《Sway(Wattys 2015)》Pit stop
Advertisement
We had been in the car for about 2 hrs, all signs of life had disappeared only to be replaced with never ending fields and countryside.I had no idea where we were or where we were going the only thing that was on my mind was why am I being dragged along, and the fact that I was STARVING didn't really help.
"Are we there yet" I asked
"Yeah" Ivan replied , I quickly sat up to see where were.
"Are we actually?"
"No, I was joking" he seemed to find that hilarious and so did Colt and Nicole.
"Very funny, are we at least close ?"
"No, but there's a shop that we pass through to get there, we can stop there and freshen up" I sighed and rested my head against the window.
After about 30 minutes we pulled up to a shop, we all got out of the car.My legs felt like jelly due to the long journey.I rubbed my eyes and stretched.I don't know what Ivan was talking about, there wasn't just a shop there were other buildings ,it looked like one of those abandoned towns from the horror movies.
Me and Nicole waited by the car whilst the boys checked the place out.
"So you and Colt are getting pretty serious right?"
"I dunno" she replied
"Do you want it to be?"
"I guess"
"Be careful alright,i don't want to see you get hurt" she nodded her head.
"I need the toilet" I agreed with her, we were told not to move but I was desperate. We went to the shop across the road.I began walking and Nicole slowly followed, she must of been scared because she grabbed my jumper. It wasn't a shop it was a small bar ,just like the rest of the place it looked like something out of a movie.

"Excuse me , do you have a restroom in here , me and my friend need to use it, we won't be long"
There was about 13 men in here, they all looked like serial killers, dirty skin, grubby clothes,old. Nicole's grip got tighter around my arm as one of the men got up and walked towards us.
"Well hello there pretty lady's" he smiled , I noticed something strange about him. He handed us a key and pointed towards the hall.
There was only one toilet,Nicole was too scared too stay outside on her own so she came in with me ,but she had to close her eyes. We both washed our hands and left the tiny room.
I handed over the keys to the same man that gave them to me, he grabbed my hand before I could pull away. I looked over to Nicole who was standing by the door, I signalled for her to go and she did just that.
"Sorry sir, I have to go"i pulled away thankfully he let go. As soon as I got close enough to the door ,I ran out Nicole was outside waiting for me.
"You ok" I nodded my head.We went back to the car and waited for the boys to come back.Eventually they did and have is the clear that we weren't being tracked.
"You want some food ,there's a cafe over there" Colt asked, we both nodded our head in response.
The cafe was small, it didn't have very much on the menu so I just ordered a chicken salad sandwich.When all our food came we all sat at the table and ate. Nicole and Colt were too busy so I was left with Ivan.
"Can I ask you a question?" I asked after I swallowed my mouthful of food.He stopped eating his sandwich and looked at me.

"You know you're a vampire and vampires drink blood right , so what I can't work out is why you're eating food" he wiped his mouth then took a sip from his drink.
"It's more of a disguise then anything, it helps us blend in.Eating food won't cure our thirst we need blood to survive, but we enjoy the taste, we can eat as much as we want and it won't effect our body "
"So what happens to it?"
"What? Do you mean, do we piss and shit?" His bluntness caused me to choke on my drink.
"Yes, we do" he adds
Since Ivan was being so talkative, I decided to take advantage on the situation.
"Why are we here?"
"Cyrus was attacked by the alpha, he needs help or he's going to die, so we have to see the witch to get potion" I had a hard time believing him, vampires existing is hard enough to believe let alone werewolves and witches.
"What you think vampires are the only supernatural beings to exist"
"When you're caught up in your own little world ,you don't think things like that" I replied
"It's better that way" he shrugged
"Do you sleep?"
"No , I can but it's a waste of time , I only do it if I'm bored"
"Are all vampires the same?"
"What's with all the questions"
"Just curious"
"No,the oldest vampires are the strongest , besides that there all pretty much the same"
"What about you?"
"What about me?"
"What makes you so special?"
"Aww you think I'm special" I feel embarrassed , my heart quickens and my cheeks heat up.
"You're very shy "
"No I'm not " I snap
"You can deny it all you want, but the speed in which your heart beats, tells a different story" he teased
"It's not my fault , it's yours" I immediately regret saying that ,a smirk is spread across his face.
"Now I'm intrigued, I'm very flattered that I'm the reason why you're always so flustered and uncomfortable, now all I need to do is find out is why, it's my turn to ask the questions"
"Will you two go and buy some supplies from the shop" Ivan said whilst handing Colt and Nicole some money.I stood up wanting to go with them, but Ivan wasn't having none of it , I slowly sat back down.
"Question 1.........

