Our Last Fight (Rio x OC)

The Meeting That Starts It All

I was walking around the empty lodge, seeing all the furniture gone. What happened here? I turned around as I saw the lights and sirens in the distance. I started running through the halls, trying to find anyone. I heard a noise coming from a room, stopping me on my tracks.

"Hello?" I took a step forward reaching for the doorknob. I jolted over in pain as I touched the knob. I looked down trying to see what happened when I saw the blood spilling from my abdomen.

"Freeze!" Before I could turn around I woke up gasping for air. I looked out the window seeing it was still dark outside. I laid back down trying to go back to sleep but it was no use.

I got up, getting dressed into shorts and a long sleeve before sneaking out of the house. It felt nice the cool air against my damp skin. I started running, putting my headphones on to block out any unnecessary noise. Once my leg started stinging with every step, I started heading back home.

"Crap I have the interview," I stopped catching my breath checking the time. I ran back home heading straight for the shower to clean away the dirt.

As I dried my hair, Beth entered the room. "Hey, I heard you leave earlier," Beth was looking down as she played with her fingers. "Did you go see... um," It was still taking her some time to get used to everything, and I dont blame her but its a hell of a start.

I giggled turning around to see her face, "no, I went for a jog couldn't sleep,"

"Ok, I'm gonna go take the kids to school, let me know how the interview goes, "She left, calling the kids out.

I greeted the customer who was leaving, before walking up to the front desk. The girl smiled greeting me.

"Hi i'm Chloe Marks i'm here for..."

"Oh My God, yes, Ms. Marks, Leandra is taking care of someone she'll be right out" I nodded sitting down in one of the chairs as she finished.

Once she walked out, I stood up again smiling at her. "Hi Chloe it's nice to meet you"

"I'm so happy, you were still available for the job,"

"I'm happy you guys called,"

"Our receptionist is going into maternal leave meaning i'll be training you," She grabbed a folder as she looked back at me. "every once in a while, you could help me make appointments until we can get another person," I followed her into a room. This must be where she examined the pets.

"That'd be great I was also wondering I'm in school now training to be a vet and I was wondering if you were willing to train me a few and let me put in hours for the school requirement"

"Of course I wouldn't mind" She smiled to me, before explaining more of the items.

When I drove to the warehouse I saw there was another black SUV parked behind the trees. I parked in the other side walking inside. It was full of people, some I don't recognize.

Going to the left I walked towards the stairs to see Rio. I wasn't even sure if he wanted to see me, maybe I'm the last thing he wants to see.

Carlos blocked my way and deja vu hit me. "We've been through this before,"

"I'm sorry, but boss man said no one is to come up," I huffed looking up but not being able to hear or see anything.

"You sure he just doesn't want to see me?" Carlos stayed silent confirming my suspicion.

"Well, he's coming out now so we'll see," I gestured behind him distracting him, I ducked under him moving forward and getting past him before sprinting towards the door. He was not gonna ignore me this way.
