"My God, help me survive this deadly love!"
Content warning: The next following chapters will have very detailed descriptions and writings on topics about sex, SA. trauma, ritualistic abuse, and topics which may lie outside the boundaries of what is conventional in our society. This is the first time in this book that I have used a content warning so you know that we'll be exploring some pretty deep shit. These next chapters are designed for my fellow readers to delve deep into their shadow side in order to question all that I bring up and expose. What do I expose exactly? In this story, I aim to expose what our polite society tends to avoid as much as possible.

Silence. What is it about silence that makes us feel so uneasy? The more that you focus on it, the more overwhelming it becomes. Silence is a lack of noise where all is still. It should be peaceful. It is only peaceful for a short while. Wait a little longer. You will be aware. You will be alert. Something is lurking around the corner, you think as you wait in anticipation. Perhaps you attempt to escape from it by speaking, singing or whistling. Perhaps you are fortunate enough to let something play in the background to put you at ease. The next time that silence arrives, be fortunate that your mind can generate enough noise to fill in the blanks. And how our minds love to fill in the blanks! Every experience you've ever had, even the ones you regret will be presented to you as a memory, whether you like it or not!
"Clear the way! Get out of their way immediately!" The announcement blared out loud and clear
I had never heard anything like it!
I had no idea that the rumours were true!
I was walking on the opposite side of the street when this happened and I am glad that they didn't notice me.
I remembered the message that I received via Timothy.
It said, 'We are keeping an eye on you, Might.'
Could the message be from them?
That's impossible! They refer to us Normals by number, don't they? This person called me 'Might' so it can't be them! I was unable to trace them back too.
As I was distracted by my thoughts, I made the mistake of making eye contact with one of them.
The first thing I saw was the piercing gaze of her blue eyes. Her shoulder length blonde hair blew against the breeze underneath the fancy hat she wore. She glared at me before breaking eye contact. It all happened so fast. The man walking next to her linked arms with her. He had straight black hair. There were 3 other young men, one older woman and one older man. It is exactly as I suspected. It was the infamous Cloud family! The Clouds! Why have they come here?
I decided to keep an eye on them but I wasn't actually dumb enough to get too close.
"No, come back! Come back please!" a woman called out to her child in a panic
Her child was running over to the Cloud family.
"Freddy! Don't be so stupid. Stay away!" She spoke, frozen still because she was too afraid to cross paths with them
I hoped that the boy would be ok.
The man who was linking arms with the sharp eyed woman earlier stepped out and put his hand on the boy's shoulder.
Before the man could say anything, the boy spoke first making everyone watch the scene from afar.
"Who are you guys?" Freddy asked, feeling curious
"H-He didn't mean that." The boy's mother said
They ignored her.
"Why do you block our path, 7? We are on our way to a very important event." He asked him
The audacity! Calling the boy by a number when he heard the boy's mother call out his name.
"Why do they clear the path for you? What makes you so special?"
"How impudent!"
"Father. Allow me to handle this. It's no big deal."
Their father gave him permission to deal with the boy.
"Come with us, 7. Then you will see what makes us special. Your mother too."
"You won't harm us, right?" Freddy asked
They laughed at this.
"No. Absolutely not! No harm comes to children, even if they are Normals. Light, make a note of this town, number 7 and number 8."
"Yes sir." He replied
His voice was much more delicate than the other man's deep booming voice.
I was watching them nearby and I was amazed that they hadn't noticed. Or perhaps they didn't care.
And so, they took the mother and her son with them. That's the last time that anyone ever heard of them.

People say that a city cannot be built within a day.
If you want the complete story, you must endure the painstakingly slow process of it. You must be driven yet patient. A lot of the information I have on the Clouds is already known so I am not exposing anyone here. That is not my intention. I want to highlight something important. Something that we must pay attention to. The uncomfortable truths concerning this extravagant family. I also received a lot of inside information from someone very close to the family and if it wasn't for this person, I wouldn't have much to write about and would've had to rely on my imagination to fill all the gaps. My entire story here will contain a lot of truths, however, I will use my imagination to fill all the gaps required, for instance, the dialogue they have and the events which are mentioned. Although I have made this as accurate as possible, it's impossible to obtain the whole truth when it comes to the secretive Cloud family.

'What did you just say to me?'
'I-I'm sorry. It was wrong of me to do that.'
'Say it then. Don't move. I want your knees on the ground and your snivelling bitch face looking up at me.'
'I've already said it to you. How much more convincing do you need?'
'Say it!'
