《The Unexpected [M.E]》9

Hawaii
Thursday, the arrival.
Laura was hyped as ever. She couldn't wait for her little mini vacation with Matty and Dusty. She was thrilled that they'd spend some more time together before he leaves again. The annoying part though is that Nash was tagging along with Cameron. Cameron wasn't a big deal. Laura came to agree he was a chill dude. But Nash... he's just too much. He curses more than Cameron and Dusty together, talks about more sexual things intended... and is a cocky jerk. So to say the least, Laura couldn't stand his natural existence on planet earth.
How lovely.
She shook the thought away and walked inside her room with Dusty, both of them, setting their luggage down and laying on the bed from a very exhausting flight.
"Goddamm." Laura let out, taking off her glasses. "I'm tired," She lets out with a yawn.
"What?! Oh hell no, you're coming with me, we're gonna have dinner," Laura's best friend starts going on from the bathroom, walking out fully dressed and ready. Laura only groan.
"Dusty, pleaseeee, I'm really tired," Dusty's shoulders slump.
"You must be real tired if you're turning down food," Laura lets out a tired laugh.
"Yes. I am. Just go and tell Matt I said hey,"
Dusty frowns and sits next to Laura. "What's on your mind?" Laura shrugs.
"Tell meeeee," Laura groans with a smirk.
"Stop whining, I have jetlag," Dusty snorts.
"Hawaii was a three hour trip, you can't have jetlag, now.. tell me what's on your mind."
Laura sighs, turning to her side to face Dusty. "I've been thinking about what you said,"
"About getting a new car? Because that piece of junk is literally-"
"Dusty no." Laura cuts her off. "And don't talk bad about my baby." Her best friend grins sheepishly.

"I was talking about what you said before we came here... about me loving Matt." Dusty's gray eyes go wide and she clamps her hand over her mouth.
"You love him?" She whispers.
"I don't know. Like.. I'm so young to love.. how would I know what love is?" Dusty composes herself.
"Laura.. we all have different ideas of love. Sometimes love is something like not being able to live without that person. It's sometimes feeling as if you're not completed if they're not with you. Sometimes.. love is just the way the person makes you laugh until you can't breathe." Laura was starting to feel more overwhelmed because there was a big possibility she's fallen in love with a boy she's known since she was a little kid. Her eyes start to get blurry and she lets out this squeak.
"I don't wanna cry," She whispers to her best friend.
"Then don't."
"I'm scared. I've never felt this way towards anyone before..I don't want to get hurt, Dust." Dusty plays with her hair, sighing with a sad smile.
"Sometimes, the worst part of falling in love is getting hurt, but in the end it's worth all the pain. Trust me love," Laura sniffles and nods her head. She flutters her eyes closed drifting off into a deep sleep, while Dusty puts a blanket over leaving the room to the guys.
Dusty was worried about her best friend. She wanted her to be happy and actually embrace her feelings. But she won't say a damn word to Matty. It's obvious he has some type of affection towards her, the way he tries to make her smile it's adoring. The way he looks at her.. every girl wants to be looked at like that. And Laura is too blind to see that.

Literally.

