CHAPTER 32
ANGIES POV
It finally seemed like things were perfect as I sat in the limo with Harry and three fans. But we all know that life is never perfect. My phone started ringing and I noticed it was an unknown number.
"Hello this is Angie." I said softly.
"Is your mother Kerri Scott?" A male voice asked warmly.
"Yes. May I ask who is talking?" I said now a little worried.
"I'm Douglas and I am head of London's police." He said quietly.
Many thoughts were now racing through my mind.
"Why are you calling?" I asked almost crying.
"Your mother has been murdered. I am so sorry."
I couldn't breathe; I opened my mouth but nothing came out. It was as if the entire world froze around me. My head was spinning as I finally came to words.
"You're lying!" I screamed.
"Angie I am so sorry. You should call your family and tell them what has happened. I must go now."
I dropped my phone and started full on bawling. Harry put his arm around me and I could tell he was confused. "What's wrong babe?" He asked with a concerned look on his face.
"My mom was just murdered." I said unable to catch my breath.
I then heard Harry yell to the driver to go back to my house. Sure enough when we got there, there were ambulances, police cars, and caution tape.
The limo stopped and I ran into the house to find my dead mother laying in a pool of blood.
"Who?" I asked to nobody in specific.
"Who are you? You're not allowed to be in here young lady." A detective said angrly.

"That's my mother." I said pointing at her lifeless body.
"You're much to young to deal with this." He said, his tone softer.
"Who would do this?" I asked through my tears.
"We don't know yet, whoever did this must be a pro."
I nodded my head and said "So what do I do?"
"Well you should notify everyone in your family. Aunts uncles, siblings, grandparents, cousins and everyone else. Speaking of which, where is your father?"
I didn't really like to talk about my family because my Dad moved away a few years ago and that was all I had. "I don't have his contact information. He's not important." I said looking down.
"There must be someone in the family that you need to tell." He said back.
"Just my brother." I said remembering Matthew. I felt so bad because he hadn't even got to see her again.
"Ok, well we need to keep this body for evidence. So you can't stay here."
I nodded my head and walked out of my house still crying. When I got outside I couldn't believe what I saw. There were thousands of "Directioners" outside my house crowding the limo. I called Harry and he answered rather quickly.
"Angie I am still in the limo, don't worry." He said laughing.
How dare he think that this is a time to be laughing or that him being in the limo is my biggest concern right now.
"How do I get in?" I asked angrly.
"You can't." He mumbled.
I put my phone back in my pocket and snuck behind the house before I was spotted by crazy fans. I walked down to the ocean and started skipping stones.

I decided that I would call Matthew now that I had calmed down.
"Hey Angie, what's up?" He sounded happy.
"Mom was murdered." I blurted out flatly.
"By who? Do they know who?" He fired back not sounding at all sad.
"No." I grumbled.
"Where are you?" Was his next question.
"Behind the house skipping stones." I said releasing a rock and watching it skip 6 times before sinking.
"Alone?" He asked.
"Yupp." I said almost starting to cry again.
"I'll be there in 10." He said still not sounding upset.
He hung up so I slid my phone into my back pocket and sat down watching the waves. Sure enough, ten minutes later, Matthew plopped down next to me.
Now you see my face was red and puffy and I barely had my breath, but he was completely normal. Maybe even a little pale? Strange.
"Would you like to go on a boat ride?" He asked breaking the silence.
"We don't have a boat Matthew." I reminded him.
"I know this women that can take us for a ride." He said laughing.
Why is everyone laughing? Ugh!
"I guess." I said not caring about anything but my mom.
"Great. There she is." He said pointing to a big boat that came right to our dock.
"Wow, that was fast." I said shocked.
He laughed a little more before getting on the boat. A little creepy, I know.
A short fat person came onto the lower deck to greet us. She looked like she was a man dressed as a women. Oh well, I could care less at a time like this. I couldn't help but think that he/she looked strangely familar.
Oh well. I decided to go to the upper deck and relax. After an hour or so of just boating around, I decided to go talk to Matthew and that other person. I walked down to the lower deck to find the two of them whispering.
"Hey." I said making them both jump.
I walked over to them and tried to join there conversation. "What are you guys talking about?" I asked.
"Puppies." Matthew blurted out randomly.
So I sat down with them and we started having a nice conversation about puppies. But then it hit me, the short fat man or women was actaully Matthews boss, thats why they looked so familar. After I noticed that, it all came to me.
I was on a boat with 2 murders one of which is in a costume, and there was just a murder at my house. It seemed like Matthew and his boss killed my mother and then kidnapped me.
No.
This can't be true I thought.
"Angie everything okay?" Matthew asked startling me.
"Did you guys kill my mom?" I asked.
I realize that probably wasn't a good thing to ask right after I said it.
They exchanged a glance between each other and the glared at me.
Then Matthew spoke suddenly,
"It sure took you long enough idiot."

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.

AK - The Alchemy Kingdom
Karl always wanted to be a Mage. He was born in the Serion Kingdom, a fully pledged magic Kingdom. Seems like a perfect match, right? Unfortunately, no. He's just a commoner, working endlessly to maintaining the lifestyle of Mages. On his 15th birthday, his last chance to escape from a miserable life was destroyed when he was deemed to have no magic potential. For thousands of Serion's citizens that would be the end of their dreams. But how could this story be any fun, ending like that? Follow Karl and his friends while they tried to fight against the Kingdom's oppression. Will the system bend them to submission or will they break the chains of destiny? Spoiler alert: After thousands of years, an ancient Magic system will be reborn in the small Caiset village. What should you expect? - Kingdom Building: For sure! The heavy lifting will come later, I promise! Foundation is important, please be patient; - Epic battles: A Kingdom is not built without war and conflict. Who doesn't like good fights? Let's bring some excitement to this novel!; - Multiple leading characters: Karl convinced them to get on the bus, but this is a very long trip and everyone will need to drive a little; - Scientific Magic System: Especially Alchemy! I'm in no way trying to take the fantasy out of Magic. I just feel like trying to do something more logical. I'll probably stumble on a fine line, but I’m counting on you to keep me on track!; - World Building: I’m using some basic concepts from traditional Fantasy Worlds and trying to add some nice touches to make it unique; - Fun?: I'll try to insert some humor into the story, but that’s an experience we will go through together. Other points I find important: Alchemy is mostly crafting magic tools, but it will go a little further down the road. Even if you don't like crafting, weapon enhancing and whatnot, don’t give up on the novel. You might be surprised about Alchemy's reach later. Also, other types of Magic will play an important role here, just not the leading role. ......... Check out my two spin-off novels, Merchant Queen and Harbinger of Death! Both are independent novels, but with the same world setting... Maybe some crossover later... Either way, you can check them to get additional information on worldbuilding and hidden plots... Please leave a comment! If you want to help me more, support me on Patreon. I'm always trying to come up with new ways for you to participate in this journey. New Chapters on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday!
