Chapter Eighteen - Part Two ▪︎
(Dahlia's eye colour^)
She was oblivious of the beast running after her. He was oblivious of her frail state.
She felt her heart beating stronger in her chest. Something was off. The blood is making her stronger, but her human body can't take it. She is tired, even though she could lift a horse without a problem.
She started slowing down. Her breathing wasn't fast, but it was deep, almost like gasps. She was clutching her throat as she fell to her knees and doubled over in pain. Her heart felt as though it was going to explode. The lycan blood was being pumped through her veins and was quickly destroying her. Her skin was now sickly pale and her cheeks were red due to the blood rushing to them. Sweat was forming on her upper lip and forehead.
She was turned on her back and someone held their hand to her neck. She assumed they were checking her pulse.
"Shit." The person muttered and she opened her eyes and tried to peek at them, but all she could see was darkness. She recognised that voice.
"Alexander?" Her voice cracked.
"Hold on to me and promise me you won't fall asleep, okay?" He spoke as he took her frail body by the waist and helped her stand. He put her hands around his neck and feet around his torso. Her head was between his neck and shoulder and her chest was pressed against his back.
She had no strength to reply to him as he held her legs and arms together. She enjoyed his warmth and she didn't exactly hate him like she was supposed to, but she knew this was the end of her freedom.
***
Six days have passed. The King took Dahlia to his infirmary and the vampire doctors, even though they were the best he could find, couldn't understand why her body was failing her. Her heart was damaged and her kidneys were almost destroyed in a matter of minutes. They concluded that something poisoned her blood and so they started hemodialysis.

She seemed healthier to him.
When he took her to the doctors, she was out cold. Her body was slightly blue and if it weren't for her faint heartbeat, he could have mistaken her for dead.
Her skin was still pale, but she undoubtedly looked healthier. At first, he contemplated giving her his own blood, but he feared her reaction if she died with it in her system. He knew her kind hated traitors and if she turned to a vampire, unwillingly or not, she would be their number one target.
He stroked her rosy cheekbones and moved her slightly dry hair away from her face.
He took her hand and held it as he looked at her blue fingernails.
He thought about the night when they first met. The dress she wore, her once silky hair, tan complexion, rosy cheeks and healthy skin.
She looked like a ghost of her former self. He ruined the only good present the gods gifted him, he had to be selfish and take her.
He blamed himself for her poor chance of survival and the life that followed if she did survive.
Was her being alive and hating him worse than her dying in his arms?
He walked out of her room and to the lonely garden in the back of the hospital.
***
Dahlia woke up in a daze. She remembered Alexander's voice telling her to stay awake and a strange warmth engulfing her as he held her on his back, but she doesn't remember how she got in this room.
It was the cleanest and the most expensive room she had ever been in.
She looked to the left and saw a big machine. It had two tubes in it, both full of her blood. They were connected to her neck and she would've thought they were draining her if she didn't know it was some kind of filter.

There was a sachet of yellow-orange liquid at the bottom. It looked like urin.
If it was filtering her blood and urin was the byproduct, her kidneys must have failed.
All she wanted to do was sleep. The process wasn't very comfortable and it was tiring her. Refusing to go to sleep, she looked at the table across from her bed. It had a vase full of dahlia flowers in different colours. She liked them very much.
She knew who gave them to her, she thought of it as a sweet gesture.
A nurse walked in through the door on her right. She had black hair tied up in a low ponytail and white scrubs with white crocs on her feet.
Dahlia never saw a nurse in actual scrubs before. It was strange, but interesting.
The nurse looked at the machine to Dahlia's left and lazily sweeped her eyes across a tired Dahlia. Her eyes almost buldged out of her head when she saw Dahlia's lids parted and blinking.
"Water." Dahlia barely managed to whisper.
The nurse looked scared out of her mind as she nodded and hurried out of the room. She didn't close the door all the way as Dahlia heard her yell down the corridor: "She is awake! Call The King!"
The King. What is she going to do with The King? She doesn't hate him, but she isn't very fond of him. Maybe she will open a new page for him.
A fresh start, that's what she needs.

Lost Concord
|| ARC ONE: FRIENDS || In the world of Jasolem all manners of beings walk the land, from docile fairies to towering titans of ancient yore. A great evil has began to stir, and it takes the most unlikeliest of forms. Forcing the powerful Gods of the world to summon heroes from another world, in a desperate bid to prepare for an evil like none other. But is this the truth? As the Gods themselves are the embodiment of a set of beliefs, ideals and raw emotion. One individual named Benedict, with nothing truly special about him save for his seemingly dour nature, is forced to flee from his former allies. Thrown outside the halls he was summoned to, and into a large world he could not properly comprehend. Armed with only his desire to survive, he must now find a way to simply live. -Greetings! This is my first story to ever be posted. As I am an amateur writer, there shall be mistakes. More so with the fact that English is not my first language. This story is a re-write, and its original version was a request by a dear friend of mine. Though hopefully this version would be far better.. As the original version was a very cringe worthy thing. Many thanks to certain friends that have convinced me to post this. I shall do my best to at least update frequently, without sacrificing the.. quality of chapters. Tags will be added as the story goes on. || Disclaimer: Much of the chapters before Chapter Twelve are of poorer quality in terms of Grammar. So do forgive me for them, by Chapter Twelve and beyond however, the quality of the chapters should have had improved. I'm hopefully gonna fix most of the earlier chapters when I hit Chapter Twenty or Thirty.

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.

Collision of Myths
You all have probably heard this one. A hero is summoned from another world and is needed to defeat evil. That's all well and good. But this story is not about him. No, this story is about His younger brother who has been reincarnated as one of his descendants. And he's bringing with him all the myths and cultures from the other world with him. His journey will be one crazy turn after another. But it looks like he's just the person to accept the challenge. P.S. This is my first time writing stuff like this so go easy on me with the comments. I may also need some help with spelling and grammar. Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay

Here we'll explore the world that I've crafted in the book, learn new things about the characters, and get a deeper understanding of how magic works. Think of it as an Automata Wiki.
