"Guys I'm hungry." Cassie complained.
"You're always hungry." Kelli replied laughing at her.
"But this time I'm serious I feel like I'm about to die, can we get something to eat?" Cassie begged pouting at Kelli who then looked over at me and Chanel. "Yeah I could eat a burger right now." I shrugged.
"Alright let's go." Cassie smiled widely.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I screamed as A car swerved in front us stopping inches away from my body. A wave of anger flew over me and next thing I knew I was on my way round to the drivers side.
I banged on the window until the door opened and Jace stepped out.
"You?!"
I looked back at the girls then at him. "Are you fuxking crazy? You almost killed us."
"Almost. I could if I wanted to." He replied unfazed by the current situation.
"What do you want?" I asked but he ignored me and just looked over at everyone who was waiting on me and trying to figure out how I knew him.
"You guys can go inside I'll be there soon."
"Are you sure?" Chanel asked glaring at Jace.
"Yeah." I smiled and they nodded and went inside the restaurant. As soon as they all went inside he grabbed my arm roughly and threw me against a his car.
"Owe!" I screamed. "You can't just be throwing me around like this!"
He grabbed my face roughly and made me look him in the eye. "Shut the fuck up." I pushed his hands away from my face. "Don't tell me what to do, you ain't my daddy."
"Shut up before I fuck you up and you know I'd do it."
I swallowed hard feeling the cold metal of his gun against my waist. This man had a bad habit of pulling his gun out on me and I was getting tired of it.
"Your phone broke?" He asked pulling a blunt out of his pocket. "No why?" I asked honestly not understanding the reason for his question.
He nodded and lit his blunt. "What did I tell you before you left the club?"

I shrugged turning away as he blew smoke into my face. "Don't play with me Nicki." He stepped closer to me, trapping me between his car and him.
I sighed remembering what he was referring to. "You said to call you, I was meant to but I've been busy and-"
He cut me off by placing his phone in my hands. "Put your number in."
"Why?"
"Just do it." I rolled my eyes and typed my number in. "Can I go now?" I asked once it was saved in his phone.
"Nah I don't trust you I gotta call that shit and make sure it's really your number."
"It is, why would I-"
"Stop talking."
I crossed my arms over my chest annoyed. "You know you're so rude."
"I'm not rude, I just feel you talk to much and if I let it happen you'll say something reckless."
"You don't even know me."
"I know you got a smart ass mouth and a stank attitude to go with it."
"Jace I'm really hungry can I go please?" I asked. "What are you doing tonight?"
I shrugged before answering. "Working maybe."
"I'm gonna call you at 10, make sure you answer if you don't want me to come looking for you again."
I nodded and he stepped back.
"You can go."
I quickly jogged to the restaurant.
"So are we just gonna sit in silence and act like what just happened outside didn't happen?" Cassie asked breaking the silence.
"Nicki?"
"Hm?" I answered looking up from my menu. "Are you gonna explain?"
I sighed putting down the menu as I prepared to tell if all. "Remember me and Chanel went a club on Friday?"
"Yeah well I met him there, he's kinda the owner...anyway one thing led to another and we ended up fucking. That's it." I summarised keeping the story short.
Chanel raised her eyebrows giving me the 'oh really?' Look. "That's it? Only she missing out the most important part... he's crazy as fuck."
"We figured. The way he handled you out there."
"Well I don't know about the rest of you but I think he's good for you Nicki." Kelli said surprising everyone, usually she was against this type of stuff; one night stands etc.

"It's about time you finally got a nigga brave enough to check you."
"Girl bye." I laughed waving her off.
"I don't care how brave he thinks he is I'm still gonna talk my shit regardless."
"You say that now. I bet $100 that in two weeks you won't be talking reckless no more." Cassie mumbled with a smile on her face.

I woke up to my phone ringing loudly.
I slid my finger over than answer icon."
"Hello"
"You was sleep?" He asked and I looked over at the time. "Yeah I got in from work about an hour ago."
"Alright. I'll make this quick then. I know you think my club is trash but I'm throwing a party there in two weeks invite only. You can bring Chanel and those other bitches you was with today."
"Don't call my friends bitches!" I frowned angrily.
"That's what they are."
"So am I a bitch too then?" I asked.
"Nah, I just think your bark is louder than you bite."
"What does that mean exactly?"
"It's means you like to talk but there's no actions." He clarified.
"That's because I only let you see the nice side of me." I smirked to myself.
He laughed loudly into the phone. "That's your nice side?"
"Yeah, if I wanted to I could ruin your life in second."
"I see, so you're a little 5ft nothing savage." He said whilst laughing.
"5'2 actually." I corrected him. I was little but that didn't mean nothing. I was 5'2 in high school fighting 6ft bitches.
My mind set was and will always be 'Fear nobody but God'
"You still sleepy?" He asked. "Not really but I got some cleaning to do so can I call you back tomorrow?"
"No I'm not done talking to you yet."
"Seriously?" I whined.
"I meant what I said, I wanna get to know you better."
"I don't see why. We're not together and us being a thing isn't gonna happen anytime soon. I've heard about you."
"Oh yeah? What did you hear baby girl?" He asked and I could feel myself getting hot. Hearing him call me baby girl in that tone made all my feelings for him hit me at once.
"Nic, you still there?" I heard pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Yeah sorry, uh I heard that you've killed people and that you're a player." I told him the things I'd heard about him.
"A player? Nah I'm ready to settle down , I've been waiting on the right girl to commit to tho. I think I've found her but she stubborn."
"So are you not denying the killing part?" I asked realising he ignored the first part of my statement.
"Where I grew up its kill or be killed, I ain't really had a choice. I don't regret it either."
"How old are you?"
"25. What about you? I really can't remember what you told me." He said and I smirked twirling the ends of my hair. "That's because I didn't."
"Tell me." He insisted.
"It's rude to ask a woman her age."
"Does it look like I give a fuck about what's rude. Now tell me."
"Nah."
"Alright then if you won't tell me your age tell me something else about you."
"I was born in Trinidad. My dads Trini, my moms Puerto Rican/ Boricua ."
"Exotic. I like it. So your mom being Latina, that mean you can speak Spanish?" He asked.
"Yeah but don't ask me to speak it. Jace I wasn't lying when I said I had to clean up, I don't wanna hear Chanel's mouth I gotta go." I said thinking about how mad Chanel would be if she came home and I still hadn't cleaned the house like I promised.
"You live together?"
I nodded as if he could see me. "Yeah that's my best friend."
"Alright, you can go now I'll call you tomorrow. Bye."
"Goodbye Jayceon ." I sung twirling the ends of my hair.
What are you doing Nicki? I asked myself after realising the situation I was putting myself in by allowing him to talk to me.
This was gonna be a long ride.

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter
