The Changeling Prophecy

The Humans (Mia)

We look at each other and run to the door we came out of. We knock on it and slap it. An old woman answers. "Do you need anything?" She asks angrily. "Oh um no sorry" I respond. We back up and she closes the door. "Great 5 years" I say throwing my hands in the air. "It won't be that bad" Aislon argues. I look at him my mouth agape. "Aislon we need money. Jobs" I reason. "True" he says. I run my fingers through my hair and sigh. Aislon puts an arm around my shoulders. We walk like that until we find a bench. We sit down and I put my head on his shoulder. He rests his chin on the top of my head. He runs his fingers through my hair. "What are we going to do?" I ask him. I feel him shake his head. A single tear streams down my face.
Soon there are hundreds of tears streaming down my face. People look at us. "Mia come on. We will figure it out" he says pulling away from me and placing his hands on my shoulders. He shakes me as he says that. "I know but what about our friends" I argue. "They can fend for themselves" he says. I give him a small smile and grab the back of his head and pull him close. I kiss him gently. He smiles at me. "That made it a lot nicer" he says and we laugh.

We wander around the town. We pass a retail store. "I think I would like to work here" I say and walk in. It was amazing the amount of clothes that were there. We walk up to the counter. "Are you hiring?" I ask the girl behind the counter. "Always" she replies with a smile. She gestures for me to follow and I do leaving Aislon. "Just through here. Oh and I'm Diandra if you need anything" she says with a smile. I nod and she leaves. I stand outside the door she showed me with my hands clasped. After about twenty minutes of waiting a girl walks out looking sad. I watch her leave. "Are you coming in?" A male voice asks. I jump. "Oh yes" I say and follow him in. The room isn't big but it's decent. A desk with stuff like pictures and pencils sits towards the back. There are chairs on either side of it. "Please sit down" he gestures towards the chair. It is black with poofy things on the back and the seat. It's strange. I sit down nicely so I do ruin it. "So you want a job?" He asks clasping his hands on top of the desk. I nod enthusiastically.

"Yes"

"Do you have experience?"

"No!" I smile.

He nods. "Ok" he says writing something down. "Please leave your phone number here and we will get back to you" he says with a smile. I panic. "Uhh I have no phone" I say with a smile. "Cell phone?" I shake my head. "That's why I need this job" I say improvising. "I see well I'll just give it to you. Come tomorrow at 7:00 AM" he stand handing me a piece of paper. "Thank you!" I say. I leave the office pretty pleased with myself.

We walk down the sidewalk. "So?" Aislon asks me putting his hands in his pockets. "Start tomorrow at 7:00" I say with a big smile. "Mia that's great!" He says and hugs me. I hug him back and squeal. "And I found someone who will let us stay in their basement" Aislon said looking sideways at me. "Really who?" I ask. "Diandra. Really nice of her" he says. I am very happy. This may just work.

I'm so happy I don't even think about how he managed to convince her to let us stay.
