《The Protected One》S t i l l

"Honey I'm home! I called as I swung the door open to our house.
As usual, there was no response but just the boys turning their heads and turning it back to the tv.
Marco let out an audible sigh and threw his bags by the door.
I made my way upstairs to my room and i almost fell rushing to Sophia Alice's room to ask her the details about her date.
I entered her room and the familiar layout , where she was lied out across her bed
I plopped down on her bed.
"Spill." I simply said.
She smiled and clapped her hands as she couldn't contain her excitement.
"He took me to sky diving! She said.
My mouth formed an 'O' shape.
"After that we got something to eat, and he bought me this," Sophia says reaching under her bed to grab something.
She pulls out a Sephora shopping bag, but pulls out a bear made out of white roses.
My jaw was on the floor.
"Oh my gosh Soph, how'd you get this past the boys? I asked.
"Well me having a Sephora bag is nothing out of the ordinary so they weren't too worried about it." She shrugged.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you! I gushed teaching over to hug her.
I always thought there was something going on between Sophia Alice and Chris, but before today, nothing was ever confirmed.
I was excited that Soph was ALREADY being treated like the queen she is.
We pulled away and she put it back under her bed.
"So...are you ever going to tell Marco? I ask.
Sophia Alice visibly cringes.
"As if I'd ever. He'd kill Chris, and then he'd kill me. Then the rest of our brothers will kill me." She says.

I nod my head in understanding. Our brothers have been pretty strict and firm about the whole 'no boys and dating' rule.
Especially Xander and Felix.
Not only has Sophia Alice broken those 2 rules, but the guy is her brothers best friend.
A recipe for disaster.
"Don't think I didn't see Benji's comment on that selfie," She says.
A laugh and hide my face in my hands.
A strange feeling went through my body and I couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"He was just being nice." I say.
Sophia Alice rolls her eyes. "All right, sure. When he has his tongue down your throat, I guess he's being nice then too." She says.
I jokingly push her shoulder.
"Girl shut up." I say.
"What? I'm just saying." She says.
"Mmhm." I say getting up.
I close the door to Sophia Alice's room and make my way into mine.
My room was less decorated compared to Sophia Alice's.
I didn't like too much color in my room even though my favorite color was pink.
I thought having a pink room was kinda tacky.
I threw my backpack on my bed and changed into more comfortable clothes.
I opened my laptop to watch Netflix when my phone dinged.
Claude: aye short stackz, wanna eat lunch with me tomorrow? I'll take you somewhere!
Me: sounds good. :)
I shut off my phone not waiting for a reply.
I began browsing through Netflix when I settled for Sierra Burgess is a loser.
I was almost done with the movie when I heard a knock on my door.
"Dinner time." Felix said.
I nodded my head and put my laptop to the side.
I made my way downstairs to see that our cook Rosa made us some chicken breast with Mac and cheese and greens.

I took a seat next to Soph, and Tomas, whereas Xander was across from me and next to him was Dylan and Marco.
After thanking Rosa for the food and letting her make her own plate to take home, we began eating.
"So I thought since were all together now would be a good time to tell you guys this." Xander began.
We all stopped eating and looked at Xander.
"Mom and dad won't be home for another couple of months." He said.
"Typical." I said lowly.
Mom and dad were always on business trips so it wasn't anything new. I really don't understand why Lawyers are needed so much over seas.
"Dad says the case in Europe is getting bad, so we're going to have to be extra careful not to throw anything away , and make sure dads office is untouched." Xander says slowly looking at everyone but Sophia Alice and I.
What does that have to do with anything?
I just nod my head while the boys are staring intently at each other.
Weirdos.

Sylver Seeker
After fulfilling the duty all arch necromancers are tasked with, Sylver Sezari was not expecting to ever wake up again. But he did. And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he’s alive once again. In a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face. Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content. -The story isn’t grimdark, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows either. There will be lighthearted and positive moments, as well as some sad ones. That being said, it’s a whole lot more light than dark. -This is a LITRPG story. Chapters are published every 2 days at 21:00 GMT. Author’s note:-It can get very GORY. I’m somewhat desensitized to gore and violence. So while the story isn’t full of gore for the sake of gore, it can get a little too descriptive.-The MC is a necromancer, so corpses and decay, and all the things that come with it, will be mentioned from time to time.-I’m a huge fan of Egyptian, Slavic, and Greek mythology, so expect quite a bit of that. That said, so much is altered, you’ll be hard-pressed to guess how exactly it is being used.-Despite being ‘immortal’ the MC can die. In the event he does, the story doesn’t end, simply time skips forward. Which in some cases is going to be worse than just dying.-I love plot twists, as much as I love red herrings and Chekhov guns. Deus Ex Machina’s not so much. Cover: https://angshumandhar.artstation.com/projects

Puppet Lord
In the year 2142, humanity’s technology has developed to the point of cybernetic and neural implants. People all have neural receptors attached to the brains, allowing for unfettered, 24 hour a day, global access to the neural net. A string of attempted break ins to a secure facility has authorities scratching their heads. Every few days, a new person is caught trying to force their way through checkpoints, reinforced doors, and cyber security. None of the perpetrators have any criminal history, and all are seemingly unconnected. Their methods are random, and worst of all, none of them have the foggiest idea why they there in the first place. Detective Jon Peld finally finds the common thread linking all the perps together, a vr mmo known as Istrius. Mind jacking is an outdated crime, one thought to have been completely eliminated centuries ago as the neural implant tech was perfected, but all the pieces fit. He can't convince his boss though, so there's only one thing left to do: investigate from the inside.

Saving Grace
"Dance with me." While I knew it wasn't a demand, it wasn't a question either. I hesitated and he noticed. "Come on Grace, give this gentleman the honor of a dance." "I don't see a gentleman anywhere." He chuckled, stepping closer and tucking his thumbs into his tight jean pockets. He looked like every woman's dream--dark jeans that hugged him sinfully, golden-tanned skin contrasted by his white-fitted shirt, a black, wide-brimmed cowboy hat, and a smile that could send any woman on her knees. Not to mention a voice that coated your skin like silk sheets. I hated how much I noticed."You're right, but I would like the honor anyway... ma'am." *********************Meet Grace--living the city life, reserved, eager to please, loyal to a fault.
