CHAPTER FIVE
“Do you believe it was a suicide?” she said after a moment of silence between both of us
“look we are not that close yet, don’t you think you’re meddling too much into my business?”
Yeah for real this was getting really weird. I mean I just met her why is she acting like we’ve known each other for such a long time
“I didn’t mean to I’m sorry” she said looking sober
Gosh this girl was making me feel really guilty. I didn’t sound mean, did I?
“let’s just go out, to a park maybe”
She seemed to agree because she just nodded and dropped the half empty ice cream bowl in the fridge dumping the spoon in the sink. I grabbed my jacket and the house keys to lock the door behind us.
The park was cool, a lot of kids were there. Adults who just felt like whiling away were also there, heads buried in their smart phones. We talked about a lot of stuff, the town, our hobbies, our school and pretty much our past relationships
“My best friend’s name is Ashley or was Ashley I might say” I said drawing circles with my feet and my hands in my pocket
“what happened? Did she move far away or something?” she bent to pick up a stone she seemed pretty interested in
“actually we moved faraway, to Los Angeles where we are”
“why did you move here, work?”
“private family business stuff like that I can’t really explain”
“no problem I understand” she paused for a while trying to bring up a conversation
“this Ashley girl don’t you have her phone number or something?” she continued looking directly at me, eyes piercing mine
“nope, all possible connections have been cut some way or the other” I said with regret in my guts

“boyfriend?”
“never, unnecessary distractions”
That was the last thing I was going to blurt out. I had to find out more about her I’m not the only one who’s got a history
“why don’t you tell me about yourself” I straightened my shoulders and held my chin high to look really confident
“Sure, that’s easy. I am the only child of my parents, my mum was killed in a fire two years ago...”
“outbreak?”
“arson. They wanted us to believe it was an outbreak but my dad and I aren’t that easy to deceive. We formed our very own two-person intelligence team and gathered evidences to get the killers behind bars for the rest of his life” she looked at the lemonade stand so it wasn’t easy for me to see if she was tearing or she simply didn’t want to look in my direction
Arson? Her mum was murdered. Now that’s really huge she’s really tough to tell me this. Wait what if my mum was murdered? No, no way it was definitely a suicide I mean no one on earth can possibly think of murdering an angel
“you think my mum was murdered?” I said without thinking straight. I had just poured out exactly what I had in mind
She walked over to seat right beside me with her hands crossed over her chest
“have you asked what your dad thinks?”she looked at me with a smirk patched on her face
“he probably believes it was a suicide too just like the rest of the world” I said with a huge sigh
“what do you think?” she held both my shoulders this time and looked me straight in the eye as if she were studying my pupils. She waited patiently for my answer as I shifted my gaze from her to my nails then back to her
“I think I have a lot of unanswered questions” I swallowed hard
“I think we have a crazy adventure ahead of us”

Grimdark Ash: Twisted Fantasy
The Dreamer wanders the Kingdom. In a world of giants, gnolls, trolls, and magic, his only goal is to slay Royalty. With his powerful mental attacks, courtesy of his highborn heritage, he wreaks havoc on those that stand in the way of his sole purpose in life. Grimdark Ash is a fantasy world that my writing takes place. In this world, there are many different creatures and systems that are common to fantasy themes. For example, there are adventurers, magic, and guilds. However, what differentiates this world from the plethora of other fantasy settings is the everlasting dark theme. (Hint: Grimdark) In Grimdark Ash, basic survival is incredibly difficult, often due to corruption, aggression, or the basic dangers presented through the land.

Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
