Angel POV.
I went to our room to get ready, I looked through the closet, trying to find something that fit me, I found a shirt that was button-down, a baby blue shirt, and then for the bottom, I picked a skirt, I added my shoes on and fixed my hair, well tried to fix my hair, there wasn’t any makeup for me to use, so I skipped that, and the only accessory I had was the blue bracelet in my hand.
Soon Nala joined me in the room to get ready, she picked a dress that was also blue, and she did a better job with her hair, she knew how to do some kind of styling, placing half of it up and the other half down, she washed her face, brushed her teeth again and finally added some perfume.
“You want some?” she asks and I nod, the perfume smells like baby perfume, like the cologne they added to kids, it made me feel weird, why am I wearing a child’s perfume? After we were done getting ready we both walked out of the room, we joined the rest of the girls out there, out of nine, only five of us decided to work, the rest decided not to, and everyone had blue in them, at least we didn’t have to wear a uniform.
“Everyone ready?” she says and we all nod, everyone is ready.
“Don’t forget your phones, the rest will be down there waiting for you,” she reminds us, some of us had to run back in to get our phones, but we were ready to go.
“Go down to the bus, you’ll find a tag with your name on it, everything you need is down there, please wait for me until I’m done with the other rooms,” Evelyn ordered, we went toward the elevator and went down there, the bus was ready with name tags, we looked for our name and sat down, my seat was right next to Nala.
The tag is a work ID, my name was written on it, my access was Level Six, and the name of the company was D&L, I had no idea what these letters were for, there was no further explanation, and I don’t have any idea what my work is going to be.
“Where do you work?” I ask Nala.
“Same as you, D&L, what do you think that stands for? Donate blood &Limbs?” she suggests making me laugh out loud, I don’t think so.
“I don’t think it’s donate limbs either,” I answer her.
“Well what would it be then?” she groans.
“What kind of access do you have?” she asks me looking at my ID, I showed her and she showed me hers, she only had access to level three, and I’m three levels ahead.
“Why are you three levels over me? Does this make you my boss?” she asks and I chuckle, I don’t even know what kind of job I got to know if I’m her boss or not.
“Nala, I think we better wait until we’re at work before we know who’s the boss,” I say knowing too well it won’t be either of us, we stayed in the bus waiting for the rest of the girls to come down here, what would happen if Evelyn isn’t enough to take care of everyone, what if she needs help?
“Hey, where are you two assigned?” another girl asked us.
“D&L, and you?” Nala answered her.
“I’m in the school, I used to be a teacher, I guess I’m keeping my job,” she says, maybe our jobs are the same as our old jobs, just different places.
“What used to be your job Nala?” I ask her.
“Accountant,” she answered me, I did not see that one coming, she’s a smart girl, but I didn’t expect that from her, isn’t she too young to be an accountant?
“Aren’t you too young?” I asked her just to check.
“I got the job in Dad’s construction company, I had the job since I was seventeen, and I’m not that good with numbers,” she says scrunching her nose up and making me giggle.
“Then I wish that they don’t give you another number job,” I say and she nods her head yes, agreeing with me.
After half an hour of waiting the bus started moving, it would stop at one place and call out to the girls telling them to get down, and assuring them that someone would be inside to guide them through. I placed the tag around my neck and held my phone, waiting for our company to be called, I had no idea which one was ours, but we’ll get to know it soon.
“D&L, it’s your stop,” the bus driver calls, it was me, Nala and two other girls, all of us left the bus and went down toward the building.
As promised a lady was waiting to welcome us in, she had brown hair and brown eyes, and she was short for a vampire, I think she’s a vampire, maybe there’s a human around here too, not just us. She had a giant smile on her face, and she was wearing what you’d expect a woman who works in a company as giant as this one to look like, a pencil skirt with a matching blazer and some extremely high heels.
“Hello, my name is Thalia, I’m the one in charge of you all, now let’s walk in,” she says and marches inside, we had to run to follow up with her, she was much faster than us and she’s wearing heels.
“This is D&L company, this is the headquarters of all code blue, you’ll be learning more about what you are during your stay here, and you’ll be seeing a lot of code blue interaction, we do have other colours around here, remember if the person talking to you isn’t wearing a bracelet it means they are a vampire, and we respect and obey all vampires,” she says, we’re the slaves for the vampires then.
“Now, everyone got access levels, it depends on where you’re allowed to work and where you’re allowed to go,” she says, still walking in, she stopped next to the door, and swiped her card, it showed her name on the screen, Thalia Lupus, access level twenty.
“You swap in when you walk in, so we’d know who’s in and who’s out, we do this every day when we walk in,” she ordered us and then pointed to the screen, we all had to swipe it before coming in, other than Thalia, I’m the highest access level.
“Now, we always say good morning to the nice receptionist,” she says with the same in-charge smile, we all said morning and followed her, and she walked us toward the elevator.
“We swap our cards again, and the elevator will take you to your floor,” she says telling the first girl to do so, we stopped at her floor, and she was handed over to another worker to show her the spot she’d be working in.
She did the same with the rest, I said bye to Nala with my heart beating like crazy, now it’s just me and the scary vampire, I work on the 17th floor, which is up high, I noticed the more access the higher we get to go.
“Since it’s just you and me, I’m going to walk you in,” she says with a smile, we stopped on the floor and we walked in both of us, the clicking of her heel had everyone’s attention.
“Is it Wolf on our floor?” someone yells from the other side.
“Yeah, I’m dropping off your new girl,” she says and keeps on walking, she skips offices, saying hello to people as she walks, there was a lot of people around here, some of them had blue bracelet, and vampires had blue jackets, they looked like they were wearing uniforms.
“I don’t know how you landed this job, but this is the main floor for blues, and you’re the personal assistant of Logan, consider yourself lucky or maybe not, he’s a jerk on good days,” Thalia says explaining things to me and who I’m supposed to be working with.
“Logan, get your ass here, and come get your assistant,” she says opening the door of whom I guessed to be Logan, my future boss.
Logan had brown hair brushed back, piercing grey eyes, and a big smile on his face showcasing his two long fangs, he was sitting behind a desk with a tone of paperwork right in front of him, he looked to be relieved when he saw us.
“Finally, I told William I need an assistant for years now,” he says with a sigh of relief.
“Welcome your new blue, her name is, what’s your name again angel of mercy?” she says, she thinks she’s funny and all, but the joke is on her.
“My name is Angel,” I say with a big smile on my face, Thalia’s smile dropped then.
“I love her already,” Logan says looking at me.
“You can leave now Thalia, I’ll take care of my Angel now,” he says looking at me with a sweet smile.
(Thalia! you shorty HAHHH! Hehehe, hope you enjoy this story so far! Love Cinderella)
