Destiny

6/2/22--6/5/22

Trigger Warning: Gun/Suicide

I can still remember that day. My father on his deathbed trying to explain his last wishes. He asked me to kick everyone else out of the room so we could be alone. He said it was his destiny to save the world, from what he didn't know truly but he knew he hadn’t done it yet and that he was running out of time. He passed it on to me, but he didn’t explain that I'd be paying with my life in the end of it all.

Now I'm standing here, many battles later. Some of the battles were simple..just normal people, but dangerous ones. Others were battles with myself. Now it's a battle with a completely unknown source. All I know is it’s ripping me apart from the inside out. All from that one dog bite. Luckily it never spread as far as i can tell. It’s just me infected. I should have known not to go near a dog I buried 6 years ago in my own backyard…but I did what I had to do and she was buried all over again.

Is this what dad meant? That I was going to have to board myself into my own home and make a decision to sacrifice myself?

I turn on the radio, just to check one last time. No reports of any other infections.

I look down at the gun.

“I hope I did it, Dad. I hope I made you proud.”

A shot rings out throughout the neighborhood.

Hoard of Adventurers

6/2/22

I run as fast as I can, the wings flapping high above me. I don’t dare to look back cause I know if i do i’ll be dragged back by the beast to their cave. So many adventurers have been lost to this beast in particular. I won’t let it have me too. I refuse to do its bidding. I saw a few of the adventurers there in the cave. Much to my surprise they’ve been alive all this time. They told me to run though. They didn’t want saving. I asked all I could but the only thing I received was screams of fear as the beast returned before I could get away. I ran when it’s back was turned and now my only goal is to tell the kingdom what I discovered. A dragon who hoards skilled adventurers and knights? Unheard of until now. I may be the last to tell anyone if I'm not caught. Apparently the beast doesn’t need too many more and I may just be skilled enough to become the last. In a way I'm flattered, in another way I'm terrified. Am I doing the wrong thing saving myself and leaving the others? Maybe. I can’t think about that now though. I have to keep running. It’s gaining on me. I can see the shadow of the beast almost above me. The others faces slide through my mind as my legs begin to fail. My heartbeat is quickening to an unhealthy speed and my eyes are getting blurry. I can’t keep going but I have to. Please…I have to. I trip and scatter back to my feet but don't make it much farther before collapsing again so I roll onto my back. As things start going dark the gray, scaled, giant creature crawls up to me and begins to wrap its claws around my torso.

Three Wishes

12/10/21--12/11/21

“Hey sweetie, what did you wish for?” her mom says while making lunch for her three kids.

“Oh haha…I can't tell you. Is this a trick?”

“You’ve always been too smart for me Sarah”

“I know mom. I’m off to school, Chad is walking with me like usual”

Her mom smiles.

“You two have a good day. Remember to sit with your brothers after school and i’ll pick you up asap”

Sarah grabs her breakfast sandwich and nods while closing the door. She looks in her notebook where she wrote down specifically what she wished for.

Perfect Boyfriend

Good Skin

New Shoes

She sighs. The new shoes appeared but she’s not sure about the good skin or perfect boyfriend.

“Maybe I'll meet him at school or something. As if anyone at my school could ever be perfect for me” she says to herself. Suddenly she remembers the crystal around her neck and stuffs it down into her shirt. Chad runs up to her then starts walking with her.

“Hey Sarah” he smiles. She smiles back. She’s had a crush on him for so long but that’s why she wished for the perfect boyfriend, she thought maybe somehow he’d be her perfect boyfriend. The rules said she couldn't wish for him to fall in love so that was off the table.

Suddenly they both stop walking. A tall slender black haired boy stands in front of them and looks around lost and confused.

“Hey, you okay?” Chad asks. Sarah stays quiet.

“HI…who are you? Do you know Sarah?”

Chad looks over at Sarah.

“Hi…this is Chad, my neighbor…I’m Sarah if you were looking for me for some reason”

“I’m Marcus. You made a wish for-”

“A wish for an old friend to come back, yeah!”

Marcus smiles despite not understanding.

“Chad, sorry, i didn’t recognize him he’s from my old school and i did my wishes this morning and i didn’t realize they’d work so quickly”

“That’s okay man i’ll let you catch up” he half smiles and walks to school by himself while she stands with Marcus.

“Hey Marcus..um..i know why you’re here and what wish i made but can we just like…gradually go into being boyfriend and girlfriend? You know..pretend for a bit”

“I..yeah i guess so…i was created to be your perfect boyfriend”

“Created?”

