《Forever - A Treegan Story》Chapter 5

Ashley's POV
I woke up at about 8:30. I was going to get up and go for a run. When I was getting really I realised that I gave Troian my hairbrush to borrow, and she left it her room. I quietly walked down the stairs and over to Troians and Keegan's room. I knocked on the door. There was no reply so I guess that they are still sleeping. I slowly opened the door and crept in towards the bathroom. I could see my hairbrush sitting next to the sink. When I picked it up and turned around, I saw that Troian and Keegan were in the same bed! They were snuggled together on the middle and Keegan had his arm wrapped around Troian. I quickly walked out of the room as quietly as I could and shut the door. Should I tell anyone? I thought to myself as I finished getting ready for my run. While I was on my run I decided that later that day I would talk to Troian.
Troians POV
I woke up from the sound of the birds chirping and the room was light up with sunlight. I felt Keegan's arm wrapped around my and I tried to roll over without waking him. I failed and he woke up. "Morning Keegs" I said as I kissed his cheek
"Morning beautiful" he said. I started to blush.
"I am going to get up and have a shower, ok? I said as I stood up.
"Ok" he said.
"Oh by the way I'm keeping this shirt. It's really comfortable."
"Ok, I don't really wear that one anyway" he said laughing. I went to have a shower and when I was done Keegan was asleep again. I decided to let him sleep and I walked out the the living room. I seemed to be the only one awake, so I sat on the couch and started to read the magazine on the table. After about 10 minutes Ashley came inside, she seemed puffed.

"Your up early," I said. Ashley is usually the last person to get up.
"Yeah, I went for a run. Troian I need to talk to you."
"Ok? What is it about"
"Come outside where no one else can hear." I got up and followed her outside. We sat down on a bench seat in the garden.
"What did you want to talk to me about?" I said confused.
"I knocked on your door this morning before I left for my run. I needed my hairbrush and I remember you borrowed it. I knocked a few times then Ijust came in because I thought you were sleeping. Anyway I got my brush."
"I know what you are going to say" I said cutting her off "it's about me and Keegan sleeping in the same bed."
"Yes, when I came in Keegan has his arm around you. I wasn't sure if I should tell anyone or not but I thought I needed to tell you."
"Ok, so we were planning on telling you all today, but since you already kinda know, we have decided to start dating."
"Aw you guys are so cute together. And Lucy owed my 20 bux"
"Why does she owe you money?"
We made a bet a while ago on who we thought would get together. I betted you and Keegan and Lucy better Tyler and me." I started laughing. We both stood up and went inside. Ashley went upstairs and I went to tell Keegan that Ashley knew about us.
Keegan's POV
It was about 11am I had just finished getting dressed and I heard Troian come in "Keegan, we need to talk."
"I hope you not breaking up with me." I say as I come out of the bathroom and sit on the bed next to her

"No, of course I'm not! But Ashley knows about us."
"How?" I am very confused at this point "I thought we weren't telling anyone until later today?"
"I didn't tell her. She came in here this morning to get her hairbrush and she saw us sleeping. She came and talked to me when I got up and I told her what was going on."
"Ok, well I think we need to tell everyone" I say as I get up and start walking over to the door.
"I agree" Troian says as she follows me. We walk out to the living room holding hands.
"Everyone one, could you please come down stairs, we have something to tell you." Troian says at the bottom of the stairs. We hear all the doors upstairs open and Troian squeezes my hand. All of a sudden we hear a big thud and a scream. "Shay! Don't close your eyes. Someone call an ambulance!" Sasha screams. I calls an ambulance and Troian quickly runs up the stairs.

A Beginner's Guide to Napping, Sunbathing, and Slaughtering Your Prey
Fang is a simple cat. Fang likes napping in the sun. Fang does not like being called Chairman Meow. Fang likes his belly being scratched for precisely 17.329 seconds. Fang does not like being punted between dimensions. Fang likes hunting and killing defenseless wildlife. Fang does not like mysterious blue boxes that appear out of thin air. Fang is having a Very Bad Day. A few things to note: Fang is a cat soul in a cat body, and that's not going to change any time soon. No cat girl evolution or possessed puppet or any of that. The slice of life tag is there for a reason. There is no epic tale here, only a cat doing cat things in a (hopefully) interesting setting. The game elements are pretty light, mostly there for flavor, so don't expect a huge amount of crunch. Nature is cruel, and cats are crueler than most.

The Realm Beneath: A Dungeon Story
This is the story of a dungeon, not a reincarnated soul or a human trapped in a soul gem, but a dungeon. Born as a dungeon, it lives as a dungeon, and kills like a dungeon. Guided only by its experiences, vague ideas and knowledge from somewhere else and the mysterious system that greets it upon awakening it strives to build and live and learn. Immerse yourself in the tale as you read about the dungeon and the adventurers that challenge its depths, puzzles, traps and creatures. Read about the realm beneath as a world comes to life within a mountain in the centre of the land. Forests, swamps, deserts, tundra and more can all be found in the cavernous chambers that blossom with life. Author's note. There is an overarching plot that is more than just the dungeon getting bigger. I will be uploading at least one chapter a week until furthur updates on my schedule get posted and hopefully more once I finish off the other book i'm working on. You can expect me to try and craft unique challenges and floors, stuff you most likely haven't seen before in dungeon books whilst still having a hopefully decent plot. I can't promise much about it but I will certainly read all the comments, respond where appropriate and take on board suggestions. I promise to keep you updated and not drop away without saying anything. I would consider this to be part of the writers pledge but if circumstances force my hand I may have to drop it. (no plans) A Note on tags: Profanity: Not excessive but where i find appropriate. Gore: Well that depends how well I do my job doesn't it. If I can paint a vivid picture that has the potential to be gory, then my writing may be to an acceptable quality. Traumatising content: Again, this depends on my skill as a writer, I guess I hope you find it traumatising - no that’s not right. Well you know what I mean anyway. Hopefully I can paint a vivid picture in your mind that makes the book all the more special.

A Hunt Upon Wings of Shadows
Lianne has spent the last few years of her life as a nomadic monster-hunter, aimlessly taking jobs and disappearing without a trace. Her innately high ether reserves are the only thing that’s keeping her alive. After a painful yet successful contract, she receives an offer to hunt a peculiar beast from a mysterious man who- much to her dismay- pairs her with a man by the name of Sirius, a skilled swordsman with too much empathy to give out. At the same time, inside the impossibly tall walls of the divine city, a group of soldiers including a naive yet powerful girl by the name of Felicia, an exemplar soldier named Raynauld, and a scarred and aloof woman named Maria prepare to head out on a mission to deliver justice to a deserter who is reported to be in a large town far outside the lush interior of the city. However, the two groups will find that their paths will intertwine, and painful memories will push them against each other at every turn, with new monsters emerging from the shadows to pick each of them apart piece by piece. ************************** Alright, so this is the first book I've posted here, and I've been sitting on this idea for a long while. I'm open to any pieces of criticism, and I would be glad to receive tips and advice. Enjoy! Normally, new chapters come out Saturday nights, sometimes double uploads if there's a short chapter or if I feel like it. That's subject to change if I run out of the current backlog. Second note, this is the first draft, and some things (like a few characters) are going to be cut. It's still going to be the same storyline, but keep that in mind.
