The dining room was filled with the clinking of silverware against glass plates as everyone dug into the evening meal. The atmosphere was thick with a tension, until Monty broke the silence. "What happened to your face, by the way?" Monty asked, his mouth half-full of cloud-bread as he looked at M. M didn't answer immediately. He took a slow, deliberate sip of his drink, his eyes sliding over to me with a sharp, piercing intensity. "Well, you see... someone..."

  • The new worlder   FUCK! IT HURTS!

    I woke up to Monty’s shouts outside the door. "She’s here? She’s alive?" I didn’t know how long I had sat under the spray of the water yesterday, crying until my eyes burned. By the time I had crawled out, the house was dark and everyone had already gone to bed. I had peeled off my wet, ruined clothes and looked at the gash on my arm. Too exhausted to care, I simply tied a sweatshirt around it, hoping for the best. I had walked into our room and collapsed into bed. There, I had buried my face in his pillow, breathing in his scent, and cried some more.Help me... Connie. Help me... Connie. Nooo.It was a dream, the same sentence, over and over again, haunting my sleep. Was it a trick, or did he actually need help? Hadn't I told him I would help him when I first arrived? Why couldn't I? Because he kills people. He is a walking instrument of torture. I pulled on some clothes and stepped out into the hallway to check on

  • The new worlder   New Worlder. Constance. C. Connie.

    New Worlder. Constance. C. Connie.There is only one person who called me Connie. And he is supposed to be at home, waiting for me. "It’s not true," I whispered to the empty air. "It can’t be true." I tried to rationalize it, my mind racing to find any other explanation. Noxius has horns, Miles doesn't. Noxius has those obsidian claws, Miles has hands that held me tenderly just hours ago. They don't even have the same build. It had to be a mistake. Noxius must have overheard my name and just decided to taunt me with a nickname in the heat of battle. That happens... right? People do that. But the seed of doubt had already taken root, cold and heavy in my stomach. I had to get home. I had to check on Monty and his broken arm, and I had to see Miles. I needed to see him standing there, brooding and whole, just to prove to myself that the nightmare I just fought wasn't the same man I had just given myself to.I started to run, ignoring the st

  • The new worlder   Please, don't make it hurt

    Noxius wasn't just a brute; he was fast. Faster than I could track while riding a high of pure ego. He spun around with a snarl, his own claws extended Before I could reset my stance, he lashed out, his claws tearing through the sleeve of my sweater and deep into my upper arm. The force of the blow sent me spinning. And rolled through the grit and dust. I scrambled to a sitting position and immediately clamped my hand over the wound. I pulled my hand back for a split second to see the damage. Blood, bright, hot, and way too much of it, was already soaking into the wool of my sleeve. The gashes were deep, four angry red lines carved into my skin. "Damn it," I hissed through gritted teeth. It burned like fire, and I knew right then that if I survived this, I’d be wearing a permanent reminder of this day on my arm. It wasn't life-threatening, I didn't think, but the shock of the pain made my vision swim. Suddenly, he lunged. His grip was like iron as he dragged me up

  • The new worlder   Thwack

    I felt an invisible grip wrap around my ankle. With a violent jerk of his power, I was dragged out from my hiding spot. My palm scraped across a jagged shard of glass on the floor, leaving a stinging trail of blood, but I barely had time to feel it before I was yanked into the air. I hung there, dangling upside down, the world spinning until he flicked his wrist and flipped me upright, suspending me level with his terrifying gaze. "Time to d-i-i-i-e," he sang, the sound distorted and cruel. He raised his hand. But just as he was about to strike, a piece of wood, a thick stick from the debris, came flying through the air and thwack, it hit him square in the side of the head. Noxius’s head snapped to the side. He slowly turned his gaze back to me, looking at me as if I had somehow developed telekinesis. "I didn't do that!" I squeaked. Then, a stone whistled through the air, catching him hard in the shoulder. The force made him stumble a step to the side, his

  • The new worlder   Friends?

    "Nope, that’s true," I said, my voice shaking so hard my teeth practically rattled. I tried to steady myself, giving a weak, shaky shrug. "But you’re here. Maybe... maybe I'm just here to save you?" His head tilted sharply to the side, that same unnatural, bird-like snap he’d made the first time we met. "Save... me?" he asked, sounding genuinely perplexed. "Honestly, I have no idea what I’m doing here," I admitted, the truth spilling out because I was too terrified to lie. "I can't fight you. You’re... you're overpowered. Totally overqualified for this." He seemed to relax a fraction, his chest puffing out slightly at the unintended compliment. "Thank you..." he said, sounding a bit uncertain, as if he didn't get complimented often during massacres. "Why are you doing this, if I may ask?"He stood in silence for a long moment, the wind whistling through the broken glass around us. "To kill you," he said finally, as i

  • The new worlder   Noxius

    Everyone was gathered in the street. In the center of the crowd stood the Queen, positioned next to a magnificent Bloom-Bird. The Queen was draped in a new gown that commanded the morning light. It was a masterpiece of deep pink that seemed to shift to a bruised purple whenever she moved. The bodice was embroidered with golden thorns that climbed up to a high, stiff collar made of translucent lace, making her look both regal and dangerous.Ruben stepped forward first, giving me a rib-crushing hug before turning and walking back inside without a word. As Felix stepped in to embrace me, his lips brushed my ear. "You chose him," he whispered, his voice tinged with a sadness he couldn't quite hide."No, it's not... I haven't chosen... I just..." I stammered. "It’s okay," he said, pulling back and giving me a small, bittersweet smile. "We’ll talk when you get back." Jinkyu gave me a firm pat on the back. "Good luck, Connie."The Queen tapped h
