《Cross Roads: The Monsters Among Us (Book One)》Chapter 18
Advertisement
An hour later, Cherie and Selena sat around the living room area and went over their findings last night. The primary focus was the video footage that Cherie required from the drone and the jump drive of video footage that Samantha submitted.
Cherie goes over the footage thoroughly as Selena watches along on her laptop. “Okay, so this is what we got. Our camera drones caught the monster going through the entire room for several minutes… Then, the werewolf throws stuff out the window… About five minutes later, the werewolf jumps out the broken window and goes inside the bushes… Afterward, he comes out of the bushes and leaves.”
“That seems about right…” Selena added.
Cherie continues as she plays another video that was from Samantha’s jump drive. “Inside the facility is a different story. From the moment, the werewolf entered the room, it went straight to the computer towers and took them apart one by one. And as you can see here, he removes something out the computer towers...”
“Hard disks,” Selena specified.
“Then, he goes to one of the desks and goes through the cabinets and pulls out a large antistatic bag…” Cherie commentated.
“Smart and considerate,” Selena heckles.
“Then, the monster goes to one of the smaller refrigerators, picks it up and throws it out the window. Not before putting the hard disks inside of it. Afterward, it destroyed the place,” Cherie concluded.
“Making it look like it was another case of random destruction by a monster,” Selena pieced together. “This was a robbery.”
“Ayeka was right on the money after all. Smart on her part…” Cherie relented.
“Buying into many other misconceptions, there has to be a connection. Try finding all the victims. Start by the very first attack,” Selena said as Cherie typed on her computer.

“I’ll hack into the campus security system and then relay the communication to the Metropolitan police station,” it had only taken her at least a minute to gain access to the police files. Cherie immediately reads over her findings, “it all started around… Around a couple of years ago… They found to be mauled to death by a wild animal. Nobody really thought much of anything back then…”
“Understandable,” Selena said.
Cherie continued reading over the documents, “Many people said it was a pack of wolves, but the bite and claw marks matched none wolf and any wildlife databases.”
“Already, they knew they were dealing with a monster. It was out of denial they did nothing about it,” Selena added.
“The mayor even sent the FBI. Meanwhile, the Dean before Dixon sent the wildlife experts,” Cherie reading over the reports, which kind of struck a chord with Selena.
“The FBI? Why would they be interested in supposed animal attacks?”
“They said they classified it. But they should know better…” Cherie took it upon herself to hack into the FBI database to find out the connection between their FBI investigation of the Sycamore University. Her findings of the investigations were rather eye-opening, “interesting… They are investigating a league of drug distribution and drug trafficking. According to the documents, there has been a lot of drugs-related activity among fraternities…”
“And here comes the alphabet soup of degenerates,” Selena insulted. “Any fraternities in particular?”
“Delta Theta Omega, Sigma Kappa Kappa, and Theta Zeta Gamma for the three involved…” Cherie announced. “It says here something connected all three to a drug distribution ring. The drugs were created and distributed on campus. LSD and crystal meth.”
Selena walked around the room for a couple of seconds, thinking things over a little bit more clearly. “Just a hunch, Cherie. All the victims were male, and they were students here at this university. Check and see if they were a part of these fraternities.”

Typing fast on her keyboard, Cherie wasted no time trying to find a connection. Fortunately, Selena’s hunch was right, and Cherie couldn’t be any happier. “18 out of the 19 were a part of these fraternities. Lieut. Omar Ross, who was a security guard, didn’t.”
“Better call everyone here. We found a connection,” Selena confirms.

The Destiny of a Mortal God (Hiatus)
Currently on hiatus, in part because I'm unsatisfied with how the story was starting to develop, and even though I had ideas how to run it, I still made mistakes far too big to correct them. Secondly I'm currently stressed about university, and sincerely, I don't see myself keeping this project. I may or may not retake this project or even start a new one, but one thing's for sure, it isn't happening anytime soon (Meaning until june, aprox, or until I can keep up with class). ... Lyon Ironblood, 19 years old and orphan, is taken by Kronos from the present Earth to another world, where he shall fight and struggle to get stronger so that he shall acomplish the mission Kronos assigned him. He shall fight gods, demons, dragons and monsters and even mortals who surpass those. But to do so he shall receive, though only after he proved himself worthy, a power beyond imagination. This power will not be handed freely to him, and he'll have to work hard to develop it. He shall receive the X-Men System. A magic system designed to enhance Lyon and give him the mutations from the X-Men serie. He shall start from scratch, with powers that will seem less than a mere human, and develop them with effort, to surpass the gods. [I don't claim ownership of any of the X-Men powers or characters, neither the cover, only thing I claim are the ideas which make the story and put together their powers, how they'll develop from scratch to even higher worlds than they were suposed on the series, other than that, all X-Men characters named (which I'll try to avoid to a certain point) are not of my property]

Emancipation - An Isekai Story

Does it make sense to rip a hole within reality into another dimension, to a planet billions of galaxies away, and accurately transport a single person(s)? No, well truth be told, it takes a whole lot to summon anyone so far away, maybe it might take an attempt in summoning of a Dark God, to transport him. Then again they never tell you about what it means to travel between Dark Matter. Or what horrors exist there. Cover by Red Bluebery! I am a new writer, I am trying to find my style of writing.
