《War of the Sexes》Chapter 6
Advertisement
My stomach hadn't stopped hurting. No part of my body had, but my stomach outweighed the other pain I was feeling. I didn't get dinner that night-not that I could eat anyways.
There would be times when all I could feel was pain. Pain everywhere. Everything hurt. I hated those moments. I could only lie on the ground, trying to be
quiet while moaning in agony the entire time.
When I wasn't in constant pain, I was left with the dull reminder that I was surely in hell. During the peaceful times, all I would be able to do was think
about Clayton's anger. I wanted to know why those two were so against females. And what were the Sides?
For the next day and a half that was all that happened. In and out of pain, in and out of thoughts. By the second day of this, my stomach was growling.
I hadn't been fed in what felt like forever.
With the pain from the kick already there, hunger only made it worse. I could barely move when I heard the door slam shut and footsteps coming
down.
I straightened up slightly, looking through slits in my eyes to see who it was. I groaned internally once I saw John's face from the shadows.
"Get up" He growled at me, a bag of chips in his hand. My eyes skimmed the bag, wondering what type of food it was. I had half a mind to rip that bag
out of his hands right there. But I knew better than that.
I groaned, trying weakly to push myself up. He rolled his eyes, reaching down and grabbing the back of my neck. I tightened automatically, chills
going down my spine. He pulled me up that way, forcing me to stand. I knew I would fall over before I finished whatever he was going to do to me today.

Hunger wasn't even the problem. It was my ankle.
John pushed me forward. I grabbed onto something to try and keep myself up along the way as I ventured towards the stairs. I had never gone up
them, nor wondered what they led to. I didn't care. I knew as soon as I could walk, I would be out of here faster than a cheetah.
The first step was murderous. I let out a cry of pain which earned me a jab in the back with something sharp.
"Shut your mouth, bitch" He growled "Keep going"
Every other step I couldn't help but cry out. I was surprised I could walk at all, let alone climb stairs. The pain was doubling what it was when I first
bruised it. Tears were slowly falling down my face when I finally made it to the top step. I sighed in relief, a soft sob escaping in the process.
John continued to push me forward, muttering something hurtful about me. I paid little attention to it, not surprised to hear it coming from me.
We stopped behind an arm chair. John poked the ruffle of hair that peaked out from above it. The hair moved to reveal a face.
Clayton looked surprised to see me in the light for the first time ever. But I wasn't looking at him, I was looking at my surroundings. It looked like a
normal living room. It had nothing motherly in it, but contained a couch, two arm chairs, and a television set in the middle.
It reminded me of Jim's place.
Jim
The name hit my heart hard. I wondered if he thought I'd abandoned him. Just when we had things going on the right track, I got kidnapped. Of
course my luck would let that happen. I felt my eyes start to water at the memory of his face, his laugh, his eyes, everything.

"I think the bitch has something to say to you" John's voice startled me from my thoughts. I glanced up at him, hoping he couldn't see my watery
eyes.
"S-s-sorry" I stuttered.
"That's more like it" He smirked and grabbed my elbow. John roughly pulled me away from Clayton. I screamed slightly as I put weight on my ankle.
"Shut up!" He growled
"John!" Clayton said, getting up from his seat. "Chill dude. I'm going to talk to her"
"Well let me know if she gives you any problems" John said, glaring at me
"I can handle her"
I hated how they spoke of me like I wasn't there. John pushed past me, walking out of a door which I assumed was the front door.
Clayton watched it, noticing how it locked. His eyes slowly turned to me, motioning for me to stand in front of me. I bit my lip, hoping I wasn't about to
be beaten. I crossed my fingers behind my back, hoping he wouldn't see it.

Spiteful Healer
In the year 2090, technology has advanced to the point where Simulation Boxes, (Sim Box for short) are common place, allowing for the user to link up their brain's neural network to a full dive Simulation. While initially used for educational purposes, recently a large gaming company, Averon, released a fully fledged immersive MMORPG simulation where users can become anyone they desire, level up, choose their class, and become a hero or a villain. The name of this simulation is The Shattered World Online. Eli Winters had no interest in playing it. His father, a jobless bum who spent his entire life playing games in the hope of becoming a famous player or streamer, was able to use the release of The Shattered World Online to gain wealth and fame, quickly becoming the number one player and a household name as the game took the world by storm. He immediately abandoned Eli and his mother in favor of being with someone from his guild, despite his mother having worked two jobs to support them and raise Eli by herself. Eli had nothing but spite for his father and the game. When Eli's best friend convinces him to try out the game, his father's fame begins to interfere, culminating in him being singled out and shunned by his peers, and his father offering to pay for his university tuition in return for Eli hiding their relationship and quitting the game. Instead of complying with his father's wishes, Eli decides to prove to everyone how useless a guy his father is by challenging him that if Eli is able to surpass him in the game world he must delete his account and quit his streaming career. His father accepts the challenge believing his son to be useless at games - but Eli will soon show him just how ambitious a spiteful person can be. ----------- Updated Daily