'I love you! I love you! I-I shouldn't have-'
'Shouldn't have huh? You don't even know what you're apologising for. You're fucking pathetic. Now tell me you love me!'
'No. That's enough! You've treated me so terribly.'
'I see that you crave punishment.'
'N-No please don't!'
'Look at you trembling in front of a man. Mere words make for such a disgusting sight. Get out of my sight you trashy bitch. Actually, stay put. I'll make you cry for me.'
'Remember those sacred sessions with the elders? You were so little, so young! The drums, the jewel piece-'
'No no no! Please don't! Please don't!'
The young man woke up from his bed, drenched in sweat from his nightmare. These nightmares were common for him and this wasn't even the worst one!
He washed his hands and face then quickly brushed his blonde curls. Then he applied cream to keep his face and hands moisturised. He spent a few minutes looking out of his window towards the plants in the garden to relax. He dressed in a simple looking plain shirt, trousers and socks then greeted his parents and older brother Pete for they were the only ones who still lived in the family home. Pete was only 2 years older than him so he was 22 years old. The only sister was called Macaron and she was 24 years old. Chippy was 27 years old. The oldest sibling was the tall man with the straight combed back black hair mentioned earlier called Rio who was 28 years old!
Their maid already prepared their breakfast for them but Light and Pete happened to be the only ones who thanked her for the meal. As soon as Light was about to leave, his mother summoned him.
"Don't forget your badge!" She reminded him
And so he went upstairs to his room to get it but instead of wearing it on his neck, he put it in his bag unactivated. For once in his life, he wanted to go out and not have crowds following him around and lines of groupies hoping to date him. As he was walking in the streets and then in the mall, he noticed a couple kissing each other's faces off in the corner of one of the stores. He looked away from them and then froze after experiencing another flashback.
'So, why don't you want to date anyone?'
'Elder. If I date a girl, eventually I will have to have sex with her.'
'What's wrong with that? It's what people would hope for if they love each other isn't it.'
'I don't want to have sex with anyone. Not even Carmella.'
'I'm sure that you'll grow to love her one day. Looks like you're in need of more training, boy. I will summon Carmella and you know what you'll do next.'
'No please. We read books together and play music. I want things to stay that way.'
'Light. You've been a disrespectful boy. You know what happens to disrespectful boys?'
'P-Punishment.'
'Yeah that's right. If you don't want to be punished, you will do as your superiors say and carry on our tradition. No family of mine will commit the grave sin of voluntary celibacy!'
'But I am still a child! I am not allowed to do anything sexual.'
'Ha, you only have a few years left! Until then, take an example from your eldest brother. Learn from him all of his skills. He has successfully seduced many magnificent women and gained so much! Sexual exploration enriches the soul after all and how enriched your eldest must be! Looks like your skills need a little sharpening which is exactly why I'll call Carmella. You will be a good husband for her someday starting from now.'
'No! Leave her out of this! I'm not doing anything to her anymore!'
'Light. I've warned you time and time again. I don't like the way you speak to your superiors. This was your last warning!'
'No! Please spare me!'
'Twice already. It's happened to me twice.' Light thought
Light felt sick after remembering what happened to him when he dared stand up for himself. He remembered crying after the ordeal, promising himself that he would no longer stand up to them, unless it was a life or death situation. Out of the family, Light and Pete were the most rebellious in terms of disobeying family orders. That was why they were punished the most. The least punished was Macaron and Light used to think that it was because she was the family favourite but that was the furthest from the truth. He changed his viewpoint after he vented to her about the elders and Rio and Macaron laughed at him, calling him crazy for saying 'no' to them.
'Never say no to father, the elders and Rio. Do everything they tell you to do if you don't want to be punished.' He vaguely remembered her saying
Somehow, Light found it hard to believe that she did everything that they told her to do. She wasn't that type of woman. She was tough, confident and strong-willed.
"Are you alright?"
Light gasped and looked startled but he replied to the concerned looking woman.
"I-I am fine. I just zoned out for a second but I am good. All good. I am sorry." Light replied
"Why are you sorry? Don't apologise silly." She laughed which made him smile
He could tell that she was genuine and not making fun of him.
"I think that it's best you don't hang around me too long." Light told her
"Why not?" She asked him
"I've been struck with the winged arrow and now I have a target on my back."
"I know what you mean. W-what if I've been struck too?"
Light was speechless but amazed that she understood his reference.
As they were shopping they talked from time to time but the young lady couldn't help but notice the people's stares.
"I wonder why they're staring at you?" She asked Light
"I-I thought they were staring at you, not me." Light responded
"Why would you think that they're staring at me?"
