《SimpleMinded》Snowball Fight!
Advertisement
I wake up to Rafiki jumping on me. I open my eyes, "Why are you jumping on me?" He claps his hands and I push him by his forehead. He holds his head and sticks his tongue out at me.
I get up and go brush my teeth. Haven comes in seconds later. "Niall, we came in here to talk about the guy that is paying for these people to kidnap." Ty says as they all come in to sit on my bed. I come out of the bathroom, "What about it?"
Kylie sighs, "We already know he's somewhere in the UK." I arch my eyebrow, "He's not in the UK. He's doing that to trick us and you all fell for it." They look at me with confusion all in their eyes, "I asked my dad about this unknown man and he told me that he wouldn't come back here. He's putting himself at risk if he were to come back to this country. He's nowhere near us, he sends people to make his deals. He talks on the phone with the people, but from what we know he never tells them their name. No one knows what he looks like."
I look at Rylee, "Email my dad the rest of the cases. I'm done for now. We're going to solve this on our own when we go back home." She nods her head, "What are we going to do?" Jay and Ty stand up, "Me and Jay are going to go downstairs to the indoor pool! That's what we're going to do!" Ty says as he takes his shirt off and runs to his room.
I arch my eyebrow, "I'm coming with." Jay follows behind Ty. I look at Haven, "You wanna go?" She nods her head, "Just my feet." I go in her suitcase and get her swimsuit out. I brought her a different one. It is a black and grey two-piece. "Me and Kylie are coming too. Don't you leave us."
I change into my trunks and help Haven change into her swimsuit. I put a towel around her and she looks up at me, "If you walk downstairs without the towel over you, many men will be looking at you like you are a piece of meat." She bends down and picks up Bean. Rafiki climbs up my leg and sits on my right shoulder.
We all head downstairs to the pool. They all jump in and come back up screaming, "This water cold as hell!!" Rylee shouts as she tries to climb out of the water, but Ty pulls her back in.
Haven sits at the edge of the pool and I jump in. "The day I get to wear shorts outside will be the day I will cry of happiness. I hate the cold." Bean and Rafiki jump in and swim towards me. I go underwater and swim towards Haven.

I come from under the water and she reaches over to touch my hair. She pushes it out of my face and laughs, "Better." I wrap my arms around her legs and laugh.
An hour later we all decide to race around the pool. Loser has to buy the winner drinks. "Let me call it, Jay you better not cheat." Ty says as we get ready to swim. "On your mark. Get set. Go!" Rylee takes the lead quickly, but the rest of us all thought the same thing by pulling her back.
She grabs Ty by the head and puts his head underwater. Jay tries to grab me, but I splash him and Kylie pushes his head under the water. I come in first, Kylie second, Ty third, Rylee fourth, and Jay last. He starts pouting and we all laugh at him.
I look over to where Haven is sitting and see that she's not there. I quickly become alert, "Haven? Where did Haven go?" I quickly get out of the pool and look around. I don't see her anywhere around the pool. "Haven! Kylie go check the women's locker room." She nods her head and rushes to the locker room.
I see a man sitting down, "Excuse me, sir, have you seen a woman sitting there. She's dark skin and has curly hair." He shakes his head slowly, "No, I haven't seen her." I run my fingers through my wet hair. "She's not in the locker room."
I look around the pool once more, "This is not happening right now. This is not fucking happening right now!!" I walk out of the pool area and look around the lobby. I go to the front desk, "Have you seen a dark skin woman with long, curly hair walk by." The woman shakes her head, "No, sir, I haven't." I clench my fist, "Fucking shit!"
"Niall, calm down." I glare at Jay, "How the fuck can I calm down?! We don't know where the fuck she's at!" Before he could say anything, Kylie interrupts him. "Niall, She's right there."
I quickly turn around and see Haven carrying a tray of drinks. I rush up to her and grab her by the shoulders, making her spilling the drinks and making glass go everywhere. "Where the hell did you go?! Why didn't you tell me anything?!" I'm too angry to even care about the fear running through her eyes. "Answer me!"
She covers her ears and whimper, "Haven, why did you disappear without saying a word?! Did you forget why you're under my care?!" A tear rolls down her face, "Get drinks. For everybody. A surprise. I wanted to surprise you and get drinks for everybody." I let her shoulders go and look at the floor. I see shatter glass everywhere along with a puddle of liquid.
"Niall let's finish this up in our room." I slowly nod my head at Rylee suggestion. I reach out for Haven and she steps back. She walks past me and follows everybody else up to the elevator. We get to our room and Haven runs to our room. I let out a long sigh, "I'll go talk to her. Y'all can do whatever." They all watch me as I walk to the back.

