《Sway(Wattys 2015)》Berries and leafs

"Hello , my name is Rogue, I'm very grateful that you're letting me stay here ,if there's anything you need me to help you with I'm more than willing to help" I introduce myself before giving her a huge smile.
"Thank you, but right now I think you should all get some rest, there's two spare bedrooms upstairs everything you need is up there , and the library's available there's a couch In there if one of you would like to sleep in there.Help yourself to anything in the kitchen, I'm off to bed now , is there anything you want"
"No thank you Rosalie" Ivan said.She left the room and closed the door behind her.
"So who's sleeping where?" Nicole asks
"There's two rooms upstairs" Colt adds
"Me and Nicole in one room and then you two boys in the other" I suggest
"You want two grown men to sleep in the same bed in the same room" Said Colt,both Ivan and Colt shared an awkward moment.
"Then what do we do?"
"Me and Nicole in one room and you two in the other " Stated Colt
"That's not fair " I stamp my feet on the floor like a little baby.
"Sorry love" apologised Colt , he took their bags upstairs and left me and Ivan downstairs on our own.
"You can have the bedroom" I grabbed my stuff and pulled it towards the library, it was the furthest room in the house. It must of been one of those magical room because the room was huge, it looked bigger then the house.Hundreds of books covered every single wall, there was a huge couch in the middle of the room.
I shut the door, I couldn't be asked to get changed so instead I kept on what I was wearing. Using one if the blankets I laid on the couch and wrapped myself in the blanket.The comfort of the couch made it hard for me to stay awake I found myself loosing the battle and eventually I fell asleep.
I woke up to the sound of clattering outside the door.I got up and decided to go and see where all the noise was coming from, outside of the door stood Rosalie with a straw basket in her hand.

"Sorry if I woke you up ,but I need to collect some berries and leafs from the forest and I wondering if you would like to join me?" She politely asked
"Why me?"
"I think you would be better company, you don't have to if you don't want to, it was just a suggestion"
"I would love to actually but is it alright if I get changed first it will only take a minute?"
"Of course I'll be outside make sure you wear something warm" I nod my head and close the door.
It only took me a couple of minutes to get ready.I left the room as I found it yesterday ,making sure I folded all the blankets up and put them nearly to the side. Rosalie was stood by the door wrapped up warm in her old fashioned coat.
"Let's go then shall we"
"What about the others? Shouldn't we tell them were leaving?"
"Don't worry ,I've left them a note on the counter" I nodded my head and proceeded to follow behind her as we left the cottage. She walked through the Forrest assessing the different plants and leaves that grew. I hadn't noticed her hair was ginger until she released it from her hat , it was shoulder length and wavy.It went perfectly with her amber eyes and pale skin.
"So what do you need?"
"I'm looking for some ingredients to make a potion that will cure your vampire friend" Friend! I don't think so, friends don't want to drink your blood and normally tend to be your age not 300 years older!
We walked in silence through the jungle of plants , every once in a while she would pick something up and put it into the basket.I had so many questions I wanted to ask her ,it made my head hurt but I decided against it unaware of how she would respond.
"Are you alright?, you look like your brains going to explode" Rosalie joked
"I was just thinking" I responded
"Don't be afraid to ask me something , I'd rather you asked me, instead of wondering around investigating and looking for answers, it's not a bother"
"I don't know where to start"

