《MIDDLE GROUND》17
Advertisement
I need fresh air. I need to get out of here. I need to be outside with the sun and trees and less sexual tension.
I took out some running gear and put it on before I heard the shower turn off.
"Want to go for a jog?" Fiona had just stepped out of the shower as I was tying my shoes.
"Not really. What happened?"
"I don't know. I'm undesirable as per usual."
"No. Nope. No more pity parties or mumbling under your breath bullying yourself. I won't allow it. I ban it." She looked so pretty even just coming out of the shower. Glowing really, but I guess that's what really good sex and love can do.
"Well you've taken away 90% of my talking points." My arms flew up in the air and then hit my outer thighs with a thwack sound. "Why the frick am I more emotional?"
"Faeries." They said in tandem.
"So I'm turned on by food and..."
"My brothers."
"No. Not really. Only a little bit. Why am I turned on by demons?! Shit. Fuck. Sorry. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to direct my frustration at you Fi."
I put my head in my hands and sobbed. Fiona and Liam were dressed sitting on either side of me within mere moments. I felt like my head was spinning.
Fiona rubbed my back while Liam kept offering me tea to calm me down. Both saying nice things in soothing voices, like cooing a baby, because that's what I am acting like, a big baby.
"We can't go outside right now and I know Rian is in meetings all day so wondering around should be safer for you today." Fi tried to cheer me up. "And we'll tell you all we know about the Fae folk. Yeah?" Her head nodded which made my head nod yes.
I was happy to be outside her room for just a little bit.
Along the tour of the underground living quarters there were so many vampires in the clan. When they found their mate because wolves and blood-sucking demons get to have true love but not hard working humans, they would get a much larger room. Many of the smaller guest rooms weren't occupied, but Fiona said that's because their clan was so much older, which made sense: the longer you live, the more likely you are to meet your mate.

I did get to see one of the mated rooms. It wasn't as large as Fiona and Liam's room, but Fi was royalty.
"They get to decorate however they like with 2 extra rooms and a private bathroom. Most use 1 of the rooms for clothing and the other for whatever they like. Apparently this couple is into gaming." She sounded disgusted.
I loved Mario growing up. The 65" flat screen smart TV had more than 2 gaming chairs around it but only 2 were being used it looked like. Multiple consoles from the PS5 to the original Nintendo. most of the games looked like ones I'd never played - lots of first shooter games. Not my style and obviously not Fiona's either. She quickly got out of their and showed me Rian's quarters. It was gigantic and so old looking but I decided I'd rather not chance running into him while he might be in between meetings.
"Here are the human quarters." The most bleak of all. One contained actual dog crates as beds. The blood bags got a little bit more freedom and nicer beds because they had to lay down so often. The IV drips apparently helped them too. It looked like a hospital. Last, but not least, the servants. I opened up the door to find a familiar smell: popcorn. Some of the servants had kids and those children were watched over by 1 servant that looked like she was about to pull her hair out as Finding Nemo came on and the dozen or so kids under 12 were eating popcorn and candy. It looked so normal. Even down to the frazzled teacher.
"So when a family is formed they get a private bedroom" Fiona pointed to the sectioned off areas that reminded me of cubicles, not bedrooms with privacy. "Unmatched sleep in this den space on roll away cots. And they have their own kitchen, but they can honestly use the main one anytime."
"Ok..." No way am I living here.
"And here is the communal bathroom." It was a locker room with all the amenities. "We make sure to take good care of our humans since they take such good care of us."

I could tell she was trying to sell me on this but those cages looked like a torture chamber.
"The only unoccupied human area right now was the first room. They keep their stuff there but as sex slaves they have the perk of sleeping with their master and using the private bathrooms. Many of them decide to live with their masters instead of down here."
I wonder why...
"Don't worry, we have special guest areas and that's where you'll most likely be staying. The last oracle lived there for over 100 years! She was your great-great grandmother, Maggie."
We stepped out into the hallway again and went down a dark corridor that looked familiar.
"You've already seen Oisin's room and right across from him is where the oracle stays, unless Rian makes them a slave, which he's only done to 2 of the oracles, right dear? I feel like I'm forgetting something."
"That sounds about right. Odds are in your favor little fae as long as you can tap into some of that seer magic."
"Not helpful, Liam."
