《Unveiling the Arcane》Maddox
Advertisement
It seemed when the twins made the deal that we had to watch all the movies and not just the original ones they had forgotten to tell Sage she had to stay awake for them. A quarter of the way through The Amazing Spider-Man Sage fell asleep.
I was staring down at where she had turned. When we had watched the other movies, she had been leaning back against me on a pillow. Now her chest was pressed against mine and her arm had threaded around the back of my left shoulder. The pillow had been pushed down separating her groin from mine. It was probably a good thing with the way she moved while she slept. I would feel like a creep rubbing up against her while she wasn't conscious.
Warmth radiated from her cheek and pressed against my right shoulder. Something about the way her face was relaxed made her look so innocent. The soft rumbling in my chest started again. Sage rubbed her cheek on my shirt before moving her head to the center of my chest where the rumbling was more prominent. A small sigh escaped her lips when she settled back down.
"Dude, are you purring?" Caden looked at me past his brother and Dante.
Usually, I would have shrugged but I was worried about disturbing Sage so I loosely wrapped my arms around her to be able to sign. "So what?"
"You're making noise." Aiden points out.
I nod. "I can growl and roar when I'm shifted. I think this is me using my beast's abilities." I say what I assume is happening.
Dante and the twins all furrow their brows in a way that shows they have been living together for years. Dante finally nods, "That makes sense."
Sage murmured in her sleep before settling back down. We all watched her as her lashes feathered out over her cheeks and heavy breaths passed her lips. I had felt like trash the whole day, but at this moment I felt content. I was sure I was coming down with something but having her in my arms made me feel better.

Nobody said anything after that. Sometime during the next movie, I fell asleep too to the soothing pattern of Sage's breathing.
I woke when something pressed up against my side. Slowly my eyes opened to reveal the twins' dark room. The sound of deep breathing came from around me. Sage was still laying on top of me fast asleep. Though the heaviness around her waist had increased from the arm that was thrown around her. An arm that wasn't mine. At some point, Dante had rolled over and put his arm around Sage's waist. A flash from the left made me feel temporarily blinded. A soft snicker let me know it was Caden who had snapped the picture.
Dante moved and I began to hope it was a roll of quarters in his pocket because I wouldn't be able to look at him the same if it wasn't. Trying to distract myself I ran my fingers over Sage's backstopping when my fingers found something soft and velvety. Lifting my hand, I found one soft black feather. Caden walked over towards where I was laying and studied the feather as well. A light iridescence shone when the feather turned. "A feather? Maybe she's a phoenix?" Caden whispered.
I studied it before shaking my head and allowing him to pluck it from my fingers. "It's not red. Besides phoenixes aren't from hell."
Caden was looking closely at the feather, "Fallen angel?" He asked.
I frowned deeply studying Sage for a moment before shaking my head in denial. "No way. She would remember her past and if she had a fallen angel parent there would be no keeping that secret. Their abilities show in adolescence." I signed with him.
"I've got a few rare volumes on Demonic Arcane Species. I'll look through them to see what I can find." Caden spoke, tucking the feather into his shirt pocket.

I was surprised at this. Caden wasn't a big sharer even when it came to the knowledge he had stolen. I was surprised he was willing to use it to help Sage. I guess she affected him as much as she affected me. I looked at the way Dante had curled against us in his sleep and wondered if she affected all of them that way. A thought suddenly came to me. It was crazy and kind of taboo but there was one way we could all get what we wanted. I looked down at Sage wondering if she was better at sharing than Caden and hoping that she was.

The Empty Valley Cries Unheard
The stories can be read at any order. Phew, this story was finally finished at last! What could I say, it was a hell of a ride when I wrote it from the beginning to end. Thanks for having me on RR :D All the current chapter had already done a run on Grammarly, so hopefully it'd be more readable. ...kinda feeling lazy so calling off the edits for now. A couple of old / new attempts of combining Horror, Comedy and Absurdist elements. I'm not very good at writing Horror stories but I'd like to try once in a while. Although the first chapter may be completely screwed up, believe me--I mostly write fluffy gay scenes between two girls. It would PROBABLY become a lot lighter as we moved up the chapter count. Not for the faint of heart, but if you're like me who like some absurd or nonsensical stories, this might be right up your alley. Sorry in advance if some of the chapters seem normal lol additional tags : nonsense / absurd / parody

Until You Do It Right
The world ended on December thirty-first of the year two thousand and twenty, precisely at the stroke of midnight. The human race began to be systematically exterminated by the spawn of the System. We were given a chance to defeat them, to take back our place at the top of the food chain. We failed. The first to perish were those who bravely rebelled. The soldiers. The defenders. One by one, they fell. In their final moments, they begged for aid. Nobody replied. The next to succumb were those who feebly cowered. The deniers. The leeches. Together, they fell. In their final moments, they cried out into the darkness. Countless voices replied in kind. The last to decline were those who shamelessly ran. The deserters. The cowardly. Alone, they fell. In their final moments, they whimpered quietly. There was nobody left to answer. The final human to die was a survivor. A runner. As he died, he begged for salvation. His prayers were answered. He was offered a chance to save himself, along with all of humanity, and he took it. This is his story. “I sat in the dark and thought: There’s no big apocalypse. Just an endless procession of little ones.”― Neil Gaiman, Signal to Noise. I am absolutely new to writing and will take any and all constructive criticism. Please give feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I will update the tags as they change, and I hope that you enjoy this little story I'm writing! Quick warning: Seamus is intentionally a flawed character, and this story is going to explore those flaws and perhaps even change a few of them. I do not agree with all of his actions, but it is what it is.
