Ember decided to go out and look for a job with better money than the one at the restaurant she worked at as a waitress. She had been given a card to be a model, so she decided to dress up some and even do her hair and make-up for this.
She wore a nice white shirt with lace and cotton with flower designs on the laced sleeves, she also had on a black skirt she borrowed from a friend. She had tights and heels. Her hair was in a fancy yet messy bun, with some hair freed from her bun to frame her face.
Going to her car, Ember sat there a moment nervous. She was nervous, she was scared. But she needed the money to get out of here. She wanted to move away far away from this life. And be safe from her sisters murderer.
She took another deep breath, she drove to the appointment.

Ember arrived at the building for her to be interviewed. She had a female friend come over to do some photos for the portfolio to give to the people here. She kept looking around to see if she was being followed.
Not seeing anyone, she headed inside.
She signed in and sat down. Her leg bounced nervously. She looked around at the other models that were in the waiting room, and in the pictures on the wall. She wasn't pretty enough for this. She should leave.
She stood up to leave when her name was called. Now she couldn't leave. She was called again, and so she took a deep breath and walked through the door. Following the woman to a room, she was led to. Ember looked at the people inside.
They were already judging her. She could tell.
"What is your name?" One asked. "I'm Ember Palpatine." She told them as she walked up to the table and handed them her pictures, and her background. They all looked her papers and pictures.
When they finished, they took turns going up to her and looked her over. They touched her, not inappropriately, they spoke in low voices. But one woman looked at her. "You have a unique face. I like it. You even have pretty lips." She said examining her.
Ember looked at her. "And pretty eyes." The woman wrote things down like the other had before going back to sit with the others. "One of us will call you if you are accepted." One of the people told her after they got copies of everything.
She took her things and left.
She sat in the car and laid back taking deep breaths. She rubbed her face to settle her racing heart. She then headed to work. She had one of her uniforms in the back of her car for her to put on when she got there.
When she got to a different bar and grill called 'King Tavern Bar and restaurant. She would be a bar tender or wait tables. She was doing both tonight. She would work the restaurant for the lunch/dinner shift, then do the night shift at the bar.
She liked bar tending, but she needed more work with more money to get out of here. She just needed to get out of this place.
Away from that bastard.
She changed in the bathroom, and took her other clothes back to her car, before clocking in and getting to work.
It was her break, so she went to sit and eat her dinner before going to the bar side and work there for the night. She ordered a smokehouse burger, which was her favorite type of burger in the planet.
She was eating when someone came and sat in front of her. She looked up and froze.
"Hello Pet."
