《Crazier Then You (Twilight // Crazy Jane)》Chapter 10
Advertisement
Jane stood shakily from the sand having gotten jelly legs from sitting so long. Paul helped her stand making her smile warily at him, scared of his intentions. "So Paul? Why did you offer to walk me home? Thought you'd get to cop a feel or something of my chest?" Jane asked heatedly a bit upset that she had allowed herself to enjoy a males company.
Paul looked flabbergasted but shook his head with small smile, "No um I just figured you didn't know the way back from Sams. Plus I just thought you'd feel better walking with a strong man such as myself." Paul teased but earned a glare. "I'm a very independent women..... I can protect myself." Jane answered in annoyance thinking he was just like every other toxic male. "I know you can Jane. I was only teasing I also just enjoy your company and wanted to spend time with you." Paul answered truthfully making Jane go red and look at him wide eyed.
"You enjoy being around me? Me and the other 60+ of me?" She asked trying to make sure she heard right and he nodded eagerly. "I'm not like other girls.... kissing my ass won't make me fall into bed with you." Jane said yet again defending herself in case his intentions were not pure. "I know that Jane. That's what I like about you. And I'm not trying to bed you I just wanna spend time with you. I find you interesting and good company." Paul said with an easy going smile that made Jane suspicious.
"So like no hidden agenda? No offense but I'll believe it when I see it." She mumbled as she wrapped her arms around her in an anxious manner. But Paul's smile never dropped as he believed he was making her see he wasn't a bad guy.
"That's perfectly okay Jane. I just wanna get to know you, and spend time with you." He clarified but Jane looked at him funny and he began to wonder who had hurt her trust so bad. "So Paul what's it like being part of a cult?" Jane asked trying to rile up his anger problem that Jake and Quil had warned her about but he only laughed. "You believe that fake shit? I don't think La Push is big enough to sacrifice people for devil worship.... people would notice to fast." He answered with a smirk.

Jane hated herself for laughing at his joke but was quick to put her walls back up. "Charming. I bet you've told all the girls you've screwed that one when they ask also." Jane answered angry. It disgusted her that he had been in bed with so many women. He was a player and in her mind all Paul saw her as was a new piece of ass.
Jane felt her mouth go dry as she saw the hurt on his face at her words. "I would NEVER just use you for your body Jane. Your too important for that. Besides it would physically kill me to do such a thing to you." Paul said deathly serious making her tense up and freeze. "I'm sorry. Sometimes I just say what I think impulsively." Jane apologized but only glanced at him.
"Believe me no one understands that better than me. But I really hope that someday you'll see I'm not trying to hurt you." Paul said sincerely making Janes face heat up and her to look away. "I'm a lot more crazy then you Paul. But I have a question, Why me? What's so great about crazy Jane? Why do you wanna be around me?" Jane asked and everyone in the underground watched in silence some inanticipation and others in annoyance.
"Jane your not crazy, you just live differently from most people. You changed your lifestyle due to your differences. But your not crazy...... crazy would be your cousins mind about dating a nasty Cullen." Paul spat making Jane flinch but listen to his words. He hated her cousin with a passion but he also seemed to hate the Cullens like Jane had and still does.
"Why do you guys hate each other so much. All Jake, Embry, and Quil would say is it's because of your legends." Jane wondered curiously but Paul had gone stiff. "Just some old legends about a territory treaty we had made years ago back when we were just a regular Quilliet Tribe." Paul pushed it off but Jane could see there was more to the story but she didn't push like she would with anyone else.

"So Paul what's there to do for fun around here?" Jane asked just trying to keep them from going to an awkward silence where she would feel him staring at her none stop. "Cliff diving, hiking, but all the fun stuff is in Port Angeles." Paul said with a nervous tone and he kept gulping as he tried to say something. "Yeah I asked Emily earlier and she said the same thing.... god this place is so boring. And I'd love to go see this port Angela's but Bella's a damn homebody or Jacob body all the time now. Same goes for Jacob, and Quil doesn't have a license so I'm stuck." Jane puffed out in annoyance.
She reminded Paul a bit of himself which made him smile happily before realizing this was his chance to have a date or even just hangout with Jane alone. "I um could take you. If you want that is but if not it's fine." His face was beat red and he looked embarrassed. Jane trying to contain herself slowly nodded, "um yeah that sounds cool um.... yeah let's do it." She said just as nervous and he looked to her in disbelief.
"You really want to go with me?" He asked completely shocked by her agreeing and she slowly nodded. "Does tonight work?" Jane asked and he nodded vigorously with multiple yes's. "Great so um if you could pick me up at my house tonight at?" She asked him as she waited for a a time. "How about 7?" He smiled making her smile back. "Sounds like a plan." Jane said it like it was nonchalant but knew this was a weird step in their relationship. God she had hated him but now she was willing to spend her free time with him?
She hasn't realized they were at her house and he was just staring at her in worry as she was deep in thought. "Oh I'm sorry thank you for walking me home I'll see you in a couple hours." Jane said with determination turning to go inside but stopping short. Paul who was waiting to make sure she got in nicely also froze unsure if she was gonna call it off. But instead Jane turned around and strode up to him before hugging him making his eyes go wide, he wrapped his arms around her gently knowing that she wasn't a hugger.
"Um I'll see you later." Jane mumbled in a daze and quickly rushed inside leaveing a happy and confused Paul. From what he had gathered from Embry baby doll was the only person who would hug people. But it also made a smirk come to his face as he began his way back to Emily's. In Janes eyes he must have been special to receive a hug like that, and he loved it.

Patchwork System
Notification (cannot be ignored): For being the first being to kill another of its own species after Sublimation, Lyam Aldren is awarded the Title of Cain’s Successor. Let all fear the Kinslayer!!! Lyam Aldren, killer for hire, was just going about his business when he suddenly received a notification from something called the System. Apparently, the entirety of Earth, its denizens and its matter were transported into the world of the System, planted in 'patches' all throughout the infinite world. The world of the Patchwork System is one of challenges, where life is cheap, power is king, and Classes and levels are a thing. In a brutal world, there is perhaps room for a killer with bloodstained hands to find his own way, free of his past. However, his Title and his inherent nature plague him, his fragmented personality laid bare to those with the eyes to see, and if he doesn't become powerful enough to defeat or escape those who would use or destroy him, he will quickly be devoured by the merciless world created by the System. Compared to my previous work, this is a more 'classic' litrpg setup, with clear (if somewhat complex) progression through levels and skill gains, with a 'system apocalypse' setup. Unlike most system apocalypse story protagonists, Lyam is neither a leader nor is he particularly interested in saving his fellow Earthlings. This is a story of a man who is both endangered and set free by the destruction of his old world, as he finds both power, new discoveries, and adventure in a place where his past matters not at all and power is the only language most speak. Later in the story, there will be harem elements, but the first volume is dedicated to Lyam's first months in the System. For those who are more interested in the Heirs of the Hooded King, I am putting it on hiatus as I rework the setting and future story developments a bit.
