《The Other Swan (Twilight Fanfic)》Waking Up
Advertisement
i hear beeps, making me frown. where was i? last thing i remember was...getting off of the bus? did i make it home? or was somewhere else? i open my eyes and quickly shut them, jeez, who has this many lights? i slowly open my eyes again and look around, why was i in the hospital room...did i get ran over again? if i had...damn, I'm still not dead? go me.
i rub my eyes and my eyes scanned the room, my favorite blanket from home was covering me instead of the usual, thin hospital blanket they offer. i look and see a few balloons, a vase of flowers were in a vase, and there was my childhood stuffed koala. there was a knock and i look up and the most hot freaking i have ever seen. like, hot damn, yes you can be my doctor anytime.
"hello, Ms. Swan, I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen, how are you feeling?" Dr. Cullen asked.
how did i feel? i mean, i felt exhausted, my neck was killing me like crazy. my fingers went to my neck and i flinched back and Dr. Cullen steps to me and he grabbed my face, angling my face away and he hummed.
"it seems like the wound has opened up again" Dr. Cullen said.
"wound?" i asked, confused.
"oh my, do you not remember what happened?" Dr. Cullen asked.
"no" i said shaking my head.
"well, you were found near the road past out, we think it was some type of animal" Dr. Cullen said.
"oh wow...have you contacted my family?" i asked.
"yes, they're in the waiting room, do you want me to get them?" Dr. Cullen asked.
"sure" i said nodding.

he left and i reach over, grabbing my...now very cracked phone. i groan, but look at all the missed calls from Ray and only a few miss calls from dad and Bella, none from mom or Phil, whatever.
i yawn, pulling my hair into an awkward, messy bun. i call Ray, since he's the only real person that decided to call me while i was supposedly injured. the phone rings for a few and then the phone get's picked up.
"Kass?!" Ray asked.
"awww, is the great Ray sounding worried?" i asked.
"of course i am! jesus, kid, are you okay?" Ray asked.
"well, apparently i had an animal attack me and a nasty bandage on my neck, so..." i said trailing off.
"I'm driving down" Ray said.
"now, don't do that" i said.
"if Charlie picked you up, this wouldn't have happened!" Ray snapped.
"get your granny panties out of your crack, will you? I'm fine, just come down in a week or so" i said.
"fine...any request?" Ray asked.
"would you be a doll and buy me tampons" i said sickly sweet.
"funny, good to see you're doing better" Ray said.
"obviously" i said smirking.
"bye" Ray said.
"bye" i said.
i hung up the phone and toss it back on the table, probably cracking it even more. i yawn loudly and lean back, looking at the ceiling. the door opens to Dr. Cullen walks in with dad in tow.
"Kass" dad said.
he rushed by my side and i look at him with a blank stare, which he ignored and pulled me in a hug, which made me clench my teeth in pain. he didn't notice, he never did. i awkwardly pat his back and he smiles at me.

"how are you? any other injuries?" dad asked.
"not that i know of, where's Bella?" i asked.
"at school" dad said.
"isn't it still Saturday?" i asked.
dad shares a look with Dr. Cullen, who nods his head and steps closer. he grabs a flashlight and shined it my eyes and i slightly flinch back.
"you may have a slight concussion, you've been out for almost two days, making it Monday" Dr. Cullen said.
i nod my head and i rub my stomach, i was starving. dad took not of that, wow, surprising much.
"I'll go get you something to eat" dad said.
"okay" i said nodding.
he left and i look at Dr. Cullen, who was reading something on my charts. i study him, how in the hell was there someone that freaking handsome, it wasn't possible, or shouldn't be at least. I wonder if he has any sons.
"is everything okay?" i asked biting my bottom lip.
"i was just wondering about your medication dosage" Dr. Cullen said.
"huh, oh, uh, my heart, it has problems" i said shrugging
"would you like to be more specific?" Dr. Cullen asked.
was he being sarcastic? i think we will be getting along just fine...i wonder if i can get his number and be his buddy.
"my heart is too large for my body, just physically, not mentally, I've had surgeries, plus i have high blood pressure" i said.
"i see, your blood pressure is lightly higher than average" Dr. Cullen said.
"i haven't took my medicine in two days" i said giving him a look.
Dr. Cullen just chuckled and nodded his head. he walked across the room and gave me my small bag. i dug through it and took out the pill bottle. the pills were as big as my pink nail and pretty thick. i rub my eyes and yawn loudly. Dr. Cullen gives me a pixie cup full of water. i took one and finished the water.
"so, doc, tell me, what are the chances we can swap phone numbers and become binge buddies" i said cheekily.
Dr. Cullen just stares at me, looking taken aback and also slightly confused at what binge meant...how old is he? I'm sure he's watched Supernatural and Criminal Minds. i wonder if he's one of those people that don't believe in TV....you poor soul.
"er, Ms. Swan, i am flattered, but it would be unethical if i were to engage such things with you out of work and also, i am married" Dr. Cullen said.
What did that have to do with binge watching? i frown in confusion, but shrug my shoulders. Hey, maybe his wife didn't want other people watching TV with him, understandable.
"okay" i said shrugging.
he stared at me for a few seconds, looking like he wasn't too sure if i had understood or if he didn't understand, it was funny, so I'll just pretend that i have no idea what he was talking about. i just close my eyes, deciding to take a quick nap.

