《Her Final High [C.Cullen]》6. (NM)
Advertisement
Destiny woke up to nothing like usual. She didn't even realize anything was wrong until Bella called her.
The information that she got was enough to ruin her entire day.
----
She arrived at the Cullen house with Bella to see everything bare and empty. Destiny turned and began anxiously assuring herself thaf everything was fine and they would come back in a month or two. Maybe less.
The blonde nodded feeling optimistic.

December
Destiny couldn't remember the last time, she was so bitter. Her therapy was finished for now.
She was healthy and missing one of the things that made her complete.
Fortunately, she didn't take it as bad as Bella. She'd been holed up in her room and only did the bare minimum to live. School wasn't a thought in her head. She was just a living, breathing statute.
Destiny sighed punching the punching bag. Kyle Newton, Mike Newton's older brother offered to train her in boxer. It gave her something to do and kept her mind off her ex.
"Calm your punches. You're getting too angry and forgetting to guard your weak points."
"Yessir." She bounced back and forth.
"Now try again."
"Yessir." The punches began again.
The murdering got so bad in Seattle that they needed to get more officers patroling the streets. Forks offered all the help it could give. That's how she met this kid. He was 20 and had run away from home.
"Take a break, Destiny." He let the bag go and she sat on the ground. "You did good."
She hummed in lackluster agreement at his praise.
"You need to get over h-" he was cut off by a hard punch to the face. The boy hissed as his nose bled.
"Ow!" He growled after a moment.

She just turned nonchalantly. "Don't presume to know me or what I'm going through."
"Bitch." He muttered before walking off.
Destiny blinked away tears.
What was she thinking about?
Him.
But she wouldn't let it get her down. She would fight.

She sat with Charlie and Billy as they waiting for a bite.
"I heard the Cullens leaving hit you hard." Billy started before Charlie sent him a sign to cut the convo.
"It's unfortunate especially since one of them is a stupid, insignificant, piece of absolute crap, ingrated liar." She growled. Charlie sighed facepalming.
"I believe that I've crossed a line." Billy whispered before turning towards his pole and jerking up before reeling in a rather medium sized trout.
"Good job, Billy. That guy's been teasing my line for the longest."
"Good job, Billy." Destiny muttered before reeling in her line and surprising catching a huge rainbow trout. They all looked at it in shock as it flopped around almost breaking the pole.
"I'll get the cooler. Charlie don't let it get away." Billy stated rolling a short ways away to get the giant red cooler. Charlie watched it and they moved it into the cooler before throwing the down on top of it.
"That was an amazing catch." Charlie praised.
"I didn't even mean to." Destiny muttered blushing as her heart skipped a few beats.
'No not Charlie.' She thought to herself.
"That's what makes it so amazing." Billy added. Destiny nodded and Charlie wrapped an arm around her shoulder. She smiled and relaxed in his grip.
March
That night, the wolf came back as he did every night for the last few months and she walked outside.
"Wait!" It stopped looking at her. It showed that it wasn't violent as always by tilting his head. The wolf blew air into her outstretched hand before turning and running.

