"So I know ya heard about what happen the other night" Trigga stated eyeing the men that sat around the circle table. King sat quietly next to him not saying a word. "A moment of silence for the ones that past that night" he continued. Everybody in the room bow their heads and close their eyes, showing respect, for a moment for their lost ones that didn't make it for a few seconds before hearing Trigga speak.
"We gotta stay focus and work harder did y'all find a new place yet?" He questioned.
"Yeah" one of them answered.
"And talk to some people find out who starting trouble with us we don't have time for non sense I don't want to cover the streets in blood" he spat.
"Could it be Ray and them?"
"Nah Nikki told me the same thing happen to Ray" Khalil answered.
"But the only difference is we fought back and Ray's crew didn't make it" a girl name Chi Chi added.
"Yea I'm glad y'all wasn't there at the time" King said to Benji and his little crew that was playing Ray.
"Yeah well he fired us he said he can't trust anybody so now he bringing some of his boys that's from out of town" Benji told him. "He also thinks it was you who did it"
King shooked his head and chuckled. "This nigga is dumb as fuck everybody know the same shit that happen to him also happen to us" Trigga spat.
"I guess we gotta pay him a visit" King smirked. "We also have other news we gonna be working with Antonio from DR-"
"The OG Antonio-"
"Nah his son I already ask that" Dex said cutting one of the men off.
"Y'all trust him?" A man asked King.
"Nigga do you trust every nigga who be dapping you up shaking ya hand and shit?" King spat not getting an answer. "Don't worry about who we trust just know we got this"

Santana chewed on her pencil as she nervously thought about the answer to the last question on her final. She was stuck between two choices but after a few seconds of thinking about what she studied the other night since she couldn't sleep the memories started to come back to her. She filled in the bubble and stood up walking to to the professor desk handing her paper in. The professor gave her a small smile and she returned the gesture before turning around getting her stuff. She was the third one done out of fifteen and she didn't know if she should be excited cause it was finally over or nervous because she was done to early. After grabbing her belongings she headed towards the door leaving the class.
"Santana" she heard her name making her jump. She turned around and seen Chase standing behind her.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" he chuckled.
"It's alright just wasn't expecting you how did you know this was my class-"
"I just wanted to say I'm sorry for hanging up on you a couple night ago"
"It's alright" she said shrugging her shoulders. She pulled out her phone and texted King letting him know she was done with her test.
"Well if your not busy-"
"I wish I can but I really can't I'm going through so much right now my apartment got trash-"
"It's alright don't worry about it" he said letting out a sigh of relief. She felt her phone vibrate and she took a look at it seeing a text from King telling her he was already around the corner and he should be there soon.

"Look if you don't mind can I get back to you?" She asked him walking to the doors that lead outside.
"Uh yea sure" he answered. "I'll see you around" he continued before turning around walking away. Santana squinted her eyes realizing Chase wasn't wearing a book bag.
Hearing a beep she turned her head and seen King's car. She made her way towards the car but felt eyes on her. Once she reached the car she turned around and seen Chase staring at her making her feel uncomfortable. She hopped in quickly and King drove off heading to his place.
"How was the test?"
"It's was okay I think I passed"
"I know you passed" he said making her smile. He drove through the city blasting Bad and Boujee by Migos ft Lil Uzi Vert.
"Hey can you stop right here real quick?" Santana asked him pointing to a car dealership. King parked his car on the side of the road and turned to look at her who was texting on her phone.
"Pop your trunk please" she says kindly facing him. King stared at her for a few seconds as she stared back with a straight face. "King come on-"
Before she could finish he quickly reached down and pulled the lever popping his trunk. She rolled her eyes and thanked him before opening the door.
"Stay in the car" she said hopping out closing the door. She heard the engine cut off and Kings door open. "Watch ya mouth" he told her stepping out.
"Shut up" she told him heading to the back of his car. She opened the trunk and took out her black book bag. King squinted his eyes at her as she closed it, watching her walk inside the lot full of cars to a small building but before she could even make it fully to the door she was greeted by a African American salesman.
"Your back?" The salesman smirked eyeing her up and down biting his lip. King eyed him and took his appearance in. He was a short chubby guy that had crumbs on his beard and shirt.
"Here" Santana said throwing the bag at his feet. He looked down at it for a few seconds before squatting down and opening it.
"It's all there" she said as he took out stacks of money. King eyes widens and he turned and looked at her. She had a serious look on her face as the salesman started to chuckled standing up.
"So I guess you didn't want to take my other offer" he smirked eyeing her biting his bottom lip.
