《The Ground ( O.BxO.C)》A Walk?
Advertisement
I'm currently sitting on the ramp of the drop ship with Clarke while she is examining a map.
"we got problems, the communication system is dead i went to the roof a dozen panels are missing heat fried the wires" Wells says walking up to Clarke
I just sit listening to them "well all that matters right now is getting to mount weather, see look" when Clarke say this i lean over to look at what she is doing. "this is us" she marks a spot on the map "this is where we need to get to if we want to survive" she makes a line down to another point.
"where'd you learn to do that" Jaha Jr. asked. Looking over Clarke said nothing. So i decide to make my presence known.
"her father" i say they snap their heads to look at me. Clarks eyes go wide in shock as she resinizes me.
"Jess?" she looks at me disbelief almost.
"ocean eyes" i say back she went to say something when Jasper came up behind her.
"ah cool a map" he says standing in between Wells and Clarke. He looked at me "they got a bar in this town ill buy you a beer" he said not recognizing me i laughed.
"sure J.J" i say right as Wells gets aggressive at his flirting thinking it was addressed towards Clarke. Grabbing Jaspers arm and pushing him back "do you mind" Wells said.
"whoa" jasper replied
"hey, hey, hey, hands off him he's with us" i know that voice. I turn to see my younger brother walking up with his goons behind him. He hasn't seen me yet i wanna see were this goes.
Wells takes his hands off him holding them up in defense "relax we're just trying to figure out were we are" he say.
"we're on the ground. that not good enough for you?" Bellamy asked in a 'fight me bitch tone' and a face of disgust. Standing beside him is Octavia glaring at Wells.
Wells turning again to face Bellamy "we need to find mount weather you heard my father's message that has to be are first priority" he says walking towards Bellamy.

"screw your father" Octavia spat from beside her brother. "what you think your in charge here" she asked looking at Clarke "you and your little princess" she added.
"do you think we cares whos in charge" Clarke questioned "we need to get to mount weather not because the chancellor said so, but because the longer we wait, the hungry well get and the harder this'll be" she paused and looked around "how far do you think well get without those supplies we're looking at a 20-mile trek, ok" she looked around again. "so if we want to get there before dark we need to leave now" she finished
"i got a better idea, you two go find it for us, let the privileged do the hard work for a change" Bellamy said. A bunch of 'Yeahs' broke out from the crowd.
"your not listening we all need to go" Wells said.
"look at this everybody" Murphy pushed him, "the chancellor of earth" he mocked. It was quite funny to see him humiliate Wells. The crowd laughed and murmured.
"think that's funny" Wells said trying to sound intimidating but falling when Murphy kicked his ankle. I spotted that boy who was floating in the drop ship on the roof. He was gonna interfere, but his eyes met mine and I gave him a look saying I got it.
"wells" Clarke worried tried moving forward put was held back.
"yeah get him" a random boy yelled from the crowd.
"no but that was" Murphy said replying to Wells previous statement. Wells struggling to stand got into a fighting stance. "all right" Murphy said putting is hands up as well. The crowd cheered in hopes of a fight.
"come on come on" Murphy said waving his hand toting Wells to make the first move. Alright now this is getting good time to stop it. I walk in-between the two " As much as i love to see this kids got one leg" i gestured to Wells then looked back at my brother, "how bout you wait till its a fair fight" i said shock written all over Murphy's face.

"Hey scar girl" referring to my scars on my face. I turned to see Octavia walking up "rescue me next" she said in a seductive tone. I smiled at her and saw my brother go to walk off. I walked off to go after him and his goons.
"John!" I yelled and he came to a halt and turned to face me. I stood as he stared at me intensely looking at my face his face soften.
"Jess I haven't seen you in so long" he rushes me into a hug. "i know John but we will talk later right now i have to go deal with something" i tell him his face shows sadness and annoyance.
"fine" he say giving me one last hug then walking off with his goons. I walk up to where I saw Clarke with Wells and that boy again. He turns and grabs Monty and Jasper as I walk up.
" four of us can we go now" the boy states I can only assume they were talking about Mount Weather. "make it five" I say popping in the conversation.
"sounds like a party make it six" Octavia walks up and of course we she goes Bellamy follows. He grabs her shoulder and starts talking but I tune it out looking at Jasper and Monty. Clarke started talking about the metal bands on are wrist. I looked at Bellamy he had an idea i know he did it was written on his face. We start walking the one boy in front, Jasper, Monty, Me, Octavia, and then Clarke because she wanted to tell Wells something.
"before you get any ideas she's mine" I heard Octavia say to Clarke. A smirk played across my lips as I knew she was talking about me.
"before you get any ideas I don't care" Clarke responded. We walked a few minutes before we came upon these beautiful purple flowers. I grab one and look at it before putting it behind Octavia's ear and walking back to Jasper and Monty.
"now that my friend, is game" he said to Monty
"And that my friend is poison sumac" Monty responded grabbing one.
"what it is" Octavia said pulling the one I gave to her out of her hair.
"the flowers aren't poisonous there maieutical calming actually" he explains. I grab one and put it in my mouth chewing. "not bad" i say making them laugh lightly. The boy looks at Monty weird.
"oh his family grows all the pharmaceuticals on the ark" Jasper says catching onto the boys weird gaze.
"hey guys would you try to keep up" Clarke says from the front.
"Come on Clarke how do you block all this out" the boy ask.
"well its simply i wonder why haven't we seen any animals maybe its because there are none maybe we have already been exposed to enough radiation to kill us" she says "sure is pretty though come on" she stats sarcastically and turns around.
"someone needs to slip her some Poison Sumac" Octavia whispers. We all lightly laugh at her joke. We start walking again when the boy say "i got to know what you two did to busted" he points at Monty and Jasper.
"Sumacs not the only herb in the garden if you know what i mean" Monty replied.
"yeah someone forgot to replace what we took" Jasper says looking at Monty. "Someone has apologized like a thousand time" Monty sasses. The laughs and points at me "what did you do" i looked at him and sighed.
"A lot" I look down not wanting to explain.
"How about you Octavia what did they get you for" Jasper ask enthusiastic to learn what his crush did.
"being born" she says coldly on jogs up to Clarke who is looking at something threw the bushes.

