I drank some wine from Enzo's glass without asking.
When I felt the liquid touch my lips, I instantly regretted it. It tasted awful, like someone poured gasoline into his glass. But I had already swallowed, so there was no getting it back. I spat out what was left in my mouth onto the table, not realizing that everyone was staring at me. My name is Elijah Andrews.
"What is wrong with you?" Enzo asked, his voice low and threatening. "I'm so sorry! I thought it was water." I said. I could feel myself starting to get woozy from the little bit of wine that I had drank.
The room was starting to spin and everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. I don't know why this is happening but this is getting intense and weird.
My vision began to blur and I could barely hear what my friends were saying. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a red figure forming.
At first, I thought it was just my imagination playing a trick on me due to the fact that I was drunk.
But once I looked directly at the figure, I realized that it was a giant wine monster. It had long tentacles that moved rapidly on the floor.
It's body looked like a giant red sphere, and its eyes were two black circles staring at me menacingly. It had a color that replicated the color of the glass of red wine from before.
I stumbled backward, my eyes wide with terror.
The tentacles were moving rapidly in my direction and I knew that I had to get out of there.
"Run!"
Enzo yelled, his voice barely audible over the screams and cries of the other people at the party.
I didn't have to be told twice. I turned around and ran as fast as I could, but I could hear the monster behind me.
It was eating people that were in the party and they were screaming as they were being dragged into its mouth. Some of them also got chewed up.
I didn't dare look back, fearing what I would see.
My heart was pounding in my chest and I could barely breathe.
I had never been so scared in my life.
I could hear the monster eating people and it was making me sick to my stomach.
I stumbled and fell to the ground, scraping my knee on the hard floor.
I cried out in pain, but quickly got back to my feet and continued running. I could hear Enzo yelling for me to hurry up, but I was going as fast as I could.
The monster was getting closer and closer and I knew that if it caught up to me, I would be dead. I could hear its loud roar echoing through the house and it was making me even more scared than before.
I let out a sigh of relief and bent over to catch my breath.
Enzo stood next to me, his chest heaving up and down as he tried to catch his breath too.
"What are we going to do?"
I asked, looking over at him. He shook his head, his eyes wide with panic.
"I don't know," he replied, looking around us frantically.
"We need to get far away from here." But as we turned to leave, the ground trembled beneath us, and a low growl echoed from the shadows.
"Oh shit," Enzo breathed, his eyes wide with terror.
"It's coming.." We sprinted down the street, our feet pounding the ground as we desperately tried to get away from the monster.
I could feel my adrenaline pumping through my veins and I knew that it was what was keeping me going.
My knee was throbbing in pain, but I ignored it and kept running. We were a few blocks away from the subway station and I knew that if we could just make it there, we would be able to get out of town.
The ground shook violently beneath us and we stumbled, almost falling to the ground.
I glanced back over my shoulder and saw the monster emerging from the shadows. It was still in its egg form, but its tentacles were moving rapidly as it chased after us.
I could hear its loud roar echoing through the air and it sent chills down my spine.
We reached the subway station a few minutes later and sprinted inside.
I yanked open the door to the stairs and we rushed down, not stopping until we were on the platform.
I looked around frantically for any sign of the train, but there was none in sight. I stood on the edge of the platform, my chest heaving up and down as I desperately tried to catch my breath. I could hear the ground vibrating beneath us as the monster drew closer. I looked over at Enzo, who was staring back at me with wide eyes.
We were trapped and we knew it.
Suddenly, a subway worker appeared on the platform, waving us toward a train that was sitting in the station. The doors were open and I knew that if we could just make it there, we would be able to get out of town.
We sprinted toward the train, our feet pounding the platform as we desperately tried to reach it before the monster appeared.
I could feel my adrenaline pumping through my veins and I knew that it was what was keeping me going.
My knee was throbbing in pain, but I ignored it and kept running.
We reached the train a few seconds later and leaped inside just as the doors closed.
I let out a sigh of relief as I realized that we had made it.
But as I turned around and looked out the window, I saw something that made my blood run cold.
The monster had emerged from the subway station and was standing on the platform, its eyes fixed on me.
