Rooming With Reno

Victim One: Elena

Chapter One


Elena was ecstatic! Not only had she been promoted to Turk, but she got to meet Tseng! He had been her idol for years now. He was so cool and collected and he never got angry. He was the ideal Turk, and she wanted to be just like him.

Today, when she had gone to see him. He had told her that is was an honor to have her as a Turk and she had near melted. He had liked her. Not only that, but he had given her a room with another person she had admired.

Reno was the most deadly Turk in their current ranks, and he was younger than her! He was one of the select few to be admitted into the Turks without any prior military training or applying for their ranks. Rumor had it that he had done something amazing to catch the attention of those preceding him and was hired on the spot. He was so good that people didn't even get onto him for not wearing his uniform properly if she'd heard correctly, and she got to room with him!

She pulled the key from her pocket as she walked down the street to her new home. This was exciting. She unlocked the door and slowly opened it to find a surprisingly neat room with a red-head sitting Indian-style on the floor. He had a jack-in-a-box in front of him.

This couldn't be him, could it?

"Um… Excuse me?" she offered timidly, raising a finger.

He ignored her, reaching for the handle on the jack-in-the-box. He began to turn the handle slowly, a tinkering melody playing. Then the end of the song came and out came the clown. That was when 'It' happened.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" He screamed, scuttling away from the clown, a horrified look on his face. He ran behind Elena, continuing to scream and shook with his hands on her shoulders, hiding from it.

'It's alright!" she said, trying to calm him. "It'll be okay!"

It took her twenty minutes to calm him down.

After that, he gave her a short introduction, verifying the fact that he was Reno, and explained that he didn't know there was a clown inside that one and that he wasn't prepared for it. She said she understood and was glad that he was okay with a nervous look before he proceeded to show her around the company housing. It was a small one bedroom house, but it was still nice.

Elena was happy. She was also glad he was over his fear of the box, but what she didn't know was that he would continue to scream at the jack-in-the-box for three more days in fear.


Star Shadow: We'll put up chapter three soon.

Dark Stratos: We already have it half written.

Star Shadow: Don't forget to review, or no new Elena torture!
