Chapter 6:
"No. You don't seem to understand what I'm telling you. I need tinted windows. Not clear, not shaded, TINTED." Aurora stated into the phone. "Yes, I understand you only have one car that fits that but my employers are paying a lot of money upfront with cash." She sighed, who would have thought trying to rent a car would result in such a big migraine.
"Look, I'm sorry for wasting your time. I will just call a different rental agency." She slammed the phone down. Looking over at the clock she realized she had ten minutes till she got off.
"At least Bianca and I get to hang out tonight." Bianca had been covering the night shift for one of the waitresses who had gotten sick. Tonight was her first night off in about a weeks. They had plans to go to some club Bianca had been to last month.
Aurora stood up. There was a stack of papers for Heidi and she had to give them to her. Usually Heidi just came by and picked them up but she hadn't been by yet. Aurora looked back at the clock, five minutes.
She grabbed the papers and started down the hallway looking for Heidi. She was just about ready to start calling out Heidi's name when she heard voices. Stopping, she stood as still as possible straining to hear.
" ...and Aro still hasn't decided on what to do." That was Heidi, Aurora thought but who was she talking to. "The murders have gotten worse, Demitri. It's so painfully obvious that it's a nomad out of control. How have we not dealt with it."
Murders, she must be talking about Seattle. Aurora frowned, who were Aro and Demitri and what did a "Nomad" have to do with anything.
"Aro has decided to let the Cullens handle it so far. He is sending out Felix, the twins and myself to monitor the situation but for now we wait." A man voice responded. That must be Demitri.
Aurora bit her lip, this was a conversation she was sure she was not supposed to be hearing. She straightened up a little then proceeded to walk down the hallway. "Heidi" She called. "Are you down here" Fully aware that was indeed in the same hallway as her. She was nearing the end of the hallway when she heard footsteps coming around the bend.
Heidi appeared, eyes wide. A tall man behind her. The man was the most attractive man she had seen in her life with messy brown hair and shockingly red eyes. Must be some type of contacts or something genetic, she mused.
"Aurora. What are you doing down here?" Heidi asked,eyes narrowing. Aurora tilted her head. "I have some paperwork for you. You never came down to get it and I'm getting ready to go." Heidi nodded. "Have you been looking long?" She's worried I overheard, Aurora thought. "No, I just started."
Heidi smiled. "Well then I'll take those." Aurora walked up to her, handing Heidi the papers. The man behind her was looking down at Aurora, eyes curious. "And who might this be?"
Heidi turned, giving the man a look, that Aurora couldn't comprehend. "This is Aurora, she's the new secretary. She's been working here for almost a month. I think she might be staying on."
Aurora looked up at Heidi startled. This was the first time anything was mentioned about her possibly passing the probationary period.
Demitri smiled, taking her hand and bringing it up to his mouth. Heidi stiffened beside him. "I am Demitri. It is a pleasure to meet you Aurora." He pecked her hand, then dropped it. Looking over to Heidi who still looked tense. "Well, I have to be off. Work and all that." And with that Demitri walked off.
Heidi looked back over to Aurora who still had a look of shock on her face. Shaking her head, she gave a forced laugh. "Don't mind him, a major charmer that one." Aurora looked up at Heidi." Right, um if that's all, I'm going to head out now."
Heidi nodded. "I will see you tomorrow then." she stated as she turned to walk away. "Yes" Aurora said. She turned and headed back to her desk.
Shutting down the computer, she grabbed her coat and purse and headed out to meet Bianca.
She arrived at Bianca's with one minute to spare. Knocking on the door, she pondered all that she had heard earlier. It was obvious they were talking about Seattle but what Heidi and Demitri had to do with it and why Heidi wanted to take care of it was beyond her.
Her thoughts were interrupted when Bianca through open the door. Smiling as her friend led her into the apartment.
Bianca turned to her, asking. "Hard day at work." Aurora laughed. " Just an unreasonable car rental. How was your day." Bianca smirked. "Oh. You know the usual. Taking orders, getting tips, telling people that that is what they ordered."
Aurora's smile got even bigger. Bianca strode over to one of the rooms in her apartment. Walking in, she came back with a pair of black heels and a short, red slinky dress. "Here, this should be your size." She tossed the dress over Aurora.
Catching it she walked over to the bathroom. Pulling on the dress and slipping into the heels, she looked at herself in the mirror. The day had really took a lot out of her. She looked tired. Reaching up, she pulled her hair out of the tight ponytail, letting her auburn curls tumble down her back.
She left the bathroom to find Bianca waiting in a similar dress but black. Bianca strode over linking her arm with Aurora's and handed her, her purse.
Upon entering the club Bianca immediately strode over to the bar. "I'm going to get something to drink, okay. You want anything?" Aurora shook her head as she too in the dancing and music. She moved her way through the crowd, glancing at everyone.
She was dancing, lost in the music, when she heard it. "You thought you'd get away huh, Fawn but guess what I found you." The voice was in her ear. The voice that haunted her dreams, her very nightmares were made up of that voice.
Whirling around she glanced the area for the lithe figure. Expecting him to be standing there, watching her. She saw nothing. Looking around for Bianca, who was still most likely at the bar, she started to push her way through the crowd.
She finally got past the crowd of people. She spotted Bianca at the bar. Walking over, she paused halfway really taking in what was going on with her friend. There was a man grabbing onto her wrist, Bianca was trying to pull away.
Striding over she grabbed her friends other hand. "Is there a problem?" She asked. Bianca looked up at her friend with panicked eyes. "Ro."
The man was huge, bigger than any other person she had seen before. He snarled st her. "Bitch, this is none of your business." Aurora narrowed her eyes. "Actually I came here with her, and she's my friend, so I believe that this is my business."
The man straightened up. " Now you listen her you little bitch..." Aurora stood up at her tallest, no where near the mans height and looked him in the eyes. "No, you listen, she is not interested."
The man froze, tilting his head to the side. "Not interested." He repeated. Aurora nodded. "Yes, Leave now." He shook his head, looking confused. "I..I think I'm going to go." He turned away stumbling through the crowd.
Bianca turned to Aurora. "How did you do that? I told him like Three times to leave me alone and you come over and he's running with his tail between his legs. I should take you out more often. You coul be my body guard."
Aurora gave a forced smile. " Yeah, I guess I just know how to handle people." A million thoughts ran through her head, but the most important.
What the hell just happened?
