Falling Down Under

Chapter 2.

Chapter 2.

The rugged seats provided an uncomfortable journey. Each girl sat quietly blocking out the sounds of some strangled country singer blaring from the radio. The sun began to disappear revealing the illuminating rays of the full moon. As the night drew closer so did the city of Melbourne. More traffic filled the roads the noise invading the peaceful air.

Roland, slumped peacefully at the wheel, his dark dreadlocks hung loose round his neck patterened by red beads and flurescent braids. His darker colouring suggested a native background however he was young and obviously out for adventure.

"Hey, Roland could you dropus off in Victoria please?" Lucie moaned from the backseat. She had slept most of the journey and was surprised at the quick arrival.

Skip, who had hung back for most of the journey perked up. "That's where we are headed too, but seriously how could you sleep on this thing? I'v tried for like the last 5 days and well.." Yawning he continued his sentance. "I'm shattered!"

"I can sleep anywhere thanks" Lucie replied gruffly while assorting her belongings.

"Your a strange one" Skip smirked back as they slowly stopped at a pair of grand corregated gates. "Well it was fun riding with you dudes but we best be off, looks like you don't need us anymore, bye Kids!" Roland procliamed while revving up his engine.

Each girl grabbed their bags quickly, waved a goodbye to the boys and ushered themselves up the stone steps to ring the doorbell of this grand mansion.

"They were so nice! i hope we see them around" Tara exclaimed while fumbling around with a plastic box.

"Um...tara what the hell have you got in that box? It's been scratching and scuffling all day" Amy queried as Tara cursed silently at its hidden contents.

"Um...nothing that concerns you thanks" The snide of her tone could not be dismissed. Amy threw a face of disgust at Tara while moving to the other side of Lucie who by now had managed to heave her asortment of suitcases up onto the porch.

The grand wooden door bellowed open, as a tall, plump woman greeted their arrival. "Well good evening girls, I was hoping you would arrive soon, come on in and we will sort out your rooms and basic house rules. I am Mrs McGreedy but you can all call me Dora!"

"Dora the fucking explorer.." Shauna muttered silently under her breath.

The cool air pricked the back of their necks as the door closed shut behind them. Tomorrow would be a new day.