Tales From the Terran Republic
We tried, you know… We really did. We tried so hard to be… better… We actually were better once. No, seriously. We were enlightened, generous, peaceful… Stop laughing! We were! We were peaceful, dammit! No, I’m not “tugging your winglets.” It’s true! Look, if you’re going to be like that, I’ll just push the launch button right now. See ya, don’t wanna be… Oh, you ARE interested after all? Ok. Hey, I just got word that your captain will be ok. We were able to get him into a med pod quick enough… Of course, we tried to save him. Just what sort of people do you think we are?... Now that was harsh… completely accurate, mind you… but harsh. Anyway, like I was saying, we were a prosperous, peaceful people, and war had been nothing but a distant memory for over five hundred years before it happened... Before Yellowstone happened! You don’t mean to tell me that you didn’t know about that… massive supervolcano? Blew the Hell out of our planet? Two years where nothing grew?… Anyway, that’s what started it, the Sol Wars… Oh, you have heard about those, huh? Well, needless to say, all that enlightened, generous, and peaceful didn’t exactly make it through the two years of complete famine and the wars that followed… Maybe it’s more accurate to say the enlightened, generous, and peaceful among us didn’t survive… (laughs)… You’re right. It does explain a lot, doesn’t it? Probably for the best, though. “Enlightened” and “peaceful” aren’t really all that useful out here in the galaxy at large, are they? That reminds me; thanks for the ship. You guys did a great job with this one. Oh, don’t be like that. At least it was us what got you and not one of the really messed groups like the Harlequin or the Black Angels. We’re just going to take your shit. It could be worse… trust me... Well, anyway, we loaded the life pods down with some good food, and you guys can drink alcohol, right? We put in a couple of fifths in there, too. It’s about forty percent ethanol, so be warned. Most species will want to dilute that. We’ll drop your wounded off somewhere safe once they are stable. Your fleet patrols this area fairly regularly, and we’ll drop the distress beacon right before we jump… Well, It’s been fun and no hard feelings, right?… Oh, you want to know some more? Sure. I got time to kill… Let me tell you about this one pirate and her crew. They’re Terran scum, but they are still… Why do we hate the Terrans? Hoo Boy… How much time you got? *** It’s the thirty-second century, and humanity is now part of a galactic civilization comprised of hundreds of worlds. Humanity has been savaged by natural disaster and war and has been fractured into several separate populations, all of which loathe each other (some things never change). This is a gritty drama-driven rambling tale that swings between action, drama, horror, and plenty of very, very dark comedy. Warning: contains adult situations, absolutely horrible language, bathroom humor, implied ultra-violence, actual ultra-violence, drugs, alcohol, pirates, mercs, xeno prostitutes, moral ambiguity, deranged AI's with identity issues, giant commie space slugs, and a poor little frog girl who just wants to sell coffee. Updates twice weekly on Tuesday and Friday. *** Note: This story can get rough. Those warning tags? They aren't for show. I recently received a review and as a result I want to make one thing clear. Portraying something is NOT endorsing it! Many "heavy" topics are touched upon and just because a character says or does something does not imply that the author feels the same way. I selected the "Anti-Hero Lead" and "Villainous Lead" tags for a reason. Rule number one of this story is "no good guys". A good description of the story is, "bad people doing bad things to worse people". There are a few good characters, here and there, but they are the exception to the rule. If you want a hard-hitting, exciting, gritty sci-fi story that doesn't pull any punches, or shies away from "difficult" concepts, welcome! If you are set on a pure and noble knight that runs around and slays conveniently evil monsters and rescues totally innocent princesses... or your sensibilities are easily offended... You're not going to be happy with this one.

