《Only you can make me feel better... (Calamity x Drift)》Chapter 36: Tricked
Advertisement
I was starting to wake up with a light headache, making me groan slightly. I felt an arm go around my waist, holding it. As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw something on my right side. My head slowly turned to the right side, and I was met with... SANCTUM?! I widen my eyes and wanted to scream for help and stand up to run away, but I couldn't as I noticed a bandanna was tied around my mouth, and I was sitting on the ground with my wrists in shackles. I let out a muffled whimper because of how scared I was. I didn't know what was going on. How is he alive? I'm 100% sure I killed him!
Sanctum said chuckling. He said. Damn he was right. Sanctum explained. I widen my eyes as I heard this. No... Drift would never let anything like this happen. I know he's lying! I noticed Sanctum was eyeing my body, which did make me feel uncomfortable. He said with a low voice as he got closer. I tried squirming away as he was still holding my waist, but couldn't because the chains were too short. I whimpered as he got real close, since I couldn't move anywhere. Sanctum whispered in my ear, sending shivers down my spine. His hand, which was holding my waist, slowly made it under my coat, and then slid under my blouse with his cold hand touching my bare back, making me slightly squeak because of his sudden cold touch. I got goosebumps all over my body and shivered. I felt his hand creep up, but just then, the door opened, making Sanctum quickly back away from me. Thank god! I don't need to know what Sanctum would've done to me if that person didn't enter.
Dusk entered and looked at us. Dusk said looking at me, smirking. I changed my look from a fearful face to an angry face. She then turned to Sanctum. Dusk asked. Sanctum answered, standing up and walking out of the cell. He locked the door of the cell and took a last glance at me before he and Dusk left the room. I now had the time to inspect the place I was and apparently I'm in a sort of dungeon I think. It's dark, but there is some light from a few torches on the walls. Not to mention, it was pretty cold, but thank god I had my coat. This place does give me really creepy vibes. I just hope the others will come for me real soon. I can't stand this place. But I'm mostly worried about Sunstrider. I really hope the team found her and took her back to safety.

As me and Dusk were walking back upstairs, someone decided to chit chat again. "You're going to pay for what you just did to Calamity!" Drift yelled. I said. Drift said but I cut him off. I commanded and Drift huffed.
When we made it back to the throne room, Dusk just handed me a small piece of paper. I asked raising a brow. Dusk answered, crossing her arms over her chest, looking at me with a smirk. I read what was written on the piece of paper. 'If you want her back, come to the small house close to Frosty flights at 12 pm. Make sure no one stays back at the HQ, otherwise she'll meet her fate...' I look up to Dusk with a slight confused face.
I asked. Dusk said. I suggested. Dusk tapped her chin, thinking about my suggestion. I added. Dusk mentioned. I said. Dusk had a questioning face. I suggested. Dusk said smirking. I smirked back and we started walking back towards the dungeon.
As we made in the dungeon, Calamity's head shot up as she heard our footsteps. Dusk unlocked the door of the cell and walked in, with me behind her. Dusk asked with a low voice, yet kindly. She kneeled down in front of her and I stood next to Dusk. I noticed Calamity tried to avoid eye contact with me. Dusk pulled the bandanna down, making her able to speak again. Calamity asked glaring at Dusk. Dusk said, but only received a more deadlier glare from Calamity. Dusk said. Calamity gave Dusk a confused face. Calamity asked, slightly raising her voice. Dusk said, getting frustrated. Calamity said, slightly shooting forwards. I could see the rage in Dusk's eyes grow...
Just then, Dusk brutally slapped Calamity's cheek. Because of the huge impact, the side of her head hit the wall quite hard, making Calamity loudly moan in pain. I heard Drift gasp in my head, but that made me smirk. Calamity slightly panted and slowly turned her head back to us, but looking down. Dusk harshly grabbed Calamity by her jaw and made her look up. Blood started dripping from her head down to her face pretty severely. Drift yelled in anger and shock. I asked chuckling and I heard Drift growl. Dusk yelled, while her grip on her jaw tightened, making her sharp nails slowly dig into Calamity's skin. Calamity answered weakly with her eyes slightly closed, still panting. Dusk released her jaw, making her head drop from weakness.
She then growled in anger, raising her hand in the air, ready to slap Calamity again. Drift begged. Before Dusk's hand flew down to her cheek, I quickly grabbed her wrist, stopping her from slapping her. Dusk yelled, pulling her hand out of my grip. Drift sighed in relief. Drift said over and over again. I said glaring at her. Dusk asked, raising her voice. She was really mad. I yelled back. Dusk asked glaring at me with dagger eyes. I said.

