Aurora "Rory" Henry is a 20 year old human runaway. After escaping her mother's manipulative hands along with her fathers short temper she finds herself in a new territory, but to her it's just another state. All she wanted was to get her degree in...
Okay so I have went back and changed the cafe owners age range from 'old' to middle age as I wanted to add another character involving them at some point and making them slightly younger fits better. Plus I wanted to cast Julie Bowen and Randall Park as them
Rory's POV
"Rory!" My head snaps up to look at my sister and her girlfriend. "What did I just say" she stares deep into my soul. I look over and make eye contact with Rico who begins to mouth the answer to Monica's questions. Only issue is that I couldn't understand in time before Monica swung her head round and glared into who she deemed a traitor.
"U-uh... you were saying about Damien and Dominic?" I guess, usually when Monica is complaining it involves one or both of our brothers.
"Yes and what about them?" She questions further. I look back at Rico who is now staring down at the ground avoiding my eye.
I let out a sigh knowing I'm defeated. "I'm sorry Mon, you caught me I wasn't listening..." I fold my arms over my chest and lean back on the chair I'm sat on. I look around at the little cafe owned by Rick and Evelyn, it's very aesthetically pleasing to say the least, it has a 1950's theme to it but it's very subtle and I hadn't even picked up on it when I first came here. I'm in love with the pink and red colour palette that is supported by white undertones.

"Well that much is obvious when I was actually asking how your milkshake was" Monica huffed. One of her biggest pet peeves about me growing up was how much I would daydream especially when she was talking.
I glance down at my untouched strawberry milkshake that Evelyn had nicely delivered 5 minutes prior. I lean over and place the straw in my mouth and take a sip humming in approval. I gently pluck the fresh strawberry Rick had added on top especially for me and take a bite.
"Strawberry will never not be my favourite" I hum swallowing the fruit.
We spend the rest of the time in the cafe chatting mainly about my college experience so far, the couple listening intently to my descriptions of my design ideas but talking ceases when a loud alarm sounds from outside.
Rico and Monica's eyes pop out of their heads at the sound of it, looking at each other they jump out of their chairs and then look around at the other people spread around the cafeteria. Confused I sit up straighter also looking around trying to figure out what's going on.
"Come on we need to go" Rico gestures to me so I stand and follow them into the street. Looking around the village people are hurriedly walking along. Most headed in the same direction whereas other seem to be headed towards the woods. It seems rehearsed as though whatever is happening has happened before but it still has a chaotic feel to it. Like this was unplanned. Originally I thought it was maybe like the fire drills you get in schools but this seems way to serious for that.