Light looked at her and his grey eyes took in her facial expressions and body language.
"Uh..I dunno." Is all that he could say
'Wow, she's beautiful!' He thought
Some of the people nearby were chatting very quietly to each other about how good looking Light was.
And then it happened.
Inside that very busy mall, his badge fell on the floor and despite it being such a small object, it made such a loud noise! It could be compared with the noise that a hydro flask makes once it hits the ground.
"Shit!" Light replied
Soon everyone faced him and realised his true identity. The badge of blue and white: the infamous Cloud family!
"Oh my god I knew it!" One of the ladies in the mall cheered.
"Incredible! H-He is Light Cloud! The real one right here in our ordinary mall!"
"I-I can't believe it."
"I could tell from the moment that I laid my eyes on him. He is one of the elite!"
"Hey Mr Light Cloud!" A woman spoke, rushing her way through the crowd to get in front of him
"Hey." Light replied, feeling nervous again
A group of fangirls squealed, holding back the urge to take photos. Taking photos of the 'elite' was prohibited unless they had permission to do so.
"Please give this card over to Rio. I would appreciate it immensely if he receives it. I'll do anything so please accept my request."
"It's ok. I'll hand this note over to him for you."
"Ahh, you're an angel! Thank you so much for making my whole life."
Light nodded then prepared to leave the mall as quickly as he could.
Light was about to sink into the large crowd of fanatics until he found a way out and as soon as he did, he heard the beeping of a car.
He got inside the car all out of breath and realised that the woman that he was talking to earlier was the driver. He felt immediately relieved.
"So. Why didn't you tell me?" She asked him
Light zoned out after looking at her.
She then snapped her finger and giggled.
"Hey. Earth to Light. Earth to Light."
"Hey. S-So you were saying?" Light asked
She sighed playfully.
"I-I'm sorry." Light said again, squeezing his hands together
"Do you take anything?"
"Yes." Light replied
"So do I."
"Really? Wow, what for?" Light asked her
"Anxiety."
"Which one?"
"Xanax."
"I-I take Sertraline. But I don't need it sometimes so I'd rather not."
'Woah. That's intense.' She thought
"What's your name?" Light asked her
"Penelope. You can call me Pen."
Light nodded and then he looked out of the window.
"I don't think I gave you any directions. Where are we headed?" Light asked her
"We're headed to a sex party. Enjoy." She replied
"Wait what?!" Light responded
"Relax! I'm joking! I've decided to go to the theme park Thunderbirdz."
"I-I really like Thunderbirdz." Light replied, his eyes lighting up
'Aww he's actually too cute for a weirdo.' Pen thought
When they arrived at Thunderbirdz, Light activated the badge so that it left a temporary tattoo like marking on the side of his neck making his elite status clear.
As soon as the staff saw them, they let them in for free!
"Wow, people like you get free tickets? How lucky!"
"Not always. T-There's a limit to it." Light replied, correcting her
They had lots of fun and tried out every ride that Thunderbirdz had to offer. Light treated her with buffets and ice cream and anything she could ask for in the park.
Afterwards they got so carried away going out to different places that they forgot how late it was.
They exchanged numbers and it seemed obvious that they felt the same way towards each other but still, Light was unsure of whether to confess his feelings or not. After all, this was too quick and a love with such a quick start like this one would be sure to fade out just as quickly.
"Light. In all of my 18 years, I-I've never felt such a connection like this with anyone!"
"M-Me too. I'm happy you feel that way about someone like me." Light replied
"C-Can I hold your hand, if that's ok with you?" Pen asked him
"My hand? Ok." He replied then smiled slightly, not wanting to look awkward if he were to smile for too long
Light held his right hand towards her.
She wiped her palm against her sleeve then held his hand.
"This is what normal couples do." Light explained
"I know." She replied
"Why do they hold hands?" Light asked
"Maybe it's a symbol for their bond. For a short while, they are connected." Pen suggested
"Y-you know the same thing could be said about sex. For a short time, you're connected." Light said
"True." Pen replied
There was another moment of silence between them to which they didn't mind since they were both very introverted.
"Have you ever had sex before?" Light asked her
"No I haven't. Have you?" Pen asked
"No." Light replied
"Ok. Would you like to have sex?" She asked him
"No." Light replied
"No? With me or in general?" She asked
"No to both. I'm sorry b-but I-" Light attempted to explain
"Don't worry. There's no need to explain yourself. Let's just have fun ok." She smiled
Light smiled back.
