《1974 - A David Bowie Fanfic.》Problems.

Ros Chester POV.
The tear falls from my face and splashes on my hand that holds David's desperately.
I could barely believe what I was about to tell him. My heart thudded and I finally find the courage to tell him.
"I'm ." I breathe my last word, full of emotion.
I could see it all... His heart must be bursting open... Or did it smash...? Mine broke for him... him...!
"Jesus Christ..." He breathes and puts his hand over his mouth to hide the shock.
He finally takes a deep breath. "Who's the-" He starts.
"Yours." I say shortly. "I would never let Kevin touch me like that..." I trails off.
"Ros... A He breathes with a little smile.
"I'm almost 19 David..." I mutter. "And I'm carrying the most idolised man of the 70's child... I just don't know what to do..."
For once, David didn't know what to tell me... He was thinking it all through... He was 27, ...! If the press knew about this, his career would be forever gone... The career he worked so hard for...! And I could ruin that... Just because of a night in New York...
"What do you want to do with it?" He asks me cautiously.
"I don't know David, I'm only a month in...!" I snap which clearly surprises him. "I'm sorry..."
"It's ok, I understand..." He says soothingly.
"Do you?" I mumble. "How can you understand an 18 year old girl from South London who is carrying your child...?"
"Because Rosalind Chester, I'm in love with you." David says in his beautiful British accent.
I can't hide the feeling it gives me and I throw my arms around his neck and pull him close to me.
This is , I'm just some South London girl, how did this all happen...? Just over 6 months ago, David had no idea who I was, and I was just in my own world with his music. Now I his world, and everything in it, including David himself.

"Does Kevin know?" David says with a hint of spite.
"No. Because I know he'd ask whose it is..."
"Ros, I know I said I don't care about fame but-"
"Your secrets safe with me." I say shortly.
There's a silence for awhile, almost an awkward one. He wanted to keep this out of the public's eye. We didn't know what to say to each other...
"How long are you in Brixton for?" I purr.
"Depends."
"On what?" I ask puzzled.
"How long you need me for." He smiles his crooked smile that I missed so much and I can't help but smile back.
"You know I need you more than ever right now." I say honestly.
"I can't let him touch you again, not now that I know you have my child inside you... He shouldn't have even touched you in the first place..." David starts to babble angrily.
"Thanks for saving me... " I mutter and see his face soften and his angry lined mouth soon turns into a smirk. "And for punching him." I wink and he chuckles slightly.
"Someone had to do it." He sighs loudly. "But I'm serious Ros, he cannot come anywhere near you anymore."
"Then what? Bring up the child on my own?"
"I-" David starts but someone taps loudly on the door.
David sighs and goes to open the door, I suddenly hear a loud thud. I run into the hall way and see David holding his jaw crying in pain on the floor.
"" I screech horrified to see him hurt.
I run over to him and look up to see Kevin angry as a bull. David was barely conscious...
"David, can you hear me...?!" I try to ignore the fact Kevin is inches from me.

"Come on my love, " Kevin grabs my waist and pulls me from David.
I kick and scream loudly like a child, tears streaming down my face...
"I CAN'T LEAVE HIM HERE!" I howl at Kev.
"Oh yes you can." He spits.
I wriggle out of his hold and run back to David, I lock the door behind me so Kev can't get in. He bangs hard with his fist against the door and I'm scared again... I reach for the phone and dial 3 numbers...
"Police?" I ask down the phone hurriedly.
"My boyfriend just attacked a man and I have my boyfriend outside banging at my door."
I listen to their reply and finally say a thank you. David wakes up and looks confused to me. "Ros..." He mumbles but I hush him.
"It's ok..." I tell him. "Let's get you onto the sofa." I put his arm around my small shoulders and drag him to the sofa I was lying on less than 10 minutes ago.
Kevin is still banging on the door, still scaring me. "I love you." He tells me putting his hand on my cheek.
"I love you too." I kiss his head and close the door to the living room.
I walk slowly down the hallway and open the door to see Kevin looking angry still. He picks me up again aggressively and I hold my breath.
"Kev," I say quietly but softly. "Put me down for a second..."
Unbelievably, he does as I ask, and puts me down on the pavement. I wipe my eyes and look up to him. I see his eyes turn warm, and for some odd reason ?
"Ros," He mutters.
In the distance I hear the police car. "I'm pregnant." I mutter smoothly, the more times I say it out loud, the more it becomes real... I see his warming eyes turn ice cold and full of anger.
"You little wh-" He raises his hand and I close my eyes preparing for the blow.
"STOP!" I open my eyes again and see the flashing blue lights outside of David's house and the police grabbing Kevin's arms, restraining him to even lay a finger on me.
"C'mon son, let's calm down, shall we?" The police say with a very London accent and Kevin is put in the back of the car. He looks longingly at me, and I can't help but feel the guilt creep over me...
"I'm so proud of you my darling." David whispers and wraps his arms around me and we watch the police take Kevin away. "I told you I'd get rid of all your problems..."
"We still have one more problem..." I turn around to him and look down at my stomach.

