《The Unexpected [M.E]》6

Her eyes widened and her heartbeat increased. Matt's here? Why the hell...
"Hey! I missed ya Dust," She heard his voice and saw him wrap his strong arms around her. She felt jealousy course through her like a hungry appetite. Slowly, she closed the laptop and stood up. When Matthew walked in, he saw his dark haired best friend intensively staring at him.
"What are you doing here?" She asked. Matthew was surprised by the coldness of her voice. Laura was never cold. And when she was, you had to be cautious. Because that meant, she was an easy ticking bomb.
"What no hug?" He innocently asked her, arms opened to her. Home. That was her first thought. So she pushed aside her anger, she pushed aside her bitterness, and bottled it up till he left.
His arms wrapped tightly around Laura's rather tall, yet not too tall frame. Laura's arms went around his neck and his arms around her waist. The hug was quick yet it made her stomach flipped. He smelt of Apple and some designers cologne. When they pulled back, she saw Dusty in the corner of her eye smirking. She only rolled her eyes.
Dusty always knew about Laura's feelings towards Matt. She kept it a secret the whole two years before he left. And she had to be there for her best friend because the only guy that she fell for, left suddenly.
Dusty watched Laura and Matt have a small conversation before Laura called Dusty's name to order more pizza.
Laura let Matt sit beside her. She opened her laptop and surfed YouTube while he looked. "So you still mad at me?" Laura just shaked her head. "Nope."
Matthew just nudged her shoulder. "Well... I guess we'll have to see about that."

"Yo, Dust!"
"Yeah?" Dusty called back to Matt. She closed her phone. Hands on her hips as she stared at the ash blond guy.
"Since you're both here... might as well drop the bomb." Laura had a stomach clenching feeling and she stopped breathing for a moment. Until he spoke. "I wanna take you guys on my next tour." Laura choked on her breath and looked at him.
"What?! Matt... are you freaking serious right now? Don't you dare mess with me," He chuckled at her excitement and nodded. "I'm dead serious. Both of y'all are coming with me.... that's if you want though." Laura looked at her best friend, both with wide eyes.
Dusty then looked at Matthew. "Uh, hell yes. I wouldn't pass that on." Matthew clasped his hands then looked at Laura. Her breath caught in her throat at how beautiful and mesmerizing he was up close. She never noticed the small things till now.
Till now.
"I-yeah of course," Laura felt the biggest grin on her face and it actually hurt. But the good kind of hurt.
Matt patted her thigh and then smiled. "Perfect." Laura felt like screaming and jumping up and down like a damn freshman because he had done that.
Holy crap I need to calm my feelings. Now. Like right now. She thought to herself. She knew if she was going with him on the tour that she couldn't let her feelings get in the way, because she knew they were only best friends. Only. Nothing else. So Laura just sucked it up and smiled back. "Indeed Matty Boy," The door bell rang and signaled the pizza was here. Dusty paid and brought it in front of them.
While they were eating Dusty spoke up first. "So Matt, how did you know the way here?"

"Came here with Lo," He answered nonchalantly. Laura just hid her grin with the pizza as she looked at her best friend. Dusty gave her the 'details later' look and Laura just blinked rapidly.
"Oh, I see. Y'all be forgetting me already." Dusty made a hurt face and took a bite of her pizza. "Nah, you were just too lazy to come and see it when I bought the damn place."
Before Dusty replied Matthew's phone rang and he held up his finger while sliding the lock to open it up. "Hello?"
"What's up Nash?" Laura's stomach churned at the name. Hate him. She thought to herself. Not only did she hate him. She knew he was a bad influence on Matty.
"A'it man, I'll be there in a little bit." With that he closed the line and looked at both of his best friends with a sorry look. "Sadly I have to go. But I will text Lo with the details about the tour. Y'all just be packed by this Thursday. Two days guys, is that enough time?" He chuckled while standing up. They both nodded and Laura spoke,
"Don't die dude, okay? I might call you." Matthew gave her a toothy grin.
"Course could never die on you." With that they all yelled goodbye and Matt left Laura's house. Dusty stood up immediately and dropped her pizza on her plate. "I want fucking details right now."
Ah damn.

Duality of a Soul
In the land of magic and demons, knights and forgotten ancient technologies. What would you do if you were to wake up one day amidst all of this without your memories? Will you do everything you can to get them back to be who you were, or leave the past behind and begin anew? Follow along with our main character as he struggles to establish his new identity while the shadows of his past threaten to consume him. To be a detested hero or celebrated villain? Only time will tell. Author’s Note: Heavily influenced by fantasy goodness far and wide, I hope to make it somewhat original with a sense of familiarity to you. The overall story is pieced together through the perspective of the characters presented, first + third person narrative styles because I enjoy reading novels with similar storytelling. Please feel free to provide any comments and constructive criticisms for me because I love to read what you think so I can continue to improve on my imperfections and make the story better. Cheers!

Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website.