"We have plenty of time this place goes on for miles and there's no rush"
"So you're a witch right?....so what can you do?" I asked
"I don't have broomstick or a magical wand, I'm a witch not a cartoon character.My magic is earned just like every other supernatural or mythical being, i use spell books and potions"
"So you can't change people in to frogs and stuff"
"I didn't say that, I probably could if I wanted to" she replied with a kind smile.
"How do you know Ivan and Colt?"
"Ivan yes, Colt not so much.When I was a younger, Ivan and his father came to my home with Chris, my mother always told me never to trust vampires but I was to scared to say no to them, they insisted I help them, I made them a potion that would cure the bite from a werewolf....the alpha to be precise. It worked, the after that they would always come to me for help."
"Is that it?" I wasn't convinced she was telling me the truth , Miss Jones had mentioned that Ivan's parents took him to a witch.
"Yes"
"Why?"
"Miss jones told me about his powers"
"I'm not supposed to talk about this, but if you already know ,i might is well tell you the truth. Ivan is very different from the rest of the vampires,he has a way of manipulating people , when he knocked on my door yesterday I was in complete shock .That's not the real Ivan, he was rude ,sarcastic and arrogant-
"But he's always like that" I interrupt
"That's not how I remembered him , he was heartless and cold, hurting people was a game to him, the satisfaction he got from destroying and taking life's made my skin crawl. I was about 20, i was learning my knew spells. I was walking through the village and Ivan was there with his parents, he had tried to drink some girls blood but her parents wouldn't allow it so they fought back, the whole village trapped him in a barn, tied him up beat him ,stabbed him then burnt it to the ground. About a week later the village had a huge fair there were hundreds of people there, children with their grandparents, families of all sizes. They were about to announce the contest winner, when Ivan walked on the stage , everyone stood in shock they couldn't believe it. He tapped the mic then said 'boo" , It happened so quick he devoured the whole village, he drank them dry. I'll never forget the fear on their faces, he left the children to see what he had done ,tiny children screaming and calling out for there parents, boys your age were trying to defend there mothers and sisters to only have there hearts torn out. The girl who he tried to drink from returned to see the devastation, he beat them like they beat him , he tied them up in a room with all the children, he waited until they were Almost dead before he made them beg for him to kill them , but he didn't that would be to easy instead he turned them into vampires , he waited until they were dying of thirst and when they couldn't take it anymore he let them loose it took them seconds to kill all them children. His mother and father had never seen anything like that, they came to my mother to ask she do something about it, he was to strong but she couldn't stop him from getting his powers instead she made a spell that he would gain his full power when he found his mate. I hope that day never comes, there will be nothing to stop him"
Horror was plastered on her face as she recalled the events she had witnessed.
"I don't understand, I've never seen him or any of the vampires act like that?"
"He doesn't need to his reputation and history is all he needs to keep the fear in everyone continue, besides everyone is trying to keep their heads down, the first born and elders are returning soon and a war is not what we need."
"Elders, first borns....what are they?"
"First vampires,werwolves,witches. They make sure the peace is kept between the beings and make sure the humans are safe"

Artisan
Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon. The offending novel is The Artisan by Jon Moremont - obviously a GoT fan who didn't even read the blurb properly and put a wizard on the cover. Just wanted to let everyone know that this book has nothing to do with me, and has no new content. Thanks, and sorry again - LF Superhero Litrpg Skills, level-ups, powers, crafting, and base-building. Releasing a chaplet daily, ~1,200 words. It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high. In the era of the quantum computer, autonomous systems have taken over as the backbone of the workforce. Justin, 20 years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back, and since his government stipend will cover the expense, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new game: A Time of Heroes. Justin has never been that into multiplayer games, but for a full-immersion virtual reality where he can play a Superhero, Justin is definitely in. 'Superheroes and Villains are on the rise in an alternate America of 2020. Forces of good and evil must band together to control the future'. Justin plays Artisan, an alien AI trapped on Earth.Inventor, hacker, and gadgeteer to a team of heroes. Hope you enjoy. Please feel free to leave reviews and comments.
8 202Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)
8 92Death Incarnate (Completed)
Kei was a menace or called by most, a demon. He gets into bloody fights with others. Which makes him a problem to the common folk and criminals alike. But he can't win forever. So, his life came to a close with another merciless brawl. With Kei trying to take as much of them to hell and in his final moments, he never regretted his decisions in this mad world filled with cruelty. If the world is cruel to you then be more crueler back. Then he received a second chance in a sword & magic world but with a condition from the Goddess of Death. To save the Demon race. Note: Don't expect a good story, it's just smut trash as my first published fiction. Updates are infrequent and may or may not revise these chapters.

// NOT ON HIATUS, just no time right now to write more... Sadly... //His mother killed in prostitution and by drugs, his father stabbed to death in a robbery by ordinary street thugs, he himself lived on the streets at the age of 18, surviving instead of living.A heroic drive, however, snatched him out of this miserable life, and he thought it was finally over, until he learned from an odd character that this was not his first "unlucky" life in succession, and that he would be eligible for a special program for his reincarnation.Without much to lose, and not much that could go worse in the next life, he landed in a new world... As a mole. His oh so great ability, which he had been promised?Absorption of biological and magical properties of EVERYTHING he devoured! And so began his journey as a mole! Emotions? Missing brain strands to feel anything of that nature. Joy? All the more! Finally eating, no matter what... Starving is no more! The progenitor of devouring was let loose on the world, and who knows where his journey will lead him... This story will appear irregularly, and first of all on Patreon. I'm mainly writing the story "Healing Dungeon" myself, and every now and then another chapter of Devouring to clear my head ;)
