《Disappearance》Chapter 18
Advertisement
I was so nervous right now because I'm just a hour we were going to find out if that little girl is ours or not.
"You okay". Jahreem asked brushing his teeth as he walked out of the bathroom.
"Yeah just nervous because I don't know the outcome". I said buttoning up my shirt as I sat on the bed.
"The way that little girl looked at me you can't tell me that's not my daughter". He said with a smile on his face.
"I'm surprised she actually took the bear from you that day". I said standing up grabbing my dress pants.
"Shit me too but I'm glad she did cause it had my voice recorded in it". He said wiping his face with a face towel.
"That's so sweet". I said with a smile on my face.
"Shit baby we need to hurry up". He said looking at the clock.
I look over and see we have thirty minutes to get to the courthouse.
Pulling up outside we get out and he grabs my hand as we walk in. Looking over I see Dr Louis and his wife and the lady from the hospital with the little girl.
"Let's get started who has the results". The judge asked looking between the two lawyers.
"That would be me your honor". Our lawyer said handing the envelope to the office that walked over.
He handed them to the judge and he opened the envelope reading over it.
"It looks like that little girl does indeed belong to the Mitchell's". The judge said and I passed out.
I feel something lean on me causing me to look down and see Marlowe passed out. Our lawyer handed me a paper and I started fanning her and after a good minute or so she woke up.

"She's ours that's Haisley". She asked looking at me and I nodded my head with a smile.
"Mr and Mrs Louis are set to spend 45 to life with no bail or possibility of parole and your license is also revoked". The judge said slamming the gavel.
Greta the social worker walked over and tried to hand Haisley to Marlowe but she started crying reaching for Mrs. Louis. She then tried giving her to me and she came without a problem laying her head into my neck.
"Thanks for helping us man". I said shaking hands with our lawyer.
"It's no problem really I'm just glad you guys caught on to this now and not when she was older". He said and I nodded.
"You ready to go".I ask looking over at Marlowe and she nodded grabbing my hand.
Walking out we get to the car and I go to strap Haisley in but she starts to cry.
"I'm gone sit back here with her". I said handing Marlowe the keys and getting in.
Leaning back Marlowe starts the car and pulls off.
Walking into the house I had to use the bathroom so I handed Haisley to Marlowe and she started crying but I really had to piss so I went ahead and went.
Washing my hands I walk out and Haisley was still crying.
"Can you take her I just need a minute". Marlowe said handing her to me and walking away.
Looking down she was sniffling already looking up at me.
"What's wrong mama's". I ask walking to her room and taking a seat in the rocking chair.
Leaning back she lays her head on my chest and after a while I look down and she was sleep. Standing up I place her in her crib before walking out cracking the door.

Going to our room I walk in and Marlowe was crying.
"Baby what's wrong". I ask wrapping my arm around her.
"She hates me". She said and I shook my head.
"Baby she doesn't hate you she's just not used to you yet she's used to that other lady". I said kissing the side of her forehead.
"Then how come she goes to you so easily". She asked and I shrugged my shoulders.
"I can't really tell you that but what I can tell you is that when she gets used to you she gone want you all the time". I said causing her to smile.
"Let's take a nap while she sleep and then we can go do something when she wakes up". I said laying down and she did the same laying her head on my chest.
Looking up at the ceiling I start to wonder.
Why is she so willing to come to me...

The Foretold: Sun Child (Complete)
As a sixteen year old commoner, your future is bleak. Worse, your appearance sets you apart from others. Your only achievement so far, is befriending the second son of the Lord of the Keep. He has been your only friend for eleven years, initially partner in mischief and later your hunting companion and confidant. Now your friendship is being torn asunder, he has turned eighteen and is being sent away to become a Judge Knight Aspirant. What is to become of you? Before your friend leaves, there is murder and conspiracy! Magic left the land hundreds of years ago, all you have is your bow and hunting skills, nevertheless you must fight to survive and save another to have any hope of a future! Note: The graphic isn't mine; it is a re-imagining of a few separate images, any objections by original artists let me know. N.B. If you are looking for Sexual Content every chapter, or every second, third or fourth chapter this isn't the story for you - the Sexual Content is required for a plot device, not a way of life and the later chapters reflect that - please stop dropping Low Ratings when you feel I haven't met your idea of "fan service". This is finished as much as a multi book vision can be finished. At 750,000 words give or take and very little readership I can only blame myself. I have learnt a lot, possibly forgotten a lot as well! I will probably return to the Chapters at some point - a touch up here and a touch up there. The second book though will probably remain in my head for a very long time, so yes "cliffs" although I hope the characters and their motivations are developed enough that you can have a good guess at the content of Book Two and tell me so I can confirm or deny! This isn't a LITRPG where classes are developed, great foes are defeated by a hero of immense power. This is a story based within (I hope) a very real and consistent culture, that leaves breadcrumbs for the reader to work out what the heck is happening and why. This is a slow burn story as the MC is stumbling around discovering her new place and role. Author's Note (Apr 2021): I dropped the Fantasy Genre for the Mystery Genre, because while the setting mentions magic, is it about past glories and trying to return to them. Whereas the MC from Chapter One doesn't understand her predicament and the range of mysteries she must solve to survive. If I have this wrong PM me and I will change this back.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
