《Sophie Swan: P.L》Chapter fourteen:
Advertisement
I'm leaning against the truck outside La Push's school, waiting for the bell to go, so Seth and I could verse each other on his console. Last time he beat me, and to be truthful I'm a sore loser, so I need a re-match to prove I'm the best.
The bell finally went and I watched in concern as Seth was walking near me with what looked to be a black eye. "Seth, who did that to you?"
"It doesn't matter, let's just go home." I stopped him, grabbed his face and examined it. I made him meet my eye.
"Tell me, point them out, who did that to you?" After a moment of hesitation, Seth pointed out this boy, who seemed to be a bit taller than him. He was leaning up against the brick wall away from the doors laughing with his mates.
"Please don't do anything."
"Come on." I dragged him by the arm, heading straight for this boy.
"Cody look." They started to giggle and say something under their breaths but I wasn't having it.
"Apologise for his black eye."
"I don't think I will."
"Sophie let's just go."
"No, this dickward is gonna apologise before I make him."
"As if you can make me do anything."
I punched him square in the nose causing him to yelp and step backwards. I grabbed his shirt and punched him in the face again, before pushing him forcibly against the wall-banging his head in the process.
"I believe I said to apologise."
"I-I'm sorry."
I leaned up close to his ear, so only he will hear. "You are never going to bully him again, you will treat him with respect. If he says jump you fucking jump, or I will come for you. They won't ever find the body. Do you understand me, Cody?"

"Yes." He squeaked.
"What's going on here princess?" It was Paul.
"What was that? I can't hear you. I don't like to repeat myself. Do you understand me, Cody?"
"Yes, I understand you. Please let me go." I let him go, with a final knock to the head and swooped my leg under his causing him to fall onto the ground.
Only then did I notice that a crowd had formed around. "Come on Seth, he won't be bothering you anymore."
I guided Seth, with a hand on his back and grabbed Paul's hand, which gave me butterflies but I ignored it and walked over toward the truck.
"What the hell was that?"
"He was bullying Seth, what was I supposed to do?"
"Nothing, you could've gotten hurt."
"But I didn't, you can't be mad at me for that."
"I'm not, I thought you looked pretty hot doing it though."
"Aw, thanks, Pauly. Now tell me, what's with you going around telling guys that we're dating?" My mood changed and I now stood in front of the flustered Paul Lahote, with my arms crossed with his pack friends stifling laughs behind him.
"Uh, well...."
"I mean don't get me wrong I'll be happy to date you, but I'd at least like to know I'm dating someone, rather than it coming from Billy."
"You would date me?"
"Don't get your hopes up though blushes. Anyway, we have to go, so I'll see you around. Unless you want to join us in a few games?"
"You're just upset I beat you in the last race."
"Seth, sweetie, I love you, I really do, but I will give you another black eye if you don't shut up right now."
"Sore loser."
"I am not a sore loser, I let you win that's all." Yep, I let him win, let's go with that.
"Sure you did."
"Just get in the car."
"I'll meet you at Harry's."
"Ok."
We arrived at Harry's and immediately we all headed for Seth's room.

Sorcery in Boston
The timid daughter of some of the greatest spellcasters ever to have lived has found herself in another world, courtesy of magic gone awry. In Boston, Massachusetts, in the year 1935, she finds some kind souls in a hard era. In the heart of the Great Depression, as war looms around the corner, she seeks to find her place, and must come to terms with both who she is and what she truly desires. Author's Notes: Release Note: I recently realized what the hold up is. My current mental state is not compatible with the planned ending. If I wrote the ending according to what currently feels right, it will be a wretched, cruel ending that feels monstrously unfair and invalidates the work of the various characters... because that's how my life feels at the moment. The planned ending is coming out hollow and awkward, no matter how I write it, and so I've been bashing my head. I will finish it, once I manage to either brute force something decent out, or once my head gets screwed on straight. Audience: This story is not for young children - it contains some profanity, sexual content, violence, gore, and significant adult themes. Most of these are handled delicately enough not to upset teens or adults (hopefully), hence the lack of relevant tags, but it is nonetheless unsuitable for youth. It's fairly slow paced, and focused on the development of very human, very flawed individuals. Length / Completion Estimates: The outline currently involves two books. Book 1 is expected to be done with Chapter 43. It'll probably be completely finished by sometime in March of this year. I expect to move on to the far-more-lighthearted Of Gods and Dungeons (currently in progress / on hiatus). Afterwards, I may decide to redo Book 1, or write Book 2, or actually start sharing the story most dear to me, that I've been working on for several years now. Draft 1: Please be aware that this is first draft material. I do intend to come back to do a second draft after the story is complete. If anyone notices any issues whatsoever with the story, please let me know (pm, etc) so that I can improve the second draft. Writer's Pledge: I've taken the Writer's Pledge, meaning I'm commiting to completing this story. I'm a proud member of WriTE, a group dedicated to finishing stories. It will be done! Behind the Scenes notes: This picture was commissioned from an inked artist by the name of DanP. Up until the time of the protagonist's arrival, history has proceeded as before. Some places and characters have been borrowed from wikipedia entries of interesting figures from the time. I will make note in the chapter comments when such things come up. Naturally, I've taken a great deal of liberty with them. In interest of respecting individuals, I've either attempted to portray them as accurately as possible, or modified them sufficiently enough that they're simply an inspiration, instead of a real portrayal. I've attempted to be as accurate to the era as possible, but I'm not a historian. If you're aware of inaccuracies, please, bring them to my attention so that I can correct them.

Seeker
The Gods are dead As they bled dry, so did the magic which gave them birth. In the new era of technology, its pathetic remnants must hide in the shadows or be locked away. In the ancient era of magic two beings often stood out: Galileo, an immortal scholar obsessed with knowledge and Angelica, the most loyal servant of the greatest among the now dead Gods. But why are they worthy of mention? Because after millennia of isolation, the two emerge in the new world beyond their reckoning. The entire story is told from the third person, however, each chapter will be told from the perspective of only one of the characters. This will be signified by the first letter of their names after the chapter number to avoid confusion. I submitted this fiction as a [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] as well as a participant in National Novel Writing Month. The original challenge had been to finish this entire faction within the month of November reaching the 55.5k word minimum. This goal had been achieved. I do not own the cover picture

Magus Gravity
This is about a person who is summoned to a world to be a hero and save the human race from the demons, clich stuff, he will then make decisions that affect all of those around him(I think this is original). Also, he will not get all the """"females"""" out there in the other world and make a big harem that symbolizes how woman are treated as objects. Remember that this story is something I would like to read, and frankly most of the royal road stories are too damn lusty and filled with porn. But there will be some romance here and there since people get married and I need to talk about that too, so that is classed as romance right?
