+Graduation day+
Olivia stood in her room in front of her mirror. Alice had come by late last night and gave Olivia an outfit she had to wear to the graduation and then the party. Olivia sat in her dressing robe in front of the mirror applying her make up. A knock came to her door. "It's open," Olivia answered and Charlie opened the door.
"Your mom sent me your graduation present. She won't be able to attend the ceremony," Charlie says and set a box down on Olivia's bed. "Thank you, dad. I'll call her after I'm done," Olivia says smiling at Charlie who smiled at her before he left her room. Olivia's phone started to ring next to her. She picked it up and saw the caller ID. Demetri.
He would send messages and he would call her almost every day, but Olivia never answered. She only knows what Alexander told her, that she was in love with Demetri. Olivia let out a sigh as she answered the phone.
"Olivia," A male voice says into the other end. To Olivia, it sounded familiar, but she can't put a face to the voice. "I don't know if it's you on the other side as I can't hear any breathing but if it is you, please talk to me. I want to know what I did wrong. We left off on a good place when you left Italy, well I hope we did and I'm just scared that something has happened to you," Demetri says and Olivia just listened to him. Olivia pulled the phone away from her hear and pressed on the red button, ending the call.
Olivia stared at her phone for a few seconds before she puts her phone down next to her and continued to get ready. Olivia stared at herself in the mirror. Her make up was finally done. Now just for the hair and clothes. She took her brush and got a few of her hairpins and started to work on her hair.
Once she was finished she stood up and walked to her closet where the dress that Alice gave her was hanging. She took it off the hanger and took off her dressing robe. She unzipped the dress and puts it on. She sat down on the bed and puts on her heels, Alice also provided them. Luckily they gave Olivia a little bit of hight.
Olivia picked up her yellow graduation gown and cap, as well as her blue piece of cloth that she has to put over her shoulders. Olivia walked out of her room and saw Charlie waiting for her in the kitchen. Alexander and Lucy sat opposite him. They arrived in Forks late last night and Olivia went to greet them.

"Alexander, Lucy. I thought you were meeting us at the school," Olivia says smiling at them. She walks up to them and hugged them. "We were, but decided that we wanted to see you before the ceremony," Alexander says smiling at Olivia. Lucy walks up to Olivia and hugged her. "The backyard smells like wet dog," Lucy whispers into Olivia's ear as she hugged her.
"I know. It a protection detail for the humans in the house," Olivia whispers back and pulls away from Lucy, who nods understanding what the protection details were about. The night Bella found out about Olivia being a vampire there was a protection detail set in for Bella and Charlie as an unknown vampire in their house. The Cullens stood watch the first few hours of the night and then when the Cullens would hunt the wolves would take over.
Olivia and Charlie took her Jeep to the school and Alexander and Lucy followed in Alexander's car. Olivia was surprised that Charlie didn't comment on why Lucy still looks so young, but she didn't want to bring it up.
Olivia and Charlie arrived. "I'll see you after the ceremony," Olivia says kissing Charlie's cheek before she walked towards the hall where the students were gathering. Olivia walked in and saw Jessica nervously walking up and down at the end of the hall. Olivia walked towards Jessica and Jessica came to a stop when she saw Olivia.
"I can't do it. I can't. You do it," Jessica says and pushed her valedictorian speech into Olivia's hands. "Jessica, take a deep breath. Calm down and tell me what wrong," Olivia says holding Jessica's shoulders. "I can't do the speech. I'm not made for this, this was supposed to be you," Jessica says and Olivia shook her head.
"Jessica, they chose you for a reason. I don't want to do it. You are the Valedictorian of this year, your speech will be amazing and no one can argue against it. You will do great," Olivia says and handed Jessica her speech back. Jessica smiled at Olivia and hugged her. "Thank you," Jessica whispered and Olivia smiled at her.
They all walked into the hall and took their seats. Jessica walked up to the stage and Olivia could see that she was still nervous. Olivia smiled at her and Jessica nods and stood behind the podium.
"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president, or in my case, princess," Jessica started while smiling at everyone. "When we were ten they asked us again and we answered: rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist," Everyone laughed at what Jessica said causing her to smile even brighter.