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]
8 177RE: Choice
Misaka is a shy misunderstood 16-year-old boy in his first year of high school in Japan. His parents wanted him to be a girl, so they gave him a girl's name. He grew up being bullied and ostracized by his peers. In junior high, he developed a crush on a girl in another school who greeted him with a smile. Later, he found out the girl's name was Lucy and applied to the high school she was going to. One year later, he musters up the courage to confess his feelings for her only to find out that she was the wrong girl all along. Suddenly, a piano falls on top of him and he dies.He finds himself in front of one that calls himself God. He takes pity on Misaka and bestows him with the name Durrendal. He gives him another chance at life in another world and lets him pick a power of his choosing to take into the world. Story is going to be heavy reader interactive. Expect short frequent chapters. One chapter every few days. Two per week minimum. If I feel like it, more than that.Your choices WILL influence the story. It determines whether you get a game over (may discover new information), go around in circles never advancing the story, or advancing the story. Consequences of certain actions will shift Durrendal toward evil or good. The default personality of Durrendal may be ""pervy"" but depending on the actions that he takes it can be reversed. Think of the character as a game character. You are playing a game. It does not require that you make an account to vote. So screw around or advance the story? It's up to you.
8 94Squire Named Jack
Jack is an ordinary squire, a servant to his master. He hauls swords for him, does his laundry, cleans his shoes, generally does whatever his master tells him to do.

And all would be fine... if Jack didn't have one little secret.... What is it? You'll find out for yourself! Author's Note: I am translating this book using Google Translate, so the grammar may be lame, but I really care about what people on this site think, so I am posting this book here.
8 169Naga rising (Final version)
Eshanai used to think that her life was pretty good, that the elders of her tribe of Naga sisters had their best interests at heart. But one suspiciously regular disaster after another sort of makes you question things. So when Eshanai decides to go out on the island to do the unthinkable, break some rules, and nothing terrible happens to her like the elders said it would, her questions start to multiply. What else could the elders be wrong about? Were the Naga really chosen by the spirits? And could there be other people out there, beyond their island? Follow Eshanai and some of her sisters as she tries to find a way to leave the island and comes up with increasingly creative ways to get into a certain Oni's pants. Author's note: This is not a rewrite of my original Naga rising story. It's more of a reimagining, as it contains many of the same characters and settings but will have a completely different plot. Be advised that the two are not related to one another. This should not be seen as any form of sequel or prequel story. So I have caught up to my backlog, and at first, I thought I could release a chapter once a week. That turned out to be unrealistic as I am writing in my spare time, so periods of inaction might not be uncommon. Some of the tags might not come into effect until later on in the story.
8 90Why The Hell Not
Sweat started to form all around my body as the pain consumed me. It was 9pm and this had to be the worst wave of heat I've ever experienced! My body ached as the flames traveled from my core, spreading to the rest of my body. I hate heat, every type of heat, but mainly this one. Heat, in my pack, is a bitch! The second you turn 16 your heat starts. Then for the rest of your life you get a heat cycle once a month, as if having a period isn't bad enough. The heat happens right after your period, leaving you 2 weeks of peace as a woman if you find your mate your 16 years of life! If you did not find your mate at 16, when you turn 17 it will be every 2 weeks! Your period is still once a month, thankfully, but the heat cycle directly after your period is the strongest! Leaving you ONE week of peace...unless of course you don't find your mate by the time you turn 17. If you are unlucky enough to not have found your mate by the time you are 18, then yes it will be EVERY week! Leaving you NO peace!!Basically the longer you go without finding your mate, the more heat you will go through. If you're 20+ then it could be EVERY hour! Once you find your mate it goes back down to once a month, thankfully. Lucky, or lucky for me, I'm 17...meaning I've gotta deal with this every 2 weeks. This one in particular is the worst one yet! I grabbed the water on the side of my bed and tried to fix my dry throat.......
