《Dark Wolf》Book Two: Chapter 12

Lena clicked her pulse shotgun. "Let me push forward while you guns shoot them down."
John smiled at her, understanding what her plan was with her new weapon. "I like your fresh brain."
Lena giggled. "Eating brains keep my head fresh."
The zombie girl charged and pulled the trigger. She shot a clear crystal energy bubble that slammed into the possessed and exploded as it knocked them back.
When they hit the floor, John blasted them into pieces.
"Let me bloody kill those fuckers!" Copper hovered in front of John and blasted his rifle.
He shot each one that fell to the floor, firing fast.
John lowered his weapons, letting the robot do all the work so his Gatling guns could cool off. If he kept firing, his mechanic arms might melt off his shoulders. That would make him armless and vulnerable.
When they reached the end of the hallway, they left the walls and floor covered in blood and guts. Body parts and organs decorated the hall into a messy gore feast. They left a few bodies whole among the carnage in blood. Still, few corpses remained together.
Damn, and I didn't need to transform. John's guns and Lena's pulse shotgun did a nasty work without letting their hands get bloody. If the demons were smarter, they wouldn't attack without weapons.
Copper tapped on the security panel until the door opened. They entered a circular room with three rows of computer desks, facing a tall glass window. No bodies or blood stained the silver interior. Everything looked nice and clean.
"Nobody is here," said Lena.
"Nobody is stupid enough to stay while demons are killing everyone." Copper pointed at the window. "The main computer is at the front."
"Thanks." John approached the computer desk close to the window.

Through the clean glass window was the vast dark landscape of Planet Hades. No green forest or happy tropical vegetation. Just sharp giant spiky rocks, pointing at the inky sky full of purple swirling clouds. Green lightning flashed beneath the dark horizon, but no thunder echoed. With soundproof glass and the alarm ringing, nothing can be heard from the outside.
With a desolated environment with no food and water, Hades became the perfect place to keep all the prisoners in check. If anyone tried to escape, the cold harsh desert would starve them to death, or the hidden alien creatures will eat them alive. Only returning to their solidarity confinement will save their lives.
On the computer, John typed in the names of Kara and Alexis. With luck, their listening instantly said they were at the female jail compound, P-507. But the problem was, the compound was one hundred miles from the male jail compound. Too damn far to go on foot, and the rocky terrain would slow them down.
John sighed. "Fuck."
"Fuck, what?" Lena asked.
"We're too damn far away. Reaching them will take hours on foot."
"Then use the bloody transit," Copper suggested. "It can move anywhere on the monorail tracks in one hour."
"Is there a station here?" John asked.
"Below the compound outside, yes. It should be operational."
"Good, we will take it."
Lena stared at the computer. "Can you find out what happened here?"
John typed on the keyboard, searching for records on the incident. "Nothing. Only logs stating prison riots, mass murder, and people going insane. No clue where the demonic outbreak occurred."
Lena pointed at the monitor. "What is that flashy red bar?"
John clicked on it, and then a large warning message expanded.
"Ah, shit!" Copper shouted. "The bloody nuclear power plant is in critical mass!"
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Of course it's a bloody bad thing? If the power plant goes into a meltdown, we're all fucked! Fucked! Fucked! Fucked!"
John rubbed his forehead. "This crazy-ass bullshit keeps getting better and better."

The Portals of Albion
Portals to other worlds. Siblings with a secret. A world in need of magic. Zach is haunted, scarred by his time spent in a place that might as well have been hell. Zara, his sister, even more so. After years of torturous experiments, they were finally rescued. But the years since then haven’t been easy. Both siblings just want a break, something to take their minds from the past. The portals that appeared all over the world a hundred years ago are the key. The reason behind years of captivity now holds the answer to their problems. For the second time in his life, Zack awakens as a ‘Traveler’. Someone possessing the ability to pass through these portals and venture into the mystic realms. What begins as a fresh start soon attracts the attention of nobles and those with less savory intentions. When you have known nothing but distrust for those in power, what would you do to remain in control of your life? I will be uploading new chapters on Tuesday and Saturday each week at 4pm Mountain Standard Time. (The story has been described as X-men meets Narnia. Which while not entirely accurate, is still a fun way of looking at it.) (Note: As with my other stories, this one focuses more on the characters than on constant action. The Lite-LitRPG and Gamelit elements are introduced into the story gradually.) Author's Note: This is my raw, mostly unedited text. I am using RR to test out this story as I'm writing it to get a feel for how the published and edited copy will be received. Certain sections of the story will be changed or added to when I publish it as well.

"You know, it won't physically hurt you to be nice for once." I crossed my arms in front of my chest and groaned. "I don't want to take a chance." the corner of his lips lifted a little as he finished his sentence. "Well, you don't hear me complaining. The view of a someone so desperately working out is not a delight either." I retorted in a weary voice. "I bet it isn't." he narrowed his eyes at me and commented. Ugh.. Why is he so damn annoying? "You know what, just take your arrogant ass out of my room." I scowled at him, pointing towards the door. With small steps, he walked towards me. I took a step backwards when he neared me. He was invading my personal space, making me a bit flustered. The urge to push back his golden-brown hair covering his forehead was increasing with every passing second. "Gladly." he mumbled against my face and then walked past me out of my room. It took me a minute to calm down my racing heartbeat. ... He was a mystery, an enigma I wanted to solve. He was exhausting, he was infuriating, yet staying away from him was not an option. He was making me feel things I haven't felt before. Adam McArdle! Who are you and what are you doing to my poor little heart?...#1 in GENERAL FICTION (23-05-2019)#1 in CHICKLIT (21-07-2019)
