《Room Mates (NaLu)》Chapter 5 ~ The Incident
Advertisement
"Whoa where the hell are all my panties!" I shouted to myself into the emptiness of the dorm. I had been unpacking all my cases for the past few hours.
"Dammit" I curse aloud. I'm such an idiot.
I stood up in the middle of my room and looked around. Both my now empty suitcases were placed behind my door and my bed now made with fresh bedding. I looked over at a mirror that was on my wall and I tied my hair into a messy, high ponytail, pulling a few strands out at the front, grabbed my key, and headed out.
The elevator ride was long as always. I checked my phone and laughed at some stupid tweet by Levy about a conversation we had at lunch. The time was 17:47 and it was getting dark out so I had to hurry on my trip to the shops. I decided to walk so I could get my grasps on the area instead of taking my car. I made my way out of the building and headed through the car park. The lights turned red for the cars at the crossing and I made my way across quickly, heading towards the shops.
After around an hour or two of shopping and a long walk through the village, I was now re-equip with brand new underwear. Fabulous.
The sky above was dark blue and scattered with bright stars. I spotted out the constellations as I walked to make the time drag less whilst walking past all the, now closed, shops. The buildings in the village were tall and old fashioned, each separate from each other with mini ally ways in between. It really was a beautiful pla-
My thoughts were ripped from my mind as a large hand wrapped around my mouth and pulled me into a dark ally I was passing by. I was smacked against a wall and pinned to it with the hand. My mouth tasted salty from the hand and my nose could smell rotten food from all the trash around me. I struggled, trying to get out of the grasp of my captor. Before me stood a tall, fat man who was bald. he was smiling at me and had many visible missing teeth. He wore a stripy t shirt that was covered in muddy stains and rips. I tried to scream against his hand, which caused him to grab my hair with his other hand and pull. I cried out in pain, tears pouring from my eyes. How did this happen.

The man laughed as he started to grab my t shirt and lift it up with his hands.
"GET OFF ME! LET ME GO YOU CREEP!" I shouted as loud as I could. I tried to ignore the pain from the man pulling my hair and hitting me to get me to shut up.
"Shut it little girl." His voice high pitched and nasaly. My shirt was lifted once again and the hand touched my stomach. I kicked and struggled, trying my hardest to break free but the man was too strong.
"SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!" His hand once again smacked against my mouth to make me quiet. More tears we released from my eyes, pouring like a river. I closed my eyes as tight as I could, trying to disappear. Someone please help me.
Suddenly the mans hand was removed from my mouth and body, I heard groaning sound coming from him and noises that sounded like he was being beat up further away. I opened my eyes and froze in shock from what I saw.

The earliest writer known to history by name was a woman. Her name was Enheduanna, and this is her story. Set in Mesopotamia in the 23rd century BCE, Unprecedented is told in Enheduanna’s own voice as she looks back on her life in a private reminiscence to Inanna, her patron goddess. After her father forces the young princess to leave home to be High Priestess in a strange city, she gradually comes to excel in the role, guided by supporters and anchored by faith. Over the next twenty-five years, Enheduanna survives plots, vendettas and rebellions and lives to see her two brothers and nephew become kings. When the stability of her family’s empire is threatened, she develops an ambitious and unique project, using poetry to unite the people of Mesopotamia. But her greatest work is produced in the darkest hour of her life, when an enemy takes away everything she has.
8 62Wolf's Oath Book 1: Oath Sworn
In Aralt ‘Wolf” syr Tremayne’s world, skyships sail above tidal extremes, crystal swords are Tuned, and the soul-touched inspire both awe and fear. The latter doesn’t phase him, he carries a Tuned blade, and as for the ships…Aralt prefers to keep his feet on solid ground. Having finally laid to rest the ghosts of his past, he is unprepared when the grave gives one of them back. To his shame, it isn’t the one he wants. Lian Kynsei’s arrival upends Aralt’s life, but there is nothing he can do about it. Oath-bound to Lian, the last of a priestly clan, he is now defender of the scion of a faith he no longer shares. But the boy Aralt once knew is gone. In his place is a reckless, traumatized teen who can light the sky on fire. The more they get reacquainted, the less Aralt likes him—and the feeling is mutual. As revenge against a common enemy boils in his blood, Aralt struggles to do his oath-sworn duty and secure sanctuary for the heir-apparent to a mystical dynasty. But instead of safety, every step brings them closer to danger: sky pirates, cannibals, and a relentless soulless scourge unleashed by their enemy are all intent on killing Lian—or worse. Death, Aralt realizes, might be the greater mercy. ---------------------------------------------------------- What to Expect: Character-driven Plot Novel Pacing (which I accept isn't typical for serials) Elaborate Worldbuilding (you gotta pay attention) Soul-bonded Swords Sentient Wolves Longish Chapters What Not to Expect: Litrpg (sorry!) Harem (not sorry!) Magic System Short Chapters Dancing Bears (at least so far) Seriously, this is a second-world low fantasy/science-fantasy featuring a strong, but flawed male protagonist, a cheeky teenage boy that’s driving him crazy, a wee bit o’ Scots flavor, and a whole lot of culture clashing. I’m preparing to relaunch this story on Kindle once the second and third books are ready and I’d love some feedback as I move through those revisions. I'm serious about the feedback. All comments are welcome. I'll name a characters after you. And kill them, if you want. :) Oh, did I mention soulless assassins and cannibals? Yeah, Aralt’s day is not getting any better. cover image by brosedesignz