"Ok." Light replied
"It's so late. I'd take you to my place but my parents-"
"It's fine. I'll direct you to my place. My parents would be very thrilled at the idea of me bringing a girl home. Outsiders wouldn't understand." Light said
"Very well then. Let's go. I'll tell my mum I went to a friend's house." She said
And so they went back to Light's place.
****
Light isn't the only person I want to focus on. His sister Macaron makes up a significant part of this story too. My fellow readers, brace yourselves for a tale of wicked libertinage!
'What is happening to me? What am I doing? It's time for me to stop thinking.' Macaron thought
At her request, she was bent over her desk and fucked roughly with her hands tied behind her back with a tie. Her thoughts had vanished and her mind became more peaceful the more that he pounded into her. You see, this was the kind of sex that she enjoyed most. She was all in for some pain, particularly pain mixed with pleasure to the point of where the two became indistinguishable.
"Aah harder! More! More! More! Yes, give it to me!" She commanded
"You and your demands. You're still not satisfied huh? Still, what did I expect from a dirty slut like you?" He replied
"Shut up and put that mediocre cock of yours to good use. I'm about to fall asleep you useless small neck small dick bastard!"
'Be careful what you wish for.' He thought
The man burst out laughing and then he gave her exactly what she asked for. The roughest screwing that he could manage. The sounds of sex echoed across the room and even though the walls in her house were almost soundproof, they could still be heard right outside of the room.
At the same time, there was another man who was called over to Macaron's house and as they were busy having sex, he was looking for her. Now he had one room left to search. He became alert after hearing them. The man was tall, strong and handsome looking. He had naturally tanned skin, sharp narrow eyes, a flat expression and short spiky black hair.
'What is that noise? Who's in there?' The man thought
"Macaron? Can I enter?" He called out to her
He was blessed with a nice deep voice, tall height, broad shoulders and a strong toned body which made him appear intimidating.
There was no response.
"Take it! Take it all! There you go you self centred bitch!" He heard
And then, he heard the suspicious sounds of struggle and violence.
The man burst into the room and was proven right!
There she was! The woman that he was going to meet. She was drooling, incoherent and in tears as the man was crushing her beneath him, pushing the side of her face down against the desk with his heavy hands and thrusting into her with tremendous force. It was as if he was possessed. No! Transformed into a beast, made evident by his low growls.
The man took one look at the scene displayed in front of him.
"Get your hands off of her now!" He shouted
The man charged towards him, pulling him off of her with ease.
Macaron was too far gone to speak so all she could do was stare at this man who was fighting him. The man who attacked him was a very skilled fighter, or so he seemed.
"Please stop! It was consensual! I promise!" He spoke in fear
"Bullshit! I know violence when I see it." The man replied, whilst restraining him
"Who are you anyway? Another one of her tools?" He asked
"No. I was going to be hired by her." The man replied
"As what? Her slave?" He asked
"No. Her bodyguard. Now get out of here before I kill you." The man replied, glaring at him
The man ran for his life out of her house after quickly gathering his belongings.
He then quickly attended to Macaron, covering her up with a spare bed sheet that he found.
"Are you alright?" He asked
"What do you think? I didn't even get to finish because of you." Macaron replied moodily
"Apologies." He spoke gruffly
He then cleared his throat.
"Oh well. You were just doing your job. Well done. Now sit." Macaron said
He immediately sat down on the floor in front of her.
"No not there you idiot. Sit on my bed." Macaron said
"Ok." He replied, getting up to sit on her bed
"You're hired now, take off your belt." She said
"W-Wait. I-I thought you hired me as your bodyguard. You also told me that you don't get intimate with your employees." He replied
"Come on. Take it off. Don't waste my time. Oh that reminds me. As a Normal, I will give you a number. Number 64, remove your belt. I want to put it in my mouth."
"64? Why 64? Could that be the number of partners you've had?" 64 asked
She looked at him then burst out laughing. He looked back at her blankly.
"Are you crazy? I came up with the numbers randomly!" She laughed
64 remembered her order and proceeded to take off his belt and undo his zip.
"64. Are you slow?" She asked him
"No. Why do you say that?" 64 asked her
"You're supposed to take your cock out, duh!" She told him
64 took his cock out and gripped onto it firmly. However, it was still soft.
"Well that's a first. You've seen me naked, partially wrapped in my bedsheet and it's still not hard yet. Wait. How old are you?" She asked him
"30." He replied
He blushed after she softly glided her hand down his chest towards his upper thighs. Now, she was on her knees in front of him.
"Macaron. I'd rather you didn't." He told her as soon as she put the tip inside her mouth.
