Chapter 29, Promises
Well this just got more difficult, didn't it?
I arrived home and took a nice shower, I had my hair in a messy bun.
I wore a tank top and shorts, I laid in bed watching Netflix original, OuterBanks.
I got a message and looked at it, it was my characters backstory and everything I needed to know.
It was a lot.
Maeve Jackson is a fourteen year old girl, people knew her as the violent person.
She always had her brother's back since nobody had hers, not even her parents.
Maeve is only kind to those she knows personally like Rue, Lexi, Kat and Maddy.
Especially Maddy.
Maeve was never known for doing drugs or being shared around and that's how she liked it.
She kept it that way for her whole life, not wanting people to see her different or treat her different.
Everything was going well until she met Fezco, she didn't expect herself to grow attach to the young man.
Not romantically but she found herself safe whenever she was near him.
But when she met Ashtray, everything changed.
Her feelings for him?
Now they were romantic but she never told anyone, not even Maddy.
I gasped, I had no idea I was going to be playing Ashtrays love interest.
But I'm not complaining, I'll take it.
Garrett knocked on my door before coming in with a smile on his face, he showed me his phone which revealed the message of his character.
He left my room when Valentino called.
I decided to go spend time with my twins, I walked into their room and smiled.
They were wide awake and hungry.
I picked up Mila and began to feed her while telling her all about my day, even the Lola part.
She doesn't understand but when she's older she will, we were going to have a bond that way.

I laid her back into her crib after burping her, I picked up Milo and repeated the process except I told him a different story about how I wanted my day to go.
I burped him and laid him back down in his crib.
I went to my room and decided to do something with my day, I changed into some tights, a KISS shirt and high tops.
I grabbed my ice skates and phone and left my room, walking downstairs and leaving the house.
I passed the Waltons on the way their when I heard my name being called, I turned around and saw Daelo.
He ran over to me, I placed my skates down and hugged him tightly, lifting him from the ground.
He laughed a bit, I smiled and set him down, grabbing my ice skates.
"What's up Mumps?"
I asked as I grabbed his hand and walked to his house with him.
"Where were you going?"
He completely ignored my question, I discarded it and answered his.
"I was going to a ice rink."
"Sounds fun, can I join you?"
I couldn't say yes since he wasn't mine so I walked to the kitchen where his mom was.
She embraced me and kissed my temple.
"Hey Mrs Walton, can I take Mumps to the ice rink with me?"
I asked politely, to my surprise she says yes.
Daelo smiles and drags me upstairs, we walk to his room and I watch him grab his own ice skates.
They were green and small, it reminded me of when I went skating for the first time with my parents.
Soon the door opened and in came Jaden, I hugged him to which he squealed.
I laughed at his chaotic energy and invited him to come ice skating, he accepted and left to his room to grab his ice skates and change clothes.

I went downstairs with Daelo, we walked to the living room and sat down.
I heard laughter and watched as Lola and Javon come downstairs, they were holding hands and as much as I hate to admit it, I was jealous once more.
But covered it up when Daelo started a conversation with me, I think he was trying to distract me since he watched as I looked over again.
Jaden came downstairs, I didn't bother asking Javon.
As we were walking, I was silent.
My mind was filled with Lola and Javon and jealousy.
"Nat?"
I was pulled out of my thoughts and I looked at Jaden, we arrived to the rink and he was standing in front of me.
I was so out of it that I didn't realize we had already arrived.
"What's on your mind Natalie?"
He asked as walked inside of the rink, I replaced my sneakers with my skates and looked at him.
I sighed, I knew I was going to feel embarrassed but I wasn't about to blurt it out either.
"I have feelings for a certain someone and everything is just going haywire."
I admitted, it was half of the truth.
Jaden would get the other half once I got his input on what I should do.
But instead he went quiet, I saw gears in his head trying to work.
It was like he was trying to figure out who it was and what to say before anything.
"It's Javon isn't it?"
I looked at him shocked, I truly didn't believe he was going to get any of that.
I thought he was going to choose himself but he didn't.
"Yeah, it is and Lola came along and I just feel like everything's going wrong."
I said, finally giving him the whole truth since he figured out the whole problem.
He smiled at me and rested his hand on my shoulder.
"Just relax, he likes you."
Jaden said, he probably felt like he fixed the whole thing and he almost did.
But it didn't mean I was going to stop feeling jealous immediately.
"I'm playing his love interest in Euphoria."
"And you feel like it's going to complicate things?"
Jaden finished my sentence for me, he was right as well.
I didn't want anything to interfere with our friendship but I wanted to know if it would spark anything.
"Maybe it'll spark the thing you want it to spark, all I know is that my twin likes you, I Promise."
Jaden sounded like he was real smart right now, I didn't think I'd see the day to actually experience either but I did.
It was the best day as well, my nerves were calm and everything.
"Yeah, I guess."
Before Jaden could say anything, we both got a notification.
We looked and it was from Instagram.

Well this just got more difficult, didn't it?
I said as I turned my phone off, she's pretty but he didn't need that caption if I'm honest.
Jaden rolled his eyes and scoffed, he pulled me up and we skated around before he pulled his phone out.
I didn't have a clue on what he was doing until I heard a notification come from my phone.
I checked it and noticed it was from Instagram.

Whisper of madness
Thanks to an oath, Mana had been forced to become a living cage of the god Miazanoapte. But his sudden awakening after fifty years has ruined the plans of the gods who are now forced to think of a new alternative. Because Mana was pure voratomores, his body was ideal for the god Miazanoapte to steal. That’s why many of the gods decide to kill him immediately, certain that Miazanoapte will never find a living voratomores to steal his body. The first to doubt the decision is the god who found him and delayed his death for a month until the new sorcerers’ competition where Mana had to show what he was capable of. But because a problem will never come on its own, his lack of memories and weaknesses from birth would prevent him from having an easy path. Placed with other human children, some of them natural-born talents, Mana must learn to overcome his disadvantages to earn the right to live.

After the End: Serenity
We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course. At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory. Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone? Yes. In a heartbeat. Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time. When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life. Serenity. ------------------------------------------ While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges. The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has. Of course, that's only his second priority. ------------------------------------------- Updates Daily A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way. The content warnings are mostly to give me room to write; this fiction is not intended to be edgy, but once in a while a character will swear or someone will get seriously injured. The cover image is a Chandra/Hubble composite image of VV 340 / Arp 302 / UGC 9618. While we're not going to space itself any time soon in the story, people from elsewhere are coming to Earth and Serenity will visit other planets. Plus, I like space imagery.
