《The Unexpected [M.E]》1
Advertisement
The sound to her alarm clock goes off. Laura groans and ignores the loud beeping. She knows she has to get up, a big day ahead of her. She steps out of her rather large bed and heads downstairs to the kitchen. Her mothers dark cascade hair is her first sight, mug in hand, skimming through the newspaper.
Laura mumbles a, "G'morning,". Thoughts still roam her mind, debating if she should inform her mother that she'll be moving out soon. Going to be independent for the first time in her life. After working during her high school years, she finally managed to save up enough money for her own apartment, perfect size just for her.
Natalia, her mother, replies back with a "Good morning," And continues to sip on her black coffee. The mood between her mother has always been awkward; misunderstanding. They never got a long and always seemed to argue or bicker over notherless subjects.
Still debating, Laura takes out a bowl and searches for her favorite cereal-- Froot Loops.
"Aren't you a little too old to like Froot Loops, Laura?" Her mothers smirk could be heard as she commented on her meal. Starting to take a bite, she spits back with a mock. "Aren't you a little too old to be screwing the mail man?" Natalia spits her coffee back into her cup and Laura continues to eat her delicious cereal with a smirk plastered on her face.
"Stop being rude, I'm still your mother." Laura was already tired from life and her job, and having her mother throw nonsense words at her this early in the morning, wasn't her well, greatest cup of coffee. "Start acting like my mother then, maybe I won't be rude." Finishing up, she walks up stairs and turns her head to the side slightly. "And mom? I'm moving out." With that she jogs up the stairs, hearing her mother already shout at her, from behind her bedroom door. Laura wears her white tee with some skinny jeans and her black converse, grabbing her phone, she glances at the time, seeing she was running late.

Making it downstairs, her mother greets her, once again. Oh the joy. She thinks to herself. "You can't move out Laura." Walking past her, she replies. "Watch me,"
"Laura, it's enough you don't plan on going to college, now this? How do you think you'll make rent? By working at that small clothes place?"
Word after word. Question after question. Complain after complain, she had enough. "I'm moving out mother, and tomorrow." Laura has a heavy feeling resting on her shoulders, thinking this was going all too fast, but she forgets it as it's not the same heavy feeling He left. Swallowing, she gets in her car and drives to her close friend's house.
Picking up her phone, she remembers, today is the four year anniversary of her YouTube channel. When she was just a freshmen, she began a YouTube channel with Dusty, and him. But things changed after he got noticed and her and Dusty were left to watch his fame grow and grow every year. "Aye, you lazy bum, get out of bed, I'm on my way." She laughs at herself, always trying to be British even though it'll never work. Her best friend, grumbles something but she can't quite understand. "Listen, it's not going to work, none of it will if you don't get your ass up," Stopping by the gas station, she gets a quick coffee and contiues her phone call. "Ah, shit," A small bump on the road made the coffee slightly spill out of the cup and she almost drops her phone. "Dusty, I'm almost there, and if you're not out of your damn bed by then, so God help me I don't committee murder this morning."
"Chill, Laura, it's only nine in the goddamn morning," Her groggy morning voice rings through the speaker. "Only nine? Love, today is the big day, now I shall hang up, and you shall take a shower and get ready. Goodbye!"

All her life, she was cheerful. She always wanted to put people in a good mood. She knew what it felt like to be abandoned and alone. To not have that one person by her side when she needed them the most.
Finally making it to her friends house, she uses her spare to get inside. Whistling loudly, she shouts at Dusty from the living room.
"Dusty! The royal pain has arived!" Between laughs she continues. "Today we head to playlist!" Excitement was already bubbling up inside of her. Four years. Four years of laughable moments with her best friend and him. Four years of uncountable videos made with memories and love and happiness.
"Four years," She mumbles to herself. A smile crept on to her lips. "I see you've gone crazy," Her best friend walks out of her room, hair messy and glasses placed lazily on the bridge of her nose.
"Dusty, I said to get ready," She scowls at her best friend.
"Take a chill pill, we're not suppose to be there until 2," Rolling her eyes she replies. "We need to get there early. Especially, when you know who is going to be there," Her mind goes back to a brown eyed guy, brown pushed back hair, tall and broad. "Stop day dreaming, Laura. He probably won't be there," Glancing at her friend she sighs. "He will, trust me."
Note: FIRST CHAPTER OF THE UNEXPECTED! I HOPE YOU ENJOYED IT CONSIDERING THIS IS REALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I WRITE. Alright, enough with the caps. I need to point out that comments and votes will be needed. Yes aha I went there. Until next time, stay in drugs and don't do school ;)

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

My Newest, and at the same time, Oldest novel. This is a Rewrite of my very first novel that I begun when I was just starting out. It follows the story of Mark Floyd, a broken man who once tried to do what he thought was right... only to be stabbed in the back and thrown away.Now, pulled into a conflict that spans time and space, Mark has a choice to make; Stand up once more, even if it means facing an unknowable future, or let the Embers of his heart die and sink back into darkness. ----------------------------------- “For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable men in the furnace of adversity”. Once part of a Special Ops team in the US Army, Mark Floyd thought he had seen the worst that Humanity had to offer. That was until his final mission, one that would leave him a broken and shattered man, betrayed by the Country he served, and abandoned by society as a whole. His dreams filled with nightmares of the ones he failed to protect, mind and memories clouded by booze and more, Mark finds himself stumbling through life without purpose or desire. Life isn't done with Mark yet, however. For as long as even a single ember remains in a persons heart, here is still yet hope for the flames of Passion and Hope to be Rekindled. When the dying embers of Mark's heart catches the eyes of a Being far beyond his understanding, Mark finds himself thrown into a situation not even his years of training could prepare him for. Will this new chance be Mark's hope at both Redemption and Recompense? Or will it simply be the final nail in the coffin for a man already dead to the World? [This is a rework of my very first story. The general story will remain the same, however a few details have been tweaked, the chapters have be Edited better and some chapters have been broken down into smaller chunks for better flow and consistency. The biggest change will be to the System itself; It will be a lot less "Game-like", meaning no stats, levels or similar aspect, though skills will still be present in the form of "Programs". Instead, It'll focus more on the Sigil's nature as super-computers and how they change the world around them. This should make for a much more "natural" and less info-dumpy system.