“Yeah! The perfect boyfriend doesnt exist so i was created specifically for your wish”

“So you…don't exist really?”

“Nope, I'm just sort of here. If you keep me long enough i’ll become human though”

“Interesting…”

They walk to school together and talk about made up memories just to keep things believable.

After school Chad meets up with Sarah as usual but this time Marcus is clung to her side.

“Hey, did you two have a good day? I hardly saw you”

“Yeah it was good. Sorry about that i was showing Marcus around and stuff”

“Yeah I get it. You have to go sit with your brothers right?”

“Yeah mom’s working a while so i have to go keep them company and wait for her to pick us up. Marcus, do you have a ride home?”

He shakes his head. Chad offers to walk with him.

“I would walk with you but i don't know where i'm going”

“Oh do you not know where your house is yet?”

Marcus hesitates.

“Yeah that’s it i just don't know the town”

“All good man. Sarah, do you think your mom could drive him home? My parents aren’t home otherwise i’d just take him to my house”

“Yeah he can sit with us, that’s okay.”

After a few months of Marcus simply just living with Sarah and her family as if he’s always been her friend they do begin to date and tell people. It seems the wish changed more things than just a random perfect boyfriend. Her family acts like they always knew him meanwhile Sarah has to sit there with the truth. However she finds out that the longer she keeps him around the more human he becomes. Sarah feels bad though having not seen Chad for a while. His parents said he’s been sick.

“Marcus I'm gonna go see if Chad is up to talk yet, okay?”

“Okay hurry back” he smiles. She smiles back and goes next door.

Chad opens the door to her surprise.

“Oh hi. Are you doing better?”

“Oh…um..yeah sure”

Sarah looks at him with concern.

“You don’t seem fine you can talk to me you know”

“Sarah, I'm really fine. I don't want to upset you”

“You won't upset me, just talk to me. We’re best friends”

“Sarah..”

“Chad please i can’t stand that we haven't talked in weeks”

“Sarah im in love with you”

She stops, mouth hanging open, heart racing.

“What?”

Chad sighs.

“You heard me”

“No Chad i didn’t tell me again”

“I said im in love with you”

“Chad I..”

“Don't bother saying anything i know you’re with Marcus and we cant be together and we’re graduating soon so i just…i know it was a waste but at least you know”

Marcus walks up behind Sarah and puts his hand around her waist.

“Oh, Marcus..uh…hey man” Chad says, avoiding eye contact.

“Hey man…feeling better i see”

“Ah yeah..just had a stomach bug or something”

“Right. Sarah, your mom needs you for something. Something about your brothers”

“Oh alright thanks for telling me” She runs back to the house and goes inside. Marcus turns to Chad, losing his smile.

“Hey”

“What’s up dude?”

Marcus glares at him.

“You shouldn’t have shared your feelings”

“Oh you heard that…i mean…i'm sorry man i wasn't trying to like step on your toes but she needed to know”

“Right…”

He walks back to the house slowly and goes inside. Chad is left standing there feeling threatened.

Marcus picks up Sarah's phone and goes to her texts.

Meet me at the park tonight?

Chad: Are you sure that’s smart? Marcus gave me some weird vibes

Lol. It’s fine i promise

Chad: Ok see you tonight but i’ll have to sneak out

Marcus smiles to himself.

“What's up with you, huh?”

“Oh nothing..just thinking about how much i love you”

“You’re so sweet it makes me sick” She kisses his lips gently. He thinks about how much pain he’s going to put her through but it’s worth it.

The next day Sarah wakes up to her mother and Chad’s mother crying in the kitchen.

“Mom?”

“Oh Sarah…you don’t have to go to school today, go on back to bed and we can talk later..”

“Why are you crying and why is Chad’s mom here?”

“Sweetie i don’t know how to have this conversation with you but come sit with us”

She sits down calmly but feels scared about whatever conversation she’s about to have. “Chad snuck out last night and he never came home…they found him in the park”

“Why was he in the park?”

“We don’t know. The police are looking into it.”

“Well i should go check on him”

Her mom grabs her arm.

“Sweetie…”

“What?”

“I don’t think you heard me…They found his body in the park”

She slips back into her chair and stares at the table then laughs.

“No they didn't, he's fine…”

“Sarah..”

“Mom they didn’t…right?”

“Im so sorry honey”

“No..” She begins to cry and breathe heavily trying to catch her breath and process it all. Marcus walks into the room slowly.

“Did you just say they found Chad’s body in the park?”

Sarah whimpers into her mom’s torso.

“Unfortunately yes Marcus”

“Have they found who did it yet?”

