TW: Hallucinations, hospitals, sleep paralysis, entities, needles, and more. ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ ⇣ All names, and places in this story are COMPLETLY coincidence. To my gf, who likes mythology and weird things :3 Chapter 0: Introduction to Francis Orcony Francis Orcony was a young teenage boy that loved music and could frequently be heard singing the tantalizing sounds of different songs. When he had just turned 15 when he found out the truth, realized who he actually was and met his biological mother. Chapter 1: Weird Morning “Francis! Wake up or you’ll be late!” Said a voice on the edge of the steps that seemed to go on forever. It was still cold and dark but he pulled on his clothes and ran downstairs. He heard a noise, like someone was playing with an empty plastic bag. He brushes it away as he runs down to hug his parents. “Good Mornin’ Sleepy Head.” His father said this as he sat down some eggs and bacon in front of him and rubbed Francis’s head, messing up his recently combed hair. “Hey!” He said, making a face clearly annoyed. He looked around the kitchen, feeling an unsettling gust of air. He finishes up his eggs before rushing off to catch the bus “Bye Mom! Bye Dad!” He yelled as he exited the door. Chapter 2: The Boy? He rushed onto the bus hearing, the loud chattering on peoples phones and girls gossiping about boys. He pulled out a book as someone who had just gotten on the bus and made their way to sit in the back next to Francis. He glances at the figure as he scoots away, feeling nervous. It was like the feeling when you are in a cold classroom with no jacket, just worse. And he couldn’t expain it either. The figure seemed to think before saying “Hello! I am Thackery!” He smiles a big, crooked smile before holding out his hand for a hand shake. Francis simply shook his head and continued to read his book. He arrives at the school to see that it was raining. “Great,” He thought. “Now I can also be wet.” He said to himself annoyed as people pushed through the crowd to go find the cliques they were in. As he walks to class he sees a tall shadow towering way above him. He simply turns around and walks away as the figure follows close behind. Francis turned around and started running, keeping his eyes low, as he yelled behind him “Why are you following me-” but the figure had seemed to disappear. Chapter 3: Who was that- He continues running despite no longer being followed. “What,” He takes in a big breath “What was that?” He said, gasping for air. He was down by the girls bathroom and what just happened to be his next class. “Sorry I am late Mrs. Carphyle (Car-file)” He said as he scooted through the back of the class to his cold seat. He sees the same grinning face of the boy on the bus as he waves his bony hands. “Mr. Orcony, you will now sit next to Thackery. As he is new and needs a friend.” She smiles as she turns around to the chalk board and writes the day's new unit. As Mrs. Carphyle babbles on about the amazing science of cellar spiders, he looks out the window to the ocean blue sky and birds and the clouds seeming to try to engulf the sun. “Why do I always have to be friends with the new kids?” He thought as he let out an exasperated sigh. Thackery looks at him raising an eyebrow to his new “friend”. “You okay friend, that never told me their name?” He said with what sounded like a whimper in his voice. “Uh yeah…” Francis said as he listened to the beatiful song of the birds. Chapter 4: Why Thackery? Francis looked at the doodles of mythological creatures he had made up or randomly thought up. “Woah,” He says looking at the one specific drawing. It look like a mix between a woman and a bird or mermaid, depending on which way you saw it. “Thats kind of cool!” He said whispering to himself as he begins to rummage through his hell of a bag. “Of course I can’t find my pen for class…” He sighs, when out of the corner of his eye he sees Thackery having … claws? “I am just hallucinating, its just ADHD messing with me I. Am. Fine.” He whispers to himself gaining his two peers attention they start to stare at him. The day passes as it would normally, minus thinking Thackery had claws. “Why would my brain trick me like that,” Francis said as he looked around at the kids scowling each other. Like every normal Friday. He hopped on to the hot bus with people screaming. Since his house wasn’t far from the school he debated walking home but figured his parents would prefer his being “ασφαλής (asfalís)” meaning safe. He started his homework from every class early so maybe tonight he would get maybe at least one hour of sleep. (continued below)
