《Abducting Ruby》Chapter Nineteen.
Advertisement
Ruby sat against the cold wall in silence.
Once Master had returned them to their room, he left in a hurry, not even bothering to secure their chains to the walls.
Theo hadn't spoken since his hanging. He only sat there, a hand wrapped securely around his neck.
The bruising had already started. A thick line of blue circled his throat from where the rope had been so tight.
Ruby wasn't as concerned about him as she should have been though. She was angry with Olivia.
Olivia had just spoken about how they were all going to make it out alive. And then she just took her own life.
Ruby was honestly more jealous then angry. She wanted out of this hellhole, even if it meant dying.
She didn't fear death anymore. She prayed for it.
Ruby leaned her head against the wall, closing her eyes.
She was almost asleep when she heard quick footsteps from upstairs.
A few moments passed and then Master burst into the room, almost as if he were in a frenzy.
"She's gone! She's going to ruin everything!" He yelled, grabbing their chains and pulling them from the floor.
Ruby was baffled, "Who's gone?"
Master ignored her, as he attempted to wipe the fresh tears from his cheeks, "How could she do this? They're going to take my collection!"
Master paced back and forth in the small room, "We can run. We have to run!"
"Run from what?" Theo yelled, frustration growing in his tone.
Master yanked their chains, pulling them out the door. He rushed them upstairs, and through the theater halls.
Ruby, recognizing their surroundings, realizing that they were nearing the entrance of the theater.
He couldn't possibly be leaving the theater, could he? But then Ruby spotted the large entrance and realized Master was running straight towards it.

The sunlight hit her before she could even comprehend what was happening. It burned her skin, and she threw her hands up to block her eyes.
In the distance, sirens sounded. This only seemed to make Master run faster.
Was the sirens for them?
Master ran for his vehicle, which strangely enough was parked directly in front of the theater.
Theo and Ruby struggled to keep up with the pull of the chains.
The first police car whipped into the abandoned parking lot, slamming his vehicle into park. Seconds later, he had his gun out pointing it at Master, who was still running.
More police cars arrived within seconds, following the same procedure.
"Henry Walker! Put your hands up and step away from those children!"
Ruby looked bewildered when she heard Masters real name. And then relief took over when she realized that this was it. They were being rescued.
Master seemed to panic, glancing at his small collection and then back at his vehicle.
Ruby felt the tug of the chain one last time, but before Master could move, she heard the buzzing of a taser go off.
Master fell to the ground, his body locking up.
Police quickly surrounded them, checking for injuries and Ruby even heard one of them call for an ambulance.
And just like that, this nightmare that she had been put through for weeks was finally over.

Duality
“Listen closely for this is our oldest tale… In the beginning there was peace and knowledge throughout our land… The creatures of old roamed these lands… Evil had yet to spread through our land… A rift in the very fabric of reality formed… The land burned and melted as the creatures stepped through… As the most advanced civilization… We took the mantle to combat… By the time we were able to gather half the world had already been lain bare… The war covered the once peaceful land in death and destruction… During this time humanity's greatest light arose…” Monologued the old man, red in the face from passionately spewing his praises of a past he had no part of. Written by two authors, this novel covers the tale of a pair of protagonists in a wuxia world. Oh, and maybe an isekai or two. Our goal with this project is to make an engaging and entertaining story, while making a good attempt at a somewhat realistic wuxia setting. We’re aware of the oxymoron…

Anchor Points: Age of Heroes
If you had a chance to reset history, knowing what we know now, would you take it? Six years after kicking an alien expeditionary force off the surface of the Earth back to their staging bases in the asteroid belt, and aided by stolen alien technology, the United Terran Republic Navy has finally achieved enough warship production to put the enemy on the run. Despite the facade of unity projected by the Earth's new federal government, deep cracks still lie under the surface that threaten the stability of world peace and the ability to protect humanity with a unified military response. Within this backdrop, the North American Union, now a mere state in the greater union, has created or reopened multiple off-books projects and black sites to house secrets both old and new that would be far too toxic or dangerous to be known to the wider world at such a delicate stage in world history. One of these secrets will draw Captain Henry O'Toole from his comfortable posting with the Jupiter Fleet straight into a world of conspiracies and secrets that could destroy the new, still fragile world order. Captain O'Toole will take command of mankind's first true starship with a secret mission that would be seen as treason by the new federal government. His orders are to use a prototype faster than light drive to travel through dimensions higher than spacetime and ride the expansion of the universe to create an off-books colony solely for the NAU. There are consequences for escaping time's jealous grasp, which instead position them to have a chance to change the course of human history. Fate has called the Indomitable Will and her crew into the Age of Heroes, will they be able to rise to the challenge?

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons
