《Dark Roses #Wattys2019》Chapter 23
Advertisement
I was currently at lunch with Nina, Danny, Tia, and Jackson. Hanna had the stomach flu so she's been gone for the past couple of days. As a group, we delivered flowers and chocolate covered strawberries to her. She really appreciated it, and we all hope she gets well soon.
"Guys we should all plan another sleepover soon!" Nina exclaimed slamming her hands on the table. We all looked at her in a "what the heck?" type of way.
"Aggressive much?" Jackson joked. We all laughed. Nina rolled her eyes.
"I'm just saying that we should have a sleepover soon, it would be f-u-n."
I noticed Jackson's face light up. Oh no.
"Becauseeeeee f is for friends who do-"
"Jackson shutup!" Tia interrupted him before he could break out into the whole spongebob song. Thank you Tia.
I feel like having another sleepover would be good for all of us, it's been a while.
"I agree with you Nina, another sleepover would be great for all of us, whose house should it be at this time though?" I questioned while taking a bite out of my pepperoni pizza.
"Yours of course, the t.v in your family room is huge." Danny spoke. Everyone nodded their heads. Speaking of Danny, I'm going to have to ask him about how he felt after hanging out with Nina last week. They mostly went off by themselves during skating, so that means they had time to bond right?
While everyone continued talking about planning our upcoming sleepover, I noticed Eli walking towards our table. I zoned out everyone else talking, and only focused my attention towards him. He looked completely uncomfortable.
Eventually when he reached our table, everyone stopped talking.
"Rose, I'm sorry I haven't spoken to you lately but..."
He turned around and looked for something, or someone. I followed his eye site, and eventually spotted Blaire looking directly at us.
Eli looked back at me, and shook his head.
"Fuck it, Rose...Blaire has been sending me these pathetic threats over the past few days. At first I ignored them and confronted him about them, but then they started getting more violent, telling me to leave you alone or I'll end up......" He turned back around to see if Blaire was still looking, Blaire was beginning to stand up from his lunch seat.

"He came to my house last night at 12 fucking a.m, and said my name and something like...'really observe someone's evilness' or some creepy shit like that..Rose I really like you but I know you talk to him and you have to tell him to leave me alone otherwise I'm bringing this to the police."
I choked up for a minute, every word Andrew's mom said to me came rushing through my head.
It wasn't "really understand someone's evilness". It was "really observe someone's evilness", and Blaire said it.
This isn't a coincidence, no way could it be. Going to his house, saying his name, then that statement.
I looked up to see if Blaire was still standing where he was, but he completely disappeared.
I think I'm going to be sick.
"Oh my gosh." I said out loud. I quickly got up from my seat, put a hand over my mouth, and ran to the bathroom.
"Rose wait!" I heard Nina shout after me.
When I opened up the bathroom door, there was a group of girls doing their makeup together by the sinks.
I pushed past them and opened up one of the stalls, and let out whatever edible substance I have consumed over the past hours. I heard one of the girls shriek, and then the rest wonder if I was okay.
"Can you guys please leave, now?" I heard Nina question loudly as she walked into the bathroom. I heard a few whispers, but eventually I heard them walk out of the bathroom.
Nina's hand started to gently pat my back. Right when I felt like I was done, I flushed the toilet but continued to lean over it.
How is this happening?
I.....told Blaire about what happened between Andrew and I, and then suddenly he disappeared along with my photos. Oh my gosh.
His mom said he was sick though?
"You okay now Rose?" Nina questioned still continuing to pat my back. I nodded my head yes, and took the palm of my shaky hand and wiped my eyes with it.