'Well it's too late now.' She thought
She rolled her eyes then she let go.
"What's your real name? I'm sick and tired of calling you 64."
"Lucky. Lucky Kim."
"Ha, is that your real name?"
"Yes."
"You're a man of few words."
"Is that bad?" He asked her
"No. I like it. It's good that you don't say much." She replied
She continued to suck him off with all the skill that she'd acquired over the years.
Lucky placed his hand on the back of her head and kept his eyes fixed on her. He was holding back which drove her crazy in a good way.
"Fuck. The way that you're staring at me. You're looking down on me aren't you? Looking at me like I am trash. That's so hot!"
He let out a soft whimper as he felt her tongue working its magic. He felt a shiver travel up his body then gripped onto her hair more firmly than before.
"Macaron." He sighed softly, gently stroking her hair
"Pull my hair. Hurt me now."
"I don't want to. Sorry." Lucky replied
"I don't care. Do it."
Lucky didn't have to respond. The expression on his face revealed it all!
"There it is. That expression. You look like you're suffering and desperately want me to make you come but at the same time you're looking down on me. I am so glad I hired you."
Lucky allowed her to continue and when he was close to his climax, he tried to move away from her but she was relentless and continued to pleasure him. He let out a deep moan that he meant to hold in, grasping and pulling at her hair as he came inside her mouth. Simultaneously, she had been pleasuring herself with one hand and a few moments after him, she came too especially after he grasped at her hair accidentally getting rough with her.
As time went by, the two became a lot more familiar with each other and Lucky was discovering something new about her every time that they spent time together.
Mostly, he was ordered to watch the many no-strings-attached hookups of hers. He would stare at them intensely but strangely enough he wouldn't touch himself even when he got hard.
In the middle of watching her and one of her tools having sex, she managed to say something to him in between her moans.
"The next time I blow you, dress up as an army general for me. No need for a story. I just want to see you in uniform." She told him
"Understood." Lucky replied
Lucky dressed up as an army general for her as she requested. This time they were in the garden. Lucky was smoking and then after she approached him, he put out the cigarette and threw it away.
"Hey. I didn't know you smoked. Why didn't you tell me?" She asked him
"I dunno." He replied
"Never mind. You look so good in that uniform by the way." She complimented him
"Thanks." He replied
He looked like something was weighing on his mind to which Macaron questioned him about.
And then he asked her, "Why do you ask for 'this' from me?"
"Wanna know why? Because you're huge. Now let's stop all the chit-chat." She replied
"How do you really feel about me? Am I just a tool to you? Do you want me to embrace you one day?" He asked her
"You probably have gentle strait-laced sex so no way!" She replied
He felt a sudden ache in his chest after hearing her say that to him.
"Understood." He replied
"Stop it with all these silly questions. Now I want you to do something different for me. Follow my instructions exactly ok?"
"Ok." He replied, paying close attention to her
"Pull your trousers down to just above your knees. I will tell you a story so pay close attention to every word that comes out of my mouth. I want you to stop hiding so that the natural you will be unleashed! I want to see you touch yourself. You've touched yourself before haven't you?"
Lucky gulped and then nodded showing that he was compliant when it came to her overt requests. He whipped out his cock which was starting to get hard already. She was staring at him so intensely that you'd think that lasers would start shooting out from her eyes at any moment. She was starting to breathe a little harder especially as her story got more erotic. She was getting turned on and so was he.
"...and she had the most gorgeous looking legs that were so beautifully enhanced by her stockings that were incredibly soft to the touch.."
"Soft." Lucky sighed softly, closing his eyes and touching himself at her request
"Placing her hands on the back of his neck, beckoning him like a siren, he was already under her spell. Have you ever embraced a woman before, she asked him? He was all hot and bothered, his pretty face flushing pink. She let him put his fingers inside of her and she was wet for him. She then pushed him down and hiked up her skirt, ready to ride him."
As she continued the story, she couldn't help but notice how turned on he was. She chuckled, having a smug looking smirk on her face and even the sound of her chuckle added to the pleasure he felt, causing him to grip onto his cock even harder.
"Wow you're really hot and bothered today! You like being watched that much?" She asked him
"N-No it's not that. It's about your story. I really really like pretty looking legs. Soft, long and slender legs especially-"
"Especially what?" She asked further
"A pretty lady's thighs." He replied breathily, increasing his pace
He slowed down, closing his eyes again and his mouth was relaxed and slightly open in bliss.
