《DreamNotFound One Shots》who are you pt. 2
Advertisement
I opened my eyes, trying to focus on my surroundings. I saw the man with the crown, Techno was his name I believe, he was with the two figures with the cloaks. George was in the chair beside me, then I had noticed I was tied up as well. I think there was a man with a bucket hat, but I didn't see him.
"He's up," said a woman's voice, it sounded so familiar, I'm just not sure from where.
Techno turned around to look at me, "Aww he's finally up! I hope you enjoy this."
He walked behind me to turn my chair so that I was facing George. Next he went over towards George, knife in hand. Then next thing I knew, I saw blood pouring from George's cheek. He was screaming in pain, unable to say a word thanks to the gag in his mouth. The two people in the cloaks we're laughing in the far corner of the room.
"Stop! STOP! PLEASE! I'LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, JUST DON'T KEEP HURTING HIM!" I screamed. Techno stopped moving and turned around slowly to face me.
"Whatever I want?"
"Whatever you want, just please stop hurting George."
"I want you to watch me kill him in front of your eyes, like how you did with my brother."
I sighed, "Dave, he asked me to."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT, AND YOU STILL DID IT. I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING TO SAVE HIM. I WAS HELPLESS, I WANT YOU TO FEEL THE SAME PAIN AS ME!" he screamed.
"Techno," said a voice, the man with the bucket hat was standing in the doorway. "We both know this isn't the right thing to do."
"THEN WHAT IS THE RIGHT THING PHIL, WHAT IS IT, TELL ME!"

"I-I don't know, but it's not this.."
Techno looked over at the two people in the corner, "Girls?"
"What?" said one of them, a bit of attitude in their voice.
"Ugh, nevermind."
"Techno, Can I talk with you outside?" Phil asked him.
"Sure. Z, clean George up."
The two men left the room and the one in purple walked over to George with a cotton wad, a cloth and some medical tape. She dabbed George's cheek gently with the cloth, also wiping away all the blood. Then she taped the cotton wad onto his cheek, and started walking over to the other one.
"Who are you?" I asked. "I recognized your voice, both of your voices."
They turned their right slightly, able to see me from the corner of her glowing eye. "Why does it matter?"
"I recognize your voice-"
"Yes you said that already, probably from yesterday." they said cutting me off, then turning to face me. Their friend in red appeared behind her.
"I know you guys from somewhere, I want to help you leave."
"If we wanted to leave, we would have done that by now." said the one in red.
I sighed, "Is he keeping you here, like George and I?"
The red cloaked one lunged at me, pulling out a knife and pressing it at my throat. "Why so many questions?"
"I just want to help you." I said, pulling my neck as far away as I could from the knife.
"We don't need your help," she said harshly, pressing the knife further against my throat."
"Acarsia, don't do it." said the purple one.
"Why not?" she questioned. "Crypto, he killed Techno's brother, and asks WAYY to many questions."

"He's not worth it," she walked up to her friend an pulled her away from me. (LMFAO SEE WHAT I DID THERE????)
"S-So you do h-have names," I said shakily between breaths.
"Yeah, we do. Call us by them, and I won't stop her from slitting your throat."
"Okay, chill." I said, taken aback slightly. "You guys know Will isn't actually dead?"
"Yes we're aware," said Acarsia.
"Then why won't you tell him, instead of letting him kill me?"
"He told us only to tell him if things we're getting out of hand, besides, there's only one person who can contact him right now."
"AND THINGS AREN'T OUT OF HAND? HE SLICED GEORGE'S CHEEK, YOU TRIED TO KILL ME, AND WHO CAN CONTACT HIM?"
"No, things are fine, and I barely touched you. As for who can contact him, that's none of your concern."
"You put a knife against my neck."
"That sounds a little like trying to kill him don't you think?" said George, he had managed to get the gag out of his mouth. "And the purple one knows where he is."
Crypto jerked her head to look over at George. "If you say anything else, I will kill you."
"You can talk to him?" I screamed. "Call him, tell him to come here, I don't want to be killed, neither does George. I'm being kidnapped and tortured for nothing, Will isn't dead!"
"He does have a point Crypto," said the red cloak.
"Yeah I know, I just want Phil to know."
If is it was on cue, Phil and Techno walked back in. "I tried, he really has his heart set on killing them."
"I'm calling him, they probably shouldn't die for something that never happened."
Phil nodded and she left the room.
"WHO IS SHE CALLING. THE POLICE?" yelled Techno in Phil's face. "I WILL KILL WHOEVER IT IS!"
"I don't think you'd want to do that." said Acarsia.
He turned over to her, "Why not?"
"Because-"
"He's on his way, should be here 10 minutes or so."
"WHO. IS. COMING. CHILD." he said angrily.
"I can't share that." Crypto looked over at Phil. "I don't know why, but he's also bringing the children."
He sighed, "Why."
"I don't know, I tried to tell him it was a bad idea, but he wouldn't listen."
As they were talking I whispered with George, "Look, if we don't make it out of here alive, there's something you should know?"
"Yeah what's up Dream?"
"I-I love you, I always have.. I just thought you should know."
"What?" the colour that remained in his face, just vanished, he was as pale as a ghost.
"I love you George."
He slouched back in disbelief, at a loss for words. Then the door swung open,
"Techno.."

Now he’s fourteen, and that day has come.

Kayden quickly finds himself embroiled in a large political game he doesn’t understand. But he’d better learn fast. Because the secrets of his new school run deeper than he ever expected, and his actions have far more dangerous consequences than he could ever have known. ----------------------- Want to read ahead?

The Tears of Kas̆dael
It was just supposed to be a game. A really, really great game, yes - but a game. Instead, Jasper got his heart ripped out by a brooding goddess and awoke to find himself in another world. No weapons, no skills. Naked. Trapped in a world full of ancient horrors, where gods and monsters still roam the earth, Jasper is forced to adapt quickly or die - and he's not ready to die. Good thing he's a mage. This is a high-fantasy novel with light LitRPG elements. It's not super-crunchy, but the system is an important part of the story. There is some light cursing and gore, but this is not a Grimdark novel. There will also be no harem. The current schedule is chapters on M-W-F of around 2000-2500 words, as well as occasional bonus chapters that provide background or insights into side characters. This is my first real attempt at writing a full novel, but the story is based on a world that I've been creating and re-creating since I was a child. I have an extensive "history" and religion, and even a semi-cohesive language system worked out, which will hopefully slowly shine through as the story progresses. I want to avoid having too many info-dumps, so I may from time to time post a bonus lore chapter that will explain some of the background for any who are interested.
