《A Strange Place | Marko/OC》Chapter 3
Advertisement
Harlow's fingers delicately brushed against the shelves, searching for a decent movie to for she and Victory's movie night. After the incident at the bar, Harlow absolutely refused to go out for the night, instead opting to stay inside with horror movies and some JiffyPop.
The blond's gaze drifted over the many different choices, she was about to give up hope when her eyes met with a classic.
Perfect.
Grabbing the movie with excitement, she quickly made her way to the counter for check out. A tall man with round glasses gave her warm smile and gently took the VHS from her grasp.
"Did you find everything alright today, Miss?", the man question as he began to ring her up.
"Yes, I did! I'm just really surprised to see that you guys have Children of The Corn! It only came out a couple of months ago, I figured it be impossible to find a copy!", the girl rambled giddily.
The tall man smiled warmly at the girl, "Yes, well, we don't find it too difficult to get the latest films for our store. I'm very glad you found what you wanted!"
Harlow gave the man a large grin, pulling out her wallet from the small bag she carried on her hip and handing the man her due amount. The man handed Harlow a small plastic bag to carry the movie in and bid her farewell.
"See you next time, have a lovely day!", he gave the girl a small wave and turned to help the next customer.
Harlow sent a small smile to him and grabbed her bag, making her way out of Max's Video Store. As she made her way onto the crowded boardwalk, she couldn't help but as though someone were watching her. Shivering slightly, Harlow pushed her thoughts to the back of her mind and made her way to Stevie, who sat parked at the end of the boardwalk.

"Vic, I'm home!", Harlow called into the apartment, kicking off her shoes by the door and hanging her keys on the hook.
Victory quickly ran up to Harlow, snatched the bag with the movie, and ran to the tv. "You're on JiffyPop detail tonight, Harls!", she called.
Harlow's face contorted into an annoyed grimace, "Of course I am."

Victory and Harlow sat comfortably on the couch, blankets covering the two of them and the bowl of popcorn in Harlow's grasp.
"Why can't I hold the popcorn?", Victory whined, pouting dramatically at Harlow.
"Because you always end up eating all of it! I literally only get maybe two handfuls when you hold the bowl, you fucking animal.", Harlow squabbled, keeping her focus on the tv.
Victory huffed indignantly, crossing her arms and glaring at the tv.
Harlow tried her best to focus on the movie playing in front of her, but she couldn't help but let her mind wander. I've felt eyes on me since I got here. Not to mention the eyes I saw the other night won't get out of my damn head.
The girl's thoughts continued to swirl around her clouded mind, her eyebrows furrowing as she ate another handful of popcorn.
Victory's gaze drifted over to the girl, her eyes creasing in worry when she saw Harlow's blank stare.
"Hey, Harley, you okay?", she asked the girl, her tone laced with concern.
When Harlow didn't answer Victory nudged her slightly, "Harlow, honey, is everything okay?".
Harlow shook herself from her thoughts, turning her attention to Vicory's worried expression.
"Actually, um, can we talk?", although it was a question, Harlow said it with a slightly more commanding tone.
Victory nodded, turning her body to face her best friend. "Of course girl, what's goin on?", Victory's voice was soft, a much more gentle tone than how she usually spoke.

"Since we got here, I've felt like I'm constantly being watched. And the other night when we went to the bar, I saw these eyes and.....", Harlow continued to recount her experiences and worries to Victory who sat quietly and listened to the girl ramble.
Little did Harlow know, the person with the startling blue eyes that she had seen, was talking to the tall man with the glasses she had met earlier. And they were talking about her.

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)
