《Something Unimaginable (Niall Horan Fanfic) Book 3》Relaxing or Not So Much

Eleanor:
I squeezed Kiersten's hand letting her know that I wasn't going anywhere. I glared at Nick as he gave us a sickening sweet smiled.
"I'm just taking a little vacation. What about you?"
Kiersten narrowed her eyes at him, "I'm trying to relax. So let's just forget that we're both here, okay? Please? Can you do that for me?"
Nick took a step forward and I pulled Kiersten closer to my side. Nick turned and smiled at me, "It's wonderful to see you again Eleanor. I saw pictures of your wedding online, it was beautiful. Louis is a lucky guy." I scoffed and rolled my eyes but Nick wasn't even looking at me anymore. He reached forward and lightly cupped Kiersten's cheek in his hand and she flinched away. "I'm not going to hurt you. I could never hurt you." He said rubbing her cheek with his thumb, but she slapped his hand away. "But I can't leave you alone either. Not that I know you're here."
"Bob!" Kiersten yelled and we heard running feet and someone stepped between us and Nick.
"Get out of here, kid." Bob said. "It's my job to hurt you, so leave before I do."
"See you around, babe." Nick said winking at Kiersten and walking past us.
I looked at Kiersten, her jaw was clenched and her blue eyes were a scary grey color. She was shaking and I could see the tears well up in her eyes. "I-I" I pulled her into me and she cried, "I need to call Niall." She said pulling away wiping her eyes.
Bob nodded, "I'm going to walk you back to the room then I'm going to go to the front desk and get a list of all of the guests that are staying here. We'll look through them later and see if you recognize any names okay? I'm going to call in some extra security and they should be here tomorrow." He said kissing the top of Kiersten's head and rubbing her back as we walked back to the villa.
As soon as we got back Kiersten and I both checked our phones. I had a text from Louis asking me to Skype him.
Perrie and Samie had taken Xara to one of the pools and Danielle was at a yoga class, so it was just Kiersten and I alone.
I started up my Skype chat with Louis and then went to find Kiersten. "Hey K?" I asked walking into her room.
"Hmm?" She asked looking up at me. I saw the phone in her hand and her thumb was hovering over it and I could tell she was trying to work up the courage to call Niall.
"Lou wants to know if you just want to Skype Niall with him and I? I could help tell the story?" I said giving her a small smile.
"Uhm, y-yeah. I think that would help." She said combing her fingers through her hair.
I could tell how distraught she was. She was supposed to be safe here, but I can tell she's unsure of her safety. I know it's more than that. I think she's wishing Xara would have gone on tour with the boys so she wasn't here. Kiersten would die to make sure that little girl was safe.
I smiled and grabbed her hand and led her over to the desk in the corner of the room. I sat her down in the desk chair and set the computer in front of her, "Here Lou talk to Kiersten." I said giving him a look through the computer screen to tell him to make her laugh. He gave me a nod and started cracking all of his best jokes making Kiersten giggle as I went and got another chair.

I finally settled down in my chair next to Kiersten and took her hand in mine. "Niall! Come here! I've got a surprise for you."
"What is it, Lou?" Niall asked strolling into the room in just a pair of shorts, he had a sandwich in his hand and his whole face lit up when he saw Kiersten on Louis' computer screen. "Hey babe!" He said plopping down on Louis' lap.
"Hi." Kiersten said picking at her nails.
Niall's brow furrowed and his eyes filled with worry, "What's wrong?" when Kiersten didn't say anything or even look at him he looked almost angry, "Kiersten, look at me." When she didn't listen I heard him take a deep breath, "Look. At. Me."
She looked up at him and I saw a tear roll down her cheek, "Nick is here." She said quietly but I know he heard her.
"W-what do you mean, Nick is there?"
"We were walking back from our massages and ran into him." I said giving Kiersten's hand a squeeze.
"Did he touch you?" Niall asked his jaw clenching.
"My cheek."
"Well what did he say?"
"She asked him to leave us alone and just forget that we were here, and he said that he wouldn't hurt her, that he couldn't, but he's not going to leave her alone either."
"We're getting you all out of there now." Niall said.
"Why? I don't want to leave. I like it here." Kiersten said looking at him through the computer.
"Kiersten, Nick fucking Jonas is there! It's not safe!"
"Nick won't hurt me, Niall."
"How do you know that?!"
"Because if he really loves me like he says he does, he won't."
"Kiersten, it's not worth it! Just because Nick won't hurt you doesn't mean that someone else there won't."