This is absolutely insane.
I completely stood up, and walked out of the bathroom stall towards the sink to wash my hands.
I put soap on my hands, and listened to the water run on top of them.
"Rose..what happened?" Nina questioned. I finished washing my hands, and removed them from the water grabbing a paper towel.
Once that was over with, I took a deep breath, and looked at Nina.
"I think..Blaire has something to do with the death of Andrew..my ex."
Nina's face turned into shock.
"You're kidding...right..?" She questioned.
I shook my head no.
"Oh my gosh..." Was all she was able to further say.
I walked past her, and we both started to head towards the lunch table. Once we got there, we sat in our seats and looked at everyone, Eli was still there.
"Are you okay?" Everyone questioned.
I let out a deep breath as my heart began to beat faster. I think I'm going to be sick again.
"Blaire could possibly have something to do with the death of my ex..Andrew..." I eventually spoke out. Everyone's faces turned into confusion.
"Holy shit, where are you getting this idea from?" Danny questioned. I looked at Eli.
"You said that he said your name and 'really observe someone's evilness' right?" I directed at Eli.
Eli shook his head yes.
"Yeah, I'm not going to lie, after that I made sure all of the doors and windows in the house were locked, I even turned on our alarm system." Eli spoke.
"Well, the same thing happened a couple of nights before Andrew died. It was claimed as being a suicide, but my friends and I knew it wasn't, he just wasn't that type of guy. His mom told me that some person came to his door, knew his name, and said exactly what you just said but instead of the 'observe' she said 'understand', but she wasn't sure so I'm sure it was 'observe' too." I said looking at everyone.
"We still need so much more evidence though to really prove it...Blaire is a complete suspect at the moment, but still." Nina added in. I nodded my head agreeing.
"You can sneak into his house!" Jackson suggested.
Everyone mostly looked at him like he was crazy, besides me.
"Who in the hell is going to sneak into his house? Not me!" Tia shouted.
"That's the worst idea ever."
"Can't we go to jail for that?"
"There's no 'we' in 'you"
"Jackson, I think that's a great idea." I spoke agreeing with him. Everyone looked at me wanting me to further explain myself.
"I can sneak into his house, I'm sure there's answers in his room somewhere..and he has to have a spare key lying around outside, who doesn't?.....I can do this as long as someone keeps a lookout for me.."
"I'll help you, I can watch you from your house, we can buy earpiece walkie talkies too...there's a front view of his house from the windows in your room right?" Nina questioned, I shook my head yes.
"I'll help, since I am your neighbor." Danny added in.
I smiled at them both. Everyone else stated how they were busy after school today. Tia had cheer practice, Eli had basketball practice, and Jackson had to pick his little sister up from school.
"Well, keep the rest of us updated, I want to know every little detail, you'll be in my prayers." Tia spoke stuffing french fries in her mouth.
I shook my head at her, I can't believe we're going to do this.
I directed my attention towards Nina and Danny.
"We do this tonight."

Ghostified City
‘Ghostified City’ is a post-dystopian sci-fi tale, set in a fading world that might be a future version of ours, running out on autopilot into oblivion. Adaman Yimmand is a simple robofactory operator in The City who's working with robots and machines every day. He doesn’t even realise that he might not have met another actual human being in years. Everything begins when he breaks his routine for once and enters a bar where he meets Evelith. This pesky other person does not let him go after he has had his -rather terrible- beer, because according to her actual humans are much rarer than he’s aware of. And from then on ‘the genie is out of the bottle and won’t get back in’, to use her words: Adaman meets more people, and gradually he has no choice but to accept that the reality of The City is not what he always thought it was, and to face the darkness of a fading humanity on the brink of self-inflicted extinction.Is there any hope left for him, and for his species? I have selected 'sexual content' and 'traumatising content' to be on the safe side, because there is a stripclub-like venue in the background of the story, and an almost-extinct humanity that has institutionalised suicide which might be disturbing to some. Apart from that it's not really a heavy 'adult' story.('Ghostified City' is my first long story in English as opposed to my native language Dutch, and an earlier version was published on my fiction blog 'Oranderra' until I stopped updating. This is a slightly altered version of the first series.)

My Villain {Loki ff -hun}
Alexis Foster soha nem gondolta volna, hogy egyszer kijuthat a galaxisba, ráadásul egy teljesen idegen bolygóra. Ám amikor ez nővére, Jane kérésére megtörténik és a lány Asgardba kerül, megismerkedik az éppen büntetését letöltő, cellában raboskodó Lokival, aki fenekestül felforgatja a lány életét. Vajon a különös, bátor és talpraesett midgardi lány is képes lesz megváltoztatni a csalás és hazugság istenét? És mi történik akkor, ha a találkozásuk nem csak egy puszta véletlen? Miről szólhat az a bizonyos, titokzatos prófécia és mi történik akkor, ha egy olyan küldetésben kell részt venniük, amelyből nem biztos, hogy mindketten élve visszatérnek? A történet szereplői a Marvel Comics tulajdonában állnak, így minden jog őket illeti. A főszereplő viszont az én ötletem szüleménye, akárcsak a történet, így minden jogot fenntartok rá! A történetben lesz néhány elem, amely megegyezik a filmekkel, ám lényegében inkább a saját elképzelésem után formálom, alakítom azt, tehát nem követi magukat a filmbeli történeteket , hanem kissé átalakítva kerülnek bele események/karakterek.Kellemes olvasást kívánok mindenkinek!