“No they’re still investigating”

The investigation takes a few months. Sarah is investigated for the texts in her phone asking Chad to meet her at the park but she swears she never sent them. Marcus is investigated as well but they let him go. Chad goes without justice as they close the case due to no evidence of a murder much to his family’s disappointment. They chalk it up to an unfortunate animal attack. At home Marcus holds Sarah while she cries.

“Hey Sarah…”

“Yeah?” she sniffles.

“I did it you know” he whispers. She moves out of his arms and stares at him.

“Did what?”

“You know”

She swallows.

“Don’t get up Sarah. Don’t say anything.” He waves the knife out from behind him.

“What..What are you planning?”

“I'm thinking we will move after graduation. I want you all to myself”

“I should have gotten rid of you before you became human…before Chad said he loved me..”

“No use regretting your decisions now, dear”

Two Weddings

12/7/21

Wedding 1

“Carly!” My sister comes running towards me.

“Hi...shouldn’t I be the one running to you in your room?”

“Yeah yeah all that traditional bullshit i dont care i'm just glad you’re here...with a sexy hot date might i add”

Lucifer looks at her and smiles with pure white teeth. I swear I can see them sparkle.

“This is Charlie...I met him at the coffee shop so we’re in luck, right?”

“A hunk like THIS at a coffee shop talking to YOU?”

“Almost unbelievable...what is he? An Alien?”

I roll my eyes and Lucifer mimics it.

“Well it’s great to meet you Charlie...nonetheless i have to go get MARRIED”

She runs away to finish getting ready and I almost wish she trips. Lucifer smirks and then she does.

“Oh my god..”

I go to her and help her up.

“You okay?”

“Yeah I'm fine...that was fucking embarassing though. Get someone to fix this rug for me?”

“Yeah...yeah sure”

I grab Lucifer by the shirt. “Did you do that?”

“Yeah..she seemed like she needed it..plus i heard your thought”

“Well...okay it was hilarious but my thoughts are not part of the deal” I laugh a little but try to be serious. Lucifer laughs too.

“Won’t happen again...but i'm glad we got to laugh together over it”

“Me too i guess” i smile and then we join everyone for the wedding to happen.

After the actual wedding and we’re all just enjoying each other’s company my sister comes over.

“So Charlie”

“Yes, newly wed?”

She laughs. “You are so funny”

I look over at her husband and then back at my sister.

“I think Kevin is looking for you”

“Oh shut up Carly you’re so insecure”

I stare at her silently as Kevin walks over.

“There you are honey. My guys were asking to meet you officially”

“His friends haven't met you?”

She laughs. “No of course not they were always too busy for me but of course he invited them to the wedding anyways”

Kevin looks down but then smiles at her. Lucifer grabs me by the waist and pulls me close.

“Well Carly and I have another wedding to go to and I've told my friends all about her. They’re very excited to meet her.”

My sister stops with her mouth open to say something but she's rendered speechless.

“Another wedding? When? MY SISTER is going to a wedding with a man she just met?”

“It’s in two days so we have a flight to catch tonight. Also we’ve known each other for a while actually, did she not tell you?” He jokes and I laugh.

“Yeah I swore I told you before. You must have been too busy to meet him, huh?”

Lucifer sweeps me away and we keep laughing till we turn a corner.

“That was fun but maybe we shouldn’t be so rude”

“We weren’t being rude really, dear. We just gave her a taste of her own medicine. Is it true she’s only known Kevin a few months?”

“How did you-”

“Thoughts” he smirks. I shake my head but smile.

“Is the wedding really only in two days?”

“Unfortunately, yes. Also i should probably update you on why we’re going”

“Deal. Let me say goodbye to everyone?”

He nods and leaves the building.

After we get back to my place we sit down and I make some tea.

“Ok so what’s the deal with your wedding?”

“Well we likely won’t be there long...i have to break it up”

“Why’s that?”

“I know I'm Lucifer so this may be odd...but it’s a friend..one of my followers people may say. She’s in an abusive situation so if i allow this to go on...she may pass away soon”

“Oh I see…”

“I will have to change my appearance as she only knows me one way but that’s alright”

Wedding 2

We walk in and instantly eyes are on me, making my heart race. Lucifer grabs my hand but keeps his eyes looking for the bride to be. Or I guess really not to be since our goal is to stop the wedding. His eyes land on her and his pace quickens.

“Luc- sorry, Lance. So happy you and Carly could make it”

I smile although having my name known by someone i’ve never met is odd.

“I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Also I have what we talked about. You doing okay?”