Tur Briste
A Druid cultivation novel. Borrows concepts from Wuxia and Xianxia but using Druid myth and lore. More on this at the bottom. Crow is son of Maddox, a Druid with an ancient bloodline and a people with a story spanning toward the beginning of time. Cursed, unfated, and a heap of bad luck have brought him only pain and suffering, but nothing will stop him. Nothing can stop him. A son of Maddox doesn’t bow his head. A son of Maddox understands that only a man with roots, with something to lose, will fight until the last drop of blood leaves his body. The Draoidh were once a proud people. They were both respected and hated for their form of righteousness. Power wasn’t something they gained through the might of their arms, but through intelligence. Their fall was all the more disheartening for the weaker cultivators. The tens of thousands of years that followed… chaos reigned. They forced Draoidh until most fled to the lower realms, nearly wiped out and exhausted. They went into hiding and became known as the Druids of the Oak. The Druid Order wasn’t the powerhouse it had been, and only nine of the major clans survived the calamity. Their bloodline weakened, as well as their prestige. Even the remaining clans fought amongst each other. Already on the decline and near extinguished, the Maddox clan can only struggle for survival, but their foundation wasn’t a joke. Weakened, but not weak. The other clans will understand this difference soon enough. Tur Briste, the Shattered Tower, awaits Crow’s ascension. Reaching the upper realms is only the first step in reestablishing the Draoidh. The Druids of the Oak remembered every betrayal and grievance, and they’ll return to power and reclaim what once belonged to them. The upper realms may have forgotten, but the Druid Order has not. Please Note:1) This is harem story. There are only a few chapters with sex, and it’s not a focus of the story. I’ll only add graphic sex if I feel the story needs it, so not gratuitously. Either way, Crow has several women. This is in line with Druid/Celtic history, and harems/reverse harems were an accepted part of their culture. Further, they had open marriages, meaning the man or woman could end their marriage at any time. While it was still a patriarchy, women had almost equal power. They were a very progressive culture. 2) There is a period of a 30-50 chapters where Crow loses the ability to cultivate like a Druid so he adopts an eastern body cultivation method for a while. This is temporary, but some people feel it’s misleading, so I am pointing it out ahead of time. I promise, the Druid stuff comes back, and 90% of the lore/myths/creatures/gods are all related to Druid/Celt/Irish/Scottish history. 3) I use many original names, most of which are in Gaelic or Irish. In the story, I refer to this language as Ancient. I enjoy all kinds of folklore and myths, so I encourage you to google those original names as they arrive. I give some background on them at the end of the chapter in my author’s note. 4) I use Ogham runes a lot, these are like the Druid alphabet, and they based each rune on a sacred tree so they also have symbolism associated with them. Again, feel free to google that too. It’s pretty neat stuff. Quick Translations:Draoidh = DruidTur Briste = Shattered Tower or Broken Tower Release Schedule:As of Oct 1, 2021- 3 chapters released every Sunday (May have up to two bonus chapters)- Side character chapters… this might be bonus chapters I release through the week. So they won’t count toward the 3 chapters on Sunday.- Please understand I work full time, have two kids, and can’t spare as much time as I’d like toward my writing. Maybe in the future I can switch to doing this full time, but for now 3 chapters is a comfortable pace for me. Lastly… I very much appreciate all my readers and thank you for allowing me to entertain you!
