《More than rubies [D. Alli x E. Dier]》Chapter 2

"I'm really sorry", I mumbled.
"But you will never undestand. And I guess, that's the best like that..."
He turned around.
"Don't forget my offer, okay?"
I nodded.
"Thanks Toby."
I followed him a couple meters far away.
When Nacer and Jan saw me, they ran towards me, but I didn't answere their questions or anything.
I just went upstairs.
I went to bed immediately.
Five minutes later Eric and Kyle came in.
"Fucking hell, Dele?", Eric shouted.
"What's wrong with you? Running away like that, in the dark, for three hours? What did you do? Why? We were all worried!"
I turned my head towards the wall.
Neither I wanted to see Eric, nor I wanted him to see that my eyes were still red and sore, but my voice didn't cover that up too well... I tried to sound calm and not emotional, but my voice decided to sound whiny, cracked and sad.
"You don't sound worried at all.", I replied.
"Dele? Dele, are fucking kidding me? We were searching for hours! Who knows where you could have been? What if you had an accident?!", he continued shouting.
"You wouldn't care.", I whispered.
Now he was furious.
"What kind of game are you playing? Of course I would care! I... I can't even!" He was so angry, I was scared. Never ever have I seen him like that.
I didn't answere.
"Oh, fine! I see, Mister Alli doesn't care. Oh. Okay. So do I!" His words were like burning coal on my skin.
Kyle tried to calm him down. "Eric. Leave it. Calm down, we'll talk tomorrow." Eric grumbled something, but I couldn't quite understand what.
It was better like that, I thought.
It probably wasn't something nice.

Kyle quietly wished us all a good night.
He was always funny and friendly, but he surely wasn't good at supporting crying people.
Luckily, he knew that and didn't even try to talk to me.
It was 4:36 a.m. and I was wide awake.
I couldn't sleep, because I was too sad.
Why had he been so mean to me? He surely didn't care about my feelings at all. If he did, he wouldn't have mentioned that I didn't have a girlfriend, or wouldn't have shouted at me.
I sighed and turned around. Eric... He meant so much to me... And now? He had broken my heart. Mercilessly. Would he hate me forever? What if we would never be friends again? I would fall apart...
The next morning I was woken up by Kyle.
Eric was nowhere to be seen. He probably had breakfast by then.
"Hey, Dele... How are you, Buddy? If there's anything you need to talk about, then I'm right here for you. I'm sorry about last night... Eric didn't mean it that way... He was just tired and worried....", Kyle explained.
"No. I don't want to hear that. If he didn't mean it, then why would he say things like these? He really hurt my feelings. I don't care if that doesn't sound too manly, I have feelings, too. Got it?" I threw my blanket away. "I trusted him, okay? I tell him everything! He doesn't seem to give a damn about me!"
Kyle shook his head. "You don't know...", he sighed. "Anyway, do you want to have breakfast with us now?"
My tummy rumbled.
"I'll go alone.", I replied and went into the bathroom.
*Crash* Kyle left the bedroom.
Time to breath and think clear. I was confused. What was I doing? I was bitching at Kyle. He didn't do anything!

I felt bad, as I was taking a shower.
When I was dressed I slowly went downstairs to have breakfast.
Kyle, Eric, Moussa, Sonny and Luke sat at one table.
I sat alone.
Toby came and sat next to me.
"Seriously Toby, here are plenty of seats and you decide to sit next to me?"
Toby looked at me in a weird way.
"I'm trying not to be offended, but what's wrong with you recently? You don't behave as funny as normal. You've become silent and strange..."
I took my food and left. I just left without saying a word. My Team mates looked at me. I could feel them staring at me.
When I was eating alone, I felt bad again.
This time, for Toby.
I have so rude and these poor nice guys didn't deserve how I was treating them. They were only trying to help.
I hurried up, because I didn't want anybody to talk to me. I didn't want them to remind me on that whole thing.
I wanted to forget.

The False Paladin
Divine Paladins, a title given to those who were blessed with the Lord's Favor, are the pillars of the kingdom of Calorin. However, a kingdom cannot simply be built from ideals of honor and duty. Sir Roel, the 58th Divine Paladin, knows that he's no hero. His sword is fake, his actual powers are middling, and his thoughts grow more cynical with every passing day. Upon receiving his next task, an order to assassinate a member of royalty, he wonders if the only thing he can do is bow his head and obey. Set in a medieval-era world in which brute strength is often subordinate to the schemes and machinations of the ruling class, this is a low fantasy story about a hero who struggles not only against monsters but also the idea that he's supposed to be the one fighting them. This fiction updates once to twice a week and each chapter is a minimum of 1000 words.

Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.
