《Crazy》9: Enemy

I followed him out of the kitchen. My face neutral. Just as I thought he would open the door he turned to me and I flinched. Visibly flinched. He furrowed his brows at me.
"Smile, you're on camera." His smile was almost sadistic-like. I shivered in disgust.
Nonetheless, I smiled.
He turned away from me and opened the door. When he stepped back he placed a firm hold on my waist. It was the kind that looked to be light but actually hurt because of how hard he squeezed.
I wasn't expecting this so my smile faltered a bit and my heart sped up. Why is he touching me, I thought to myself.
The man on the other side of the door looked like bad news. I really hoped that whole saying, don't judge a book by it's cover, was true right now. Or else, I was in trouble.
He walked in, his eyes kept coming back to me. He'd look at my captor then a second later his eyes would return to me. Almost like he was trying to figure me out.
Since my captor was too busy speaking to him I was able to mouth out a few words to him.
"Help me," I mouthed out.
His eyebrows scrunched up before a smirk appeared on his face. I knew this would catch my captor's attention so I quickly went back to smiling.
Just like I had thought, my captor turned to me. His hold on me lightened up as he almost dropped his arm from my waist.
"Well, you've got yourself a girl now haven't you, Belle." The man spoke to my captor. His smirk unwavering. I felt like there was a different meaning behind his words but I stayed quiet.
My captor only tensed before trying to seem comfortable.

"Yes, and I would appreciate it if you kept your eyes off her." His jaw was tense. This whole conversation felt like it had a double meaning. Or maybe they didn't like each other and were fake friends.
"Come in," he made me move closer to him while he let in his friend.
"Haven't seen you in a while, Belle." His friend talked to him and I tried to pay close attention to every word they spoke to each other.
"C'mon man, we've known each other long enough for you to call me by my first name now." I wasn't sure if my captor was dumb or if this was his way of telling me I was going to die before I could ever tell anyone his full name.
"Alright, Drew. What's for lunch?" I don't know if only I felt it but I sensed tension between the two. Were they even actual friends or...
Just then I realized what he said, Drew.
His name is Drew Belle.
Drew Belle. Drew Belle. Drew. Belle.
I repeated in my head in order to hopefully not forget his name.
"Lasagne and salad." I wanted to raise my eyebrows but instead I tried to show no emotion.
However his friend did raise his eyebrows.
"Her favorite." He nodded towards me with his head. I almost snorted out loud, sure it is, along with getting kidnapped by random strangers.
Then something I didn't think would happen, happened.
"You know you're not supposed to fall for'em." Drew's friend said. I furrowed my eyebrows, what was he talking about.
"I knew you'd give in one day and snatch one up." My jaw almost dropped. Was he talking about...
Drew's jaw locked and he almost spat out his next words.

"I'm not like you."
"Oh but you are. And she's proof of it." His friend pointed towards me. A mocking smile on his face.
"I'm not a sadist like you. She's not here for that. Nor will she be." I had a feeling I knew what was going on but I didn't want to know.
"You can't hold it in forever. Lets rain check shall we." Then his friend left just like that.

Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.

NEVER SPLIT THE PARTY: The Adventures of The Creeping Bam (BOOK ONE: The Job)
TAO is a broken world held together with nothing but magic and the will of the gods who protect it and its people. Then thousand years ago THE SUNDERING struck and Tao was almost torn apart by a terrible magical cataclysm which resulted in the planet almost being halted in its journey through the cosmos. It took all the power the gods of Tao could muster to restore its orbit and set it turning again, but in their efforts it was forever changed – its axis was drastically altered, and it now spins in such a way that one face of the world is forever turned from the sun it orbits, leaving half the planet in perpetual darkness. The various humanoid races that survived and now thrive within the habitable parts of THE DAY LANDS have come to live in perpetual fear of what lives beyond THE BORDERLANDS that separate them from whatever dwells within THE NIGHT LANDS, but for ten millennia it has kept its secrets. The land of RUNDAO languishes under the rule of their warlike Northern neighbours, the TEKTEHRAN EMPIRE, while a small, ragtag band of motley adventurers ply their mercenary trade fighting monsters and protecting the common man from the various dangers that haunt the night and prowl the hinterlands on the edges of civilization. THE CREEPING BAM have amassed a modest reputation in their years together, but they’re still just a small-time party of sellswords, thieves, outcasts and mages. They’re also exactly the kind of underdogs the people of Tao doesn’t yet realise are needed to save the world from the encroaching darkness they doesn’t even know is coming … This is a love letter and homage to the high-fantasy worlds of the tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons, Pathfinder and Warhammer and the sword & sorcery cinema and literature I fell in love with as a kid growing up in the 80s, from Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian (and the awesome Schwarzenegger movie, STILL my favourite fantasy film EVER), The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit and Ron Howard and George Lucas’ Willow, to the more grown-up and edgy worlds of grimdark masters George RR Martin and (my all-time favourite) Joe Abercrombie, as well as a BIG DOLLOP of Terry Pratchett’s immortal Discworld series. IMPORTANT: This story contains material which some readers may consider to be mature, such as battle violence, some strong language and occasional mild sexual scenes. If this is not your kind of thing, this story is not for you. I am also serializing this story on Tumblr, Wattpad, Quotev and Sweek.
