《Meeting the Gangleader》Chapter 15

*Adams P.O.V*
As I walk down the hall leading Karly to her room, I huff in annoyance.
Ughh, what would have happened if Karly didn't come in?
I start getting images in my head and I quickly try and concentrate on something else.
After I finally see the room that Karly will be staying in I open the door for her.
She gives me a huge smile.
"Thanks!" She say cheerfully.
"You're welcome."I say with a small nod, and turn to walk away but Karly puts her hand on my shoulder.
"No, thank you for finally being Britt's hero. She really needs someone like you in her life." I smile and nod, and quickly walk away, back towards my room.
I open the door and slip inside when I finally notice that Brittany is asleep with one of my shirts on.
Damn, she looks hot with my clothes on.
She looks so peaceful and happy.
I can't believe someone would abuse someone as perfect as her.
I shut the door quietly, and turn the lights off.
I walk over to the bed, taking small steps, and remove my shirt and pants, leaving me in my boxers.
What? I can't sleep comfortably with that much clothes on...
I gently get in bed and pull Brittany over to me, wrapping my arm around her waist, and closing my eyes, finally being able to relax.
•••••••••••••
(Next day)
*Brittany's P.O.V*
I wake up to an alarm going off, but I try to ignore it because I'm extremely comfortable and warm.
Since when is my bed this comfy and my blankets this warm?
I slowly open one eye, and when I see another person I jump back, accidentally falling off of the bed.
I groan as I hit my butt on the cold floor.
Where am I?
Suddenly all of last nights events come rushing back to me and I feel hot, salty tears start running down my face.
I try to wipe them away but that only makes me start sobbing.
I'm at Adams.
My mom beat me.
Again.
I lean against the bed, pulling my knees up to my chest and laying my head on them.
I hear someone say something but I don't know what.
Suddenly I'm being lifted off of the floor and on to the bed.
I don't look up, knowing that my eyes are red and puffy and my face is tear streaked.
I'm pulled in to Adams chest, and I put my arms around his neck, hiding my face in his neck.
It sucks that I'm crying because if I wasn't I would definitely appreciate him being shirtless.

He gently pulls the blankets over us, still holding me.
"shhhh, baby girl, it's ok. You're safe now. I won't let them hu-"
Suddenly Adam is interrupted, and a tall blonde haired boy comes barging in to the room.
"Boss! Michael is here. He says he's not leaving without talking to you!" As he talks I look him up and down, no longer crying.
He's really attractive, with gorgeous blueish gray eyes, blonde hair that is kinda long, and a slight dimple that you can see when he speaks.
"What the fuck do you mean Michael's here? It's fuckin' 10:30! I can't deal with him right now! She needs to settle down, and I can't leave her.. Jaylin, deal with him. Tell 'em I'm not home." He looks over at me like he doesn't want me hearing what they're talking about.
"I'm honestly ok..." I mumble trying to hide my face still, knowing it's red.
Adam's head snaps over to me, and he looks taken aback.
"Ok? Ok. You're ok? Baby girl, you're far from ok. You need rest. I can't leave you." He says.
"I'll just take a shower while you're in your meeting or whatever. I'll be ok." I say.
Adam looks hesitant but stands up after a while.
"Tell him I'll be in my office in a minute."Adam commands.
Jaylin nods and exits the room, quietly closing the door behind him.
Adam looks over at me, "Will you be ok by yourself for a little babe? I need to take care of some... Uh... Business..." He says, not saying what the business is, even though I have a suspicion.
I nod my head slowly, and lay back in the bed getting comfortable.
He grabs clothes and before he puts them on, I rake my eyes over his body.
Taking in all of him.
From the way his back tenses as he leans over to pick a shirt, to the way his muscles look, to the way he has abs that I just want to-
No.
Don't think like that.
I scoot down in the bed and pull the blanket over my head, not wanting to get caught staring at him.
Or wanting anymore of the images I was starting to get.
I close my eyes and I'm just about to fall back to sleep when Adam gently pulls the blanket down, fully dressed.
Aw, what a bummer.
"I won't be that long. I'll be in my office so if you need anything Jaylin or Chase will get it for you. I have one of my other members taking Karly to the mall to get somethings so don't worry about her. We need to talk about your parents later, though." He says.

