《》Meeting Alex Burgess
Advertisement
"Are you sure about this sweetheart. You can still back out you know, what you are about to do is dangerous." A woman told Alice through the phone voicing her worries.
"I know ma but my concious would not be at peace if I leave that man in this stupid mansion." Alice said to her mother. "I have been having these visions for a reason and this is that reason. So please trust me and know this I WILL come back."
"Very well sweetie I will trust you on this but please...promise me that you will come back out of this unscathed?" Her mother asked in a pleading tone.
"Of course ma I promise." Alice told her with confidence and finality.
With that Alice ended the call and looked at the mansion in front of her. It was an old whimsical manor and it is obvious that it was very well maintained. When Alice was in front of the door she plucked up her courage and knocked on the door.
The door opened and a butler stood in front of Alice and looked at her in a bewildered manner.
"May I help you ma'am?" Alice smiled and presented her 'I.D.' to the butler.
"Hi my name's Ella Johnson and I'm a student of Cambridge University. I'm here for a project." The butler looked at the I.D. while listening to Alice talk.
"It focuses on the history of old medieval infrastructures. So I picked the Burgess mansion for my project." The butler's eyes widened at Alice's statement.
"Oh my...it has been a while since a history student came here for these kind of assignments. Please come in I will lead you to Mr. Burgess' office." Alice nodded in gratitude and followed the butler inside.

She memorized every turn and directions of the hallways that she walked pass by. So that if she somehow was able to save the man in the glass cage she knows how to get him out of this place. When they arrived at the office the butler knocked on the door.
"Enter" A raspy and weak voice could be heard from the other side of the door.
When they entered Alice saw a frail, weak and paralyzed man in front of her. He was sitting on a wheel chair and was looking outside the window. The butler coughed to grab the man's attention.
"Mr. Burgess there is a student who majors in history here to see you." The man looked at the butler then turned his attention to Alice.
"Ahhh it is nice to see one of you students again to grace my home with your curious minds and questions." Alice pretended to chuckle and shook the man's hand.
"The name is Ella Johnson I hope to see more of your home and learn it's rich history as well as the people who lived in it." Alice gave the man a smile and he reciprocated it with his own.
"A pleasure to have you here Ms. Johnson. The name is Alex Burgess the owner of this mansion. I would love to tour you around here personally but..." Alex looked down on his legs and Alice understood what he mean't.
"It's no problem Mr. Burgess I'm sure the butler over here can give me the tour of this place while I will come to you for my many questions." The old man just laughed and nodded.
"Please follow me miss, I will lead you to your room." Alice agreed and they both walked out of the office.

The butler lead her to a flight of stairs and to a long ass corridor. They stopped at a door at the end of the hall.
"This will be your room for the next few days of your stay here with us Ms. Johnson." Alice smiled and gave a thank you to the butler and entered her room.
Her room is breath taking it was beautiful but with a hint of coziness. It was just...perfect she placed her travel bag down and sat down. She gave a smirk and chuckled.
"I have to admit they are a cautious bunch I'll give them that." Alice thought to herself.
Even though they believe her little lie. She knew that they didn't trust her. The biggest clue was that when you turn right at the long ass hallway. You can see the master bedroom. So they placed her where the owner can keep an eye on her.
"What a clever little rat." Alice harshly whispered but this didn't really change her plans, she just needs to be extra careful.
"When night time comes that's where I'll make my move." Alice noted in her head and decided to lay on the bed to get some much needed shut eye.

Rise of the Desolate Star
“The soul is a sword. The body its sheath. Adversity is the hammer, while courage is the anvil. Oh, and son? Your tears and snot, they’re just the sparks that chip away at the impurities, like dungflies off a sow’s arse.” - Kendric Farrow Ever since he could remember, young Skyle Farrow’s body and mind have been hammered relentlessly like red-hot steel against the anvil of adversity under the watchful eyes of his father. All the while, Skyle’s heart and soul have been nurtured by the enduring warmth of his loving mother. Skyle has always asked why a simple farmboy would have need for all manner of skills like hand-to-hand combat, wilderness tracking, archery, beast taming, geography, history, politics, and even embroidery! The one vital question remains unasked, however: just what are his parents preparing him for? The invasion of a demonic horde? The advent of an age of war and endless bloodshed? The dark legacy of an ancient mystical power? A desperate struggle to save the lives of those he holds dear? The end of the world? It is a good thing he never asked these questions, for the answer would have been yes - to all of them. Now Skyle must take his first steps beyond the sheltered world he has known. He has been raised strong, but is he strong enough? Welcome to a tale of friendship, love, loss and heartbreak. It chronicles the growth of a young boy into a legend whose path will shatter the very foundations of the world. Expect a rich, detailed world with vivid characters. Each will pursue their own complex agendas due to realistic motivations. The MC will be overpowered, not through liberal use of plot armor but rather the deliberate application of arduous training, clever thinking, and nurtured talent. Battles will be graphic, victories will be bittersweet, and defeat will not mean the end of the world - for time waits for no one and life goes on whether we like it or not. New chapters posted on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6 p.m EST, 10 p.m. GMT.

Mated at first sight
Evie went to college at her hometown to get away from Ashton (her mate that she rejected after she found out what he really did to her).Ashton was heart broken, had probably an alcohol problem and his pack was slacking. Josh found out where Evie was hinding after weeks if not months. He told Ashton where she was and they went to her hometown."Ashton?" My whisper seemed to travel all the way to them because Ashton and Josh both turn to look my way. I hear him shout my name and a couple seconds later I'm being pulled into a chest."Evie." Ashton says almost breathlessly, as if he's in shock from seeing me."Let go of me." I spit out, trying to keep the anger in front of the hurt."I can't." He whispers."Well you need to. I thought I made it clear last time, we are done." I say heatedly, anger and hurt crashing through me.Ashton closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, "I'm sorry," he whispers, "but I have to."Panic flirts through me, "Have to what?"Ashton leans down and puts his lips against my neck and starts kissing softly. Heat floods through me and chases away any panic, anger or hurt. I feel my body lean into his embrace and can't help but feel like I should never move from his arms."I'm sorry." Ashton whispers against my neck. Before I can say anything, I feel his teeth against my neck.