I went to turn the doorknob but it was locked. "It's protected by magic. Only a true Seer can get inside."
"Painting a really awesome picture of my life, Fi. Thank you."
"Sarcastic cunt. Just sleep with Oisin and he can finally take over his wing instead of sulking around here."
He has his own wing?! Where? How big is this place? I had so many questions but my mind went blank when I heard him.
"Don't count on it lil' sister." Oisin popped his head out of the room behind us, his room, with just a towel.
Put on a shirt!
"Oisin, didn't see...or smell...you there." Fiona managed to say. I felt a twinge of comfort knowing that Fi had thought about him being there or not with me around.
"Well, that's probably because I was rinsing off..."
"Another cold shower?" I was thinking it but only Fiona had the balls to say it.
"No." Oisin's jaw clenched. His eyes were darkening. Oh he is angry. And he is hot when he's angry. I crossed my legs and clenched for some relief.
I wonder if the limbic part of the brain which is where the fight or flight response lives, is larger in demons. They have heightened sense of smell like animals do.
"I already told her that I wasn't interested after she threw herself at me, what, like 3 times now?" He smirked at me.
Yep he can smell me.
Thanks for the reminder of how desperate, pathetic, and undesirable I am. I looked down at my feet pretending something was interesting on my shoe.
"You are in denial. Serious denial. You've taken responsibility for her! We shouldn't even be hosting her and her family, YOU should be doing all of that." Fiona got right in his face.
My family? Here? No. What? My dead mother will be here, alive? Meeting my biological father? I can't do this. I'm not ready for this. I'm not even fucking competent in being a slave on my duties here! Shit, my mother didn't love me. How could she? She made a deal to avoid her fate and didn't tell me about mine. Oisin must have listened to my thoughts, he put his arms around me and I felt his chin on my head.
"You don't need to see them. Your mum and da are just going to do some business. You don't have to see them if you don't want to. I promise." I couldn't tell if he said that out-loud or in my head but my bad mood was gone as soon as his arms wrapped around me.
As quick as he was to hold me, he was twice as fast to let me go and jump to hide back in his room.
Damn demon and his mixed signals.

8 195Rebirth
Rebirth, the process of being reborn. Why does it happen and who really qualifies. We will seek to look into the these questions by following the life of Richard as we experiences this process first hand. We will follow his life and his fight against the evil blue boxes and what comes with all of them. ------------------------------- Update 04-24-18 Just ran a spelling and grammar check on the existing chapters and corrected a lot of little issues. ------------------------------- Just so you know, do not expect detailed sex scenes, or a lot of gore and such. Profanity is probably a given, I added the tag today....I mean you've seen how the Blue Box God talks....I'm shocked our MC has keep his cool so far. Also just FYI, I've got the entire per chapter outline complete for what will end up being book 1. That being said I've discovered over the years that a good outline lasts until you begin to wrote the chapter out. What that means is that even with a good outline because I tend to rethink thing out 4 or 5 times while I write them that it can hold up a chapter from being released. I'd rather hold up a story to make it flow better than rush something out. So while you might see at times a very aggressive release rate, at times you might wonder what happened to me because I've stopped posting. The reason being that after I wrote the chapter I decided it either sucked, didn't flow right or I just decided the direction things were headed no longer seemed right. So I'll stop, review and decide if I need to rewite all of the outlines to changes things up and then rewrite the chapter, or possibly go back and make changes to older chapters if needed. By the way, if I ever decide something needs to change, I will let you know which chapters changed and I'll give you a quick outline of the changes so you can skip the reread if you want. Yes a lot of this story will be told from the third person prespective, though we will listen to Richard tell his story. Expect a lof of behind the scene components. I've never published here before so expect it to take me a try or 2 to get an understanding of the formatting and such. Also I do not post a schedule. Sorry but real life always comes first but I will try and get things steddy.
