《Meeting the Gangleader》Chapter 20

*Karlys P.O.V*
I walk out of Brittanys hospital room, and I get dizzy and tears fill my eyes.
Leaning against the wall, I slowly slide down, until I'm sitting on the floor.
I pull my knees up to my chest and start sobbing, ignoring all of the weird looks I'm getting.
How can she not remember? What did she ever do to deserve this?
"I can't believe this is happening," I mumble to myself.
I choke back my tears and take deep breaths in and out, trying to calm myself down.
I get up off of the floor and make my way over to the nearest doctor.
I need to find out what's going on.
"Doctor! Please! I don't know what to do! My sister, sh-she doesn't remember anything! She didn't even know who I was at first but then she remember and I don't know what to do! Is she ok? Will she get her memory back? Is she gonna die?" I question quickly.
"No, she will not die. What room is she is? What's her name?"
I point to her room, my hands shaking.
"Her name is Brittany. Brittany Jane Brown." I say quietly.
At least she isn't going to die. I mean, you never know...
The doctor nods his head before he flips through papers he has on a clipboard.
"Aha, it says here that she was in a coma for a week, and she has a slight case of amnesia. She should remember everything soon. Your sister is a lucky girl, most people would have had a lot worse injuries."
Lucky? Lucky? He thinks she's lucky? No. She does't deserve this.
I nod my head, and hold myself back from yelling at him.
At least she will remember eventually.
"Wait, why didn't you tell us before?" I inquire.

"We wanted to wait to see if she actually would have a slight case. There was a chance that she would have been just fine, and we didn't want to worry you." He says, with an apologetic smile.
"Thank you so much, doctor." I say, turning and walking away towards the waiting room.
When I get to the waiting room, Adam hurriedly comes up to me and grabs my arm.
"Is she ok? Can I see her? When will I get to see her? I really really need to talk to her! I miss her a lot!" He says anxiously.
I can't blame him...
I mean, right as he left the meeting with Angelo I called him because Brittany got hit.
"Uhm... About that... You can't see her yet... She kinda has a slight case of... Amnesia... So she doesn't remember you..." I mumble, looking at the floor.
His hand drops from my arm and he stumbles back.
He looks like his heart was just shattered in to a million pieces.
He sits in a chair, and and his eyes glisten with unshed tears.
He looks broken.
He put his head in his hands and I see his body slightly shake.
Is he crying?
I slowly walk over to him and pat his back, awkwardly.
"The doctor said she will get her memories back soon, but she just doesn't know who you are right now..." I mumble, trying to cheer him up.
He looked up at me slowly.
"I don't care what I have to do. I will make my baby girl remember me. And there is one thing I know for certain." He says, and his eyes have a dangerous look in them.
"And what's that Adam?" I respond.
Over the week Brittany has been in her coma me and Adam have gotten a lot closer.
He pretty much looks at me as his little sister, and I look at him as a big brother.
I'm still not 100% comfortable around him.
"I know that whatever I have to do, I have to keep you and Brittany safe, and I'm going to take down the Black Roses, even if it's the last thing I do."

Sturmblitz Kunst: Becoming a Dissident for Martial Arts
"I don't care what you read in some old, dusty tome. You can spend decades chasing an outmoded cultivation method that'll probably lead to a faux-breakthrough trap from the Emperor that turns you into a walking impurity tumor, or you can give me a couple months and I'll teach you how to punch through someone's head." - Zelsys "Sevenfold Storm-conqueror" Newman, Founder of the Newman Family The world at large has just begun its recovery from the nigh-apocalyptic War of Fog. Catastrophic environmental damage and gaping power vacuums stir the cogs of history into motion in the absence of open war, eternally greased by the blood and sweat of ambition. A small duchy in the North of the country now stands at the precipice of upheaval as the burgeoning powers of the new era clash within its borders... Meanwhile, as the survivor of a now-extinct cultivator family struggles for survival in a world that cares not about his social status, the very embodiment of his escapist coping mechanisms forces him to pursue the fantasies of self-determination he had never dared act upon.

The Tower Must Fall - Combat Gardener
If you're interested in a conceptual, ground-up rewrite leave a comment and tell me what you loved about it. I've got a pretty good idea of what everyone hated so there's no need for expounding on that. Gardener? A support class? This can't be! What was all my hard work for? Forget this world. Forget the System. Even if I'm a lowly support class, I'll take on the Tower and take them all down! Since the System appeared one hundred years ago, humanity has been divided into three: combat classes, intellectual classes, and support classes. Assigned at the moment of high school graduation, one's class determines their future. Rowan wanted the most out of life. A combat class, an intellectual class, either would be fine. When he is instead assigned a support class, Gardener, he notices the System is completely rigged against support classes. Refusing to give up on his dream of realizing his future by his own terms, Rowan challenges the Tower, the seat of the System and home of the Hero-King, in hopes of bringing the entire System to its knees. Season One complete. Permanent Hiatus, Pending Rewrite. Important notes: -LitRPG fantasy -Rowan is not perfect. He's got flaws, emotions, and personal issues to work through. If you want a perfect, overpowered MC who makes the right decision every time, this is NOT the work for you. -This story opens with a negative situation and an emotional growth arc for the main character. Please don't review until chapter 30 because the arc is not complete until that chapter. (Chapters are short, that's an average RR book's chapter 10) -No harem, no rape, no isekai, no romance -Questions? Please ask!

Whispers of Long Lost Voices

The Aesir took her peace, they took her parents, and then they took her wife. Three years after her wife’s murder, she’s found a new life light years away from Earth. A happy one, most days, with a best friend and captain who understands her, and a shared mission to undo some of the damage the Aesir have done to the Universe and offer relief to anyone who needs it. But the past has a way of rising again. A surprise rescue mission brings Brenn face to face with her wife; delirious, ill, and scarred from the bullets Brenn thought had killed her, but very much alive with a newborn at her breast. A newborn whose very existence could mean intergalactic war. Now Brenn must balance her wife’s delicate mental health, new motherhood, and her own complicated feelings while working with her Captain and their odd bunch of friends and allies to protect her tiny family from a small, but influential group within the Aesir government who will stop at nothing to take back Brenn’s wife and child. All the while, there are whispers of a greater and more ancient power coming to life. A power Brenn’s wife knows more about than she wants to let on. It’s a good thing Brenn is used to fighting. CW: Contains mildly graphic scenes of violence/death, topics of unwanted pregnancy/abortion, scientific experimentation on sapient beings, depression/suicide, grief, and trauma. The tone of this fiction is often dark and distinctly dystopian in lighter shades of Margaret Atwood, though where there is darkness there is always hope and light. On Hiatus Until September When the School Year Begins and Mom This story takes a considerable amount of time and mental energy to complete. I thought I had enough backlog and time to post it as a serial while COVID kept my child home from school, but it turns out while I can quickly write other pieces, I cannot produce the quality I need with this one at an acceptable rate. We'll resume in September when my days are much freer. Thank you for your patience and stay tuned for a different storytelling romp more suited for a serial platform in the meantime.
