Crossed Out Words Novels & Stories

TRIGGER WARNING! MATURE CONTENTS AHEAD THAT MAY INCLUDE NON CONSENTUAL ACTS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISKS ‘YOUR SCHOLARSHIP HAS BEEN REVOKED’ Even though those dreadful words were written in black font, all I could see was red. Those were the first words I read of the letter. Tears built up at the brim of my eyes, but I had no energy to let them out. ‘Due to some financial issues our company is facing, we are sad to let you know that you will no Longer be a part of our Fly Wings plan’ the rest of the letter read. The other letters were letters of apology, one having my one-way ticket back to my country.

Many of the words were blotted out, smeared and faded as though someone had tampered with the typewriter. “descended from a line of ancient ones…. strongest in roots…soaked in power…” I skimmed the words, soaking in every last smidge of potential information. “family crest phoenix…fiery nature and rebirth…power of light…light cleanses and removes…brings in new…” ‘That’s it? That can’t be it.’ I hissed within the confines of my mind. ‘How can that be it?’ The rest of the page was nothing but smudges of ink and jumbled words that made no sense from the tampering that must’ve taken place.

She crossed out a word and wrote another. "What's wrong?" Marvin asked. "The transfer," Lina said. "It was a Tuesday." "I'll fix it." Lina flipped a page. She drew a line through a sentence. "Why that?" Sophia asked. "It’s weak," Lina said. "We don't guess. We give them the numbers." "Fair enough." Lina dropped the pen. It hit the cup. "Fix the master," Lina said. Marvin took the pages. He typed. He read the ending twice.

My heart beats faster as I unwrap it. An article about Black Canopy. Mikolaj’s image on the side is crossed with Red and some words scribbled on it. I squint my eyes, trying to decipher. ‘You will regret crossing me. - Reed.’

'Don't say a word. #

I pulled into his house, no need for forced entry, I had a mod, unlocked the door and strode peacefully to his bathroom. I pulled the knife out, wore my apron and pulled the knife on the neck, careful not to splash much blood on myself. I pulled my Journal, it was a little rough but it kept all that was left of my sanity. Dipping a feather into the cutthroat, I wrote, No. 57: unknown, but looks exactly like her. ***

I stood up from my bench and walk towards the man. "Pheweee" the whistle was blown by the teacher to get everyone's attention and to stop murmming from the student. "I was late because, I just finished the last process of my resignation", every student begins to murmur. "phewww.. Silence". The coach blew the whistle again. "I'm moving to another state, you will all be having another coach by next week, till then you are all dismissed. I scoff at the man and mimick his word, 'till then you are all dismissed'.

“That’s the most I have ever heard you say.” “And I greatly regret it,” she sighed, raising her right hand to her forehead with slight force. “Hey, don’t do that.” Slowly, Ceanna lowered her hand and turned to look at him pointedly. Another smile spread across his face as he admitted, “Yes, there I used ‘the voice’. I won’t do it again if you stop slapping your forehead.” Before she could respond, the bell rang and Mrs. Greens dismissed the class with a droll statement. “You are all free to go now. Just in time because I was starting to lose the happy couple in the back.”

There goes my plan. I don't want to go home though. But I don't have more friends. I take a U-turn and take the road which leads me to my house. As I park my car in the driveway, I see Leo watering plants in his lawn. "Hey," he says and I wave towards him. "What's up?" he says and comes near the fence. "My friend canceled on me," I sadly reply. "Oh, I'm free today. Wanna hang out?" "Oh, I'd love to but--"

all I am saying is that what you have is beautiful. If only you can settle the difference and be more transparent about this. I don't see why you should not work out." "Girl, I can't deal with any more drama not when he has successfully gotten himself on mom's black list." "I don't know anymore." "I know." silence filled the room as we both don't know what to say to each other. I begin to stare into space thinking of what am going to do with my life after wasting 3years of my life with some self-centred douchbag.
