And it did.
Sitting here watching the news with Krew I listen as they talked about my father. But one word stuck out to me as soon as the reporter said it.
"DEATH PENALTY you got to be fucking kidding me first it was life now they trying to change his sentence to death they can't do that shit".I said pacing back and forth.
"Aye calm down we can fight this". Krew said stopping me in my tracks.
"You acting like he didn't just say death penalty we were looking at the same tv right". I ask looking up at him as he held my face.
"I got some of my people looking into your pops case he gone be good I promise". He said and I shook my head.
"What if you can't help him I want to see him". I said breaking down and he pulling me into his chest rubbing my back.
"Go get your stuff I'm about to take you up there to see him". He said and I nod going to get my phone and keys.
"You ready". He asked and I nod following him out the door making sure it was locked before getting in the car.
He pulled into the parking lot and we got out walking inside.
They checked us and everything taking us inside where the tables were. We sat down and waited till they brought them in.
After a few minutes I see men starting to walk in going to their families and my dad was the last one. I smiled looking at him as he looked around confused fidgeting. I see an female officer walking up to him and he jumped blocking his face. She gave him a smile pointing to me and he looked over running up to me pulling me into a hug.

"I go home I go home with baby Sariah". He said rubbing my back with his head on my chest and I couldn't help but start crying.
"Soon daddy and we'll have all your favorite food and do equations together". I said holding him tightly.
"Y'all let's sit down". Krew said and I nod agreeing with him.
Trying to pull away from the hug he wouldn't let me go.
"You can sit by me daddy". I said taking a seat and he sat beside me laying his head on my shoulder as he held tightly onto my arm.
"Let me look at you". I say picking his head up and I sat there in shock it was bruises everywhere some were old and some were fresh.
"Who did this to you". I ask calmly trying not to let my emotions get the best of me.
He pointed to an officer standing by the restrooms and it was the same one who roughly handled him in court that day. I knew Krew would get my dad out and take care of him if I were to go to jail.
Standing up from the table Krew grabbed my wrist.
"Where you going baby". He asked and if it was any other time I would have blushed but I'm on a mission.
"To the restroom I'll be right back". I said and he let my hand go.
Walking over to the bathroom I acted like I was about to walk in before swinging hitting him dead in the mouth and I kept swinging.
"OH SHIT SHE BOXING HIS ASS UP". I heard an inmate yell before more talking followed.
"Yo what the hell Sariah". Krew said picking me up.
"PUT YOUR HANDS ON MY FATHER AGAIN BITCH AND IT'LL BE THE WORST MISTAKE YOU MAKE IN YOUR LIFE". I yelled breathing heavily as he checked him nose for blood and it was indeed bleeding.

"I'm gonna have to ask you to leave for the rest of the visit you'll be able to come back next week". The female officer said as Krew put me down.
"You not gone arrest her". The officer asked the lady and she shook her head.
"Keep your hands to yourself I always knew one of their family members was gone get you it just so happened to be her". She said before walking away.
"Let's go can't take your ass nowhere". He said walking me over to my dad.
He got up and gave me a hug and I didn't want to let go.
"I'll make sure he's in his own cell and doesn't have any roommates I'll also get him so math books and a little tv". The female officer said to me as she came to take him to the back.
"Thank you so much I really appreciate it". I said looking over at her.
"It's no problem he doesn't deserve to be here and everybody can see that". She said as she grabbed his hand.
"Watch over him for me". I said and she nodded walking away with him.
I sigh watching them disappear to the back before turning to leave.
"I swear you gone end up in jail if you don't quit fighting people". Krew said as we walked out of the building.
"If people would stop fucking with my dad I wouldn't have to fight". I said shrugging getting in the car.
He just shook his head and continued driving.
I really need to get him out of there...

The Edge of Endless
Due to some unforseen and significant life events, this story will be on hiatus for a time. Reborn into a strange but familiar world, Alex makes it his mission to uncover the mysteries of governments, gods, and the arcane realm known only (and inaccurately) as the Unending Depths. Slowly but surely, he grows in ability and meets new and interesting people. tEoE is an epic fantasy LitRPG with a focus on plot, writing, and hopefully original twists on the standard formula of 'MC picks cool class, levels up'. Give it a read if any of the following appeals to you: > 3000-5000 words per chapter, chapters released at least once per week, usually several times. Expect good grammar. > Story focus on illusions, secrets, and traps (along with the usual combat and character stuff). > Progression fantasy, but one where progress is meant to feel earned, moderately paced, and reasonable. Some advantages, but not big, unfair ones. > If a random reader can work out that putting a big rock in a bag of holding, lifting it, and then dropping the rock is free energy, then so could an adventurer who's owned a bag of holding for twenty years. Side characters have brains too. > Blue boxes! Levels! [Classes]! [Skills]! Loot! > No uncomfortable sexist undertones. Ambivalent about including relationships. Definitely no harems. There are a number of arcs planned and this will be ongoing for some time. I am very appreciative of the kind reviews and comments left so far.

Fateful
Edgar Vogel was a 30 year old underemployed veteran who dropped out of college. His life was comfortable but all ambition was lost. His plans, born of depression and anxiety, were to simply live out his life of mediocrity and enjoy what little he could. That all changed, all it takes is something small to change fate, in his case ice. Reborn into a primitive but fantastical world, full of magic and monsters, he may make something of himself. Oh and there's a massive war against werewolf hordes on the mainland. Edgar, now Jon, has a second chance at life. His previous life was reduced to fragments of technical knowledge that come to him in the form of visions. His new home, the Northern Isles, is far removed from the conflict of the mainland for now as he lives in the quiet frontier village of Terra. His new family believes that fate can be changed and destiny overruled but he has no idea. Whether that's true or not, being told by a crazy old lady that his fate starts with him sitting by a rock in the middle of a field seems wrong, but who knows? Maybe she's right but what's the bit about 'await the bite' supposed to mean? Jon soon learns and his life changes forever. What can a young boy who's gained wolven-blood do? Will he be a monster or will he find salvation? Jon was bitten. ********************************************************************************** Welcome to the Northern Isles. My first story posted on here! I already have the outline of the first couple of books planned out and will be posting a new chapter every Tuesday and Friday. The story will be dark at times but I intend to keep things fairly light when I can. I'm aiming for a world that isn't full of sunshine and rainbows but isn't as bleak as it could be. Focusing on friendship, camaraderie, sh*t talking, and adventure.

But as much as he tries to hide his annoying habits of counting literally everything, entering a class without touching the floor right in front of the first desk, tapping light button's to the beat of "we will rock you" and any other small tic, his fellow students know, and they use it to bully him endlessly. Neo just wants it all to end, but right when he worked up the guts to put his actions where his mouth is, Calo show's up to save the day, and maybe his week. And who knows, maybe even his life.

The Doormat Villainess – Adrianne
A villainess is a character who has always been diametrically opposed to the heroine of a romance drama. What makes a person a good villainess? The fact that she's unabashedly beautiful and charismatic, yet also rotten inside? The fact that she's incredibly loathsome, greedy, and selfish? That she's reasonably strong enough to be a hurdle, yet ultimately powerless in the face of a determined heroine? That despite all these character flaws, a Villainess's greatest virtue is unwilling to give up until the last of their breath, in pursuit of her personal desire? If those are the hallmark of a successful Villainess. Then, I might be the wrong person to play that role. Also on Scribblehub (Profile)
