I was still sitting in my camping chair, stunned, when Alex came back, with two hot dogs for me.
But all I could think about was what the hell is wrong with Blake... because there had to be something wrong right? I mean why the hell would he have such sad eyes for no reasons? Or maybe he was just trying to make me feel bad... ya that's something he'd probably do...
"There you go Kitty," Alex said, handing them to me, snapping me out of my thinking.
I thanked him absentmindedly, still trying to figure out why the hell would Blake act like that.
"What's wrong?" Alex asked me, sitting back in his chair.
"Hmmm?"
"You have something on your mind."
"Ya, well... I think I might have said something wrong... does Blake get offended easily?" I asked frowning.
"What do you mean?" he asked, before taking a big bite from his hamburger.
"I don't know... I think I said something mean and now Blake's mad at me..."
"And that's a problem because?"
"I don't like having people mad at me, you know that!"
"Ya well, you kinda worked for it you know... Half of the time you speak with him, you insult him. That was bound to bite you back at some point," Alex chuckled.
"Hey! It's not like he's a gentlemen either, I mean please he turns everything into sexual innuendos and is always using freaking pick up lines!"
"Ya but he's not telling you "you're an ass" every two seconds."
"Whose side are you on, young man?" I exclaimed, turning to look at him fully.
"Fine, be like that," Alex laughed, shaking his head and rolling his eyes.
"I hate you," I mumbled and laid back in my chair
"No, you love me because you know I'm right," Alex said with a half smile.

"No, no, I'm pretty sure I hate you..." I pouted.
Alex just laughed and ruffled my hair, but I slapped his hand away.
"Aww, don't get mad at me Kitty. I mean I still love you even though you're a meany. That should count for something," he chuckled.
I raised my head, looking at the still blue sky, breathing in and out slowly.
The truth was I wasn't mad at Alex, I was more like mad with myself. I mean what the hell had I done wrong again?
I ate the rest of my food in silence, listening to everyone conversation around me, but not really listening at the same time.
When I was finished, I looked around, trying to find Blake, so I could go see him to understand what the hell was wrong with him I guess, or at least try to apologize...
"Do you know where Blake went?" I asked Alex, interrupting his conversation with Connor about how hot their asses looked in their spandex football pants.
"Sorry Kitty, I don't."
"I think I saw him walk to the deck a little while ago," Connor told me.
"Thanks!"
I got up from my seat, taking my M&M's with me, you know as a peace gesture, and made my way through the trail, towards the Creek.
But then when I could see the deck, instead of finding Blake alone, I saw Catherine, sitting there with him.
For some reason, my pace slowed and I watched intently the scene in front of my eyes.
Catherine leaned her head on Blake shoulders, and then Blake's arm wrapped around her waist, his head resting over hers, and my eyes were bulging.
WHAT THE HELL?
What was THAT supposed to mean?
And then I could hear what they were saying...
"Easy for you to say..." Blake mumbled.
"I meant it... the truth is bound to come out at some point..." Catherine answered.
"That's what scares me..." Blake said.
Oh god, oh dear mother of god...
Is Catherine cheating on Mark with Blake? Oh my god, that would be perfect, just freaking perfect!
I can't believe she would do something like that to Mark! They're so perfect for each other! What is she thinking?
Cause I mean come on... "the truth is bound to come out"?
Dear god...

And just the way they're standing...
And then hadn't Catherine been all "Blake's a good guy, there's a nice side to him"...
Oh god, oh god, oh go-
"Hey Lexi!" Catherine suddenly exclaimed while her head turned towards where I was.
Damn it! I'm spotted!
Weird thing, they didn't split apart like I would have guess they would...
"Hey guys, I didn't mean to interrupt or anything... not that I'm saying that there's something to interrupt, I'm just saying you know, if... ya rambling... I'm going to shut up now..." I said and turned around heading for anywhere far away from here.
But before I could walk away, I saw Mark coming from the trail.
Oh crap... oh crap crap crap!
"There you are!" he said, and then I turned my head back, to look at Catherine and Blake, expecting them to finally separate because they got caught, but instead Catherine pinched Blake's cheek, and he ruffled her hair, before she got on her feet.
Okay... I'm extremely confused now...
"Stop trying to take advantage of my girlfriend Eaton!" Mark said laughing.
"It's not taking advantage if she willingly comes to me..." Blake trailed, smirking a little.
Okay, this situation is just getting more and more confusing...
"Is this true Cath?" Mark asked, smiling.
"Well, Blake's hot you know," Catherine said, waving the matter with her hand and then laughed, Mark joining her.
Okay, seriously, what's going on here?
"Hey Cath! Remember what I said, I'm not kidding about your face!" Blake warned, when Mark and she started to walk back in the trail.
"Don't worry hysterical pre-teenage girl," she said rolling her eyes and then left with Mark, leaving an extremely bemused Lexi standing by the deck.
"You know, confusion suits you well Pumpkin," Blake snorted.
I stared at him, frowning and then walked towards him.
"Okay, I'm like really really lost here... Care to explain what I just saw?"
"And why would I do that?" Blake asked me, as I sat beside him, my feet dangling off the deck and in the water.
"I brought M&M's?" I said, offering him the bag.
Blake rolled his eyes, but still took and handful of candy.
"If you insist, our families are pretty close. Catherine's dad owns the art gallery downtown, so her father and mine are friends, so are our mothers, oh and I'm friends with her half-brother Josh... so ya... that wasn't me hitting on my mate's little sister so don't get you panties in a notch Pumpkin, plus a bro would never hit on another bro's girlfriend," Blake explained, while eating my M&M's.
Hmmm... that actually made sense...
Wow, I did jump on conclusion pretty fast, didn't I?
"Didn't think you had enough morals to follow the bro code!" I said and then regret it a little because I hadn't come here to insult him more, but to apologize and that didn't really help my cause.
But it was just too easy to give snotty replies with Blake... and it was actually kind of fun...
"Did you have a legitimate reason to come here, or you were just planning on annoying me?"
"Oh so now I annoy you?"
"Yes, actually, you're getting into one of those stalking not-even-girlfriend that attack my inbox. I know I'm delicious and all, but I expected more from you Pumpkin," Blake said smirking.
Well that was more like the normal Blake!
"Well to be honest I came here to apologize," I told him, resisting the urge to bite back with another insult.
"And why would you apologize Pumpkin?" Blake asked and then leaned his head back, throwing a handful of M&M's in his mouth.
"I don't know... looked like I hurt your feelings back there."
"Aww, but don't you know that Pumpkin, I don't have feelings, remember? I'm basically a penis on two legs, searching for his next victim."
"Please, let's not speak about your penis, I'm trying to be nice here!"
"And what, talking about it, is just turning you on so much? Admit it you picture me naked all the time!" Blake said and wiggled his eyebrows, smirking.
"Idiot!" I said and punched his shoulder, earning myself a laugh from him.
"Anyway, thanks for the apology I guess..." Blake said frowning and smiling a little at the same time.
"You better be thankful, cause trust me, you won't get a lot of those!"
"Oh, I feel really privileged," Blake said, nodding, but smirking.
"Good!"
"Oh and... that's for calling me a pig," Blake said and then grabbed me around the waist and threw us both into the water.

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
