"Morning Astrid." Hope says and sits down next to me.
"Morning Hope." I say and take a drink of my coffee.
"What are you working on?"
"My sister of the bride/maid of honor speech." I say as I jot down some ideas.
"Ahh." Hope says and sips on her coffee. "I take it Tobin's still asleep too."
"I heard the shower going in my room so I assume she's showering."
"Oh good your up." Mom says.
"Mom I've been up for two hours." I say.
"Oh." Mom says then pulls out a list. "I need you and your sister to get these things done for me by 4 o'clock."
"Yes Ma'am." I say as I read over the list.
"Thank you." Mom says and kisses my head. "You and Kelley use your cards then your father or I will Venmo you later."
"Okay."
"Love you." Mom says and leaves.
"Love you too."
"I'll get Kelley up." Hope says and heads to my Twins room.
I go pour out my coffee then grab my notes and head to my room.
"Morning Boo Bear." I say then kiss Tobin's cheek
"Morning Beautiful." Tobin says and kisses my cheek.
"I think I'm gonna be sick." Kelley says from behind me.
"Do you need something Kelley?" I ask.
"When are we leaving?" Kelley asks.
"After you've showered." I say.
"Okay." Kelley says and shuffles back down to her room so I close the door to my room.
"Are we going somewhere?" Tobin asks.
"We have to go get some things for tonight and get some lunch." I say as I put my notes away so Kelley can't find them.

"How many people are coming tonight?" Tobin asks as I sit on my bed
"A lot." I say and pull my girlfriend so she's standing in-between my legs then I hug her waist and rest my head on her abs.
"You okay?" Tobin asks as she runs her fingers through my air.
"It hit me this morning that in a couple days we'll be separated for the first time in a month." I say then look up at my girl. "I'm gonna miss waking up with you in my arms, being with you all day, and going to bed with you."
"I know baby." Tobin says with a soft smile. "But we'll be together in Camp, for SheBelieves, and for Kelley's wedding."
"But then we'll be separated again."
"Is everything okay Astrid?" Tobin softly asks.
"......I don't know if I want to play anymore." I admit. "You're my safety blanket and it's getting harder and harder to be away from you."
"So retirement?" Tobin questions.
"At the end of the season maybe."
"Okay." Tobin says. "Well think about it some more, but for right now let's go get some food then get that stuff for your parents."
"Okay." I mumble then Tobin leans down.
"Everything will work itself out baby." Tobin whispers then she softly kisses me. "And I'll be right beside you for all of it."

"Baby can you help me?" Tobin says from the bathroom.
"Of course." I say then walk into the bathroom. "Holy shit."
"What?" Tobin asks while looking a me through the mirror.
"You look beautiful." I say as I look over my girlfriend.
Tonight our family is hosting our annual New Years Eve party.

"Thanks." Tobin says while blushing then she holds out her necklace. "Can you help me?"
"Of course." I say and take the necklace.
Tobin moves her hair out of the way so I put the necklace around my girlfriends neck then clasp it together.
"There we go." I say then kiss Tobin's neck. "All set."
"LET'S GO LOVE BIRDS." Kelley yells outside the door.
"OKAY." I shout back then lead Tobin out of the bathroom.
The two of us grab our things then we leave the room and head to the garage.
"You're driving." Kelley says and tosses me the golf cart keys.
"Alright." I say then Tobin and I get in the front seat while Kelley and Hope get in the back seat.
I start the golf cart then make the five minute drive over to our grandparents barn where the party is being held. When we get to the barn I park by the door then the four of us head inside.
"Is the party always this packed?" Tobin asks as I lead her through the sea of people.
"This is nothing." Kelley says while leading Hope. "There will be a lot more people here when it gets closer to midnight."
"Wow."
"Hello Family." Kelley says when we get to the area set up for our family to hang.
"Hey twins." Jerry says and hugs me and Kelley.
"Thank you for getting all that stuff." Dad says.
"Of course." I say as the music switches to Kelley's song.
"Come on." Kelley says and grabs my hand. "Let's dance."
"Alright Kelley." I say and follow my twin to the dance floor
Once on the dance floor Kelley and dance to the rhythm of the song then we continue to dance together.
Seven songs later Hope and Tobin come over so I spin Kelley to Hope then start dancing with my Boo Bear.
"I didn't know you could dance like that." Tobin says as she wraps her arms around my neck.
"Kelley and I used to dance a lot as children." I say and wrap my arms around her waist. "But I can also dance in ways that aren't appropriate for this party."
"Maybe you can show me later." Tobin says with a smirk.
"I think that can be arranged."
Tobin and I dance for a few more songs before we head over to the food and fill our plates then we get our drinks and sit down in the family area. The two of us eat and talk with people for a couple hours until the count down begins. As the beginning of the countdown starts everyone heads out side for the fire works show.
When the countdown gets to 5 I wrap Tobin in my arms then look at my girl.
"I love you Tobin." I says.
"I love you Astrid." Tobin says.
"HAPPY NEW YEARS." Everyone yells.
As the first fireworks go off I lean down and passionately kiss my girlfriend.
"Happy New Years baby." Tobin says with a smile.
"Happy New Years Boo Bear."

