《Off Camera / A Treegan Love Story》Don't Say I Didn't Warn You
Advertisement
Still holding onto Keegan's hand tightly I stand there with him in my bedroom with nothing to say as I read what my alarm system says I freeze not being able to move for a minute. Keegan tells me to stay where I am but I don't listen.
"I'm coming with you." I tell him. "Troian. Please stay here. I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you." I open my mouth to argue but instead I give him a big hug and kiss on the lips.
I decide that the safest place to be at the moment is in my walk in closet, until I know the coast is clear. I open the door and call the dogs over and without calling him, Dan comes running along to join us. I don't know how long it is before I hear it. A sound I never thought I'd hear in my own home. A gun shot.
I instantly get up and run out of my closet. I run down the stairs not caring for a moment that someone might be in my home. I come to a stop and then I see him.
"Oh my god Keegan!" I yell. I run over to him. He's leaning against the wall slumped over and there's a lot of blood seeping through his shirt in the chest area. "Look at me." His eyes are closed. "Keegs. Please. Look at me!" I have my iPhone with me and dial 911. "Please I need an ambulance right now! My boyfriends been shot!" I practically scream into the phone. The dispatcher tells me someone will be here very soon and I give her my address before hanging up the phone.
I briefly look up to see writing on the wall above where Keegan is sitting.

Don't say I didn't warn you! Then I hear my phone going off. I look down to see a text from a number I don't recognize.
I told you to stay away from him!
Oh my god.
Once the ambulance arrives I get in and head to the hospital with Keegan and the paramedics. I text all of my friends including my mom and Marlene letting everyone know what happened. Lulu messages me and lets me know she's going to head over to my house with her husband to grab some of my belongings and my dogs including Keegan's cat Dan, and that she'll be bringing everything to her house. Inviting me and Keegan to stay with her for a bit.
We finally arrive at the hospital and they rush Keegan into surgery. When I arrive I sit in a waiting area in the Emergency department. My mom gets up from a chair and gives me a big hug. I let myself cry. A few minutes later Marlene, Lucy, Sasha, Ashley, Shay, Tyler and Ian arrive along with Keegan's mom Jone. They all try to comfort me and then I just feel the need to be silent. If I talk right now I'm only going to sob even more.
If I died today I have cherished the moments I have spent dating Troian Bellisario.
I will always remember the way she looked at me when she was happy. Her smile could light up a room.
Her cuddles were the best. I could tell just by the way she looked at me that I made her happy.
I was in love with Troian Bellisario.
"Keegs. You're tickling me again!" Troian says as she turns around and looks at me. I just pulled her hair back on her neck to kiss her. I wrap my arms around her and cuddle up to her for a few minutes.

It feels like we've all been sitting here for hours. No one has left my side. I look up to see Tyler handing me a coffee and a chocolate chip muffin.
"This is probably the last thing you feel like doing right now. I get that. But at least have the coffee. You look exhausted." I take the coffee and the muffin from him trying to force a smile.
"Thanks." I say quietly.
Half an hour later a doctor comes over to us followed by a police officer. The doctor tells everyone that we can go see Keegan.
"He's going to make a full recovery. Luckily the bullet just grazed his chest. If it had been any further he might not have made it. He's going to stay a couple days for observation." After the doctor leaves the officer comes over to me and takes a statement.
I get up and follow him to another area. Around the corner from where everyone is sitting. I tell him how we're pretty sure Keegan's ex girlfriend is threatening us.
"Ever since he broke up with her, she's been trying to get him back. Although the text I got was from a number I don't recognize. I can check Keegan's contacts and compare the phone numbers." I tell him. We talk a little more and then I make my way back to everyone.
"I'm going to see him." I announce. I see Keegan's mom coming toward me. "He's asking for you." She says with a smile before giving me a hug.
After we break apart I head towards the room. After passing the nursing station I reach it. I make my way into the private room and Keegan instantly turns to look at me beaming. With his hair cut short for playing Toby, he looks really handsome. Tears start streaming down my face.
Keegan opens his arms and I gently climb onto the hospital bed and cuddle up to him. For the longest moment we don't say anything we just stare into each other's eyes.
"Don't ever leave me ok." I tell him. He wipes a tear off my face with a finger.
"I'm not planning on it. I love you Troian." I hug him tightly then realize it might be too tight. He could be in pain. I slowly pull back a little bit.
"It's ok. You're not overdoing it." He tells me. Before he can say anything else I return the I love you.
That night in the hospital room I fall asleep in Keegan's arms. I don't think I let go of him the entire night. I never want to.

The Traitor Games
Welcome to the Traitor Games, and congratulations on your invitation to join as one of the races putting on a show for the galaxy. Your species has been judged as too violent for integration into the Galactic Conglomerate and thus the decision has been made to relegate you to a probationary period during which members of your species will be pitted against each other in games of lies and betrayal. Unfortunate, but the great thing about a probationary period is that it can end! How can we do that; you might be asking. Well, that's easy, if those participants can earn enough points through playing the games, they can potentially buy out your probationary time. Of course, other rewards will also be on offer for success in the games, and if none of your species chooses to be selfless, well then it just goes to show that you wouldn't have been a good fit for us anyway. All those on Earth unlucky enough to not be chosen to become part of one of the most popular shows on Galactic Television, fear not. We will be streaming the various games your race is participating in all across the world. Should we run out of participants, even with our most generous three life system, we will draw more from the population. Good Luck! Noah Landry is one of these participants, he just doesn't know it yet. He blacks out while walking to the local bar McCaffery's, and finds himself, somewhere else. He's wearing clothing he doesn't remember putting on and rocking an absolute banger of a headache. Now he needs to figure out where he is, what's going on, and how he can get out of the Traitor Games. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

Dragons of Dark Rebellion in A World of Essence
In a world where cultivation is the highest form of virtue, the purity of one’s blood is of absolute value. Saul is neither Arloni, nor Delcairan. He’s both. But when a strange ring suddenly falls into his hands, nineteen year old Saul is more than willing to push the boundary between fantasy and reality. However, things are not as they once were in Falden. At a time where Saul finally confronts lord Albryte’s sons after years of torment and abuse, his father’s health is fading fast. Suddenly faced with the consequences of his actions, Saul is forced to make a difficult decision. And as he fights his own battle, dark forces descend upon Lucidia. Followed by a pair of glowing red eyes, a stranger appears in the night, visiting Falden with unfavorable intentions. Even worse, nameless assassins strike at the heart of the capital, leaving Eliza Zaryph, the black sheep of the ruling house of Lucidia, shouldering the burden of governing a kingdom that once turned its back on her. As the world marches toward chaos, their lives take a drastic turn. Will Saul abandon those he holds most dear? Will Eliza drown herself in the past? Or will they struggle against fate and seize the future with their own hands? Tomorrow remains uncertain. But the Sun will show them the way. Author's Note: Inspired by the Wuxia/Xianxia genre the magic system is comprised of cultivating through different Worlds of power, where each World offers more strength and abilities. Currently there are five Worlds known: Essence Practitioner, Essence Channeler, Essence Warrior, Essence Conquerer, and finally Essence Ruler. (And for the best reading experience I recomend altering your width setting to about 70 or 80 percent on desktop.) Table of Contents: Prologue Part 1: Homecoming (chapters 1-12) Part 2: Journey (chapters 13-25) About 70 percent complete. I'll update this figure over time and begin posting again after I finish it and go through several rounds of editing.