Rolling her eyes, Santana turned around heading towards Kings car but as soon as she was near the exit she made a right with King on her heels.
"What the fuck was that all about?" King asked her.
"I just brought my first car" she smiled stopping at a cherry red 2016 BMW.
"Ooh shit!!" King screamed putting a closed fist to his mouth. He couldn't help but smile staring at it. "This shit clean baby" he continued rubbing his hands like birdman walking around the car making her laugh.
"Uh excuse miss I'm just gonna need you to sign this for me" another salesman said walking up to them with a clipboard and keys.
"Let me read that over cause y'all niggas look suspect but you can give my shorty the keys though" King spat snatching the clipboard out his hand. The guy nodded his head and quickly gave the keys, along with her bag, to Santana who was cheesing.

After he read everything he let her sign her name proving that she brought the car and that it's in her name.
"You gonna follow me?" He questioned walking to his car.
"Yeah" she answered hopping in her new car inhaling the new car scent. Starting the car she fixed her mirrors and drove off the lot feeling like a whole new women following King to his place.
King couldn't help but smile and shake his head as he watching Santana stunt in her new whip. As she was cruising behind him people was trying to check who was in the car. Santana was getting all the attention and she didn't even know it. Once they made it to his place she parked next to his spot hopping out with a smile on her face.
"You feeling ya self" he teased as they walked hand and hand to the elevator. Once they made it his floor King unlocked his door and Santana walked in and took her shoes off throwing the black bag on the floor.
"If you don't mind me asking how you get all that money?" King questioned from the kitchen.
"Working"
"All that shit was not from working Tana-"
"Yes is it well half of it isn't but the most of it is"
"So what are you doing to get the rest?!" King snapped.
"Relax its not like that I have a bank account stupid ass!" She shouted. "My uncle died on seen so my aunt was struggling to live and before she passed she told me about it" she continued.
"I'm sorry I just thought you was-"
"I can't believe you think I would do that!!" She spat pushing him away.
"Tana!! I'm sorr-"
"Shut up!!" She screamed cutting him off she turned around and started to walking towards the back to his room.
"Yo watch ya mouth-"
"No you watch your fucking mouth!!" She shouted back sticking her head out the hallway before walking back in. King made his way to the room seeing her sitting on the bed taking out her school work.
"Get out!" She spat.
"What?" He chuckled. "This my room" he continued taking his shirt off.
"I don't care get out"
"Now I be wrong if I kick you out my place right?" He shot back not getting an answer. "Thought so but I am sorry I shouldn't have question that-"
"But you did anyway" she mumbled.
"Yoo make me pop you in ya shit" he said calmly snatching the book out of his way before climbing on top of her.
"King" she groaned out as he laid on top of her with his face in her breast. "You get me so mad urge move" she continued sounding irritated trying to adjust herself mushing him out the way.
"Let me get uh kiss"
"No King get off of me"
"Gimme one" he smiled pecking her jawline making his way to her lips. She kissed him back wrapping her legs around him tightly.
"King!!" A female voice screamed throughout his place. King sat up and threw his head back. "Bruh this can't be happening right now" he whispered.
"Who is that?" Santana questioned.
"King!!!"
"My mother" he frowned climbing off of her. She sat up quickly with widen eyes. "Your mother? What King did you-"
"Calm down I didn't tell her to come" he said before grabbing a shirt pulling it over his head.
"King!!! If I call your name one more-"
"I'm coming!!" He shouted back. "Wanna come?" He questioned. She shook her head before reopening her books.
"No I'm just gonna-"
"And bring that girl you got with you too!!" His mother shouted cutting her off. They both looked at each other and started to laugh. "Come on" he told her. She placed her books to the side before hopping off. She walked past him feeling his hand slap her ass. Turning around she pushed him back seeing him laughing. They walked into the living room seeing Natalia in the kitchen eating a bowl of grapes.
"Hey ma this is Santana, Santana this is my mother"
"Hi it's a pleasure to meet you" Santana smiled sticking her hand out. She took her appearance in notice where King got his skin color. She barely wore any make up showing a few freckles on her bare beautiful face. Her lips were full and plumbed and her light brown almond shaped eyes brought out her perfect high cheek bones. She had short hair but it was cut into a long bob and she was dressed in designer but wasn't to flashy with it.
"Oh" his mother said amazed sticking her hand out shaking it gently. "Natalia it's a pleasure to meet you as well"
King cleared his throat getting their attention. Natalia took off her fur scarf and placed it nicely on King bar stool. "I like what you done with the place" she complimented walking around carrying the bowls of grapes. "Got a women touch to it"
"Ma come on-"
"What? I'm just saying" she smirked. "I like it but anyway I'm throwing your father a dinner party and I want you to be there" she told him as he threw his head back. Something Santana noticed when he is annoyed.
