《Rookie Sequel》Part 9
Advertisement
Louis is moving onto the last file in the pile when Drew walks back into the office.
"What's going on?" Louis asks Drew
Drew shrugs
"Some big crack in a case upstairs, media room was full, I couldn't get in" Drew says
Louis nods
"Want to go get some lunch?" Drew asks
"Nah, I'm not hungry. I can hold down the fort while you go, I still have one file to go" Louis says smiling
Drew nods
"I'll bring you something back" he smiles
"Coffee would be awesome" Louis says shyly
"Anything for you" Drew says as he goes to leave
"Oh, and Jake is looking for you, has a packet of gummies for you" Drew says.
Louis laughs.
"He owes me two packets, I won both bets the cheapskate" Louis jokes.
Drew laughs.
"If I see him, I'll let him know" Drew smiles
Louis chuckles and goes back to his file. Harry and Scott haven't tried to contact him and he is a little upset that they are still mad at him. Scott hates when there is tension between them all and Louis feels bad knowing he's caused it. He knows Scott is upset about it and hopes he doesn't start resenting Louis. Harry was so cranky at him this morning. Louis hated seeing Harry like that, hates the feeling in his gut that he's caused Harry to be upset, that he's caused Harry to be disappointed in him.
Louis sighs
He leans back in his chair and rubs his hands over his face.
Everything was going so well and now it feels like it's all falling apart again. Louis wishes they could have stayed in their little bubble in Jamaica, where Harry and Scott loved him and their was no distractions and shit with his dad and Cody and Rhys. He hates causing trouble and he feels like that's all he's doing recently.

Louis thinks it's best if he maybe sleeps in the spare room for a while, give Harry and Scott some space. He just hopes everything will be okay and they won't want to end their marriage before it's even really started.
Louis makes it back into the apartment around 6pm, Harry and Scott already home and watching TV. Louis normally would have had a message from them asking him where he was, but there wasn't any calls or messages. Louis thinks he's really fucked up.
"Hey Lou" Scott greets him from the couch
Louis half smiles in greeting
"There's dinner in the oven for you" Harry says, his tone is still cold.
"Um thanks" Louis says.
He's not hungry whatsoever but he doesn't want another fight to break out over him not eating, so he makes his way to the kitchen and grabs his dinner out of the oven. He grabs a drink of water and sits at the bar stool alone. He ends up lost in thought just playing with his food.
"How was your day?" Scott comes in to ask as he kisses Louis on the head smiling.
"Fine, how was yours" Louis asks
"Long" Scott says and Louis nods.
"How are you feeling?" Scott then asks as he checks Louis temperature, he's a little warm but nothing too severe.
"I'm fine, just tired" Louis says as he goes back to playing with his dinner.
"Come watch TV?" Scott asks
Louis looks to the couch and Harry is just sitting there watching a show with an angry look on his face.
"I don't think I'm really welcome right now. I'm just going to go have a shower and have an early night" Louis says as he gets up.
He begins walking to their bedroom
"Lou, wait please. We are married now, this is a stupid fight that needs to be sorted out. Can we just sort it out" Scott asks as he looks between Louis and Harry.

"Louis knows how to fix this Scott, it's his problem" Harry says harshly
"Harry" Scott says
"By fix it you mean follow your demands? I am capable of making my own decisions when it comes to work and my health Harry, I'm not 12, I'm 22 years old, I can look after myself" Louis says upset.
"You can can you? Well you do just that then Louis. Don't call me if you're in trouble, don't ask for my help and I'll treat you like one of the normal recruits from now on" Harry says.
"I've never asked you to treat me any different, that's on you, if you're going to go back to how you treated me at recruits, fine, do it, I handled it then and I'll handle it now you big jerk. I thought we were married and had a proper relationship? You're my husband, I took your name and you're going to treat me like a recruit at home too? You're just pathetic Harry, screw you" Louis says upset and he turns to leave.
Harry sighs, he's a huge jerk
"Rookie" Harry tries.
"Don't fucking call me that again" Louis says angrily and storms off
He has a shower and gets dressed for bed, he falls asleep alone in the spare room and if he sheds a few tears, he'd never admit it to Harry and Scott.
Harry feels terrible and when they both walk into their bedroom to turn in for the night, they see it's empty and it really unsettles both of them.
"I'm sorry" Harry turns to Scott and says seriously
Scott sighs
"Please just fix it H" Scott says and he hops into bed.
Harry gets in behind Scott and holds him close, he will give Louis his space tonight and fix things first thing in the morning.

