She was sitting on the couch thinking. "You okay?" She heard a voice behind her looking back it was Rocky "Yeah" she said and faced forward he sits down next to her. "Why don't you come out to the hot tub with us?" He asks her now realizing he now had no shirt on.
"I think I'll pass" she chuckled feeling slightly insecure about wearing a bathing suit in front of them.
"It's okay to be insecure" he said catching her off guard "How did you-" "Blaze I've known you since we were kids" he said she smiled slightly to herself.
He puts a strand of hair behind her ear kissing her head and got up "If you want to join it's not too late to" he said and left.
She sighs. The next day they were riding their bikes. "So you don't really like her or anything, right Rocky?" Colt asks making her frown. "Who?" He asks. "Her. Jo" Tum Tum notices the tension between the three Rocky started getting mad that he was doing this to Blaze.
"No. Well she's alright" he said annoyed "Why do you care you have a girlfriend" he said looking at Blaze who was next to Colt.
"Good. Because thinking about girls and stuff" him forgetting Blaze was there. "And..." he stuttered not knowing what else to say.
She was lost in thought "Blaze look out!" She snapped back in reality her bike hitting a big rock her tumbling off. Tires screeching was heard a bit in the distance and foot steps coming closer and she sat up.
The three ran over to her "Are you alright?" Rocky said "Yeah got distracted" she mumbled feeling pain rush to her face. Rocky helps her up and she brushed herself off. "I guess boys can distract you from your concentration" Tum Tum smirks looking at her.

She rolled her eyes kicking him slightly "Hey!" He said a bit annoyed. "Jo!" Rocky calls out.
Jo was petting a horse looking at the four.
"Hi, Rocky" she greets.
"Hi." "How do you feel?"
"A little sore here and there. Nothing major" Rocky mentions.
She touches his face. "That's good" Colt drove around towards the horse.
"I'm alive too. If you're just dying to know" she sighed at him.
"Hi. Colt. How are you?" Jo goes over. Both Rocky and her make eye contact. At this point realizing his 'Sorry' was a lie.
"I'm pretty banged up, but I'll manage" Colt said.
Blaze scoffs at the two. "Here this is for you" he pulls out a Ninja doll.
"Oh... how sweet" "Hey that's a Malibu Ninja!" Tum Tum comments.
"Hope you like it" Colt said. Rocky just stared at his brother shaking his head with disapproval. "I'm gonna ride my bike around" she mumbled to Rocky and took off "Nice going Colt" Rocky said a bit annoyed. "What did I do?" Colt asks.
"Picking flowers huh?" Rocky asks a women "Yes, to make medicine for your wounds..." the women said he smiled "Do you mind if I have a one? I want to give it to someone" he said she smiled at him.
"Is this a special girl you like?" She asks "It's complicated" he noticed she was talking to the flowers "Why are you talking to them though?" He asks.
"I'm explaining to them why I am picking them off their roots" she said. "They can't understand you can they?" He asks.
"They may not understand my words...but they know my feelings" she replied.
"Do they ever say anything back to you?" He asked "Sometimes" "But they don't have to."

