《His Possession》THIRTY-THREE
Advertisement
I made my way in Landon's BMW, while 'Boss' and half of his men walked towards the black suburbans.
I drove down the roads and made it on the highway with them following close behind. I took a faster route and continued down the street till I made a turn and pulled up to Jaxons house.
The cars park in front of his house, and all the men came pilling out. I made my way up the steps and open the door.
They were still typing away, but once they heard the door open their heads snapped my direction. Jaxons eyebrows pulled together and he stood up right away and walked my way.
"W-What- where did you go?" He pulled me into his chest and hugged me.
"This is how it looks like? Wow. Fûckin trash." I heard Daemons voice come in.
I sighed in his chest and push off till I was a foot away from him.
I look at Jaxon and see him glaring at Daemon and then looking at all the men walking into his house.
I look at Landon and see him standing up with a glare.
"Thanks for letting me borrow your car." I said while I tossed his keys at him, which he caught with one hand. And I gave him a sheepish smile.
"I never let you borrow my car anyway." He said while he glared at me.
"Why are you here?" Jaxons voice said towards 'Boss'.
I felt him come from behind the pack of men and make his way towards my right. His clammy hand clamped on my shoulder and I close my eyes and sigh.
Disgusting.
I open my eyes and stared directly at Jaxon.
"She came to me. Coming in saying you need my help."
I held my breath when Jaxons glaze went to mine. His eyes held anger but his face stayed completely calm.

"Wonderful. So. What are you doing? Are you helping or standing there?" Landon said while he came right next to Jaxon.
"Daemon." 'Boss' said. Daemon came from my left and gave Jaxon a paper with her location.
His eyes shot up and looked at me then to 'boss' then back to me.
My heart ache at the sight. Happiness came perfectly in his eyes. I gave him sly smile and he came up to me and hugged me tight with his head in the crook of my neck.
I smile against his chest and held him tight.
He pulled back but kept his hand on my hips and shifted me till I was in front of him and my back against his chest.
He gave Landon the paper and his head shot up with the same expression as Jaxon. His smile brought my heart to beat faster. I smiled back and leaned in Jaxons touch.
"So. What's the plan?" I turn my head towards the voice and see 'boss' walking towards Anthony and Tanner. The rest of the men made their way in the house and towards the living room and some at the kitchen table with Tanner and Anthony.
"Go in and take her back-" Jaxon said but kept quiet when boss snapped his head towards him with a glare.
"Sit."
Jaxon unwrapped his arms around me and made him way towards the table and sat down while boss leaned against the table.
"Do you know who else is going to be there?"
"Louis and some of his men."
"You're wrong." Jaxon gave him a confused face, and I quickly made my way towards behind his chair and placed my hands on his shoulder because I already know what he's going to say.
"Sit Landon."
Landon took a chair and placed it next to Jaxon, and looked just as confused as Jaxon.

"Who else is going to be there?" Jaxon said.
Boss crossed his arms and sighed. He looked between Jaxon and Landon then his glaze went back to Jaxon.
"Word on the street saying that Alberto and Alfonso came into town."
I felt his muscles tense right after his words. I heard him take in a sharp breath and I see his vein pop out on his neck and his finger tightening around the chair arms.
I rubbed his shoulders to try to calm him down but he pushed them off and walked up stairs. I looked over to Landon and see him with a blank face and looking lost in space.
I looked at boss and see him already making his way around the table and sitting at the head and pulling one of the laptops in front of him.
I gulp and look back at the stairs and look back at Landon.
He's looking at the floor with hands clenching the chair.
I walked over to Landon and grab one of his hands and rub the back of it.
His head snaps up and stares at me.
He pulled his hand back and shook his head.
"I don't need the attention. He does." He said pointing at the stairs.
I looked over my shoulder and gulp. I nodded my head and slowly made my way up the stairs. I looked at the walls and pulled my eyebrows together, if his father hurt his own son and wife, then why hang up these photos of a broken family.
I made my way down the hall and took in a deep breath. I slowly turned the knob and walked in.
I let my breath out and slowly closed the door. I turned around and my heart clenched.
Jaxon was on the ground in front of his bed and looking at me with tears streaming down his cheeks.
"J-Jaxon." I whispered.
"I-I failed her." He whispered in between his hiccups.
I made my way in front of him and sat down on my calves.
I leaned forward and wiping the tears that fell on his cheek.
He gripped my wrist and pulled me in his chest and wrapped his arms around me.
"I failed her." He sobbed in my hair while shaking with his sobs.
My eyes teared and I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer.
"He found us, and now he has her." He sobbed.
"No Jaxon. We found her. Now it's just time to go get her." I said softly trying really hard to not have my voice crack.
He continued to sob in my hair and his arms tighten around me.
I pulled him closer and I stayed quiet till his breathing started to slow down. I pulled away and unwrapped his arms and sat next to him. I grabbed his shoulders and turned his back towards me and pulled him down till his head was laying on my thighs.
He closed his eyes and I ran my hand through his hair. His breathing would always cut off with his hiccups and he would sniffle.
My thumb wiped the tears that would fall again, and I would trace everything on his face.
That calmed him down, so I bent down and kissed his forehead and continued to run my hands through his hair.
"Thank you." I barely heard him. I looked down and still see his eyes closed and I just continued to run my hands through his hair.
"For what?" I whispered.
"For calling them." He opened his eye, which are puffy and blood shot.
"Welcome."

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

Avaria: A Pay To Win Adventure
Avaria is a game like world where the wealthy are the strong. Want more strength, a specific skill or spell, well there's an item for that. If you can get it of course. These items are rare and far from plentiful, hoarded by the wealthy that can afford them. Acquired from Avaria itself, these items are dropped from strong monsters and dungeons, so if someone doesn't have the money, they must get it the hard and dangerous way. Don’t worry though, even the poor are born with at least one skill or spell that could help them in life, apart from the basic mana skills that everyone is born with. Usually these skills and spells are passed down from a parent. Of course, that doesn't mean they can use it. Any skills from birth are locked and unusable to start. Unlockable through great effort and practise, something many are unable to do without some guidance. There is another much quicker way however, through gaining experience from killing monsters and using that experience to unlock it. Adam is a human summoned to this world from earth. What effect can he have on this world when he is given a skill that he knows can be used to help many people, with the desire to do just that. Unfortunately it won't be so easy, as there are many obstacles in his way. It’s a cruel world, but he will have help and doesn’t have to do it alone as he meets new companions and makes friends along the way. Lianna is another human from earth who is summoned the same time as Adam. Though things go much differently for her as she is quickly enslaved, beaten and tortured. Unable to understand what her enslavers are telling her, she has a difficult time following through with the commands given to her. Forced to fight creatures and level up against her will. Authors Note: Aiming to post 1 chapter/week, while writing at least 1 chapter/week.
