Chapter 9: Slow Starts

Monday dawns...

Ike: "Alexis?"

Alexis: "(groaning) Morning already?"

Samuel: "(groaning) Five more minutes..."

Bell: "Nope! You've got school!"

Ike nudges Alexis off of the bed.

Alexis: "(getting up) Okay..."

Alexis gets her stuff together as she heads for the door.

Samuel: "And we've got to help out Shoma."

Alexis: "(sighing) Great Monday so far."

Alexis's day goes by like a snail swimming through molasses, slowly. She and Amanda team up to get Shoma up to speed before the day FINALLY ends.

Shoma: "(exhausted) Help me..."

Lucas: "(groaning) I don't think that we're getting help Shoma."

The three walk into the pharmacy that the others are waiting in, only to face plant.

Chloe: "Can I sleep?"

Camilla: "It really is getting to them."

Nia helps them up.

Nia: "We really can't have you all wiped out when we've got Verse on our hands."

Amanda: "(drowsy) It sucks that no one would believe a story as wild as what we're doing. It'd help us cut down on the work."

Ike: "Then we'd better decide on our plans before you pass out!"

Meanwhile...

Verse: "(sighing) Greed, now Gluttony and Pride? Taking back what's mine is getting really annoying..."

A woman in a blood red dress is standing behind Verse.

Verse: "Lust, it's your turn to kill them and bring me back my Soul Bond!"

Lust: "Of course..."

Meanwhile...

Camilla: "Now you all better get some rest. You'll need it."

Lucas: "(exhausted) Okay..."

Everyone slowly leaves.

Alexis: "(groaning) After we finish the homework."
