《My Mute Mate》Ch.7
Advertisement
As we get to the pack house, Symali starts to slow down until she comes to a complete stop. Mason and Rosie turn to us with curious faces. I look up at Symali and see her wide eyed.
"She needs a room! Imma go set one up. Mason, heads up!" She yells suddenly and throws me towards Mason, who easily swoops down and catches me from her short throw.
'Well then.' I scribble down and his chest vibrates with a low chuckle.
"Don't worry. She's always like this." Mason says and I go to laugh but all that came out was a sickening gurgle sound. I immediately cover my mouth and look back at my hand, only to find it covered in blood.
"Wait.. Is the wound still fresh?" Rosie asks and I slowly nod. They look at each other for a millisecond before sprinting to a house, which I'm assuming is the pack house. I smelt the house before I saw it honestly. It REEKED with the smell of sweat and oddly, Cupcakes. Strange. Usually those two wouldn't go too well together, but it's not as bad as you would probably think.
Rosie opens the door as Mason races me through a maze of halls that seems to go on endlessly. We come to a stop in front of a seemingly inopenable door but Mason opened it with his free arm very easily. This room does not smell like the rest of the house, it smells like antiseptic and everything is white. Like, hospital white. It makes me sick to my stomach just looking at it. A male doctor rushes over and examines our neck.
"We're in luck. It's still save-able. But we need to operate on her immediately." The doctor says after a minute or two.

Operate?! Like, surgery?!?!
They place me down on a table and stick a needle into my arm. Everything becomes dizzy and blurry before going black.
~Le Time Skip bc Batman stole my fries~
I wake up, feeling dizzy and in a TON of pain. I make a guttal sound as I roll over, just to be restricted by something. I open my eyes slightly to the scary sight of needles and wires. My eyes flash wide open as I see them everywhere. In my arms, in my legs, down my throat, and everywhere else possible. I let out a silent cry then see a sight even more terrifying. Blake. He walks over to me slowly, ever so slowly. When Suddenly he grabs my arm and yanks the wires out. I drop to the floor, unable to use my legs.
"Get up you stupid slave, you've got cleaning to do." He growls viciously, pure hatred in his eyes. I try to stand but the wire in my throat still restricts me. Its my airway thing, to keep me breathing. He rips it from my throat roughly, and everything goes white.
I spring up in my bed and clutch my throat. I panic and take in my surroundings. I'm still in the hospital but instead of a deadly Blake, there's Symali, Rosie, Mason, the doctor, and a strange man and woman looking very concerned as they talk in the corner, their eyebrows bunched together.
I sit up and open my mouth to try to speak. Only to find pain. Extreme pain. Symali looks my way and freaks out. They all rush over.
"Don't try to talk dear. You just got back from surgery." The doctor says calmly and lays me down. "Just go back to sleep honey and when you wake everything will be better."
Everything goes dark again.

AS LONG AS IT'S INTERESTING, ISN'T IT FINE TO LIVE AS A DUNGEON? (Hiatus)
[This story is now in Hiatus and I dont know if I'll come back to work on it again.] The story of a girl with a flare for creating a show that’s willing to let a lot of things slide so long as it’s interesting. She is summoned as the core of a newly birthed dungeon. With the power to create and destroy, what poor thing will her curiosity draw her to next? What interesting things will she show us? Note: This is just something I'm doing in between doing things. Please expect shoddy quality, a poor updating schedule, and significant rewrites. Thanks.

Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author.

8 83EARTH SAGE DOESN'T WANT TO BE BOTHERED
Ash Sage dies in a tragic accident and is reborn in a new world and given a second chance. Seems pretty fimilair right? Well, instead of trying to better this new world or going on a quest to slay a demon king all Sage wants is to save up enough money to buy a house and live far away from everyone. He'll have to make use of his only skill, Earth Magic, to try and get money so he can live a life where he won't be bothered by anyone. Much to his dismay, to make money he'll have to deal with his least favorite thing, people. It's a fantasy comedy with a lazy hero who justs wants to be left alone.

8 208Cornerstone (rough draft)
When a call goes out into the universe,a young man, down on his luck, decides to answer. Ripped from his old life and even his body, Jack Hearth must now decide what needs to be done to protect those he has claimed as his own. Not all is as it seems though. Those in power do not approve of his quest and will seek to bring ruin to his efforts. This is my very first work, so I ask for understanding should I make a mistake. This story is not on of those stories where the MC gains power and immediately decides to use it for violence. While those types of stories are fun, this isn't one of those. I will average betweern 1k-2k words per chapter for the foreseeable future. Please leave a comment below to let me know how I am doing. Lore chapters have been removed Chapter release schedule -friday evening -sunday evening For the copies of my new draft check out my patreon https://www.patreon.com/user?u=46645070

I vaguely heard the words, "Don't forget me," as the world around me faded out.
