《Hush | on hold》Chapter 8: uninvited guest
Advertisement
"I'm home." I said as I walked into my house, to absolutely no one. I kicked my shoes off and walked straight to my room. I paused in front of the mirror and my hand went up to my hair, I almost forgot about it...
I placed the flower on my dresser and sat down on my bed. I should probably message Hayley and tell her how it went. I picked my phone up and opened my messages with her. I threw my phone down on the bed after I texted her and sighed. Well, it's not so bad. Except for that guy... He gave me the creeps. I should really wash my hands.
I stood up and walked to the bathroom and ran the water in the sink. I froze when I thought I heard something but I just thought, maybe I'm just hearing things. I washed my hands and splashed my face with some cold water before coming back out. I sat back down on my bed and felt around for my phone, I swear I put it there... Did it fall off? I looked under my pillows and on the other side of my bed on the floor and frowned. Did I take it to the bathroom...?
I stood up and froze the second I turned around. My eyes widened when I came face to face with the man from earlier. He was holding my phone in his hands.
"You..."
"You won't be able to call anyone this time."
This time? He pulled the hood from over his head and the realization hit me. He's that Lorenzo guy, the one that Giovanni shot. He's the one that hit me.
"What do you want?" I asked backing away from him and he smiled sinisterly. "It's because of you that this happened to me-"

"Well no, you shouldn't hit women." I said, still backing up and he scowled. "Won't your boss do it again if you touch me?"
He chuckled, "Giovanni... He's not here right now to save you. I've already made sure his hands were full, he's too busy to worry about a little girl like you." He pulled a knife out from his pocket and made his way closer to me. When he thought he had me cornered against the door, I opened it and quickly shut it against him. He pounded on the bathroom door and I let out a gasp as I tried to catch my breath. This week just really isn't mine.
"Open the door." He shouted and I covered my mouth trying not to let out a cry. He already knows I'm here so there's no point of trying to trick him out of it but... I can't help but try and stay quiet.
The handle rattled as he tried opening it and he paused for a while, "Open the fucking door. You can't stay in there forever." My heart felt like it'd jump out my chest every time he'd kick against the door. The loud sound it would make made me want to cover my ears and hide. I know he's going to get in... I looked around my bathroom for anything I could use as a weapon.
The door busted open and he immediately grabbed hold of my hair and dragged me back out to my bedroom. I stomped down on his injured foot and he let out a trail of curse words, "Fucking bitch." His fists landed in my face and he threw me down onto the bed. My head felt dizzy from the contact and it took me a second to get back into focus. I let out a loud scream and his hand went over my mouth. He held the knife up to my throat and gritted his teeth,

"Don't. Don't scream or I'll kill you, I swear I'll kill you."
He pulled his hand away from my mouth and I cried out, "Please, just stop."
He clicked his tongue, "No can't do... You realize how much you've ruined things for me?! I was supposed to gain his trust and you fucked it up. I was so close.
"I didn't do anything." He shook his head and caressed my face with his rough hands. "Has anyone ever told you that you have pretty eyes? They look especially nice when you're crying."
"Get off of me..." I tried pushing him but he was stronger than me. His weight against mine... I couldn't win.
"I wonder how the rest of you looks..." He whispered. He tore open the front of my shirt, revealing my bra and let out a snicker. "I'll be sure to take my sweet time on you..."

Candor: The Forgotten House
*** Please read note below *** As a 16-year-old mage from a powerful family, Jayce Candor had known from a young age what his future would hold. As the fourth son in his family the possibility of him becoming the heir to the household was very small. But, with his talent as a mage, his potential accomplishments in the military could lead to titles of nobility and political power. However, on what would otherwise be an unremarkable night, everything he had ever known, the only people he ever cared for, and all of the plans for his future were destroyed. House Candor, one of the six great houses that helped build the Eldoran Empire had been erased from history. By imperial decree, all those bearing the name Candor were hunted down and executed as traitors of the Empire. With no home, no family, and only death waiting for him, Jayce decided to escape north to the uncharted Northern Territories to begin a new life. Forced into situations he was never prepared for and trying to cope with his past, Jayce tries to find safety in a place spoken about only in legends. There for the first time, he will make true friends and find people he will come to see as family. He will encounter strong enemies, build powerful alliances, and become a person his ancestors would be proud of. But surrounded by creatures he thought only existed in tales and pressed by the Empire’s constant expansion, Jayce’s safety may be only an illusion. To survive a world fraught with danger Jayce will need to grow stronger with each new experience and rebuild his once forgotten house. ********************************************************************** Note: The story starts slow. Although there is more action as the story progresses, there is a fair amount of introspection and character introduction in the first 30 chapters. Jayce is the main character, however, other characters play a large role and the story is seen through multiple POV's. This is a draft, it is not a finished work. This is not a story that focuses on an OP MC who beats up on weaklings. At times there can be a fair amount of internal monologue. Some of that may be edited out when I rewrite the story. I decided to keep it in the draft because I think it is better to have too much material rather than too little when I edit. Constructive criticism is appreciated as it helps in the editing and rewriting process. Check out my other story Shattered Mind here

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
