《Crazier Then You (Twilight // Crazy Jane)》Chapter 1
Advertisement
Jane sat in her uncle's police car reliving her newest trauma of the hospital. They injected her with things there, beat her, and a nurse and doctor there seemed to have it out for her. Maybe because she loved to escape ruining their perfect hospital record of no escapes. It wasn't Her. It was Flit, he would teleport out of there......but they always brought Jane back.
Hammerhead stayed close to the surface the entire car ride, because of Janes nerves, but also the fact her uncle was a cop. But Charlie knew what he was getting himself into, Janes tapes and files were in the trunk. Charlie was her mother's brother, so he had no idea where the root of her trauma came from........... daddy.
"So Jane? Hungry or thirsty we could stop?" Charlie asked trying to get her to open up. "No thank you......I'm just looking forward to being .....home I guess." She didn't know what to call it, Jane was used to anything but a house being her home. She's lived in a hospital since she could remember. Because she's crazy Jane.
"Alright we should be there in five hours, I'm sorry about your father by the way. I know you lost him pretty young right before the hospital." Jane was tense at the mention of her father. She never let her past slip in the hospital, so no one knew what trauma caused her personalities to come forward. But Charlie being a cop saw her tense and was already suspicious, but he shook it off as nothing.
"Yeah it was hard, to be honest I didn't even know you were a thing until a week ago." Jane said calmer then she felt Hammerhead was pounding her chest ready to go toe to toe with Charlie. Hammerhead hated authority but also just men in general. Poor Charlie tried to hug Jane in the parking lot out of the nurses and doctors nosey views. Hammerhead came through at the mere touch of his hand and started screaming, "DONT FUCKING TOUCH ME!" Before pushing him back roughly.

"Well you know now, and you also have Bella. We won't let anything happen to you, and we will make up for all those years." Charlie said gruffly. He was surprised his brother in law hadn't told Jane of what family she had leftover. But he put it on it being Kay who didn't remember.
There was a time when the body only belonged to Kay Challis. She was so young when he lost saw her, it was at her mother's funeral. She was so small and innocent, loved the color pink. But now Charlie saw a girl who was a stranger, wearing leather and dark eye liner. Soft rock music playing over the radio station that Hammerhead put on after getting in pissed off was the only noise. He still needed to go through her files to know how to keep Jane more present then the others.
——————————————-
When the house came into view Jane was excited to say the least. Nothing against Charlie but being cramped inside the car with him was making her anxious. It wasn't anything personal just men in general. He helped grab one of her two bags, she didn't have much, which upset him but he didn't show it to her. He felt guilty for not knowing how she had been or where she was.
"So this will be your room, Sue Clearwater helped pick out the colors and decorations. So we can change it if it's not what you want" Charlie said awkwardness radiating off him. The walls were painted a light green and the bedding was pure black. It was simple but Jane likes it. "No this is great...thanks Charlie" Jane said with a small smile.
He gave a brief nod before looking anywhere else, "Bella should be back soon. Her boyfriend and his family are throwing her a small party at their home" he said it almost monotonous making Jane sad. She ditched her family on her birthday? And Charlie didn't seem fond of her boyfriend either.

"Well I can't wait to see her, I feel like this is the start of a new long life, which sounds weird coming from doom and gloom me. But I really am grateful for you opening your home up for me and everyone else." She smiled lightly. Charlie noticed she was identical to her mother, it made him soften up even more. He left with a nod before rushing to put the game on tv after ordering pizza.
Jane sat in her room thankful to be out of that horrible and cold hospital. Hammerhead scoffed on the surface still but not as strong. She asked sarcastically while rolling eyes.
"I don't know if we will ever truly be happy, but we owe it to ourselves to try. " she said in a hopeful tone.
Everyone in the underground was shocked. This memory would be hidden deep inside the darkness of the underground. For hope was not something any of them considered good, nor have they seen in a long time from anyone especially Jane.

