《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.

Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
