Rebecca Ch. 2
Au Note: Yo. Two in one day! I don't have a life.
When I woke up, I was confused. At first I thought the person leaning over me was my little sister, but then I remembered I wasn't home, "Honey, it's time to get up. Officer Mellen is here to take you to the training."
"Who are you?" I asked.
"Lucy."
"Can you hand me my glasses?" I was suppose to act like I was almost blind without my glasses so the gaurds or one of them might take them. I don't know why, but Gavril told me to so…job vs. wearing glasses. I'll take wearing the glasses.
Officer Mellen was outside waiting for me after Lucy ushered me out the door. She walked with us, keeping the conversation airy and friendly, until she had to go down a different hallway. The guard and I walked down the hallway in silence after she left. That is until he started asking me questions, "So how do you like the palace?"
"It's…mesmerizing. Actually, that doesn't begin to how beautiful it is.
"Yeah. You never get used to it."
A minute later, "So, I hear Gavril recommended you. Said you were one of the best actually."
"Yeah, I mean…being a Six isn't that hard. You just clean and serve."
"Yes well, let's hope you're strong enough to handle the girls."
"Are they really that bad?"
"I've only been here a week, but I've heard stories, seen maids come crying out of some of the girls rooms. Celeste is the one you need to look out for. Look over your shoulder every once in a while."
That was interesting advice. "What about the other girls?"
"Don't know much about Elise, but I'm pretty sure she's not happy here. Kriss is sweet, a little on the odd side. I think she's hiding something, something big. America though, she's a piece of work that girl."
"What do you mean?"
"You'll see, you're meeting her today. By the way, Rebecca, I'm your tech support." He opened up a door for me, "Happy hunting."
