《A Hidden Secret(Cancelled)》4: Autumn Malay, The Ice Queen

Teachers eventually came and broke away the fight and Caden was dragged away into a hospital room, he restfully laid on the hospital bed he was placed on, enjoying the relaxing sounds of Lo-Fi music. A doctor was at the end of Caden's bed checking the heartbeat of Caden, after noticing Caden's heart was perfectly fine the male glanced up at Caden and met his eyes.
Caden, being wrapped with bandages all around his face, looked at the male teacher and saw dark circles hang under his bottom eye sockets and was wearing a doctor outfit. The doctor had long brunette hair resting past his shoulders, looking messy and unclean.
"Another bully-victim are you? All I can do is heal you, but can't do anything else." The Doctor sighed in disappointment.
"That's rude, why can't you help me?" Caden whined loudly.
"Because if you're a victim of bullying, mainly Red Level Students, we leave you all alone to build strength and become a stronger version of yourself in the future." The Doctor yawned while placing his tablet on an unsafe deck that had wheels shaking around.
Learning the problem, Caden abruptly sat up from his slumber and looked around the empty hospital room, only one desk was seen in the surroundings filled with beds where injured people were seen unconscious.
"What a shithole—I'm guessing these are victims as well?" Caden inquired in a shocked, disturbed emotional reaction.
"They're victims of Ian's gang that roam freely throughout the school where teachers don't do jack shit about it." Another voice answered. This voice came from Autumn who stood in the exit of the room doorway, never leaving her unwarming glare on Caden as she suspiciously approached him.
"Ian's gang?" Caden whispered to himself which Autumn eavesdropped on.
"Ian's gang, titled "Students of Lions Reunification" is part of an organisation named, "2421 Lions", who came from a rebellion group of an allegiance country the Allies, later on, fought within the war in 2430. 2421 Lions rebelled country became it's independent nation when 2421 Lion created a plan with the allies, then the year 2437 came around and 2421 Lions split in half and went rogue. But they eventually were picked up again in the year 2446, which was located in our country and now is named "Lions Reunification of 2446". The organisation, or gang, became an ally of the Government in the year 2449." Autumn chattered, holding the cold stare while explaining every information about the gang.

In the explanation, Caden was seen dragging his eyes towards the opened window, watching leaves levitate past the smashed windows. Autumn knew Caden wasn't paying any attention but for some reason, she didn't care, she just wanted to watch Caden's every move he makes from this day on, Autumn wanted to know everything about this guy who opened the door to feel fear. That's why she explained Ian's gang to get closer with Caden.
The doctor in the room glanced at them both and saw something nobody else noticed, he felt electricity between Caden and Autumn gradually zap at each other, inching closer very slowly every second a day moves on.
"Oo~ The Queen has found interest in someone." Chuckled the doctor who covered his uncontrolled laugh as his eyes fixed on Autumn's warm refreshed expression. Her eyes glowed with life and never unravelled back into a cold glare infinity, "I guess sometimes it's great to have an Electricity Manipulation power when romance is placed onto the plate." The doctor quietly chuckled to himself.
"Hey, new student—since you may be another bully victim, why don't you become someone under my control?" Autumn politely asked.
"You want me to be your slave?" Caden asked back with no signs of turning his head towards Autumn.
"Well, something like that. That's what everyone around is doing when they find someone vulnerable, they make that person a slave—but, I won't treat you as a nuisance, I'll treat you with care in private and treat you with nastiness in public." Autumn smiled.
"And what happens if I disagree?" Caden replied.
"Then I'll spread fake news-" As Autumn went to say something threatening, she felt herself wanting to escape the situation very quickly when Caden turned around with his lifeless, solitary eyes, everything inside her was screaming to escape as the only thing she felt was goosebumps onslaught her pumping blood and nervous sweat pour down her forehead in a flowing attitude.
"That's quite an interesting thought process, Autumn. But don't continue that following in your high-class level, because that little cocky personality you have will be depressed when you're caught with lies, understood?" Caden coldly questioned.

