《Madam Mafia》-What?

Rose pov
The sound of him high-fiving/catching my hand resonates through the building.
Ryder looks at me with warning in his eyes.
He interlocks his fingers with mine, then pulls me close.
"I said, don't do anything stupid, I'm their King, if they see me get hit, threaten, or hurt, they come after the person responsible, no matter who they are." He whispers harshly in my ear.
I shudder.
Me against a gang this large?
I don't think I'd make it.
But it doesn't matter, does it? Cause it's all over now.
They probably already know I'm here.
Damn.
I fling Ryder's hand off of mine.
"You don't know what you just did to me." I snarl in his ear.
Ryder eyes fill with confusion as I back away from him.
He looks at me slowly, his gaze lingering on my eyes, then turns to his gang to begin their meeting.
What do I do? What do I do?
I sit on the balcony, pull my knees to my chest, and put my hands in my hair.
Breathe.
All these years of wearing stupid glasses, and a dumb ponytail to conceal myself, and within seconds I'm exposed.
Where did my glasses go?
And my hair tie?
I never really thought about it until now.
And look at what happened.
Gosh why'd I want to face my demons, anyway?
Ryder pov
Wrapping up the meeting, I turn to Rose.
What was she talking about before?
Is she in danger?
The thought makes my fist twitch and my mood turn sour.
"What's going on, Rose?" I ask, walking over to her, crouching down next to her.
"None of your damn business." She says, glaring up at me.
I feel my mood turn even more sour.
"Rose I know I've been nice to you, and maybe that's why you think you can talk to me like this, but let me get one thing clear, if you're in danger in any way, it's my business, and I won't have you disrespecting me in front of my gang."

She scoffs and gets up.
I follow her lead.
"Just...fuck off, ok Ryder, I don't have time for you right now."She says, leaving the balcony going back to the car.
I jog to her and grab her right upper arm.
"Rose, tell me what's going on!" I shout.
"Ryder, MY DAD IS FUCKING EVIL! He has his own little 'mafia' that I had to grow up with." She screams.
Her outburst has me taking a step back.
"And I ran away from him, a couple years ago, but now after you brought all that attention to me, in front of your gang, I'm sure he's going to find me. He has spies everywhere." She breathes heavily with panic in her eyes.
"I can help you, my gang can-" She cuts me off.
"I said mafia, Ryder. Your gang might be powerful around the world, but my father's men are trained killers, not hesitant to destroy anything in their way. Including you."
I see the panic in her eyes turn to desperation.
"I don't want to go back. The things he did to me, the things he did to my mother, I'll never forget the terror in her eyes whenever she saw him. He's a monster."
She grabs on to my shirt and puts her forehead on my chest.
"Don't let him take me Ryder." She says weakly.
A girl who's been nothing but strong since the day we met, now has her head on my chest and is asking me to protect her.
I wrap my arms around her.
"He won't even come close to you, ok Rose."
She tightens her grip on my shirt.
I won't let him take away what's mine, never.
Over my dead body.

8 223The Ultimate Supporter
Mona stood there, her body has stopped shaking as she stared at Sarah with no expression. “... do I have to set a goal?” Mona asked quietly. “Yes, if you do not then you will not be allowed to play Road Builder.” “...why? Why do we have to set a goal?” “This game is about inspiring people to work hard towards something that they wish to achieve. Don’t you have something you wish to achieve too ma’am?” “... I… do.” “What is your goal then ma’am?” “My goal… my goal is to become the ultimate supporter.” Feelings rushed back into Mona’s eyes as she clenched both her fists hard. “I want to help others succeed. I don’t need to be the main character. I want other people to be the main character.” Mona yelled as tears began to stream down her face. “I just… I just want to feel needed again.” Mona sniffled. Sarah looked at her with a soft expression on her face. “Is ‘I want to become the ultimate supporter’ your final choice?” Sarah asked. Mona bit on her lip as tears continued to stream down her face. She slowly nodded her head. “Alright then… this goal has been registered onto your avatar. You will soon spawn into a town and began your journey.” Sarah smiled, her eyes illuminating warmth to Mona. Mona nodded her head understanding as she wiped away the tears. A blue circle appeared around her as numbers counting down from ten appeared in front of her. 10… 9… 8… “By the way ma’am.” Sarah said. 7… 6… “Yes?” 5… 4… “I am sure you will achieve that goal, and to guarantee that, I give you my blessings.” 3… “What?” 2… “Enjoy your time in Road Builder.” 1… ********* Please point out if you notice any mistakes so that I can fix it. Also, because I re-edit this a lot so the chapters are going to come out very slowly(and because the blue tables take a while to do). Any comments and reviews are welcomed and are appreciated! Thanks for reading!
8 154Black Boar Band
Devin Tenfingers just wanted to make enough money to live comfortably. That isn't so much to ask, is it? In a new land, across the sea from the Old World, the town of Mossglenn Depot is the only civilization in an untamed wilderness. Funded by private enterprise, Guilds and Contracts are the way of law. Devin created the Black Boar Band, his very own guild, to get moderately rich and make enough of a name for himself that people might pause on the streets when they see him. Unfortunately, many others had the exact same idea. During a disastrous Contract, Devin and his ragtag band of people find themselves embroiled in a conspiracy involving his hated rival, Bronn of Bronn's Buyable Blades. As they dig deeper into this conspiracy, they soon discover there is more to this land than anyone previously thought, or imagined. And perhaps they are not the first to inhabit it.
