Lia's pov
Everyone glances at Nick. Through Aaron's night vision, I see that he has a slight grin on his face but fear in his eyes. No one speaks so I pop up, "Why don't you like Nick?" Silence. Just as Billy opens his mouth to ask something different, the same voice rings through, because. I giggle and faces turn my way. "What? That's what I would say too." I smile. Bailee snickers and things are okay until Nick starts to cough. Not just a small cough everyone gets, but a bronchitis-type cough. "Are you okay, dude?" Aaron asks. Zak places a hand on his back and hits him. Nick is silent but I see that his eyes are watering. "Are you okay?" Billy asks. Nick clears his throat, "Yeah." He sounds dazed. "It's really cold right here," Zak, who is next to him says. Nick places his head in his hands but quickly stands up. "What?" Aaron says. "I swear I just felt something grab my leg. Like you know how little kids ride on your leg." He freaks out. He sits on the floor, "Oh my word, man. It's still there." "Get off of him!" Zak orders the little girl. I hear a sigh from Nick, "I feel sick." One of the guys walkies goes off. I catch Jay saying to bring Nick back to base. "He's right. You need to calm down," Aaron says standing up. We'll go somewhere else. "Wait," Billy says, "Someone should stay in here." "Who?" Bailee asks. "You can, Bill." Zak says. "Wait can I stay?" Bailee asks. "Me too?" I ask excitedly. "Sure," Zak says. Nick starts to cough insanely again as the three of them walk out, Aaron leaving his camera on a table facing the three of us. "Cool," I whisper. Billy grabs the Ovilus V, "Yes! I love that!" I say. Billy chuckles and turns it on. "Little girl? Anything you want to say, go ahead," Billy says sweetly. It's silent for a few minutes but then a word comes through, you. I open my mouth to ask something else but it says hurt. "Did somebody hurt you?" Billy asks. Little did we know that's not what the spirit meant at all.

Moment later the Ovilus is silent and so are we. I glance up at Billy and get slightly scared. He is looking at Bailee and me with darkness in his eyes. "Billy?" Bailee asks, "Are you okay?" Everything after happened so fast. Billy stands up and takes a step towards the bed we are sitting on. I scoot back towards the center praying he's okay. Bailee stays on the edge as the man grumbles angrily, "Get out." It was not Billy's voice. I knew that for a fact. I stay frozen in fear as he gets closer to Bailee thinking how could this be possible. It was like we were in a horror movie and this wasn't real life. A low growl comes from behind me and I turn around, seeing nothing. Bailee screams from behind me. I turn and see her on the floor and Billy Tolley coming for me next. I scoot back until I am against the pillows and wall. I look at him, "Billy! Stop!" I try. He grabs my arm and twists it, then pushing me off the bed.
Zak, Nick, and Aaron rush in. "Billy!" Zak yells. Aaron runs up and grabs his arms, Billy collapses on the bed. I could tell he was back to normal, his eyes having lost their gloom. "Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh! What the hell is wrong with me?" He has pain in his voice. "Billy relax," Aaron says calmly. Zak and Nick come over and help us up. I brush myself off and try not to move my arm Billy grabbed. Bailee doing the same with the shoulder she landed on. "Are you guys okay?" Aaron asks. Billy turns around, "I'm so sorry! I don't know what happened!" He stands up off the bed, "It's fine. It isn't your fault," Bailee responds. "Yeah. Honestly I just want to get out of here." I add. Everyone agrees and we rush to base. "Are you guys okay?" Jay asks when we walk in. "Course we are. Billy didn't know what he was doing," I smile at him. He still seemed pretty scared, luckily it was almost dawn. Jay shows us a huge black figure go towards Billy after the Ovilus says hurt, the same one leave after I fall off the bed. The same one Bailee and I saw in that room the first time we were there. "Cool," Zak says, astonished. "Scary," Nick adds.

A man opens the door, "How was that?" He grins, the sunrise peeking over the mountains. "Great place you got here," Zak says as we all pack up. Bailee and I help them load up the van. "Thanks a million for letting us stay tonight," I say. "Yeah it was amazing," Bailee adds.
"Really?" Aaron asks. "That was one of our most active places!"
"Exactly! It was amazing!!" I exclaim. "Well we had fun, too," Nick says. "Yeah," the other three chorus. I yawn, "We better get back to the orphanage. Madame Priscilla will be worried if we aren't back by eight." Bailee nods, "We really appreciate it!" "It was very nice meeting you girls," Jay says. "It was a dream come true meeting you guys," Bailee says. We turn around and start walking. "I wish this night didn't have to end," I say when we are out of ear shot. Bailee grins "Me too. But it was still the best night ever!"

Wizard's Tower
The humans call me Nemon Fargus. They call me wizard, and [Elementalist] and [Enchanter]. They call me teacher. They call me adventurer. But I don't care. Not anymore. For more than a hundred and fifty years I've served the Kingdom of Sena. Through four Kings and a Queen. Two wars and a rebellion. I've founded and taught at a magic school. I've fought against beast waves and dungeon breaks. But now? Now, the one close friend I had left has passed. So, I'm done with their politics and their economics. The short and busy lives of humans are more burden than benefit on the weary soul of this half-elf. Now, I'm looking for a refuge, a place that can well and truly be my own. Away from the growing cities and the bustling markets, away from the pointless wars, away from the eager students and the arrogant adventurers. It's too much. I'm seeking the peaceful life of a wizard in his tower, studying magic to advance my spellcraft. We'll see if that happens. *synopsis covers book 1 / ac 1 Author's housekeeping: This story is a rough draft.

AutoDot
At the ripe old age of 12, Dorothy became a brand new Automata, synthetic beings with a living soul and memories of their previous life as an organic being. Join her on her slice-of-life adventures as she discovers what it's like to grow up as a robot that runs on magic in a world of Adventurers and dungeon explorers, and parents that can't quite get that she doesn't need food or sleep any more. AutoDot takes place in the same world as Automata Prime, but is set many years after the events of that series. This book is suitable for both kids and kids at heart that enjoy some crunchy LitRPG elements. I won't be releasing chapters on a schedule for this one, instead I'll be posting them as I write them with a target length of about 4500 words per chapter.
