Part 3: DAY 03
( Sleep Token Lyric Challenge by @a-s-levynn )
This ain't gonna be art for now..
yet.
But instead! An oc's sibling angst oneshot,but before you must start.. warnings ↓
{ TW/TRIGGER WARNINGS:
Implied kidnapping
Mentions of Dysfunctional Family and Implied Abuse(such as either mental, emotional and physical.)
Mentions of Death ( which includes characters who are my ocs, also um parent death. )
Implied Panic Attacks
Mentions of Nightmares
Styles of Anxiety and Paranoia
And Mental Heath mentioned.}
( Btw, just to let you know that this is only my oc lore and my interpretation canon lore to ST, and no this is not canon in real life that they will be having a new band member. I just had to clarify just in case fore' I had to block someone who had said it. )
That will be a first POV of this lore I will be working btw.. and with that!
Let us begin..
an Ascensionism inspired angst oneshot.
Undercut: ↓
[ August 3, 2023 took place of-
Las Vegas, the REDACTED Residence on a streetown. ]
There is no way, no way that the brother that I always love..
now went missing.
I can't be all alone! NOT LIKE THIS!!
Not without my brother like that!! How am I supposed to keep on waiting since he told me that secret?!
...But none of that matters anyway, my sisters were still nicer to me.. though I- can notice that they felt tired.
I see why..
All was starting with worry when Jasmine tried to call Ace, over and over again but there is no response.
Til now.. Hell broke loose when She and Nora began to argue outside of my room during 8:14 PM after Nora returned from working at Starbucks.. I didn't like that, when I began to just hearing that Ace haven't responded her calls.
I didn't believe her at first.. til I tried calling him too.
No responses.
Yet it's the same thing when I tried and tried again. But again, all nothing but silence.
Now I feel scared, scared if my brother was either snatched by someone, or is it because he was busy? But what I am now officially dealing with is that.. well—
I didn't want the broken family we used to had unto from return, Jasmine began to feel tired, feel workaholic, and yet anger is inside because she'll do what it takes to find Ace.. She now works for the detective after she had to quit her job for being a gardener, but Nora and I were worried, but we also didn't want to interrupt her.. and so, we had no choice.
We had to leave her and move somewhere so that she won't hurt us again.
Like our own mother and grandfather from before.
I remember Father and Auntie trying to protect us from them, not until they died from a terrible accident.. yet we're the only three left, the Siblings.
[ August 8, 2023, 10:38 PM.. 4 weeks later after. ]
My own sense of anxiety and paranoia began to spread as I was just lying still on my bed, staring at the celling from midnight. Reflecting it like a shadow shuddering behind the celling fan.. and yet I was shaking from only fear. Because of fear, only just fear and nothing else.
I can't help but feel nothing as a fragile doll, but I don't want them to know..
...There was a nightmare I had, 3 weeks ago at 11:11 PM.
I didn't even want to mention it but it was so scary... Scary but at first, me and Ace were just playing around at the neighborhood, I didn't realize that something happened. Then I stopped, in confusion.. and now scared, as I just saw my brother being held from blue strings, for me, I was forced to watch him get dragged away by... those 5 red eyes.
Yes, those 5 red eyes... I'm not sure what that was. But it scared me.
I was supposed to run up to my brother, reaching him, trying to save him from whatever is trying to get him.
But darkness nor light either tried to stop me, as I got greeted by an...archangel entity–like demi-god, it looked like a woman but not like that in my own eyes.
This demi-god I first saw has 5 eyes, white silvered skin, glowing red color, 3 wings, a black veil dressed and dried dark brown medium-like hair, while staring at my brother who is now in strings like a puppet doll. There was someone controlling him..
I was too frozen when staring at...whoever is hunting my dreams, the expression was blank, blank at first but there is a smile to the lips.. she slowly placed a finger on her lips to keep me quiet, I don't know what to do now but to nod despite my paranoia and fear beginning to rise up.
