The figure landed heavily before us and we sat drenched in silence. He cocked his head and slid both hands in his pockets before proceeding to stare us down with a lofty smile. Alex’s elevated blood pressure stood evident by the protruding veins that took up residence in his forward. He glanced at me from the left in an attempt to feed off my reactions.
I squinted in annoyance, sighed, and then relaxed back in my chair.
“So, how long have you guys been onto me?” Voicing my words in a lucid tone, I smiled knowingly.
“Hmm, let’s see.” He smiled. “We have had our suspicions since the moment you walked in here?”
My brows arched with confusion as I looked up at his for further clarification.
He rolled his eyes in a girlish manner then exclaimed “Shower rescue…”
“I see.” I chuckled.
The burden of our discovery filled my lungs like poisonous smog slowing turning them green. There’s no way out of this toxic mess of a plan. The plan’s been compromised several times over and there’s only ever one way out… improvise!
“Cut to the chase. What do you want?”
“You know what we want!” Raymond smirked.
What followed was another round of dead silence. I pulled my water closer then scratched the container with my thumb before placing it on my lips and taking a sip. Alex was quieter than still waters. His heavy breathing was by far more vulgar than any other sound that presided over our little stand-off.
It was time to make a decision, but even before parting my lips to speak, it was evident that there was only one choice available.
“Under one condition…”
PRESENT TIME
The air was lifeless, frailer than a barren wasteland. For about a minute we studied each other’s physical appearance to judge strength, looked for any special markings that might be a clue to one’s identity and were wary of any slight movements of a potential threat.

The twins turned to each other in silence to secretly communicate, then quickly swung their heads back around to me. And with a tone of demand, Jason spoke to me looking utterly un-amused.
“Who the hell are you?”
He dropped his right arm from its prior folder position.
“Hey, I asked you a question!” His voice rose with a greater stint of anger.
They’re going to attack!
He’s a running a distraction while Todd’s studying me, clearly looking for a window of opportunity or a blind spot. I need a plan of defense. In about 30 seconds, I might be in for a world of pain.
This dude punch through a fricking wall!
“The name’s Nick.” I firmly stated.
My response took them by surprise as they were clearly not expecting me to actually say anything.
“You mind telling us what the hell you’re doing here?” Jason continued. “You clearly ain’t a Prison worker.”
“Well, “I chuckled, “And you’re clearly not guards.”
*Whoosh*
*Cling*
And just as suspected, he came at me! Swinging for my neck from the left with his right arm, he almost had me. I anticipated his attack and reached for the scanner that was at a 40 degrees angle from my left. It managed to block the hit from making an impact but it still knocked me a few inches back.
“Listen, Nick, is it?” Jason haughtily stepped forward.
“Let’s not play games here. You’re clearly a spy sent to foil our plans. You obviously know who we are or what we’re here to do.”
In the most terrifyingly calm disposition ever, he began to remove the skin from his arm to unveil its true metallic structure.
“So why don’t you make this easier on yourself.” Todd joined, “We need to take this pod and get the hell out of here before this place blows.”

So, I was right! There is a bomb!
“Now, you’re going to be dead either way. So you can either let us walk out of here or wait a day or so to meet your maker, your choice.”
My body stiffened and the muscles in my face tightened. I knew my odds were slim but I refused to back down. Now more than ever, I need answers. And if this pod is the only way to escape the prison, I’m sure as hell not going to let them have it.
“Like I said, I cannot let you do that.”

Harry Potter: New World
It is enough just to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whether a series of accidents, or a coincidence, but now I have to be reborn in a completely different world.

There's a reason people made the word improbable. Just because something would never happen based on common sense or reason, doesn't mean it can't happen. For example, a soul maintaining their memories through the River of the afterlife, a stream of ethereal energies that remove and store memories from the recently departed only to return when they die again. Another example, a soul by it's sheer will maintaining awareness during the process of a new body's development; nearly infintesimile chances of happening, but there is still a chance. Hi, you can call me Esseu (S U) and I managed to do both of those nearly impossible things back to back. My reward for such a feat? I was turned into a glorified bee keeper.

8 132Nights of Sambria: And the Wish of Light
“I discovered a secret. One I desperately wish could have stayed hidden. It was locked away, concealed in a fantastical world on the doorstep of 7 billion people who stayed utterly oblivious to it. If they will be spared the terror that is coming, I can’t begin to imagine. Know that a forgotten heritage of a dwindling people whispered, unknowingly sending a call to the ancient mysteries of the world. Something listened. And now events are set in motion that could force the earth on a course of terrible change. I am being hunted and have run out of time. There were no stories about it. No legends. Not even scribbles. Yet, the threat of it is real and that’s why I’m writing this warning with shaking hands. So pay attention those who read this, be careful of what lies waiting cloaked in the darkness. That which made their home the lost places of this world.” She folded the letter with a shuddering breath and stared back in the direction from where the noise reverberated through the halls. It was of stone doors shattering one by one. The chances of getting out safely were all but gone. The letter in her hand was all warning they would have. It dropped into one of the Wells and all that could be done now was hope it was found in time, if at all. -- This was my very first large story. ;) I started writing it years ago. Was fun, was difficult, but in the end, it is a story I hope that will inspire. The prologue is in first person perspective and the rest of the story in 3d. Just a little heads-up :P It is a fantasy epic with a contemporary twist for the start. The first arc of the novel is set inside our modern world, but as the mysterious events around Calin intensifies, the hidden secrets in the world start to become more fantastical. The story follows Calin, a young orphan in search of answers. But, the answers he seeks will change his life and that of his friends forever, for the secrets that caused his situation have far greater ramifications than the small village of Lamb's Crest could have known. Remember to leave ratings and reviews. I'm quite interested in hearing your thoughts on the story. ;) Enjoy reading, Omri Hope

It will implied mpreg on small group of people in my story. It does not effect or drive the story. As the story continues there would be information through a character, but it would be short lived. Also there are many LGBTQ characters. If you don’t wish to see this then don’t read the story. Thank for understanding. The Casle art belongs to Tabor on Pixabay.
