Jacob is here in the loop again. I have to do something to make him leave once and for all. And I know just what to do to make that happen.
Everyone is doing their own thing right now. Great timing, maybe no one will notice what I will do.
Right now, I am working on my homunculi, until Olive and Jacob went in the room. "Come on Jake, meet Enoch properly." Olive said. I sighed, I don't want to see him, but Olive is bringing him to me. "I will warn you right now, you may not like my peculiarity."
"Scissors." I said. Olive placed it on my palm. I used it to open the chest of an old doll I used to reincarnated before. I placed a rat heart on it's chest. I did the same on the other. Then, I controlled it and rose it from the dead.
"H-h-ow d-did yo-u do t-hat?" Jacob asked. I looked at him, I knew this is gonna be his reaction. "This isn't even the fun part Jake. Do you wanna see the fun part?" I said, in a taunting voice.
Even though we know he is scared, he nodded. I whispered a command to the dolls. It looked at each other, then started fighting each other. Olive squealed and clapped her hands. When the fight was over, Jacob just looked at us and walked out of the room.
"Um, Enoch, I'll be outside too." Olive said. I started cleaning my table. Then finally answered, "Alright, go." I only looked up when I know she already left. Then, when I know the coast is clear, I get enough of the thing I needed and get it ready. I will just need the right time to do it.

I looked for Miss P after a few minutes after Enoch showed me his peculiarity. And obviously, it's creepy. Once I found Miss P, I immediately asked my question. "Miss Peregrine, who's Barron?"
When I asked it she looked at my hands, which is holding the letter I got from my first visit here. "First of all, Mr. Portman, you shouldn't have snatched this letter. And Mr. Barron is once was a peculiar like us." She said, angry at first.

I then got another question. "What do you mean 'once was'? What happened to him?" I asked, again. She sighed, I guess she didn't want me to ask that question. "Jacob.......it's best for you to not know." Miss P said calmly. I got a little angry because of this.
"What do mean 'best for you to not know'?! My grandfather sent me here to know everything he knew! To make my questions answered, so, why are you not answering them, huh?!?!" I exclaim, letting my anger out. "I am truly sorry Jake, I have to go." She left, before I even said anything.
I sighed to myself.
So much for expecting answers.
"Oh how sad. I can't help but hear your outburst. Would you like me to be the one to show you something that might help you your question?" Enoch said, suddenly appearing behind me.
Answer to my question. Why would I say no?
I thought. "Sure. Just be sure this will help me." I said, trying to be threatening. I think he almost laughed. "Course I'm sure." Then he added. "There is someone you didn't met yet. His name's Victor, Victor Bruntley. Bronwyn's brother." He said.
That's right. Nobody said a thing about Victor for like...............ever.
I nodded. "Alright. Lead the way." He started walking. He went up the stairs. A lot of turns. Until, we reached Victor's room, well that's what I think it is anyway.
When we were about 15 inches away, somebody saw us.
"Enoch!!!" A lady's voice said. She went pass Enoch and me, while doing it, I saw red hair. Olive. She put both of her hands out, stopping us from going in the room.
"What Olive?!?!" Enoch said a little annoyed. "You know that you're not supposed to be here!!!" Olive spat back. They're staying a little quiet before it's Miss P who hear them.
"I know. So? Do I have to care?" Enoch said, I just looked at them both. "Yes you should!!! You know Miss P forbid you to go to that room!!! You know who would be upset!!! And you know my reason for stopping you to do it!!!" Olive shouted at him. This is the first time for me to see her like this.

"Yes, I know." He said, emotionless.
"If you do, then you do know I will be broken if you do what I know you will do!!!! Enoch he was our friend!!! He our friend!!! Or you're just too cold to realize that!!! Maybe I am his friend!!! And not you!!!" Olive said, and for once, I saw an emotion on Enoch's face. Guilt.
Before anyone has a chance to talk, she added. "If you're gonna be like that!!! Then maybe, I don't want to be your friend!!!" Then she pushed pass us and walked away.
The next time, it's Fiona who got to see us. "Enoch, you know that Bronwyn don't like it when we bother Victor." Fiona said. "Don't you think Jake here needs to meet everyone?" Enoch said.
Fiona has no answer to that, instead she said, "Jake, ignore what Enoch said. Come and play with us instead." She smiled to convince me.
"No, sorry Fiona. I would really lobe to meet Victor." I told her. Enoch immediately got something to say to make Fiona leave. "See Fiona, he wants to. Now run off!" He said. Fiona got nothing else to say, she just run off like Enoch said.
Enoch opened the door. "Hello Victor. I am Jacob, sorry if I'm interrupting-" Enoch cut me off before I got to finish my sentence. "Just shut up. He can't hear you." He said. By that, I know what he meant. Victor's dead. "Oh." Was all the reply I could muster. Then, Enoch mentioned to me to go closer to Victor. I did.
I saw a heart in Enoch's hand.
He placed it on Victor's chest. Which is disgusting by the way. Then, he stood up, and concentrated. Victor immediately sprung up, head down. He looked at me. I don't know if that possibly because...
...HE DOESN'T HAVE EYES!!! It's more creepier because he said, "Hello Jake, I'm Victor. Do you want to know what killed me?" I immediately ran out of the room.
~*~*~
~*~*~
Hah! He's so scared!!! I wish that would be enough. I looked back at Victor, I saw a tear fell from his eyes.
*sighs* Yeah, what kind friend am I? Why did I continue it anyway?!?! I know it would hurt Victor!!!! Ugh!!!! Idiot! I'm an idiot!!!!
I hatred myself for doing this. Maybe Olive is right. No! Not maybe! Olive is right!!!! "I'm so sorry Victor." I mumbled. *sighs* No one will see me like this again. Yes, I am sorry about Victor. But no one cares that I am rude anyway. I thought about this, and everything about me is back to normal.
Normal, as in Rude, Cold, and nobody's friend.

