《Pure Heart {EJ x Reader}》Chapter 8: Awkward

◔౪◔
My lungs were burning at how much I was running and came to a stop to take a breather, I bent over and held myself up by putting my hands on my knees. I could feel sweat falling down my face as I panted, I suddenly heard a movement in the bushes making me snap my head up in that direction. The noise was coming closer to me as I stood there, not wanting to be killed by whatever it was I started to run the opposite direction making me trip a little but catch myself.
"Go Away!" I yelled closing my eyes as tears came down my face but I immediately regretted it because I couldn't feel the ground under my feet anymore so I opened my eyes to see no ground as I fell off the cliff, it wasn't as big of a cliff but my life flashed before my eyes as everything seemed to go in slow motion I suddenly splashed into water hitting my back making me open my mouth to scream but was cut off with water flowing into my mouth making me choke. I could hardly see anything as I tried to swim but I never had learned how (if you can well sorry) so I watched the bright skylight under the water making my death seem beautiful even though I knew I would probably die here, my vision began to become weak as I swallowed water but I could faintly see a dark figure coming toward me as I float there in the dark blue water. The last thing I remember was their arms wrapping around my form before I blacked out.
After finishing off Blades and Bloody Painter I ran in the direction from where I saw (Y/N) running too, I could see her out of breath and taking a break from running. I ran through some bushes making her run off into another direction, "(Y/N) wait!" she must not have heard me because she kept running away from me. I couldn't hear footsteps anymore making me run faster until I saw a glimpse of her shoe falling off the cliff making me jump off after her, I fell into the water and could see her sinking deeper into the darkness. I swam faster and grabbed her waist pulling her with me to the surface, I breathed in the fresh air making my lungs feel relieved as the burning goes away. I brought her to the shore of the lake as I noticed that she wasn't breathing making me push down on her chest trying to do CPR on her but she didn't move to make me worry.

Why am I trying to save her? no, I need her, she's the only person that fills that dark place in me...
I decided to take my mask off slowly, throwing it to the side. I was about to change my mind but I knew it was the best thing to do at the moment. I lifted her head slightly as I knew that it would help bring air to her lungs faster if I did so, I moved her hair out of her face. I lowered my head to hers as I set my lips onto hers, I began to breathe into her mouth giving her air as I lifted my head she began to cough out water making me sigh in relief.
Her lips are soft and warm- I shook my head at the thought.
She opened her eyes and looked at my face, I had forgotten my mask wasn't on so I quickly grabbed it and started to put it on but she stopped it as my mouth was still out in the open.
I coughed out the water that had been in my lungs as I opened my eyes as I saw a boy in front of me but he quickly turned his head away from me, I stared at him as he grabbed the familiar mask I have been seeing lately, I quickly grabbed his mask before he could go all the way.
"Jack?" I asked hoping it was him and not someone else, He put his hand down with his mask and my hand still on it with his. He slowly nodded his head making me smile,
"Did you save me..." I said in more of a statement than a question as he nodded his head again not looking at me. I lifted my hand to his shoulder and smiled at him even though he couldn't see it, "Why..." I looked at him with a serious expression, he just sat there not saying a word.

Knowing I won't get a response I just sighed and rested my head on his chest making his body stiffen, "can we go back home, please" I asked as my body became limp and more tired as I felt myself begin to slip into sleep, he slipped his mask on and picked me up bridal style and began to walk towards the direction of the cabin. I closed my eyes as I slowly drifted into slumber.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
