Santana sat out front of one of Kings trap houses going through her notes. He just picked her up from her late classes and was supposed to take her home but had to handle something real fast.
"My fault you ready?" He asked hopping in.
"Yeah quiz me"
"Alright uh name each part of the brain"
She gave him all the correct answers like nothing making him smile. Beside family King has never met a woman like Santana before. She was smart and independent but also hurting and the type of woman she is she didn't want to show that she was hurt.
"If you graduate I take you on a trip"
"To where?"
"Anywhere you want to go"
"Anywhere?"
"Anywhere"
"Uh Hawaii"
"Hawaii?"
"Yes"
"Why Hawaii?"
"That's where my family from"
"For real?" He questioned. "Your Hawaiian?"
"Yeah"
"You ever went before?"
"Yeah a couple of months before my mother died I went down to visit and then I had to fly back after she died to bury her"
"Did you go back after that?"
"Yea with my uncle to visit my great grandmother when I was ten"
"I never been there before and I've been around the world"
"It's so beautiful"
"I heard where is your family from?"
"Originally from Kauai but they moved to Honolulu"
"Lemme find out I got a real life Lilo in my car right now" he joked hearing her laugh slightly.
"Speaking of car what happen to your truck?"
"I junked it"
"Ooh okay"
Even though King don't really fuck with Cain like that he was thankful that he blessed him with a all black 2016 Mercedes Benz.
"I don't want to go home" she whined looking out the window.
"What you doing tomorrow?"
"Nothing I work tomorrow"
"Wanna break night?" He asked her getting her attention. She looked over at him and started to laugh.
"Break night?"
"I'm serious have some fun"
"What we going to do?"

King guided Santana through the small crowded club trying to reach the bar to get a drink. Your Number by Ayo Jay ft Fetty Wap was playing loudly throughout the small building as people stood around either talking or dancing enjoying their Friday night.
"Wassup King?" Zeke the bartender questioned wiping the counter. "What you fucking with tonight?"
"Zeke my man Let me get uh two hurricanes" King requested with out looking at the menu that was placed all across the counter.
"Blue or green?"
"Make one blue and the other green"
"Coming right up"
"Where are we?!" She yelled over the music.
"One of my spots!!" King answered nonchalantly.
"You own this?!"
"Yeah!!"
"Is it always this pack?!" She yelled over the music ignoring the stares from the girls around her.
"Yeah tonight is actually not that pack though!!"
"King I was stepping on people shoes!" She shouted watching Zeke make the drinks in big containers. Her eyes grew big when she saw him pour enormous amount of liquor, taking a look around she notice some people that come to shop. Some would say hi while others rolled their eyes as King kept her near.
"Which one you want?" She heard King voice. Turning her head she saw him holding up two filled up containers in brown bags. "Blue or green?"
"Green I guess" King looked in both bags before passing one of them to her. "What is it?"

"Hurricane it's good trust me"
Santana hesitated at first but slowly sipped the drink tasting the mixture of juice, soda, and strong liquor.
"Mm this is so good" she said before drinking more.
"Yooo"
Still sipping her drink she looked up seeing Khalil and Flaco walking over with Dex besides them.
"Santana what you doing here?!" Dex asked her over the music.
"King brought me here!" she answered before going back for more.
"You was thirsty or something?!" King questioned watching her down her drink. She nodded her head with widen eyes before calling it quits.
"This is so good"
"You never left the house before have you?" He asked her. She sucked her teeth and waved him off before drinking more feeling the liquor take over her body. Dex took the container out of her hand and her lips turned into a frown.
"You need to slow down!!" he chuckled. "What you got her?!"
"Hurricane!"
"Nah you should've gave her Henny threesome-"
"She can't drink that yet!!" King chuckled. Rolling her eyes she snatched her drink out of his hand and He couldn't help but chuckle.
"Zeke let me-"
"Already on it!!"
"Make it three!!"
"Nah Zeke give me a green Hurricane!!" Khalil added.
"Yoo King" Flaco nodded his head and King turned around seeing a girl he used to fuck with.
"Hey King" she greeted touching his shoulder.
"Yoo Tana you ever been here before?" Khalil asked. She shook her head and continued to drink her drink hearing King conversation.
"Nah Im busy tonight" she heard him tell the girl. Santana made eye contact with another guy who she found very attractive. They both shared a smiled as she continued to sip her drink feeling King hand on her waist.