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

Hey, what would you do after you got isekai-ed? Me? Look! A cockroach villain has appeared. Let's kill him before he messes things up. Too cruel? That kind of character is always introduced to be killed by the protagonist anyway so I'm doing the world a favor here. Less CO2 emission. It's time to "Go Green" guys, even in another world. See over there, that's a trash young master type right there. What do I do? Endure the initial insults and provocation then dispose of him when no one sees of course. Why make things difficult? Hmm, a pretty girl in peril. Potential love interest there… but no, I have enough problems as it is. At the very least, I won't help her just 'cause she's a female. Same goes for males. What? I support gender equality. Hey, I know the clichés, what did you think I was going to do? Simply let it run its course? Well duh, I'll twist it to my benefit. ************************************************ -This is a power fantasy story. Weak to strong, strong to stronger. -The MC is very genre savvy and a hardcore internet citizen.-English is not my first language, apologies for the imperfections.

A Broken World [Rewrite]
In a world of floating islands of stone in the sky, where rivers flow through the air and defy gravity from one island to another, and ancient ruins can be found containing wonders beyond what can be produced by the lands current inhabitants- a millenia long war rages. In the distant past, beyond recorded history, when the crown of humanity's glory, the city of Uri, had stood whole against the enroaching demon swarms- even as hope seemed lost, a band of heroes, against all odds, managed to steal powerful magical knowledge from the demons. With the demon's forbidden knowledge, in the heart of Uri a new ritual was made. Called, "The Millenial Summoning," the ritual had the power to call a being from another world that would have the power to change the world forever. The first being summoned became known as "The Speaker," and he brought the power of the Gods to the world. With the blessings and power of the new priests, the unstoppable demon hordes were finally halted. A thousand years later, the ritual was used again and "The First Sorceress" was brought to the world. She brought the knowledge of advanced magics, and techniques to find and refine magical talent. With the magic power now added to the battlefield, the stalemate was broken. And for the first time, the demons were pushed back. Another thousand years later, and all of humanites hope for a final victory were dashed. Traitors slew the ritual's participants and took their places, and humanity quaked as The Demon King stepped into the world. His name, his nature, where he came from none of these are known, but what is known is his overwhelming power and his brilliant strategic leadership of the formerly formless hordes. Still, despite their position being even more dire than it has ever been since history has been recorded, humanity held on for another thousand years. Aided, thankfully, by The Demon King not taking the field after the first few years and battles. Now, the ritual is being cast again and a new hero is being summoned. In our world, after nearly three decades of study and hard work, Lucas Jaeger is making his dreams come true. With a double doctorate in both genetics and microbiology, as well as an associates degree in accounting, he has finally, after nearly driving himself mad from stress and sick from overwork, been able to put to together a presentation and ask for a business loan. His long time dream, earned by his own blood and sweat, to start his own commercial genetic company is finally coming to fruition. Lucas's car never left the banks parking lot and Lucas was never seen again in our world. This is a rewrite of "A Broken World." It is basically the same story, just a thousand times better and with decent length chapters!
