Home and a new employee

No P.O.V

As Mara got to CF shipping, she thought of what to tell her boss/guardian for the report for today.

'Man, what do I do? This is the last time Mr. Owlands will let me come home this late from work this month. What should I do?' Mara got off her bike and parked it in a bike shed near the store. She then walked to the entrance and pulled the handle.

"I'm back from the deliveries!" Mara yelled after she entered, "Oh, who is this?" Mara looked at the person standing next to her boss by the counter. A woman in her late 20's with hot pink hair in a ponytail and amethyst eyes. She was wearing a white shirt with a maroon oval on the chest and maroon sleeves that stop below the elbow, tan khakis and a pair of sandals.

The woman walked up to Mara and bend down a bit to be eye level with Mara. "Hello, I'm Christa Tristar." The woman greeted Mara and took her hand out in front of her, " It is nice to meet the you-"

"Mara, Mara Brightheart. Ms. Tristar, it is nice to meet you too," Mara said and shook Christa's hand, "Why are you here after closing hours Ms. Tristar?" Mara asked.

"Ah, didn't Edward tell you that I'm the new employe here for CF Shippings?" Christa stated.

"Wha- What?" Mara stuttered surprisingly by what Christa said.

"Ah, Christa, now you ruined the surprise for Mara." Edward sighed

Mara looked at her boss with confusion and tears over her eyes. "What do you mean by that b-boss? A-am I going to be replaced and sent to a longer school?"

"*sigh* Mara, you aren't being replaced. The surprise is that Christa will work here with us", Edward said, "Christa will be doing the afternoon shifts while you do the morning shifts"

Mara nodded to what her boss said. "So, can I still do 2 of the afternoon stops please? Those stops have people that are my friends. Please Father?" Mara took of her hat and kneeled down with big puppy dog eyes and begged.

Mr. Owlands got mad at Mara's begging and was going to tell her no when Christa butted in.

"Um Boss, Mara can have those routes because I won't be here until later,"

Mr. Owlands looked shocked and asked, "Really? How late will you be?" Mara stood up and put her cap back on.

Christa put a hand behind her back and laughed nervously. "Um, about around 4:30 in the afternoon,"

Mr. Owlands' glasses slipped off of his eye revealing deep sea blue eyes in a surprised state. "W-what! Why!" Mr. Owlands yelled to Christa.

"Ahahahaha~" Christina puts a hand behind her head and says, "Well, you see I get out late and I have to do some of my homework before coming here,...so yeah. Sorry boss,"

"So, that means a yes. Right dad?" Mara asked her father at lightning fast speed.

"Yes it does Mara, but-"

"YES! Thank you!"

"But, you have to tell the other shops why you aren't doing them any more and explain to me what are the two shops you still want to deliver to and why. Understand?" Edward pushed up his glasses to make them have a glare to them.

"Okay, I understand boss," Mara nods her head to show she understands, " I would like the Foo Fighters HQ and Card Capital please. I choose the Foo Fighters HQ because I have some friends there and there might be confusion when someone else delivers. I also chose the Card Capital because it has people my age in there," 'and I made a promise there' but I kept that part to myself.

"Okay you can go there and I know it is a stretch, but you can stay at the Card Capital for a while if you want to because I knew the previous owners a bit. We had a few run in back when I was young and it was pretty interesting. I remember this one ti-. HEY!" The boss looked at the two girls and see them near the front door.

Mara says goodbye to Christa and closes the door. She then walks up to a door and opens it.

"Sorry boss, but you were taking to long. Night," Mara goes and closes the door.

Edward's glasses fell and he stood there in shock. He sighed and went to the entrance and locked it up. Afterwards, he went to the door Mara exit earlier and turned the lights off then goes through the door.

"Well, that was interesting. Wasn't it?" A dark figure said to another one.

"Yes it was. What about that girl? Isn't she interesting?"

"Well, I think we have a new enemy. Don't you?"

"We'll see about that. We'll see,"

End of the Final Delivery, Start of a New Beginning.

People forget, people remember. We all have something we want to forget, but it is with us forever. How we act helps our actions, we can't forget our mistakes.

A/N: Wow, sorry for the long wait. It took me a while to put it into words. So yeah, the message of this section is something that I feel like people need to know about because there are some people who are hurting on the inside even though they seem fine. So remember to give them a hand and help them.

See you next time with an update.

Mara: Don't forget to R/R!