"You're about to come aren't you?" She chuckled
"Oh, Mac. Please don't say that or else I won't be able to hold on any longer." He whined
"Whatever you want to do to me right now, you're welcome to do so. Lucky, come here." She said
"B-But are you sure?" Lucky asked her
"Come here now before I drag you by the collar!" She hissed even though she wasn't angry at all, only passionate
"I'm sorry." He said softly
She looked at him like he was strange because of what he said to her.
Lucky approached her, quickly lifting up her miniskirt with his left hand and holding his member with his other hand. He then lubricated his member using his saliva then rubbed himself against the side of her upper thigh and between her buttocks where she was wearing black fishnet tights. It didn't take him that long to reach his climax, spilling all over her thighs as he gasped and groaned as her thighs and butt pressed against his groin.
"I am sorry." He said again after putting his trousers on again.
"Again you apologised to me. You have some serious issues, you know that right? Sure you went further than I thought you would with the thigh sex but that's no reason to feel bad as if you did something wrong. Did your ex abuse you before, is that it?"
"I apologised to you for losing control. I got too greedy. About my exes, they've never abused me. I'm not ashamed of what I did. I'm not ashamed of sexual pleasure. I'm not ashamed of my high libido either. You have the wrong idea. Someone like me must ensure that they never lose control. I need more discipline." He explained
"Discipline huh? Go ahead and torture yourself with your virtues why don't you? You silly man." She scoffed
"I would rather be silly than lack self control." Lucky replied
"You have a high libido too?" She asked him
"Yes. Many times, I feel like I am on fire and trying to resist masturbation gives me a raging headache and stomachache. Like you, I cannot survive without the release that comes with sex and masturbation. I have been that way ever since I was a little child." Lucky confessed
"Wow really? You understand! You really do! So when did you first feel this intense hunger?" She asked him
"It started when I was just 9 years old. The feeling was too overwhelming for me to even process. I naturally learned how to relieve myself of this feeling by touching myself. I found that when I would try to avoid touching myself, I used to get so horny that it would start to hurt and it felt like torture. After coming, I would be relieved from this burdensome feeling. People frown upon the act of masturbation but what can you do when you're born with such a high libido?"
"It's inevitable for those with high libidos. Or else they would go insane and for hours they would be unable to focus on anything else. Sex is good. Sex is healthy and natural. I despise those who make sex and sexual pleasure out to be a shameful and taboo act! I despise these religious loonies who condemn people like us and make us out to be sinners! If only they could all be executed, the world would be a much better place." She ranted a little too passionately
"I agree with most of what you said. However, violence only begets more violence."
"That's what wimps who've never ever faced conflict before say."
He chuckled then frowned at her statement.
"You have no idea what you're talking about yet you still run your mouth." He said, shaking his head and walking away from her
"Hey, what did I say wrong? Why are you walking away? Are you upset?" She asked him
Lucky glared at her then walked off, lighting another cigarette.
She let him cool down for about half an hour because she went back to check on him. She raised an eyebrow at him after she saw that he was still sulking. He was in the living room sitting on the sofa.
"I'm sorry. I got too carried away and didn't know what I was saying. Now please tell me why you got offended at my statement." She told him
"Please spare me for today. I really don't want to talk about it." He pleaded
"Really? It's that terrible? I see now. You have trauma too. Who isn't dealing with some form of trauma these days?" She said
"If you want to share anything about your trauma with me, I swear to keep this to my grave! And I really hope that- actually never mind." Lucky said
"What do you hope for? Tell me now." She asked him
Lucky held her chin and said sincerely, "How could anyone hurt you, Macaron?"
"Eww, stop that! You're making me feel sick." She said, scrunching up her face again
"About my trauma, where do I even begin?" She sighed, rolling her eyes
"Whatever you tell me is safe with me, ok." He told her sincerely
Surprisingly enough she didn't tell him off or comment on him being too nice to her.
"Before you say anything, our family has a culture, ok? Our ancestors and elders are highly important. I used to be a normal kid until I got sullied. Number 13 is right. I am a dirty bitch. I'm also a massive slut who can't live without cock!" She revealed
"Please don't say that about yourself. You're not dirty. You are beautiful, confident and intelligent." He told her
"It doesn't matter what you think I am. You don't know me well enough to say these things about me!"
"I am sorry Mac. Also by sullied, what do you mean?"
Macaron looked spaced out all of a sudden and felt chills running through her as she tried to open up to her bodyguard. He noticed this which made his heart ache for her.
"Would you like me to hold you?" He offered to console her
"No thanks. I am not looking to be babied!" She replied
He waited for her to say something.