"Niall, please. I don't want to make all the other girls leave just let it go for a bit. Bob's here and he's calling in extra security. They will be here tomorrow morning. Please, Ni?"
Niall sighed pulling his fingers through his hair, "Fine. But the second something happens you are out of there!"
Kiersten nodded, "El, why don't you go Skype Lou in your room? Ni you want to Skype?"
Niall nodded and walked off probably to go get his computer. "Let me know if you need anything, K." I said standing up and taking my computer.
I walked to my room and flopped down on the bed, "So how are you, love?" Louis asked.
"I was great until Nick showed up."
"Can you tilt your screen down a bit babe?" Louis asked smiling sweetly at me.
"Uh sure." I said doing what he asked, "Good?"
"Perfect."
I glanced at the corner of my screen and saw what Louis saw, "Oh my God! Lou!" I yelled tilting the screen back. "I can't believe you only asked me to tilt my screen so you could look down my shirt!"
"Baaaaaaabe. We pretty much just went nonstop for an entire week, I'm having withdrawals here."
"Well what exactly do you want me to do about that Louis?"
"Well..."
An hour later I walked out into the living area to find Kiersten, Danielle, and Samie sitting on the couches drinking smoothies and looking over pieces of paper.
"Well someone had a nice Skype conversation." Danielle said smirking at me.
"He was going through withdrawals. Where'd you get those smoothies?" I asked stealing Kiersten's and taking a drink of it.

"Bob brought them along with a list of the resort guests. There's one in the freezer for you." Kiersten said stealing hers back.
"Where's Perrie and Xara?" I asked grabbing my smoothie and taking a seat next to Danielle.
"Xara's napping and Perrie went to the spa."
"Oh. Have you found any names yet?"
"Just Nick's." Kiersten said letting out a frustrated sigh. "It's so easy to register under another name, so I could know all of these people and not realize it." She said standing up. "I'm going for a swim. Can we go up to that nice restaurant for dinner tonight?"
"Of course we can." Danielle said rubbing her back, "We'll get all dressed up and go. Make sure you take Bob with you to the pool."
"Right. Like I'm leaving you guys here unprotected."
Samie turned around and glared at her, "They aren't after us. Either you take Bob or you don't go."
Kiersten's eyes widened at Samie's tone but nodded and walked away.
"I'm just really worried about her. She seems really stressed. She's getting married soon and she just doesn't even seem excited." Samie said tossing a piece of paper back on the coffee table. "She should be freaking out about the wedding plans. Not about whatever this shit is."
"We need to help her relax a bit." Danielle said leaning back and rubbing her stomach.
"She was relaxed until Nick showed up." I said throwing my head back.
"Let's plan a day for her tomorrow." Danielle said smiling.
"Okay let's wait until she leaves and we'll plan it all out." Samie said smiling at us.
Five minutes later and Kiersten and Bob walked through the living room, "I'll be back later!" She yelled walking out the door.
We planned out the next day to help Kiersten relax and then Perrie and Kiersten came back and we all got dressed up and went out to dinner. (http://www.polyvore.com/untitled_64/set?id=68307913)
"Someone get me a drink." Kiersten said as soon as we got sat at our table.
"What can I get you miss?" The waiter asked.
"A mojito, please." Kiersten said looking at the menu.
"Give us a round of those." Perrie said smiling up at the waiter.
"Oh no I'll just take a water with Lemon." Danielle said rubbing her belly.
"And for the little one?"
"Milk!" Xara clapping. The waiter nodded before walking away.
"What's everyone ordering?" I asked looking at the menu. We all talked about what we wanted to eat and the waiter came back with our drinks and took our orders.
We were waiting for our food and talking about the boys and the stupid things they do. Kiersten was in the middle of telling us a story about Niall when she stopped talking and stared ahead, not moving. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Nick standing there all dressed up. He was staring straight ahead right at Kiersten a small smile playing on his lips.
He strode across the room and lifted Kiersten right out of her chair, "Dance with me." He said setting her down but grasping her waist and gesturing to the dance floor where a band was playing.
"Nick-"
"Just one dance." He said putting his hand on the small of her back and pressing her body closer to his.
"No, Nick I can't. You know that."
"Please, Kiersten." He whispered. "Just a dance."
"Nick, I'm getting married in less than three months. I can't just dance with you. I'm with Niall and that's not changing." She said separating herself.
Nick nodded sadly, he kissed her cheek and silently walked away.
Nick quickly walked away with his head down and Kiersten sat down sighing.
"I feel bad for him. Demi drug him into this mess and he just wants to be with you." Perrie said shrugging as Kiersten sat back down in her seat.
