《Hidden》Chapter 17

"Who's in there?!" An oh- so familliar voice called out. Jasmine disappeared with a yellow flash and Peter close behind with a blinding red light.
It was just her and David when they noticed the red glow of fire in the next aisle of books beside them. David made eye contact with Emma and put his index finger to his mouth and slowly started walking away, carful not to step on any of the creaky boards. Emma hugged the black book bag close to her, protecting it.
Slowly, the red of flames got dimmer and dimmer until the two turned a corner that completely block their vision of the burly man searching the library.
"Mr.Draco, it's the middle of the night! All the students are in bed at this hour, so quit with the yelling would you?" A soft feminine voice called out. The owner of the voice was given a guff for a reply from Draco as his footsteps continued to shuffle around, looking for the two students.
David then wrapped his arm around Emma's waist and they both continued to back away together, slowly making their way to the exit.
All was going well until they tripped in a pile of books.
Emma landed on David with a small squeak while David let out a large breath. The once small footsteps became full blown stomps as they came closer to the pair.
Emma scrambled to get off of David and she quickly pulled him up, almost throwing him to the other side of the bookshelves. She began to run with David close behind, quickly turning the corners of the maze of a library. Emma grabbed a book from the ground and covered her face, keeping her identity at least a little hidden.
"Stop running you fool!" Draco screamed, his voice echoing off of the empty walls of the large room. They made their way out of the emergency exit and ran down the hallways, their footsteps sounding everywhere into the school.

Emma kept in running, but David was slowly trailing behind, clearly not used to all of the running. The brown-haired girl turned the corner and into a small classroom. It took a few seconds before David caught up.
David was letting out heavy pants as his swear glemed from the moonlight shining from the Windows.
"David" Emma let out a small breath.
"We're going to split up, I'll make Draco chase after me, and you make it too the dorms, I'll see you tomorrow, whether it's in the office, or in class"
Emma smiled as she opened the class door just a bit and check if the coast was clear. Once she made sure she could get dracos attention, she dashed off, slamming a locker to get him to notice her.
"Hey! Get your ass over here now!"
Dracos voice was dripping with fury as he chased Emma down the school.
Her black flats skidded on the floor as she sharply turned a corner, almost slipping on her side.
A dragons roar shook the school, causing Emma to stumble a bit and almost drop the precious book bag on her shoulder.
Confusion swarmed Emma's brain as she puzzled what could be happening to the dragon to become so annoyed, then she remembered Draco.
A giant boulder flew past Emma's face And her eyes widened as she realized Draco was using his magic to stop her. She dashed as fast as she could and heard a loud thud behind her. Taking a quick glance behind her, she saw the old man lay on the floor, panting like a dog.
Emma fist pumpded the air as she faced forward again and made her way to her soft bed.

Her legs were aching by the time she made it up the fourth flight of stairs. Emma slowly made her way to the very end of the hall to her shared room, remembering all the crazy events that happened that day.

Jeeze, first another academy is destroyed, then the whole dragon commotion, then being chased down by a crazy asshole.
What a day
Emma giggled and took out her room key, quietly pushing the door open.
Inside, Ashley was asleep and vulnerable while she layed on her pink bed sheets. The pink and purple haired girl was shivering so Emma did the one thing she could do, so she layed Ashleys pink blanket on top of her, tucking her in.
Emma let out an exhausted sigh as she collapsed on her bed. Her calves ached from the full out exsercize of running.
To think, that all my life I would never imagine doing something as crazy as that.
A smile spread on the brown-haired girls face as she felt the phone in her pocket vibrate, indicating a new message.
She opened the group chat that the four new friends now shared. Although Peter wasn't very good with technology, David new every crack and crevice of the internets code.

Emma put her phone on her bedside table. The cool night brought silence except for the rare song of a cricket or frog. Winter was nearing, and so we're the holidays.
A smile was plastered on Emma's face at the thought of the snow. It wasn't her favorite season, but it was still a lovely one.
That night, a cold breeze sent Emma to sleep

A Spirit Vein's Guide to Immortality
TL;DR Synopsis: Man dies from falling banana, gets interrogated but answers vaguely, suffers consequences Actual synopsis: Spirit veins. Many consider them to be the pillar on which the world of cultivation is built. These things served as the foundation for the first few realms that would allow humanity to achieve its everlasting dream of immortality. However, in the present age, these pockets of condensed energy only exist to be under the foundations of massive organizations, fostering a new generation of fighters while passively radiating the energy they contain. Nevertheless, spirit veins are still an important element in the world of cultivation, albeit much less so. With that in mind, have you ever considered what it would be like for someone to turn into a spirit vein? No? Well, Arthur never thought about it either. Going through the usual reincarnation schtick (if one could consider it usual), Arthur was eventually brought into a place where a god asked him where he would like to be reborn. Unsurprisingly, Arthur told the god his ideal rebirth. However, soon enough, he would come to realize that he should have been more specific with it. Now being reborn as the smallest spirit vein, or if you could even consider him a spirit vein, Arthur wondered what he could do other than wait for time to consume him…and that’s where the system came in. With it, he would experience multiple stories of hardships, adventure, romance, and action…all underground. Unless…? Do keep in mind that English is not my first language, so I would like to apologize in advance if there are any grammatical errors, typos, miscalculations and so on. In fact, I'd highly appreciate it if you tell me those mistakes. Also, this story focuses quite a lot on the gradual progression of the MC at the beginning, but in the long run, upgrading sprees would probably be more common. Thanks for reading this small note!