The train started to move and I watched as the monster grew smaller and smaller until it was just a tiny speck in the distance.
I sat back in my seat, my heart still pounding in my chest.
Enzo sat next to me, gripping my arm tightly.
His eyes were wide with lingering fear and his knuckles were white.
I looked over at him and he met my gaze.
We sat in silence for a few minutes, catching our breath.
The lights of the train flickered, casting eerie shadows on the walls of the train.
I glanced around, noticing that there were only a few other people on the train and none of them seemed to know what had happened.
I leaned over to Enzo and whispered, "Do you think we're safe?"
He shook his head, his eyes darting nervously around thetrain.
"I don't know," he replied quietly, "but we need to stay alert."
I nodded and looked back out the window, watching as the city sped by outside.
The train entered a tunnel a few minutes later and darkness enveloped us.
I clenched my fists, ready for whatever was coming next.
The seconds ticked by slowly as we waited for the train to emerge from the tunnel.
Finally, the train burst out of the darkness and the lights flickered back to life.
I let out a sigh of relief, but my muscles remained tense.
Enzo and I exchanged a nervous glance before looking away.
The tension in the train was thick and I knew that it was only a matter of time before something else happened.
Suddenly, the conductor's voice crackled over the intercom, making me jump.
"We've reached a secure zone," he announced, his voice echoing through the train.
I let out a shaky breath as relief washed over me.
My muscles relaxed slightly and I leaned back in my seat.
Enzo's grip on my arm loosened and he sat back as well.
We looked around at the other passengers, who were still oblivious to what had happened.
I stood up a few minutes later and walked to the door of the train, peering out the window to make sure that there was no sign of the monster.
"It's clear," I said, turning back to Enzo.
He nodded and stood up, following me to the next train. We continued this process for several trains until we found one that was empty and sat back down.
"Do you think we're safe now?" he asked after a few minutes of silence.
I nodded, trying to calm my racing heart.
"Yes, I think we're safe now, Enzo.." I replied, though doubt lingered in my voice. Enzo glanced around the empty train, his eyes darting nervously back and forth.
We sat in silence for a few minutes, listening to the rhythmic clatter of the train. My knee was throbbing in pain and I winced as I shifted in my seat.
Enzo looked over at me, but I ignored his concerned gaze and remained silent.
He shifted uncomfortably a few minutes later, his eyes still darting back and forth. "I don't like this," he said quietly."
"That thing. Are we ever gonna get away from that thing, Eli?"
"Yes, we are gonna get away from that monster. I´ll make sure of it. I accidentally created it after all.." I said, shaking my head.
"There's something off."
I shook my head again, trying to reassure him.
"There's nothing to worry about," I replied.
"We're safe now."
He nodded, but his eyes continued to dart nervously around the train.
We sat in silence for several more minutes before the train suddenly jolted violently, throwing us off balance.
I grabbed onto the seat in front of me and Enzo grabbed onto my arm as we desperately tried to regain our footing.
We started putting our hands on each other's backs. We hugged as the train kept moving.
We embraced which was probably going to be our last hug.
"What was that?" Enzo asked, panic rising in his voice as he regained his footing and looked at me with wide eyes.
The train lurched again, throwing us off balance once more.
I managed to regain my footing and grabbed onto a pole for support.
My heart raced as I scanned the train, looking for any sign of danger.
Enzo gripped my arm tightly and I met his terrified gaze.
Suddenly, the lights flickered again, casting eerie shadows on the walls of the train. I met Enzo's gaze and started to shake a bit.
I didn't know what was happening, but I knew that it couldn't be good.
I glanced around the train, trying to come up with an escape plan in case something happened.
Enzo's grip on my arm tightened as he met my gaze.
I whispered, "If something happens, get out of here as fast as you can."
He nodded and I turned back to face the front of the train.
The train slowed a few minutes later and then stopped abruptly in a dimly lit station.
I peered out the window, trying to see what was going on, but there was no one on the platform.
I narrowed my eyes and looked into the shadows at the end of the platform
.
I thought I saw movement out of the corner of my eye and I gasped.
