Jacob, what is going on? Didn't I specifically say that you let me do the talking." Jacob sighed, looking the other way, until I took my hand and turned Jacob's face towards me. "I'm sorry, they forced me again." I sighed, just figuring out what to expect next, and Jacob swallowed hard.
"Did you kill her?" I asked, I looked at Jacob seriously.
Jacob sighed, "No," Jacob said, softly.
I just sat there in my seat continuing to look at Jacob. "You do know that you're gonna have to stop lying, they're gonna keep you here all night questioning you, until you tell them what happened." Jacob asked me if I didn't believe him, I sighed, stroking my hair out of my face.
"Please believe me, you know I wouldn't lay a single hand on anyone," Jacob said, begging. I sighed, "Then why do they arrest you?
*****
Jacob, she was murdered in cold blood, they arrested you for a reason, and I am thinking you have something to do with Izz's death," I said in frustration. Jacob swallowed before sighing. Jacob was interrupted by the detectives who came back in and sat down in their seats.

"Jacob, let me reverse a little, when you texted David and threatened him, was it before or after you found out your girlfriend was pregnant?" Jacob sighed, he was getting even more frustrated and upset.
"It was afterwards," Jacob answered back. "And David is your best friend, correct?" Jacob shook his head, "Yes." I sighed, wiping my eyes and face in frustration mode. Detective James just looked at me like he knew that we have been through a lot of bad stuff. He could tell I was worried about my own brother.

"How long have you and David have been friends?" Detective Evan asked. Jacob sighed, "I met David in ninth grade, so about four years." Detective James asked if David ever wanted to hurt anyone, possibly? "Did David ever had any problems with Izza?"
Jacob sighed, "I remember when he first met Izza, he kind of felt like I was using him over her." Detective James quickly asked, "Oh yeah, how so?" Jacob sighed once again, "I just knew that he was kind of jealous of Izza. Like he agreed for me to ask her to be my girlfriend, but then things started to settle down, like he started to like Izza," Jacob sighed, I made myself comfortable again in my own chair. I was confused.
I either was confused, or then I just had a flashback of what Jacob was implying about the fact that David starts to like Izza after he gets jealous of her. But jealousy is a sinful behavior, I guess the Holy Spirit got to David when he felt jealous. I remember being that way in high school.
*****
I was a teenager like David, being jealous of my best friend's girlfriend. Her name was Sophie River, the most popular girl in the school, dating my best friend, Taylor Matthews. Until I didn't know why I was jealous of Sophie. I was jealous of a girl who was dating my best friend. I sighed, and Jacob was still being interviewed.
"Jacob?"
"Yes?"
Defective James just looks at Jacob suspiciously and Jacob sighed, I could tell he was lying. "What? You think I am making all of this up? I know what I am saying, and I am not lying. I am explaining to you Detective James if you could just look up at me please and don't look at me like I am some kind of person who would just like to lie." I sighed, closing my eyes. I turned my head, opening my eyes once again.

"Heh," Jacob said, heheing. "Jacob," I said. I turned my head facing him once again. Jacob all of a sudden had a change in behavior. "Okay, well, Jacob, why did you think David started to like your girlfriend? He didn't pretend, did he? " Jacob shrugged, Jacob heheing once again, but softly chuckled at once. "I don't know, I guess the Holy Spirit just got to him. So he eventually stopped being jealous, at least that's what he told me."

Healing Dungeon
// DUNGEON Mechanics will start to appear around chapter 100+/Arc 3 of the story! \ Avan, a 25-year-old young man, is torn from his rather boring life. He awakens in Aorus, a world full of magic, monsters and dungeons. By a stroke of luck and an ominous skill called "Potential", he awakens a new class never seen before called Dungeonheart (Human). Dungeons, although sentient, are never sapient nor mobile. Join Avan as he pursues his passion for healing and martial arts, and building his very own dungeon at the same time. He’s the hybrid of a moving dungeon and a healer. "Healing Dungeon" will include City building, strategy, very little romance, exploration of the world of Aorus, and a touch of power levelling. (There are elements from other fantasy novels, as well as anime, games, and more). What will all be possible with a dungeon that can move, but still brings some of the familiar dungeon mechanics along for its journey? -- Please note that the beginning and thus the first chapters were really my first writing works in english, and can only be rewritten at a later time (lack of time in favor for new chapters) --(The writing style and also the story improves VERY much from the 12th chapter at the latest! Proofreading is available, but I depend on any well-intentioned advice from you guys). If you have any questions, suggestions, constructive criticism, or just because you feel like it, feel free to leave me a comment below the respective chapters!For every positive and serious review or rating, I am infinitely grateful! ;) I am a creature of few words and the beginning is therefore a little faster than I would have liked it now in retrospect. Please do not expect huge paraphrases and descriptions of the environments, but only what is really necessary to get into the scene. Cheers and hopefully see you in the comment section.