"Please stop. You're making me feel worse than I already do." Kiersten said chugging the rest of her drink. The waiter brought us our food and we dug in not talking much just questioning how each other's food was.
"How's your food, pretty girl?" Kiersten asked smiling down at the toddler.
"Yummy, mumma." Xara said smiling back up at her.
"Isn't it weird to you that she calls you mum?" Perrie asked suddenly.
"No. Her mum left, she needs someone to call mum, and she picked me." Kiersten said pushing her plate away and pulling Xara onto her lap and helping her eat the food that she was struggling with.
I saw that Perrie wanted to say something else but I stopped her, "She's having a rough day just let it go." I whispered.
"I'm with Zayn, not Kiersten. She should be calling me mum." Perrie said shrugging.
"Perrie please, that was something that was really hard for Kiersten to accept, Xara made the decision not Kiersten."
"Sorry. I just really want to fit into their lives." Perrie said looking down at her plate.
"It's okay. Just understand that Kiersten isn't going anywhere."
We continued eating until Kiersten's phone vibrated on the table. She glanced at it before tears welled up in her eyes.
"Kiersten? What's wrong?" Danielle asked grabbing her hand.
Kiersten shook her head and dropped her phone in the middle of the table. The screen showed a text from Niall, Niall: What the fuck is this?Attached was a picture of Kiersten and Nick pressed close together.
Kiersten's chair got pushed back and she handed Xara to Danielle and then quickly left the restaurant with Bob.
"Is she okay?" Nick asked suddenly appearing at the table.
I shook my head, "I think it's best if you leave."
"Please I really care about her. I just want to know if she-"
"You care about her?!" Samie yelled standing up. "No if you cared about her none of this would've happened! Stay away from her!" Samie yelled pointing her finger at him and leaving the restaurant.
Nick sighed and walked away. We charged our meal to our room and then quickly headed back.
We walked in and we could hear Kiersten and Samie in Kiersten's room and it sounded like Kiersten was crying.
"I'm going to go call Liam." Danielle said setting Xara down and going to her room.
Xara walked over to Kiersten's door and knocked, "Mumma?"
The door opened and Samie scooped Xara up and then went back in the room.
I popped a movie in and Danielle and Perrie joined me. Samie came out a while later and said that Kiersten had cried herself to sleep and Xara was also in there asleep.
The four of us were still awake watching another movie when there was a knock on the door, "I got it. I know who it is." Danielle said lifting herself off of the couch.
She walked through the room and it was too dark to tell who it was but it was definitely a guy and his bleach blonde hair reflected off the TV. Danielle led him to Kiersten's door. They went inside and Danielle came out with Xara in her arms. She put her down in Perrie's room and returned to the couch.
"What's Niall doing here?" Perrie asked.
"When I called Liam I talked to Niall and explained to him what happened and he jumped on the first flight here to come see her and make things right."
"They are so cute!" I said smiling. A few minutes later we all went to bed.
I woke up the next morning and walked into the kitchen and heard giggling. Kiersten was sitting on the counter with her legs wrapped around Niall's waist who was standing in front of the counter.
"Oh, sorry to interrupt." I said turning around.
"It's okay, El. I have to get going anyway." Niall said helping Kiersten down from the counter. They walked to the door hand in hand. The other girls joined me in watching them say goodbye. Niall wrapped his arms around her waist and she buried her face in his neck. I could see Niall's lips moving which told me that they were whispering back and forth. He titled her head up and gave her a long and gentle kiss and then Niall was out the door.
Kiersten ran back to where we were standing and hugged Danielle, "Thank you so much."
"Of course, babe, now we've got a nice relaxing day planned out for you so go put on some comfy clothes and let's get going."
I flopped down on my bed extremely relaxed from the day. I pulled out my phone to call Louis and we talked until I fell asleep.
We had been at the resort for just over a month and Louis was coming the next day for my birthday.
I was playing in the pool with Xara, Kiersten, and Danielle. Samie was spending time with Harry t who had come to visit her and was leaving a few hours later and Perrie was tanning and 'working' which was really gossiping on the phone with her bandmates. Zayn had been with us the week before for Perrie's birthday. I felt kind of bad though because Perrie had kept him in the bedroom most of the time, and he didn't get to spend much time with Xara. Xara didn't really seem to notice though, Kiersten kept her distracted. Niall was going to be visiting Kiersten in a couple weeks for her birthday, and Liam was coming to visit Danielle the week before that. Each of the boys got an allotted thirty-six hours to come visit us. Niall had to beg for his extra twelve hours though because they were only going to give him twenty-four on Kiersten's birthday because he had come to visit earlier but he had really only been with her for like six hours so they just let it slide.
