《Her Terrifying Love》Part 33
Advertisement
In the kitchen, Darcy clumsily shoved shot glasses at Richie, Jack, and Lyla. Half the liquor spilled.
"Hey, watch the coat," Richie admonished. "Are you from spill-a-delphia?"
"Sorry." She lifted a shot glass to her lips and toasted herself. "Happy birthday, Darcy!"
"Happy birthday, Darcy," Lyla, Jack, and Richie chimed in. They tossed back their shots. Lyla winced.
In the living room, Clarisse muttered, "Who are you? ... Who are you?" She shook her head sharply, her eyelids drifting open revealing only the whites of her eyes.
Lindsey yanked her hand free of Clarisse's. Wide-eyed guests sitting nearby gasped.
The candle's flame elongated.
Clarisse strained to speak. "Out of the darkness... Asking for help, but... Someone here has caused great pain." A single tear rolled down her cheek.
Eyes darted back and forth around the room.
Clarisse continued, "Someone... someone here has left you behind... You are... You are reaching out. A warning..."
The candle's flame danced wildly, glowed intensely, and went out. Frightened cries arose from some of the guests.
Clarisse's eyes popped open. She stared directly at Lyla and Jack. "You have unfinished business." She scowled.
Everyone in the living room turned and looked at them. Lyla's smile melted. The beer bottle slipped from her hand.
CRASH!
Clarisse exhaled. "Said not finished."
"Who said?" asked Jack.
"The voice."
"What voice?"
Lyla gathered pieces of the broken beer bottle with trembling hands.
Clarisse closed her eyes and leaned back in her chair, her disposition taking a nosedive.
"Nothing creepy about that," said Richie, trying to laugh it off.
Clarisse locked eyes with Lyla, holding her in a firm, steely glare. "I need to go now," she rose from the chair and shoved the candle into her canvas bag.

"Awww. Don't go," Darcy begged.
A murmur filled the living room.
Clarisse averted her gaze from Jack and Lyla as she hastily crossed the living room and hurried to the front door.
Jack prodded, "What voice?"
Clarisse muttered, "It's getting late." She whisked out the door.
An uncomfortable silence expanded before the music resumed. Lyla and Jack shared a troubled look. Guests in the living room continued to buzz.
"You guys have any clue what all that drama was about?" Richie directed toward Lyla and Jack.
A guy sampled his beer and offered, "It's part of the show, right? The trick candle, the dramatic exit."
"Don't worry about her," Darcy said. "It was a dumb idea, anyway."
Lyla considered running after Clarisse to find out what dark signals she had picked up from the spirit world but as her heart thundered in her chest she reconsidered.
I probably don't want to know.

"There is no Good and Evil. Only Power." Because of an incident when he was ten years old, Kagami Ken had to suffer through excruciating pain due to a one-of-a-kind illness. After a particularly bad fit when he was twenty-three, Kagami Ken fell into a coma for six months! Upon awakening, Ken's intuition told him that his days were numbered, so he sets about doing things that he'd always wanted to do, but never could. Due to a sudden desire to do some good, Ken pours an extraordinary amount of money into a donation to a Charity organization he stumbles upon.

On his second lease at life, how will he choose to live? What goals will he aspire to achieve? What Chaos will he bring to this new world!? Find out by reading the story, cuz I honestly don't know! [This story is quite a slow burner, especially since 200+ pages are dedicated to his life before getting reincarnated.] [Chapter Length: 2500-3500 words (It can only be more, never less. Except for bonus/extra or interlude Chapters)] [Chapter Release: Once Every Sunday. Depending on certain factors, like story-pacing, I may post more.] [The Warning tags are just there to give me freedom when writing. I don't plan to be overly descriptive of schmex scenes and gore. Don't worry.] Hello! I'm Lire, and this is my first fiction! I know its going to be rough around the edges. But I'm trying my best to improve day by day. I hope you're patient with me if you do give this fiction a try! Correction suggestions are appreciated. Same with grammar corrections. English isn't my first language, so it would help me improve. I'll try my best to make as few mistakes as possible though! Constructive Criticism is very welcome. Anything to make my first brain-child, the best it can possibly be!! If all you do is diss it, without providing anything constructive, I'm ready to pour whatever creative juices I have on making up insults for you, your mother, and all your Ancestors! ...as long as I don't feel particularly lazy at the time. Also, if your diss makes me laugh while also being true, you get a pass too. I'll even give you rep. By the way, this work will be heavily influenced by (English TLed) Japanese Light Novels and Korean Web Novels. I mainly read that kinda stuff after all. With minor influence from Wuxia and Xianxia. Really, just a little though. Oh, and Harry Potter which I read repeatedly when I was a child. If you hate those types of novels, then please piss off immediately. I don't want to waste your time. Now, If you do like them, then please give my novel a shot! *bows*

The miner (Jeffrey Sokolov) and his Artificial Intelligence (Elizabeth - both the ship and AI were named after Jeffrey's late wife,) outsmart the pirates, capture them and bring them back to the Earth/Moon station - where they attempt to turn them over to the Naval ship, Wanigan. However Wanigan is in the process of mutiny. The executive officer of Wanigan sends a small squad of Marines under command of a petty officer. The petty officer realizes an opportunity, convinces Sokolov to join her cause, and together with the AI (Elizabeth) re-take the Navy ship, and restore her captain to command. In order to perform these acts, Sokolov and the ship Elizabeth are drafted into Navy Reserve. The captain of the Navy ship Wanigan re-recruits Jeffrey to act in a secret capacity, he is given an almost unlimited credit, the squad of Marines that came aboard to arrest Jeffrey, and the petty officer. Piracy and corruption are overly common, but Jeffrey, his team and his AI defeat the enemy, only to have it resurface shortly afterward. Aliens from several surrounding regions have found Earth and the solar system to be a rich source of mineral wealth. They secretly tried to manipulate humans to doing their will, and Jeffrey discovered that they were the organizers and force behind the piracy. Jeffrey and the navy take on the new menace, but new tools, including faster-than-light travel become available. Jeffrey and Elizabeth improve on the Navy's technical innovations, incorporate alien technology into their ship, and continue to dominate the region infested with aliens with somewhat superior and somewhat inferior technology.
