Chapter 1 – Another Day At Work
"I'm sorry Lea; I'm going to have to ask you to stop assisting us with our experiments."
"What the hell Ansem! Are you firing me?!" I bellowed.
"No 'Firing' sounds more like your mood" Ansem gestured while fiddling with an empty test tube with his hand.
"Stop joking around!"
"See that's your problem Lea. You're too reckless. You love screwing with other people but when someone does it to you, you can't take it. Hehe sometimes you almost turn as red as your hair!"
"Hmph, whatever old man, your eye sight is no where near as good as it used to be" I began to squint my eyes in retaliation.
"They don't call me Ansem the Wise for nothing you know. You don't think Lea, and that's exactly why I've decided to remove you from the group."
"Fine then, have it your way Ansem. But you'll be crawling back to me sooner or later."
The lab door suddenly opened to reveal a young scientist with long blonde hair.
"What is it Even?" Ansem demanded.
"It's the dark energy disturbance we were studying earlier. It's back, and this time it's taken a physical form!"
"Maybe it's taken the form of your face Even?" I joked.
"Oh Lea your still here... I recall Ansem removing you from the group, am I right?" a devious grin began to reveal itself on Even's face.
"Am I right?!" Even boastfully repeated himself, one of the many things I despised about him.
I struggled for a second to find the words to strike him with…but then realised I had none, so I stroke with my fist instead. Even lost balance immediately and crashed to the ground while holding his ugly face in pain. "Sticks and stones can break your bones, but fists work so much better" I chuckled at the expression on his face.
"Arghh! You little punk! How dare you!" cussed Even
"Enough of this!" demanded Ansem.
"There is much work to be done. I suggest you leave Lea."
"Hehe fine, I've had enough fun for one day anyway. Later Even, don't worry the black eye suits you!"
