《Sarafina De Luca》Chapter 12
Advertisement
It's Sunday right now. School is starting tomorrow most people would be nervous but I don't see the point to be nervous about school.
Dimitri hasn't contacted me and Gavino is okay. He is mostly doing Mafia business and all.
Right now I'm sitting in the kitchen counter with all the boys who are eating like pigs.
"So Sarafina are you nervous about school?" Antonio asked
"No" I answered shortly after getting back to eating my food.
Gavino glanced at my direction and then back at his food.
What was that about? I was done with food so I stood up placed my dish on the sink.
"I'm tired I'm going to go to bed" I saY
"Okay, but tomorrow I want you to meet me at my office before you head to school" Antonio informs
I nodded my head and headed up stairs
I did my night routine very fast and went straight to bed just when I was about to sleep my phone rang and I groaned when I saw the caller ID
"What" I ask annoyed
"AREN'T YOU EXCITED FOR SCHOOL TOMORROW" Brianna yelled from the other end of the phone.
I removed the phone away from my ears.
Damn this bitch can scream.
"Shut the fuck up. My poor eardrums." I say while rubbing my ears
"Whatever" I can feel her roll her eyes even from here.
"Did you call me to remind me we are going to hell tomorrow or did you need something?" I asked
"Of course not, I just wanted to tell you that we will be at the hideout after school you coming?" She asked I thought about it.
"Yeah I'll be there" I reply
we need to be ten times ahead of Dimitri knowing him he is probably planning something. I cut the call and went to sleep.
_______ __________ ___________ ___________ ________
"Piece of shit."
"Your useless no wonder no one wanted you."
"Why don't you just strangle yourself and die."
The different voices continued while flashbacks appeared in my head of the times I wanted to die and leave the pain behind. I woke up and sat straight panting heavily as sweat covered my face dripping down my face to my neck.

I turned my head to the side to check the time. Great just great.
I won't be able to sleep now so I walked out to get a glass of water. I reached the kitchen, walked to the fridge, removed the jug of water and got a glass.
I placed the glass of water on the counter and poured the water on the glass. I took the glass and took a sip and turned around to lean on the counter.
I turned around only to be met with Leonard.
I jumped. The glass slipped from my hands but because of quick reflexes I saved the glass from falling.
"What the hell?" I whisper-yell glaring at Leonard who was staring at the glass of water and then he looked up.
I saw his face full of bruises and cuts
"What the fuck happened to your face?" I asked
he glared at me
"None of your damn business" He said harshly
he walked to the fridge more like limping to the fridge then I saw the reason to his limping.
He was stabbed. I rushed to him and examined his wound. "What are you doing?" He said, trying to push me away. Key word trying.
"Stop it and let me help" I said trying to help him
"I don't want your help" He said rudely
"You don't want help but you need help" I say
I helped him to the living room and made him sit at the sofa
"Stay" I pointed at him he rolled his eyes
"It's not like I can walk" He said Matter-of-Factly now it was my turn to roll my eyes.
I went back to the kitchen and grabbed some alcohol and a first aid kit.
I walked back to the living room to see Leonard holding his wound which is on his torso. I opened the bottle of alcohol before I could do anything the bottle was snatched out of my hand.
I saw as Leonard took a big sip out of the bottle before he could take his second sip I snatched the alcohol roughly and poured it in his wound he hissed in pain

