《I'm a fox?》Chapter 24

I opened my eyes and stretched. I noticed Adam wasn't in bed but I could hear him in the shower.
I went to my wardrobe and pulled out some blue jeans and a grey knitted jumper. I dragged a comb through my hair and threw it into a high ponytail out of the way.
At that point Adam appeared for the bathroom. A towel wrapped loosely around his waist and beads of water running down his abs.
He noticed me watching him and wiggled his eyebrows with a cheeky grin on his face.
I laughed and shook my head as I walked past him to the bathroom.
By the time I was done, Adam was dressed and waiting for me.
Come on, we're going out for breakfast. I grinned and took his hand, following him to his car.
We sat in the empty diner with a pile of pancakes in between us. It was so nice to not have anything to worry about.
He picked up pancake on his fork and brought it to my mouth.
I raised an eyebrow at him.
"I can feed myself you know"
His smile turned into a pout. "I know, but I want to"
I laughed at him and obliged, opening my mouth. He moved the food towards me and just as I was about to close my mouth, he whipped it away and ate it himself.
"Hey!" I glared at him.
He just shrugged his shoulders. "I thought you could feed yourself"
I shook my head laughing and grabbed another fork.
We got back to the pack after breakfast and I could see how happy everyone was. Now this war was over, no one was stressed. Everyone was continuing with their lives.
I grinned as Adam took my hand and led me back to the house. For the first time in a long time, I felt truly happy.

Liam and Lulu walked into the house laughing. I smiled at them as they came to join us on the sofa.
Liam started talking to Adam about pack stuff while Lulu grabbed the remote and started flicking through the channels.
I listened to Liam fill Adam in about their border watch.
"That's great" Adam replied. "We will keep the borders tight for a while, just in case we missed anything"
Liam lower his voice as if we could hear "we still haven't found Roberts body, we don't know where he..."
"What's on Lulu?" Adam interrupted him.
I frowned. Adam was noticeably stiff and uneasy.
"It's ok Adam, he can't hurt us anymore" I said as I stood up.
I took one step towards Adam when the room started to spin. I practically ran to the bathroom and puked my guts up into the toilet.
Adam ran into the room right behind my just in time to see me hurl again.
He sat down behind and gathered my hair out of my face and rubbed my back.
I continued to hang over the toilet for half an hour, every few minutes emptying my stomach.
"Charlotte I think we should go to the doctor" Adams suggested
I shook my head. I didn't feel like going anywhere.
I got up and wobbled to the bedroom and collapsed onto the bed.
"Charlotte.." Adam whined, clearly concerned.
"I'm fine" I managed to whisper.
He sat next to me and reached for my hand. When he touched it he gasped.
"Charlotte your boiling." He pressed his hand to my forehead and his frown grew.
He picked me up and started to carry me to the doctor. I didn't even protest. I was to weak.

Apex Predator
Earth is a fairly small place, but it's all Bath has. It's the only home he's ever known for all of his 500-or-so-million years of life. One day, Bath realized his treasured Earth was being drawn into the next mass extinction ahead of schedule. So, fascinated by the humans and their quick rise to power (after all, setting off a mass extinction is a pretty sizable achievement), what's a nearly all-powerful, somewhat bored, morally ambiguous, savagely violent, shapeshifting alien entity to do other than assume the form of a human and do some front-line investigating? Little did Bath know he would soon stumble upon a mysterious human organization with a gate leading to planets eons away. And that's just the beginning... A story with aliens, intergalactic space travel, mind powers, and an abundance of adventure! Author's note: ON HIATUS! Hello and thank you for reading! Constructive criticism and grammar-policing are both appreciated. Parts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 are complete at 1271 pages! Part 7 is in progress! If you've ever read any other web serials, you might've noticed that authors get better with time (that is, their art or writing improves). Wutosama of Metaworld Chronicles noted that the first 20 chaps are always a mess. This is also the case with Apex Predator. The first two parts (ranging just under 30 chapters, or 161 pages) are absolutely subpar. While I have edited them as of 7-10-18, they require a rewrite, which is currently in the works but not complete. For a sample that gives insight into what the latter ~80% of the story's writing style is like, check out chapter 56. Vote for Apex Predator on Top Web Fiction! The Apex Predator Discord is here. Cover: original work done by me, the author, caerulex.

This is a quick and dirty fiction. Editing is a crutch. Steven woke up naked under a bush and things just get worse from there. Updates 5 days a week until I can't anymore.
8 121The Untitled
It isn't often we mention names. The greatest royalty, the most-skilled hunters, and often even the people we know best in the world, we know them all by their titles. Names are private, personal, sacred. This you must understand before you hear the story of The Untitled. Because to hear their story is to hear their names; the names of Legends. ---------------------------------- Based on the Monster Hunter series by Capcom. Part 2 coming to a webpage near you... soon-ish. Question mark.

You are a mage leading a team of B-Ranked adventurers. Every B-Ranked Adventurer Party is given a test to determine whether or not they're worthy of being graded A-Rank. The Guild Master issues you the test. In Riverdale Village, there is a great fiend attempting to resurrect a powerful demon... You must investigate the town, find the villain and his conspirators and thwart their plot! How will you do so? Will you work with the town, who may or may not be conspirators, or go at it with your team alone? Use your judgement and logic to determine the best path to proceed and deliver justice upon the villains! (This is a choose-your-own adventurer theme fiction. I've browsed the site fairly well... But have yet to encounter this genre. If you do know of one here, do tell me. That aside, this novel is still incomplete... This is just to show that I'm not dead yet, nor have I given up.)
