Chapter 2 : Enter Caira
Hyde slowly, quietly leaned over the right-hand side of his bed, a frown crawled across his face, as he saw a silhouette of a small thin figure, balled up in the corner of his room.
"What the -bloody- fuck are you doing?" He snarled.
Caira looked up in surprise with glazed wide eyes at Hyde, ignoring him and looking back at her paperwork, continuing to write.
"I said"- he got up from his bed, throwing himself on the ground, grunting, "What the bloody fuck, are you doing?" He continued; "My door says fucking knock first!"
"I did." She said bluntly. "You weren't in, so I let myself in."
Hyde stormed over toward her, towering over her as she was huddled up in the corner. "Boss man's looking for you. You hidin' something, girl?" He locked his gaze onto her, a dark expression across his face, obviously trying to intimidate her. She looked up at him, rubbing her eyes, the low-lighting obviously straining her vision. "No, I just needed a quiet place. And this-"
"And this place of all places, you choose this place? Fucking get up." Hyde snarled, grabbing her by the arm. Caira squeaked and squirmed as Hyde put a tight grip on her arm "Hey watch it you big oaf! What's your problem- I just want some place quiet!"
"You're fuckin' trespassing, and I snore, now beat it, brat." He growled, making sure her eyes locked with his one. "This is my place. MY room. You've got a bloody lab, and your own room." He said, his other hand on his face, fingers rubbing his forehead.
"Yeah, I have the lab, and my own room, but I'm awkward today, alright? I need the right environment. Don't you think I tried other people's rooms?" She placed a hand on the arm Hyde had locked around hers.
"You what?" He snorted. "You're one cheeky bugger I'll gi'ya that. Right. Fuck it then." He let go of her arm. "You can stay, but if you so dare touch or screw with anything, I'll deck ye." Hyde stared at her, before storming back off and trying to relax back in his bed. "Oh- and I'll have boss man right on the scene. -If- you fuck up."
"Yeah yeah, take it easy, Mercury man." She glared at him as she snatched her arm back from his painful grip, continuing to write her papers. Caira was obviously a little shaken- exactly what Hyde had intended. Hyde frowned in thought for a moment, letting Caira's "insult" sink in. "Mercury man? The fuck kind of insult is that?" He said, eyeing her down. Caira raised a brow questioningly. "You -are- from Mercury, right?" She seemed confused as to why he questioned her statement. "Yeah? And what? You made it sound like you were trying to offend me." His eye closed, laying back with his arms once again behind his head. Caira ignored his comment, trying to avoid conflict between the two of them.