"But now that we've grown up they want a serious answer. Well, how about this: who the hell knows?!" Jessica says and some of the students cheered while others laughed. "This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, it's the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Mayor in philosophy - 'cause there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be . . . we won't have to guess. We'll know," Jessica says and everyone cheered as Jessica smiled at them.
They started to call out everyone's names. Bella stood up when it was her turn and Charlie stood up to clap for her. "Olivia Swan-Sorrentino," They called and Olivia stood up and walked onto the stage. She smiled as she walked to stand on the stage. She looked at the principal who gave her a nod.
"A few days ago I went to talk to Mr Ferguson. I wanted to give something to the school from this year graduating class. Although we already did something, I wanted to give a painting that has meaning. I spent the last few days in the art room. As everyone knows I went missing for a few weeks and I lost some of my memories and Mrs Mavis reminded me that the memories will come back when the time is right. Now most of you have a loved one, or you lost a loved one, and I painted this as a reminder that even if we lose someone they will always be there to carry us in times of need. Even if it is not physically but mentally," Olivia says and pulled out a canvas from behind the stage curtains.
Everyone clapped and smiled as Olivia revealed the painting. Olivia smiled at them before she walked off the stage and back towards her seat with her diploma in hand. After the ceremony, she caught up to Alexander and Lucy who were waiting for her.
"That painting is amazing," Alexander says hugging Olivia. "Thank you," Olivia smiled and hugged him back. "So are you two on your way?" Olivia asks once Alexander pulls away. "Sadly yes. We need to get back to new york but I promise you that we will visit you when we can or you can visit us," Alexander says and Olivia nods.
"All right. Tell me when you get to new york," Olivia says and Alexander nods. Olivia gave Alexander and Lucy each a hug before they walked off. Charlie walked up behind her and puts his hands on her shoulders. "So did you open Renee's present?" Charlie asks. "No, I completely forgot about it. I am going home before the party so I'll open it then," Olivia says and Charlie nods.
Olivia and Charlie got home and Olivia went straight to her room. She entered and sat down on her bed next to the box from Renee. She untied the bow and lifted the lid of the box up. On top was a letter. Olivia took the letter and opened it.
Dear Olivia
You have grown into a beautiful woman. I hope that you come to visit me after graduation. I first want to apologize for not being there, but I hope the present makes up for it. Those few weeks that you were gone, I was worried out of my mind, but when Charlie told me that you were safe I was so happy and I wanted to get on the first flight to FOrks to see you, but Phil and Charlie said that you might need some time to adjust and not feel crowded, so I didn't.
I will always love you, Olivia. Remember that.
Love, Renee
Olivia smiled and set the letter aside before she looked at the present. She frowned as she looked at it. It was a few painting things and then there was a small rolled-up cloth. Olivia picked it up and unrolled it. It was make-up brushes. Olivia smiled and took out her phone and ringed Renee.
"Olivia," Renee greeted. "He, mom," Olivia says smiling. "Thank you for the presents. I love them," Olivia says and she could hear Renee laughing. "I just figure that you might need it, and I'm glad that you like them," Renee says.
"I'll see what I can do about visiting," Olivia says and Renee hummed. "I have a party to get to. I love you" Olivia says to Renee. "Love you too, darling," Renee says and hanged up. Olivia left the presents on her bed and stood up. She grabbed her phone and car keys and made her way downstairs.
She said goodbye to Charlie and started her drive to the Cullen house.

