《Hex [h.s]》Chapter Twelve
Advertisement
I stared at the plain white ceiling, wind was slightly blowing the curtains in my window. I had been lying down, thinking over things, just like what he said. Even if I know there's no one in the room right now, I know he's watching me.
Curse him.
I slowly sat up, careful not to hurt or even cause a slight pain on my injured arm. I slowly stood up. I let out a sharp hiss when my arm slightly hit the drawer beside my bed. I proceeded with caution, until I was half way through the room.
Mom is just downstairs, cooking lunch. My lunch. I was about to reach for the knob, when a cold hand grab mine and I looked up and gasped.
"Where do you think you're going?" He hissed and I looked down.
"I was about to go out, my mom is cooking my lunch. I have to eat." I mumbled.
He lets go of my hand and stared at me. "Are you sure?"
I nodded, knowing there's no use of lying to him, because he'll just know I am planning to escape this town. The door opens itself, and I tried my best not to jump in fright. Without looking up, I walked out of my room and down the stairs.
"Mom?" I called out, I can hear her humming an unfamiliar tune from the kitchen. She stopped humming.
"Yes? Do you need anything, honey?"
"Uh, is my lunch ready mom? I am starving." I spoke. I heard her say 'yes' and I walked towards the dinning room. My lunch was ready, ready to be eaten, or ready to be ruined by that bastard upstairs.
I looked at my meal, it was steak with carrots and other vegetables. Seriously, does my mom want me to live or die?

She does know I hate vegetables, why did she put some on this yummy stake?
"Mom!" I yelled, and I heard her chuckle. "You have to eat those Lucinda, if you want to be your healthy self again." She spoke, her voice echoing from the kitchen.
I sigh in frustration and sat down, still looking at the greens on the stake. I jumped slightly when a voice spoke.
"Are you waiting for me to ruin it? Maybe turn it into a head of a crow or something?" He asked, he was leaning against the wall.
I frowned at him. "Go away. Let me eat in peace." I growled and stab the carrot with my fork.
I lift the fork and stared at the orange carrot with disgust. Without any other word, I took a small bite, the taste was funny, and I quickly reach for the glass of water. But it turn into blood right away. I flinched and glared at the laughing ghost.
I had no other choice but to swallow it, and I did, hardly. I let out a disgusted groan afterwards, and narrowed my eyes at him. "Out! I don't like you messing with my food!" I spat harshly.
"Why should I ?" He asks, now glaring at me. "After all, we still have a deal." I blame my idiotic self for forgetting and stupidly agreed with his deal.
I lowered my head, trying not to stand up and slap his face. "Fine." I spoke and continued eating. If I fight back now, I know I will lose.
I hate this. Being the weak one, not having the upper hand right now is shitty. After a few minutes of disgusted groans and squinting eyes, I finished my meal. I mentally high fived myself for eating the greens without vomiting or passing out.

I looked up to find no one, he was gone for my sake. I stood up, and was about to get my empty plate, when my mom suddenly appeared and grab it. "No, Lucinda. Don't do anything to hurt or cause pain on your arm."
I rolled my eyes. "Mom, I'm fine, I can still help you."
But she shook her head. "No Lucy, you won't be doing anything. Just watch television or some sort." And she walks away to the kitchen.
I groaned. "Whatever you say, Mom." And I walked to the living room. I flopped down the white couch and turn the television on. I switched the channels and found the right one. It was Pretty little liars. Before I would know if Aria is A, the television turned black.
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Mom! The television is broken!" I yelled. I didn't hear her reply clearly since the screen started to make buzzing sounds.
After a good solid minutes, the screen turned red. A big white circle was displayed. I tilted my head, what the heck is this show?
And a girl in a bloody white dress appeared, her head tilting until it tilted into a position that is unhumanly possible.
"Help me...."
And I screamed bloody murder.

A Titan's Crusade
Erik Thayne spent most of his life being brutally ridiculed and tormented for his weight and physical appearance, among other things. A social pariah and diagnosed with an eating disorder no one has an explanation or treatment for, Erik spent years trying to overcome his issues with his personal image and escape the ridicule and vicious torment of his peers. After years of dedicated effort, and a fresh start in a town away from his childhood and adolescent tormentors, he had finally begun to truly realize what he'd been striving for all along. Only, fate apparently has other plans because in the blink of an eye, Erik found himself snatched from Earth and taken to another universe, another world, where he is offered the chance to be more than he'd ever imagined. Now, he has to fight to restore the Balance between Chaos and Order on a world of swords and magic, in a universe governed by the System's laws, which resemble those of RPGs from Earth. Erik learned to embrace the things about himself that others taught him to hate, using them to reforge his physical identity into something more removed from his old self-loathing. But can he learn to embrace the darkest parts of his mind just as he did the reviled aspects of his body and become who he needs to be to succeed in the task set before him? It might just prove easier to stalk in the dark as a monster than to walk in the light as a man... *This is my first time publishing anything I've written to a public audience. Due to formatting issues, I forwent traditional stat-screens for something a little less problematic, delineating stat screens by separating them from regular text with horizontal lines in a lighter-grey coloration. Let me know if you like them or not. Criticism is entirely welcome, but please don't hate on my work after only reading 1 chapter. This is a writing project I intend to complete but I have committment problems so we'll see how long this goes on. Also, fair warning, as the description implies, the main protagonist is intended to be someone who has been treated cruelly, developed antisocial tendencies, and ultimately has to question his own humanity--or lack thereof. This story is not intended to be brutally dark but I will definitely be trying to follow a darker theme. It is intended to be violent and some scenes later in the story might be...alarming. There will likely also be some light, non-graphic (think more implied with crude jokes and conversation than actual details, there will be no full-blown sex scenes)relationship scenes planned later and if you're opposed to either a bisexual or gay main character, stay away. I haven't yet decided which way he's going to swing but the odds on him being straight are relatively miniscule, and I've always wanted to write a story about a gay man who basically looks like a lumberjack because who doesn't like giving conventional stereo-types the middle finger? This will NOT be a harem story, and I have no intention to focus on romance over action--it's a consequence of character development where I'm concerned, not the be-all-end-all of the story. The cover-art does not, in any way, belong to me. It was an image titled the Druid King (by duskanmarkovic according to the file name) which I found on Google Images. Until I can get something commissioned, this is the best stand-in image I could find.
