《My best friends brother》Chapter 25

I got the cast off of my wrist. I was showing more now. I've barely talked to Jaxon. He was suppose to bring me home from work tonight so we could talk. My mom was driving me back to school. I got out and grabbed my bag. I walked into the school. First day without a hoodie and everyone was able to see my bump. I didn't care that much if they did anymore. I walked in and went to the cafeteria. I got in line and got some food. Everyone was looking at me. I shook my head and went to sit down with Bree. She was stuffing her face. I laughed.
"Shut up I'm starving. I woke up late and didn't have time to eat breakfast" she said. I nodded. I sat down and started eating.
"Nice wrist" she commented. I laughed again.
"It's a nice wrist isn't it?" I joked. She laughed.
"How's it been going?" I asked.
"Good. I got some money saved up. I got the baby a few things. Which are in my car. You can grab them when I take you to work after school" she said. I nodded.
"How are you?" She asked.
"I'm okay. I haven't really talked to Jax. Other than asking him for a ride home tonight. He's angry with me that I didn't tell him about the incident a few weeks ago" I answered.
"Yeah he was angry with me when I told him too. He mostly works and comes home grumpy. He will get over it. Just give him a little time" she said shrugging. I nodded.
"Should I feel bad about it though?" I replied.
"No. Not at all" she responded.
After school I went to Bree's car and she gave me a bag. I opened it. My mouth opened. It was a little security blanket. Along with a blanket. I took them out and saw some binkies and bottles. Along with some socks. I looked at Bree and pulled her into a hug.

"You didn't have to do that" I said.
"Yes I did. It's my baby niece or nephew in there. I'm telling you this now. This baby will be spoiled by auntie b" she replied. I laughed.
"You're the best" I responded giving her another hug. She hugged me back and I got into her car putting the bag on my lap.
Before she took me to work we went through the Burger King drive thru. We got to the bookstore and sat in the car. We ate our food and relaxed a little bit.
"Thanks for the food" I said. She nodded with her mouth full of food. I laughed at her. I grabbed my bags and went into the store.
I walked out of the store and didn't see Jaxon's car anywhere. I leaned against the building. I grabbed my phone and saw his text that he was running a little late. I put my phone away and hugged myself. It was freezing out tonight. I put my bags down away from the snow. I rubbed my eyes. I was feeling hungry. Soon his car pulled up and I got inside. He had a bag and gave it to me. I opened it. I smiled. I took out a sandwich and ate it. I ate some fries.
"Bree said you were craving Burger King the last week" he said. I nodded.
"Can we talk about this?" He replied.
"About?" I asked.
"Whenever something happens with you or the baby can you please let me know? I don't want to be the last one to know from my sister" he answered.
"Fine I'll let you know whatever happens between me and the baby" I replied.
"Good" He said nodding his head. He was watching the road and going slow. It was snowing out now. He put his one hand on my thigh and glanced at me.

"Pull over" I said. I put the bags in the back behind me. He pulled over to the side of the road. I unbuckled the seat belt and climbed over onto his lap. He pushed his seat back more and down. I kissed him. He kissed me back and grabbed my thighs. I smiled.
We got back into our seats. I put my seat belt on and he started driving again. He grabbed my hand with a smile on his face.
"It's been months" he said. I smiled.
"Yeah I know" I replied. He brought our hands to his mouth. He kissed my hand. He looked at me and stopped smiling. He moved quickly but not quick enough. I screamed when I felt the impact.

Mother of Learning
Zorian is a teenage mage of humble birth and slightly above-average skill, attending his third year of education at Cyoria's magical academy. He is a driven and irritable young man, consumed by a desire to ensure his own future and free himself of the influence of his family, whom he resents for favoring his brothers over him. Consequently, he has no time for pointless distractions or paying attention to other people's problems. As it happens, time is something he is about to get plenty of. On the eve of the Cyoria's annual summer festival, he is killed and brought back to the beginning of the month, just before he was about to take a train to Cyoria. Suddenly trapped in a time loop with no clear end or exit, Zorian will have to look both within and without to unravel the mystery before him. And he does have to unravel it, for the time loop hadn't been made for his sake and dangers lurk everywhere... Repetition is the mother of learning, but Zorian will have to first make sure he survives to try again - in a world of magic, even a time traveler isn't safe from those who wish him ill. ********************************** If anyone is interested, I have a story-related worldbuilding site that can be found here. I don't update it as often as I should, but there is a fair amount of content there already. It also contains a page with all the fanart, fan translations, audio books and the like - you can reach it directly by clicking this link. I have a patreon account for those kind people that want to give me money. It also contains info for those who want to donate via paypal. The story was originally posted on fictionpress, back in 2011. When I reached chapter 91, I started uploading the story to RoyalRoad, one chapter per day. The story will continue to be updated on fictionpress as well as here, and can be reached by clicking on this link if somebody is interested, though at this point there is nothing there that isn't also on RoyalRoad. ********************************** The cover you see on the side has been made by a fellow RoyalRoad user Sydorow.

