"Nicki there's something seriously wrong with you. One minute were cool then you play out this disappearing act and I don't hear from you in days."
"I know Jace I'm sorry. I'm just going through some shit right now." I apologised.
"What shit? Is it money because you know I got you."
"It's not money but it's something that's making me reconsider this whole relationship." I was still coming to terms with the news I was pregnant. I knew once I told him things wouldn't be the same between us.
"What are you talking about?!" He shouted.
"Jace I gotta go-" I quickly hung up.
•
I was about to wash my hair when I heard a loud knock on the door.
"I'm coming wait!" I yelled as the person kept knocking.
"What is he doing here?" I asked myself as I stood on my toes to look through the peep hole revealing an angry Jace.
"Open the door Nicki, I know you're in there."
"If you don't open this door in 10 seconds-" he started with his threats.
"What do you want Jace?!"
"Open the fuxking door."
"5... 4... 3...-" he started counting down and I rolled my eyes. "I'm not scared of you Jace just leave me alone."
"1." He went silent then he pulled out his gun and shot off the door locks.
"Oh my god!" I screamed and ran into my bedroom, locking the door behind me.
"Nicki don't make me kick this door down." I was going to ignore him until I remembered he had just shot his way into my home.
I unlocked my bedroom door slowly. "What do you want Jace?"
"You're carrying my seed." He stated gesturing to my stomach.
"Who told you?" I frowned. The only people that knew was me and Chanel, and I know she wouldn't tell him.
"That don't matter." This nigga really had eyes and ears in the streets, he knew everything.
"No do you know what doesn't matter? This baby because in 24 hours this will all be over."
"you're not getting rid of my baby." He said sternly.
"My body. My Choice." I shrugged turning to walk away but he pulled me back roughly.
"Get off you're hurting me!" I spat and slapped him across his face causing him to swing angrily knocking me to the floor.
"Put some clothes on."
"I'm not going nowhere." I shook my head holding my jaw which he had just swung on.
"Just put your fuxking clothes on Nicki!" He yelled grabbing my face roughly.
"Hurry the fuck up too!"
•
"Where are we going?" I asked as he drove in silence. "Shut up"

"Jace I'm sorry for not telling you I only just found out myself."
"I said shut up." Jace repeated gripping the steering wheel.
"You're so fuxking rude. This is why you can't find a bitxh to stick with your crazy ass-" I stopped talking once we pulled up outside an unfamiliar house.
"Where are we?"
"Get out." He said ignoring my question. I crossed my arms over my chest. "I'm not getting out until you tell me where I am."
"Get out or I'll drag you out." I rolled my eyes an stepped out of the car. "I hate you." I mumbled.
"Listen when we going inside I don't want to hear no shit from you I'm not afraid to fuck your little ass up in front of all these people in there." I waved him off and started walking towards the door but he pulled me back.
"Understand?"
"Yes."
•
"JACE!" A short, pretty lady shouted as we entered the house.
"Wassup mama"
Mama? This was his mother. She looked so young and pretty.
"Hi baby. I thought you wasn't coming." She smiled. "Sorry I'm late I had to get Nicki."
"Nicki?" She repeated and I waved shyly. "Hey."
"Hi pretty."
"Jace here?" I heard and turned around to see A girl around my height say.
"Oh who is this?" She asked Jace once she was stood between us.
"This my girl Nicki." Jace introduced grabbing my waist and pulling me close to him.
"You're really pretty." The girl said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you so are you."
"I'm Jace's cousin Lexi by the way." She held out her hand for me to shake and just as I was about to, Jace covered her face with his hand and pushed her away playfully. "Lex get out her face!"
"Shut up J. I'm just telling her she's pretty, too pretty to be with your ugly ass anyway." She mugged. Before turning her attention back to me.
"Nicki come. I want your opinion on this outfit you look like you have style."
"Okay." I began to follow her but Jace spoke up. "Hold up." He grabbed my waist and pulled me to the side.
"I'm sorry for earlier."
"Forget about it."
•
We stayed at Jace's mother house for another hour, it was his uncles birthday and his mom had prepared this big family dinner.
"Nicki will help you." Jace volunteered me as his mother started cleaning up the table after we'd all eaten.
"Are you sure baby you don't-" she said but I cut her off with a reassuring smile. "No it's fine."

