The magicians assistant

~ Chapter one ~

                

"Welcome, dear friends; to a moment you'll only ever have once in a life time. Bask your eyes upon Mister. Ingram and his dazzling assistant miss. Lapin"

The stage sparkled, yes it was cheesy. The audience seemed bored by the introduction, nothing seemed to rile up the townsmen of this small island.

A tall man emerged from a poorly built trap door in the stage, a small puff of smoke appeared. Ingram coughed as he accidentally inhaled the smoke. He smirked to the audience and spoke loudly in his raspy old voice "Welcome young fellows to our humble abode" he gestured to the stage that the old fart had preformed on for the past fifty years. "I hope you'll enjoy us" he spoke politely and bowed, he pointed the attention towards a chest on the floor as he walked over to it.

"I'd like to introduce my assistant, miss. Lapin" he stated as he opened the chest and reached his hand inside. A gloved hand reached out of the box and grabbed Ingram's hand, startling many of the audience members. Two long legs stretched over the brim over the chest, fishnet stalkings clung to her legs and a black pair of Mary Jane's were strapped to her fragile feet. Her other hand reached up to Ingram's shoulder and he pulled the woman out of the chest. Many girls in the audience had gasped, they had heard about this assistant from the gossip in their small towns along the western coast of the island. Their screeches surrounded the atmosphere, as the townsmen stayed silent to take in the woman's features.

Miss. Lapin stood on her own two feet, her long legs extended and her tightly clothed torso bent over as she humbly bowed to the audience. Her long white hair toppled down and she removed her top hat. She stood back up and gestured her gloved hand over the top hat's brim, four doves escaped from the hat and fluttered around the room. Lapin's fangirls sighed in awe as one of the doves dropped a flower into a lucky fangirls hands.

Lapin smiled and fixed the fake rabbit ears that rested upon her head. Ingram cleared his throat and took Lapin's hand "now for our famous trick" he inquired as Lapin crawled back into the chest. Lapin pulled the lid of the chest down on herself. Ingram drew three swords from his belt loop, the audience gasped as he stuck one of the swords into the chest, one of the fangirls had collapsed from shock. Lapin had escaped from the trap door under the chest and is safe from Ingram's swords. She found herself at the exit that lead backstage, she crawled out and sat down on her chaise (a one person couch).

Lapin's body jolted as she felt sudden raging heat and multiple screams. She was about as quick as a hare as she ran out to meet a large fire blocking the exit and a cowering audience, Lapin thought quickly as she pulled Ingram's throwing knives from his back pocket and aimed them at a plumbing pipe somewhat above the fire. She managed to break off a rusted joint and the water from the pipe rushed down, extinguishing the fire and saving her audience.

It was all a blur as the audience surrounded her and thanked her, Lapin's head spun and she blacked out purely from the shock of the moment.