"Because they know they are helping me."
"And that is the way. We all help one another"
"Because we are all brothers and sisters"
"I think I have enough of them and what kind of flowers does she like?" She asks. "Roses definitely" he said the women smiled picking one and hands it to him. "Whatever path you take to be with her... treat her well and tell her before it's too late" she said.
He smiled looking at the flower "Thank you"
She placed a hand on his head before leaving with her basket.
He thinks 'Maybe I should tell her...'
Rocky looks at another flower. Soon they were at the place they were at yesterday "Jo here comes your father" Jo's mom said.
"Come on let's go!" Blaze sat by herself watching Colt show Jo some moves.
"Okay kids come on hop in!"
They ran over getting inside.
"Come on Rocky we're going to be late for the hearing!" Tum Tum said.
"Hold on I'm coming!" Rocky yells he rushes over stopping Blaze "Blaze I got this for you" he said quickly before she got in. She smiled "Rocky this is beautiful thank you" she kisses his cheek.
He smiled and hugged her and she did back they both then got in the car.
Colt watches the two jealous obviously hitting him but he just stayed silent. "Come on kids put your seatbelts on"
A motorcycle blocked their path. "What's going on?" The guy in the front asked.
"He's blocking the road!"
More motorcycles came "Whats that?" Tum Tum asks Colt and Blaze make eye contact looking out window.
"Bikers" Colt said.
"Trouble"
"Let's go!"
The truck ahead took off and then motorcycles surrounded them.
"I think these guys woke up on the wrong side of the cage this morning" Colt mentions.
"Sounds like someone else I know" she said making Colt glare at her.
One road on top of the car they were in "That's cool" Tum Tum said "I mean, terrible" he corrected himself.
The truck drove off the cars following behind.
They were in another car following the car ahead.
A jeep pulled up behind them. "It's a stink bomb!" "Don't breathe!" She held her breath covering her eyes it was hard to see anyways.
The car stops with the jeep blocking them. They all get out coughing somebody grabbed her as she struggled "Blaze! JO!" Their names were called Blaze fought the guy that grabbed her trying to get to Jo "MOM!" Jo calls out.
The guy ended up getting Blaze in the jeep she was still struggling but she felt weak. Sometimes she could fight and other times she just felt normal and as if she couldn't she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"I'm sorry Jo" she said struggling more "It's not your fault" she said also trying "Shut up!" The guy that held her ordered.
"Who are you?! What do you want?" Jo yells.
"Shut up and be still! Little ladies" the guy driving said covering Jo's mouth but she bit his hand and Blaze head butts him feeling pain hit her back of the head now seeing how Colt felt that day. "OW!" He yells.
The Jeep turns and she sees Rocky driving the car hoping they would somehow get them out of this.

Damsel of Distress
Victoria Bright is a Wife. No, she isn't married. "Wife" is the Class the system gave her. She has to fight Demons to get stronger? Then she will become the strongest Wife of all! She can only learn Fashion and Household Skills? No one said you can't fight in High-heels! The gods made her best friend a Hero? First, she has to beat some sense into him for betraying his own beliefs. Accompany her as she survives in a dangerous world, a world that has secrets even the gods don't know about. __________________________________________ Warning!!The second half of "The Wave 07: The System" and the first half of "The Wave 08: Heroes and Knights" contain a lot of exposition that most other stories would consider "secrets of the world" that those stories would uncover over the course of a long time. There are two reasons this is revealed so early and directly. One: Not revealing that information quickly and not asking questions about it would be completely OoC for the characters involved in that scene. Two: It's information you, the reader, need to know before the main story can really get started. Namely, the "secrets not even the gods know about".
8 331The Far Away Dream
The possessor priesthood drew the perfect bodies. They pulled them from pictures and brought them to life. One of them drew his vision of the perfect world. A world where only beauty bodies and good feelings are allowed to exist. However, his plans to take the souls needed to fuel this insanity failed and the priesthood's existence became a myth. Now the world and cultures of Neolys must face their ancient past. A story of suffering, the intimacy it creates, and the will to fight against those who try to redraw the place you call home. The many characters in Neolys must unite and struggle against The Far Away Dream. Is a world of suffering worth fighting for? Is it insanity to fight for what hurts you? (I am in the process of rewriting/refurbishing this long story from one I wrote long ago and saved on my computer, into first person. I abandoned it many years ago. It will take time to figure everything out again and make the right changes. The Prologue/first chapter is supposed to be in third person)
8 83Lost in a Dream
Published Monday, Wednesday, and Friday! If dreaming is a drug, then I'm a junkie. For most people, sleeping is an obstacle. Something to get out of the way, so they can get back to their life. For others, it's an escape to nothing, a blissful break from the wears of life. It's the opposite for me. I live so that I can dream; I work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world. My real world. After all, what is reality if not the place where dreams don't come true? Can you fight a dragon on your way home from work, or conquer a foreign land to save an oppressed people from their malevolent overlords after vacuuming the living room? Can you visit a land where mountains look like freshly baked phyllo dough, or live in a castle bigger than my apartment complex? Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power. Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a mundane life. A birthing place for grander ideas we wish could materialize. I choose to live in a world where they do.