Autumn felt it again, she felt the mysterious fear she never felt in years activate her flight system, she trembled by the thought of seeing them deceased eyes gawk back at her with unexplained sensations, she didn't know if Caden was either angry or something else. She only knew one thing and that was to back down because she knew she felt cowardly in front of someone she now feared.
"I—understand." Autumn squeezed out, avoiding any eye contact she has with Caden.
As everyone inside the hospital watched speechlessly, Caden took a massive sigh and headed out the room after passing a frozen Autumn, he looked at his phone he pulled out from his pocket and saw it was lunchtime. Caden made his way in the cafeteria by walking out of the educational building he was in and into the cafeteria building where the smell of grilled, cooked and boiled food filled the tasteless air. Students were seen everywhere in one stranded line waiting to get their turn on choosing food.
Caden wasn't hungry so he walked over to the vending machine he spotted at the back of the cafeteria in the middle of two large tables when he wandered in, he looked at the drinking choices and found original Lucozade, which was his favourite drink to boost energy on. Pennies that Caden held were dropped into the tight hole of the vending machine where it had a money sign over it.
Then he watched the Lucozade get dropped out of his field of vision making him have to bend down and scoop his hands into the escaping hole drinks leave when ordered, he fumbled onto the small fatigue bottle, pulling it out of the machine afterwards.
"Hey, injured guy—you're not allowed in this area." Whispered a nervous female student, Caden focused his attention on the small, weak girl and saw she wasn't a very brave person as fear is what all Caden could feel from this girl.
"Hm? Why's that?" Caden asked in a confused tone.
"Because this is where all the popular kids go." She weakly answered.
"Haha, I'm not allowed in this area because of some shitty popular kids? Stop being retarded and follow by your own rules, popular kids are just going to be useless in the future after graduation." Caden laughed loudly as he walked away from the puzzled female student.
Caden hummed to the spot he chose to sit on, that spot was next to Ian who was proudly hitting the weaker students who all sat around his table feeling stressed from the other bullies that were buddies with Ian. A smirk popped up across Caden's face as he quickly ran over towards Ian, pushing aside one of Ian's friends and then sat beside Ian.
Ian glanced at Caden confused because Caden wasn't afraid of him at all, Caden just looked back at Ian with a grinning expression.
"Hello, gangster! Your punches are amazing, where do you train?" Caden smiled.
"Are you fucking crazy?" Ian snarled.
"Maybe—I may have lost a few brain cells when you tried killing me, but it just made me want to know where you train at." Caden cockily responded.
"I know what's happening~If I give you my location you'll allow me to cripple your dumb fuck of an ass, yes?" Ian snickered, slamming his knuckles together showing all the excitement he felt.
"That won't be happening." Autumn's bitter voice boomed throughout the room, transpiring in Ian glancing at Autumn with fear and signs of trembling tremendously, sweat was detected painting his pale face that was once laughing like a madman.
The words "You won't touch my save one single bit," echoed across the enormous cafeteria room, everyone was quiet and Autumn, mostly titled "Autumn Malay, The Ice Queen", did something nobody thought she would do as a Queen.
She captured a slave.

Old Riding Author Lunatic Asylum
Just off the A19, in the dark, incomprehensible lands known as Yorkshire, there lies a town. A town where shadow-silent alleys glint with the secret hunger of knives. Where blood soaks the chipboard window shutters of forsaken terraces stretching off into the night. Where the smog-choked air rattles with the depraved laughter echoing out from clubs that can only generously be described as post-apocalyptic. Well, that’s Middlesbrough. But down the A19 a bit (an impossibly long way down, actually) there lies another town: Raughnen, in the ancient, forgotten Old Riding. It is an equal match in muggery and thuggery alike. It also has magic spells and pointy wizard hats. And now, across the miles and across all sensibilities, a pretty nasty power (a magic one) calls out for its pretty nasty counterpart (a decidedly unmagic one): a proper sound Boro lad. Nothing good can come of it. This is a collection of one novella and four connected short stories: I. A Yorkshire Summoning II. Old Riding Day Trip (the novella) III. Heaven is a Parmo IV. Death on the 66 V. Death on the 257 In total, this comprises 34 chapters totalling around 35,000 words, so try not to worry. It will be over relatively quickly. There are three more short stories with more tenuous links to the core collection: Rush, Paper Round and Scenario 79: Sausage Fingers, all of which can be found in my collection Short Records of Misadventure. Reading these may allow you to make more sense of certain parts of the story, if any sense is to be made at all. NOTE: There are instances of prejudice and discrimination within these stories, including elements of sexism and ageism, which are purely the thoughts and actions of the characters involved and which certainly do not reflect my own views on these matters. ANOTHER NOTE; A WARNING, PERHAPS: This can get a bit weird. In less than 150 pages, we have four viewpoints, first and third person narratives, and a completely disjointed plot with lots of gaps, dead ends and no real resolution. Also ZERO lunatic asylums. It's all a bit odd. If that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea, which it most likely isn't, it might be best to move on now.

Natalin thought that being a champion of the gods was supposed to make things easier. It turns out, life isn’t that simple. For centuries, the four gods that rule the land have each chosen a hero, a mage-warrior to act as eyes and hands in the world. Gifted with their Divine’s blessing, these Ascended and their successors have worked for centuries to ensure the land stays at peace. As the new Tideborn, the disciple of the sea god Efren, Natalin is expected to follow in their footsteps. Her counterpart Takio finds himself in the same boat, tasked with keeping his volcano goddess patron in check. The demands placed on them are immense, but together with their nations, they’ve managed to keep the peace. Until the crops and grasslands begin failing, sending Takio’s mountainous nomads careening towards war. Natalin’s shores fall under siege, destroying the seabound trade routes that keep their nations flourishing. When the very safety of the four champions is threatened by the growing chaos, Natalin and Takio realize the truth - their Divine favor won’t protect them.
