《Unexpected》Black Mercedes
Advertisement
I take a sip of my iced tea checking my phone again for the time. A black Mercedes pulls into the parking lot, coming to a stop right near the door. Andy climbs out, smiling. She waves to whoever is in the car before closing the door and watching them speed off. She walks into the diner, taking a seat across from me.
“Hey, Skye! What’s up? How did the appointment go?”
“Don’t try to distract me. Who drove you here?”
She smiles, shaking her head.
“Nobody important. How did your appointment go?”
“Andromia Sanchez! Tell me who drove you here!”
“Fine!”
She leans in to me, lowering her voice.
“Don’t be mad at me.”
“I won’t now tell me!”
“Daniel Ezra.”
My jaw drops open, revealing my shock.
“I guess that’s more than a fling, right?”
“It’s just a casual thing every once in a while.”
“Oh yeah? How many times have you seen him in the past two weeks?”
She hesitates, deep in thought. It takes her a few seconds to finally respond.
“That doesn’t matter. He’s going with his family on a vacation next week anyway.”
“Does that mean that Peni is going with them?”
I don’t hide the desperation in my voice. I need to sort things out with Hunter. I need to see how life will play out.
“No. I think she’s going after them. Something about helping a client finish off the publishing process.”
Guess telling Hunter I’m pregnant will just have to wait until I’m showing then. Crap.
“So how did your appointment go?”
“Good vitals. Baby is doing well. At least, that’s what I’m guessing. They didn’t tell me anything but I need to make an ultrasound appointment.”

“Are you going to find out the gender?”
I can’t help but laugh at her question. It’s not the appropriate response, but heck with it.
“I don’t even know if I’m going to keep the baby let alone figure out the gender!”
Her face drops to a serious expression. The waitress comes over to take her drink order.
“A coffee, please.”
The waitress nods before leaving, cueing Andy to start her rant.
“Are you kidding me? You are keeping the baby. I won’t let you get rid of the baby. You’re going to tell Hunter and you’re going to make him care for you and his creation!”
“I’m not going to tell Hunter.”
Her coffee is placed in front of her and she grabs some cream and sugar.
“Fine. Do as you please, but I’m not letting you give up or get rid of my godchild.”
I can’t stop the laugh from escaping my lips.
“Godchild?”
She nods, completely serious.
“Yes. I am going to be this baby’s godmother.”
I shake my head, smiling. I’m not going to deny her either. She’s the perfect fit and she’s my best friend. She’ll be with me through the whole thing no matter what.
“Okay. For now, this baby is making me hungry. Let’s eat!”

The world is broken. The apocalypse came and went, and only a fragment of humanity is left, scrambled into an unrecognizable mess. The remainders of the earth are filled with monsters from imagination and worse.

One man, in particular, sees opportunity. A chance. A path forward, to bring humanity from the depths of despair and turn it into a victory - a luxury. To remake the world even better than it was, dragging earth forward onto the galactic stage. It will require violence, lies, betrayals, magic, more violence, and the occasional genocide. But, hey.

DEATH QUEST
You are Hayden Waltess. You have no skills, no money, one family member, and a few good friends. If you don't find a way to make six hundred golden claws within the next forty eight hours, your little sister Shale is going to die. Steal the money? You can't break wards, and you don't know anyone who can. Beg for it? You live in Lecliss, the corrupt capital city of Raun. Beggars pave the roads. No one will notice an extra pebble. Earn it? Not through any normal job. You'd be lucky to make even a single golden claw in a week. No. There's only one way to make that kind of money in time. In a corner of the adventurer's guild lit by a dim lantern, three long, dusty, ragged pieces of parchment are pinned to a huge board on the wall. Each piece of parchment has an enormous sum of money written in bold at the top, an illustration in the center, and then countless names of adventurers below, each name written in a different hand, each invariably crossed out with a thin red line. The sign above the board reads: DEATH QUESTS An interactive action/adventure story with game-like and horror elements, set in the same universe as my other story, Gattican Drive. You can also read it on webnovel. Updates once every three days (unless it doesn't)
