《Adopted By My Chemical Romance》Chapter 20

I felt like I had been punched in the stomach as I woke up to beeping and bright lights. Everything seemed blurry. A mask covered my face and my hair was everywhere. I tried to move it away but wires kept my hands away from my face. I felt an itchy blanket laying over me. As my vision cleared a little more I tilted my head side to side only to reveal that I was alone. I felt the bandages that covered my wrists. They'd found me. How long had it been since they'd found me? Who found me? What if they put me on suicide watch? I pulled the blanket into my fist and felt a tear roll down my cheek before the dark pulled me back under.

A worn hand brushed against mine. It had a similar feel to Frank's. My eyes fluttered open to Frank sitting beside my hospital bed. He smiled at me.
"Don't do anything like that ever again. I thought you were gone. I thought I'd lost you." Frank said. I tapped my mask , signalling for him to remove it.
"How long have I been out?" I asked hoarsely as I hadn't used my voice in a while.
"A week and a half." Frank answered. Frank slowly lifted my bed up so I could face him easier.
"Where's everyone else?" I asked.
"They're at home apart from Gee.He's waiting outside. He came with me when he got the call that you woke up." Frank answered. I nodded and swallowed.
"When can I go home?" I asked pleadingly. Frank glanced down at his feet.
"You aren't. The doctors won't let you." Frank answered glumly.
"What? What do you mean?" I cried. Frank looked back at me and took my hand.

"They're referring you as an inpatient to a teen mental health unit until further notice. You've been sectioned as you're too much of a risk and we can't change it but you're only going to be 50 miles away. I'll see you everyday. I promise." Frank explained. The tears dropped down my face.
"You can't let them take me. Please." I begged. Frank shook his head and squeezed my hand tightly.
"I can't. There's no way I can until you're up to 55 kilos minimum. You're sectioned." Frank replied. I shook my head.
"You shouldn't have found me. I should be dead. I don't want to be in a fucking nut house and you don't even try to get me out." I cried. Frank's hand left mine. We sat in silence for a few minutes.
"It wasn't me who found you. It was Bandit. She went to find you Jade but your bathroom was locked. She knew something was wrong as you had no need to be in there and she found a note in your sketchbook that she found so she went to Gerard." Frank whispered. My stomach dropped. Bandit found me? The guilt hit me like a wave. I should have died. I shouldn't be hearing that my sister found my locked door and the suicide note I wrote six months ago. I should be with my best friend.

Catalyst: Avowed
The year is 605, and in your home— the country of Corcaea— the souls of mankind belong to demons. A phenomenon known as the "Catalyst" is what's to blame. This diabolical phenomenon lurks within every man, woman, and child. It can turn any human into a demon, if they fall prey to one, all-consuming element. It can be anything. Fear. Grief. Generosity. Even love. In a land where Gods are real and Corcaea's theocracy is the last hope for mankind, you follow in the footsteps of Father Richard Anscham: a deeply disturbed young priest, the leader of the Church of Mercy, and the foremost researcher of the Catalyst. Despite completing a holy mission from the Goddess of Mercy, obtaining a holy Relic, and escaping from demon-infested ruins, Father Anscham is in greater peril than ever before. Ravaged in mind, body, and soul, the solace he begs to receive from the Church of Flesh is impeded by a cruel lesson: the ramifications of a life spent sacrificing everything one has for others. See through the harrowing eyes of a man at his wit's end; through a dark fantasy tale of horror, hope, and desperation. Search for the cure. Conquer your personal demons. Welcome to Catalyst! As this is an archive of Catalyst Quest (an interactive, collaborative story), the prompts that were included with the original run of Avowed have been stripped, and the story is presented like a traditional novel for your reading convenience. If you would like to read Catalyst in its original format or participate in current events, you can find us here, on Sufficient Velocity. This book is complete! The story will continue with Catalyst: Calunoth, just as soon as I am done revising its content for here on Royal Road.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.
