Hi guys, I am re writing this story. because I was small when I first start writing this. This is going to be different than the first story I wrote. please read guys.

Interview

Chapter 1

Sunburns her back. She walks fast as quickly as possible towards The Natural History Museum. She unlocks her phone to see the time. She wide her eyes. She is four minutes late for her interview. She felt so stupid about herself.

"if I wake early, none of this would happen." She said to herself.

She ran towards the Natural History Museum. At first, it was hard for her to find the place. All the buildings around the street look Ancient. lucky for her. She saw a horse statue with a rider on it.

"Finally"

She slowly climbs up the stairs and walks towards the main door.

"Hey, where are you going. wait, wait. Stop Lady."

Suddenly she heard a male voice shouting from behind. She looks back and saw an annoying looking face of a nightguard. But his face didn't stop her for a second. She ran inside to the museum without stopping.

"HEYYYYYYYYY" the guard scream and follow behind her. "Stop miss"

She pretends like she couldn't hear him. At the moment she can't stop, she can't waste another few minutes. She stands in front of the receptionist table decorated with a large globe. while breathing heavily. the girl who sits behind it smile with her.

"Hi'' she said, ''how can we help you, Miss," she asked.

Camellia POV

"Hi, I am Camellia White. and I am here as an Art Designer for the job interview"

I said as fast as I can. the guard who ran after me quits when he heard what I said. he glares at me and turns his back on me. I seems like I found my first enemy in the town. A night guard. The receptionist girl gazes back at me with a smile.

"Hi, my name is Annie. Welcome to the Museum of Natural History, Miss. Earlier this morning Mr McPee told me about you. please come this way, Miss. you are six minutes late." she said and ask me to follow her.

I look around while walking behind her. The place is larger than I thought. The only thing drag my interest is the old T Rex skeleton that fixed in the middle. it didn't take me a second to notice how quiet the place is. No one is around. I wonder why is that.

"Miss White, we are here. please wait until Mr. brook comes out"

Annie said and point her finger towards the half-open wooden door. I try to look inside but I couldn't do it unnoticed when Annie is closed by.

"Who is Mr Brook? Annie. Is he a worker?"

I ask Curiously.

"Oh no. Mr Brook is here for the Job Interview too. just like you" Annie said politely.

Dammit. I roll my eyes. Does that mean I came all this way for nothing? I secretly glared at the man who sits on the other side of the door. God please don't give him the job. I pray. After a few more minutes of silence, the wooden decorated door in front of me open. a man around middle age came out with sad expressions in his eyes.

"Mr Brook, How is the meeting?" Asks Annie.

Mr Brook shakes his head sadly and left without a word. I stare back at his back. It seems like he didnt got the job.

"Miss White, You are next, Mr McPhee is waiting for you," Annie said and held the door for me.

I close my eyes for a second to gather my thoughts. this is going to be a long day. I don't think I can have this job at all. I mean look at that man. he looks so creepy when he came out. But still, I have to give a try. I am ready more than ever.

...

"Hi Mister McPhee, my name is Camellia White, "

I said and gave my hand to Mcphee. he holds it and shakes it with a fake smile in his face.

"Hello, Miss White, please take a seat."

I did as he asks and gave him my file. He nodded and open my file to read it.

To my artistic eyes, Mcphee's face looks like a turtle head pops out from its shell. I try hard not to laugh at my own thoughts. The man looks serious than I thought.

"So miss white, you are 28 years old?" He asks with another fake smile.

"Well, yes I am sir,"

I said politely. I wonder why he asks that. Its already on the file. Did he think that I am too young for this job? Because if it is, that reason is a pathetic one.

"You work at the National Art Gallary too?" he asks.

"Well yes. I start my first Job in The National Art Gallary as an Apprentice. and I work in there for like 3 years. the first year as an Apprentice. and the next two years as an art designer and a painter" I said politely.

Mcphee shakes his head and slowly start to bite his lip.

"You don't have parents?" Suddenly he asks.

I nodded. Is that important?. But from his eyes, I can say that he is not interested in my past at all. I don't like when people ask about my parent's death at all. but if he is going to be my new boss I have to answer everything he asks.

"Well...When I was 12, My Parents died from a car crash. And after that, I left the city and start to live with my grandma back in her home town" I said politely again.

"What did you do after your left high school," he asks.

I smile. this is funny. I thought. Mcphee has my file. and he can see what I did after I left school. I start to think a bit. I can't tell him that I falling in love with a guy who dumps me...

"Well, I learn to paint and designing after I left my school sir, that information is already on the file," I said with a small smile.

"Very well Miss White. we need you to reprint some artefacts in here, well not all of them are ancient." Mcphee said. "some of them are made in the present time. but it's been a while and the colours are fading away. and I hope you know what I mean when I say this."

I nodded, I know what he means.

"I ones repaint an art in a church wall. I know how to do that and what to use to do that." I said like a brainy.

"That's good to hear Miss White. and one more thing. we need new arts too"

"Of cause, I love to draw new things"

Mcphee shakes his head again and smile. This time his smile looks real. it seems like he starting to like me. well, that's good. because I really need this job.

"Do you know what is this place is?" McPhee suddenly asks looking direct at my eyes.

"Yes sir this is the Natural History Museum," I said politely.

McPhee closes his eyes and exhales a huge breath.

"Then do you know the first rule in here?" he asks again.

I stare at his annoying face before answering that. what is going on in here? did he want me in or not?

"Well, no sir," I said calmly. but from inside, my heart starts to beat so fast.

"our first rule is to keep every historical treasure in this museum safely. and can you do that.?" He asks.

I stare at his face for another few seconds. does this mean he wants me to do the job? great.

"I understand sir," I said slowly with a smile.

