Fan Fiction ❯ Silent Prayers ❯ everything is so new (chapter seven) ( Chapter 7 )

Aldria caught herself just sitting there on the floor silently crying, she had no idea how long she had been there but she knew that she had to leave before anyone noticed she was gone. Within a few minutes she looked normal and was already very close to the brake room where Nummair was waiting. The door opened just as she was reaching for the handle, Nummair stood in front of her with a shocked look on his face. "Oh I was just about to go look for you." He mumbled.

With the nod of his head Nummair led the way to the front of the building and a black convertible. The convertible was a newer model, and with the way that Nummair approached it he was the proud owner. Without so much as a voiced opinion Aldria followed Nummair into the car, there really wasn't much to say.

Normally car rides are shared with at least some speech but having already dealt with the `ice queen' of speech Nummair thought better of it to turn on the radio. Station flipping turned out to be a favorite of his and soon Aldria was questioning how she could get away with murder. Before her thoughts could get any deeper Nummair pulled into a parking garage and quickly found a spot with his name on it.

Looking around Aldria noticed that each spot had a name and most had cars already parked in the spot but before she could make a more complete searched of the parking lot Nummair was clearing his throat. "Here are the keys to your apartment," he said handing over a set of simple keys. "and here are the keys to your new car." His voice stayed the same as he handed over another set of keys.

"Wait a minute. I get a new car? I liked my old car, and my old apartment!" Aldria nearly screamed which seemed to cause Nummair to slightly flinch.

For a moment Nummair didn't say a word instead he got out of the car seemingly trying to figure out what to say. "Let me show you to your car, parking spot, and apartment." Nothing seemed to have changed with his voice but his back was turned to Aldria who had nearly jumped out of the convertible.

Nummair's strides were quick but easy to catch up to as Aldria quickly learned. He led her to a blood red Ferrari that was parked in her spot, sure she liked the car who wouldn't, but this car had been given to her by Oric. "I liked my car more!" She snapped unable to control her outburst.

Nummair rolled his eyes and walked away motioning for Aldria to follow him again. Aldria noted that all of the parking spots around her were meant for Oric's pets which wasn't a very reassuring thought. When the two of them had finally made it to the elevator Nummair turned to her. "Each floor only has two rooms; you and I share a floor now. The second floor, what you need to do is put your key in the elevator and press on the number two button, without the key you won't go anywhere. Also you can only go to the second floor, ground level, and the ninth floor, the ninth floor is a spa type room which has free access to everyone."

Following Nummair's instruction Aldria worked to get the elevator moving, it didn't take very long to get to the second floor. Both Nummair and Aldria spilled out of the elevator to find themselves in a kitchen which would have to be shared between the two of them. Other then the kitchen Nummair and Aldria had their own separate rooms; above each door was a name plate and a key whole to prevent the other from going into their room. It was built for ultimate privacy which was just what Aldria needed at the moment, although she would prefer her old place and car a hundred times over.

Walking into her owns rooms were a little sad, everything was black and white, the only color that there was, was a deep blood-red that Oric seemed to think fit her. There was a sitting room with a giant television and bookshelf, off of that was a door that led to a bedroom. The queen bed had a velvet red comforter on it, the carpet was a wooden floor and the walls were white. A door ran off from the room that held a simple white bathroom with a likewise simple shower.

There was a walk in closet that held all of the clothing that had been forced onto Aldria, it looked as if she had set everything up, all of her videos and books were in the apartment. Everything minus her old clothes were in the new apartment. It was a little chilly to know that someone had gone through everything she owned, there was no clue who had moved her things or what they could have found.

Aldria was growing tired, she knew her limits, it was almost ten o'clock and she needed some rest. After a hectic moment in her closet she found a nice pair of pajamas to wear, it was a pant set. A silk one, it was white with a black sakura blossom design on it. The top had a block of black lace on it; the whole thing was very Asian. Aldria slipped into her new bed and was quickly asleep.