"Uh Santana!!"
"Dominic!!" he smiled. She didn't know if it was the liquor she consumed in the past two minutes but she couldn't stop smiling.
"You have a beautiful smile-"
"Yoo you ready?" King asked eyeing Dominic.
"Where we going?"
"Come on" he said grabbing her hand leading her towards the exit. Once they made it outside with the rest of the guys King had a few words to say to her. "Yo don't be talking to that nigga"
"I'm not a little girl King-"
"I don't care don't fucking talk to that nigga-"

"That liquor got you feeling some type of way" he snapped stepping in her face. Her attitude was pissing him off he had to admit and In her responded she rolled her eyes showing no fear.
"Whatever King" she spat before catching up with Dex. Shaking his head he followed them to their car hearing them laughing.
"Yoo Santana you smoke?" Khalil asked about to roll up once they reached the car.
"Sometimes" she answered sipping her drink. She was starting to feel nice allowing King guiding her body to lean on his as he leaned against the car. After about thirty minutes they just got done smoking two blunts, Santana finished her drink so King gave her his which she accepted happily.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here.

8 153Beast
A threat to the galaxy has come from another, and the Union of intelligent life will go to any length to stop it. Military Quarantine has held for hundreds of thousands of cycles. Traders, merchants, colonists, and Pirates live risky lives along the fringes as the politics from the inner systems fail to see the larger threats beyond their borders. A lone human finds himself far from home with no memories to how he arrived. A failing Trade vessel plays on a desperate gamble, while a malicious parasite searches for a suitable host. ............................................. Author's note: Beast is a story that I wrote a long, long time ago. Some of you might have read it then, back when it was posted on reddit over at r/HFY. It was my first webfiction and made in the spirit of that subreddit's "genre" of humanity being awesome. But, it is also a story that has bothered me a little bit. Just like most new writers tend to do, I made mistakes and errors that feel painful to reread. A Space Opera will be a Space Opera, but I had prose that makes present-me cringe. Still, at the same time, the story is still very much a tale I've never given up on. It was my first adventure into fiction: Beast was a crazy adventure with bodysnatching aliens, galactic war, threats from across the universe... Posting this story here is a way to try and redeem myself a bit. I won't call it a complete rewrite, because it's not, but I have wanted to go through and correct some of the major issues Beast has for a long time and put it somewhere more accessible to read (instead of as posts/comments on reddit) and I figure that now is as good a time as any. Additional corrections you might notice are welcome.

DON'T READ THIS! WELL IF YOU WANT TO YOU CAN, BUT DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU! I LEAVE IT HERE AS A REMINDER TO MYSELF. MAYBE, ONE DAY, I WILL REWRITE IT, THOUGH IT WILL BE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY! After the Hero, Olympius, son of God, defeated the Demon King and uncovered his evil plot of infiltrating humanity with demons, the world returned to balance. People could live in peace again, not having to worry if their lives were in constant danger. But after a long time, darkness started brewing again in the world. A shade that this time, they created themselves. P.S. It's my first novel, so I welcome any critique, and if you find any grammar mistakes and if you can find motivation in you to inform me of those, please do! ;)

8 148By Myself
The diurnal monsters worship the day, while the nocturnal creatures rule over the night. But nothing opposes two folks more than living on the same land at the same time. Humanity prospered until it reached a pre-industrial age where the largest cities observed the first long chimneys made in brick whereas the smaller villages still had to cut the forest's logs with their axe. But to get to this flourishing era, something had to be sacrificed.