“For now, yes. Later i’m not so sure”

“We’ll keep you safe i promise”

“He’s going to kill me, you know that don’t you?”

“Not if i have anything to do about it”

“I’m thankful that you care”

“The devil can still stop the demons among you humans”

She smiles then hears her fiance yell and she flinches visibly.

“SARAH! Where the fuck did you- oh there you are.” He grabs her by the shoulders.

“Thought you left me at the altar you silly girl” the tone of his voice makes me want to hit him with a truck. Lucifer pats me gently on the back as if to tell me to move. We go and sit but he tries to keep Sarah in his sight at all times.

“Any objections to this marriage? Now’s the time to speak up”

Lucifer clears his throat and stands up.

“I object. This man is not a good one. He doesn’t deserve to be standing in front of you all declaring his love to a woman that he beats and talks down to”

Everyone gasps and looks shocked.

“If you don’t believe me, open your eyes. The signs were always there and I have proof.” Lucifer steps to the projector that was playing a slideshow of loving photos and replaces them with pictures of blood and bruises and then finally videos from a camera she hid. I look away but even the sounds hurt.

“As you can see by the dates of these videos it’s been happening for a long time and no one noticed. Now I'd like to open the room for her to speak...if she can do it safely at least.” He steps to where her husband was standing and shields her from his view.

“Go on Sarah. I’ll keep him at bay.”

“Th...Thank..Thanks Lance..um..i don't really know what else i can say except the videos and those pictures are truth. I tried to speak to you all...every single one of you and you wouldn’t give me the time...I’m not safe and I haven't been for a long time. “

Everyone stands up almost at once and tries to comfort her but she screams and runs out of the altar. I go after her and Lucifer joins us not long after, dragging the man out with him to the waiting cop car. He hands them the usb as well.

“Sarah, listen to me, we can enact your plan now. You can run where he won’t get to you.”

“Thank you...seriously...Lucifer”

I gasp but then she laughs a little.

“He didn’t tell you I knew?”

“I guess technically he did but i didn't realize”

“Thank you too Carly. I don’t know if I could have gotten away from all this without you. I need to go home and pack and try to get into my new life. I hope i’ll see you again someday”

Unfortunately she was never seen again. Her abusive ex found her in her new life and took it away from her. The poor thing barely saw it coming.

Happy Valentine’s Day

12/5/2021

Trigger Warnings:

Stalking

Death

She gets the mail and sits gently onto her couch, relaxing after a long day of work. Flipping through the mail she almost just sits it all down to look through later as nothing seems too urgent. That is until she sees an envelope addressed to her in barely familiar writing. She opens it slowly, hands shaking and heart racing.

Happy Valentine’s day my love

She drops the card and stands up quickly, hairs on the back of her neck standing on end. A chill rolls down her entire body and she feels like she might faint.

“Fuck Fuck Fuck” she whispers to herself. She grabs her keys and purse then goes to her door before stopping.

“I need protection..a knife..pepper spray...something” she mumbles to herself. As she walks around her apartment trying to gather whatever protection she has she hears a knock on her door and freezes. She wonders if she locked it and then panics when she realizes she didn't. A couple more knocks echo in her head and she thinks this time she may actually faint. Grabbing onto various furniture she gets her legs to move towards the door.

“Hello? It’s just me, I saw your car downstairs and you dropped your gloves.”

“D-Daniel?” she calls through the door, barely able to speak.

“Yeah, are you okay?”

She shakily opens the door.

“I’m..I’m fine. Thank you for returning these” she says as she grabs the gloves and almost collapses. Daniel keeps an eye on her for a moment then turns to leave before stopping.

“Oh yeah, there was also some guy asking where you lived. Said he was family”

Her heart almost stops and the ringing in her ears becomes so loud she barely hears the footsteps coming closer.

“Ah, here he is. Have fun catching up you two”

She tries to open her mouth and scream or just say something to make sure Daniel comes back but her throat goes dry as the man walks into her apartment and she fearfully closes the door, knowing this could be the last time she sees anything outside of these walls.

Sadly her body is found three days later by Daniel. Cause of death was strangulation. He sits there with the police explaining whatever he remembers about the man he so willingly left her alone with. The man who said he was family and seemed so trusting. Turns out he wasn’t family but an abusive ex. A disgusting human that was controlling and couldn’t let women have their own lives and became obsessed with one in particular. She got away but wasn't so lucky the second time.

The police find the man’s address and are happy to have justice for the innocent woman until they discover another body. This time of their suspect with a note lying next to him. They gently pick it up and discover he admitted to everything but took the easy way out.

THE END
