Metal Bats

Episode 4 - "Genie in a bottle"

"What is it James?" I asked. James was walking back and fourth. He seemed very worried. "I need to make sure that Red will love me forever. Can you make sure of it?" He finally asked. I smirked. "I think the girl is falling for you already James." I said. He nodded. "It's not enough. I can't loose her." James said in anger. I was scanning him. He was wearing his usual black leather suit with a red tie. His dark hair was messy. In his held he held my Genie bottle. The one he promised to set me free from. The thing about James though? He only cares about himself. I don't think even Red is enough to change him. He's a maniac, selfish bastard. I've been locked here in the bottle for almost eternity because he refuse to let me go. Just wait when I get free. For now, I have to play by my master's rules.

"You can make a wish. She will forever be yours" I said. James was quiet for a moment. "Can I trust you?" He asked. I smirked again. "Have I ever let you down, master?" I asked. He nodded. I even granted him more wishes, and he's been really careful with using them. "I wish Red will love me forever." He said. "This wish could come true...but..." I got quiet. "What? What is it?" He asked. I conjured a crystal ball and made ot float on the air. Mumbling something till a picture of a archer with green outfit, blonde hair and a bow appears there. "Who's what?" James asked. "This is the reason Red disappears so many times. The reason she can't fully love you. Her name is Sky, and she is Red's good side."

I explained. James started to get angry. "Where can I find her?" He asked. "On Earth. She's apart of Power Inc." I said. "I'll go there and kill her myself." He said, turning and walking away. "Wait, you can't." I yelled behind him. He stopped and turned to me. "What do you mean I can't?" He asked. "If you kill her, Red will die. Sky have to agree to let go, for Red to take control." I explained, while moving my fingers in my green hair.

James thought for a moment. "You were quite helpful, Ruby. Get back in the bottle". He said while the bottle appeared in his hands and he started rubbing it. I was immediately pulled into it. I didn't set up a fight because there was no point. My revenge will come soon enough. Oh, and you're welcome, James.
