《Just Five Times》CHAPTER - 4

Today just did not start out right. I woke up to a huge zit on my nose. No one has a clue of how much effort and skill it takes to cover up those stupid things.
Sighing, I went into the bathroom to shower. Sighing, I walked up to the mirror to dry my hair, this was going to take a while. A high-pitched scream left my mouth as I stared in horror at the reflection staring back at me.
My hair was freaking green. My pretty blonde hair was nowhere to be seen. My heart was beating erratically, thundering against my chest seeming to look for a way out of it. I could not go to school like this.
I ran downstairs taking this dilemma to my mother. I am going to tell her that I wasn't going to school today. My first stop is going to be the parlour.
"Mom. I cannot go to school today. Not looking like this. Have you seen my hair? It has never, ever in my life been this bad. I mean look at it. Its green. Do you hear me?", I said.
"Yes honey. It looks terrible. What were you trying to do?", my mother asked chuckling to herself, "You should visit the hair dresser darling. Your hair looks hideous. You don't have to go to school today. But only today, do you understand me? Not another day can you miss school without a reason. Okay? Oh! Did I mention that your hair looks hideous?", she ended with a laugh.
"Yes, I know. You don't have to rub it in", I answered annoyed gazing at my messed-up hair in the curve of the spoon. How did this happen?
I changed and made my way to the parlour as soon as possible. After I told the hair dresser which colour I wanted it, I sat back and relaxed with a magazine. At least I got to miss school.

My hair was finally done after what felt like years. They were setting it with the dryer when my hair got stuck in it. It hurt so bad. They were trying to pull it off. There were shouts from all directions.
I felt tears running down my cheeks as I screamed my lungs out.
"Someone get it off", I cried.
The power went off and they were able to cut my hair from the dryer. Humiliated I ran. I ran away blindly, my head still throbbing. I stopped after a few minutes to realise that it was already noon. My throat was so sore from screaming so much.
My day was going so bad. First my hair was turned green, now I barely have any hair on the right side of my scalp. I am humiliated. How the fuck am I supposed to show my face in public now? I'll just go home now.
Entering the house, I made sure to close the door behind me and put the lock in place. There was something wrong here. I could just feel it. Frowning I entered the house looking around for any signs of life.
"Mom? Dad? Anyone home?", I screamed into the house. They weren't home. I knew it although I didn't know how. Mom and dad weren't home, but someone was. I could feel their presence, its like they wanted me to know they were there.
Brushing aside the foreign feeling I made my way towards my room. I stepped onto the stairs to be halted by a creaking noise. It sounded further up the stairs. My heart beat picked up slightly. I reached the top of the stairs when I heard it again, the creaking. It was not possible.
I felt a shiver run down my spine, I felt someone breathing down my neck. It couldn't be. My hoody covered my neck. Panic settled in as I turned around in my step to see nothing. Writing it off as a figment of my imagination I walked ahead towards my bedroom.

I froze in place as I heard the distinct noise of laughter. It echoed off of the walls. It came at me from every angle, not letting me decide which side it was coming from. It stopped as abruptly as it came. I looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It read two in the afternoon.
I rushed up the marble stairs into my room closing the door and locking it shut.
You can't keep me out.
A voice whispered. I felt my whole body heating up with fright. I started hyperventilating.
I am coming to get you.
The lock ticked open, the door was beginning to swing open. I ran into the bathroom, locking the door and moving to the farthest corner of the bathroom. Somehow, I felt nothing could stop what was coming for me. The note had warned me. I should not have taken Justin's death lightly.
I caught sight of myself in the bathroom mirror. A scream rose to my lips. My face drained of any blood.
There was a slit across my throat, with blood running down the slit. My hair was a terrible green and uneven from todays events. My eyes were lifeless as my lips formed a sickening grin. My clothes were blotted with blood as more streamed from my neck.
Tears rose into my eyes as I stared at my reflection. Laughter erupted from everywhere. A note fell in front of me. It was the same note I had received.
I am coming for you.
I ran towards the door tugging it open. Forgetting in my haste that it was locked in the first place. I ran towards the main door with no interruptions. Just as I was getting my hand on the knob I felt a force pushing me back.
Lying on the floor I looked up to see him. I knew him.
He smiled at me.
I am coming for you.
He lunged.

A Broken World [Dropped Pending Rewrite]
This work has been dropped- because I am rewriting it. Look forward to the new and improved "A Broken World," now available HERE on Royal Road! Three thousand years ago, Demonic creatures invaded the world. Though their power seemed irresitable, a band of heroes managed to steal the knowledge of summoning rituals and worlds from them and created, "The Millenial Summoning." A powerful magic that would bring forth a being from another world with the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods with him. Teaching prayers and invocations that blessed humanities legions and began to push back the demons, founding of the "The Church of the Spoken Word" rose to power and a stalemate was reached. Two thousand years ago, that stalemate was broken by the second casting of "The Millenial Summoning," and the arrival of "The First Sorceress," who taught humanity the basics of magic and enchanting. With the power of the Sorceress, the mages, and the priests the tide turned and the Demonic hordes began to be shoved back, signaling hopes of a golden age for mankind. One thousand years ago, the hopes of final victory and a new dawn for mankind were dashed by traitors who slew the participants of the ritual and took their places, using the ritual to bring forth a godlike being from the demons home world, "The Demon King," for no human knew his name, erased millenia of growth reducing humanity to barely a fragment of its former glory. Now the ritual is being cast again, and a new being is being summoned... In our world, after nearly two decades of studious work, Luke Jaeger is making his dream come true. Working and going to school full time, sacrificing his health and social life in his youth, Lucas obtained Doctorates in genetics and virology, as well as associate degrees in business and accounting. The modern world is not easy, and despite it nearly driving him mad from stress, this was the bare minimum he needed to be approved for a business loan to start a company focusing on commercial genetic therapy. Despite the challange of getting his business running, Lucas feels that his work has finally paid off. Lucas's car never left the banks lot, nor was Lucas ever seen again in our world.