Chapter 5: Sleepy Time… After what felt like an eternity, Francis arrives home. The warm air of having all the heaters on welcomed him with a “Poof “ as he walked in. “Francis,” Says his father grimly “We need to talk immediately…” He sighed looking to the ground holding the hand of his wife, who was doing the same thing. His father turned on the TV to the news with the horrifying head line, “Young boy, named Francis Orcony, has gone missing this afternoon. What has happened today has left his MOTHER devistated,” He looked at the television in horrific shock. “Be still Francis and make this easier for us all…” Said his mother, or who he thought was his mother, in a melanchony-ish tone. “Wha-What do you mean,” He asked trying to keep some tears in. He toughens up and asks again, but more confidently this time, “What do you mean by “make this easier for all of us…” and why would I need to be sti-” All of the sudden everything went dark. His head was thumping, his heart racing, his lower back in immense pain. “Ugh,” He sighed as he collasped, feeling paralyzed. Chapter 6: Did I die? Francis head thumped with pain as if he hit his head on the corner of a table. (A likely possibility) He thought he had gone crazy hearing voices, not loud and close but faint and far away. “Do you think he’ll be… Why wouldn’t he?… Any “physical” chang… I think so…” He heard this before jolting up in what to be a hospital bed. “What happened- Did I die!?!” He screams before dropping his head down onto the pillow trying not to faint again. He sees a series of doctors with masks, coats, needles, and more doctor-y stuff. “Uhh,” He said thinking before asking “Are you gonna give me a shot?” He chuckled after realizing what he said in some way. The doctors that seemed to touch the sky started chattered to each other aand write things down. Eventually they walked out and talk to voices outside that walk in. “Hello there! I am Nurse Freya! I just needed to ask you a few questions if thats alright?” She smiled. He nods as he looks at his arms and body. He had bandages and IV’s everywhere. The nurse looks and starts to ask questions. “So how old are you?” “Fifteen tomorrow…” He sighs with pain in his voice. It felt liked he hadn’t drank water in years. Or eaten to be honest. “Oh um okay good, good…” She said sounding very very worried. “What is your name?” “Oh uh…” He perked up and stared at her “Um, Francis Orcony…” “You mean the one who ‘disappeared’ and was on the news?” She asked suprised. “Welp! That is all I need to know! Thanks for the easy converstation!” She stood up with a tail stick out of the dark blue pants she wore. Chapter 7: Is everyone just mutated? “Wait-” He yelled before she walked out. “You have a tail!” He said under his breath. “Yeah and?” She asked with a some what snarky tone in her voice. “That is not normal!” He yelled in an angry tone. “Calm down…” Freya yelled back. “Geez,” She whispered “That kid is crazy…” She walked out as she slammed the door. “BANG” goes the door as Francis covers his ears. “Dang! Mad much?” He said before a tall figure in all white and gray heels walks in. Chapter 8: You look familiar- Francis eyes go wide as he looks at the towering figure. “You look familiar-” He said quietly. “Why so fearful? You seem as you have been through a lot,” She said with a sparkling glint in her eyes, but still not fully visible in the faint lights. “Anyways, your mother is here to meet you…” She said almost to happily. “See you, Francis Orcony” She said as she skipped off into the distance. Well “skip” is maybe a but of an over statement but that’s what it looked like. “Francis…” whispered a voice from behind. “Wake up…” whispered more joining in this time. “What do you mean-” He yelled “I am awake!” Chapter 9: Who are you? He jolts awake as he hears the ever-lasting sound of what sounded like someone was hitting the door with a hammer. “Hello?” He yelled. Looking around, everything looked normal. Just his regular old room. He carefully gets off his bed with intentions to go downstairs. But his body decides otherwise “What-” He says, trying to stay calm. “What is happening!” He screams. He looks at his back feeling a stinging pain to see what looked like wings sprouting out of his back.
