"Detective Villa, get UP" Maya and Vic shouted while banging on her door. Annalise practically fell out of her bed when she tried to stand up.
"I thought you weren't mad" she popped her head out.
"We are happy for you, we are just teasing you, Jack is the one that is mad, but he likes you so…" Groaning Lis made her way to the kitchen, taking a box of Lucky charms and hopped onto the counter.
"Todayyyy is your first day…" travis came in.
"Yuuuuup, Rosie will pick me up in 40 minutes" she said, shoving a handful of cereal in her mouth.
"Yeah well, we're on shift so, good luck we love you, have a nice day" Vic said kissing her cheek and the three firefighters left. Shortly after there was a knock on the door. "Rosie what are you doing here…."she looked at the clock "35 minutes earlier?"
"Just came to see how are you doing….you're still in your pajamas?" "Duuuh! It's 7.30am, I just got up" she rolled her eyes. "Oh really, I got up 2 hours ago, went for a run, drank green smoothie, planned lunch-"
"Planned lunch?" She looked at him confused.
"Yeah I wanna take you out at noon, nothing fancy, Italian, I know you love it"
"Yeah I do" she smiled cheekily and he followed. For a brief second their eyes met and their smiles grew bigger.
"I am going to get changed and put on some makeup, you stay here" she put a hand on his chest and started walking backwards, then with a wink she ran up to her room.
"You know you are beautiful without makeup right?" He asked her when he climbed the stairs to her room, to find her fully dressed in a white shirt and grey washed jeans, her hair in a bride, a few strains of hair let out so it looks more casual, applying brown lipstick to match her neutral look. She smiled, but didn't say anything, after she put highlighter she turned around.

"Maybe, but I like it, not everything girls do is to impress men, you know?" He nodded, slightly hurt because she assumed that he would think such a thing about her.
"I'm ready" she said after zipping her shoes.

"So that's it" Hornstock said when he finished showing Lis where everything was. "Now come with me" She and Rosie shared looks, but followed silently. When Ira opened the door to his office a young woman stood there. When she saw her Villa stopped dead in her tracks.
"No way, it's actually you" the woman said. A second later a squealing Annalise ran to hug the girl, who did the same and they started jumping. Up and down, io and down, short pause, up and down, up and down. When they both were out of breath they stopped and looked at each other. "Wow, you've grown up…" the girl, Rosie still didn't know the name of said, and Villa started laughing. "You too" she said and they both laughed. "Now seriously" Annalise started and turned around. "Sophie, this is Rosie, Rosie, this is Sophie Hornstock, my best friend from the academy, haven't seen each other since we graduated, she went to Washington, I went to New York"
They shook hands. "Wait Hornstock?"
"Sophie is my daughter" Ira said with a proud smile.
"Wait how old are you?" Rosie asked her. "35, 36 in a month and a half"
"So you are, almost 3 years older than her" he pointed at Annalise.
"I skipped 2 years of school" Lis said grinning.
"I didn't know that, why didn't you tell me"
"Because people start to think that I'm too smart, and im not, plus you never asked" she shrugged her shoulders "I actually hated school so that's the main reason why-" a notification from her phone interrupted her.

"Oh we have a body" She said.
"Great, now you" he pointed to Sophie "and you" he pointed to Villa "are gonna work together, you know - partners, and then you" he pointed to Rosie and sighed "you are going to come anyway so….let's just go"
Ira left the room followed by the two girls and Rosie.
"You have so much stuff to tell me" Sophie whispered in her ear.
"Like what exactly?"
"Your and Rosie's history and what have you been up to, you know"
"Wait, what history" Lis said trying to act dumb, tho she, better than all people knew that they had, in fact long history.
"Don't play dumb with me Villa, you know exactly what I'm talking about"
"fine, 8pm at Joe's...you have a lot to tell me as well"

Blood & Noodles
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] As they always have, humanity hunts the gods roaming the world, craving the supernatural power that flows within their veins. Even a drop is zealously guarded, passed from master to student through the ages. It is with this stolen power that the Blooded - those with divine blood coursing through them - grasp beyond mortality and achieve prestige, power, and greatness. Yet, for every fraction of power gained, thousands perish, slain by the gods' supernatural prowess. But everything is beginning to change. Eight years ago, for the first time in human memory, a god was felled. Part-time chef and full-time nuisance Orvi wants nothing to do with gods. Living in a derelict city, his only concerns are ensuring his adopted family's restaurant is prosperous and how to best beat the neighbourhood boys in a fight. If he's lucky, he might even snag a date with the farmer's daughter at the market. But even though he cares nothing for the gods or their blood, the world won't leave him alone forever. Because to reach godhood, one must first leave their humanity behind. *** The first arc of Blood & Noodles follows the adolescent Orvi as he attempts to navigate his rapidly changing home and - by his own definition - protect his family. The story is told almost entirely in the first-person, from the perspective of a teenager who isn't always the sharpest tool in the shed. There are tragic elements, especially in the current arc. It's character-focused and driven, though the protagonist's shenanigans are backdropped by a world operating independently from him. Orvi's a generally light-hearted character, and though the story veers into darker territory, I also want it to be able to make readers smile. Action sequences, despite the fantastical elements, are meant to be grounded and clearly-conveyed; Orvi is a brawler, not a warrior. I'm trying to write a story that's enjoyable to read and flows nicely, mainly because it's more fun to write. I'm also trying to improve my writing, so any feedback, whether positive or negative, is welcome!

Threads follows the interconnected stories of individuals from all strata of this world, from the lowly in-training cadets, to the mighty and seemingly invincible generals, to the otherwise innocuous and 'powerless' civilians.
