《Playtime》chapter ten

I woke up wrapped up in the covers of the bed. I sit up and see a bandage on my arm. The pain wasn’t there, but then I see the syringe. Of course. I thought. They drugged me. I stand up, feeling the frigid feeling of the wooden floor beneath my bare feet. I stagger over, still feeling lightheaded. I tried to open it; wanting air, I felt like I was suffocating. I clutched the window before pounding. Panic struck me.
“Whoa, whoa.” A voice said catching my attention. “We don’t need you to break the window.” I step back as Seok-Jin opens the window, letting in the cold October air. I take in a breath and felt myself relax.
“So, are you a vampire too?” I ask feeling slightly confident. He chuckles.
“No. There are only two vampires in our group. Taehyung and Namjoon. I’m the Devil.” I tense up at the mention of what he was. He shook his head. “Not literally. I get called that since I’m the most violent and dark.” I cross my arms as he rubs my back.
“For a demon, you sure are friendly.” I say point of factly. He rolls his eyes.
“It’s for Yoongi’s sake.” he states, making me curious.
“Yoongi?” I start. He nods but before he could answer, a beam of bright light hit him. I gasp as I see Angelia appear. Her blond hair hung in her face as her luminescent eyes looked at me kindly.
“Why you little-”
“Ah, watch your language.” she says brushing herself off. “That’s the kind of language that will land you a place next to the devil.” I flinch as I look at Seok-Jin’s face. Emotionless, yet I caught a glimpse of hurt.

“Reality check, lighty.” he said before grabbing her. “I already work alongside with the devil.” She yelps in pain as he tightened his grip. I watched in horror as her wings begin to turn a night black. She tries to pull away, but only manages to hurt herself.
“Please,” I beg. “Don’t kill her.” Seok-Jin gives me a look that said he didn’t care. I look down. “Let me talk to her first.” Seok-Jin released her, and throws her toward me. I grab her and watch him leave with a slam from the door. I look at my angel friend with sympathy.
“Surprise…” she says weakly. I help her to the bed and lay her down, only to have her scream in pain. “It hurts!!” she screams. I hurry to help her to the floor. I felt a bit of annoyance at the fact that she couldn’t touch a single thing in this room.
“What are you doing here?” I ask tapping my foot. I was getting impatient, and frankly annoyed that she’d have to ruin the moment where I was about to get information. She weakly gets up and pats me on the shoulder.
“I came to give you advice.” I give her a blank look. What advice would I seriously need? Sure, I was trapped with seven servants of the Devil, but lately they had all given me my space and respect that I requested. Yoongi had been less violent, but the again, it was when he wasn’t drunk.
“What advice?” I finally asked, curious at what she had found out.
“How to kill Yoongi.” I gasp. A stab of jealousy, protectivness and anger swelled up inside of me. I couldn’t find the strength to kill him. His scarlet eyes had made a mark on me. I lost myself in his gaze; the gaze that started the whole thing. His cold exterior was what drew me to him. He was mysterious, and I was going to find out what he was hiding.

“No,” I say without thinking. “You aren’t killing Yoongi.” I couldn’t help but glare at her. Her angel exterior didn’t seem so innocent anymore. I shake my head. “Get out.” I turn my back to her. Hate. It filled my soul.
‘That’s right,’ yoongi’s voice echoed in my head. ‘Send her away’. I listened. I wanted to. I needed to. It was like I couldn’t live without his voice in my head.
“What?” she says stunned. “But-”
“I said leave!” I scream chucking a vase. “I don’t want your help anymore.”
“I’ll kill him myself then.” she says. That’s when I snapped. I grab her arm, hurting her. But right now, I didn’t care. I was too pissed to give a crap.
“You kill him, and I’ll kill you.” I say before turning away agian.
I heard rustling before an ‘ow’ and when I turned, I saw my only best friend leave. Yoongi was ruining my life. I sigh and look at the ground. I was about to call for Yoongi when a flashed me in the eyes. Rubbing them, I groan in annoyance as a seal floated in front of me.
Opening it, I silently curse.
“Great. The counsel.”

Nights of Sambria: And the Wish of Light
“I discovered a secret. One I desperately wish could have stayed hidden. It was locked away, concealed in a fantastical world on the doorstep of 7 billion people who stayed utterly oblivious to it. If they will be spared the terror that is coming, I can’t begin to imagine. Know that a forgotten heritage of a dwindling people whispered, unknowingly sending a call to the ancient mysteries of the world. Something listened. And now events are set in motion that could force the earth on a course of terrible change. I am being hunted and have run out of time. There were no stories about it. No legends. Not even scribbles. Yet, the threat of it is real and that’s why I’m writing this warning with shaking hands. So pay attention those who read this, be careful of what lies waiting cloaked in the darkness. That which made their home the lost places of this world.” She folded the letter with a shuddering breath and stared back in the direction from where the noise reverberated through the halls. It was of stone doors shattering one by one. The chances of getting out safely were all but gone. The letter in her hand was all warning they would have. It dropped into one of the Wells and all that could be done now was hope it was found in time, if at all. -- This was my very first large story. ;) I started writing it years ago. Was fun, was difficult, but in the end, it is a story I hope that will inspire. The prologue is in first person perspective and the rest of the story in 3d. Just a little heads-up :P It is a fantasy epic with a contemporary twist for the start. The first arc of the novel is set inside our modern world, but as the mysterious events around Calin intensifies, the hidden secrets in the world start to become more fantastical. The story follows Calin, a young orphan in search of answers. But, the answers he seeks will change his life and that of his friends forever, for the secrets that caused his situation have far greater ramifications than the small village of Lamb's Crest could have known. Remember to leave ratings and reviews. I'm quite interested in hearing your thoughts on the story. ;) Enjoy reading, Omri Hope