Dusk looked at me with a deadly face, and so did I. Dusk said coldly to Calamity and ruthlessly put the bandanna back on Calamity's mouth, making her wince in pain since Dusk had no sense of mercy right now. Dusk said frustrated, but was slightly more calm. She then walked out of the cell. I don't know why, but I had the intention to wipe the blood off her face. But before I could, I got interrupted. Dusk said, putting a hand on her hip. I sighed and stood up, also walking out of the cell. Dusk locked it and left the dungeon, walking back upstairs with me walking right behind her.
Dusk complained as she sat down on her throne, and so did I on my own throne. I said reassuring her.
Dusk asked looking over to me. I nodded and showed it to her. Dusk explained and I nodded. For the rest of the time, we didn't do anything special...
As it quickly became morning, John woke up and sat up right. He stretched his arms and relaxed again, looking around. He noticed a piece of paper next to him, on the nightstand. He was confused, because he doesn't remember that being there when he went to sleep. He picked it up and read what it said. His eyes widened as he realized this note is from the people who kidnapped Calamity. And he was even more shocked that they got in the house to leave this note. He jumped out of bed, quickly changed in his outfit and woke everyone up in the house, telling them to go to the HQ because of an emergency. He also called Brite and Raptor to go to the HQ. John was now waiting at the HQ, sitting at the table. He was fidgeting with his fingers from panic.
After some time, everyone arrived at the HQ. They all sat down and looked at John. Dire asked worried. John just gave the note to Dire, because he was still in slight shock. Dire read it and widen his eyes. He mumbled in disbelief. Raptor asked curiously. Dire read out loud and looked up to the others. Sunstrider exclaimed. John finally spoke, catching Sunstriders attention. Brite said. Abstract asked. Brite yelled, shooting forward, with her hands slammed on the table. Raptor said softly, putting an arm around her shoulder. Brite calmed down and sighed.
John said, looking at Abstract, and he nodded.Raptor asked. John said, rubbing his chin. Carbide asked. Technique said nodding. Dire suggested. John nodded, looking at Dire. John said looking at the clock on the wall. Everyone agreed and went back home to get ready.
After everyone got ready and had their stuff, they met up at the HQ again. They started walking towards the snow area. It was a longer walk than usual, since it was all the way across the map. But after a tiring walk, they made it at the small house close to Frosty Flights. They didn't see anyone there, so they got a little suspicious. John said quietly, but loud enough for the others to hear.
Someone suddenly said. They all turned to where the voice came from, and saw Sanctum in front of them. They were all shocked because of how fast he appeared all of a sudden. John quickly aimed his scar at him. John asked sternly. Sanctum said chuckling. Carbide demanded, also aiming his scar at Sanctum. Sanctum said, gesturing to Sunstrider, who was terrified. Everyone turned to Sunstrider and noticed her scared look. Technique went over to her, putting an arm around her to calm her down. She said, almost whispering. Abstract asked, looking at Sunstrider. Sunstrider said, struggling slightly because of her fear towards Sanctum. Everyone got shocked as they heard this. Brite got furious and looked at Sanctum really angry. Brite lashed out to Sanctum. Sanctum didn't say anything and just smirked. But you could still see that, even though he had a mask on. Brite asked, as her angry face expression changed into a sad one. Sanctum said, making Brite and the rest sigh in relief.
Sanctum added.
Brite yelled. Technique said, also getting frustrated. Sanctum said shrugging his shoulders. Carbide asked in anger and shock. Sanctum said and chuckled. John said looking angry. Sanctum asked. Dire said with furrowed brows. Sanctum said and laughed evilly. Dire yelled. Sanctum simply replied. Raptor asked. Sanctum explained. John said shocked.Sanctum said with a fake sweet voice.
John said, coldly glaring at Sanctum. Sanctum asked glaring. John said, glaring back at Sanctum. Sanctum said laughing evilly. Abstract yelled pointing to Sanctum. And blasted off in the air. John said smirking and pulled out a small pistol, but it didn't look like an ordinary pistol. He aimed at Sanctum and pulled the trigger. A thin electric laser shot Sanctum, making him groan in pain and fall to the ground, knocked out. Everyone walked over to Sanctum's unconscious body and looked at him. Raptor said. John said. Dire and Raptor picked Sanctum up, and the team started walking back to the HQ.

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

Journey of my Core
I have a hard time referring anything that I write to as 'Original'. The longer we as a species exist the harder it is to be truly original, I am certainly influenced by all that I read and watch Including but not limited to J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, and all of the stories here on Royal Road. From the start the MC is only able to comprehend the most basic of what is impacting it with very little to no understanding of the MC's surroundings. There may be updates in the future, but I am in no way a consistant writer. I will never claim to be the best artist, but I drew a representation for my story. Procrastination... Procrastination...

The Puppy Project
"Give me my puppy!" I demanded, my eyes ablazed with fiery anger."Correction, it's not your puppy. It's our puppy," He smiled, but it was anything but sweet nor happy."You know what? Damn you! You're nothing but a cold, emotionless, and heartless bad boy!" I sneered, glaring at him fiercely.He chuckled at my words, taking a step closer to me. He slammed his hand unto the wall, trapping me, before leaning in close. "You got that right sweetheart but I think you got one thing wrong." He said, his eyes piercing straight into mine."And what is that?" I managed to asked, my throat seeming to get drier the more he looked at me."I'm neither one of those when I'm with you," and with those words, slammed his lips into mine.#1 in Strong-Female Character - 1/29/21#1 in Sarcasm - 2/4/21#2 in BadBoy - 2/13/21#3 in Teen Fiction - 2/13/21#1 in Mysterious - 3/4/21Copyrighted 2017.
