《The red one | Sam U'ley》Chapter thirteen
Advertisement
AN: I think this is my favorite chapter so far. I hope you guys like it :) xo
When I woke up I noticed I was in my own bed. How did I get here? Sam must have brought me home. I slowly sat up and made my way to the bathroom and took a hot shower.
While I was in the shower I looked down to see the cuts on my stomach. I slowly put my hand onto it and traced it.
All of a sudden the red mist started coming out of my hands again. I gasped and looked at my hands with wide eyes.
The more I moved my hand around the more the mist would come out. I then had a though.
Maybe I could try....controlling it?
I closed my eyes and focused; focused on one thing and one thing only. I slowly opened my eyes and let out a small gasp yet again.
There were 2 dark red mist balls in my hands. I slowly moved my hands around and watched it moved. I then, slowly brought my hand down to my stomach and closed my eyes.
I reopened my eyes and looked down with wide eyes yet again.
The cuts were gone; only 3 scars remained.
I trailed my finger over the scars.
What am I?
I finished my shower and walked back to my room and got dressed.
Her outfit:
I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. This too made my boobs look different. I have a bigger sized chest then most people and it makes me insecure when I like to show it off. People; friends. At my old school; when I was in school. They would tell me I looked beautiful and that I had nothing to be insecure about.

I was 'skinny' in a way. My stomach was flatter than most, but I had a bit of butt. I have stretch marks, but I don't mind them.
I shook my head and walked over to my desk and opened my computer. I remembered that Laurent had called me the 'red one'. Whatever that means. So, I started searching about it.
I dug and dug until I came across a page.
"The red one. They were once known as the Devils children. Not anymore of course, but once. They were rumored To be alive from the beginning of time. They were vicious creatures. They will use their dark magic to take the lives of people; didn't matter who or what they were. They were the most powerful being, but there has been no record of them since the 1700's."
"The red ones power is an ungodly thing. People say that satan himself had handcrafted the power; making it as evil and powerful as possible. They could do things that were inhuman. They could look at a people and within seconds the person would be on the ground, dead."
"Back in around the 1500's their was a traveler. He was traveling threw out Switzerland when he came across one. He had managed to befriend the vial creature. He learned what most Hadn't. It states in a book that he wrote that 'the creatures won't cause harm unless provoked. They have no reason to unless they feel unsafe,' he had managed to befriend the devils child so well that he learned something unheard of."
"The prophecy"
"Joan; the traveler. Said that their was a prophecy and that there was one of their kind unlike the rest. They had yet to be born though. They would have the power of all combined. They would be the worst and most deadly of all. Their power; darker than the rest. A dark red color; while the rest of the creatures have a light red magic." I shut my computer and looked down with wide eyes.

I moved away from everything and stood in the middle of my room. It couldn't be true. I slowly thought about the magic and had it appear in my hands. It was, indeed a very dark red color.
"Oh my god," I whispered in horror to myself. The devils children? Am I one of the devils children?
I looked at myself in my mirror and gasped. My eyes.
They're ere a dark red color rather then their bright green. I slowly walked up to the mirror and slowly touched my face. The red mist slowly came out of my hand and onto my skin. My eyes, glowed it's dark red even more while the red mist came from my fingertips. I lowered my hands and let the mist go away.
I looked back into the mirror to see the dark red color was now gone; not fully. Their was a faint red color swirling around in the green of my eyes.
I walked back over to my bed and sat down. I gasped again. What would Sam think of me. Oh my, he would think I'm a monster. He would hate me for what I am.
I would never forgive myself if Sam hated me.
My heart rate and breathing started picking up at the thought of him hating me. Why though?
Why was I so interested and intrigued by him. Why does my heart flutter every time he's near. Why do I get goosebumps every time he touches me. Why do I feel this way.
I think I....like him. I have never liked a man before. I have never had the power to do such a thing. I never had time.
That's it.
I like Sam U'ley.
I let a small smile linger at that thought. My thoughts went back to last night and the conversation we had.
He called me angel. Just thinking about it again makes my heart flutter and a blush come to my face. I looked over to my clock to see it was 10 am.
I slowly walked over to my window and sat down in-front of it; watching the trees sway with the wind.
I looked back down to my hands and let the mist or well now I should say magic come out. It was so beautiful. How could such a beautiful thing be so deadly.
I watched as I moved my fingers around and the magic dance around. I looked over to the corner of my room and saw a plant. I slowly thought about it floating and moved my hand.
Slowly, the plant moved into the air. I let out a small laugh as it moved around the room. I drew my hand in, causing the plant to come over to me. I slowly grabbed it from the air and sat it down in-font of me.
"This is so amazing," I whispered to myself. I slowly brought my hand up and moved the plant back to the other side of my room. I let out a breath.
This was a lot. Just as I was about to get up my door busted open and Bella walked in.
"I need to see Jake and your coming with me,"

