《The Tattooist》Chapter 7
Advertisement
Later that afternoon, I felt so good.
I finally did it, and I felt so strongly for him, I felt like I needed him And It was suppose to happen..
I couldn't stop thinking about today, and I couldn't wait for tomorrow!
It was pounding down with rain, I hope the weather is better tomorrow.
Sitting on my couch while I waited for Vivian to get back from shopping.
My thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on the door.
Must be Vivian "Haha! Getting alittle soaked out there? Coming!"
I sat up off the couch, and jogged over to the door.
I turned the doorknob, and.. If wasn't Vivian. But a man.
I felt very strange and afraid, I wanted to slam the door and run.
"Uhh.. Can I help you?" I asked in a firm voice, but still felt like a scared mouse.
The man looked up, his eyes were a dark orange, dirty blonde pushed back soaked hair, and a pale look to his face.
"Hello luci.." The man made a slight smile, but it made me uncomfortable.
But his voice.. I knew that voice.
Then it clicked!
"Mark!?" I opened my eyes wider to see if I was seeing clearly.
My heart rate slowed.
The man smiled "yes, long time no see" his voice sounded the same, but very..dark.
"Come in, your drenched" i opened the door slowly.
I couldn't let my only sibling stand out in the cold, but I felt strange about it.
We walked over to the kitchen bench "can I get you anything?" I turned to ask him, my brother grew up to be very handsome.
"No thank you, I just had something" he smirked, and he still has that same smile since we were young.
"So, I haven't seen you in a long time.. What brings you here?" I asked nervously, resting my hands on the bench.

He flicked some stray hairs out of his dark eyes, and looked at me.
He was silent for a minute.
".. I've come to warn you" he said in a Stern voice.
My body felt limp, and unsure of what to say.
"Um.. From what?" I asked with a fake smile.
He looked pained, and his jaw clenched.
"From the man you have been to see.." His eyes stared into my soul.
My chest felt heavy, had he been watching me?
"Johnny?..why?" I stood tall, but left like running away. My brother was not like I use to remember.
Even back in childhood, he was..different. But now..
"He's bad news.. Stay away" his voice echoed like thunder deep inside me.
"He's very nice, and we're not dating or anything, we just had a nice lunch and he fixed up my tattoo"
Why was he saying this?
Then his fist hit the bench, hard.
"Jut say away from that filthy.. Mutt" as he said those last words, it stabbed me like a knife.
And before I could respond, he started walking out to the front door, but stopped and turned.
"It was nice seeing you again" his dark voice echoed the room.
And in a flash, he was out the door and gone.
The house felt safe again as soon as he left.
"What the.." I said to myself, why in those years I haven't seen him, he arrives and that's all he had to tell me?
Why on earth would he care?
Why would he warn me of Johnny..
Another knock on the door echoed through my ears. I didn't want to answer.
"Oi! Open up, I left the keys inside!" Vivian's voice echoed through the door.
I sighed in relief, and walked over to the door.

Opening it and Vivian stormed in with a bunch of food in plastic bags.
She flopped them on the kitchen bench.
She paused and looked Over at me.
"Are you okay? Looks like you've seen a ghost" she began unpacking the food.
"I did, mark.." I murmured softly.
She almost dropped the can of soup she brought.
"What? Really!" She stopped what she was doing and looked at me with full attention.
"Yeah.. He just rocked up, and for some reason warned me about Johnny and took off again.."
I took a seat on the dining room table.
Vivian frowned "I wouldn't listen to him, after all these years that's all he had to say? And our floor is wet.." She groaned.
"I know.. But I thought of it strange, why would be say that?" I raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Pfff.. Don't listen to him, he's proberly jelouse that your hanging out with a nice guy" she started stacking the cans in the cupboard.
"Yeah but.. He didn't look well" I groaned, thinking of what just happened, started off a good day, to a shit evening.
"What do you mean?" Vivian asked in a deep tone.
"He's pretty pale, and his voice doesn't sound right" I spoke, taking off my shoes finally.
Vivian giggled "proberly just needs a tan.."
"Mmm..yeah, i guess. Ah! Don't worry, let me give you a hand"
I got up and started unpacking the meat from the bags and storing it in the freezer.

The Everlasting. (Completed)
An Everlasting. A title given to those who have reached a state closest to godhood. Be it through might and power or through love and compassion. These beings hold great influence over the realms. This story is about Asura, a young orphaned child, who was taught the way of the blade and has mastered the Warrior Arts at a very young age. Given a recommendation by his master, Asura ventures out to broaden his horizons and to learn magic. Follow Asura’s journey and his quest to reach Everlastinghood. Comment by the author: Looking at the chapter list, you might have noticed Volume 1 is not there. The reason is that it’s in the process of being published so I’m somewhat restricted in where and how I can post it. Edit. 18/04/2017 The first volume is now officially on sale. It is no longer possible to get the first volume for free. I am sorry but it was free for a long time and it was time for it. However if you like to support me you can find th first volume here on Amazon (getBook.at/TheEverlasting) Compared to other stories on Royal Road this one is faster paced. No artificial extensions of the story by spending forever in generic constructs, like random ranking tournaments, that don’t really matter for the overall plot. That’s the plan anyway. Volumes consist roughly of 30-35k words. Additionally: I am not a native speaker, nor have I had any formal education in the English language. I am trying very hard to improve myself. If you want to help me by proofreading my story, shoot me a PM and we’ll see if we can arrange something. Other than my thanks and fake internet points I can’t offer anything, though. Yeah, poor student here… Edit 22/06/2017 Hey the story is officially ended if i ever decide to continue it will be on another date. The ending is open for anyone to use their imagination. Thank you all for the support. I hope we could meet later in the Everlasting II. Respectfully Biako
