I walk into my the hotel room with the biggest smile on my face,but the smile disappeared once I stepped inside and saw Gabbie's face. I roll my eyes and go into the bathroom. "Are you going to ignore me the rest of the trip?"Gabbie yells and asks. "Depends,are you going to keep making out with my boyf-",I stopped myself because I realized I might be free,Ethan told me he didn't need me,therefore I don't need him.
I open the bathroom door and walk towards Gabbie, "I'm not going to stand here and make a big scene about some douchebag,you can have him. Keep him actually"I say rolling my eyes and getting in bed,laying down next to Jessie.
"Hey"Jessie mumbled. "Hey"I say. "I'm going for a walk" Gabbie says letting out a sigh,leaded by an eye roll. She steps out of our hotel room,slamming the door.
"How was the mall?"Jessie asked sitting up on the bed. "Good,really good actually"I responded. "What is that supposed to mean?"Jessie asked squinting her eyes. "Nothing ,it was just really calming spending time on my own" I say.
I know Alex and I hooking up,for the second time,isn't a big deal but it might be to Jessie. If she found out I was sleeping with her brother,she'd probably end us.
"So Gabbie told me what happened,I'm sorry"Jessie says. I didn't care to much anymore. "It's okay,things happen. Ethan isn't worth the fight"I respond. "Took you long enough to realize it"Jessie says leaded by an eye roll. I scoff and raise an eyebrow at Jessie,"What is that supposed to mean?."
"Just,he's not good for you"Jessie adds.
Jessie was right, Ethan is not good for me,but I wish she expressed her feelings sooner.

"Why is the line so long?"I ask standing on my tippy toes peeking at everyone in front of us.
The line in the hotels cafe was longer than a one direction concert in 2011.
"Everyone's here for dinner,half of our sophomore class is here for dinner"Jessie says as she let out a gentle laugh. "What are we laughing about?"says a voice behind us. I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I saw Gabbie face.
I know,I said this whole Ethan thing didn't matter but Gabbie and I were actually once close,therefore I didn't expect her to do what she did.
"Beka,can we talk?"Gabbie asks me. I let out a sigh of annoyance and give in ,"Yeah,whatever"I say before Gabbie and I step out of line and go to an empty corner.
"Listen,I really am sorry about what happened"Gabbie begins.
"I'm listening"I remarked.
"I really didn't know how serious you and Ethan were,he didn't mention it really. And we were drunk so I wasn't really thinking- we weren't really thinking"Gabbie says as she sticks up for both her and Ethan.
I have a flashback of Alexs' and I's hookup and suddenly understood.
"It's okay. Honestly"I say. "Just didn't expect this from you"I add.
"I didn't expect it from myself"Gabbie says with a scoff. "I guess I just focused to much on having fun and letting lose".
"Clearly".
"So we're good?"Gabbie asks. "Yeah. Sorry I overreacted"I respond. "It's okay,and I promise it won't happen again. No feelings around here"Gabbie says lifting her hands in surrender.

Hiraeth: Promise of the World
On a rainy night, a young woman is transported to the enchanting world of Sol'h'meyr. Thrilled to be freed from the shackles of monetary survival and societal expectations on Earth, she embraces her newfound existence and magical powers bestowed. But the rose-tinted fantasy life she always dreamed of turns out to be a stark reality that poses to kill her if she doesn't adapt and let go of her past. Essairyn battles both cripping nostalgia and imminent danger in her journey from the Spirit and Demon Forest to the human realm of As'pyze. Disillusionment leading to anger has erupted into violence across the deceptively peaceful land. New friends and allies gather by her side, but tragedy and betrayal lurk closer than she realizes. Hiraeth is the idyllic beginning tainted with dark shadows in the epic fantasy series, Singularity Cycle.

While the entire series story has undergone major changes in the last year, all books have been planned since the beginning of writing. It is also my second wish to eventually make this story into a webcomic, either by myself or with a team if possible. Thank you for taking this journey with me, and enjoy reading! ( You can alternatively read books in the series as standalone fictions, but they connect to one another though a running theme and mystery that evolves and progresses with the main character. ) Alternate Blurb for the Singularity Cycle series: Essairyn had never felt truly alive on Earth. It felt like something was missing ever since she was born, but even after nearly 20 years of mundane living, she could never pinpoint what this or the emptiness in her heart was. Suddenly, she awakens in a grandiose, primordial forest and encounters mythical creatures beyond her restless imagination in a parallel world called Sol'h'meyr. She befriends, in particular, a sassy fox-spirit named Akari who reincarnated after three millennia. Essairyn is gifted with abnormal magic, and Akari is being chased by those of her dark past. Together, they set out on an adventure in a world more dangerous than its beautiful facade could hide. Finding new friends along a path riddled with tragedy, Essairyn must learn who to trust as deceit and betrayal lie behind kindly faces. Life in this deceptively promising world slowly spirals down a path of no return. This is not a game, but cruel reality. Her simple adventure became the modest beginnings in a chain of disruptions that tore even the dimensional fabric of time and space. No one, not even Essairyn, was who she thought they were. And not even the fickle gods could change the time-worn destiny of the universes... A single promise shook eternity’s existence.

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.

Two fox-kin siblings set out to serve a human king, hoping to secure ties with the royals that had formed in times of war. Yet, much is demanded of them as their father's reputation precedes them. They find the King struggling to keep his vassals from breaking the terms of the armistice. With reports of smuggling increasing and the nation's strategic resources at stake, their father is sent to oversee the border. The king, fearing for his own children, hopes for six more months. Meanwhile, tavern brawls turn bloody as a cry spreads across the land, "Loyalty? Or bread!". What to expect: - cold steel weapons with magic- colonial-esque era- elements of strategy (including logistics)- powerful mages that can't block a crossbow bolt. Except for some earth mages.- realistic depictions of violence. I don't care to focus on it. - other races introduced eventually, if they fit. - Australian english, except when I slip. Not much slang though, I reckon.