"What the hell is your problem" He whisper-yelled shutting his eyes tightly and clenching his jaw.
I smirked, "What" I asked innocently
he glared at me.
I placed the towel on his wound and applied pressure on it.
He winced "Keep holding this and put some pressure on it." I said then I took the first aid kit and removed the bandage out of it.
I took the towel away. The bleeding stopped then I started to bandage his wound. After that I treated his bruises on his face.
"Done" I said while clapping my hands up and down.
I placed my hand on my hip and tapped my foot on the floor.
He raised his eyebrows "What the hell. How the hell. Who the hell did this?" I asked waiting patiently for his answer.
"Fuck off" He replies while getting up he was about to walk out
"Look Leonard I don't know why you hate me but you coming at 3 in the morning all beaten up I should know at least how it happened" I said he turned around I could see a flash of hurt in his eyes but it was gone quickly and placed with anger.
"Why don't you mind your damn business. Now, why don't you tell me what your hiding from all of us. Tell me Sarafina. Tell me your biggest secrets" He says angrily I stood there looking emotionlessly he waited a moment
"Exactly" He said and with that he walked out.
What the hell just happened?
I was walking to Antonio's office right now. I don't exactly know what he would want to talk about in the morning.
I reached the door before I could knock.
I heard a faint 'come in'
I opened the door and saw Antonio doing some paperwork. He looked up and motioned me to sit on the seat opposite his desk.
Yeah, no. Instead of sitting on the seat opposite his desk I took the couch he looked up and raised his eyebrows
"What?" He shook his head "I called you here because I wanted to discuss somethings" He says clearing his throat I nodded my head and motioned him to continue
"I've seen your other school record and I'm impressed I want you to continue like this but there is a slight problem with your attendance and it looked like you were quite a trouble maker" He said
I smirked
"I want you to take all your classes from now on and stay out of trouble" He continued off
"And No boys don't talk to any of them only if necessary. Now you may go your brothers are going to take you to school" He finished off
"Wait." I start looking down then back up during my dramatic pause
"How am I supposed to stay away from trouble, when trouble finds its way to me" I say with a smirk while pointing at me.
He sighed "It's to early for this Sarafina, Just go" He says while rubbing his temples this just made my smirk widen
"Have a nice day brother" I said fake saluting on my way out I saw the small smile that made its way to his face and that made me smile too.
I made my way downstairs to the kitchen and saw Gavino on his laptop.
"Good morning," I said to him.
He looked up and slightly smiled. He looked tired, he had dark bags under his eyes and he looked slightly pale
"Gavino are you okay?" I asked him
"What do you mean?" He asked furrowing his eyebrows
"You just look tired" I said getting slightly worried
"Oh it's nothing just stressed" He said I nodded my head "You should take some rest like this your hair will turn white from stress" I say imagining Gavino with white hair which almost made me laugh.
I heard a car honk and knew it was my brothers so I quickly said bye to Gavino and headed out and to hell I called school.
Here I come.

Summon Imp!
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns in his own world as well as in other worlds as he gets summoned again and again. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, but it's never certain what the next one will bring. It has its perks. With each new world comes a new story with new experiences and new lessons. There is always more to see, more to learn and more to know. Maybe, someday, it will all make sense. For now he will just work hard to become stronger, to be useful and, hopefully, survive that way. A coming-of-age story, but different. Things start to slow down to a crawl. Colors blur into one another until my vision is completely white. All I can think is "Shit, not this again!" I hate being summoned. _________________________________ updates once a week until I get more time The idea for this story began in two places. One was the ridiculously rapid pace of gaining power in many novels. Both in games and in novels, I enjoy the struggle of the beginning character, why always the rush? The other was the way many monster or non-human MCs always seem to hurry to become human (again). It always felt like a cheap way to grant the character extra powers without the difficulty of writing a non-standard thought process. Thus I wanted to write the slow(ish) progression of a monster character gaining strength and intelligence, while remaining distinctly non-human. There are no stats, xp or systems, no reincarnated soul or completely formed being to start with - unless I want to make fun of those. While the MC 'evolves', the process takes months if not years to proceed step by little step. Sit down with me and imagine, what would it be like if...

Points of Light - An Oral History of the Collapse
Humanity endures. The phrase is not only an informal slogan of the reformed United Nations, but a rallying cry the world over. Even in the face of extermination, we struggled, we fought, and we endured. But just how close did we actually come? In our darkest hour, how many steps separated our species from oblivion? And are we even safe now? Were the mistakes made by earlier generations really so obvious? Or are they only so blatent when we look back with the advantage of hindsight? If so, what horrors might be staring us in the face even now that no one has the foresight to prevent? Drawn from thousands of interviews, as well as uncorrupted contemporary recordings and source documentation dating back to the early 2000s; Points of Light is a definative look at the last half century of upheaval, prosperity and carnage. It tells the tale of what happened, how it happened, who was responsible and most importantly, what we might be able to do to prevent it from happening again. This is a rewrite of a previously started fiction under a pen-name. Chapters will be updated every two days at 6:00 EST.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
