《Only you can make me feel better... (Calamity x Drift)》Chapter 4.4: The backstory
Advertisement
After what actually felt like 5 seconds, I was slowly starting to wake up. I heard irritating beeping noises. Where was I? What happend? I regained some more consciousness and tried to open my eyes. I managed to open them slightly but then noticing they were closing again. I let a small moan escape from my lips as I slightly and slowly turned my head to the right. I heard some other shuffling noises.
I tried to open my eyes again, but this time I needed to keep them open. My eyes were opening more and more and then, I got a good vision of what was going on, but I still was not wide awake.. I was in the hospital, laying in bed with some wires attached to me. And I had this like small wire kind of thing against my nose.I saw my mom and dad were standing on my right, looking at me very worried. At the end of the bed stood Deadfire, who also looked very worried. My mom asked with wide eyes. I took a moment to answer, as I wasn't 100% conscious. I asked very weak. My mom caressed my cheek.
Then the door opened and a doctor walked in. He had a clipboard in his hands with some papers on it. The doctor asked. " I said with a weak voice, pretty much sounding exhausted actually. The doctor explained. I got a little shocked when he said I was in a coma for 8 hours long... The doctor asked. I slowly shook my head no. My parents and brother did the same. The doctor said. Deadfire looked at my parents.
My mom nodded in acceptation, and my dad did too. He walked towards me and gave me a kiss on my cheek. My dad said as he gave me a smile. I said softly and returned a small smile. I looked at my mom and she smiled to me and I did to. Then my parents and the doctor went out.
Right now me and Deadfire were left in the room. I asked as I started wondering about that.Deadfire explained. I just nodded, as I didn't know how to react to this.

He said as he was closing the curtains, making sure there would be no light shining into the room. I didn't want him to leave me now... He said smiling. He put his hand on my hair and gave me a kiss on my forehead. He said softly. I nodded. He started walking towards the light switch. But before he even reached the switch, I already closed my eyes and fell asleep, and realized I was very exhausted.
On the next day, the police came and questioned me. I told them what happened and what Rodas did to me: The slap on my face, him threatening me with the knife against my throat, Ferderio being involved with this as well, the cut on my stomach, him groping me. My parents and brother were very shocked when they heard this.
Deadfire stayed over this night as well, and on the other days my dad, my mom, Deadfire again and so on, 2 weeks passed. It was the day I was allowed to go home. My dad stayed over this night so my mom and brother were at home. When I was done packing, me and my dad went to the car and drove home. I was happy it was over. Well... sort of. The police is looking for Rodas, Ferderio and his men. They are still out there somewhere. My mom and dad told me I wasn't allowed to go out alone anymore and I agreed with that. I wouldn't even dare to do that now in the first place.
It was 18:15 and we were eating dinner. I finished dinner and went upstairs to my room and put on my pajamas. I laid in bed, pulling the blanket over me. I grabbed my laptop and turned it on. I was planning on watching some netflix because I missed a lot of new episodes over the past 2 weeks. Before I could press on the play button, someone knocked on my door. I saw Deadfire entering my room. He asked walking towards me. I said smiling. Deadfire tossed me something. I looked at it and it was a medium sack with my favorite candy. He said nicely. I thanked him with a bride smile and he gave me a hug. He said and walked out my room and closed the door.

I was watching an episode and eating candy as I heard mom and dad talk downstairs. I paused the episode and listened. I heard my mom ask worriedly. My dad said. Then I heard the door open and then shut again. I got out of bed and walked towards the stairs. When I was at the stairs I looked trough the window and saw my parents were going somewhere. I walked back into my room and wanted to call them to ask where they were going to. I assumed my phone was on the nightstand so I reached for it but my hand didn't grab anything. I looked at the nightstand and didn't see my phone. Then I remembered. Rodas has my phone, or at least, it's still in that house. Shit...
I just skipped the thought and finished watching my episode. I turned off my laptop and put it away. I also ate the candy so I thew the sac away. I crawled back in my bed, under the soft blanket and drifted to sleep.
I woke up when the sun was shining on me and birds were chirping. Because it was a habit, I reached with my arm for my phone and to my surprise, my phone laid on my nightstand. Oh my god! Where did it come from all of a sudden? I sat up right on my bed and checked my phone. Its still in perfect shape until... I saw something on the edge of the screen. Something red? Was that... Blood? Oh crap. I need to tell my parents. I'm scared Rodas just creeped in my room and placed down my phone and just left.
I ran of the stairs with my phone in my hand. I saw mom cooking and dad was talking to her. I slowed down as I was close to the kitchen and then I stood across my parents. I asked a little terrified. My mom said smiling as she was cooking some pancakes. I looked at them and they didn't answer me. I asked with a tear ready to drop out from my eye. They could've got hurt by Rodas or one of his men. What were they thinking? My dad explained.There were so many questions in my head right now. My dad didn't like it that I was asking so many questions. I insisted. My dad yelled at me making me jump a little.
I turned around and ran up the stairs and from there to my room. I shut the door and walked towards my balcony door. I opened it and walked to the railing. I put my arms on the railing and leaned on it. I watched the view and let my tears escape, trying to forget the fact that my dad yelled at me looking this angry. I calmed down and went back in and put on my clothes (stage 2). I sat on my bed and grabbed my laptop. I decided to check the news website to see if there was anything about Rodas being found. I entered the news web and saw the latest news. 'Ferderio Albarran was found dead last night in a house next to the big lake in the city. Police could not locate any murder weapons or clues that might lead us to the murderer. If you want to know more information about Ferderio Albarran, click the link down here.'
I shut off my laptop and just realized what happened. My parents are murderers... They killed Ferderio. Of course, its not like I feel sad about his death but my parents? Killers? Naahhh that would be the last thing I expected from them. I heard my door open and I saw from the corner of my eye it was my mom. She closed the door and sat down next to me. As she was talking I cut her off. I asked turning my head towards her and making eye contact. She asked. I asked, still looking at her. She didn't answer my question and looked down at the bed. Well that certainly answered my question. I started to sob and my mom pulled me into a hug. I sobbed. She said and rubbed my back. I broke the hug and looked at her with watery eyes. I stood up and walked away, leaving my mom confused and sad.

Displacement
or, Deux Navires Passant dans la Nuit If you wake up in a new world, with only your memories of home to guide you, you have to trust the first people you meet. The first people Leah meets seem to know her - but not her. Leah is thrust into a fighter's role that does not quite suit her, and those who 'rescued' her do their best to help her fit in. They hint at a world that Leah can only vaguely understand without serious research and exploration, but how to do that research, when everyone believes her to be a local of this place, and too many questions might draw unwanted attention? And what about home? The more Leah learns about this world, the less she believes that she woke up on the right side of the bed - or more accurately, on the right side of the conflict. With magic being strictly regulated in her current "home," maybe it's time to uproot and look for a new set of allies... -- Displacement is a queer / lgbt bodyswap isekai: Leah Armande falls out of a Quebecois city into an unfamiliar fantasy world, and Leah Talesh falls out of her adventuring party's homeland and into an unfamiliar industrial world. The story follows both women as they navigate their new surroundings, trying at times to find a way home, at times just to pass for a local, and at times to actually make a life for themselves in their new world. Expect in-depth politics and worldbuilding, sapphic moments, foibles, and far too much time spent either in libraries or convalescing (or sometimes both).
