《Abducting Ruby》Chapter Twenty.
Advertisement
Ruby was blinded for a quick moment as the doctor examined her eyes with a flashlight, "Everything seems normal, Ruby. How are you feeling?"
"I just want to go home." She said, with a yawn.
The doctor smiled at her, "Well I have some good news for you then... you're parents are right outside that door, waiting to see you."
Ruby jumped out of bed in excitement, but the doctor put a gentle hand on her shoulder, "Don't get too excited yet. There's also a officer here who would like to speak to you. With your parents consent of course."
She nodded her head to indicate she understood, even though she wasn't sure she wanted to talk about the past few weeks with her parents around. Ruby didn't want to subject them to knowing what their little girl had gone through.
But all that worry went away as her mother and father burst through the door, running straight for her.
They bundled her up in a hug, and kissed her head and cheeks.
Both of their eyes were red and puffy from crying, and seeing them like that only made Ruby want to cry.
So she did. She cried into her mother's arms until she could no longer catch her breath.
Her father rubbed her back gently, whispering his love to her and making sure she knew she was safe now.
But the moment ended too soon as there was a knock at the door and then an officer walked in.
The same officer who had first arrived at the scene. Who had screamed Master's real name.
Henry Walker.
Ruby pushed down the urge to vomit.
"Hello, Ruby. Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"
Ruby nodded her head once in agreement.
"How and where were you kidnapped?"

Ruby quickly explained how she had gone to the restroom and he had pushed her down and chloroformed her. She just wanted this to all be over.
The officer didn't show any emotion, "I see. And can you tell me how many people he had already kidnapped once you arrived?"
Ruby took a deep breath remembering her first day in the basement, "Two. Davina and Olivia. Then me. And then Theo."
"And Davina was the only death you witnessed?" The officer asked, taking notes.
Tears welled in Ruby's eyes, "No. I witnessed Olivia's death also."
The officer seemed confused at this, "Miss Towers, has no one informed you yet that Olivia isn't dead?"
"What?"
The officer set down his notebook, "Olivia Johnson survived."
The tears that welled in her eyes, poured down her cheek, "That's not possible. She stabbed herself in the neck. I saw her die!"
"Before being kidnapped, Olivia took a few classes in the medical field. She knew exactly where to stab herself and what would give her a bigger survival rate. She only cut through a connective tissue in her throat."
Ruby was baffled. That explained why she saw her fingers twitch. She wasn't dead, she was only faking it.
"Who did you think reported your kidnappings and lead us to you all?"
Ruby felt chills. So Olivia hadn't left her behind after all.
"What will happen to Master—I mean, Henry Walker?" Ruby asked, dying to know the answer.
"Master? Is that what he made you call him?" The officer asked, picking back up his notebook.
Ruby didn't answer, looking away in embarrassment. She hated that word. She hated calling him that even more.
The officer took a deep breath, deciding not to push her further on the question, "He'll go to trial, but with all the proof and witnesses that we have, I don't think he'll be going free anytime soon."

8 234I’m a crazy person who jumped in front of a truck to be reincarnated into another world -on purpose!
I am a mad person. Actually, calling me mad is not really correct. I’m just a tiny-inny bit crazy. Crazy enough to prepare myself for one whole year, train a multitude of skills, learn and comprehend knowledge enough to last a couple of people through all their lives and all of that just and exclusively… for me to jump in front of a truck and hope that I would be reincarnated into another world! This is the kind of person that I am. And that was what enabled me to become an existence beyond the realm of the ordinary!

Ludwig Lock wakes up in a hospital bed to find a weeping woman at his side. After some crying, more weaping and confusion, Ludwig discovers that that lady was his ten year old sister, and that he's been in a coma for fifteen years. He also learns that the world he had grown to know was no more since heroes, villains, and super powers inhabit the streets, being regarded as a lot of things withing an endless spectrum. Just when he was about to finally get started with his new life, Ludwig faced a streak of bad luck, the last event of this chain setting him up to die so a vigilante can save himself. After suffering the worst beating of his life and experimenting the incompetence of the law, Ludwig decides to use his own hands to achieve justice. He will face difficult challenges, traumatic situations, and probably horrible stuff to get his life rolling. But at least he's got a friend to help him. Not a normal one though. ---- IMPORTANT: I personally identify powers as a fantastical element, which is why I don't find weird the addition of other elements of the same vein if it stays within the logic of the world. New and old chapters get updated with relative frequency, (new chapter every week, though it may be delayed a day or more to problems or some other reason) and the story is in a draft-like state, meaning it will probably stay the same but there will be changes on the prose or writing. Also, I would apreciate if it is known to me (Respectfully) which points should I improve on.
8 113Dust and Glory
A century after World War III left the planet a nuclear wasteland, earth is nearly unrecognizable. Alien ‘Benefactors’ have taken control of North America’s most populous cities and built indomitable walls around them, defending their inhabitants but trapping them under a totalitarian rule. Outside these citadels, chaos reigns, led by the mutants of the wasteland; cultists, raiders, and canibal clans. Glory, a rogue android, is roaming the wastes after escaping her sadistic “father”. Alone and reeling from the effects of a previously sheltered life, her only ray of hope is Reza City, built upon the ruins of what used to be Phoenix, Arizona. True, the Benefactors have a strict ban on self-aware artificial intelligence in place, but that should only prove an issue if they realize she’s an AI. The real problem is what lurks outside the city: over a million square miles of harsh, unyielding desert. And slinking between the dunes and the fissures are the mutants, looking for an easy victim.

Its a very well defined formula: the world goes through ridiculous shift where the laws of physics go belly up while everyone gets a videogame status. the hero adapts to the system,
