《Kidnapped by the Alpha》Chapter 23: Headache
Advertisement
Isabelle started to avoid Jared after that realization on her being in love with Jared. She couldn't get it, he was just so arrogant and cocky sometimes, plus she barely knew him! How could she love him already?
Isabelle flopped down on the bed, groaning as she continued to dwell over this. She gathered a pillow to herself and hugged it, bringing her knees up to her chest in the process. She had only discovered this feeling yesterday and what does she get because of it? You guessed it, a major headache.
Damn these headaches, why is it that when she gets one, they seem to affect her terribly? Damn you Jared for making me feel this way. Why do you have to be... you? She sighed and slowly sat up on the bed, maybe a shower would help.
She strode over to the bathroom and quickly undressed and climbed in. She started to think of everything. Shut up mind! she yelled at herself. Isabelle washed her hair and shaved her body before jumping out of the shower. Isabelle looked at herself in the mirror, looking at her dark hair that came from the water. It wasn't so bad. Grabbing a blow dryer, she started to blow dry her hair dry and then took a brush and brushed through it, taiming it.
Isabelle got dressed and walked out of the bathroom and decided to head down to the kitchen to see what there was to eat. She couldn't avoid Jared forever, she knew she was going to have to face him sooner or later, she just hoped that it would be the latter.
She walked into the kitchen and smelt chocolate, she smiled but it dropped when she realized that Jared was in there also. Isabelle frowned and went over to the fridge, forgetting about the chocolate because she wasn't in the mood to talk to him.

"Hey," Jared said to her with her back to him. She turned around at his voice and glared at him, keeping the act up. There was no way that she was going to reveal to him what was going on in her mind right now, no freaking way. "Why are you avoiding me? I know you think that I haven't noticed, but I have and I want to know the reason why."
Isabelle shook her head, denying it, "I have no idea what you're talking about. I haven't been avoiding you."
"Yes you have, and I'm going to get to the bottom of it for why that is." Jared turned to walk out of the kitchen but stopped and turned back to her, "oh, and I'm going to take you out on our date tonight that I had promised to do at eight, so you better be ready by then. Abby will know what to do." He then proceeded to walk out of the kitchen and off to who knows where.
Isabelle just stared after him in shock. A date? Tonight! What was she supposed to do, to say? She had never been on one before. Will she make a total screw up of herself? What if- what if she somehow revealed to him that she loved him? That would be a total disaster!
She ran out of the kitchen as fast as a lightning bolt, and ran upstairs to her room, eating being forgotten. Isabelle ran into Jared's bedroom, but knew that she could call it her own now also because she wasn't going to get another place to sleep. She knew that, if she did, she probably would have been offered a different bedroom by now. But it's not like she denied sharing a room with him in the first place either, so some of it was her fault.

Isabelle leaned against the door behind her and let out a shaking breath, her heart beating a hundred miles a minute. To say she was nervous for this date was an understatement. To her, it felt like the whole world was exploding under her feet and she couldn't do anything about it.
Slowly, but steadily, she made it over her closet and opened the door to find no other than Abby.
Abby turned around upon hearing the door open and squealed when she saw Isabelle. She laughed herself across the room at her and hugged her tightly before pulling away. "Aren't you just excited to be going on this date tonight!" Abby jumped up and down happily, clapping her hands and said before Isabelle could say anything, "come on! Let's get you ready for this date!"
Abby then proceeded to drag her out of the closet and to a chair in front of a mirror before she started to attack her with hair and make up.
Oh God, please don't let this be a total disaster!

MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)

This is a story about a dragon clan that supposedly disappeared along with the Dragon Goddess Tiamat after the battle that put an end to the great universal and interdimensional war between the various superior beings. Which culminated in the destruction of 5 billion lights years of the universe, creating the great void sea, where there is only chaotic essence. Inside this sea where the concept of time and space was destroyed we can find, a small piece of land where we can see dragon clan that can live in this Great Void.
