《Silver》27

Ethan's POV
Silver fell asleep in my arms and I couldn't help but feel pure contentment. Although there was a lunatic on the loose set out to destroy our family I couldn't have felt more at home.
Our family. I thought to myself looking down at her angelic face.
"Daddy!" I heard Aiddan cry out.
Gently I set Silver against the pillows as I slipped out of the bed. Hurriedly I make my way to Aiddan's room. Looking around I made sure nobody was hurting him. As soon as my eyes landed on his small frame standing by his bed I relaxed.
"What is it, Little Man?" I asked softly, squatting down to his level to look at his shy face.
"I-I had an accident." he whispered ashamedly.
Looking at his bed I see that there is a small area of the sheets that were wet. Picking him up I grabbed the edges of the sheets and wrapped them up into a ball. "That's alright. We will just go set them in the washer and you can sleep with mommy and me tonight."
Grinning, he hugged me around my neck. "Thank you!"
"Not a problem." I laugh as I walk us to the laundry room so I could throw the sheets in the washing machine.
As soon as I had done that we made our way to my bedroom. Setting him down by Silver I sat myself on the outside of them. Aiddan curled up against his mother's stomach and she unconsciously pulled him against her chest in an orderly manner. Smiling, I turned out the lights and got into bed behind Silver and drew them both tightly against me.
This is how life should be. Whoever says that fatherhood and having a family is a burden is sorely mistaken. This. This right here is the best thing to happen to me.

With that thought I feel asleep to the sounds of their breathing.
Unknown (G.V.) POV
So, they thought extra security would save them?
A background check?
What am I? An amateur? I know how to pass through people's lives undetected. Call it a skill of mine, a talent.
Laughing I started to type out another letter for my sweet Silver. I was starting to enjoy this game of cat and mouse. Maybe I wouldn't kill them off right away. It was a pleasure to watch Ethan as he struggles to stop me from taking his family away.
As I finished the letter I proofread it to make sure I didn't give my identity away. Sometimes I get carried away with my writings and tell too much about myself. Which also means I tend to have to rewrite my letters. As I made sure there wasn't anything to give me away I pressed the send button on my laptop.
"Sir, would you like to order yet?" A young waitress asked as she looked at me blushing.
Flashing her a brilliant smile I winked at her. "Yeah. You're number."
If I couldn't have Silver now then I might as well have some fun for a while, right?
Laughing, the foolish girl wrote her number down on a napkin and handed it to me. Before she left I ordered a coffee to go. As she went to prepare it I sat back and thought about what I needed to do next.
Hmm? What should I do about that pesky brother of hers? I asked myself.
Smiling to myself I gazed out the window. I mean, freak accidents happen all the time. Especially in New York. Big cities. Big accidents. Maybe a failed robbery that just happens to kill him.

8 4671Not as it seems
Stranded inside the world he'd been writing about for years, Arwen is left at the mercy of the characters and setting he'd so lovingly created. Now trapped and powerless save for his knowledge of the secrets the world holds, he has to find his way back home. Hopefully to make it there in one piece. But things aren't going to be easy, as the further he plunges into his world, the more he will realize things aren't quite what he thought them to be. This story is a case study on a realistic approach to isekai as well as what it means to "know" someone / something, and to "KNOW" them. There will be hard themes and uncomfortable truths, and just like with real life, it will show things as they are unfiltered.
8 162Turn-Based Engineer
When James woke up five years before, he did not expect to end up in this weird, new world. Here, he found a reality filled with queer rules and magic beyond his imagination. Despite all this, he clung to his peaceful roots that he had been brought up with. With his knowledge, he could have changed the world. However, he did not wish to become some reckless adventurer or fearsome ruler; instead, he only sought to protect his loved ones and live a happy life. Sometimes though, the call of adventure forces itself upon even those who desperately wish to refuse. Warning: This story has multiple POVs. (But by chapter 15, it kind of narrows down onto James) This work is (as of now) being co-written by Zalex and Entelechy where Zalex has previously written the story, and Entelechy edits/adds pieces.
