《The Invitation》Chapter 13

--- Nicholas ---
"Nick?"
"What are you doing here? I thought I'd never see you again!"
Nicholas stood still. Unmoving. Frozen.
"No no no no no", he murmured. This couldn't be happening. She couldnt be here.
"Hello? Nick? Are you listening to me?"
He finally brought himself to lift his eyes to her burning amber ones.
He thought he'd never see her again. His best friend. Alice.
She'd left when their entire family had gone broke, and everyone thought that she had been behind the bombing of the train that had left him and his sister orphans.
He opened his mouth to speak. But just then, Leah and Eliza walked into garden, hand in hand, deep in discussion.
When she saw him, Leah ran towards him and said, "Oh hello brother!! Eliza and I were just discussing about Loret-"
She paused, just as he had when she saw Alice. But unlike him, she pounced on her, looking ready to tear her apart with her bade hands.
That shook Nico from his shock and he sprung into action, holding Leah back, as Eliza stood between her and Alice.
The tension between them was palpable, yet somehow calm and collected, Eliza spoke, "Why don't we all go inside and discuss this over a nice, hot cup of tea"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While they walked into the house, a tense silence had settled between them all. They reached into the sitting room and Nico was surprised to find Elias sitting there drinking tea.
He hadn't seen him all morning and being completely honest, he'd forgotten all about him.
Thinking about it he didn't even think that Elias was poisoned as he wasn't there at breakfast..................
How could he forget about that....
"Nice of you to join us Elias.", said Eliza, her voice dripping with venom.

"You dissappeared after last night and of course it seems clear that you have no intention of sharing your ideas with us."
"Whatever are you talking about?", he replied, standing up.
"Its not my problem that Loretta did the wrong thing at the wrong time. Good riddance she's gone anyway."
Eliza muttered, "Well atleast we agree on one thing..... The first time I saw her drinking water from that fountain like a god forsaken animal, I knew she was a complete lunatic."
Before a fully fledged argument could begin once again, Leah interjected by screaming, " I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT, I GOT IT, I GOT IT!"
"You got what?" Nico asked stupidly.
"I got the cure. I KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS"
A/N
So...........
What do you think?
Adding Alice as a character was pretty spontaneous, but I think it'll bring some more drama to the story.
Anyway like and comment!
Till next time ✨️

Ravyn's Nights - Book 3
Claire's life led her to love. Love led her to death. Death began her eternal struggle to retain both her love and her humanity through 5 centuries of endless nights. Book 3 covers the 19th century. "Ravyn's Nights" is a six book series, with each book covering a different century. Book 6 was actually started first, and it takes place in the near future, bringing the story to a final conclusion. I then started writing the rest of the series when I decided that I wanted to share the details of the life that made her into who she is in Book 6. At the time of posting the first chapter of the series, books 1-2-3 are completed and books four, five and six are in various states of completion. There is currently a novella following a side character that does include a few crossover chapters featuring the main character. The novella will be included in the completed versions of books 4 and 5.

Plague Doctor
The once-bustling and noisy streets were now filled with an eerie blanket of silence. Hoarse and frenzied whispers lingered high above the heavens, and an indescribable ancient giant lurked in the shadows of the bottomless ocean. A mysterious plague had outbroken, and natural disasters wrought the Earth. Global pandemic and catastrophes had the panicked masses seeking illusory shelters from the devastation, day and night. A bloody shower poured over the land as the streaks of lightning tore across the sky, illuminating the ill-intentioned gathering of ravens above. Nevermore, nevermore, quoth the ravens. “We can see that this malformed creature has twelve pairs of ribs like humans, but also has a “transverse bone” that humans do not possess…” In the medical school, Gu Jun continued bringing down his scalpel, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure of the malformed cadaver on the dissection table to the surrounding students. Ominous and treacherous times had descended! Truth and logic had crumbled, order warped into a frenzy. Humanity can only forge ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom.

Beyond?
Author's Comment: I was asked about reading my work on other sites. The answer is simple: Currently I am not active in any other networks than royalroadl.com. Only here, I correct mistakes and errors. If you read it anywhere else and have to pay for it, or have to deal with an annoying amount of advertisement, You Are Being Betrayed. You would do good if you make other people in that network aware of it. This is a free project of mine for the purpose of having fun. And if people try to make money with it you shouldn't bother visiting their website. The only one whom I actually allowed to have my work on his website is Armaell who invested the time to compile them into pdf.

And I am not sure on the tags either. They may change. Bear with it. As always, how chapters turn out is up to my mood.
