《》Chapter 18: Missed
Advertisement
Carlisle sat alone in the living room of the Denali's house. Their friends in Alaska let them stay for however long they needed to because they were off with others anyway. He sat there and looked out of the window onto the snowy ground below. He looked through blurred vision, having venom sitting in his eyes like tears that could never fall.
He was angry, sad, depressed, literally every negative emotion out there is what he was at the moment. He was suffering, and all because his mate and his son's mate were both humans. They thought this was for the best, but from what Alice has told him, the two girls wouldn't be leaving Bella's room unless it was for school, a bit of food here and there, or the bathroom.
He felt awful. He felt like he betrayed her. She's out there feeling alone and he can't go to her. Edward left when they got here, saying something about wanting to be alone. Carlisle wanted to throw the poor boy across Alaska and go back, but he knew he wasn't that kind of man. And Genesis would have kicked his ass if she found out.
Carlisle let out a bitter laugh at the thought. He missed her dearly. He missed her bright eyes and dark, soft hair. He missed how her eyes would crinkle when she smiled, or her nose would crinkle when she was disgusted. He missed her snarky remarks and sassy attitude. He missed her protective personality and compassionate heart. He'd give anything to hear her voice call his name again.
The venom wouldn't leave his eyes. He knew if he were human the he'd be a crying mess. He's technically one now, but no tears are falling. He wondered if venom could fall like a tear if a vampire was sad enough. He was kind of doubting that, though. Seeing as that he's drowning in depression at this point.

He wondered if he should have said something before leaving. Should he have told her that he was going? He had regrets about not visiting her one last time to tell her, but he also was glad he didn't, because he didn't want to see her break in front of him. He would have never left if he did. On that thought, now he fully regrets not going to her. He would have convinced himself out of this himself.
While Carlisle was off in his own little world of depression, the other Cullen's were off in theirs. None of them really knew Bella too well, but Genesis was their family. Genesis was like an anchor that the Cullen's tied themselves to. She kept them sane, and made them feel normal, like humans.
She saw the best in all of them individually. She broke through walls they put up gracefully, and she didn't judge them for who they were. She didn't see them as God's or like a way at a new life. She saw them as family, and protected them as such. All of the Cullen's had their separate reasons for missing her.
Chandler missed teasing her. He missed making innuendos and her not understand it. He missed her sass and jokes. She was the light in the room to him. He saw her as the sister he never knew he needed.
Esme missed her love. She missed the way she would hug everyone in the room and how she would calm them down whenever something was wrong. She was the one that held all of them high and made them feel joy. She was also like a sister to her.
Emmett missed her strength. He missed how she would always stand up for them and stood tall in a rough situation. She was the one that didn't judge him based off his appearance alone. She was beginning to look like a mother figure to him.

Rosalie missed her understanding nature. She missed how she would always listen to her even when she was hating on her sister. She was the one that understood her as much as Emmett, maybe even more experience wise. She saw her as a bit of a caring mother to her.
Jasper missed her compassion. He missed how she made him feel normal. He didn't crave her blood like he did the other humans. He missed how she looked at him like he could do anything and that he wasn't the monster he saw himself as. He saw her as the motherly figure he had in his human years.
Alice missed her giddy attitude. She missed having someone that got as excited as her and was very childish in some situations. She saw her as her fun mom.
They all missed her for different reasons, and they could all agree with each other that they missed the other aspects of her too. She touched their lives in a way that they could have never imagined. Venom swelled up in all their eyes on their first day here. And every time they thought about her it would happen again.
They felt like a part of them was missing. Like they left a key part of their lives behind. They all wanted to go back. Rosalie had blamed Bella at first for them leaving. She knew it wasn't all her fault, but she couldn't help but think that she'd still have Genesis by her side if she would have just stayed away.
They felt selfish. They left to protect her and her sister, yet here they were, regretting ever listening to Edward and leaving. Alice promised to watch over the girls To see how they were doing. Alice had let out a dry sob the first day they arrived. She saw Genesis in Bella's room. She saw them in the same spots for the months to come.
She had seen how they barely eat and how Genesis sat with Bella through nightmares, yet she didn't hardly sleep herself. Even in pain, Genesis managed to keep Bella's needs over her own. Alice wanted to run away. She wanted to grab everyone and leave Edward to his own emotions. He was killing them from the inside out and he didn't even have to witness it.
Alice had to watch it. All of it. She had to inform everyone of their condition. She had relive their misery and she hated it. Her brother was making literally everyone suffer because of one slip up. They saved Bella and Genesis from James! And the boys had Jasper! Jasper was eating away at himself. He knew it was his fault. He ruined everything.
Genesis wouldn't want this. She would be here telling them that they're stronger than this, and that she's not worth all of this pain. But, she was. She was earth's angel. This world doesn't deserve her, yet she graces it with her presence. She took the bad and made it good. She has continued to do that and they miss that. They want her back.
They need Genesis.

Raak
James was in his 30's when his death came suddenly, not that he minded much, as life was seeming to drag on. His story, however, did not end with his death. As a point of fact, it had only just begun. This will be my first work, so please by all means comment with any errors I may have made. Suggestions for the story (which may or may not be used). This is a litrpg and a bit of a power fantasy, so be warned the protagonist will be pretty OP eventually.

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Can a King rise from the ashes of a broken soul? As a half-breed abomination blamed for the death of his brother, Roland's father disowned him and his pack rejected him.

Life is Wilde
There is a world where fiction meets reality. A world where human logic may prevail. Where human logic is the main thing that binds humanity. A world where Humanity is lesser to The World.Synopsis (For Chapters after Authors Note):Oscar is a child alike most others. He loves his mother, doesn't know his dad, and lives in a dome. Only, his greatest dream is to explore the vast wildes that plague the world. The problem is, the wildes house strange creatures mutated by radiation and a mysterious energy called "The Essence". How will Oscar ever survive in this chaotic world? Come, watch as our beloved character grows, makes friends, and paves a road into the firmaments as he establish his name in the new historical categories.Author's note*:This is an idea I'm roughing out. I'll be writing randomly, attenmpting to forge a storyline from my own sweat, determination, and creativity. It's loosely based on some Wuxia/Xuanhuan fictions I've read. It will have elements of human physiology, psychology, environmental science, nature vs man, man vs nature, human nature vs humanity, etc. This story is mean to be a work of fiction. It encompasses some of my views on morality. It will have corruption, foul-language, ignorance, racism. It will glean a bright world with imagination fused with the dark shadows for some to seek refuge. Though, in the world I will be creating... Refuge comes at a cost. A steep one.That is the Way of the World. The way of my world.Need cover art plz