I nod my head, then roll over effectively ending the conversation.
I hear him sigh and put the blanket back over my head.
I close my eyes, and hear the door open and close, Adam no longer in the room with me.
Wait, who's Michael? Isn't that who Adam said he was gonna talk to? Ugh.
I shake my head again, and roll over trying to get warm again.
Ever since Adam left, I've been freezing.
I sigh, and throw the blankets off of me.
I grumble some inappropriate words under my breath as I walk over to his dresser and grab another one of his shirts.
After he left to show Karly her room last night, I put one of his shirts on and fell asleep.
I like the way they feel against my skin.
After I find a shirt, I walk in to his adjoining bathroom, and turn the water on.
Making sure the waters scorching hot, I shed my clothing and step under the water.
I feel my tense muscles relax immediately.
Suddenly my eyes fill with tears, and no matter how hard I try I can't hold them back.
After a little while of trying to hold back the tears, I finally release them.
I cry over everything that has happened in my life.
Everything wrong with it.
Everything wrong with me.
I don't know how long I'm in the shower for, but after a while my tears run out.
When I stop crying I look around the shower for some shampoo and conditioner and body wash.
I find Adam's, and with no other choice, I end up using his.
Hope he doesn't mind.
When I'm almost done washing my body, I hear someone enter the room.
"Brittany baby?" I hear Adam call.
"I'm almost done!" I yell back.
When I finish, I turn the shower off and get out.
I feel a lot more refreshed than before.
I dry myself off and quickly get dressed.
I walk back out and see Adam laying on the bed, so I decide to go lay next to him.
I lay a good distance away from him, but as soon as I lay down he pulls me to him.
His chest is flush against my back, and I'm extremely comfortable.
"I have a meeting with Michael next friday. I think it would be best if you stayed off school next week. Get used to being here, and it would give you time to adjust to the situation with your parents." He says.
"Ok, that's ok I guess. Can you ask Alice or Rebecca to get my homework for me?" I say.
What? I still need to keep my grades up. I care about my grades.
Of course, he agrees.
The next week goes by quickly.
I stay in Adam's bed most of the next week, only leaving to shower and eat.
I get to know Adam a lot better and we talk about a lot of different things.
Friday comes quickly.
The next thing I know, an alarm is blaring on Friday waking me and Adam up.
"I have to go to my meeting, baby. I'll be back soon." He mumbles.
I groan and roll over snuggling back in to the blankets.
He kisses my head and then leaves the room.
Suddenly I hear the door open again and I smile knowing I'll soon be warm again soon.
That was really fast, he was barely gone a minute.
Out of no where, the blanket is ripped off of me.
"What the fu- You're not Adam." I say.
The guy smirks slightly, and I take in his features.
He looks Hispanic.
He has tattoos running up his left arm, he's pretty muscular, he's probably around 6 foot, brown short hair, a lip ring, and gorgeous green eyes.
I can't help but to noticce how hot he is, even though Adam is hotter.
Finally after I'm done checking him out I realize he's been talking this whole time.
"Huh? Who are you?" I question.
He just frowns and picks me up, throwing me over his shoulder.
This can't be good.
I squirm against him, and suddenly he lets me down, and just as I'm about to dance in victory, he slaps me.
He isn't as hot as I thought he was.
I fall to the floor, starting to see stars, and taste a metallic taste in my mouth.
He picks me up again, and this time I don't struggle because I don't wanna be hit again.
He walks over to the door, and calmly looks out of it, seeing it's clear, and walking out.
He quickly walks down the hall, and down the stairs, when finally someone sees him.
"Hey, who the fuck are you?" Says someone.
I think it was that Jaylin guy.
The guy just grunts and runs towards the door, making it out, but somehow I manage to hit my head off of the door frame, and I black out.
Oh god, am I being kidnapped?
---------------
Hey guys.
This chapter is edited and fixed.
She was kidnapped.
Oopsies...
I'm happy to say that has made the awesome new cover!

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
8 301Artifex
In a world where art has power and power is everything, Thando Nkhosi is an MMA fighter trying to stand out and be somebody. At least, as much as one can among 23 billion other people. Life is generally good under the [High King]. That is, until he and his friends are catapulted into the upper echelons of the Inner Planet Federation by being granted a power that may be a bit too much for them to handle, and given a task that seems impossible. Trying my hand at a hopefully unique LitRPG system. No stats or number crunching though. Kinda scifi, kinda fantasy but scifi elements only really become plot relevant after the first arc. Won't be doom and gloom but will get really dark at times. Updates twice a week at minimum (2-3k words), sometimes more when school decides to let me out of the pillory lol. Inspired by a writing prompt on reddit and WarHammer 40k orks.

8 138Of Sheep & Sisters (Tales of the Axe Book 2)
The indominatable Fraker the Axe returns! This time in the company of his older sister, this collection of short stories set in the fantasy Six Worlds of Shtar is a tongue in cheek look at what a great hero gets up to in between the times of legends and when prophecy isn't really telling him what to do. From a kitten and a rosebush, to a civil war, Fraker stumbles from one "adventure" to the next, never quite comfortable with the world outside the battlefield he was bred for. (This work is currently unfinished and will updated infrequently)