Thief of Time
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Book 1: The Legend of Tot Synopsis: Claud Primus, a self-declared master thief, has a simple goal. To live forever. It's a rather easy task, for miraculous objects called lifestones are able to extend one's lifespan. These lifestones are best found in the treasuries of nobles, lovely resorts that Claud pays a visit to every so often. Unfortunately, one of those nightly visits go awry, and Claud is forced to escape with just a single lifestone and a box in hand. Normally, that's when things die down. The guards yawn, the gates close, and the night continues. But this time, the night isn't that forgiving. A dozen schemes result in the murder of someone important, and with a convenient scapegoat — Claud — at hand, it doesn't take long for him to be framed as a heinous criminal, wanted for the indirect murder of someone high up...and it just gets worse from there. Book 2: The Moon Lords' Rise Synopsis: As ordered chaos sweeps across Licencia, Claud leaves for Julan Barony, intent on making some profits there. Accompanied by the erstwhile heiress of Julan, a fellow member of the Moon Lords, the two plot against the barony's wealth...as well as a promise to bring about its downfall. Meanwhile, back home, the Moon Lords have busied themselves with digesting their gains. Eyes, however, are beginning to turn to this proverbial fish in a small pond. The fishermen are coming. When they cast their hook, what will Dia and the others do? Book 3: Murders under the Moons Synopsis: In the sleepy town of Nachtville, where Claud and Lily are forced to stop at, a set of nasty murders occurs. Victims scream out in fright, before a spear falls from the sky to end their suffering. Cowed and cautious, the master thief and his partner slink in the shadows, their objective that of home... A new task, however, has fallen on Dia. With a trusty helper at her side, she has to set off towards Nachtville itself, to solve the mystery Claud had abandoned. Faced with an enemy whose sole skillset is geared towards killing, how will they succeed? And what dark secrets will they find? Book 4: In the Dark of the Moons Synopsis: The year has ended. The four months of the full moons will soon be followed by two months of the new moons. Duke Istrel's ascension is around the corner. Amidst this political upheaval, Count Nightfall, Licencia's strongest defender, has been called away. The Moon Lords' largest task yet — to protect Licencia in the absence of its ruler — has begun. And yet, trouble is unrelenting. A distinguished personage, one that Claud fears, has been found dead in the county, his brains dug out and his body disemboweled. The inquisitors of the White Church have been dispatched to investigate and apprehend the murderer...as well as the person behind this puppet. Tormented by a call to fight, Claud directs his eyes out of the city, looking for the puppetmaster. Skulking in the shadows, the master thief will soon confront his greatest foe yet. A foe just like him. Book 5: Moonlit Tides and Darkened Seas Synopsis: A new era has begun. For the privileged, the sands of time dribble away for every passing moment, counting down to the arrival of a entity of mythical proportions. The night now harbours shadows and fog, and operatives of the Moons and the Dark clash in shadow. Claud, as usual, is investigating a spate of nasty disappearances in the city, but little does he know what these disappearances truly mean. And yet, a tide is coming. When it finally breaks, what will he do? Book 6: Secrets in Shadow Synopsis: The person behind a strike that would enter the annals of history flees his home, bringing with him the person closest to his heart into a new land and into a new world. Having left Istrel for the first time in his life, the two of them attempt to settle down in foreign lands, only to be caught in the middle of hostilities between two mighty powers grappling for dominion. Yet, none of that has anything to do with him. Following his desires, Claud eventually makes his way to the fabled Celestia Ruins, a fragment of another world. Bearing witness to truths he cannot yet comprehend, he returns from his exploration, a small break away from the machinations of destiny. One thing, however, is for certain. Destiny will not wait for him. Book 7: Reddest Rage Synopsis: Destiny churns on, heedless of mortal machinations, and Claud watches as the battlegrounds between the Moons and the Dark are drawn up. With the forces of the great Dark occupying Lostfon, Claud comes to a startling realisation — that he may have very well be a murderer of heinous proportions. Grappling with that realisation, he struggles to prepare for his Second Tutorial... Back in Istrel, Dia finds herself confronted with a perennial truth. Even in a time of writhing destiny, the machinations between nobles never cease to end — and unfortunately for her, the group once known as the Moon Lords are forced into dealing with a petty squabble between two counts. What they didn't account for, however, was the startling discovery they would soon make... And the shadow of the Red God's Holy Son behind it all. Book 8: Darkness Descends Synopsis: Nightmares haunt the horizon as Claud sinks and awakens from a seeming dream. What was once illusory begins to play out before him, in a way he cannot imagine. Dia, forced to wield arms, begins and ends a battle that opens her eyes to the vast dangers that lurk in this sundered world. Under the banner of humanity and divinity, she beholds the silent, forgotten protectors of Orb...but there is no forgetting the battle between the divinities. The Dark descends, the Moons writhe, and the horns of war blow once more. But this is not their battle. Not yet. Book 9: Moons Muster Synopsis: As more and more events fall into place, Claud finds himself desperate. Not for himself, but for the person who has turned into his world. Armed with the knowledge of a certain future, he approaches the only person that could possibly help him in his time of need, trading information for a promise of help. With that as solace, he returns to the grim task of understanding and seeking, revisiting an ancient, shattered fragment of another world...unleashing changes that he never knew was possible. Back in Istrel, Dia and the others must now navigate around a familiar spirit, who seeks to investigate the death of his master's Bearer. With them as prime suspects, the Seekers of Life must move carefully...but the Coloured Gods are not the only divinities eyeing them closely. The Moons, bristling from repeated defeats, are looking for new recruits, and the Seekers of Life are prime cannon fodder. Above all, destiny marches on, the unfeeling clock a warning to all. The Trial of Aeons will soon arrive. Book 10: Destiny Divine Synopsis: ??? Release frequency: one every few days or something, I guess. (This work is also being serialised on Webnovel under the name Revile as a trial run)
