Aria Downfall- Beauty of being free

Normal life

Arias pov:

As I got closer to the doors, I realised who was on the other side. Mrs Var. Older women with pure heart who argued for me to stay here when Mr. Var himself refused to give me an apartment. Still half naked I only slightly open the door. Her soft face that was covered in wrinkles, had a pleased smile spreading across it.

“Aria, you promised that you would stay in the hall longer then 15 minutes.” Of courses she came to talk about the promise I made. I sight and let her into the apartment. She is more stubborn than me and that takes skill.

“I know but my nature doesn’t allow me to just listen to all they nasty stuff those humans and other creatures say about me. “She gives me her disappointment look. “You want me to take their heads off like is nothing?”

She let out big sigh. “I have an ultimatum for you” she took a place at my table as I handed her a glass of water.  I felt my brow go up, it became a habit few weeks ago and I just can’t get rid of it. Quickly taking a space right opposite of her and trying to politely smile so she knows I am listening.

“Tomorrow there is gone be a wolf that is going to  move into apartment 13, she is very hyperactive person if I could say. Due that you are a wolf yourself I thought you could be friends with her.” My smile turns into a death stare. “I know you hate that idea, but that girl is new, and you are new and let’s be honest you have never been around a normal wolf, well besides me.”

“Rose, I don’t do well in communication… “I said as I looked her dead in the eyes, which where dark brown but with little sparks in them that were brighter than a day.

“Don’t bullshit me. I know you had it hard till now. You have scars to prove it, but you need to meet someone your age to live normal life around here. Plus, if you do that you don’t have to join us for morning breakfast in hall.” Like I said stubborn.

“You will not let it go even if I fight you for it. Right Rose?” I loved her, she was like a mother and grandmother I never had or could have. I sighed in defeat. “So what’s her name and age?”

Rose smiled “Hannah and she is 21. So like two year younger then you”

Not that bad, if she was younger, I might have just moved out to avoid this.  “She is moving here tomorrow but what is her story?” rose for the first time in the time that I know her, broke the eye contact with me. Something is not right. Rose knows exactly what happened to me and what I was. “Family problems. I’m gone go help Rob with the clean-up. I will see you tomorrow downstairs at 6 am. “for an older lady she was out of my apartment faster than the people I usually feel like killing.  I didn’t have time to react honestly that women will be the death of me.

My eyes locked on the clock only is 10:30. Where did that hour gone. I quickly jumped into the shower, not forgetting to put the music as loud as I can to annoy all the neighbours on my floor.  After a relaxing shower, I eat what I have left to make a somewhat of a breakfast. Toast and jam, with black coffee on the side.  Guess it is time to get groceries.

After sneaking out from the apartment and past both Mrs and Mr var, I make my way down to my favourite café just to get that ice latte.

Café was very modern, with a small bar and the smell of the place is sweeter then fresh bag of coffee beans, and you inhale a long whiff of it, wanting to enjoy it forever. There are little nooks to sit alone or with other. My eyes lock with the small red headed girl that was making coffee at a bar.  she glance quickly met mine and a her green emerald eyes shined like an diamond. Her fair freckled skin just enhanced her beauty.  She smiled showing a polished white teeth and her hands move quickly making a drink I know very well. Latte with oat milk and double expresso shots.  I quickly made my way through the tables and well all the people that were in the way.

“Ri. There you go. Your usual.” She passed me a plastic cup filled with brown and white liquid.  I pulled out some cash and handed it to her.

“The rest is the tip for you hunny” I politely smiled back. Her eyes sparkled with excitement.  I remember when I first met her few weeks back when she was being assaulted in the back corner street by her ex boyfriend who I may say is still in intensive care after I broke nearly every single bone in his body. She been friend of mine since.  “when you have you finish?”

“In 20 minutes if you want to wait. Your second coffee will be on me.” I nodded my head and quickly turned around to my surprise to meet with a body wall. And the coffee ended up on me. Fuck.fuck f**k.  I heard few gasps and sudden quiet. That never happened. My eyes where still stuck on my burgundy top that had a massive wet spot and I could feel few ice cubes in my bra. Sudden hand with tissues slipped into my vision.

“Ri? You ok?” Ellie sounded concerned. Well of course last time I beat a crap out of one of her customer who accused me of being stupid blind b***h.  My eyes travelled from her troubled face to a man who was at least head taller then me, with well build body. His nearly black eye where drilling holes in mine.  He was deadly handsome. With expensive suit.

“ I’m fine let me just use the toilet to clean it up.” I said grabbing the napkins and slowly pushing past the man.” I’m sorry.” I felt my pulse going up. He had this aura around him. Smell of death, which I knew two well.  I spend ten minutes scrubbing my top trying to get my composure back. f**k.

~”Do you know how to remove the blood of your clothes?” She asked. I shocked  my head. Of course I didn’t, but I got so mad and couldn’t control my wolf. Then I just seen red. “Was that your first time?”. I nodded. I’m only 11. I think. I been too long on the streets to know.

“Who are you?” her eyes blacker then black sparkler with amusement.

“I can be your get away card,12 years sweetheart that’s all I am asking for. After that you are free.” I did believe her.

“Deal.”~

That women showed me different world. Showed me what I really was. Damn it.  78-205. 78. 205. My breathing regulated. Ok I’m fine.  I walked out from the bathroom, still with the wet top but without the ice cubes in my boobs.