"Very well then. I hire you." He said suddenly and close the file in front of him.

I wide my eyes in surprise. did he just said he hired me?. I can't believe this. does that mean I got the job?. oh my gosh wow.

"You can start your work from tomorrow. and I write your payments details in this letter." Mcphee gave me a small letter. and I read it with brightness in my eyes. nice.

"Thank you ," I said.

"Well start your work from tomorrow. I tell Annie to show you around" Mcphee said while returning my file back to me.

"I don't know what to say . I am so glad because you hire me" I said politely.

well, he doesn't know about my money problems. but he shakes his head and approves my thoughts.

...

I came out from McPhee's office with a smile that can brighten up the day. the salary is better than I thought. I look at the rounded old clock hang on the plain wall behind the statue of Theodore Roosevelt. It's 4. 30 pm and my day end with happiness. This is a miracle. I thought while walking towards Annie. working in a museum was my childhood dream. I love history and painting more than anything. and at the moment I couldn't find any perfect job for my talents. most people use graphics software these days. and I use them too. but I still love to paint by my arm.

"Congratulations Miss white," Annie said and gave me a friendly hug.

"Please call me Camellia, Cam anything you like, " I said as a jock.

Annie smiles and holds my hand.

"Mr Mcphee ask me to show you around. and I think we still have some time before the closing time" Anni said and drag me with her.

I wide my eyes in surprise. did she say the closing time? I look around. but no one is here to be seen. where are the people?. wait a second. I did not see anybody when I walk in. that's weird. is this mean no one is visiting this place?.

"Annie where are the people?," I ask to be sure.

Annie looks away from me.

"Well no one is coming here anymore Cam," She said sadly. "they think this place is boring and dark"

"But this is a museum, Annie, Well museums are always dark," I said as a jock. I don't want to see her sad face. not on my first day in here.

"Hahaha. well, that's why Mr. Mcphee hired you. so you can paint and lighten up the place" She said with a smile.

I smile back at her thought. this sounds crazy. now I have to paint in a place that no one can see my art. I never knew that this place was so abandoned by people. I even saw the dustiness and spider webs on the walls.

"well this is the main area, Cam," Annie said and point her finger towards the front part of the museum.

I stare at the view. well, the front part is covered with paintings and the T Rex in the middle of the room.

"And that's Larry, our new night guard, " Annie said and pinch me. I smirk back at her. both of us remember the way he ran after me to the museum.

"We have all the sections in here," she said again.

"That is the Indian section, and that one is Asien, and the whole corridor separates into rooms and the Egypt section is the one that in front of you"

"Wow," I said and walk into the Egypt section.

The whole place is covered with golden paint statues and Egyptian art painted in golden walls. It even smells like Egypt. But what surprises me the most is the Mummy inside the room. I ran to it and sat next to it on the floor. Is it real or fake I thought?

"wow, please don't tell me this is fake. because this look so real" I said.

"It not a fake one Cam. That mummy belongs to child Pharaoh Aahkmenrah," Annie said and sat beside me on the floor. We both stare at the decorated coffin.

"I heard about him. I heard he was found near the Pyramids of Giza with a Tablet." I share some knowledge that I know about him from history class.

"Well yes. and that is the tablet you are talking about. The Tablet of Ahkemanrah" Annie point her fingers towards golden box fixed on the wall.

I stare at it with amazement. it's fully covered with gold. and nobody doesn't know how to read the old words in it.

"I wonder how he really looks like when he was alive," Annie said and winked.

I laugh after I heard what she said.

"Well you know, I am sure he was fully cover with beautiful makeup and golden crown," I said as jock

"Ya with majestic clothes and a handsome body," Annie said and giggled.

"Annie, we are talking about a 4000 years old child Pharaoh," I said and smile with her. then suddenly we both start to laugh at our thoughts.

"well, still he is older than us. I wonder how old he is when he is dying"

"I think around 25, or, 26, "I said without thinking. actually there is nothing to think. I don't know his real age.

Annie laughs and slowly touch a painting of the Pharaoh. I touch it too. even it is wrong to touch the national treasure. I really want to know the painting type.

"Well Cam, it's 5 pm. now its the closing time. we have to leave before Larry pops up again" Annie said and hold my arm.

"What is the hurry," I said and stand. I don't want to leave this place yet. I don't know what is in the other sections.

"Oh come on Cam. this place looks so weird when it's dark" Annie said and ask me to follow her.

I stare at the old mummy for last time.

...

Annie went inside to bring her bag. I look around one more time and decide to leave the place. I never thought that the museum Is this huge. the whole place is separated into sections. Indien, American, British, Egypt and many more. I wonder what Mcphee wants me to paint in the first place.

"Okay, Okay Nick I am Sorry. Ill. well... Nick wait."

I suddenly heard the voice of Larry the guard. he has a touch in his trouser and a badge pin on his shirt. I smile at him when he turns his face toward me. he saw me gave me a half-smile.

"Hey, sorry for this evening. I didn't know you came for an interview" He said with a huge rush in his voice.

I smile with him and shake his hand.

"Oh, it's fine. anyway, I am Camellia. Camellia White"

"Oh. well, I am Laurence but you can call me Larry, I am a night guard" he said with an annoyance in his voice.

"Does that mean You are staying here at night?. wow. that sounds cool" I said as a jock.

But suddenly Larry's facial expressions change. and it reminds me of an Onion. He Exhales a huge breath and stares at the evening sky.

"Yaa," he said slowly. "Well Camellia I think you should go home now"

He said looking at his watch. "It's getting late"

"ya, I think so too. Bye then. See you tomorrow Larry"

I said and waved at him. He only shakes his head and walks away. I came out with Annie.

"Wow this place is weird"