"It's not over," I whispered to Enzo.
He met my gaze and I saw the fear in his eyes.
The doors of the train hissed open and I grabbed Enzo's hand, leading him cautiously towards the exit.
I glanced back and forth, looking for any sign of danger.
The station was empty and our footsteps echoed off the walls as we walked towards the exit.
I glanced back and forth, looking for any sign of danger.
The shadows seemed to shift and I felt a chill run down my spine. I glanced back at Enzo, who was watching me nervously.
I shook my head slightly and he met my gaze.
We continued on, walking slowly towards the exit.
My heart pounded in my chest as we stepped onto the platform.
I glanced around, looking for any sign of danger.
Suddenly, a low growl reverberated through the station, sending chills down my spine.
I tightened my grip on Enzo's hand and urged him to move faster.
We sprinted towards the exit, our footsteps echoing off the walls of the station.
Then, me and Enzo saw a steel trap door that was placed on the floor.
I open it and see a ladder. I go down the ladder and Enzo follows me.
We both then see a secret underground party room. There are sleeping bags everywhere on the floor. This place is a large room with some tables and chairs.
Me and Enzo pick a sleeping bag and sleep in one together. We put our faces to the other side because we´re still nervous about those "sexual things".
An alarm clock goes off. It's a woman's alarm clock. Enzo wakes up from this but I don´t. "Lady, can you stop your alarm clock?"
"Oh..I'm sorry. I must´ve put it to pm instead of am. Sorry.."
"It's ok.."
"Do you mind telling me your name? You look new here and I just wanna know."
"It's Enzo. What's your name?" "My name is Grace Matthews Oloon. Nice to meet you.." "Now may we go to sleep.."
"Yes, I'm sorry again.."
"Like I said before it's fine.."
Then they sleep and morning comes.
Me and Elijah both wake up on each other. We both open our eyes with shock.
"Oh, no..I'm so sorry, man!" I say as I shout.
"No, I'm sorry. That was me.." Elijah said.
"Oh, gosh..for the love of Cyrus. Stop repeatedly apologizing to each other like that. It's giving me a headache." "Wait, Grace? You're already up."
"Yeah, I'm going to the kitchen now. Come with me if you want to know how to make my special blueberry brownie recipe."
"Oh yes! That sounds delicious." Enzo said with excitement.
"Keep it down" Grace paused. "Remember that there's also other people here still sleeping." "Oh, yeah.."
Grace and Enzo make the brownies and they actually turn out to be very good in the end. Everyone likes it. They each take one brownie.
Later on, Enzo and Ejijah explore more of this place as they eat their brownies.
"Wow..this place looks so cool!" "I know right? This was the god, Cyrus's palace after all. Or at least one of the palaces."
"What, Grace? You mean it. This is actually a place Cyrus used to live at."
"Yeah, I mean it. He was in here with 4 people actually. Firstly, we have Mateo and Gael Gilbert. Their tapestry is here." As they wander through the halls. Grace points at a tapestry that shows a teen boy wielding a red sword and a giant yellow dog is on the top to symbolize the fact that he fought that man and defeated him. They see the words
"Mateo Gilbert and his husband, Gael Gilbert." "Then we have Ruby Andrews, Carmen Tree, Cyrus Oloon, and Lola Roman."
"Wait, those are my dads in this painting. And that giant dog that turned into stone..It's all coming back to me."
"What.." Grace said surprisingly.
"Oh my god..Yes, they are actually there. I haven't seen them since they had to hide. Where are they now? Do you know, Grace?"
"Well..it's nice that I actually do know. If I didn't, that would be an issue."
"Ok, then show us."
Grace leads the both of them to the right and then to another hallway. They see a table with a small door in the middle of the wall.
"They are behind that door."
"How are we supposed to get in there?" I said, sternly.
"Sorry, no. You can't. That's the only problem. But just wait until they come out."
"When will that be?" Enzo said.
"In a couple of minutes.."
Then, they wait and wait.
The door finally opens. Gael comes out first. He is very tiny though. His husband, Mateo comes out next right after him. "Wow..love. You really had to go first, didn't you?" Mateo said as he kneeled down and caught his breath. "Sorry, hun. You gotta be faster than that.."