Then she proceeded to leave like a floating angel, when I tried to get up and shouted at my brother's name to make him "respond"..
I now woke up, shaking and shivering what I just witness.
It was someone, someone who was actually the one who took my brother away from me. And yet I...hated that nightmare. I really do.
Then weeks later, I always pretended that everything is okay to my sister Nora, she was suspicious at first but she always just shrugged and just..let that slide, thank god.
I was this lucky enough that I began to had an panic attack when I was home alone, lucky me didn't have the security cameras at our new home.. Wonder how Jasmine is okay but who knows...
I feel she is no longer the first older sister I loved now. She has changed.
But what that reminds me... Ace is a journalist, he is trying to research about that "Sleep" God he tells me and my sisters' stories about. Every now and then.
Until realization hits me...
Did it just..
.....Was it the one who took Ace?
..Did it, or she actually did?
Or is just my anxiety trying and making me feel delusional?
And yet I hate it.
I hated it so much that I can't help but cry quietly and softly in fear and anxiety mixing together from my brain and body, I tend to cover it with under my own pillow and my blanket.
This is really all my fault for keeping a lot of secrets, it must have been. Because before the week he went missing, he told me about something of him wanting to be a new bandmate of that band we all loved.
I just wish I could stay with Ace.
I just wish I couldn't keep his secrets but I just can't do it, ..bitter consequences will hit me if I say the truth to the ones I know.
This will be the bitter deception I will be forced to live on for now. And it cannot make me feel safe. Nor to set me free from the tragic and sadness that I've been through.
....But maybe.... just— m-maybe..
If you are really safe for me, or you feel comfort for being safe to whoever snatched you, dear brother..
Will you come home?

It's been two months!! How are you feeling? How are sales going? Have you found a name for a sequel? What can we do to help?
you're very sweet anon!
i just checked the sales (that i can easily access) because i haven't for awhile, and not after that book blog tour i tried, and it only serves to remind me that ingramspark is very confusing with their sales reports.
BUT. if i'm doing my math correctly and ingramspark isn't doing something really stupid, then i've very much broken triple digits on my sales!
not only that, but WOAH NELLY WHAT IS THIS
i... actually don't know what that is. it can't be just my books, because i only have one available through them. but it seems hard to believe that it's #2 overall?? i'm not selling that much. (yet!!) but it makes for a really neat screenshot to take! it also gave me a little gold ribbon on my book thumbnail :'3
i have NOT found a title, and i hate that Very Much, but that's also something i can't ask for outside advice on because holy legality batman.
THAT SAID. here is a list of ways to help your local skitty author with her local guides to the supernatural:
REVIEW. review my books on amazon and goodreads and wherever else you want!
TELL PEOPLE TO BUY MY BOOK! friends, family, libraries, your boss who is cool with queer content and swearing, and maybe your influencer cat who makes more money than you or i will ever dream of!
send asks! i love asks! and again: you're very sweet, anon :> these fill me with warm fuzzies and the support needed to scowl my way through editing for preptober
make fanart! make fanfic! make SOMETHING. i know a lot of people are like "i can't make anything ;O;" but trust me. y'all can. go make natalie's mashed potatoes! make a playlist! make the vorpal sword! crochet a unicorn! hunt an afanc! find a taxidermied jackalope to take promo pics with! talk about it on social media (and tag me; i'll talk back)! everything that fandom does generates hype for a series, and weird things are great.
i'll be looking for beta readers and ARC reviewer/readers in coming months, so do one of those! or both! (i think you can be both? i don't see why not?)
help me figure out a way to get the cool promo pictures i took on my fancy camera onto my laptop because i only just have realized that my stupid laptop doesn't even have a normal-sized SD card port
seriously tho, keep sending asks. questions, comments, liveblogs, predictions, anything! (except title name ideas, because if you come up with a really cool one, i can't use it, and then i'll be peeved i can't use it.)
stream distractible & go my favorite sports team on podcast sites so i can partake of markiplier's onlyfans. that will support me A Lot.
