《Release Me》Chapter 27

The men that came with him surrounds us and all of them had weapons.
"Come on Asher return what's mine."
"The Mona Lisa does not belong to you."
"It does not belong to you either."
"If you think we will give it you, then you completely lost it," Caleb says.
"I don't want to make this end with someone dying."
"The only one who potentially might die is you and I don't give a fuck," Asher yells.
"Fine I will make you a deal then, you can keep the painting but I want the girl back."
"I do not belong to you," I spit out.
"Do we have a deal?"
"Hell no!" Caleb yells.
"Take her," he says completely ignoring him.
The men start getting near but I am one step ahead. Right when someone tries to grab me I grab their wrists and twist them backwards. Once he yells in pain I push him towards the ground. Another person comes behind me but I block the punch and knee them in the stomach.
Caleb has two men on him who was trying to get the painting . I hit one of them in the back and send them flying down. He tries to grab my ankles but I use the sole of my small heel to kick his face. Blood starts to flow and he covers it with his face. Then I kick him the stomach to make sure he stays down.
Caleb already took down the other guy and Asher and Walker were still fighting. Me being behind Walker hit him the head making him turn around for a split second but by that time Asher punches him.
He tumbles to the ground and we take the chance to run away. We had no choice but to go through the ballroom so we walk in and made our way out. People look at me with weird expressions and tries to talk to Caleb and Asher.

Before we could get out a gun shot rings and Asher pushes me away from the bullet. We both tumble to the floor and when I get up I see that the bullet went through the table vase that right next to me.
Everyone starts panicking and screaming making it hard to get out quickly. More gunshots fill the air and Asher pulls me towards a table. He pulls it up so we could hid our body against it. He takes out a gun and starts shooting back, Caleb is leaning against another table next to us shooting as well.
I peek out a notice a gun laying on the floor a few feet away. I crawl towards it and my hands wrap around the cool glass metal. As I was crawling back I feel something touch my temple. Looking up I notice a guy holding a gun towards me. Quickly I hit his legs with the end of my gun and he tumbles down. I spring up and shot him the leg and his yells alerting someone else who charges at me.
I shot him the legs and kick him in the stomach. More people try to grab me and someone knocks me onto the floor. The gun tumbles out of my hand and the guy grabs it and points it at me. I close my eyes and I hear the gun firing but I never felt the impact. Opening my eyes I see the guy dead in front of me.
Raph appears and he extends his hand helping me up.
"You aren't pretty bad," He says.
"Again don't underestimate me. I am not your everyday girl."
"That for sure."
"Yeah yeah she's a badass now if you two are done I would really like some help over here!!" Leo screams.

We run over to him and take out some guys. Raph takes down three guys while I take the two on Leo's back.
"Where the fucking hell are these people coming from?!" Leo yells.
"I don't know but we need to get out," I yell back.
"Where's Caleb and Asher?"Raph asks.
I look around in the chaos and spot them back and back fighting the men trying to get the painting. Raph and Leo take out some guys as I shot them.
"Whose men are these anyways? Walker never had this many," Leo says.
"I don't know but we need to get the fuck out of here," Asher says.
I take out the last guy near us and we run to the exit. The guys were ahead of me but before I could catch up someone tackles me to the ground. I try to get out of his grip but he held me tightly. I knee him and he finally lets me go. I spring up but quickly go back down when a bullet goes through my shoulder.
I let out a scream that echoes around the whole room and the boys finally look back realizing I was not following them.
I fall to the ground on my knee.
Blood was dripping all over my hand and arm as I hold my wound. My vision was starting to get blurry and my skin felt cold.
I look up and notice Asher was looking at me with his deep black eyes. He was up to something. Asher didn't look surprised when he saw Walker or even confused when people started attacking us. It was like he knew all this was going to happen.
Caleb tries to run towards me to help me but Asher stops him. Caleb looks at him with a confused expression and looks at me with watery eyes. He looks hurt and like he was physically in war with himself to help me.
I weakly smile at him and they turn around to leave as men surround me blocking my vision of them.

Viridescent Core
Some mortals see dungeons as a plague to destroy. Some mortals see dungeons as a resource to manage and harvest. Some mortals see dungeons as a place to train and advance. However, all of them agree on something. Dungeons are unnatural and deadly. Places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive. What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all. Feel free to write any comment, suggestion, or criticism. I read and appreciate every single one! Releases are on Mondays and Thursdays. With occasional bonus chapters on Saturdays. Have a nice day ^^

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K
