《The red one | Sam U'ley》Chapter seventeen
Advertisement
Once Sam dropped me off he went back out into the woods, running, saying something about me having to stay inside. I obviously agreed too because I was terrified of the red head vampire.
I walked upstairs and went to my room. I sat my bag and down took my shoes off. I walked over to my desk and sat down. I pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil and started drawing. I didn't know why I was drawing I just did.
It was about 30 minutes later when a door slammed downstairs. I looked back down at my crawling and saw I drew a black wolf; Sam's wolf. A small smile came to my face as I sat down the pencil and walked down to see what thay was. I walked over to see Charlie sitting at the table, crying. I ran over to him.
"Charlie, what's wrong," I asked. Charlie looked up to me and sighed.
"Harry, he uh, had a heart attack and didn't make it," he said with a small nod. My face fell. I placed my hand onto his back and rubbed small circles.
"I'll be fine, but you should go check on Sam. Harry was like a father too him," he said quietly. I nodded and ran out the door. I was still wearing the same sundress as I was earlier. I ran as fast as I could down to the Rez. I didn't have a car and I didn't even think to ask Charlie for his, but I was almost there.
I ran up to Sam's house and ran inside; not bothering to knock.
"Sam!" I called out, out of breath. I heard foot steps come and I looked over.
Sams eyes were red and there were tears in his eyes. When he saw me his eyes widened, but his face didn't change.
"River, what are you doing here," he asked quietly as he rubbed his face. I walked up to him and pulled him into a hug. I wrapped my arms around his waist and help him tight. That was all it took for him to let it out.

"It's okay sam, it's okay. I'm here," I said quietly. Sam picked me up by my waist and I wrapped my arms around his neck while his went around my waist. He held me there as he cried into my neck. I just held him.
"I'm sorry. You shouldn't see me like this. I'm a mess," he said with a raspy voice into my neck. I shut him down.
"No, Sam. I of all people know what it's like. The last thing you should do is be alone," I said as I held him tighter; never wanting to let go. He nodded and sat down on the couch and held me tighter. He pulled back from my neck and leaned his back against the couch with me still on his lap.
"It's was that red head. He killed her," he said with a shake of his head. I grabbed his face and gave him a sad look. There wasn't much I could do, but be there for him. Sam all of a sudden grabbed my face and looked me close in the eye.
"You can't leave me," he pleaded. I nodded and grabbed the hand that was on my face.
"I'd never leave Sam; ever," I said firmly. Sam nodded and pulled me into a hug again and placed his head on top of my own. I put my head against his chest and listened to his thumping heartbeat. It was going at a million beats per minute it sounded like.
I placed my hand against his chest.
He pulled back a bit and looked at me.
"Thank you," he said quietly. I gave him a small smile and a nod. He pulled me even closer and connected our lips in a small kiss before pulling away. He went to say something, but stopped.
"I need to go. Seth and Leah just phased. Just...stay here. Please. For me. I don't know where that vampire is and I can't risk you getting hurt too. Or worse," he said looking at me. I have him a small nod. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and Sam outside. I ran after him and stopped at the door and watched him run away in his wolf form. I couldn't help but smile.

I slowly turned back around and walked back inside and decided to look around. I walked into the kitchen and saw that he had a lot of ingredients to make things. I got an idea. A smile came to my face as I started grabbing everything I needed.
Once I had everything out I started cooking and baking. I was making homemade brownies and steak with sides. Sam had some steak in his fridge that was going to go bad in 2 days and it's not like he knows how to cook.
As I was cooking I got a really bad feeling. I turned off the stove and grabbed a knife. Yes, I know I have weird powers, but I don't entirely know how to use them.
I had the knife at my side and slowly walked out into the living and froze when I saw the red hair. I gripped the knife even tighter as she turned around and looked at me with a terrifying smile. I moved back a bit as she got closer.
"You don't have your big alpha here to protect you now," she said in a taunting voice. My hands started shaking a bit, but I held onto the knife tighter. She saw and looked down at the knife and laughed.
"I'm already dead. What are you gonna do, crack me?" She asked sarcastically as she whipped her hair back and kept walking closer. I kept walking back until my back it a wall. I kept my head down as I heard her foot steps come closer.
A hand as cold as ice grabbed my neck and pushed me against the wall causing me to choke. I looked at her with wide eyes as she looked at my neck.
"You smell so...good. God, what I would do to taste you right now," she said to herself. She looked back up at me and gave me a smirk.
"That's for later. Anyways, you know Bella, right? Lover boy she's with killed mine, and you being close to her is just what I need," she stated as she put more pressure on my neck. "Now, when he comes back and I know he will. Tell him the next time I see him, he'll wish he never touched James," she said looking me in the eye.
Without her seeing. I pulled some energy into my hands and before she knew if she went flying across the room; back outside. I ran out their and kept throw energy. I was so scared so it was a little difficult.
I needed up missing her and she ran back over to me and grabbed my throat from behind. I heard a voice yelling, multiple voices yelling. I turned to see a very angry looking Sam. As well as embry, Paul, and Jared. Sam looked as if he could kill.
"Let her go!" Sam yelled out. The red head just laughed and tightened her grip on my throat making my vision start to blur.
"Take this as a warning," The biggest growl i'd ever heard was released.
"SAM NO!" Was the last thing I heard before I felt a burning pain and everything went black.

The Ingress Estate
Jonathon Eucole. Soldier. Scholar. Now an Initiate, the dedication without dedication, he finds himself both prisoner and master of an arcane edifice, the Ingress Estate, which can neither be escaped, nor controlled; only diverted, maintained, and pacified. This is a gothic fantasy story, set in a world in which gods and the afterlife are not only real and known, but were both established in living memory of some of the inhabitants after millennia of arcane warfare with the being who constructed the mundane reality the humans occupy. But this isn't the story of those who colonized the afterlife at the cost of their own humanity, but a somewhat more ordinary man, in somewhat extraordinary circumstances. This is also a LitRPG-lite, which means there's a system of sorts, fragments of which can be observed through Jonathon's eyes. Don't expect level-up screens, or statistics, or indeed numbers much at all, beyond those the inhabitants of the world itself apply to understanding their own reality. It pretty much doesn't matter to the story, I mention it so those who don't want to read LitRPG at all can successfully avoid it here. I don't have any particular plan here, just some ideas inherent in the genre. This is a character concept I toyed with some years ago; an old man, bright of mind but weighed down into apathy, both by his past and his responsibilities for a terrible estate that cannot be left without stewardship. Don't expect any kind of overarching plot or story, because that's really not what this is about. Also don't expect much dialogue. Or character development. Or much of anything, really, because I've planned nothing in the way of an actual book, here. Other relevant information, if you've read this far for some reason: The MC isn't super-powerful to begin with, and probably never will be. He's a veteran with some useful skills, and the insight on how to use them, so can deal with the world's ordinary threats reasonably well, but not too much beyond that. --- Currently on hiatus, as currently the story has a rather poor ratio of effort-to-personal-payoff. I may return to this once I have a clear idea of how to get the stories where I want them. I've started a more standard LitRPG using the same system. But if you like intelligence characters who cleverly min-max their classes, it probably isn't the story for you; it's the story of a rather ordinary guy who winds up in a very similar universe.
