Three days later.

Mercedes groaned slightly as she opened her eyes. She set up straight and stretched. Her eyes wondered to the space next to her. She chuckled to herself at the sight of the completely naked woman who wrapped up in the blanket next to her. Mercedes slowly climbed out of bed trying her hardest not to wake her up. She failed. Oriena shuffled and stretched once she set up. The blanket fell down exposing her bare chest. Mercedes gave her a smile as she got dressed.

"Sleep okay?"

Oriena softly moaned a satisfaction of waking up. She smiled.

"Actually yes.. a real bed.. God I forgot how much I missed these..."

Mercedes nodded in approval. She gave a dry laugh.

"Yeah. I mean I was only sleeping on those shitty excuses for a bed for a week, but I can only imagine how you felt being there longer."

Oriena laughed. Mercedes turned to her after she brushed her hair. 

"Okay pretty lady. Get dressed so you can come with me. I gotta start working."

Oriena  smiled and stepped out of bed. She looked around. Mercedes laughed and shook her head.

"I'm sorry. I forgot.. you don't have any clothes right now."

Mercedes rummaged through the dresser. She turned back to Oriena and her eyes scanned her form. 

"Hmm..."

Mercedes turned back to the dresser and pulled out a black and red Marilyn Manson t-shirt with some black skinny jeans that were ripped up the front. She smiled.

"You look to be about the size I was before I got pregnant. Sorry if I assumed wrong.. I hope this fits.. Is Marilyn Manson okay..?"

Oriena's eyes grew wide.

"Are you kidding?! Marilyn Manson is perfect! And these look like the right size."

Mercedes smiled and nodded in approval when the outfit fit Oriena. She followed Mercedes through the building until they made it to girls' locker room. The woman who worked at the club turned around with a smile. Mercedes gave them a cheerful wave.

"Good morning ladies! This is my new friend Oriena. I was hoping you guys could use this morning to show her around. Just so she can know how to get around this place."

One of the women smiled and grabbed Oriena's hand. She turned to Mercedes. Mercedes nodded.

"Go ahead. I just have some business to work out this morning, but I'll still be in the building if you need me."

Mercedes left Oriena with the rest of the women to go and find Elijah. He smiled once she found him. 

"You said you needed to talk to me Elijah?"

He nodded and held out a key.

"I found the key."

Mercedes stared at him completely confused. She didn't understand what the key had to do with anything.

"The key? I didn't know we were looking for one.."

Elijah laughed.

"This is the key to your mom and dad's secret office here. They always kept it locked."

Mercedes' eyes widened. 

"Take me please."

"I figured you would want to get in there." 

Mercedes quickly followed Elijah. He unlocked the door and Mercedes took a deep breath. 

"Open it.."