Epic Tales Variation: Aegis Kan
[Winner of the 2021 Writhathon Challenge] Volume 1 Powerless - without ability, influence, or power. That's what Aegis Kan previously known as Terrence Brown, felt when his world was invaded and his soul has whisked away to Gaia. Born as the firstborn of a Powerful Duke, Aegis finds himself in an entirely new world with magic and different paths to power; however, Aegis Kan is tasked with a mission as a Harbinger by the being, [Beyond], who invaded his world, took his soul, and chucked him and others out into the universe. Their task? Spread the System to the myriad races. This is his story, his Epic Tales. Volume 2 Syn Aegis and his cousin Amaya find themselves sent to the world of Prima on one mission and one mission alone. Conquer the world and add it the dukedom and Empires ever-growing resources. However, something weird happened to the planet right before their arrival. An overlap of the same world but darker and a merging caused by the shifting of realities have caused a nightmare Aegis has long forgotten to reappear. They... tHey... THEY... THe NOX ARE COMING! This story can be considered a slow burn and the everything is explained as the action commences and the story moves along. It is mostly told from Aegis perspective however there are several times when a side character perspective of an event matters so I'll put it in. Btw the first volume is a bit spotty as I am a new writer and still trying to find my rhythm. I believe it picks up speed around chapter 13-16ish Release Schedule: 4 chapters a week Wed-Sat 7AM GMT -6 Chapter length between 2000-3500. I try to stay around 2500-3000 but somethings the chapter just doesnt have a good cut off. Not all tags will affect the first volume and more will be added as the world is expanded.

Long War [Oldest]
It was a war. It was silent, so silent that few people ever noticed that it was happening, and long. So long that those who knew forgot why it ever started. Humanity had fought against itself... and lost. Prosperity, democracy and human rights were a thing of the past now, as the world fell into Sovereigns's hands - a handful of transnational corporations (and their CEOs) that monopolized the world economy. The resistance had been long silenced with the policy of bread and games. Now, over a hundred years later, something happened. One of the Sovereigns created a VRMMORPG like none other. A science fiction game, where players could explore the Galaxy... full of advanced technologies, bloodthirsty aliens and even magic. Was it a simple computer game, or... something else?

T.R.E.E.S.E.K.A.I.
Get hit by a truck, die, get reborn, the same old. But what happens when you're reborn as a tree? T.R.E.E.S.E.K.A.I. follows the story of a dryad in a frontier town, watching civilizations get born, thrive, and die on her roots, under her branches.This is more of an ongoing scratchpad of writing experimentation rather than a cohesive narrative so I might do weird things with it from time to time.

Heartbreak Town (COMPLETED)
Reagan Renne Walker left the tiny town that she grew up in in Wyoming five years ago to fulfill her dream of opening an equine therapy ranch in Montana & to start a new life. Reagan's parents died when she was just seven years old. Mallory, Reagan's older sister, was still too young to care for both herself and her sister.

They end up in this unexpected whirlwind relationship, and everything is hunky dory until Reagan finds out a secret from Swayde's past that would forever change the way she looked at him; a secret he kept from her for over ten years. Confiding in her grandma, Reagan finds out that her grandparents knew the secret all along too. How could the people she thought loved her hurt her so bad and keep this big of a secret from her for so long? When tragedy strikes back in Wyoming, Reagan is forced to move back to the town she swore she would never step boot in again, thus leaving her new life in Montana behind. Through God, can Reagan find a way to forgive the people who hurt her, or will she forever consider Alpine Ridge "Heartbreak Town?"
