Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' the dear Richard O'Brien does. If I did believe me I would be the happiest person in the world and would be in California instead of the East Coast. Though, I do own Ava and a few characters that shall pop up later in the story. Please Review, I would love to hear from you all.
Chapter 6
A Visitor
The doorbell rang and the residents of the castle shot up. Ava had only heard the doorbell once before and it was when she accidently bumped into it. Riff Raff and Frank were working in the lab and gazed up at each other with a mask of concern. The doorbell rang again and they nearly fell back at the sound. The two rushed to the elevator door hoping they could make it to the entrance in time incase Seeley was lurking around. After waiting for movement, Magenta soon realized she would have to be the one to answer the door. She ran to the foyer with a duster in hand, bracing herself for the worst. She waited a minute and then slowly creaked open the door, peering outside. But to her surprise, instead of an assassin she saw a woman with long brown hair standing on the porch reading something on a small scrap of paper.
"Oh," the woman said looking up from her little note, "Is Ava here?"
Magenta tapped her fingers on the door frame and snarled over at the mysterious woman. "Who is asking?"
"I'm Micah, Ava's best friend." She smiled up at Magenta and extended her hand hoping she would shake it.
"I see," she mumbled, still unsure of this strange woman standing at the castle doors. "How am I to know that you are her best friend?"
Micah stood there for a minute, trying to think of something that would prove to Magenta that she was Ava's friend. "Well, she has a scar on her left arm from when she smashed into the pavement when she was little." Magenta was still hesitant at letting her inside though she knew of the scar. "I guess you still don't believe me. Well, I guess I'll show you this," Micah quickly lifted up her shirt and revealed the same tattoo that Ava had on her hip. "We called each other our penguins when we were little . . . don't ask . . . so on Ava's twentieth birthday we got matching penguin tattoos. Believe me now?"
"I suppose."
"Wow," Micah mumbled under her breath thinking the whole situation was bullshit.
"Ava!" Magenta called, making Micah jump backwards at the new found noise level.
Ava jumped out of bed and started for the stairs. She heard a familiar voice say something along the lines of; "How can you not fuckin' believe me? We have matching tattoos!" When she heard this she sprinted down the stairs and jumped into Micah's arms. Tears of joy filled the girls' eyes and they embraced the moment. Slowly Ava looked up at gave her a questioning stare, "Wait, how the hell did you find me?"
"I'm your best friend; do you even have to ask?" Ava shot her a glare and Micah decided it was best to tell her. "Well, I hadn't seen you for a while and I was scared to death that something happened. But I remember you talking about this Frank character and his epic castle so I went to check your records at the shop and I found this place. I guess my theory was right."
"I suppose it was."
The two turned around quick and saw Frank standing in the foyer with a seductive smirk on his face. He started to walk towards the girls and Ava slowly stepped away from Micah as she let Frank wrap his arm around her waist.
"So is this the lucky man?" Micah let herself laugh a little.
"This is my Frankie," she said cheerfully, unable to conceal her immense happiness.
"Well, I tip my hat to you for putting up with her."
Ava put her hands on her hips and shot Micah a questioning glare. "Now what's that supposed to mean?"
"Oh never mind." Micah tried to wrap her arm around Ava but Frank was hesitant of letting her go. "Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt her, promise. I just need to talk to her for a minute." Ava looked up at Frank and silently nodded telling him to release his grip.
The two walked over to the corner and Ava looked at Micah with a bit of fear in her eyes. "What's going on? I know you're not just here to visit." Ava asked, her tone changing.
"Seeley's been looking for you," she said only loud enough for Ava to hear.
Ava thought about her dream, and began to panic. "He doesn't know where I am does he?"
Frank could hear little of the conversation but anger flared up in his eyes. Maybe Ava was right, maybe he was back.