Of Righteous Evil
To wield the magical Arts. The power to manipulate nature itself. Follow Silas on his journey as he learns what it means to be a Mage. With war brewing on the horizon, Silas' plan to become a hero clashes with the harsh reality of conflict. Torn between contradicting emotions, he will have to reconsider his perceptions of both good and evil. Does the end truly never justify the means? Note from author (13.09.20): Sentences have been shortened, less commata used. Paragraphs have been split up. Meant to be "realistic" fantasy, with no overpowered protagonist or evil sorcerer trying to destroy the world. The focus lies on the characters, their progressions and their inner conflicts, coupled with an intricate magic system. Constructive criticism is highly appreciated! HIATUS Updates: 12.12.20 Chapter 1 & 2 are written together. The backstory of the parents will be integrated into one of the later chapters. 20.12.20 Prologue has been rewritten, fight added. Will now continue writing the chapters until the first arch is finished. 19.01.21 Chapter 15 is written. Will hopefully be able to write more from now on, university has been kinda rough these days. 08.04.21 Chapter 16 & 17 has been written. Beginning will be rewritten (again) to start with chapter 3. Chapter 1 & 2 will be shown through reocurring dreams / nightmares. 10.08.21 Rewriting of the first arc is complete and has been proofread twice. Plot of rest of book one is 80% complete. Will publish chapters once first book is finished and proofread. 06.12.21 Second arc is finished (chapter 24/31-33). First draft will likely be finished around February, after which I will edit a few suggestions of my beta readers and publish it on RR. Release schedule: Once a week on Sunday, chapters are around 3000 words long. (HIATUS, see last chapter for more info) Cover art by Riverman09

The Dreamside Road
Five years after the world fell into chaos, a treasure of artifacts is up for grabs. The relics of the Dreamside Road offer a power that could help rebuild or annihilate what remains. Orson Gregory is an adventurer for hire, but hunts this treasure for answers, not glory. Enoa Cloud’s late aunt helped hide the Dreamside Road, but following in her aunt’s supernatural tradition offers her as much peril as power. Together, Orson and Enoa battle a magic-obsessed militia, clash with a host of rivals, and face constant adventure on their journey to find the Dreamside Road. *Updates Monday and Friday The Dreamside Road is now on TopWebFiction! Vote so people know this exists. _____________________________________ NOTE: The Progression tag applies specifically to Enoa. Also, fair warning, that element doesn't enter the story until she begins her studies. Content: Main characters range in age from teenagers to people in their thirties and older, but it will not contain gratuitous violence or explicit sexual content. It also won’t shy away from implication, anything to make this story and its world feel more real. Characters will freely allude to potentially triggering topics, including living with a disability, facing terminal illness, coping with trauma, surviving societal destabilization, and the consequences of bigotry. At its most intense, the Dreamside Road is a hard PG-13. Worldbuilding: This is not a story with a lot of early exposition scenes, conveniently explaining ‘magic systems’ and political dynamics. Readers will learn, progressively, as the characters do. This story/world has a ‘magic system’, or rather, a set of systems, but the effort to quantify and understand the truth of the setting plays a role in the backstory, as well as in some character motivations. In that same vein, not every character has a firm grasp on the nature of their world, and not every piece of dialog from every character should be taken as entirely truthful Worldbuilding. Also, this isn't the softest Sci-fi. There are at least some basic explanations given for various elements, but Royal Road does not give me a spectrum to choose from. Given the choice between hard and soft, let's just say The Dreamside Road won't be cited in any college Physics papers. Setting and Theme: The Dreamside Road walks the line between fantasy and science fiction and deals with finding one’s place in a changing world. Many of the characters in this story are United States natives and the story begins in the United States, my homeland. However, knowledge or interest in this country is not necessary to understand the story, especially as it progresses. Also, as this is a novel that deals with societal collapse and while that damage may be widespread, in story, I don’t want to overstep and critique the culture of others’ unless I have particular knowledge in a given area. Ultimately, the Dreamside Road is American in the same way Harry Potter is English, fantasies that do not have a full secondary world, but with enough original elements to fully diverge the setting from our the real world.
