Hello my friends, welcome to book six of the claimed series. I was going to wait to post till I was further into the story but because I am challenging myself to write three thousand words each chapter it's taking longer than I expected. Please be patient with me as I try this new challenge. I already have the first five chapters done but I think I will only post one today.
Also please don't hate Knock too much he's not all bad.
Knock laughed as friends teased the new student that they welcomed into the group. His friends consisted of two girls and one boy before the new guy showed up. Yihwa, Fai and Farm had all known each other since they were kids and had grown up together. Cho had moved here from Bangkok with his parents three years ago. They had no idea about the mansion on the hill and why every year a boy is given to the demons that lived in that creepy mansion.
Cho was just as disgusted with the events that happened three years ago as Knock and his friends were. They had all watched helplessly as the mayor's son and school bully Jacob hit a boy that didn't really know Knock named Can over the head with a bat, knocking him out and taking him out of the gym. They were all only fourteen at the time and could have stopped it even if they tried. He guessed it worked out for him since he had heard through one of Jacob's groupies that Can had been claimed by a guy that seemed to care about him.
The next year, an outsider who just moved here was tricked into going up to the manor. Apparently a young single dad who had no clue about the history of the town was told by the mayor and his wife that an elderly couple lived there. They had asked the guy to take a can of cookies to them since the wife was busy and could do it. That poor guy took his sister and went up to the mansion and wasn't seen again till he escaped. From what he had heard from Type's parents, Arthit was found and taken back to the mansion where he fell in love with his demon.
The next year after that, they were all nervous about who would be claimed next, only to discover through a human messenger that a boy had been claimed from Stone Ridge, so there would be no claiming that year. This year he was even more nervous since he had just turned seventeen and he just knew he was in the top three to be nominated to go. It was all thanks to the mayor's third son, Tool. The mayor and his wife had six kids, five boys and one girl.
Their oldest son, twenty-three year old Dewey, was a real two-faced son of a bitch. He looked exactly like his father with his black hair, black eyes, straight nose and big lips. He was polite in social circles and everyone adored him, but behind their backs he was a sadistic asshole who liked to pick on people who were poor or part of the LGBTQ community. More than once he had to get into verbal and sometimes physical fights with Dewey since he was bullying Farm who was gay.
Dewey was on his way to becoming a politician, just like his sleazy father. Like his father, Dewey liked to fondle boys above the age of twelve. How did he know this? Because it happened to a boy in the village named August. Knock was thirteen when he was throwing trash out in the dumpster outside his father's grocery store and heard a noise behind on the other side of the building where an alley was. He went to investigate and even though it was dark outside, he could still see the mayor molesting twelve year old August. He screamed and immediately the mayor took off. Knock tried to tell his father, but his father was just as brainwashed as everyone else. They all thought the mayor was an honorable guy, but Knock knew better.
August killed himself a few days after the incident; no one believed him or Knock, so he jumped into his family's pool and drowned. Knock lived a few houses over and thankfully didn't see anything too traumatic, but he did swear that he would never let that happen again.
Twenty-one year old, Lake was the second oldest and no one had seen him since he ran away with his boyfriend when Knock was fourteen. From what he heard from his youngest brother, Lake was tired of his family's homophobic behavior and with them getting away with everything. All Knock knew of him was that he was nothing like his older brother or Jacob.