"Weirdo." Destiny snorted before walking away back into her house before she heard a long howl in the forest followed by many more.
"Wow." She slid her patio door open and walked in before closing it.
He was so pretty to her.
---
Destiny drunk her vodka waiting for something to happen in her life.
It was boring.
She missed Alice and her bubbly personality. She missed how Jasper would calm her when she was upset. She missed Carlisle's sweet nothings as he put her to sleep. Stalker doctor loved to jump in through her window. She laughed at the thought.
That afternoon, she got a call that made her life go from bad to worse.
----
"Billy's dead." Charlie said over the phone.
"Hahaha. Funny joke, Charlie, but that's a little dark." She said genuinely.
"I'm not joking. Billy Black is dead. He fell out of his wheelchair and... Jake has disappeared." Charlie hissed. Billy had followed Harry to the grave not even days after his death on the 16th. It was the 17th now.
"Stop lying to me!" She screamed pulling her hair as she sobbed.
"I'm not lying, Destiny. I'll be over in a bit." He hung up.
She screamed out throwing her lamp and her pillows. She tore her sheet off and threw every book from her bookshelf creating a crack in her bedroom window.
"WHY DO THEY ALL LEAVE ME!?" She sobbed falling to the ground.
Charlie came a few minutes later to help her clean and put her to bed.
"Charlie-" Destiny's mind with blank with a mix of alcohol and the kiss.
"You're not dating anyone. I can't bare to watch him hurt you without even being her."
"C-Charlie." Destiny sucked in a deep breath before grabbing the other full bottle of vodka. "You're very thirsty." She joked but frowned when he didn't laugh back.
"If we do, then I don't want to remember it. It will hurt me more." She added
Charlie looked hurt but took a huge gulp anyways. They stared at each other before Charlie caressed her face.
"W-Wait. Wait. Wait. Don't do that. No." She pulled his hand away.
"Why?"
She sucked in a breath "He would do that. It brings back memories and I don't want to think about him with you."
"Then... Don't think." He whispered and kissed her deeply.
She succame to the kiss but everything felt wrong.
Was it Carlisle? Or maybe it was Charlie?
It just didn't feel right.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10
New Dive Assignment: 0B5 Personnel: Citizen of Gamma G-037-072 Jonathan Kelly World Designation: Epsilon H-037-072-030-010 Classification: Pre-industrial Exotic World, significant outliers in biosphere including atypical flora and fauna. Quarantine protocol in effect pending more data and acclimation testing. Further anomalies include populations of morphologically distinct humanoids, and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws. Causal chain appears provisionally stable. For the purposes of delaying onset of collapse as well as above mentioned factors, only one subject is cleared to Dive. Initial mandates shall proceed with scouting and surveillance. Further details are classified. Warning: All other qualifying personnel are currently dispatched. Refusal will result in deployment delays and possible unsupervised causal decay. Do you wish to accept this assignment? Note to Readers: This is not MC isolated in a new world. This is new world joins the multiverse. What I'm tentatively coining Subverted Isekai (Formerly I used 'reversed' but, as pointed out, that would be fantasy MC goes to the modern world. Hey, there's idea! Not this book though.). There is plenty of scientific and philosophical stuff; I know that can be a turn off for some. It has a strong bearing on the story, but is mainly covered in the 'Comments & Calculations' section (optional reading of course). If you are looking for an extreme suspension of natural laws with no technical considerations, you will not find it here. Formatting Notes: Audio chatter from characters that are not currently in the scene I format in "inverted commas and italics". Given the layered nature of modern communication, I thought this distinction was best denoted visually in my prose. Critique is welcome. Language Notes Jon is a South African ex-pat. As such he will use some Afrikaans colloquialisms plus a dash of Japanese. Most importantly he says “Ja” meaning “Yes”. Pronounced with a J sound like “yo” and an A sound like “bar”. As in: “Yo, let’s go to the strip bar.” “Ja.” And not the Rastafarian /jya/. Other words: Nee - /niya/ : no Juffrou - /yif-row/ : Miss Lekker - /lacker/ : nice, good, delicious Nooit - /noit/: never The rest is mostly swear words. Indisputably the most useful words in any language and simultaneously holding the least innate meaning. Fok - “fork” without the “r”: fuck Bliksem - /Bluksim/: darn, damn. Also common noun meaning damn person or thing. Donner - “Dorner” without the “r”: originally meaning thunder, can also mean darn or damn. It is often used as a verb meaning: ‘to hit hard’ Kak - /kuck/: shit Voetsek - /foot-sack/: go away

Seven years have passed since that fateful night, and those paranormal events still haunt Odion. Something far beyond human comprehension lurks within Apollo, and keeping it a secret is of Odion’s utmost importance. However, his deepest fears rise to the surface when a list of grisly murders takes place the night of their high school dance, making Apollo a prime suspect. Knowing the police will be no match for him, Odion embarks on a mission to take his brother down—even if that means he dies trying. Apollo knows he’s innocent of the crimes that took place the night of the dance. But with virtually no way of clearing his name and nearly every task force unit in the province of Ontario searching for him, Apollo is forced to make a decision. Sacrifice his freedom for a heap of crimes he didn’t commit or defend his rights by unleashing the monster he had buried within, even if that means many innocent lives will be forfeited.
