[ V ] Chapter 5
"Why?" Alice whined into the phone a week or two later.
I sighed and sipped on some animal blood I procured from my last hunting trip. "Alice, I'm not too fond of huge parties. I've already sent my gift for Isabella. It should arrive tomorrow"
"Where are you though?" Alice pipes up, deciding to drop the subject. For now. Through the phone, I heard her shuffling through her large collection of fancy dresses.
"Italy."
Silence on the other line. Oh crap. "What?!" She screeched and I held the phone an arm-length away. "Italy?! Don't tell me that the Volturi got to you!"
Suddenly, I just had the sudden urge to smash the pixie's face into the concrete. "No, Alice. I'm like a city away from Volterra. Besides. I'm a big girl. I can take care of myself if one of those arrogant ruffians decide to take me on. Do you not trust me?"
Alice started to whimper. "I trust you. It's just that, The Volturi are. . . well. . . oh, I got to go. Hunting trip." With a click, Alice's voice disappeared. Downing the rest of the animal blood, I decided to take a shower.
Stepping out of the shower, I wrapped myself in a bath robe and went to my phone. A text from Rose. Ooh, I haven't heard from her in a while. Flipping the device open, I read the text.

Subject: Irritation
Ugh, so not looking forward to this birthday party for the human. What color should I wear?
-Rose.
I snorted. It was so like Rose to complain about almost everything.

Maybe something dark? It'll bring out the highlights of your hair.

God I hate it when you're right. It just doesn't sit well with me.

-Vienna.
Shutting the phone off, I tossed it onto the bed before collapsing down onto the bed beside it. Sometimes, I regret being a vampire. For one, I never get to sample any food anymore because my body would just reject it entirely and throw it up immediately. Secondly, it's because I miss sleeping. It was the only way for me to escape the world.

Homecoming | A Chronicles of Ascension Story
When Jethen was captured by slavers, his childhood was torn from him and left shattered half a world away. When he finds himself back home decades later, by methods he does not fully understand, he finds that the life he has lived has changed him far more than he knew. In a home he no longer knows. Places and people at the same time familiar and foreign, he must decide - stay and help with his parent's business, or return to the land that remade him and the family he made there. --------- Homecoming started as just a short story to break an episode of writers block. It has since morphed well beyond that into a novel in it's own right, and may well end up with a sequel. The writing of Homecoming became a bit of a self induced challenge to improve my initial, first brush, writing quality. Each chapter was written raw, given a once over read and edit, and then posted. In this way I am forcing myself to write better from the start. I do hope you enjoy the story and will leave a comment or review, and if you see an issue, feel free to let me know as well. I know it is not nearly perfect, and it will get a full and proper edit once I am done. Never hurts to fix things along the way though. As an additional note. The story has undergone a structural rework and has been reposted in an updated structure and sequence of chapters. If you have read this story already, I invite you to do so again in this new structure.

RED
Valley City. Up until around twenty years ago, it had been a nowhere place. Just a bunch of towns with no real reputation. Now, though, it's known for its progression in medical science. The Medical Technologies Company. It seemed to suddenly appear out of nowhere in the middle of what's now called City Center. Once just a manufacturer and developer of medical equipment, it eventually started to dabble in medical research. Before anyone even knew it, they were the leading research entities, with five seperate buildings in Valley City alone, all towering above everything else in the area. Some say they even swayed the local government into combining the old towns into one city and popularized prosthetic limbs as fashion themselves, but that's just gossip. Matthew Vega. A 25-year-old college dropout, tricked by MediTech into being experimented on under the pretense of participating in a clinical trial for rent money. After being broken out of their facility nearly a year after having her limbs replaced, then having her liberator captured, she seeks a way to dismantle the company or save the one she cares about. NOTE: Currently I am working on a rewrite. I will post a new chapter once that is ready, listed as V2CH-001. I hope you look forward to it.

King Eden
Two hundred years have passed and the Earth belongs to the corrupt. Society is reduced to clandestine tribes of survivors who indulge in warfare, battling one another over desolate wastelands. They are the Ancients, and Eden is their Lord. Legends cannot capture her skill as a warrior, but these stories of her ruthless past secure her title as King. A centuries-old war ravages her homeland. The tribes must unite against a force that outweighs the unnatural resilience of Earth's survivors. Mars: a utopia of refugees who outlasted the apocalypse. They spent the nuclear winter pushing the boundaries of military technology, sacrificing their resources to satisfy their greed. Now the Martian Colonies are unsustainable. Their Minister vows to reclaim the Earth for his people's sake--and he will stop at nothing to bring King Eden's reign to an end. When the Martians capture her heir to the throne, King abandons her homeland to regain the one thing that makes her human. This faces King with a savage choice: surrender to Mars in exchange for her son and the enslavement of her people, or challenge the Minister's army of metal titans and nightmarish experiments. Failure is inevitable, victory promises sacrifice. But King is no stranger to an impossible fight. After all, she is the Lord of Ancients, and power is indeed in the hands of the bloodthirsty.

Nova: Omega
Nova: Omega is the story of Hitori Seishin, a mercenary on the planet of Esper. He leads Omega team in the Nova Mercenary Academy, and is the son of the legendary warrior Maia Seishin, now deceased. He is in the final days of his education at the elite Academy, where at the last minute he’s assigned a new teammate, Elvira. She is a total novice, but her unique abilities make her a promising addition to his team. We join the pair on their journey, Hitori, fighting to prove he belongs amongst the ranks of warriors indisputably his better, and Elvira, struggling to adapt to a world where the trophy for second place is a tombstone. Meanwhile, ancient and powerful forces clash in the shadows, racing across the globe to secure powerful artifacts capable of upending the foundations of the world. New chapters released every MWF. Sorry for the random tiny chapters. I structured and uploaded this as a series of scenes, some of which just didn't need to be very long. I could probably attach the "sub-scenes" to previous chapters, but that'd only be covering it up, so I'm not sure its worth it. Anyway if you find them annoying, let me know, and I'll put some more thought into it. I did, at least, make a point of always posting at least a thousand words on any given day (after I noticed the problem), which hopefully mitigates the problem.