The Sea of Destiny
[Let me be straight with you. This is trash, like old dime store novel trash. Don't expect grandiose writing, anything profound, or much beyond being free of spelling errors. Like my profile says, it’s hopefully like a salty snack, decent and satisfying for people looking for this kind of thing (at least that's my hope). It is simple, weird, and most likely growing in ridiculousness as it rapidly escalates.] Michael just wants to get away after a rough breakup. He figures some time alone cruising on a sick jet ski will help clear his head. After a small series of mishaps he winds up as humanities last hope adrift at sea after nuclear devastation destroys the mainland. Will he be able to solve the mystery of the bowl of the ancients before nuclear winter freezes over his dwindling food supply? Who are these mysterious women he keeps meeting, and will he even care about the talents they bring to the table, or will he be too focused on how they keep ruining his carefully laid plans for survival at sea? Read this cheesy short story to see for yourself, and discover the true mystery behind the hand of fate.

Epoch: An NPC's Tale
Epoch is a slow-burn LitRPG/Gamelit novel that tells the story of Luke, later named Lucius—a natural inhabitant of the game-like realm of Elyssia where thousands upon thousands of detached, virtually unkillable entities known as the Players were suddenly introduced right after the dusk of the magnificent Age of Heroes. Shortly after the Players arrived, the balance of power in Elyssia instantly shifted. Kingdoms fell, wars were waged, alliances between races were made, and Lucius, after ten years of training in captivity, found himself being used as a pawn in a prophecy that he had no intention to fulfill. With aspirations and desires of his own, Lucius must find a way to cautiously adapt to the drastic changes in the very foundations of the realm after being sent 300 years into a future that was forever altered by the outcome of the war that his captors had lost and the Players won in a victory that resounded throughout the ages, all for a terrible price. Author's Note As an avid fan of the LitRPG genre myself, I wrote this novel with character progression, heavy Gamelit elements, and some degree of world-building in mind. If you like these, please feel free to give this novel a try. Oh, and the MC is also an NPC, in a sense. And wait, isn't this also an isekai story? Well, it's all a bit complicated to explain here. Maybe you should start reading now?

Making of a Genius [A Progression LitRPG]
What does it take to climb to the top of the academic ladder? Lexus came face to face with his mediocrity the moment he arrived at Cambridge University to study computer science. There was a ceiling that he could not overcome, an intellectual world that was unreachable. But if you give a chicken an eagle's wings, it will fly higher than you could ever imagine. And that was exactly what happened to Lexus: with the help of a system, he could make it big. Schedule:1 chapter per week (every Friday evening at 5:30pm GMT). The weekly schedule is to allow time for research and factual accuracy where required. Author's Note: The story is about a computer science student at university, gradually improving and embarking on the path to become a world-renowned genius-level expert with the help of a system. There'll be a lot of studying and academics, but imagine being the best in your year. Easily. At that point, academics stops being stressful and starts being fun, doesn't it? The initial chapters are heavy on mathematical detail, but I don't expect anyone to actually read through them thoroughly. It's fine to skim them or even skip them, but I hope you try to get a sense of the progress being made, and feel happy for Lexus when something 'clicks' inside his brain :) As the story progresses, later chapters will go into less depth into individual questions, though I aim to remain consistent in terms of scientific accuracy/feasibility. Welcome, and I hope you enjoy the story!

Chronicles of Rathia - The Era of Blood
Welcome to the Chronicles of Rathia. Contained within is a trilogy of stories which are all set in different time periods and with different characters. Each story has its own era from The Era of Blood, The Era of Magic and The Era of Demons. Read along the first in the series which is The Era of Blood where magic is still in an infant stage and where swords can dominate the battle field. In The Era of Blood, you follow along the first main character who had his memories wiped clean except for the most basic things in life. It is up to him to find out how to get his memories back and why they are gone. (If you don't like the story layout or characters, I suggest either just reading through or wait till the next one in the series is being released. With how it's set up, you can enjoy any of the three in the trilogy but of course reading in order will help give a better understanding of the world.) (Side authors note - I'm currently reworking the first several chapters as they are lacklustre to myself since they were originally a draft and not concrete at first. This note will stay here until all the chapters I wanted to fix up are done.)
