Chapter 1: Lab Girl
"Again!? She escaped again!?"
"Y-Yes Sir she slipped passed the guards again..."
"Find her! Send every available staff!"
The man in the lab coat then pressed the red button guarded by a glass cover making everyone aware of the situation. All the guards and scientist left the building in search of her.
Meanwhile in the city...
A tall man with long blonde hair tied up into one ponytail walked down a dark street at night. He carried a large brown briefcase which contained all his work and wore a smart yet stylish brown suit. He continued to walk until he came across a long dark alleyway and he froze in his spot. Ever since he moved to that city that alleyway was the one place that sent shivers down his spine. Even though he had to walk down it to get to his house his instincts told him that it was a bad idea despite the fact that nothing had ever happened to him down there.
He slowly turned to face the ally before taking a deep breath and carefully striding down it. It was dark and impaired his vision so he could practically see nothing, he had to keep walking. He heard a noise and stopped in place. He listened carefully but everything was silent. He was about to take another step and carry on walking when something heavy landed on him causing him to fall flat on the ground. He then felt two more things which felt like hands pinning his arms down with the first still on top of him making him unable to move. He looked up to find a teenage boy holding a torch and gun pointing at him, he could now also see that it was three more boys pinning him down and another had stolen his briefcase.
"Afuro Terumi" said the one inspecting his briefcase who had now found the name tag.
"Get off me!" Afuro shouted at them but they just tightened their grip.
"Now Now Afuro-San let's not attract any attention shall we?" said the one with the gun waving it slightly to make sure he knew it was there.
They continued to search him taking anything they considered valuable.
"Please God help me get out of this!" Afuro prayed in his head with his eyes closed. He then heard a noise like someone fell and he opened his eyes. The one standing watch was now lying on the ground covered in bruises and completely worn out. The rest of them stopped searching him and looked around. Another loud thud and the one searching his briefcase was down just like the first. They all began to panic and before they could get up the three that were holding Afuro were down. Only the one with the gun remained.
"Show yourself!" he shouted pointing the gun everywhere in every direction.
That's when it happened. I figure jumped down from the sky but you could only see long luminous blonde glowing hair, bright red eyes and what appeared to be white feathery wings. The figure dropped down in between Afuro and the thug. The thug shined his flash light onto the figure revealing a young girl who resembled a young Afuro. She giggled and he shot the gun but the girl seemed to have vanished and then reappear behind the thug. With one sharp blow the thug was knocked out and Afuro safe. He carefully stood up and gathered up his papers and work.
He then walked up to the girl and took a closer look. His first inspection had been correct, she did look just like him when he was 14 except for the fact the she was wearing a plain white dress.
"Thank you for helping me" He said to her "What's your name?"
"Name?" She said looking confused
"You know what people call you, my name is Afuro Terumi but everyone calls me Aphrodi"
"Aphrodi, the Greek goddess of love" she said smiling " umm I hear people at the lab and they call me Experiment 1 or E1" She replied looking slightly sad.
"Lab, experiment? How did you end up in a lab, your only young?!" He said look worried
"I've been in the lab for as l can remember"
"How long do you think that is?"
"Hmm about two weeks?"
"You can only remember from two weeks ago!?" he said shocked
"Yea I hate it there, all they do is run tests on me and keep me locked up in my room!"
They then people running about calling out for her and they were getting close.
"Oh no there here to take me back again!" she said scared
Aphrodi looked at the scared little lab girl in front of him and made a big decision that would change everything.
"Come with me, I'll keep you safe from them" He said
"R-Really?!" She said hopefully
"You saved me, the least I can do is return the favor" He replied holding his hand out.
"T-Thanks" She said taking his hand and they began to run.

"Here we are" Said Aphrodi standing outside a gleaming white mansion.
"Wow you live here!?" The young girl exclaimed.
"Yes and now you do too" he said smiling and leading her inside.
A butler greeted them at the door "Welcome home Sir, may I ask who this might be?" he said looking at the girl.
"Oh err this is my new daughter, I adopted her today"
"Ahh may I ask for her name"
"Oh umm" said Aphrodi struggling
"Harmonia!" exclaimed the girl "My name is Harmonia!"
"Ahh what a beautiful name, welcome to the Afuro household. My name is Toma and I am the head butler"
"Nice to meet you" Harmonia replied
He then left leaving them alone.
"Why Harmonia?" Aphrodi asked
"Well if you're Aphrodi like the one from Greek mythology then I'm Harmonia the daughter of Aphrodi"
"You know a lot about Greek mythology"
"For me that's common knowledge"
"You must be very smart then"
"That's what the scientists said"
"Oh... Well you must be tired, get some rest" he said showing her to her new room.
It was a plain white room and not much had been done to it.
"Goodnight and I will see you in the morning" said Aphrodi
"Night!" she said jumping into her new soft and cozy bed.
