was just as beautiful as the ship. Pitch black walls with glowing blue light trim where the walls met the floor and the ceiling. The girls walked in and set down their stuff by a bed. As Sarah walked back over to the door and began playing with the intensity of the light with the knob, Raven sat on her bed at the far end and ran her hands on the smooth silky dark blue fabric of the pillows. She then sat up and observed the rest of the room. There was a large flat screen TV opposite the beds and the door and across from each other were small dark blue dressers alongside the wall of the beds and the nightstands which each held an iPad and a Bible.
Done entertaining herself with the light, Sarah plopped down on her own bed and let out a dramatic sigh. "I think I'm gonna like staying in here for a week." she smiled.
Raven leaned over to Sarah on her bed. "You know what?" she smiled backed "I think I am too." she said, then burst out laughing as she whacked Sarah over the head with a pillow.
hope that's satisfied you for now ;)
