《Madam Mafia》-Goodbye

Rose
One of his goons scurry up to me with a phone and I try to hide the shaking as I reach out for it.
I have to do this. I can't let them die for me...
I shouldn't have ever put my trust in so many people. I felt bad for Caleb and included him, but I feel stupid now. What if it was all a trick? Even his tears from just now... My father makes it seem like it was all a ploy to get me here.
My father or Caleb. Who can I trust?
I feel myself sway as I clench the device in my hand.
Ryder, you're the only one I can pour my heart out to, and I'm forced to let you go. I'll be all alone, again.
I have no code to talk to you in or any way to contact you in secret. After this phone call, we'll be done. You, hopefully, won't come for me, and I can't wait for you. For the sake of those who trust and look up to me, I have to sacrifice.
I just wish it wasn't you I had to give up.
They know about the attack now so they'll be ready for them. I won't let anyone get hurt because of me, especially not you, Ryder. So I'll let you go.
Just knowing you're alive and safe will be enough for me. I shouldnt have been so selfish in the first place. Love, freedom, power, I would've got all of this and more at Ryder's side.
It's okay if I lose all this at the expense of many lives. Even if I'm a prisoner here, knowing I let others survive, I'll be happy.
"How long are you going to stand there? Call!" One of the goons shout at me.

I squeeze my eyes shut and take a breath. Opening them, I take a good look around the place I'll lose everything I ever wanted, or had.
The sun shines high in the sky, as the brick mansion cast a shadow on us. The wind gently passes through, as if welcoming the sorrow in my heart. The black road sits hot on the ground, refusing to move, never stirring, like my love for Ryder.
I see the faces of those surrounding surrounding me. Some pitiful, others impatient, and some just stare.
I turn on the phone and finally dial his number.
Tears fill my eyes and I swallow to keep the sobs from escaping.
This all happened so fast, and here I am. Here goes everything.
"Hello?" The voice saves me, like a thirsty man in the desert having his desperate sip of water.
"Ryder?" I choke out.
A pause assumes and I hold back tye words at the base of my throat.
"R-Rose... Rose?" His voice cracks.
"Ryder, you shouldn't come here with the guys. I don't need you." First lie.
"What-Why did they find out?" He panics.
"No, no, I just want to stay here now, with Caleb and my family." I bite my lip so hard, it bleeds. I'm hurting him more though.
"What...do you mean?"
Fuck, this is so hard. Fuck.
"I guess you found my notes, I wish you didn't. I'm saying, you don't have to save me because I'm perfectly fine. I've found my p-place here." I feel a tear drop fall down my cheek but I can't care less about the onlooking eyes.
"Rose, I don't understand."
"I'm breaking up with you. Caleb's been really sweet to me and he respects me. My dad wants us to get married and I said yes. My mom cares about me here and my dad cleaned up his act, he actually loves my mom and I. I don't need to go back with you so I'm not. So don't come." The tears flow freely at this point.

"Married? Breaking up with me? You're already my queen, Rose. You agreed, I won't let you take it back. Something's wrong, tell me. Are they threatening you? Are you saving everyone but yourself again? Rose, talk to me!-"
"It's not like that! I said I'm happy here and you don't have to come save me or whatever. If you come, I don't know if I can say I won't be the one behind the bullet that kills you. So stay away." Like I could ever actually kill him. I'd have to die first or right after, but this is all I can do for him in the end.
"Bullshit. You're crying." His voice shakes.
"I just feel bad for you. You don't know when to let go. It's now, Ryder."
"Bullshit! Rose, I know you!"
"You don't know shit! Ryder, seriously, fuck off." I try to steady my words.
"No, I'm coming. If you kill me, make sure I die in your arms. I'll believe you once I die. I love you and ...you love me."
A sob slips through and I feel my legs give out. Falling on my knees, I feel my heart break.
"Please, don't come Ryder. Please."
"What's going on, Rose? Please, tell me." He whispers.
"I already did."
"I'm not letting you go."
"You have to."
"I won't."
"Ryder, I don't want this to end like this, let's make a clean cut, ok? Just don't get involved with me. I'm none of your business anymore."
He scoffs.
"Anything that has to do with you is my business. I don't why you're doing this but don't worry, I'll-"
"I'm hanging up. You're clingy. As fuck." You have to let me go. I'm dangerous.
"Wait! Wait, please just let me hear your voice a little bit more."
"Goodbye Ryder."
"Ros-!" With that I hang up and simply let myself fall on to the ground.
It's over.

Our Chaoz; Our Reality (Completed)
Everyone has their own reasons, be it past events, personality or simply company. But most at some point divulge themselves into videogaming, be it for entertainment or more compettitive reasons. In this year and age there are many genres of gaming, one specific genre though still holds on tight to the ledge it was pushed to trying to pull itself back up. MMORPGs were once the top of everybody's list, adventure, combat, storytelling and endless grind in one single game. It was a different life for most, as if a parallel world to our own. You could be a knight indulging yourself in combat, a mage expertly crafting spells of mass destruction or creation. A ranger exploring the land and hunting down prey, an assassin completing contracts and hording the spoils. A troll scamming children out of their hard earned 10 gold and making more hardcore players rage quit for the day. Or something else. Kyle was a simple player, he always picked the strangest classes or jobs and his characters almost looked the same. He played for the combat, he played for the grind and he played for his guild but above all he played for the story. Kyle is a roleplayer, one who enjoys the simple parts of this virtual life. Whether his guild was starting a war or ending one he'd always have his drammatic entrence or exit, his decleration of annihalition or demand of surrender. After all that? He divulged himself in the game's story, the interaction with NPCS (Non Player Characters) and their advanced AI. He went through many questlines, many tales of heroics and many more adventurers of legend but one thing always remained true with his character. Kyle absolutely loved to the play the villain. But when game turns reality, what will he and his guild of twisted personalities do?
8 80In This New Life, My Own Fantasy Adventure Begins!
A little shut-in girl that for unknown reasons and means got transported into a fantasy world. Barely surviving her first arrival to this new world, she continued to live her life as she intended, only to experience the hardships and cruelty of the world firsthand. With a little effort and friendship along the way… she found more reasons to do more than just live her life. The more she stayed, the more she learned how problematic the world actually was. And to think that's bad enough, adding to that was the existence of a great evil that threatened the land and all its standing Kingdoms. Given the chance to fix those problems by her own hand, she took it. Her motivations for affirming this heavy task was unclear, even to herself. But one thing's for certain– she's gonna be doing a lot until she gets anywhere… do what she normally doesn't, become somebody she normally couldn't, setting off on an important journey with her newfound self worth. A journey for no absolute constructive reason. She might not be aware of it immediately… but that is her Fantasy. ------------------------- Just a few more things to note before you get started. Extra tag: Anime Yes, this is an anime-styled fiction, and it isn't meant to represent real life scenarios in grave detail. If you're familiar with anime and manga, the following mannerisms and tropes wouldn't feel too foreign. But if you feel that that isn't your cup of tea or you can't appreciate it, you can drop the read anytime you'd like.