The Worldforge: Warlock Rising
Abandoned as an orphan, Mar was tested for magic by the Mages of Orelm and was found to possess immense magical potential, but when he grew old enough to start his training he found he was unable to cast so much as a single spell! Embarrassed by their mistake, the mages threw him in the library where he read books and tutored the mage students for a bit of money. All the while, he can’t help but envy the the students who are living the life he had so eagerly awaited. But when an object of great and malevolent power promises to make good on all the promises the mages broke to him Mar is thrust into the world of magic. Mar will find that fate had something more than a life confined to the library planned for him after all. Authors Notes: I consider this to be a comming-of-age Sword and Sorcery story based mostly on the style of classic western fantasies. So if that's your thing then I encourage you to take a peek. Something I want to mention though is that the main character starts of pretty wimpy, and that might not be your thing. That being said, if you stick with him he's got a long way to grow. Also, while this version of the story is meant to be fully readable, more dicerning readers may want to wait until I move out of rough draft phase. There may be some inconsistancies with character and plot while I am still in the rough draft phase. I'm sorry for this, but this is my first web novel and from what I've read the best way to get a good novel out is to write write write, and then edit ruthlessly after you're finished with the book, so that's the plan I'm going to follow. Again, this is a rough draft. Everything you are reading is subject to change, including the name, title, and cover photo. This may no longer be the case once I've decided I know where this fiction is going and I have a reasonable understanding of the characters and their behavior. You're reading what comes off my keyboard as it's made, with very limited editing. There will be mistakes in the text. I do a quick spell check to take out the worst of the errors, but there will be some I miss. You can point them out in the comments if they are particularly confusing or glaring and I will try to fix them, however I am not overly concerned about minor errors as this is not the final draft by any means.

Long Shadow
No destiny, no choice, no hope. Our protagonist, a coward summoned to a world meant for heroes; a new world with new rules and old cruelties. Join him on his adventures as he must deal with menus, monsters, and mysteries in this litrpg fantasy. Thomas Goodwill was an average boy with an average life, all that changed when he woke up in a new reality. Now, out of his depth, damn near out of his mind, he must learn to survive in a game-like reality with no reloads, checkpoints, or save scumming. He does, however, have a drunk snake. Thank you for reading my first story, hopefully, the first of many to come. This will be my main story and is meant to help me practice and hone my skills as I slowly produce more complex ideas. It's a litrpg in which I want to only lightly focus on the mechanics as I don’t want to pad out the word count with math and number tables and while I want to add a few of my own twists here and there, overall I’m going to keep this story close to generic as possible so that I don't let my inexperience lead me into a corner. Thanks again to all willing to leave a review or some constructive criticism, without you I'd never improve. Unfortunately, Cover art is by me.

Moonblood
Five moons rise over Evanir, each in her own cycle, and each moon is also a god, one of five sisters. Many gods create spirit attendants and companions, brought forth fully-formed. Long ago, the moons worked together to create a lineage that are, instead, humans transformed by the mingling of blood. They intended them to be long-lived and to draw their strength directly from the light of the moon who chose each individual. The five sisters had different goals in mind – one wanted it to be a blessing for scholars and artists, to give them more time and fewer physical distractions; another wanted them to have an animal form, different for each, to keep them more in tune with nature so they could serve as guardians of the wilderness. There are drawbacks to their children having human lives and personalities before being chosen: not all share the goals of their divine mothers, and some choose to put their gifts to darker uses. Those carrying the blood of one woman, fleeing the corruption in search of a quiet life, take a different path. -=-=-=-=- Moonblood isn't so much a novel as a series of adventures of varying length. They involve a core group of people, which does grow over time. They take place in a fairly low-magic world, but despite that, our core cast are directly connected to the moons and have various abilities, including limited shapeshifting to a single individual animal form. As with all my work, unless gender, orientation, or other aspects of sexuality are explicitly stated, I suggest not making assumptions. Probably most significant, I think, is a major trans character who appears about 80K words in - no spoilers, just a note for those who care about that one way or the other.
