The Mental Link- Part 3

Jakoeb slammed his finger on the mouse. The power went up.
"Jake, stop!" Yppah tackled him to the ground, his hands pinning Jakeob’s throat. Lightning flashed in his eyes. "You are insane, aren’t you?"
"Too..." Jakeob struggled to breathe. "...late."
Kia went silent. Yppah raised his head, turning towards his cousin. "Kia?"
"I’m free." She whispered.
An explosion of purple light sends Yppah to the ground. He pulled out his sword, charging it with his lighting. He jumped up towards a shadow in the smoke, grabbed its neck, and positioned his sword...
"Yppah! What are you doing, it’s me!"
The shadow cleared. Kia pulled the sword from his hand and put him in an arm lock.
"Yppah, I’m fine." She dropped his sword and pulled him up. She looked into his eyes. "Don’t think with your sword like that."
Jakeob stood up and ran over to Kia. "Ki, are you ok?"
"I just said I’m fine." She snapped. "Let me go."
Yppah’s eyes trailed to Kia's feet.
A silver x.
"Get away from him!" Yppah jumped onto Jakeob, tackling him to the ground again.
"Him?" Jakeob’s eyes widened. "Are you talking to me or to her?"
"There is no her." Yppah nodded his head to the mark at Kia's feet. "There is only Luke."
Kia tilted her head. "Jake? Something wrong?"
"Get off me," Jakeob pushed Yppah aside and runs to the canister. His breath came out in a gasp.
Kia was crumpled on the floor of the canister, coughing and spitting out black gunk.
"Jake." She croaked. "Jake, help..."
"Yppah! Hold Luke off!" Jakeob yelled over his shoulder. Then to Kia, his eyes softened as he opened her canister and ran to her. "It’s ok, it’s ok... stay calm, Kia."
"Luke? Jakeob, what happened?" Kia’s eyes flashed in worry. Her coughs shook her body. The black gunk flew from her mouth.
Jakeob wiped the leftover gunk from her chin with his thumb, taking her face in his hands. "Nothing you need to worry about. You’re free."
"Am I really?" She said quietly.
"Yes." Jakeob smiled. "Yes, yes you are."
Her eyes closed as she smiled, slumping in his arms.
Jakeob smiled, forgetting momentarily about her father fighting her cousin outside. With the real Kia in his arms, everything would be alright.

Lady in the Mirror chapter 2

“Humour.” Ella tilts her head. She found and brought a chair the second time we meet, and I’m using the swivel  chair from Typical Dad Base 7. “Explain.” “It’s a concept.” I lean back and grin. “It’s like… Gods, I can’t explain it. It’s taking something and making it funny. Play on words. Those are called puns.” “Define ‘funny’.” “Humorous.” I lean forward, pushing my elbows on my knees. She gives me an innocent look that looks like 'And?’ “Humourous means ‘with humour.’.” “So its all going full circle?” “You could say that, yeah.” I shrug. She clapped her hands together. “Tell me a joke.” “Ok.” I lean back again. “Past, present and future walk into a bar. It was tense.” She blinks a few times like she did during my first joke. Then her eyes sparkle. She smiles. And laughs. I smile. I’ve always been a joker, but that was one of my lesser jokes. Ella really is special. Then it hits me. Carah. I’m still in a relationship with Carah. My face goes slack. ...

A.N. (Author's Note) n2

Ok. I know my latest one was recent, but hear me out. So first things first- I just got a laptop, so I'll definitely be more active. Personally, I think I write better curled up in bed and on a keyboard than on my desktop or my tablet. Secondly, I'm thinking of starting an RP blog. Not a great idea, but I'm working on it. Maybe it'd be just straight fantasy centred. Ok... story updates! The Mental Link Part 4 is just out ! Really excited. Now to wait 5 months before writing the next part! 😝 Interrogation See first A.N. (scroll down for the link) The First Trio See above The Lady in the Mirror Ok, so part 3 is still... in the works. I've been having big problems lately with author's block, sadly. Don't expect much. SNEAK PEEK- Stories coming out soon? The Guild Series Forget it. Inter-Dimensional Heroes I'm still trying to wrangle the co-creators. Fifteen No, not a story about teen angst. I'll see if I have the courage to post i...

The First Trio- How Marrena joined the Mythicals (Part 2)

After a long two kilometres of walking, Zinah started to complain. "Why can’t I just air- or earth-bend myself there?" "The wind would send the trail flying," Saryn said simply. "And the earth thing would mess it up too." "But how far can this thing walk while shot and after a fight?" Zinah asked again, only to be shushed by Saryn. The trail entered a cave. Firelight came out of it, casting deep, scary shadows out in the snow. "Are you sure we should go in?" Zinah asked, scared. "We’ll be fine." Saryn pulled out an arrow and nocked it into her bow. Zinah gulped but slunk forward with her bodyguard. Saryn fired the arrow. A scream filled the cavern. "That was... not that monstrous," Saryn said, tilting her head. "Maybe..." She was cut off by a tan blur jumping on her and knocking her down. Zinah let out a scream, but Saryn stayed calm, pulling out her sword and slicing her enemy. The thing slowed, ...