Scorched - The Winter Winds (LitRPG)
Frank Ebner once wanted to save the world. Let the second one be better than the first. On Earth he was a student of... well it hardly matters anymore. It was dying, and he and the rest of his fellows and friends studying how to stave off the end graduated just in time to be told it was too late. That there was not enough time, funds, will, to stop it anymore. That the governments and the worthies of the world had moved from trying to stop it, to surviving the oncoming apocalypse, while blaming each other. That was a world Frank wanted nothing to do with. One riven by wars for places in the Archologies going up, and between them and the dying world they were leaving behind. So when a strange voice offered him a way out, to a world unmarred by the poison killing his? Frank took it. The voyage changed him, made him fit his new world, one of stats and magic. It came with perks, for in passing through their Heavens, they'd been exposed to Divinity, and taken some of the Celestial within them. Heroes now, but there are heroes, and there are Heroes. The nobility of the Empire care only for those who carry blessed bloodlines, and their time to adapt and train up for the new world is limited. Patrons are scarce among those like Frank, with only the base Hero perks, and magic studies expensive and lengthy. Often requiring heavy Oaths to gain the necessary aid to wield mana as a mage. Frank found another way. It nearly cost him his life. Now on the run and burned by the very magic he sought and craved, he is a pilgrim traveling to the The Eternal Tree, font of Perseverance. Frank hopes Ir-karlak will grant him some way to recover from the fires that scorched him. Without snuffing out the embers those fires lit within, for he has learned to harness them and he would not give up magic for the world. *** In the last 21 days, as I update this, I've managed about 18-19 updates. So Scorched should update most days, muse willing. She's fickle, sometimes. Not every day, but most. If there's an update for the day, it will be at 7PM, GMT+2. *[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Actually completed it. :) *

Shades of the Moon
I'm rewriting this story! I have taken down Arc 2 and Arc 3 already to avoid spoiling my new novel. The only reason I'm keeping the first 10 chapters is nostalgia; the writing is awkward and the story is not plotted out properly, but it's here if anyone wants to compare it to the new one. If you'd like to read a more professionally written version of this story, I highly suggest checking out my Synergy. Synopsis version too-many-to-count: “I see,” Kiona said. “But . . . you’re changing once again, aren’t you?” The entity considered her question, lifting a clawed hand towards the night sky. They observed the back of their hand idly, watching the glowing orange veins pulse alongside their pitch-black exoskeleton. The wind picked up right then, and Kiona shivered—just as much from the cold as from the savage grin on the creature's face. “That’s right,” the entity said, clenching their hand slowly into a fist. They let out a quiet laugh, staring defiantly at the Moon as it rose from behind the clouds. “We are shades, yet not exactly. Not like the others. Here, in this world, we've become something more. We are the Shades of the Moon.” There was a heartbeat of silence, during which Kiona joined the entity in their skygazing. The light-green Moon loomed over the city, shining like the entity's eyes. It promised otherworldly knowledge and terrible secrets. It promised progress. It promised change. In that moment, Kiona couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful. “Shades of the Moon, huh?” she said, smiling a bit. It had a nice ring to it.
