Brea and Bella pulled alongside Jacob's house.....letting him fix Brea's bike.
"Bella.... I don't know about this," Brea sighed.
"It's fine! He's willing to help you out," Bella smiled.
They both climbed out of the truck, Brea walked towards the back of the truck to untie her bike.
"Brea! Bella!" Jacob called out.
Both girls turned to look, Jacob rushed up to Bella and pulled her in for a hug.
"Bout time you both came by!" Jacob smiled.
"I-I was wondering if you would help me with my bike," Brea said, looking down at her feet.
"You could've just called, I would have come over....inside of you both coming way out here," Jacob replied.
"B-Bella wanted to come over," Brea shrugged.
"B-Because I thought he could help...He's our mechanic friend," Brea smiled.
"Ah Yes! I am the mechanic friends," Jacob laughed.
Jacob jumped into the bed of the truck and started looking at the bike....
"This bike definitely needs some work, the parts alone will be pricey," Jacob sighed.
"I have a college fund I can dig into," Brea said.
"Charlie's gonna love that," Jacob laughed.
"Charlie won't know," Brea replied.
"Wow! Lying to Dad. Blowing through college money. Fixing up a dangerous machine, that you love driving," Jacob smirked.
"I understand if you think this is stupid...but you are my only hope into fixing the bike," Brea sighed.
"Oh it's totally stupid! When do we start?" Jacob asked.
Brea looked up at Jacob and smiled....which hasn't been seen in awhile, she turned and looked at Bella....who was smiling as well. Happy that her sister was finally back. Well almost.
Jacob and Brea jumped down from the truck, Jacob turned towards the truck and lifted down the bike....as if it was light as a feather.

Bella and Jacob walk towards the garage... Brea went to follow but stopped, feeling eyes on her. She searched her surroundings, seeing nothing...sadness filled her. Brea quickly turned on her heels and rushed into the garage.
*******************
Days had gone by since Jacob offered to help Brea with her bike...They both sat on the ground, placing the old parts to the side.
"Since we're going to be working on this for awhile, shouldn't we include some homework? I don't want Billy to think I'm a bad influence on you," Brea spoke up.
"You influence me? Oh please," Jacob laughed.
"I am older than you," Brea smiled.
"Age is just a number," Jacob said, turning to look at Brea.
"But I convinced you to help fix my death machine," Brea replied.
"You're right! You're like Satan!" Jacob smirked.
"Yo, Jake, you in there?!" A voice called out, causing Brea to jump.
"Brea, it's okay! It just my boys," Jacob said.
Two boys walked in....both had short hair unlike Jacob.
"Hey, Jake," One of the boys said.
Both boys turn and look at Brea.... A smile forming on their lips.
"Hey! This is Brea! Brea, that's Quil and Embry," Jacob replied.
"So the bike story is true," Quil said.
"I guess so," Brea smiled weakly.
"What about the part where you're his girlfriend?" Quil asked.
"WHAT? Oh no, we are just friends and always will be," Brea replied.
"Ouch! Burn!" Embry laughed.
"I said she's a girl and a friend," Jacob sighed.
Brea looked at Jacob and scrunched up her face.
"Embry, you remember him making that distinction?" Quil asked.
"Absolutely not!" Embry smirked.
"But do you guys have any girlfriends?" Brea asked, quickly saving Jacob.... forgetting what he had thought.

"Right. Quil here took his cousin to prom," Jacob laughed.
"Funny! Very funny, Black! You want to be funny? I'll give you funny," Quil smirked, rushing towards Jacob.
Suddenly Brea found herself between Jacob and Quil....she felt her skin burn. Quil looked at her and smirked.
"I should get going...I-I'll see you later Jacob," Brea said and quickly rushed out of the garage.
Brea took off running... she raced down the road, but stopped...pulling out her phone.
"Bella! Can you come pick me up? I don't feel good," Brea said, speaking into the phone.
"Brea? Are you okay? What happened?" Bella asked.
"Nothing happened, please come get me...I'm about a mile from Jacob's house," Brea replied.
"Oh okay! Yeah I'll be there shortly," Bella said, quickly hanging up.
Moments later... Brea heard the familiar roaring sound of her sister's truck. She smiled.
Bella's truck rounded the corner and stopped... Brea rushed towards the truck and climbed in.
"Brea, please talk to me!" Bella spoke up, after driving from where she picked up her sister.
Brea sighed.
"You'll think I'm crazy," Brea mumbled.
"Brea! We are living in a world full of vampires! How crazy could you be?" Bella asked.
"When I-I met you know who...I started hearing voices, well... more like I could read minds, just like him but even as a kid I would hear voices... along with having visions and the whole eye changing color thing. Today while working with Jacob, his friends had came over. All of a sudden I was between them and Jacob, my skin felt like it was burning and one of his friends said that I was like them, what could that mean?" Brea questioned, looking out the window.
Bella grew quiet....not knowing how to answer Brea.
Tears filled Brea's eyes.... Suddenly she started crying.
"W-What the hell am I?" Brea asked.

Ardent Tears
[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.] Youth is something to be treasured, for it is the foundation upon which all experiences are built. It is also a time when some may Awaken as Ardents or Stoics; individuals who can draw great power from the Resonance of emotions. Rowan’efrii is one such youth, but at what cost? This is the story of her journey; of love and loss, friendship and isolation, fortune and tragedy. What can a girl do when she is faced with all the wonders and horrors that the world has to offer? Live! In the Kingdom of Særis, a group of renegade lords are seeking to enslave young adolescents to forge them into Ardents and Stoics. Those that fall will be used in a war against the Azure King. Will they break Rowan, or will they turn her into the very thing that will destroy them. Ardent Tears focuses heavily on all kinds of relationships including: romantic, familial, platonic and sexual. The MC is a clear example of this, especially as she is poly. Because of this, I gave the story my own Poly Tag. This won't be anything like a Harem story and it is being written by someone who is polyamorous (me). There is also going to be several LGBT themes throughout which can't be represented through Tags. Ardent Tears is now on Top Web Fiction. If you like the story, I'd appreciate it if you give me a boost by following this link and pressing boost. Massive thanks to KrazeKode for the amazing cover art. And special thanks to MelasD and Selkie for the shout-outs.

The Lucky Secret

Not that any of this affected Cillian James, who was too busy keeping the lights on with webnovels he didn't want to write to really concern himself with some omniscient tower kidnapping people at random.That is, until Cillian is kidnapped himself, and now he has some very big problems on his hands. Namely, surviving the Tower and its homicidal salamanders and zombies and weirdly affectionate cats, and learning the truth behind the existence of the amulet titled "The Writer's Secret". Cilian isn't particularly athletic, given he spent six years glued to a computer chair, and the Tower can only give him so much strength before he's considered a lost cause, and he's not prepared in the slightest for this. He's a bit weak, he hates killing, and spends more time screaming than he does actually fighting, but if there's one thing he's got going for him, it's his impressive self-perseveration skills. But is surviving truly enough, if it changes you into someone you don't recognize? How much will he have to sacrifice before he can even call himself Cillian?
