《The Affair》Ruby |E|

"You'll never find out if he's cheating on you if you don't follow him."
Chloe's words were going around in circles throughout the entire flight here and through my "swim." I didn't go swimming like Nicolas had suggested. No, I hid down in the hotels lobby until I saw him come out.
Being careful to not let him see me following him, I hid myself every time he turns his head. I can't have him find me spying on him. He'd go berserk on me.
If he turns toward a building that appears to be associated with his company then I know he isn't cheating but if he doesn't then that means Chloe was right.
I follow him a few more blocks until he takes a turn to his right toward some apartment buildings. What could he be doing there?
I cautiously proceed as he knocks on a specific door that opens up seconds later. "Bonjour, mon ange." The soft tone of a woman who spoke in an obviously fake french accent greets him.
"Bonjour, mon amour." He greets back, I can almost here the smile on his face by the sound of his tone. Mon amour? But I'm his love, why call another woman that? Once the door had shut, I quickly approach it and see the number on the door: 8D.
It was clear what was happening through those walls, the sounds of lips clashing together was identifiable. It was a similar sound, when Nico and I used to be that passionate..
I stepped away from the door, I want to surprise him with a heavy-handed slap but now isn't the time for that. I was an emotional wreck, he wouldn't take me seriously and his lover would mock me.
Was she prettier? Sexier? Thinner? Richer? .. younger?
The sounds of moans and cries calling out for Nicolas cause me to slide down on the ground with tears flowing. My knees went up to my body as my arms surrounded them in a self-given hug.
It's true, I sob. Nico's cheating.

Is That A Wisp?
Author’s Note: The start of the story is very slow and cliche. Give it a chance until the wisp reaches the human cities. It’s at that point that the book’s charm shows itself (Around chapter 20, all free!).

The Legend of Ghost
This is a quick novella origin story to one of fan-favorite characters in the ZERO universe, Sam Dobbs, a.k.a. Slade Gardner, a.k.a. the Ghost. I wrote it for current ZERO series fans, after many insistent, fervent, teary-eyed demands. Still, I think it pretty much works as a stand-alone, so I'll post it here. (He gets the name Ghost later, not as part of this story...this is just the why he decided to do what he did, being slightly insane and all.) Lots of easter eggs for current fans. 15k words total, chapters will be approx. 2.5k each. Oh, and if you get turned off by crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials being crazy, hyperintelligent antisocials, this isn't the story for you. ;)

Accused of offending the dragons, branded a heretic and condemned by his people, Toktok is on the run from his homeland. Cut off from the support of his tribe, this kobold must rely on his own skills to survive in a foreign land where he is vermin.

He also has the company of a tamed land raptor that owes its loyalty to him, not to his tribe or to the dragons. However, with no other kobolds to watch his back and provide support in a fight, he will have to learn the hard way whether all of this will be enough to keep him alive in a land home to warriors and adventurers who would kill him just as soon as seeing him.
