《The Banshee (Jasper Hale x OC)》Chapter 21
Advertisement
We drove to Emily's place.
"Hey, I think we should go back and see if Jacob's okay" said Bella, while Embry helped me out of the truck.
"I hope Paul sinks some teeth in him. Serves him right" said Jared.
"No way, Jacob's a natural. You see him phase on the fly?" said Embry. "I got five says Paul doesn't touch him"
"Come on in, Bella. They won't bite" I smiled.
"Hey, who told you that?" said Jared and I hit him on his head.
"Oh, hey, about Emily, Sam's fiancée. Don't stare. It bugs Sam" said Embry.
"Why would I stare?" asked Bella and she stepped inside the house.
"You guys hungry? Like I have to ask" said Emily and she saw me. "Emma! You're back" she hugged me.
"It's good to see you too, Emily" I said and hugged her back. "Are those muffins?"
"Yes, here, have one" she said and gave me one. "Who's that?" she looked at Bella.
"Bella Swan. Who else?" said Jared.
"Hmm, so... you're the vampire girl" said Emily.
"So, you're... the wolf girl" said Bella.
Emily chuckled. "Guess so. Well, I'm engaged to one" she said.
Jared and Embry wanted to eat the muffins, but Emily stopped them.
"Save some for your brothers, and Emma" she said and I gave Bella a muffin. "Leave it to Jacob to find a way around Sam's gag order"
"Um, he didn't say anything to me" said Bella.
"It's a wolf thing" explained Embry. "Alpha's orders get obeyed whether we want them to or not. Oh, and check it out. We can hear each other's thoughts"
"Would you shut up?" said Jared. "These are trade secrets. Damn it! This chick runs with vampires"
"You can't really run with vampires" said Bella. "Because they're fast"

"Well, these boys like to brag that they're faster than vampires" I said and Jared rolled his eyes.
"Freaked out yet?" asked Jared. "Emma was when she found out"
"I was not!" I said.
"You're not the first monsters I've met" said Bella.
"I feel personally offended" I said and she hit me playfully.
"Jake's right. You're good with weird" said Sam when he came in and he kissed Emily.
Paul and Jacob came back and Jacob had won the fight.
"Pay up Jared!" I said and he sighed.
"Sorry" said Paul and took a muffin.
"Go with Jacob. He'll explain everything" I said to Bella and she left.
"So, how was Laurent?" I asked and they laughed.
"You made it too easy" said Paul.
"Hey, have you seen a redhead around?" I asked and they all stopped eating and stared at me.
"You know her?" asked Sam.
"Her name is Victoria. How do you know her?" I asked.
"She's been around, lurking around the border" said Sam. "She's looking for something, but we don't know what"
"Well, Bells and I do" I said and they all stared at me. "She's mainly after Bella. But she'd like to see me dead too"
"What? Why? What did you do?" asked Jared.
"Why do you assume I did something?" I said offended. "Her mate, James went after Bella last year. But the Cullens killed him. But Victoria wants revenge. And since she can't kill me without dying herself, she's going to kill Edward's mate. Meaning, Bella"
"Okay, we'll guard your house. We promised we were going to protect you" said Sam and I smiled.
"Thank you" I said.

Every day, Charlie and Harry went out hunting.
And the wolves were constantly busy with hunting Victoria...

I sat with Emily, waiting for news.
"They'll be fine today too" said Emily trying to calm me down.
"I don't know, I have a really bad feeling today" I whispered.
And then... it happened...
"Emma? What's wrong?" asked Emily. I grabbed my hair.
"Get out, Emily! Get out, now!" I shouted and she listened. She went out of the house.
I felt Harry die... and I felt that Bella was dying too...
I screamed, and not just any scream. I screamed like a Banshee...
When I was done screaming, all the glass in the house was broken and I fell backwards.
'It's all clear now...' I could distinguish the feelings even better, I could sense the vampires and werewolves close by.
I could sense people dying, but it wasn't overwhelming anymore. I could live with it now...
"Emma? Emma!" it was Paul. He helped me up and I hugged him. "Damn you're cold. Wait, your heart. It's hardly beating"
"Harry! Bella!" I said and pushed him away. "Harry, he died... and Bella, she's... she's drowning!"
I looked at Jacob and we ran to the beach.
Jacob was faster and he jumped into the sea. He pulled Bella out of the water and began giving CPR.
"Breathe. Breathe. Come on, Bella. Breathe" he said and she began breathing again.
"Bella? Bella, can you hear me?" I said and touched her face.
She opened her eyes and looked at me and Jacob. "Jake? Emma?" she said.
"Come here" said Jacob and pulled her close to him. He was warm.
"What the hell were you thinking?" I scolded her, again.
"I just wanted to see something" said Bella.
"Get them home! I'm gonna go help out over at Harry's place!" shouted Paul.
"What happened at Harry's?" asked Bella.
"Harry Clearwater had a heart attack" I said.
"Charlie and my dad are over at his place with his family" said Jacob.
"Is he okay?" she asked me.
"He's gone" I said.
"Come on. I'll get you something dry and drive you home" said Jacob.
I sat in the back of the truck, while Bella and Jacob sat in the front.
When we arrived, I felt 2 familiars vampires.
I jumped out of the back of the truck and looked around.
Bella ran inside the house while Jacob tried to stop her.
I saw the car of Carlisle and then I saw him...

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)

STEM: The Topical Dungeon
Inspired by CORE: The Volcanic Dungeon by Ace Arriande and a spiritual successor to my writing prompt series Evolution Barricade, STEM is a series following the reincarnation of Kaden into the fantasy world of Brogdar. Reborn as a "DM" and a plant, Kaden tackles the challenges of being the agent of the chaotic god: trying to be his very own dungeon master. However, unlike other stories, Kaden is often making fun of and dealing with disadvantages that the normal reincarnated hero would never have to worry about. A parody of the normal tropes of isekai, STEM is a periodic series that is intended to release a minimum of once per week. There may be times where there is more than one drop, but those would be special occasions. Additionally, the content tags are simply to try and ensure my readers know these stories can encompass a large variety of things. They may not immediately be in focus, but they will all end up appearing!
