《devoid love • tate langdon》CHAPTER FOUR: NOISES
Advertisement
The weekend was here, meaning I didn't have to deal with the idiots at school. My aunt had told me when I woke up she wouldn't be here, on an errand or something. So I had basically the whole morning to myself. So I decided to do a little exploring my new house.
I started with the first floor. I looked in every room, working myself up. I went to the second floor, opening a door to a spare bedroom. It was small, a little window the far end of the room. I walked in. The wooden floor was dirty, and dusty. Guess this room hadn't been cleaned in a while.
I ran a finger on the window. Dust lingered on my finger and I brushed it off. I couldn't even see out of the window itself. I suddenly heard a creek behind me and I twirled around. Just as I did I swore I saw something pass by. I rose a brow. I stepped outside the doorway. I looked to my right and down the hall but I found nothing. I felt a chill ride up my spine. I had always had that instinct. I could tell when something is wrong.
"Ally?" I called out. No one answered. I walked down the hallway cautiously. All I saw were the many rooms and stairs under me. I couldn't see any doors open so I breathed out, walking down the stairs. That is when I heard giggling. I froze, spinning behind me. I couldn't see anything. But I had just heard giggling. Like two boys laughing. I walked a bit faster down the stairs and to the first floor. I looked back up the stairs. Nothing. I was being paranoid. I gave a slight chuckle and continued to walk.
I looked at other bedrooms. I had walked into every bathroom. On every floor. I swore this place was like a maze. A maze of doors. Rooms. Every time I turned it was something new. To be entirely truthful I thought it was a bit creepy. How everything was so quiet. I had never liked silence. It always made me twitch. I needed noise. That is why when it was quiet I would blast music or make something happen.

A sort of habit of mine. A weird one at that. Maybe that is why I never really had many friends. People thought I was weird. Strange. A girl whos family was torn apart. Torn apart by an accident. An accident that was never supposed to happen in the first place. It flashed before my eyes. A headache striking my brain so fast I flinched. I stopped mid step, trying to make it go away. After awhile it did. The pain coming down slowly to a point I could barely feel it. But it was still there.
I sighed. Once again my mind destroyed my train of thought. It was funny though. The mind and thoughts were supposed to work together, not apart. I rubbed my temples before walking again. I wonder if there was anything to do around here than just walk around. I was starting to become bored. And I was not bored easily. I took my phone out from my back pocket. 11:15. So I had another hour or so before Ally got home.
I looked in the living room. Ally had gotten to work on some sort of mural. Behind the wallpaper I was some of it. I went up, tearing a piece off. I saw a pig with fangs over a man with a white beard and red cloak. I shuddered. Whoever owned this place before us had some seriously bad taste in art. It wasn't the disgusting factor about it, that part I quite liked. But it was the vibe.
The horrible, itching vibe of something...bad. I just couldn't quite place it. It was if cold hands slid up my neck, making the hairs on my neck stand on edge. I moved away, deciding to go look at other things. So I turned around, walking out of the room.

So far I had searched everything. I came to the other pair of stairs and was about to pass it when I spotted something. I saw a little door on the white paint. I didn't see this door before. My curiosity took over me and I reached for the door handle.
I pulled it open and I saw only darkness. I felt a bit cautious but descended down. Dust blew in my face and I coughed. I kept walking down. I saw a bit of light and came to the floor. It was stone, different from the normal wood. A white bench was pressed against the left of the wall right in front of me and several spiderwebs hung from the corners.
I turned and saw a small room. I saw a light switch and turned it on. A dim light lit up on the ceiling and I could see the room clearly. It was grey. All of it. The floor, stone. The walls, cement. I saw a rocking chair to the far right. I felt a wind move past my back, making bits of my hair move. I turned around. How was there wind? The only window here was closed. I felt chills once more and I thought maybe I should leave. I backed away slowly, going up the steps, I left.
Even as I left I stared at the basement door. And as I did I felt a tug on my hair. I whipped around. Nothing was there. That was enough.
"Who is there?" I called out. Nothing once more. I growled in the back of my throat, covering my fear with anger. I walked or more like jogged very fast to my room. I just wouldn't deal with it. I was going to stay in my room until Ally got home. Probably bringing home food. Then we could watch some movies. I could read and listen to music. Nothing big. Just sit and read a book. Just like I had always done. So I walked up the stairs, ignoring the feel of eyes on me. P-a-r-a-n-o-i-d. Something I had always had and always with have.
Soon I came to my door. I opened it up, looking at the ground. But when I looked up once more, I gasped at what I saw.

Seeking Elysium
Elysium Ling is a returnee. She’s been to an alternate world, coerced into fighting their wars, and somehow returned alive. Now, 13 years later, she finds herself again taken to a foreign world – this time, by her own choice. Not the same world that she returned from, but a foreign world nonetheless. There, struggling in an unknown world, utterly alone, she has a chance encounter with a young lady with a lovely voice. An encounter which would spark a chain of events that would irrevocably shape the world around them. That young lady’s name is Rosalind. This is her story. Disclaimer/Trigger Warnings (Please Read!) THIS WORK WILL MOST LIKELY CONTAIN BOTH HOMOSEXUAL AND INCESTUOUS UNDERTONES. IT WILL ALSO HAVE OCCASIONAL DESCRIPTIONS OF GORE THAT CAN GET REASONABLY GRAPHIC. PLEASE DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE UNDER THE LEGAL AGE IN YOUR COUNTRY TO CONSUME SUCH CONTENT AS MENTIONED ABOVE, OR IF YOU ARE TRIGGERED BY HOMOSEXUALITY, GORE OR INCEST. Notes on Relation to Lily Ex Machina While this story is intended to be a sequel to my first work, Lily Ex Machina (LxM), I will be writing it in a manner that does not require readers to have read LxM to understand it. While having read LxM will likely enhance your enjoyment of this work(I hope), I am intending for this story to be able to stand on its own legs. As such, certain worldbuilding elements that I have expanded upon in LxM will likely be repeated in Seeking Elysium(SEly). As such, for newcomers, it should not be an issue to follow this story without prior knowledge of LxM. On the other hand, for my returning readers, I do beg your forgiveness for forcing you to read through stuff you already know. I’ll do my best to try and make it interesting, but no guarantees of success, I’m afraid. On the other hand, if you’re a newcomer to this series and enjoy SEly, I do hope you’ll take the time to read Lily Ex Machina as well, if only to get more information of the backstories of some characters. Update Schedule I will only post completed volumes on RRL; if you would like to follow the story while it is ongoing, you may do so at my website. I update twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. Supporters on my Patreon get access to chapters a day earlier.
