"Dear Shanice
It's been a month and some change since I last saw you. Everyday I ask myself if you okay, whether you safe or maybe you just forgot about me. My heart aches to the thought of you and someone else, I know you have every right to go out with whomever you want but I want that person to be me.
Only if I had known that the Christina you were talking about is my little sister I would have tried to prevent all of this. I honestly don't know if I would have succeeded but at least if I had tried. On the day she kidnapped me I was ready to come and say goodbye to you. I was honestly surprised by her arrival I didn't suspect nothing of it but just wondered how she knew were my house was. I wasn't phased by death but scared of leaving my mother and you.
I miss our late night talks, the mini stupid fights we'd have and mostly the goofy stuff we'd do. I miss you and I just want to hold you, feel you besides me and see that beautiful smile once again. Being away from you made me realize that my days are always blue without you because you always knew how to brighten them up.
Shane I'm honestly scared of feeling like this, I feel too much for you and I'm scared my heart will end up getting broken. I've always been one to play around and never about commitment. Then came you, you made me realize that life is too short to be hoeing around. You made me feel things I've never felt before, damn you made me get butterflies and that was all new to me.
I hope you waiting for me and that your patience won't run out. This will be over soon and if I don't make it out alive just know that, I love you.

Love
Nicole"
I hugged the piece of paper that was in my hand still not believing that she said she loves me. I wanted to scream, cry and laugh all at once. My heart was racing and I just knew I was definitely in love with her. I kept on smiling like an idiot and licking my lips pretending like Cole was here.
I definitely can't wait to see her.
I stood up and did my bed then headed to the bathroom to do my morning routine. I got done and stood in front of the mirror and started dancing to Dear Ex the (Jersey Club Mix).
I was proud of myself for not missing any beat! I took everything I needed then headed to the door. As I opened up I was met by someone I never even expected to see.
"Yow the fuck you doing here?", I asked confused and mad too. Like how the hell does she know where I live? "I've been waiting for your call ever since that day at the club", she said playing with her gum. RATCHET I SEE!
"Babygirl, you saw that I didn't call you so didn't you get the message?", "Actually no. I thought maybe you lost my number" she chuckled.
"Asanda I don't have time for this now, I got to go to school" I backed her up a bit so that I was able to lock the door. I then headed to the parking garage till I realized I didn't ask her how she found where I live.
"Eyy, how did you know I was here?", "Well Orlando your friend.." she started talking. "I know Lando, please get to the point", I said annoyed. "He posted a picture of y'all on Instagram and the location was there. Tina, my friend the one I went to the club with showed me the picture and it happens that she lives nearer. I slept at her place so that I could come over first thing in the morning and here I am" she said smiling.

Creepy! "O-kay" I said. She seemed like a chilled girl back at the club but now I totally have a different view on her. "Let me tell you something real quick" I said making her giggle a bit. Oh my God, why would she? "Look, I don't really live here. I came over to clean up some mess because my boss told me to. A girl died in here, well we did some things on her" I saw her eyes widening up, she seemed scared.
"I had met her at a bar a few months ago and I took her numbers, we hooked up and that was the end of her. I didn't call you because I actually think you cute and I don't want what happened to her to happen to you. But since you here then I guess I'll just have to", "No no no! Look I'll go please don't kill me. I won't ever come back here I swear" she said frightened by my words.
"And if you tell anyone about this, you'll definitely die because I know where you stay, where you work and where your family resides, so do yourself a favor and stay away from me. I'm not good for you, Okay Babygirl?" I said caressing her face making her tense up a bit. "Okay Okay" she said before running off.
When she was completely out of site I laughed so hard I had my eyes filled with tears. Damnn, I could've got scared too. Honestly I totally forgot about her but she was fine no lie.

I sang along to Matswale by Caiphus Semenya as I was driving to school. I just felt like I needed some chilled vibes before I got there and there was no other way than an old skool playlist yeah? Definitely.
_____________________________________________________________
Orlando kept annoying me the whole day and I definitely wanted to punch him so damn hard for enabling the location on that Instagram post. He kept on laughing about it and I was definitely fed up. So afterschool we all headed out to get some wings at Wingstop, y'all already know.
We got to the restaurant and ordered. While still waiting we were arguing about whether Outkast is still going to drop an album or never ever. I was saying never because Andre 3000 made it clear that he don't see himself being a 50 year old rapper and as he ages it all makes sense. Alex was determined that they were cooking something up.
"Nah bro when you get to your car just bump The End by Travis and Andre alright?", Lando said to Alex. "We ain't sendin' shots, we launchin' missiles!" Avah shouted making people look at us. We just laughed at that. "Yow niggas before we go our separate ways what time we meeting?" Ice asked. "You'll just see me pulling through" I said shrugging. "Same here bro", Lando said. We looked at Avah. "What are y'all looking at?", "Don't start at your milf's house" Alex said.
She smiled and said "Well, I might as well start there for some energy."

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Starchild
“It’s life’s illusions I recall. I really don’t know life at all.” from the song, Both Sides Now, by Joni Mitchell Starchild is an adventure novel set within an understanding of reality that is rooted in Eastern spiritual traditions.It takes as its starting point experiments in remote viewing that were genuinely undertaken by the American military in the nineteen-nineties under the name of the Stargate Project. It then imagines how a more advanced attempt to weaponise the capabilities of consciousness might have been developed in the present day.The story then explores how Ultimate Reality might respond to such a threat.Deep, elemental forces thus bring together Samantha Martin and Sahadeva Varma, old colleagues from the Stargate Project, to avert the apocalyptic consequences of this military attempt to weaponise consciousness. This fast-paced story spans genres including romance, action, adventure, science fiction and more. Although this story is based on concepts drawn from established spiritual traditions, these have sometimes been extrapolated to the point of very extreme speculation for the needs of an adventure story.Much of the underlying philosophy, however, as explained in the dharma talks given by Samantha Martin, is paraphrased from the guidance of respected spiritual teachers. Scheduling: Starchild is a previously unpublished novel of one hundred thousand words which was serialised in weekly instalments over twenty-five weeks from 15th November 2021 to the 29th April 2022. Each instalment contains five chapters – an average of approximately four thousand words in each instalment.