Quantum Worlds (A LitRPG dark fantasy)
Find the missing VIP in an illegal game world. Kill the monsters. Return home for the paycheck. Decorated Marine commander, Damon Williams, never thought his latest mission would take place in a full-immersion world fighting monsters… but when a high-value VIP disappears after being stealthily transported to a banned MMORPG, he's their only hope. Damon must lead a group of rescuers into an unforgiving world infested with terrifying monsters and worse. Pain is real. Death is permanent. He and his crew must adapt quickly, trust each other, and fight to survive. And if all that's not bad enough, they'll also have to race against time to avoid the realm’s disintegration and mutation effects. Quantum Worlds features race and class designations, unique creatures, dungeon crawling, level progression and Easter eggs that reference video games and pop culture. This a dark fantasy, but it also has sprinklings of humor throughout. It is a multi-cast, multi-pov story. In many ways, it is a melding of one of my favorite novels, “The Stand”, with my favourite genre, LitRPG. I don’t espouse to be anywhere near Stephen King, but I would like to think that I have succeeded in many areas here (you’ll be the judge of that). So, this thriller-style story has a lot of build-up and lots of drama. When it hits the 100-page mark, it starts to take off with some intense action and fight scenes (although there are battles long before that). Nothing comes easy for this group of rescuers. And the dangers are very real. This saga is already over 100 chapters with more to come. I hope you enjoy it and look forward to your reviews, comments, and feedback. Thanks. Chapters are uploaded every day at noon ET. Please do not repost this work anywhere without my written permission. Quantum Worlds is a participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge.

Ashen Skies
Father. Allfather. He who was crowned twice. It has been ages since you have ascended. Since you were crowned with godhood for a second time. Since you have left an empire for us to dwell in, to defend. I yearn for an answer; why have you forsaken us! With you gone, your people have grown weak, complacent, and proud. Proud of who they are, proud of their blood. That pride blinds their eyes and clouds their minds. They are fools, for they have forgotten the ways of the past. They have forgotten the fears of old. The one you had to bind until the end of the time. They have forgotten the dark beast with red jewels for eyes. The Wargr gnaws the walls of his cage even now as I write. Itching for the taste of blood. I ask for forgiveness, for until a while ago I too was one of them. I thought I saved your children from the foretold doom. I now realize the hordes of foes we buried were just like us. No fearsome beasts, no harbingers of doom. Mortals of different flesh, different kind. But I am awakened from that dream now. I see it. Every time I close my eyes, I see it. The cold descends as the Dark walks the land, And the crimson stars shine beneath, as the ashen storm claims the realm. I hear the beast roar as the chains of Rukh crack, Only then I know. Only then I realize. That it’s the end. Descend to earth one more time. Save the puny souls that are us. If not, if you let my dreams come true; then will all die under an ashen sky. Leol, a son of Vaella

Sinopsis: El protagonista despierta en un lugar extraño, sin poder moverse, hablar o hacer algo al respecto ... o eso creia.

Pero al menos puede crear lo que imagine. Longitud de cada capitulo: Aproximadamente 3900- 5000 palabras. Trato de que cada capitulo sea largo. Que espero como Autor: Si te ha gustado la historia o hay partes que no te gustan o no comprendes, comenta. Me ayudaria a saber como mejorar.
