《Flatmates》4
Advertisement
I surprising wake the next morning feeling fine - considering when I came to bed I spent a good half hour hugging the toilet, I would call it a miracle.
I slip out to the kitchen and grab a bottle of water from the fridge, and return back to my bed. It was Saturday, it was early, and I just wanted to chill.
I snuggled up under my duvet watching YouTube on my laptop for a few hours. I was really getting into YouTube since checking out Alex and George, and there were hundreds of video's on just their channels alone for me to watch.
I must have drifted off back to sleep, as I heard a gentle knock followed by my name being called.
'Yeah?' I groan, pushing the duvet down slightly so I can see the bedroom door. George pops his head around, his face clearly showing that he was feeling worse for wear.
'I come bearing food and coffee' he groans, walking straight in and flopping himself down onto my bed. Alex soon followed looking as though he wished the alcohol had finished him off so that he didn't have to live through his hangover, flopping down on the other side.
These boys know nothing about boundaries it would seem. But they come bearing food so I won't complain.
'What were you watching?' George asks as he stuffs burger into his mouth, washing it down with his coffee. 'Alex? Really? You need to watch my videos - much better' he laughed.
'What you chatting? My channel is clearly the alpha' Alex mumbles through a mouthful of chicken.
'Jesus you two. I was watching both, just that was the last video I watched' I laughed. These boys love to bicker.

Once the food and coffee had all been devoured, the three of just laid on my bed. Too stuffed to move. I was under the duvet, the boys were on top. Somehow I had ended up with the short straw as Alex had one pillow, George had the other, and I had.. the headboard?

'So the plans for this evening' George starts, rolling slightly to face me and Alex. 'Will wants the three of us to go to his for drinks.'
'Why me? He doesn't even know me?' I ask.
'Well it would seem you made quite the impression on him when you fell at his feet.' George winked, like actually winked. For Christ sake, what I had I lumbered myself with moving here?
'Okay okay. But what do I wear? Is it casual? Dressy? I NEED TO KNOW' I say slightly louder than planned, stressing out at the idea of people I didn't know.
'Well I will be wearing trackies if that helps?' George laughed.
'I will be wearing the comfiest fucking clothes I own' Alex added, groaning again as he clutched his head. 'And maybe an icepack for this fucking headache.'
I hand Alex some painkillers from my bedside table along with my bottle of water. 'That doesn't really help does it? What if I wear jogging bottoms and then there are other girls all dressed up?' I stress.
'Other girls? Fuck sake Jess, we don't know other girls' George shoved me gently on the arm. 'Besides, it's just you, me, Alex, Will and James. Nothing big.'
'Well why didn't you say? Do you think I could get away with pyjamas?' I laugh, shoving him back.

Apollyon's Curse
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chase after the dream of eternity, of living forever, rarely find a happy ending. They are either struck by the grim truth of reality, give up, and return to mortality or face a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter often the worse fate, as they come to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained. Ultimately, the common thread in these stories is that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. People either realize it early and give up or are doomed to inevitably face its consequences. In the world Enrich lives in, that saying does hold merit. Every pathway towards eternal life has shackles of its own. They bring those high above down to the ground, evening the playing field. It is thanks to these fundamental laws that ambitious mortals are able to defy the heavens and achieve immortality themselves. The variety of methods result in each of these bindings varying in intensity and degree of freedom. Enrich’s path doesn't break this trend. Though, after what he did to himself, most wouldn’t even consider him a living thing anymore. On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, recast into Apollyon. An artifact, a weapon, is eternal, after all. As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload the curse to someone else? Mortals throw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in desperation. Eventually, someone will be willing to foot the bill. Most will if given the chance. The bait is far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge. All at their fingertips. If only they say “yes”. And Apollyon is very willing to help any lost souls. If they give up everything in return, of course.
