Esme pov
I felt like I was hit with a bus when I woke up, squinting my eyes to get rid of the black spots in my vision, I finally felt how tense my body was.
"Yes", startled I looked up to see 2 tall figures over me, looking closing I recognized one of the faces as Matteo,
"What the hell happened" I said while rubbing my head, "Can I have a Panadol or something man" I sighed frustratedly,
The unknown figure scrambled away and got some water and panadols,
"Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me like I'm on display" finishing my water,
"I-how did you even get here" Matteo finally opens his mouth,
"umm, next question" I said while looking around,
"No answer the question Esme"
"umm unknown figure did you hear something.... i think you've drugged me" I said staring at the stranger...
"I know you...but I don't know from where", i pointed at him suspiciously
"The names Enzo, I'm the ghost's best friend" the stranger said,
"You are friends with a ghost that's kinda sad, don't you think" , I said trying to prolong the conversation so I wouldn't have to answer Matteo's question.
"Ya tell me about it" Enzo said playing around.
"I can hear Yall you know" Matteo said irritatively,
"No shit" I said while roiling my eyes,
"And to answer your question I followed you...now you answer my questions. What is this? Where is this? And lastly, who the fuck are you?"
"This is a house, we are at a warehouse......" , he said not wanting to answer the last question, but when I scowled at him he continued,"...and I'm the leader of the Italian mafia" , he said while scratching the back of his head.
"whipped", Enzo whisper well tried to, I ignored him and took time to take in the information and thought of an answer,

"Okay" I said while laying back in chair,
"Okay???!!" Matteo shouted seeming stunned that I didn't really react,
"I had a hunch", I shrugged
"Since when" Enzo said snapping out of his stunted state,
"ummm in Italy...it was quit obvious, the house, the clothes, the guards and oh yh the gun"
"Gun where the fuck did you see a gun" Matteo asked curiously,
"Your closet when I was look for clothes to wear, btw I still have your clothes they are very comfortable" I said cheekily
"umm okay, so does umm this change how you see me or umm yeah" Matteo said nervously while stumbling on his words.
Aww cute..
"No.... but can you teach me how to use a gun... ouu can I get a dagger" I said excitedly while jumping up from the couch.
"I can teach you" Enzo butted in,
"Yesses new bestie",
"Wait why does he get bestie, but I get friend" Matteo spat, looking disgusted by the word friend
Ignoring Matteo, I started to look around the living area that we were in,
"Wait so do you live here, I thought you lived in Italy", I said curiously
"Si I do but I also have houses here and business here so I'm always back and forth, right now I'm here for mafia business"
"Oh, wait is Shane in the mafia with you" trying not to laugh at the thought of the Shane in the mafia,
"God no I would never hire that fool for that work", he answered,
"Okay, well I have work in the morning tomorrow"
"Ill drive you back" Matteo said getting his keys.
"No no its okay, bye Enzo, bye teo "I said walking to the door quickly before he can ask me anything else or try to convince me to let him take me home
"Esme" Matteo shouted making me stop in my tracks
"What happened to my security guard" he said looking amused,
"What guard" and dashed out of there.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.