"So how long have you and Jace been together?" She asked me once we were alone, cleaning up in the kitchen. "Uh a little over two months"
"That's all? It seems like longer the way he talks about you." I frowned in shock. "Jace talks about me?"
She nodded. "I probably shouldn't be telling you this but yeah he tells me about you. It's Nicki this, Nicki that. He really cares about you."
"He has a funny way of showing it." I mumbled.
"I know he can be difficult to deal with sometimes but his hearts in the right place."
"Yeah I know..." When Jace wanted to be he was the sweetest person ever but most of the time he was this angry, rude and dismissive person.
"So where's your family? I haven't heard Jace talk about your parents"
"My mother lives in Brooklyn, my brother is here in LA and my dads dead."
"Oh I'm sorry." She said sincerely.
"It's alright."
"So you and Jace have been together 2 months." I nodded. "And you're already pregnant." She said making me widen my eyes in shock. "What? No I'm not-"
She started laughing. "You don't have to lie to me." I sighed and nodded slowly. "Jace told you?"
"He didn't have to. Your glowing besides I saw you rubbing your little bump earlier."
"I did?" I honestly didn't remember.
"Yeah you probably didn't notice but did it out of instinct."
"How far are you?"
"I haven't gone to the doctors yet but I gotta be like 2 months." I shrugged.
"Oh" I bit my lip and looked down. "I know it's so embarrassing I've only know Jace 2 months and I'm already carrying his child."
"It's not embarrassing baby. Y'all both grown. I know you're gonna be just fine." She said giving me a reassuring smile just then Jace walked in. "Baby come on we're going."
"What so soon? We haven't even sung happy birthday to your Uncle."
"Ma we gotta go."
"It was nice meeting you honey. Hopefully I'll see you soon." She said pulling me into a hug. "Thanks for being so nice. Talking to you really made me feel better."
"See you mom."
"I love you baby." His mom said as she hugged him goodbye.
"Love you too."
•
"What did you and my mom talk about?" Jace asked.
"The baby...I've decided to keep it."
"I don't know what made you think you had a choice anyway." He mumbled.
"Jace! Can you act normal for once why you always gotta take digs and disrespect me all the time."
"Because whoever fuxking spoiled you all your life go you thinking it's okay to chat shit and have your way all the time."
"Where are you taking me? Just take me home."
"Jace." He ignored me and pulled up at another house I have never seen before.
He continued to ignore my questions and made his way over to the house, he unlocked the door and I gasped at the sight.
"You're gonna be living here." He said simply entering the house. I frowned. "I think the fuck not."
"I'll take you to go get your things tomorrow."
"Jace why aren't you listening to me? I want to go home you're stressing me out." I whined as he walked away and up the stairs. I sighed and looked around the room.
What the fuck is that?
There sat on the couch was a dog, a very big dog staring at me. I hated dogs. I felt my heart rate speed up and to make it worse it started barking at me.
I froze not knowing what to do. Jace had gone upstairs and I was scared that if I moved or even called for Jace the dog would attack me or something.
"It's okay baby." Jace said softly as he made his way down the stairs.
"Why di-" I cut my self off when I realised he was talking to the dog. He went over and started talking to it. "Relax girl. That's Nicki."
"Come here." He said to me and I shook my head. "Come here. She gotta get use to you."
"No she doesn't because I'm going home."
"Dyme." He made a sound with his mouth and the dog jumped of the couch and followed behind him as he walked over to me.
"Jace what are you doing please."
He backed me up in the corner with the dog stood beside him. "Dyme. Stay." The dog sat down right in front of me blocking me from moving anywhere.
"Where are you going?" He walked away leaving me with her. "Don't do this to me!"
"Are you gonna stop talking shit?"
"Yes just move her!" I screamed.
"Alright... Dyme." He clicked his fingers and she ran over to him, he lead her out the back door and locked it.
He then sat down on the couch and turned on the Tv, I walked over to him and sat on his lap. "Jace please. I wanna go home. Are you forgetting you shot my door? Chanel's gonna kill me."
"I had someone come over and fix it while we was gone."
"Why do you want me here anyway?"
"Because of this." He replied placing his hand on my stomach.
"Jace we've only known each other two months..."
"So" he shrugged.
"So are you sure keeping this baby is the right thing to do?"

Moonlight
Three powers were discovered and harnessed so that they could be controlled. These powers are required to keep the planet alive, and need human bearers to focus and amplify their individual powers, but at what cost to their bearers? Power over the elements, controlling the flow of time, and dictating life and death are the powers that three young adults wield in Moonlight, but their lives will be changed forever. Moonlight follows the stories of Claire, Jayden, and Seraphine, as they learn to control these powers that desire to consume them. Author Notes: Hello! This isn't my first attempt at writing a story, and it isn't even my first attempt at writing this particular story, but I'm not in any way what I would call "experienced". I decided to upload my writing here because I just wanted to get my ideas out there, and I wanted to get some constructive criticism for my writing from the RRL community. All comments are welcome, but please try to keep them positive and constructive! If you leave a rating, I would appreciate it if you left a short explanation of what you liked and what I can improve on. I'll be uploading each chapter as I finish them, but this is still the first draft so anything and everything is subject to change. The cover art is drawn by me, but I'm in no way married to it. I just wanted something that showed the three magical sources, as I picture them in my head. If you do any art based on this story, send it to me! I would love to see it. I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy the story!