"I was introduced to all kinds of sexual perversions from the moment that I turned 8 years old. I was subjected to this by the people we call 'elders'. The elders consist of my grandfather and his closest friends most familiar with our traditions. I was only 8 years old when I learned the reality. The reality that the adults have been hiding. Their perversions. You know what that does to a child? I'm sure that you can guess. Some like my little brother become repulsed by sex whereas others like myself become addicted. Sex becomes your bread and butter. Without it, Mac feels like something huge is missing and then she feels scared and then she hurts herself because she has to feel something. She has to feel something strong or else something terrible will happen to her! She's trapped in this hell. No way out. There's no way out! I am damned! I am damned! I'm damned!" She said, panicking the more that she was opening up to him
By impulse, a concerned Lucky reached out to hug her and she allowed him to hug her but she was frozen whilst being wrapped up in his arms.
They continued to hug each other on the sofa saying nothing at all. He gently stroked her blond hair on the back of her head. She leaned on him, making her head rest on his shoulder, feeling his heartbeat.
All of a sudden, Lucky heard the faint sound of music playing and he couldn't tell where the sound was coming from. The music itself was very familiar to him. He could recognize that rhythmic drumming from anywhere!
Soon, she was fast asleep on him.
Lucky was beginning to feel very strange and sleepy. He looked at her, taking in the beautiful sight of her. At first, he felt her hands which were smooth to the touch. The rhythmic drumming echoed inside his mind and he felt his heart beat faster. He found himself slowly hiking up her skirt. He caressed her thighs through the holes of the fishnet tights. He then managed to feel her from under her underwear and was surprised by how wet she was. He stopped when she shuffled in her sleep, thinking that she woke up. He wanted her. He felt the urge to kiss her but was afraid that she would get angry with him and abandon him. He thought about touching himself but she was physically too close to him for that to happen. He took a few deep breaths to regain his self control but the more he resisted, the more he could notice the hypnotic drumming sound. He was beginning to get scared as he could no longer tell if the sound was coming from somewhere or if it was all inside his head.
'This love. Soon, this love will kill me!' He thought
Soon, she woke up and he realised that his hand was still underneath her skirt!
"Oh. What's this? 64." She mumbled sleepily
Lucky was speechless and knew he was caught.
"I-I was-I am sorry." Lucky stuttered nervously
"Were you trying to rap.e me?" She asked, chuckling
"N-No. Of course not!" Lucky replied
She giggled then she grabbed him by the wrist, guiding his hand underneath her underwear.
As soon as his fingertips touched her down there, she made him stop.
"Wait. Not yet. You're going to confess. The drums. You hear them too right? I set it off to go at this time. I was planning to have a session. Now, I will have this session with you."
"What's the nature of this session?" Lucky asked her
"I am going to turn the music up a bit. Then you'll answer my questions after you close your eyes."
"Understood. I am familiar with this type of music. Back in my country, our people would use it to heighten focus and discipline."
"Your country. So you're a foreigner after all? I had my suspicions. Your spiky hair and deliciously brown skin gave it all away! Please tell me where you come from."
"I originally come from Luna. Now it's known as area 18."
"Ah, area 18. They were a resistance country weren't they. Our Emperor wiped the floor with them all! That's so funny!"
"I don't think it's that funny." Lucky pouted
"Relax, I was joking! Anyway, our session has already started. What is your deepest regret?"
"My deepest regret?" Lucky repeated back, then he shivered
"What's wrong?" She smirked
"Why are you being so cruel to me? Why do you want me to remember what I'd kept locked away for years?" Lucky asked her
"Lucky, I want to help you heal. Now close your eyes. Listen to the music. What can you see?" Macaron asked him
"A battlefield." He replied
He was out of breath and panting out of fear
"What do you wish you could do or tell yourself?"
He let out a grunt as he stood up all of a sudden with his eyes still shut.
"Why?" He growled out, falling to the ground on his knees
Macaron stared at him all puzzled as he was now on all fours, crawling across the carpet floor.
He yelled out all of a sudden and was making these guttural groans. He bit into his arm with so much force that he drew his blood.
"Stop it, Lucky!" She spoke softly, attempting to calm him down
He was growling and punching up the floor, making her frightened and slowly back away from him.
"Why did you live?! Why did you live?!" He yelled out loudly, clutching onto his head
He was having a fit.
"Think back to a happier time! A happier place!" She told him softly
He paused and focused on the music again, making himself calm again.
"I am at the beach with my two friends. I can hear the birds singing. Feel the breeze cooling me down from the sun."
