《Lune Levant》Chapter 10

The voice, as well as the footsteps, ended up belonging to a creature that Dreadlilocks could not quite understand.
It was dressed like a fine gentleman, complete with a hat and coat and a bright silk tie. But the contents of the outfit seemed only vaguely human…they shifted, like a dark, flickering flame.
Dreadli blinked. “Are you…a ghost…?” she asked.
“Are you an idiot??” The Beast replied. “I am not a ghost, but YOU will be if you don’t clear out of here. And take your compatriots with you...”
“But, but…we came here to save you!” Dreadli protested, scrambling to her feet.
“I don’t need to be ‘saved’ by the likes of you. And for the record, I don’t believe for one second that you aren’t just here for my roses…!” The Beast stepped closer. “You know, I’ve always hated liars…and children…”
“Stay back, you fiend!!”
Pitch threw the door open, brandishing her cutlass. She pointed it at the Beast. “Touch one hair on this child’s head, and you’ll pay for it in blood.”
“I have no blood,” the Beast replied. “But even if I did, I would not fear your pathetic threats.”
Unfazed, he gripped her blade in his shadowy hand. The glowing eyes narrowed. “Don’t bother begging for your life. Just leave.”
Pitch had that ‘shamed and insulted’ look in her eye again. But before it could boil over into rage, Lucid Fright jumped out to intervene.
“Wait, stop!!” she cried.
The other three turned to look at her. She stared back, then wrung her hands. “I…I d-don’t exactly…I didn’t plan what to say next…” she muttered.
“I know what to say!” Dreadli exclaimed. “We shouldn’t be fighting! We’re all on the same side! We have to work together and—”

“Even more than I hate liars and children, I DESPISE clichés,” the Beast interrupted. “Exactly what will it take for me to be rid of you people? Will I have to kill you?? Will I have to tear off one of your heads before you comprehend the meaning of the word ‘go’?!”
“Alright; if you really want us to go, we’ll go,” Pitch said, lowering her weapon. “Come on, Dreadlilocks. Your mercy is wasted on this…thing.”
“But I don’t think he understands!” Dreadli protested. She turned back to the Beast. “Do you understand? Even if you can fight, this place isn’t going to last! The phantasms are going to unwrite it all! Even your…roses!”
The mention of the flowers seemed to catch the Beast’s attention. “These…‘phantasms’…what do you know about them…?” he asked.
Dreadli smiled, relieved. “…Not much. But I’ll tell you what we do know, if you’ll listen.”

Touch
Touch is a story about a boy named James, and his friends: a group of young, superpowered people brought together by trauma; all trying, in their own ways, to come to terms with what that trauma means to them and who they want to be in response to it. This is a learning process, and mistakes are made, but they grow, learn, and adapt to these difficulties in ways that some might say only young people can. While it may look it at first, this is not intended as a sad story, merely an honest one. I wanted to make the characters human, and unfortunately, that means that difficulties hit them in very real ways through the story, but then again, they have some equally human moments of warmth between one another as they grow. Triggers: Explores the aftereffects and recovery process of sexual abuse, and some other forms of physical abuse. I like to think I avoided making it edgy, but you deserve to be informed. Some readers have told me that it can feel a bit too real at times. A bit too honest. If you like what you read, feel free to comment or review. I like the feedback.