"When?"
"This Friday night" she answered. "Nando bringing some girl"
"Nando back from New York?" King questioned scratching his head.
"Yea he came back last week he didn't call you?"
"No his stupid ass-"
"Watch your mouth and don't talk about your brother like that his head is wrapped up around that bougie girl he brought back with him"
"So what I'm busy all the time and I still reach out to him"
"So reach out to his stupid ass then" his mother spat popping another grape in her mouth. "These are good baby where you get them from?"
"Santana got them"
"Ooh keeping my baby healthy huh?" She smirked. "So miss thang where you get them from?" She continued walking closer to the kitchen island grabbing her fur scarf wrapping it around her neck.
"I got them from a fresh farmer market"
"The one uptown?"
"Yeah"
"Mmm well they are good" she said popping another one in her mouth. "But mamas gotta go" she said kissing King on the cheek. She grabbed his face and squeezed it. "You seem less stress and calmer I wonder why?" She said to herself but loud enough making Santana cough up her water. "I'm taking these grapes thank you and I see y'all Friday night" she said heading to the door. Once she closed the door they stared at each other and laughed.
"You busy Friday night?" He questioned. She eyed him before shaking her head.
"No King-"
"Tana come on please she invited you-"
"No she didn't-"
"Yes she did she said and I quote I see y'all Friday night-"
"King no no no no" she said walking to the back.
"Tana stop playing!!"

"Hey dad" Chanel answered her phone as she sat in Trigga bed eating chocolate ice cream.
"Hey just checking up on you haven't spoke to you in a few days"
"Yeah just been busy with work and stuff"
"What I tell you about eating in my room Chanel" Trigga barged in.
"Who is that? Trae?" Her dad asked.
"Yeah" she answered putting a big spoonful in her mouth teasing her baby father. One she put the spoon back he quickly snatched it and walked out the room.
"It's mine now!!" He yelled.
"Well I'm gonna let y'all two go I talk to you later"
"Alright bye" she said before hanging up. "Trae!!" She shouted hopping out of bed heading to the living room seeing him eating the ice cream. She walked in the kitchen and grabbed herself a spoon.
"Me and Tana are thinking about getting a new place"
"Why?"
"Because we don't want to live there no more after what happen" she answers.
"But why? Your pregnant you might as well continue to live with me-"
"But what about Santana?" She asked cutting him off eating more ice cream.
"I'm pretty sure she likes living with King if not then she would've been back in the apartment-"
"You and I both know King is not going to let that girl stay at that apartment by her self even though there hasn't been anybody suspicious-"
"How you know?" He questioned side eyeing her.
"Trigga you talk about shit right in front of me"
"Chanel it's going to be pointless cause in about eight months your gonna give birth and move right here" he told her focusing on the tv.
"So then you tell the news to Santana that she has to find a place on her own"
"No I'm just gonna tell her living with King is good idea until she gets everything together" he said calmly. Chanel couldn't help but chuckle at how serious he was.
"Do you think they gonna end up together?" She asked him.
"They probably fucking right now" he said straight up. She threw a decor pillow at him making him laugh. "I'm just saying but I don't know probably he's hasn't been messing around lately"
"Well that's a start..."

"What you learned today at school baby?" Nikki questioned her daughter.
"Farmer animals" Mylee answered. "Pig, horses, dogs, cow that goes mooo" she exclaim excitedly.
After work Nikki drove to her mother house to pick up Mylee and drove straight home. She was tired and just wanted to wash Mylee up, lay her down in bed, take a hot bath, and go straight to bed. When she pulled up she saw a man sitting on her steps with bags next to him.
"Who is that mommy?" She questioned.
"Uh I don't know sweetheart probably somebody waiting for a ride"
"He looks like daddy"
"Nikki!!" The man yelled walking up to the car.
"Myles?" She questioned to herself.
"Daddy!!" Mylee yelled kicking her feet. Myles open the door to the back and leaned his head in giving his daughter kisses. "Daddy what you doing?!" She giggled.
"I'm home baby girl" he cheesed unbuckling her car seat. He picked her up and feeling her arms wrap around him. Nikki quickly exit out of her car and basically ran to the other side hugging him.
"Myles I thought you get out in a few months-"
"I know but I got out early just a few more months on my parole thought but I'm out" he answered. "Open the door it's cold out here babe" he said.
"How long you been out here for?" She questioned walking up the steps walking into the hallway. They made their way inside and she quickly turned on the light locking the door behind them.