~*~*~
When I was walking around the house, I passed Victor's room. I went in, he's the peculiar that passed away because of wights. When I looked at him, he have tears in his eyes. He must be in pain. Enoch rose him from the dead again!!!
I need to talk to Mr. O'connor later. I hugged Victor and fight my tears back. "I am so sorry Victor. If I kept an eye on you better, you wouldn't be dead. I am truly sorry." I said I let few of my tears to fall. I tucked him in the bed again. And then left the room, I need to talk to Enoch.
~*~*~
~*~*~
How could he do that to our friend? Is he oblivious that whenever he rose him from the dead, he cries? Maybe he knows but doesn't care!!! How could he?!?! *sighs* If only you could help me Victor. I wish you're here.
~*~*~
Hello Everyone!!!! I'm so thankful for the support. Thank You everyone!!!

Death Becomes Him: An Age of Steam and Sorcery Novel
What does a highschool boy do when his life spirals out of control? Play video games, of course! What happens when the game starts to play you back though?

Debut: the day every young gentleperson of age gathers to receive their Spirit Blessing and shift for the first time into their second form. Except for those who don't. Beatrice's worst fear is to be one of the unlucky few trapped perpetually in a human body, cut off from the magic of the spirits and unfit for any respectable pack or pride. But when the time comes to face her fear, the outcome is one she never could have imagined. Be warned, this story is some highly experimental fluff—an unapologetically girly, unrelentingly bisexual, Regency/Victorian-ish fantasy mish-mash. It does have a dark side, though, so don’t come in expecting all sunshine and roses. Worthy of note, given the reputation of shifter stories: there will be no explicit sex in this tale. There will, however, be lots of polyamorous romance, necromancy, portal magic, capricious spirits, elemental mages, an unconventional take on shifters and a highly ordered society built around their existence.
8 66Black Wind, White Lotus
In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream. ....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man. This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilisation, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost. This story also features multiple character pov, and will not always follow the perspective of the mc- there are two major plotlines, one connected to conspiracy and war ongoing in the political background of the presented world, and the other focusing on the main character's physical and metaphorical journey.

Jack Bauer and his unit must prevent it before it's too late, but soon Jack finds out that something bigger is going on and that the people who he really trust might be not who they seem to be. A very suspense story with a lot of twist and shocking moments that always has something going on. A day in Jack Bauer's life while he is trying to stop one of the biggest threat that America have known. With Chloe O'brian, Tony Almeida, David palmer and a lot of new characters that I have created.
8 256Chronicles of a Fallen Matriarch
With trouble as her only constant bedmate, the only aim, after being exiled, was to spend her life in peace and relative obscurity. A chance encounter brought back memories of her lost love. The more she pursued her lost love, the more question she faced and the people who were close to her are not what they appear to be. Even in exile, her constant bedmate would not stop. Now, being hunted, embroiled in an age-old conspiracy, torn apart by various factions, how is a lone drow to survive? Of course, by doing what she did best, raising an army. For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury. ===== Series Info======= The world-building is a combination of DnD, Pathfinder and Elderscrolls. Though I prefer to take a few liberties if possible. The yuri/GL Is an extremely slow burn one and the focus is more on the relationship dynamics than romance. =====Author Notes===== This is my first writing attempt, and in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a native English speaker and I am hoping to use this chance to improve my writing. Constructive criticisms are always welcome. I have a full-time job but I would try to keep the releases consistent.
8 105Dust and Glory
A century after World War III left the planet a nuclear wasteland, earth is nearly unrecognizable. Alien ‘Benefactors’ have taken control of North America’s most populous cities and built indomitable walls around them, defending their inhabitants but trapping them under a totalitarian rule. Outside these citadels, chaos reigns, led by the mutants of the wasteland; cultists, raiders, and canibal clans. Glory, a rogue android, is roaming the wastes after escaping her sadistic “father”. Alone and reeling from the effects of a previously sheltered life, her only ray of hope is Reza City, built upon the ruins of what used to be Phoenix, Arizona. True, the Benefactors have a strict ban on self-aware artificial intelligence in place, but that should only prove an issue if they realize she’s an AI. The real problem is what lurks outside the city: over a million square miles of harsh, unyielding desert. And slinking between the dunes and the fissures are the mutants, looking for an easy victim.