8 264New hope online
*as of right now this is my second time writing all this I really hate doing this twice in a row. well this story was made by me and a few friends ideas and stuff most of the pictures owned are not mine but some will be and every picture I use is respectively owned by their creators. Now let's go to the story. FYI this is my second time doing this so I'm a little pissed so I probably will not have good grammar and stuff so whenever you guys see something wrong why don't you come help me to make this story great peace out and have fun* The year is 2009 there's a war going between robots and human Arnold [email protected]&**&6 . ah crap that was totally my fault wrong story ok here we go the real story. The years 2086 and life is hella awesome. in about the year 2065 a new fun toy came out they called this VR. but VR isn't just a toy anymore. Vr changed the life of everyone in America but really all over the world . the thing that made VR awesome was that you can know go to work from your house laying in the bed with a VR helmet on making twice as much money for the hours you put in. you can know go to school from your house learn for a full 6 hours in VR but than when you get out its only been one hour in real life . there are so many uses that people can use VR for. of course military personal use it aswell to train there minds and stuff. But to me this really doesn't mean much. The real beauty in VR is the gaming i love gaming with a passion me and my family are gonna get this awesome game called new hope online. This game is a mmo RPG it of course has the typical RPG quest adventures and a lot of other things that i cant explain. but generally I'm super excited for only 2 things in this game. The first is that there is a cohesive and reactive world. Ok ill just give you a small example. so lts say im an adventurer and im killing goblins i go every single day for the next 3 year with 4 of my freinds to kill goblins after a while if you hunt destroy or do anything to envirment fror prlonged periods of time the enviroment will etheir act violently and try to destroy you or the worldwill remove that resource from that area. which i think makes total since. ok last but not least you know how nearly every single mmo lets you play as the adventurer only. Well thats changed. In this mmo you are allowed to be a monster if you want thats freaking awesome i love it. The object of a monster is to become strong enough to etheir, make a dungeoun, own a clan/ tribe. generally there are apperently alot of ways to win as a monster but since this is a mmo of course theres no real winning. But as a monster everybody is aiming for the top. another objective is to kill the demon king and take hismantle as hahaha demon king. oh i totally forgot to introduce my self my name is roin . like coin but with a r instead of an c . this is gonna be my story so peace out and read the story . * the star before a sentence means me as an author is talking ok this is explaining meanings RPG=Role Playing Games MMO=Massively Multiplayer Online Vr = virtual reality
8 92Glimpse of Eternity
"There is no Good and Evil. Only Power." Because of an incident when he was ten years old, Kagami Ken had to suffer through excruciating pain due to a one-of-a-kind illness. After a particularly bad fit when he was twenty-three, Kagami Ken fell into a coma for six months! Upon awakening, Ken's intuition told him that his days were numbered, so he sets about doing things that he'd always wanted to do, but never could. Due to a sudden desire to do some good, Ken pours an extraordinary amount of money into a donation to a Charity organization he stumbles upon. He never knew that because of this, He would get the attention of a certain God! After this and that, he now finds himself reincarnated as Reivan Aizenwald, the Half-human, Half-Warbeast baby! On his second lease at life, how will he choose to live? What goals will he aspire to achieve? What Chaos will he bring to this new world!? Find out by reading the story, cuz I honestly don't know! [This story is quite a slow burner, especially since 200+ pages are dedicated to his life before getting reincarnated.] [Chapter Length: 2500-3500 words (It can only be more, never less. Except for bonus/extra or interlude Chapters)] [Chapter Release: Once Every Sunday. Depending on certain factors, like story-pacing, I may post more.] [The Warning tags are just there to give me freedom when writing. I don't plan to be overly descriptive of schmex scenes and gore. Don't worry.] Hello! I'm Lire, and this is my first fiction! I know its going to be rough around the edges. But I'm trying my best to improve day by day. I hope you're patient with me if you do give this fiction a try! Correction suggestions are appreciated. Same with grammar corrections. English isn't my first language, so it would help me improve. I'll try my best to make as few mistakes as possible though! Constructive Criticism is very welcome. Anything to make my first brain-child, the best it can possibly be!! If all you do is diss it, without providing anything constructive, I'm ready to pour whatever creative juices I have on making up insults for you, your mother, and all your Ancestors! ...as long as I don't feel particularly lazy at the time. Also, if your diss makes me laugh while also being true, you get a pass too. I'll even give you rep. By the way, this work will be heavily influenced by (English TLed) Japanese Light Novels and Korean Web Novels. I mainly read that kinda stuff after all. With minor influence from Wuxia and Xianxia. Really, just a little though. Oh, and Harry Potter which I read repeatedly when I was a child. If you hate those types of novels, then please piss off immediately. I don't want to waste your time. Now, If you do like them, then please give my novel a shot! *bows*
