"Y/N, oh my god, where were you. Why did you not take the phone, I tried to check where you were but it told me your house. I was worried sick, and Chan wasn't happy that I went back to the house without you."
"No, I know. I'm so sorry Lix. I didn't know that I didn't take it. I got until we were about to come home and I tried to text you but I couldn't find it. I was safe though, Mark took me to his and it got too late so I stayed over. I'm fine though, nothing happened to me. You can tell Chan that if he's worrying so much." You explained.
"You can actually tell me yourself." You heard his voice, it was not how it usually was. This time he sounded stressed, tired and most of all angry.
"Come to the house as soon as you can, you're explaining everything."
You were terrified to have to talk to him face to face. You knew that the tone of his voice was nothing compared to his emotions and actions.
You decided to quickly shower and change before you headed to the gang house, wasting as little time as you could.
After close to five minutes, you had headed out of your house and were mentally preparing for the worst.
The short drive to the house gave you little time to think everything through, and before long you found yourself at the doorstep raising your hand to knock.
As you began moving your hand, the door swung wide open with a concerned looking Felix standing there.
"Be careful, he's extremely stressed right now, I've only ever seen him like this once, and that situation didn't end well." He warned you as he led you to where Chan was.

As he stopped outside of one of the rooms he motioned for you to go in and that he would stay fairly close outside, just incase something happened.
You lightly knocked on the doors, waiting for a response.
"It's open." Was all he said. Voice cold leaving no room for joking.
You slowly opened the doors, peering in before opening it fully.
As you stepped inside, you had never felt so intimidated by anyone, until now.
He stood in front of one of the windows behind his desk, arms crossed across his broad chest.
"Where were you?" He asked as he turned around, making full eye contact with you.
"I was with Mark, it's fine, he didn't do anything." You said quietly.
"Why didn't you call Felix. He couldn't track you or get in contact with you in any way. You know, I should have guessed it of you. Pretending that you were fine with us, then at your first chance of leaving, you're gone like a flash."
"No it wasn't like that, I didn't mean to leave the phone behind, I only knew that I didn't have it when I went to text Felix about ten minutes before we were leaving. I swear."
"Why didn't you go back to your house, Felix had been waiting there for hours for you, eventually he called me thinking that something was wrong since you wouldn't answer. Everyone in this house was worried sick about you, we all thought Mark did something." He grew even more furious as the seconds passed.
"Mark asked me if I wanted a drink since it was early when we left the restaurant, he took me to his and we just talked until it became really late, which both of us didn't plan. He offered that I stay the night and I had to say yes, I had no other way of getting home."

At your last few words, he immediately stood up and walked over to you, grabbing your wrist and dragging you up.
"I swear do not let yourself become that vulnerable around him, I know what he's capable of, especially when you're asleep and have no awareness of your surroundings. Did he try to do anything to you, touch you, get too close to you." He asked, looking down at you, concern written all over his face.
"No the most that happened was us sleeping in the same bed, nothing else happened." You admitted, not wanting to make matters worse, just leaving out the seemingly unnecessary parts.
He quickly span around, slamming his fist onto his table.
"He could have done anything to you, a careless mistake like that could get you killed, him of all people are the ones to not get involved with, I don't want you to go near him anymore."
He started to step closer to you, in reaction you stepped backwards trying to avoid him from being able to harm you, a doubt from Felix's words engraved into your mind to be weary of.
"Chan, you're scaring me." You truthfully said, attempting to get him to stop walking.
You intently watched him, noting all of his expressions and moves. The second you stated your discomfort, his facial expressions softened.
"Y/N, you know I wouldn't hurt you, I just care for you too much that I didn't want a simple mistake to harm you or even kill you." He took a final step closer to you, cupping your cheek with his hand. You liked the feeling, he made you feel safe, like nothing bad could happen to you.
Before anything else could have happened, you quickly regained your posture and stood up straight.
"I should get going now, I need to work on some shooting, I haven't practised it for a while now."
"Alright, well if you need me, I'll be in here." He replied.
You left his office and then headed down to the training rooms, starting your aiming straight away.

The False Paladin
Divine Paladins, a title given to those who were blessed with the Lord's Favor, are the pillars of the kingdom of Calorin. However, a kingdom cannot simply be built from ideals of honor and duty. Sir Roel, the 58th Divine Paladin, knows that he's no hero. His sword is fake, his actual powers are middling, and his thoughts grow more cynical with every passing day. Upon receiving his next task, an order to assassinate a member of royalty, he wonders if the only thing he can do is bow his head and obey. Set in a medieval-era world in which brute strength is often subordinate to the schemes and machinations of the ruling class, this is a low fantasy story about a hero who struggles not only against monsters but also the idea that he's supposed to be the one fighting them. This fiction updates once to twice a week and each chapter is a minimum of 1000 words.
8 237Journey of 365 Days (((Kind of Completed)))
365 days, 365 scenes.Battles among supreme beings.Poems about losing love.Dragons showing mercy.Kids stumbling upon magic. This journey involves my answering of 365 creative writing prompts in a desperate bid to overcome my laziness.The prompts come from https://thinkwritten.com/365-creative-writing-prompts/ and I used to write one a day, but since I've been making progress with overcoming my laziness I'm spending much more time working on my Works in Progress (real novels). THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW: I've gotten over the majority of my laziness. I'm unlikely to update this much. It's pretty much complete. The novel I'm working on is Dark Seas Leading Demise
8 55The Noble's Undead

8 209Molting the Mortal Coil
Reincarnated as a child in a new world a mild mannered programmer, named Sage, finds himself struggling to survive. The road to immortality is paved with danger, treasure, and conflict. This mystical eastern world is filled with Demonic Beasts, Treacherous Cultivators, and Extraordinary Legacies. Follow Sage on his journey to adapt to this new world, and find out if he can overcome the limitations of body, mind, and soul. Will he rise to the occasion and become a hero? Or maybe he'll turn to the dark side and end up a villain? Molting the Mortal Coil is more of a slower paced journey. It's not about endless battles and conquering the next bad guy who spits on the main characters shoes or sends him a funny look. There's also not a treadmill of tournaments or love interests. It's more of a slower burn with lots of, and hopefully not too much, world building. It's still supposed to be stuffed with action, but that won't pick up for a while since we start with a weakling. The first 30 chapters have a lot of time-skipping, but stay with me it gets better. I plan to re-write and add more to the first 30 in the future, but if you can push through I feel it gets much more fun after! Updates will be weekly. If you want to see more chapters, check out my Patreon(button at the bottom of every chapter)! Thanks everyone!

Loot Sisters is a light-hearted flash fiction serial of 100-word episodes inspired by RPGs and hunting for quests. I don't have a set plan for where the story goes, as each week, I write my story around three random words posted weekly on The Prediction (an online flash fiction challenge group). I hope you enjoy the story! :) My characters include Maya (the narrator and a bit of a rogue-like character), Vera (our healer/mage), Felicia (resident navigator and lover of gadgets), and Rach (a fighter/brawler). Cover illustration is of Maya by Luminita Pham.
