The Numbers That Brought Our Fates Together Chapter 16: I'm Not Sure I Can Resist.
David watched Elena go down the stairs and turn right onto the dance floor.
"What the hell did she go there for?"
He continued to follow the familiar silhouette until a man held her up.
"I'll be back shortly." David jumped up and followed the girl. Next to the staircase, he saw Melinda shooting a dance floor on camera with a phone in her hand. "Still having fun, Miss Matthews?" He said maliciously, and went on.
His eyes were fastened on Elena. He saw how some unknown man began to openly grope her, and she eagerly clung to him in response. David had nothing but a boiling rage inside him. The girl took a step back and began to raise her dress. David's eyes burned with fire, foretelling that someone would definitely be killed now. He thought so until she made her next move.
. . .
"Hmm, I think that's enough." Elena nicely winked at the guy, made the next move and it darkened in his eyes.
The girl's left elbow slammed into his lower jaw with an unexpected speed, and hundreds of bells rang in his ears. Using her right hand, she punched him in the stomach with all her strength, which is why the man immediately doubled over. At that moment, she grabbed his head with both hands, and bluntly hit his nose on her knee. The young man did not have time to figure out how his body was already lying on the floor.
"Oh, you bitch!" He just raised his head, trying to get up, as he was immediately crushed back by a man's foot.
"If you try to get up again, I will make sure that you have not only your nose broken." David hissed to the guy lying under his foot. "And you, come here," the young man grabbed the girl by the hand and dragged her towards the emergency exit.

At this time at the table.
"Corey, I did not understand what you meant when you spoke about Elena the last time. If you don't have to worry about her, then who do we need to worry about?" Rick looked at the girl wonderingly.
"The matter is that Elena got a black belt in karate already at the age of 10. Therefore, I wildly sympathize with the idiot who decides to get on her way. He will be very lucky if he gets off with just a broken nose", Corey snickered maliciously.
"Aww, now it clearly makes sense."
. . .
The emergency exit door slammed, and Elena and David found themselves in a dimly lit corridor where there was no one.
"What are you doing? Lost your mind? What if he hit you back?" David began to scold the girl, still being shocked by her recent actions.
"David…"
"David what? I'm certainly glad that our communication is taking a next level, but please never do that again."
The girl stood leaning slightly against the wall and seemed to be breathing heavily.
"Elena? Are you okay? You look kind of weird." The man touched her shoulder lightly. Elena turned to him, and David couldn't even breathe. The girl was looking at him with a very languishing look, full of temptation.
She took a step towards him and leaned her body against him. She seemed to be in some kind of trance.
"Elena, this is dangerous. I'm not sure I can resist. Let's go back."
"David, I'm soooo hot … Unzip here..", she looked up and stared at him imploringly. Then she took his hand and pulled it towards her back. "Here … unzip my dress …"
David almost did not understand what she said. The man's breathing was getting harder. He was looking at the girl unstoppably.

Elena raised her hand and slowly pulled out the hairpin holding her hair. Her hair swept down on her shoulders in waves. The girl ran her second hand into her hair and began to gently massage her head, before throwing it back.
"Mmmmm … yeah … that's so much better," she whispered.
Bam!!!
It got darkened in David's eyes. The mind went out and the wild desire to possess this woman here and now took over. Driven by instincts, he pressed her against the wall…

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/
