Chapter I
Deep was awakened by the pain of Rudolf's tossing a small rock on his head. Wincing in pain, he glanced at the clock on the windowsill. "The hell is your problem?" he demanded. "It's two in fucking morning and I'm trying to sleep until at least four." The ninja look at his friend who held his head in pain. "Shall I be spared if I reawaken you at that hour?" Deep glared at him. "I refuse to let you live if you continue to be my alarm clock." Unlike his friend, Rudolf was a bit of a comic and a real wiseass.
Outside of the shack, Louis could hear a the sound of a refrigderator being thrown. "Heh. That sounds worse than the time Freeze threw a piano at Dennis." He muttered to himself. "Hey! Nice job Davis, my tuna casserole was in there!!" Katie yelled. Deep and his four roommates, Rudolf, Henry, Davis and Woody, lived with his sister. "Casseroles are evil!" Rudolf shrieked in terror. "I'll pretend you didn't say that." Katie said. "You guys aren't really morning people are you?" joked Louis as he walked in. "Five and a half hours till sunrise and you're already beating the shit out of each other." "And you're up because?" There was a note of suspicion in Davis's voice. "No reason." Louis shrugged "Insomnia I guess." No one bothered to point out that insomnia was only possible if you were trying to get to sleep. The boys and Katie stared, then Katie pulled her long brown hair back into a ponytail. "Well now that I'm up I might as well go for a walk." "Me too." Davis said immediately "Back off casserole terrorist!" she growled dangerously.
From his perch in a tree in the Lion Forest, Henry watched the mouse on the grass below. Holding his bow and arrow steady, he took aim and fired. Dark red blood gushed from the mouse's eyes, nose and ears as soon as the shot hit it square in the head. Easy snack for Toby. He thought. He was on the lookout for anything threatening. Suddenly through the trees on Queen's Island he saw it. It was a flash of light that went off like a firecracker. Uh-oh, he thought. This is bad.
