《The Unexpected House Guest》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Draco carefully tried to comfort Harry in his arms, but Harry was shrieking on the top off his lungs and wasn't responding to anything. Draco looked around for signs that someone was there, but no one was. Draco painfully stood in the center of their kitchen, now, and decided to place Harry on the empty kitchen table. The second Dracoput him down, Harry started writhing even worse and Draco stared at him without knowing what to do. Blood was now covering the majority of Harry's forehead and hair, but was spreading with the minute. "Please, Harry, stop!" Draco pleaded, but nothing indicated that Harry could even hear him.
Voices came from the yard, which Draco identified as the Weasley family and waited a moment for them to walk in. The door opened and there were cheerful faces that were laughing and talking. The expression of all of them changed when they saw Harry's writhing body and Draco standing with no expression at all. "H-Help, please." Draco said softer than he'd wished to and the entire family rushed to Harry's side.
Draco was only now noticing that the only people who'd come in was Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley. "How could you do this to the poor boy?" Mrs, Weasley yelled with tears streaming down her face. Draco looked her in the eye, but couldn't answer.
"What did you do, exactly?" Mr. Weasley stood up straight and faced Draco to ask.
"I-I was kissing him, Mr. Weasley." Draco said and moved near Harry to grab one of his hands that were clenched around the table edge.
Me. Weasley didn't seem pleased with this answer and looked to Mrs. Weasley to see if she was buying his story. Mrs. Weasley nodded a little and Mr. Weasley pressed forward. "In detail."

Draco felt his entire face getting red and stared at Harry's hand that he was holding to avoid the Weasley's stares. "Harry and I were—er— snuggling when a climbed on top of him and began to kiss him. He pushed me off the bed and that's when he began to bleed. I can't remember exactly everything that happened." Draco stared down at Harry who was still fighting and screaming.
A single tear fell from Draco's eyes as he began to break down. He wasn't strong enough to watch Harry go through this. They decided to take him to St, Mungo's, using the knight bus. The ride consisted mostly of Draco sitting in a chair next to Harry and watching as the boy he cared so much for struggled. "Oh, look, it's my runaway son. I'm ashamed of you! You betrayed me, your father, for a boy who can't even speak at the moment." Draco saw his father strolling past to get off the knight bus at a stop when this was said and raised his stick to whack Harry. As he raised it, Draco tackled Harry's flailing body to the floor and protecting him as if he were a force field. Lucius curled his lip, but then continued on his way.
At St. Mungo's, no one knew what floor to go to, but assumed it would be considered a spell injury. Once they gotten Harry to a bed, the healer immediately gave him something to make him calm down despite the pain. The healer basically guaranteed that Harry would die because no one knew what was going on and inexplicably sickness was spreading through Harry's blood. The Weasley's cried, but Draco cried the most once he was alone and his tears were unstoppable once they started.
Later that day, Draco came back to say his goodbye to Harry and promise to be back for him tomorrow, but was tongue tied. Harry seemed to be barely conscious and was calmly smiling at Draco. Instead of attempting to find words, Draco kissed Harry one last time and when Draco pulled back to look into the eyes of the boy he'd never forget, the spark that commonly ignited Harry's emerald eyes were gone and his skin was becoming paler by the second. Draco tried to convince himself he was seeing things and Harry was sleeping, but when a healer came by to examine him it was confirmed he was dead. "I'm so sorry." The healer spoke and rage filled through Draco's veins because he knew the healer hadn't known Harry and was just trying to comfort Draco, but his attempt was failing. Nothing could comfort Draco and nothing could fill the gaping hole left in Draco's heart, for the only person he could ever truly love was now lying dead next to him.

Kill the Joker: Survival Game
Redemption is a fickle thing. Nine detectives and nine serial killers find themselves playing a dangerous survival game of deductions, pretending, and - murder. With your life and alias on the line, what would you give up for a shot at redemption? ... The main premise and kick of KtJ is that it is a guessing game of sorts. 18 high school students of various ages and backgrounds come together and are given aliases, such as "King", "Killer", or as the protagonist is aptly named - "Protagonist". They do not know each others' identities, and what's more - 9 of them are anonymous detectives, and 9 of them are serial killers. The cast is given a list of their names, and a list of the identities of the serial killers and detectives they are being held hostage with, and are forced to interact to guess the identities. The people who are able to connect all identities will get "a special advantage" in the killing game, but it isn't specified what. Alongside this, each cast member is given three secrets they are able to reveal at any point for an advantage in the killing game as well. However, one of these secrets is their name, and revealing that secret will result in a minor "punishment" as well. [COVER ART DONE BY RILIE @kisikils] [Illustrated]

How hard would it be for humans to reach another unniverse? It's a more common occurence than you'd think Now imagine making that journey without any kind of special suit or magic wormhole or divine being protecting you. The chances of survival are slim and those unlucky few that do reach their destination, well let's just say they're not quite the same people who began their journey. Liam dies during a colision with a truck; to be precise he was the one who drove said truck into a lamppost. The manner of his death aside he is reborn after having his brain squeezed through the proverbial ringer of interdimensional transference, and to add insult to injury is forced into the body of a dungeon core (one of those things responsible for building fantasy type dungeons, labyrinths, mazes .etc). What follows are the adventures of a mentally unstable dungeon core - you have been warned.
8 280Hymn of Ignis
If a man is told to walk from the moment of his awakening to the world, what will he do? He will walk. What if along his path he stumbles and falls? He will get up, and walk. What if along his path others bar the way? He will push through, and walk. What if along his path a storm hinders his passage? He will overcome it, and walk. What if along his path the sky changes color and light no longer guides the way? He will remain on his path, and walk. What if along his path the very ground gives way to oblivion? He will press on, and walk. What if along his path he becomes more than a man? Will he stop? Release schedule will be either weekly, or biweekly, depending on the time I have available. Hopefully that will change for the better along the way. As for the story itself, opinions matter a lot! I appreciate both soft, and hard criticism, so don't hold your punches.

[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] |Vampires. Cursed existences that feed on the life force of the living by draining their blood. Deceptively powerful and able to use incredible magic, the only chance humanity has against them is the runic language gifted to them by Solaris, God of Light. While not all powerful, they have given humanity the power to fight back, leading to the current stalemate. Brandon suffered a tragic fate while walking through the woods. Offered a choice by Solaris, what will his life entail? Author's note: This will be my main focus during November, but I almost guarantee that it won't be finished by the time the challenge ends. I'll probably lower releases to biweekly or monthly after that depending on my schedule. There are no plans for a harem, or even a romantic interest. If you decide to join me for the ride, I welcome criticism and try and reply to comments so let me know what you think!