Mateo stands up and as he is about to give his husband the toughest bear hug in existence. He sees 3 normal human sized people looking down at them curiously.
"Oh wow..Gael. Looks like we have company."
"Huh?"
Gael turns around and looks up. He is surprised to see his son again. But he wants to know how they even got here.
"How did you guys even get here? What led up to this?!" Gael said in shock.
"Well..dad. A monster came to life and was going to eat us. It ate our friend, Kyle Ross. And we ended up here." "Wow.."
Gael paused for a second.
"You guys kind of went through the same thing Matt, my husband, went through."
"Yeah..kinda." Enzo said.
Gael told his son things he wanted to hear all his life but just couldn't hear about it yet. Until now.
" You're not just adopted."
"Ok…yeah. It's good to know that I wasn't adopted."
"I guess you can say that."
2 years later, everyone is still living in the bunker. It's chilly there and there are a lot of games and people there. Sometimes, Enzo and Elijah would go out to do things but it would always just be in the bunker mostly."
Even if they didn't have to be in the bunker anymore. It was a fun place to be in.
Especially since it was Cyrus's palace.
"Ok, guys. I have a secret I want to tell you." "What?" "I'm the daughter of the god of objects and tapestries, Cyrus." "What! No way."
"Yes way. I am his daughter. Adopted daughter. But still his daughter." Grace said happily.
Her friend, Lucas, was listening to her. He was very surprised by this statement.
"And I'm also dating the two best jerks in the world, Enzo Gilbert and Elijah Andrews."
"Wow! Congrats dude!" Lucas said, clapping his hands.
"Thanks. We're gonna sleep together today. I wonder how that will turn out."
"Ok. Good luck with that."
Later when it was night, Enzo, Elijah, and Grace all are in bed together. They are in a separate room. It's a bedroom with a drawer and a good bed.
"I can't believe I'm dating both of you now. It's unreal..it's amazing!" Grace said.
"I know, right?! This is awesome!" Elijah said as he put his hands over his girlfriend's right arm.
"I like this.." Enzo said as he did the same thing.
—-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"And they all lived happily ever after. The end."
"Wow, uncle Lucas. That was a great story you told me. But what happens after that?" Samuel, the 14 year old said.
"Um.." Lucas pauses.
"Well..Enzo and Grace both have a baby named Samuel Gilbert. That's you. That's the end."
"Oh wow, so that's why I have two dads."
"Yes. That's correct, bud."
"Where did that monster go? Samuel said, confusedly.
"What monster?"
"You know the wine blob monster thing?"
"It's complicated.."
"How is it complicated?
Lucas sighed and put his hand on head.
'Well..basically.."
Lucas paused and put his hands on his legs.
"The monster merged with the giant dog that escaped. Turns out Lucian was turned into stone worn off after some years. He has been hiding for years. He went out of his cage in a dungeon and then sought out to kill Mateo, his brother. He killed many people out of rage. He would devour and trample on them simply because he was angry that Mateo was still alive and he had a whole family. The police couldn't do anything about it because he was so large. Lucian slept in a forest for 2 weeks. Then he ran into the blob monster that was crystallized. He punched the crystallized solid and it released the wine blob monster. The wine monster had different intentions though. This monster was much larger than Lucian, the giant dog. The wine monster pushed him away and ran. Lucian fell off the mountain and died. He didn't see that coming. The wine monster went down the mountain and fed off the body of the dog. Lucian fully deserved all of that though. He killed many people. He deserved to die. The wine monster then fled. The government captured him.
And that's the end. Everyone actually lived happily ever after this time." Lucas said, narratively.
"Wow…That's an amazing story. I like how I got part 2 to it."
"Yeah…now can you let me shower?"
"Okay." Samuel replied.
Lucian didn't deserve it. He was filled with jealousy and anger and also a demon, Edgar Edol, telling him what to do.
Lucian was simply always his puppet for this whole play he created. This whole situation and incident he created himself. Edgar is the worst. And he will continue to be the worst.
–The End–