The way to the beach was kind of Turing considering the flight but Dusty couldn't wait to see Cameron. They started to develop feelings for one another. She could tell Cameron had a thing for her, but she was never the one to admit things first.
When Dusty got to the shore she already saw the guys setting up and getting things ready for the small together. Matthew saw her coming and frowned. "Where's Lo?" He asked, walking towards Dusty.
"She's, uh not feeling well," I lied, partially. Dusty knew Laura was having a war with her feelings right now and needed some alone time.
"I'll go see her," Worry flashed all over Matt, and before Dusty could protest, Matthew was already running back to the hotel.
---
Laura was having a hard time sleeping. She wanted this god awful headache to go away. She wished she didn't feel this way. She wished her feelings for Matt would fade. She wished she didn't care that having him feel the same way mattered. She wished that she could disappear at this moment.
But she couldn't. And she hated the way she was feeling. Ever since Matthew came back into her life, things have been harder. She's fighting this war inside of her heart.
She couldn't bare it at all. She despised every inch of it. She hated when Matthew would be near her, causing this electrifying feeling in her soul, like both of them were setting off charges. She hated the way he made her feel and she wanted it all to go away.
Sadly we don't get what we want all the time.
Moments later she hears the door open, not bothering to look the other side. "Dusty, I told you I'm not feeling well, you-"
"I think it's sad you get my gender wrong, Lo," Laura's heart stops beating and she furrows her brows together.
Turning to the other side and sitting up, "How'd you get in?" She noticed the shirt Matt was wearing wasn't buttoned and his toned abdomen was bare. His skin was flawless with freckles here and there.
He smiles sheepishly. "I uh got a spare key," Laura rolls her eyes with a small smile.
"Anyways, are you feeling alright?"
"What makes you think-"
"I came barging in and you said you weren't feeling well and Dusty said you weren't feeling well, too."
I snort. "There you go then." Her chest felt like it was caving in just looking at him. So she decided to close her eyes. She felt the bed dip beside her and she huffed.
"Matt, can you leave. Please." It was more of a demand than a question.
"No." He said bluntly.
"Seriously-" Laura turns to face him to have his own face proximity close to hers. Dangerously. A small breath left her mouth and looked into his eyes. The color of them never ceasing to take her breath away.
His hand rested on Laura's, her mouth parting.

Saga of Fallen Kings, Book I: The Revenant Prince
The Philosopher King once conquered the known world, his power seemingly unlimited and his armies inexhaustible. Since that time his might has slowly unravelled, and his once steadfast empire has begun to crack, splinter and devour itself. In the isolated Southern Realms, where even magic has abandoned them, none of that matters. For years it has been filled with warring kingdoms, where as many kings die to the blade as to old age, and constant battles tear apart the land. When one such kingdom invades its old enemy, the King and his heir, Prince Caden, are killed. Unable to accept the loss of his family Prince Arian is broken, and when the Philosopher King stretches out his hand in aid, Arian takes it without a second thought. When Caden wakes from death, he's different. His eyes and soul have changed, and he finds a world filled with friends who no longer trust he's even human. Suddenly thrust onto the throne and indebted to the Philosopher King, Caden has no choice but to keep going - he must finish what his father started, and try to survive the machinations of the figure who now owns his fealty. Meanwhile something beyond death stirs for him, desiring nothing more than to drag him back into its embrace. Author's Note: This story used to be known as "A King of his Own", but after some consideration I have decided to rebrand it. The first reason is that I was growing increasingly dissatisfied with the title. The second is that I have come increasingly to view this story as a 'saga' containing multiple 'books' rather than one long, continuous publication, and as I did so I realized that as I was quickly getting to a point in the story where I wanted the first 'book' to end. This doesn't mean I'm going back on the things I said below - they're just going to continue in the next book of the Saga of Fallen Kings. :) Also, be aware that I do plan to edit this at some point. Though I take care to squash out any obvious errors when I proof-read, and do simple edits in that process, at some point I'm almost certainly going to do large edits that might significantly change parts of the story. Old author's notes: This started as a completely random writing session. There was no purpose or direction, but as I kept typing an entire world began to form in my mind that I knew I had to write about. My plan is to turn this story into a veritable medieval fantasy epic that spans an entire world, follows multiple character and storylines, and takes place over many years. The story has quite a grounded, almost 'realistic' start, but many more fantastical elements will be introduced, expanded upon and become central to the narrative. I have ideas for this story that make me genuinely excited and I hope you enjoy my work as much as I enjoy writing it, and join me on what will hopefully become a truly massive fantasy epic. If you do enjoy this story please consider following, rating and leaving a review. I'm also happy to answer any questions or comments you have.

Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler. (And for the best reading experience I recomend altering your width setting to about 70 or 80 percent on desktop.) Table of Contents: Prologue Part 1: Homecoming (chapters 1-12) Part 2: Journey (chapters 13-25) About 70 percent complete. I'll update this figure over time and begin posting again after I finish it and go through several rounds of editing.
