Andy Pov
****
I grab Sam's hand. I see him twitch but he doesn't move. I can tell the drugs haven't worn off yet so I just sit in silence holding his hand with mine. I feel my eyes getting heavy and I sit back in the chair and relax. I feel myself drifting to sleep.

Sams Pov
I wake up with a little headache. I am in an unfamiliar room. I look to my right ad see Andy sitting in a wheelchair sleeping. She has a death grip on my hand and it's throbbing. "McNally, Andy, Andy McNally," I say her name repeatedly but she just stirs. I give it one more try because I can see her drifting into reality. "McNally" I whisper yell. She is jolted awake and she looks at me and smiles.

Andy's pov
I am jolted awake by Sam yelling my name. I look at him and smile. "Hi," I say in a low and emotional voice
"How are you"
"I'm great, welcome back to reality"
"How are you feeling McNally? Are you okay? I was worried but they wouldn't let me see you after my surgery."
"I'm better now that I'm with you." I can feel a smile spread across my face. Sam grabs my hands. I tell him everything that happened and all the updates. After sitting together for a while people start creeping in. In about 10 minutes everyone who means the world to us is here. We are all sitting around on beds and chairs. Gail makes fun of Chloe and everyone laughs. It feels like forever all of us sitting together.

Traci gets up and Jerry picks sleeping Leo up. Traci hugs me from behind and squeezes. "don't have too much fun without me here."

"Come on Trac. Don't leave now."
"Listen here lady" she whispers in my ear. "Some of us have to work tomorrow."
She slips out around sleeping Oliver. Dov wheels Chloe away, and Chris helps Oliver out. Gail unlocks the chair and wheels me over to the bed. She helps me in and then makes the curtains open so Sam and I can see each other.
*****
3 am
I wake up sweaty and hot. I try to sit up but it hurts. I call for Sam. "Sam Sam Sam" after a few times he sits up. "Andy what's wrong."
"I had a nightmare. I don't know what it was about but I'm terrified." I take a deep breath and look over at Sam. He throws the blankets off him and groans. He slowly sits up and grovels over to my bed. I look at him and smile. "Are you going to make room for me or not?" I laugh and move over enough for both of us to fit. I snuggle my chest into his. Within minutes Sam is snoring. I nuzzle into him a little more and drift asleep.

7 am
The nurse comes in with breakfast. She comes close to the bed and calls my name. I open my eyes and see Sam drooling next to me. I laugh and the nurse helps me sit up. "Officers I can move the beds closer together so you have more space."
"That would be great," Sam says in his morning husky voice. "If you can believe it, she's a bed hog." The nurse laughs. She takes 2 platters of food and sets them on a tray. Eggs and bacon, if you guys have any other problems or need just ring. "Before you leave Nurse." "Yes Officer Swarek"

"Oh yeah, there's something wrong with this bacon, I think you need to call a Hambulance." I burst out laughing. "Sam that joke wasn't funny when I was a Rookie, and nothing changed." The nurse slips out while Sam continues to make little jokes.
"Laughter! Everything is well" Oliver is standing in the doorpost. "Sammy I need to ask a favor."
"Hit me"
"Okay Sammy so" Oliver moves closer right next to the bed. "Chloe ate all my bacon, and Celery said I couldn't have hers. So I want your's brother."
Sam grabs his breakfast tray and holds it close.
"You can have mine, Oliver." I laugh and hand the napkin wrapped bacon. Oliver grabs it and bows to me. He shuffles back to his room in his open back gown and sticky socks. I look back at Sam. He is taking a bit of bacon. I Turn to him and rip the bacon out of his mouth. I turn and shove it in my mouth before he can get it. We fight and makeup. By then he's being dragged away for pt and I am going too.
*****
7pm
Sam and I got out of PT around lunchtime and we've been playing board games since. We finished our dinner and Sam is rambling about the mashed potatoes. Oliver walks in. "Am I interrupting brotha?"
"Oliver my man, come in."
"Sammy. Andy, I come to say goodbye. A broken rib, stitches and a minor concussion is only a 1-day trip. I am being released to the wild. I do bear gifts though." From behind his back, Oliver pulls out a police scanner, chocolate and a framed picture of him. "For you my dear Andy because you gave me your bacon, you receive and a picture of me, you also get chocolate. The scanner is also for you my dear, so you and the bacon stealer, Samantha can forget about hospital things and get it on the action. Sammy the only thing your getting is a kiss from your brother from anotha motha." Oliver plants his lips right onto Sam's forehead. He twirls away and waves.

He can steal the silver teeth from your mouth in the blink of a smile.

He pits the factions of the city against each other, lining his own pockets in the process and using the Prince as a scapegoat. This is made easy as nobody knows when or where the Prince will strike, or even why.As plots collide, Jawad finds himself pressured from all sides. Aristocrats, cutthroats, and the Prince himself is breathing down his neck.

The Prince of Cats is set in the same world as my other fiction, The Eagle's Flight, but the two stories are not connected. The full story has been uploaded. Information and a map of the city can be found here. There is also an interactive storybook app inspired by The Prince of Cats. The full story can be played for free.

8 158Youko Advent
Before entering into his life as a half-breed, Rune Lifen had a past existance in another world, a wretched world he was glad to leave behind. He never thought he'd done anything worthwhile in his past life, but is proven wrong when gifted with the chance to be reborn in a world of swords and magic. While Rune discovers that being the only half- fox in a community of Kitsune aristocrats is not without its own troubles, and he'll never be considered anything besides a worthless mutt, he decides that perhaps through training and growth, he might redeem himself of his meager former life.
8 203Slave 53: The Phoenix
Azgarth is a violent Warlord from a planet where everyone feared him, a man that never lost a battle whether it be from his enemies surrendering or dying. After entering a wormhole, this once infamous man had his memory completely wiped. He was enslaved under the name 53. The great comet arrived one day and gave 53 an extremely rare animal aspect, the Phoenix. Having a rare animal aspect puts people on the fast track to power in this world. Will 53 show the same brutality as his former self? Author: So there will probably be a lot of changes when I start hashing out the whole classes and what not. I'm not planning on this to have statuses or anything like that, but when people 'lvl up' is probably going to be something like ascending 1, 2, 3, etc. With each ascension they are many times stronger, for example, someone who hasn't ascend at all would be at 0, but someone with a 1 would be about 5x stronger than someone who is 0 and so on. It would take a long time to reach each one. With the red colored marks which represents fire, I have a couple ideas with what I want to do, in a way a battle royale, as this continent they are on isn't very large, but all four elements are on it (or more, I might add light, dark, and some others) but all the humans have red, while a different alien race has blue (water), brown (earth), and grey (Air). The color of the mark they have influences how they feel about each other, a example of that would be if a red saw a brown, then they would naturally feel a disgust about each other, and if they killed someone from a different color they would gain way more life essence which is needed to ascend than they would killing someone from their same color. The last thing, I'm not too sure about the main character yet, as I like the whole idea of a memory wipe, I almost think it'd be more entertaining to have the guy slowly regain all his memory, then just becoming his normal self again. If that's the case I'll have to change the title of book. The original idea was this guy would keep the name 53, and his prior self named Azgarth is sharing his body, as in he can talk to him and give him advice on things since he doesn't want him to die since he is sorta like a split personality sharing the same body. Looking at it now, idk if I want this guy to be named 53 forever. Warning: A lot of dark content in the book, especially in the flashbacks.