"Just a few minutes not to long before you pulled up"
"Oh okay how you get here?"
"My brother now are you going to give me some loving or question me?"
"Both" she giggled kissing him.
"Did you call your mother?" She asked him putting her bag down.
"Yeah I stopped by her house before I came here" he said watching his daughter take off her boots and jacket hanging it up neatly.
"Shower time then bed" Nikki said as they all walked upstairs. After Mylee showered Myles decided to watch a little tv with her as Nikki showered and got ready for bed. When she walked in Mylee room she saw them both sleeping.
"I'm not sleeping" he said sitting up. He gently took his daughter off his chest laying her down on the bed covering her up. "That girl can tire you out and I was only with her for thirty minutes"
Nikki couldn't help but chuckle she was so excited her man was home and she couldn't be more happier. Once they reached her room Myles couldn't help but look at what she had on.
"What you got on under that robe?"
"Nothing" she smiled pushing him on the bed. She climbed on top of him and they shared a long passionately kiss. He caressed her body under her robe feeling nothing underneath.
"Now I see what you meant when you said nothing" he smirked making her laugh.
"I missed you" Nikki smiled.
"I missed you too"

Rise of the Green
This is set three hundred years before my other fiction, Journal of an Adventurer. With the age of disbelief coming to a close, people shoved to the side and rejected from mainstream sociality came together to form an organisation. If they worked together, they would protect their way of life, which conflicts with their technological mindset. In Favinonia, a place of learning and advancement. Where the world’s new technologies are created and studied. University Engineers reworking various new designs of past do-dads and gismos to serve the need of the populous. In a world still filled with magic, the Favinonian people have turned away from magic to embrace this new reasoning. Deprived of faith, the populous was yes advance but lacked humanity and needed to move onto the next step, losing emotion and losing touch with the higher realm. These cause some to fall for other means, pursuing that need to fill with devil and demon cults. In the chaos and ignorance came a community of healers with ancient knowledge before the Massacre of Magic. These few will eventually found the church of the Trinity whose three aspects of Green, life and death with healing and agriculture, Orange, retribution and protection with the flame of passion and Blue, knowledge and law with the clarity of the mind.
8 130The Dark Star Emperors
Three girls awaken in a mysterious dark room. All three given powers by the light, but now have been brought back from the underworld consumed by darkness. Their memories lost. But they each have their own reasons for fighting guardians of the light. The three, Jack, Mary, and Yune, must work together and overcome their own differences to defeat the light.
8 113Essentia Animus
Second Book of the Soul - Celesi Veil Trilogy When the living essence of three girls are put at risk, giving room for a second essence within themselves, even their hyper developed fantasy world might not be enough to contain their new found ambitions. Another story of another world, these three girls must adapt to their new essence, all while each is left to question if they are truly still even alive. While this story is a sequel of the previous story in the trillogy, it is also fully capable of standing alone in its own light, taking place in a distant corner of a Celese returning readers will be otherwise incapable of recognizing. However, the events of the story are a spoiler for the previous book, in case that matters to anyone. This story takes place over two centuries after the events of Vitae Memorandum, when Celese had developed into an advanced world, improved to a point that it is much like modern-day Earth while still using the gift instead of technology. The Aethyx languages are still present in this book, and even English still exists in the world after the events of the previous book, but are much less of a focus after the same closing events of the previous book. What is instead important is how the ending events of the previous book had resulted in the start of the Instrumentation Era, and exactly how the gift translates in a modern-day sense. While this book is still effectively a fantasy world of its own kind of magic, it isn’t the classical medieval scene that would be typical for such a story. The laws of science still do not exist in Celese, but that didn’t stop it from developing into something that looks similar enough. Earth itself still remains present on the other side of the veil, and its previous exposure continues to shape and advance Celese into the world it has become. This story contains scenes exibiting mania and similar dark themes, as it goes to great length to explore concepts of life and death. While the degree of such themes should not be considered to be as serious compared to matters such as actual horror, the psychological depth is still siginifcant enough to be potentially concerning for people sensitive to matters of this nature, such as any individuals with concerns questioning matters of suicide, mental harm, or a variety of emotional injuries. While none of these subjects actually occur in the story, readers who are currently troubled by such matters may find themselves considering old wounds if they are especially capable of empathy while reading, which could lead to furthered emotional or mental stress. Readers with a high capacity for empathy may find themselves troubled by concerns regarding any potential lack of mental/emotional control as well as considerations regarding the meaning of death. Readers who appreciate subtle dark themes in a story may instead find this to be an interesting twist of the same idea.
