"Some may call it a curse
Others, a blessing.
This life, is certainly a lonely one.
But, it's the choices we make,
That define us.
If we fall, we fall together.
We are the crusaders.
We walk in the shadows, to serve the light"
"Lab work…" a man grumbles to himself as he attempts to race through the hallway, trying to get to his laboratory quickly. It's not without any trouble however, and his quick blunder costs him. He crashes into a person who has just rounded a corner in the hallway and he tumbles to the ground in a less than graceful fashion.
"Hey, sorry about tha…" he starts, then pauses to look at who he ran into. A mid-length white female was quickly getting to her knees after falling to the floor. The man stops to glance at the female, noticing her layered and dyed black hair, and a set of nose and ear piercings.
"Let me help you" the man starts and bends down, getting on one knee and helping to pick up the young woman's papers and file folders. The young woman organized her papers quickly and quietly once everything was picked up and she stood, and looked at the man in front of her for a second before tearing her gaze away.
"Sorry about that. I'm a little bit clumsy when I'm in a rush to my lab. I don't always pay attention…" he said, then paused and went quiet, a hand rubbing the brown hair on his head.
"Can I get your name…?" he asked politely, not wanting to be rude although he was in a rush to get to his lab. He wanted to hear her name, even if he never saw her again. He thought it would be nice to get her name, although he understood if she was embarrassed after the fall.
"Raven" she spoke quietly, then went silent for a moment before opening her mouth to speak again.
"What's yours…?" she asked quietly and stretched her hand out as a friendly gesture.
"Tadashi. Tadashj Hamada. Pleasure" the young man spoke, stretching his hand out to meet hers and shaking it. This was an interesting, yet awkward start to their first meeting. Little did he know, that many more would follow.
This is a teaser chapter for my new story :)
