A normal life

Chapter 15: Maylin

Chapter 15, Maylin

When I left the café I couldn't stop myself from blushing bright red after all Charlie had looked so handsome, he even complimented my choice of outfit and style of my hair. Well he tried to but he got tripped up on his own words which was adorable. Shaking my head to get rid of those thoughts, I had to get to work after all I had to find people that would know about these archives and then question them about it. There was just one problem though, I was new to the supernatural world meaning that other than my own clan there was no one else that I knew, well also the Wolven clan but something told me that even if they knew they wouldn't talk to me about it. Just when I thought I would have to start asking random people that I could somehow sense were creatures, my phone went off with a message.
'Hey it's Charlie, I just remember that you are new to this world so I have included a list of different places that are either run by creatures or where creatures like to hang out, you should go to them and I will be asking some friends, just make sure you are careful'
The message was thoughtful but it also showed his worry for me after all when I first ran into a creature it wasn't a good experience. Pulling up a map on my phone to track the addresses that Charlie sent me and it seems that the closest one was a clothing store so I headed there.

"Come in, come in aren't you a cute thing, are you here to browse by yourself? If that's not the case I could pick out the perfect outfit if you want" smiled a woman, who I guessed was the owner of the store.
"Actually I was wondering about a certain delicate clothing line" I said hoping that she would understand what I was trying to tell her.
"But of course I have just the right clothing line, follow me" she smiled once more and I followed her to a dressing room. Said dressing room was actually a hallway that led to an office.
"You must be Maylin the new Aven clan leader, I have heard the rumors and they don't do you justice dear you are quite the beauty, what can I help you with?" she asked with a smile as she sat at her desk.
"Um thank you but I am actually here to try and find something called the Archives, my parents sealed my memories when I was a baby so I don't actually know much about this world so I am hoping that I would be able to learn more about it by finding the archives" I explained to her with half lies.
"Oh you poor dear, no wonder you didn't know how to act without alerting the humans back there" she cooed.
"So do you maybe know about this archive place?" I asked hopefully.
"Sorry darling I don't but I'll tell you what since you're such a cutie if I hear anything I will track you down and pass the information along" she promised.
"Thank you for your time" I said.
"No worries are at all dear, oh and when you want to talk about stuff from our world tell the shop keepers that you wish to discuss an extra special order" she helpfully told me.
"Thanks for the advice and once again thank you for your time" I said.
"Of course make sure to come back, I wasn't lying when I said that I had the perfect outfit for you" she smiled as she waved me off. Well there was nothing at the first shop but there were also still four more shops to check. The next three were a piercing shop, a hairdresser and massage therapist but they were all a bust so there was only one left to check. Sweet rush, which judging from the name of the store was a candy store. I was hoping that they would have some sort of answer or even anything seeing as I hadn't heard anything from Charlie yet and it was starting to get late meaning that the Aven clan would start to worry and question where I have been if I didn't return soon.

"Excuse me sir, I was wondering if I could speak to you about an extra special order?" I asked, politely, to the man behind the counter.
"Sure follow me, Abigail watch the store for me" he called and led me to an office that had a homey feel to it which was surprising since most offices were stiff and formal.
"Now what can I help one so young with?" he enquired.
"Me and my friend are searching for something called the Archives but everyone that we have asked so far doesn't know anything so we are having a tough time finding anything out" I sighed.
"Hm the Archives.....Yes that sounds somewhat familiar though I can't tell you much about it since I don't know much about it myself but I can tell you that the archives is actually split into two different lots of information, that's all I know I don't even know where they are" he told me. It was better than nothing after all this was the first information that I had found all day and now we know that it was split into two different archive rooms not just the one room. After giving the man my thanks and even buying some sweets I left the shop.
