《Lasted • Tuck Everlasting》The Wanderers
Advertisement
Everyone had finally gotten home and had fallen asleep. The young girl sat outside with Charlie since the two of them couldn't sleep. At dinner, Mae explained the story of how they all became immortal, which meant more conversation topics.
"So, what's your name?" The girl asked as she laid in the grass under the trees.
"I'm Charlotte, but everyone just calls me Charlie." Charlie introduced as she held her hand out to have it shaken, but the girl just gave her a high-five. Winnie used to do the same thing. "What's your name?"
The girl tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. "Kerena. My name's Kerena." Charlie smiled as she watched the girl slowly open up to her. "Why'd you want to become immortal?" Kerena asked as Charlie let out a breath.
"Well, I had a sister named Winifred Foster, and-"
Kerena's eyes lit up as she smiled. "You're sister was Mrs Foster? She lived in the same neighborhood as my parents when they were little! My mom would always talk about her and all the cool things she did! Her stories were amazing." Kerena went on and on about how much she loved the stories about Winnie, which slowly made Charlie's smile fade. "It must have been so much fun being her sister."
"Excuse me." Charlie quickly said as she stood up and ran back into the house. She traveled up the stairs to the room that her and Miles were sharing. Miles was reading in bed when he looked up to see his wife sobbing.
"What's wrong?" Miles asked as tears poured out of Charlie's eyes as she walked over to her husband for comfort.
Miles wrapped his arms around Charlie, comforting her as best he could. "I miss her so much." The two embraced each other as Charlie slowly started to calm down. "The girl's name is Kerena. She mentioned how her parents knew Winnie. I freaked out and ran up here." Charlie explained as she wiped her sleeve. "Kerena is a nice kid though. She was sorry about punching me."

"Yeah? We should probably try and figure out where she lives so we can get her back to her parents." Miles suggested which received a nod from Charlie. The couple headed downstairs and walked outside to see Kerena sitting against the side of the house. "Hey there."
Kerena looked up at Miles and gave him a kind smile. "What's up?"

Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero (Update 09/19/21)
(Updated 09/19/21) Hello and welcome. If you made it this far and the book title sounds interesting, I'm hoping you'll read a few chapters. Here's a sample from chapter 1 of "Dreams or Another World - Not a Zero."Slowly starting to wake up, I become aware. It's like coming out of a fog.Head hurts.Body hurts.There's a conversation in the room. This isn't my bed. Someone is touching my arm. I crack my eyes to look. She doesn't notice. Is she praying for me? Her hands do feel good…do feel... Slipping back unconscious, my eyes slowly close. I didn't notice the soft green glow under Jenn’s hands.*******************"It does look like he saved them or at least stalled them long enough for us to get there." says the man dressed more like a park ranger than an officer of the law. "I did think he was part of it at first" he continues "but the evidence shows he wasn't there and they were certainly fighting on that back road where we found them""I don't care who he is." says a woman as she enters the room. "He saved and protected my Jenn. I will make sure there's not a mark or a scar on him before he leaves". As she continues the few steps over to the men speaking, even though dressed simply in common clothes, there is no doubt the race of elves is in her heritage. The grace and lines of her form. The elegance and lightness of her step. She glances at her daughter, still watching over the young man in the bed. "Do we know who he is yet?" she asks no one in particular."Not yet dear" a man in a white coat responds. A handsome middle-aged man. Fit, but not that of a fighter or ranger. "I asked Talon to bring another identification stone with him. I was hoping ours was just broke, but it's reading the same.""What do you think is wrong?" Talon asks."I'm thinking we just have to wait until he recovers. I have heard of cases where the stone didn't work. Powerful spells can hide or wipe a person clean. I doubt he's a spy or a criminal. Spells like that are just too high level if, they're used at all. My best guess is, there is just some disconnect with him being unconscious. When he wakes, we can ask him or use the stone again then."I find myself waking up in a hospital bed. The attending Doctor finds it odd that he cannot identify my class. An Officer says I’m a Hero for saving a girl from being kidnapped, but he’s asking too many questions for my liking. I know an accusing tone when I hear it. I don’t remember any of it and I need to find my way home.Author’s notes. Original work. First draft and update of chapters 1-16. Inspired by various fantasy games and books. Written with a focus on character development and interaction. Combat, progression, leveling, classes, but no numbers or stats. I’ll try to keep the language clean, PG-13, no smut. I’m in the US, writing in English. Almost fifty chapters are completed as I pen this introduction. I intend to complete this story or at least bring it to a proper ending. I have a destination in mind. I find as I write, doors and ideas open, while others close and are discarded. The tentative release schedule will be once a week. I'm new to creating. My apologies now while I learn. I have not settled on a book cover or artwork, still looking for something that fits. Registered & Protected #20VjeKDv2U6nynW6
