Chapter 1
Fear Co.
The sun rose brightly over the city of Monstropolis, it was another beautiful morning. Emily awoke with a yawn, she climbed out of bed and headed into the bathroom. "Another busy day," she moaned. Emily looked into the mirror, she was a slender light blue reptilian monster with wide eyes and a small narrow face. She had three pairs of arms and only two pairs of legs. Emily had claws that were retractable and used them when she was scaring. Though Emily preferred leaving her claws out most of the time. She also used her frills for scaring, they were down now. They looked more like earrings hanging from both sides of her head. Emily's frills would open up,when she was on the scare floor or sometimes when she became angry. Emily had several long slender gold fronds, which were now messy. "Messy as always," she sighed as she wrapped them up into a ponytail. Emily got her tooth-brush and started to brushed her white sharp teeth.
Emily was finally done after getting ready in the bathroom. She walked into the kitchen and grabbed her car keys, a snack, and her paperwork on the way out of her apartment. Emily headed down the stairs and into the broad daylight. Emily headed inside her car, she set her paperwork down, and ate her snack very quickly. She began to start-up the car, the engine started to rumble until it suddenly gave out. "What? are you kidding me?" Emily said a bit annoyed, she tried starting it up several times. "Don't do this to me please! Ugh!" Emily banged head against the horn, Which sent out loud honk. Emily rubbed her temples and her frills popped up. She just angrily started beeping the horn while cursing out loud. She looked over and saw three little kids gaping at her.
"Oh no, it's not what you think! I was umm...well my car wasn't starting up and...oh just forget everything you heard and I'll buy you some ice scream," Emily waved her hands and breathed heavily. Emily's frills finally came flat against her head. The kids looked at her and they still had their mouths wide open.
"Forget it!" Emily got out of her car and grabbed her paperwork. "I can't be late!" she groaned to herself. "I'm usually never this angry, I also have to explain to some parents now and I have to carry this heavy paperwork. Oh! six arms are just never enough!" she complained to herself. She walked quickly. It took awhile to get to Fear Co, It was farther away then Monsters Inc. was. Emily started to walk up to the company. "Oh I hope I'm not late!" she said desperately, but suddenly bumped into a monster. The paperwork went flying everywhere, Emily gasped and started to grab the flying papers. She looked up and it was none other than Johnny Worthington. "You could at least say you're sorry!" She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Take it easy, apparently you didn't get the memo." Johnny looked at her with a wide smirk. "Fear Co. is shutting down, there was a few incidents involving the other companies."
Emily looked at him with her eyes wide. "F-Fear co. is shutting down..? No! it can't be! what about all the other scarers and everybody else involved!?" she grabbed Johnny's shoulders and started to shake him. "You can't be joking with me now!"
Johnny took her arms from him and held them. "Listen here pretty lady, Fear co. is shutting down. I got a new job at Scream Industries. They have a lot of experienced scarers, I think I'll be top scarer there, like I was here." He said with a satisfied grin.
"I was a good scarer too you know." Emily gave him a glare and her frills started to come up again. She knew how Johnny was like, she couldn't help but have a tiny crush when she started to work at Fear co for the first time.
"Calm your frills down, You might good, but you're not the best." Johnny smiled and brought his face up close, he released Emily's arms and started to walk off. "You might get a job at Monsters Inc. I hear they're looking for some clowns." he laughed.
Emily's frills fell flat and she started to pick up her paperwork off the ground. I can't believe I'm out of a job...I can't believe he called me a clown! Emily sighed as finished picking up her paperwork off the ground, she saw the other members piling out of the company. She looked at them with a sad stare and started to make her way slowly back to her apartment. She started to think about Monsters Inc. She heard a lot on the news what had happened there. She suddenly remembered...Celia! Emily and Celia were friends for a while, but they never had hung out since their university days. "That's it!" Emily said and ran inside her apartment. She grabbed a phone book and started to dial the Monsters Inc. number.
