Don't Hug Me I'm The Chosen One: The Prophecy Begins (Book 1)

desperately

I feel very lightheaded and I fell on my knees. Thick scarlet fluid, which I wished wasn't my own blood, was flowing out of my chest, where the tip of what looked like a sharp clock hand was showing. I coughed and more blood came out of my mouth. My blood tasted like iron rod. This was the most painful injury I've had so far. I've started to think this is now the end of me. The prophecy they've had of me would never come true...

"YOU MONSTER!" I heard Robin shriek. "HE WAS JUST A CHILD!"

The long sharp clock hand makes its way out back from where it came from. Harry catches me before my head hits the floor. My eyes were becoming weak yet I still saw Robin attack a familiar-looking blue man, Tony. The green duck manages to shut him out with a loud slam of the door. I heard my dads, especially Robin, whimper, as I shut my eyes down.

"H-he's still alive, r-right? Please t-tell me he is!" sobbed Robin.

I got startled as Harry slapped me in the face. The smile of relief was visible in their faces as I opened my eyes again. But my condition never got any better. I once again coughed blood. The door seem as if it's getting eaten by the wood-eating mites at an extreme speed.

"HEAL HIM WHILE DOI'S STILL ALIVE AND BREATHING, YOU GIANT IDIOT!" yelled my papa while he shakes Harry in panic.

My chest and insides felt all tickly as Harry rubs my wounds. After a while I feel strong again and the hole on my chest has vanished. Suddenly, the half-mite-infested door falls down the floor. Its loud thud made me jump. Tony has came back.

"GET THE HECK OUTTA HERE!" I yelled.

I grabbed the statue's hand and threw it at him. However, Tony shoots a white flare at it. The statue hand stayed frozen floating in the air. He has stopped the time around that hand!

"I was almost successful in fulfilling the grand quest he has given me but you ugly pests ruined it," said Tony.

Tony is the king of time in the realm of spies remarked Robin. He can bend the time any time he wants that's why he's very difficult to defeat.

But if I managed to free Paige, the queen of creativity, from manipulation then I can free Tony as well I insisted.

I looked carefully to where the 619 tattoo on Tony was located and readied my fist. Unfortunately, before I could make contact with his face, he grabbed my arm. His grip was very strong but too unfortunate for him, I managed to overpower him. I kicked Tony in the stomach and ran away.

The hallway wasn't that long despite having lots of doors. I tripped right at the top of the stairs. There, I saw Paige still having a duel with...how did Tony downstairs so fast?! Did Paige even waited for him to come back before she continued their fight? All of a sudden, I hear ticking sounds behind me. (A/n: I was listening to Dollhouse by Melanie Martinez and right when I typed "ticking sounds" I heard the actual ticking sounds in the intro 💀)

"You can run and hide all you can but he'll never stop until he finds you."

I looked behind me and was shocked to see Tony in his object form crawling on the wall. But there's another him downstairs, who was currently being overpowered by Paige...Robin is right, Tony has the ability to bend time. All of a sudden I saw about 2 of Harry's clones arrive. They grabbed the version of Tony that is on the wall and pinned him on the floor, giving me time to consider where to run.

Go follow your papa while I distract this clock! He'll show you a good escape route.

I followed what Harry told me and went to find Robin in a random room, waving at me. He quickly closes the door the second I entered. The window was already open but there were no sight of ladder or anything to climb down to. On the floor rests the statue's hand.

"Why did you take this, papa?" I asked.

"You know I'm quite fond of scavenger hunting," he said. "Even in my earliest days after being hatched, searching for interesting stuff and collecting bunch of them have been my hobby."

Robin climbs at a window and squats like a superhero ready for a huge leap. My eyes got distracted and stared at the statue hand that was on the floor for a while.

"Hey sweetie, can you please carry that hand? I'm not as strong as you are. I just dragged that thing earlier and my arms ache a lot," he told me.

"Ok papa."

I have no idea why but I picked up the hand anyway. He  motions me to ride on his back and I did.

"Hold tight on me while you secure that statue hand," instructed Robin. "Yes, the hand is a prized treasure but your safety is more important."

I tucked the statue's hand deep in my left arm while I put my right arm around Robin's upper chest. He spreads his arms and lets them transform into wings and then flaps them after jumping from the window. The flight was a lot like a rollercoaster ride! We flew away from the house and over the town. All the buildings and other things below look like miniature.

"So, papa, where are we going?" I asked.

"To freedom, Manny. To freedom!" Robin replied enthusiastically. "Also, we're off to find your real parents and prepare you so you'd be strong enough to bring down you-know-who."

"I already found my real dad."

He looks at me, his wings flapping nonstop. "Where?"

"I dunno where he is right now but as far as I know, he'd been forced to become part of you-know-who's army just like the others," I said.

Oh gosh, not Roy. He was such a noble man, I heard Robin say to himself.

Tw: concept and mention of the word $u1cld3

As we went above a nearby forest, the statue hand I'm holding suddenly vibrated. Both of us were startled and we didn't know why it was happening. All of a sudden, the hand jumps off my arm and commits suicide the same way I tried back in the human world. Robin heads to the ground while I aim to catch the statue hand. Sadly, I failed to, but miraculously, the hand didn't broke down to pieces. Robin lands and helps me get down. As I was about to pick up the hand, I heard a familiar female voice call on us. I looked around and saw Paige in her object form.

"You need to be careful!" she warned. "While I was being puppetified, you-know-who hid a secret and put a trap that could potentially put you in danger in case you were about to find out about his secret plan."

"So if you were aware the whole time but can't have control over yourself, you must've found out about this top-secret plan," I said.

"Doi, the hand..."

I ignored Robin due to my curiosity and desperation. "What's you-know-who's secret plan?"

"Since there's only 3 of us in here right now, the secret plan is..."

"HEY GUYS!"

I groaned as Harry unintentionally interrupted Paige. He came in running and hugged me and Robin. It was only now I noticed the statue hand was vibrating more violently than before. I tried to pick the hand but it was vibrating so bad I feel like I'm holding on an active washing machine. My mouth constantly makes the "ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ" sounds and my arms felt all wobbly since I can't really handle vibrating things. I tried to walk away to put the hand somewhere else safe but my feet made a big mistake and I fell backwards. Unfortunately, it wasn't the ground I fell into, but a fucking hole.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!"

"NOOOOO! MY LITTLE FURBALL!"
