《Hex [h.s]》Chapter Thirteen
Advertisement
My mom rushed into the living room, her eyes were wide and her hair was everywhere.
"Lucinda! Honey, are you hurt?" She asked worriedly. My eyes were still on the television, that is now advertising Oreos.
My breath was coming out in short, hard puffs due to my scary encounter with the television.
I was sure, I didn't just watch a scary movie, it was real. The girl was looking at me and she asked for help.
"Lucinda?"
I finally calmed down and looked at my mother, who was still staring at me like I was the most important thing in the world right now. Which I know, won't probably last until she knows the real reason why.
"I-I saw...."
"You saw what?"
"A-a ghost, on the tv." I stammered. Once I got those words out, I knew she won't believe me. And she'll probably never will.
I proved myself right when she merely just closed her eyes and sight. Tired of my frantic words and hauntings. "Lucinda, is this another one of your—"
"No!" I hissed out, annoyed to the moon and back. "Don't tell me that I imagined it cause I didn't!"
She narrowed her eyes at me and pointed an accusing finger at my face. "Lucy, don't talk to me like that." She scolds hotly. "Don't you dare talk to me in that attitude. I'm your mother!"
I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms across my chest. "Well, I wouldn't if you would just believe me!"
"We aren't talking about that right now." She groaned before walking away. "You better behave."
"Mom? Mom, come back!" I called, but she didn't listen. Sighing angrily, I stood up and directly unplugged the t.v. Not caring if I broke it or what, and stomped upstairs.

When I reached my room, I closed the door furiously. I scream at the top of my lungs before falling to the floor and cried, tears streaming down my face.
Why wouldn't she believe me? Can't she even try to? Can't she see I'm being tormented?
"Why are you crying, whore?"
What the fuck? I'm a whore now?!
I looked up with my red teary eyes, to face the devil in front of me. He cocked his head to the side with an arrogant smirk.
"I asked you sweetheart, don't keep me waiting."
I narrowed my eyes at him before flipping him the middle finger. "Fuck you, asshole." I spatted and regretted it instantly as soon as my back hit the wall. I whimpered at the impact, the force knocking the wind out of me.
God, he's so strong.
His hands were placed at the sides of my head on the wall, our faces dangerously close. Nothing would bother me as long as they don't touch. His eyes looking into my eyes, into my soul. I could only look back. I know he doesn't even have soul, he's dead.
"Doesn't mean you're injured, I won't hesitate to hurt you." I heard him growl near my ear. "Why do you keep sassing me?"
"Doesn't mean I'm injured, my attitude changed." I manage to say, and he chuckles darkly.
"Lucinda, I admire your sassy attitude, but I'd rather have a non-existent attitude."
My eyes furrowed, not understanding what he just said. "W-what the hell do you mean?" I ask!and he bites my earlobe, making me let out a small squeak. Disgusted and afraid.
"You. Dead. Gone. Rings a bell?"
My heart is probably leaping out of my chest right now. "I-I still don't know what you mean." I lied when I perfectly knew what in the hell he means. "You see, I'm quite dum—"

He burries his head at the crook of my neck, making me shudder in fear. His cold breath, breathing down at my neck.
"You. I want your attitude gone." He whispers, and I felt his cold lips kissing my neck, making me gasp and push him away. Already disgusted and mortified on what he just attempted to do.
He threw his head back laughing, if he wasn't a ghost, I'll think he laughs like a little kid.
"Y-you monster." I whispered and he looks at me, his laughter dying down. This scene was very similar to ones I see in documentaries about wild life. A predator glaring at its prey.
"Oh love, I'm more than a monster." He snickered.
"Then what are you?" I asked filled of genuine curiosity. "Really."
"Me? I am the devil himself. I am Harry Styles." And he grabbed my injured arm, making me cry out in absolute pain.
"You're hurting me!" I cried, but it's useless. It was his goal after all, to make me suffer in pain. He's doing a good job at it now.
He kissed my cheek, which made my face pale in shock.
"And you, are mine."
I heard something snap and the world turned upside down and it became dark.

Aevalin: Klause Schuar the Grand Bastard (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #1) Klause Schuar, the Grand Bastard who destroyed the world in his pursuit of magical power, believed to be a only legend by some, is a horror of the distance past. Though seven-hundred years after the Age of Darkness, the world is birthing itself anew—the dark magicks have receded and the festering plague that extinguished entire kingdoms is no more. The roads have been opened and regular travel between nations is now possible. The newly formed guilds are active. Where monster hunting and dungeon diving are lucrative trades, long dead kingdoms are being rebuilt in this glorious age of rediscovery. This is the story of Arlian Brennovo, lord and commander of the City Watch during the last days before the Age of Darkness—before the Age of Readventure! * Glorious New Age (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #2) Yoreno Brendara, a relatively sheltered noble, has joined his father in the mythical kingdom of Aevalin with his mother and sister. His father has arranged for him to train under Dantera Brennovo, a descendant of the legendary Arlian Brennovo who fought in the Grand Bastard’s war against King Balthazar and his High Mage to save the world. Now Yoreno will become an adventurer, fighting alongside a successful lady in arms—and a rich one at that. It is a grand opportunity for Yoreno to become a knight of Aevalin and to participate in the glorious new Age or Readventure! * Knight of Aevalin (Aevalin and The Age of Readventure, #3) After being conferred with a knighthood, Yoreno plans to enjoy the Age of Readventure festival with his friends and mentor. During the festivities Yoreno witnesses a plot to assassinate king Branlin.

Together with his friends, Yoreno and the members of the Emblazoned Party set out in search of Dantera as she pursues King Branlin’s assassin far outside of the safety found within the borders of Aevalin. * Kingdom of the Blue Dragon (Aevalin and the Age of Readventure, #5)Having survived capture and escape from the barbarous tribal stronghold in the hills, Yoreno and his friends set forth with Dantera to scout out the assassin clan responsible for King Branlin’s death. Weather they have the necessary strength to challenge the assassins, they do not know. Meanwhile Yoreno’s close proximity to Dantera continues to distract him from their quest at hand.

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09
