《Gone Before Raine (Interracial-Bwwm)》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Raine balled her hands into a fist ready to strike the person who grabbed her arm.
"Calm down, it's me," Daryl snickers letting go of her arm. Raine hits his arm and placed a hand over her heart.
"Daryl, you a**, I almost had a heart attack." Raine takes a moment to compose herself. Daryl walked away from her and made his way around the abandoned camp site.
"What is this?" He asked looking inside of one of the tents. Raine walked over to him, handing him the keys she found.
"I don't know. It looks like the people left everything in a hurry. I even found these keys." She explained. Daryl raises a brow and inspects the car keys.
"Why would a group of campers just leave all their gear?" He questions confused. Raine shrugged her shoulders. She was just as clueless as he was. "You know what, let's just go back to the others, Cherry has a plan for us to do. Besides I'm getting the creeps from being here." Raine had to agree with Daryl on that. He dropped the keys on the ground and led her back to their camp site.
When they got to the camp, Cherry stood there waiting in her bathing suit.
"We're going swimming?" Raine asked coming to stand in front of her. Cherry smiles and nods her head yes.
"I remember my dad telling me about this waterfall a little bit away from this site. It will probably only take us thirty minutes to walk there." The hike didn't sound like it would be too bad.
"Alright, let me go put on my bathing suit." Raine walked to the tent and climbed inside. She zipped up the flaps and went in search of a bathing suit in her bag. She found one and quickly stripped out of her clothes and placed the suit on. When she was done, she slipped into a cover up.

"Raine, are you ready?" Cherry called out to her. Raine came out of the tent.
"Yes." She smiles walking to the group.
"Great, now follow me." Cherry took out a small map and started following the directions on it. On their walk, bugs rested on Raine's skin, biting her flesh.
"Bugs sure do love me." She mumbles as she swatted away a large mosquito.
"That is because you love to drown yourself in those sweet smelling body mists." Daryl tells her as he pulls out some bug spray and sprays a layer over her skin.
True to Cherry's word, it took thirty minutes to get to their destination. Also to the group's surprise, George remained silent the entire time.
"Wow, this place is amazing." Ebony comments, standing on a rock to get a better view of the large waterfall.
"The water is amazing! Come on in!" Cherry shouts jumping into the water. Raine stood at the edge watching as Cherry emerged from under the surface of the water. Her hair had darken due to the water and now clung to her. Daryl took off his shirt and jumped into the water with Cherry. He laughed as he made a big splash, getting both Ebony and Raine wet. Raine smiled and took off the cover up, diving into the water to join her friends. She splashed both Daryl and Cherry before swimming over to them.
"Aren't you two coming in?" Cherry asked George and Ebony. Ebony shook her head no, laying out a towel for her to sit on. George placed his shades over his eyes.
"You already know I don't like to swim." He sits on a rock and pulls out his pack of cigarettes.
"Cigarettes are going to shorten your life span." Raine told him, not that she cared about his health or anything.

George lit up the cancer stick and took in a deep breath. His eyes turning red from the fumes of the cigarette.
"I'll gladly welcome death when it comes." He tells her before leaning his head back against the trees. Raine shook her head and went under water again. She resurfaced when she started to loose oxygen.
After swimming for a bit the trio decided to get out of the water.
"That was nice." Cherry smiles pulling out her towel. Raine did the same, ringing the water out of her hair. Daryl grabbed a bottle of water from the bag they brought with them and took a sip.
"It is peaceful being out here. No parents to tell us what to do. No having to worry about college next year. If I could do this every year, I would," He said laying down on his towel. His hair was still soaked causing little droplets of water to slither down his back.
"I wouldn't mind doing this again either." Cherry agreed. As everyone began to talk, Raine tuned them out. She looked off into the distance watching the sun just start to set.
Once again, like earlier she felt a chill run down her spine. She felt like someone was watching her. She looked up to see if it was someone in the group, but they were all in their own conversations.
"Guys, do you feel like someone is watching us?" She spoke up. Everyone shook their heads.
"No."
Raine knew she wasn't going crazy. She could tell someone was watching them. Raine stood up and walked away from the lake bank. She walked closer to the tree line like she had done back at their camp.
"Hello?" She calls out. Daryl looks to her.
"Raine, love. There is no one out there. You're just being paranoid." Daryl calls to her. Raine shakes her head. She wasn't being paranoid. Someone was watching them, she could feel it.
"Maybe you're right-" Just as she said this she saw someone run in the far distance. "Guys! Someone is out there!" She exclaims. The boys jog over and look over to where she was pointing. By that point the person was already gone.
"Raine, one game at a time. Not everyone has your imagination." Daryl tells her. Raine frowns, she wasn't playing a game. She knows what she saw, someone was out there and they were watching them.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend

THE AUTHOR IS TAKING SOME TIME OFF.NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SMALL HIATUS MENTIONED LATER ON THE DESCRIPTION. WRITING WILL RESUME LATER THIS MONTH (FEBRUARY). Don't you just hate it when you're walking home from school and you accidentally stumble into another dimension? And now you're stuck in there with no way out, thinking of what to do in this medieval kinda world. Well at least it seems safe...It seems that some people have problem with multiple POV (Point of View) characters and so I'm deciding to alter the description to mention, that sometimes in the story we see the world from other people's point of view than our MC's (Main Character). But there is a MC and the point of view changes are few, except for short point after the season 1 ends. These are mostly done to expand the world and introduce plot elements, nothing more.This story is written in manner of seasons, which aren't marked in the chapter titles and don't really affect your reading experience, but between the seasons are small, 2-7 day hiatuses so the writer can rest and plan.Oh, the website released a mature-content tagging rules, so here: Warning, Mature [17+] Violence,gore and occasional swearing. Mainly put it at 17+ so it doesn't restrict me, but story could be considered as 15+, no way 18+ though.
