《Stranded》Chapter 14: Erasing Tally marks.

Becca's P.O.V
I open my eyes. I sigh. We are still stuck on this goddamn island. For the first few days, I couldn't believe it was happening, so I was joking around.
I tried to convince myself that people were coming to find us. So I tried to focus on staying alive. My mom and dad gave me permission to go on trip, after all. I tried so many ways to forget about what's really going on. We have been here for almost two weeks.
I know I am acting so unaware, but who knew time went by so fast, soon the term will end, so will my junior year and then my senior year and then people will eventually give up. Then one day in the future, people will find our bones and put them in a museum! My life was wrecked, because of this stupid trip! I was doomed to stay here on this island, safe and healthy while others worried about me. What right did we have to have fun? Wait did I just say that out loud?
"Calm down, babe. We are not gonna be piles of bones, we'll be already decomposed by the time people find us. " I heard a sleepy voice, confirming my fears. His arm tightens around me. I roll away and face him.
"Well, sorry for being aware of what's going on right now!" I snapped, a hurt expression replaces the sleepy expression on his face. He sighs.
I wrap my arms around his neck and sigh, as well.
"I am sorry, I am just so scared." I said, taking his hand in mine, squeezing it.
He pulls back into his arms and says " Babe, I know you are, I am too. But I think we are here for a reason. Maybe it was our fate or shit."

I would have swooned at his words, but I cringed as he said shit. " I love it when you say things like that, but . . . you always seem to ruin it." I muttered, under my breath. He smirks. Great, he heard me!
"I knew that deep down in your antisocial, gorgeous heart that you like me talking." He declared. I rolled my eyes.
"You wish." I reply, wishing that I had a better, wittier response.
I sit up. He sits up. I don't know why, but it annoys me. I lay back down. He lays back down. I pretend to sit up and he falls for it!
"Yes!" I said, laughing. He leans in closer and kisses me. I could get used to this. Wait! Wake UP! Noah is a player, he's no good.
I stiffen. "Look, I know you think that I'm a player and whatever, but how many girls have you heard saying they slept with me?" he says, suddenly.
"Jessica Brown, Jennifer smith, Madison Jones, The list goes on." I replied.
"I only slept with my girlfriend, who was Madison Jones. Also Zoey Williams, Lucy Miller and Hannah Lopez. Others, never." He said, casually as if he was asked this many times.
"Um, I didn't ask." I said, raising my eyebrow. He grins widely.
"I just wanted you to know." He answers.
I roll my eyes. He writes down something down onto his notebook. My eyes nearly pop out. Noah Jackson is using a pencil and he is writing!
"Hey, what are you writing?" I demanded, making a grab for the paper.
"Babe, don't overreact. I am recording how many times you roll your eyes a day." He teases. I grab the notebook.
I gasped.
"Do I roll my eyes that much?" I wail, I knew I had a habit of rolling my eyes, but this was IMPOSSIBLE. He laughs.

"No, that's how much we argue." He says.
"No way." I protest.
"Yes way." He replies, adding a another tally mark.
"Hey! What are you doing? We are not arguing right, now!" I exclaimed.
"Yes, we are. Now you just started another one." He explained, adding another tally mark.
"Is this your way of saying, Let's not fight, baby?" I implied, crossing my arms around my chest.
"First of all, yes. Second, I always say babe." He informs me, kissing me on my nose.
"Whatever." I sigh.
"Hey, I thought after yesterday, you'd jump into my arms and we wouldn't argue so much." He points out.
"It's just. . . I never had a relationship, before." I confessed, shyly. He holds my hand and pulls me closer to him.
"Neither do I." He replies.
"You did!" I exclaimed.
"Not with girl that I feel the way, I do when you're around." He said, his eyes shining with hope.
How could I say no to that lovely face? We stay like that all night, wrapped around each other, talking in whispers.

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES]She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that.----------------------------------------------------#No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021#No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021#No.8 in murder 2/8/2021Updates weekly!

Love Of Baybur [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
The Sultanate won a huge battle against their enemies of different religion, and now left them with only a piece of land surrounded by Sultanate's forces. Baybur, a yerliyya from a backwater place, is hailed as a hero after the war for his past contributions in a strange manner and is, thus, invited to a banquet prepared by the Sultan and attended by many Great Nobles. To Baybur, who had dreams of stepping on a higher stage in Sultanate's politics, and in his Orta's ranks, this is a chance for him to shine and rise. Yet he, and many in the banquet, knows that victory is far from over. And this presents a chance, with greater risk than before, to impress the Sultan and the Pashas of the Sultanate. Sanjak-beys and Aghas of the Janissary Corps all seek to devour their enemies, both in and out of the Sultanate. And Baybur, in the midst of this brewing storm, is no different from a fish dreaming to be a dragon. But a woman he meets at the banquet changes everything; his goals, his dreams, and his fate. After all, love, without expression, is a deadly curse. As a note, Cover is not mine obviosuly, and I write this both for NaNoWriMo and Writathon. To some history lovers and nerds who specialize in it, I know you might be angered quite a deal with some things I've written.(I get the feeling when someone talks wrong foolish things in a study I know, no hate) But this is a historical fiction written by a seventeen-year-old, don't expect much from me to know every single detail. Much of my research is surface level and some things are, well, to fit plot, are changed. So bear that in mind. For schedule/chapter thingt, there will be at most five chapters until I pass the 55.555 words mark. Each chapter will be around or above 10k+ words. It is also not edited, and probably won't be unless I find a great deal of time in my hands after November to see what I lack in where. That's all. Now go read, or leap to another fiction. Enjoy!