"You excited for Lou to come tomorrow?" Kiersten asked.
"Duh." I said bouncing a giggling Xara up and down in the water. "You want to grab the sunscreen? I think she could use a little more."
Kiersten nodded wading through the water to the edge of the pool. "Hold her up." Kiersten said and I lifted Xara from the water and Kiersten quickly covered the squirming toddler in white goo. "There all better." Kiersten said poking her nose as I put her back in the water. "Look at you being all better of a swimmer than your daddy." She laughed as Xara wriggled around in the water. "Should we take a video of you to send to him?"
"Daddy!" Xara giggled as Kiersten grabbed her phone in its completely submergible case. We had all gotten them so we could take underwater pictures when we snorkeling.
"Okay, Tootie, swim to Aunty Danielle!" Kiersten cheered holding her phone out. Xara wiggled to Danielle, her light purple life jacket keeping her head safely above the water. "Say hi to your daddy pretty girl."
"Hi Daddy!" Xara waved like crazy from her place in Danielle's arm.
Kiersten turned the phone around so it showed her and I. "Zayn your daughter is a better swimmer than you!" I said laughing.
"Bye Z! Tell everyone we said hi!" Kiersten said before she stopped recording. She sent the video to Zayn and immediately got a reply Zayn: Awe! I'm so proud of her! Where's Perrie?
Kiersten sighed before replying back to him telling him she was tanning and working. His reply caused another eye roll from her. "He says 'Awee she's so dedicated to her band. She's great, yeah?'"
"Just ignore it. Let's take pictures." I said throwing an arm around her shoulder and sticking my tongue out at the camera.
After about a thousand pictures Kiersten set her phone back up on the pool and did laps around the deeper parts to help her relax a little bit. She had gotten tense when Nick appeared at the pool just sitting in one of the chairs on his phone.
Nothing had happened with Nick, he had kept his distance, but he was constantly present. I could always feel us watching us, well not us, but Kiersten. The one thing that we had noticed was he was always alone. I never saw him with anyone or talking to anyone that didn't work at the resort.
Xara said she wanted to take a nap and Danielle wanted to also, so we headed back to the villa. Kiersten gave Xara a bath to rid her of the chlorine in the pool then settled her on the couch with Pinky the giraffe, some milk, and Despicable Me on the TV.
Danielle went to take a nap and Kiersten and I each took a shower. We were all getting pretty bored of just being at the resort all the time, it was lovely, but we had been there for a month and still had a month left and we were starting to get restless.
"I'm so bored." Kiersten said lying on her stomach in the middle of the kitchen floor as I made something to eat.
"Niall's coming in a couple weeks."
"Yeah but that's fourteen days of boredom until then." She whined, "Ooof."
I turned around to figure out why Kiersten had made such a weird noise and found Harry stretched out on his back on top of Kiersten, "Quit whining." He said wiggling causing Kiersten to groan again.
"Harold you're going to miss your flight if you don't get off of her." Samie said coming into the kitchen and throwing a grape at him.
Harry shrugged, "If I miss my flight that means you and me can-"
"Ew please stop." Kiersten said wiggling out from under Harry.
"I was going to say go snorkeling."
"Liar." Kiersten and I said at the same time.
"Come on." Samie said helping him up off the floor and walking him out of the villa and to his awaiting taxi.

Travelers [DROPPED]
DROPPED. The story focuses less on dungeon building than on the why of dungeons and how they fit into the universal order. While I am working from a grand plot, the writing is going slice of life style because I need to do that to work out how things progress into that grand plot. The original story seed idea / synopsis is below. The Grand Tapestry protects Rhofhir from Primal Chaos by imposing Order via patterns. However, the patterns grow stiff, stagnant, and so the Tapestry is nearing a time of Unraveling. Evidence of past civilizations wiped out during previous Unravelings foreshadow the apocalyptic catastrophe looming over the world. The mages of the Arcane Asylum reach out across dimensions, searching for some way to prevent, or at least stall, the coming Unraveling. Among the many voices they find is a gifted graduate student researching machine-assisted telepathy -- and his gaming group. Lena never expected that the chance to play DnD with telepathy would result in her becoming an actual Dungeon Master, nor that her friends could become the bosses of her dungeon. This is, in many ways, her dream come true, but there's a catch: What happened to Brad, the creator of that telepathy machine?