"How are you feeling right now? Be honest."
"I don't like what you're doing to me. I don't trust you."
"That's your fear talking but no need to worry. You're safe and now have power over your experiences. Underneath all that fear is this instinct from within. It's highly sexual and naturally primal. You can feel it stronger now, can't you?"
"Mac, please." He whimpered
"Why do you hold back and deliberately cause yourself pain? You are so disciplined even though you are only halfway here." She told him, sitting down on the floor with him
"What are you doing to me?" He asked her
"Do you like sitting on the floor? Is that an area 18 thing?"
"Yes. Yes it is." He replied, staring at his fingers as if it were the most interesting thing in the world
She placed her hand on his chest and sighed.
"Tell me what else you feel right now?"
"Anger. At you and at myself." He replied
"Rage." She whispered out, looking into his eyes
"Guilt." He continued
"Lust." She replied breathily, quickly licking her lips
"Lust." He replied breathily, placing his hand on the side of her face
He closed his eyes again and saw something different.
Fire, blood and the corpse of many fallen warriors.
He saw himself being surrounded and held down by several enemy soldiers. The people who invaded his country. The sound of the drums got louder and louder until he could feel his heart jump out of his chest.
"What are you seeing?" She spoke
"Me and the enemy soldiers. We're all playing a game together." Lucky replied
"Really? What's the game that you're playing?" She asked him
"We're playing a game of executioner." He answered
After that, he passed out on the floor and Macaron left him alone to rest, giving him her blanket, a bottle of water and a bag of crisps.

I received information that the Cloud family would be holding this exclusive VIP event. Upon investigation of this so-called event, I realised that it was nothing more than a perverse party of the elite. Until recently, they banned children from attending which in my opinion they should've done a long time ago. There is no place for children at an event of that nature. I wanted to investigate even further so I was hoping to attend the party myself. Therefore, I got into contact with the most elite person I knew. The man who called himself Z. I cut ties with him during our time in the realm of X but now it was necessary for me to get back to him.
Before I could figure out how to contact Z, I got another message from someone who claimed to be part of the Cloud family. And so, we met up somewhere.
"Are you really the person that you say you are?" I asked him
"Yes I am. Are you really Might?" He spoke
His voice sounded so soft and angelic. He was also good looking and youthful and his hair was as lit as a bright flame! For some reason, he was barely making eye contact with me to which I understood since I found it awkward to make regular eye contact with people. Either I would stare them down and frighten them for good or keep my head down the whole way through. There was no inbetween!
"Yes I am." I replied
"I am trusting you right now. Somehow, my heart is telling me to trust you." He said to me
"Your heart is correct right now." I chuckled
He laughed, then ran his hand through his hair.
"Please Might. I really need your help. This event is evil! Please put an end to this party." He pleaded
"You realise that I have no power to cancel such an elite party right? I am quite useless because I can only document events, not change them." I shook my head
"You're investigating us aren't you? Please be fair and keep me anonymous ok?" He pleaded
"Of course. I only focus on the truth and nothing but the truth." I chuckled
"I am so glad. This event called Tiger Claw is serious but nobody does anything to intervene. Even the law doesn't get involved because they are afraid of getting in the way of our beliefs. They don't want to offend us elites. My libertine family despise anything to do with religion and anything virtuous. Our practices are deemed twisted and diabolical from the perspective of outsiders like you. Tiger Claw frightens me. The drums. I know how they raped in their orgies! I saw how they beat on each other and growled like wild animals. I know what they allowed to happen to me that time and I was only a boy! That smell. I don't think that I can ever forget the smell! All those perverse people running about and wreaking havoc on each other. The strong dominate the weak. I saw and experienced things that no boy should've experienced and my own father laughed at me saying that what happened to me was my fault for being so pretty. I am sorry. Too much information isn't it?" He confessed
"No. Not at all! Thank you for giving me this information. Whilst I cannot shut it down, I can open the public's eyes to it and see whether our positive-minded emperor will care enough to intervene and do something about it." I replied
"Might." He called out to me
"What is it?"
"I am so glad that I met you. I promise to help you gain access to Tiger Claw." He smiled so brightly that it made my eyes hurt
I gave the young man a smile and then we shook hands and he left.
He was so slender and soft looking. It was as if he was still a boy. What a youthful looking face! Although his eyes were grey, they were so bright and full of life even after everything that he's been through. And so, I was able to gain access to this party and besides from the odd looks that I was getting, nobody was messing with me. However, what took place here was far greater than anything that I could've ever imagined! Oh, what a perverse party it was!