I walk in and see Haven on the bed with her back towards me. I close the door, "Did I scare you again?" Without looking at me she nods her head. "Haven, I'm sorry, but you can't just walk off without telling me. What would have happened if something happened to you?" She shrugs her shoulders and I sit on the bed. "Don't go off by yourself. It's too risky. Just make sure you're at least with Rylee and them whenever you want to go off to do something." She nods her head, "Can you look at me?"
She shakes her head and I reach over and start tickling her. She starts squealing and laughing, "There's the beautiful laugh!" I stop tickling her and she looks up at me, "Are you still scared of me?" She shakes her head and I smile. "Haven, I promised you that you wouldn't go back to that dark place. I keep my promises no matter what."
Rafiki comes running in, he starts hitting me. I look at him and he points at his diaper, "Go get a new diaper." He goes to my suitcase and looks for his diaper. I walk to the bathroom and he follows me. It takes no time to change him. "Trash can and nowhere else." He runs off and I walk out of the room and see Haven on my phone.
"What you doing?" She shrugs her shoulders and I laugh. She hands me the phone, "You can change out of that." I look up at the ceiling, "Haven, it's snowing outside. You want to go?" Kylie comes in and I look out the window.
Haven nods her head and Kylie smiles. Haven puts her coat on and we all head outside. Haven bends down and touches the snow. All of sudden I feel a snowball hit me. Look in the direction it came from, "I hope you didn't think we wouldn't have a snowball fight." Rylee looks at me with a smirk and I take my hands out of my pocket.
I pick up some snow and throw it at Ty. He turns around and looks at me with wide eyes, "You did that on purpose! I'm over here trying to build a snowman." He throws some snow back at me and now we're having a full-blown snow fight.
As we're playing I see Haven looking at us. "Come on, pick up some snow." She looks at me and then slowly pick up some snow. She throws it at Jay, "Why me?!" She laughs as he goes after her with some snow. I run after him and throw some snow at him, "Why are throwing snow at me?!" I shrug my shoulders as Haven come behind me, "You just can't attack her."
Haven laughs and picks up some more snow. Before she could even throw it, Kylie throws some snow at her. We turn around and see her and Ty cheering. "There you go!" Ty throws his arm over Kylie's shoulders.
We continue our snow fight for another ten minutes. "I'm done! Let me make a snowman and a snow angel!" Ty shouts as he falls to the ground.
We start helping him make a snowman. "Snow angel?" I look at Haven and see her looking up at me, "Let's make one. Lay down on the ground like this. It's like you're doing jumping jacks, but you're laying down."
She lays down beside me and moves her arms and legs. We get up after some time and look at our work. I pull my phone out and start recording. "Put us in the video!!" Jay shouts as he and Ty start posing. I laugh as I put it on Haven and she looks up at me and laughs.
A gust a wind hit us and we all scream, "I hate the cold!!" We all shout as we run back in the hotel. "Niall, can you make us some hot chocolate?" I look at Kylie and see all of them looking at me with puppy dog faces. I let out a long sigh as we get to our door, "Yeah, I'll make some."
I walk to the kitchen and Haven follows me. I start making hot chocolate for everyone. "Go change into something comfortable. We can all watch a movie together." She walks off to the room and I finish up with everyone's hot chocolate.
They all come into the kitchen and take a mug each. "When are we leaving?" I look at Jay and shrug my shoulders, "I don't know, I want to at least get a hint on where he's at." Haven comes in and she sits at the table. "He's not in the UK. We already settle that. He wouldn't be in any other country but the US, right?" Kylie asks as she wraps herself in a blanket, I shrug my shoulders, "I don't know."
We hear a knock on the door. Ty goes to open the door and in comes my father. "Thanks to you and your team we finished up with the cases." I roll my eyes and he claps his hands, "Niall, let me talk to you for a sec."
We go to my room and he closes the door. "It's about the unknown man. We talked on the phone with him."

Humanity Extinguished
I had the same nightmare again. The loss of my first life continues to haunt me, but now it aches like an old wound. A more grievous injury to my psyche was the losses yet to come and the inevitable hellscape I would return to again and again. Reincarnation is my curse. The lives themselves weren't all that bad. Losing people you cared about hurt and all, but even that pain was preferable to experiencing the nothingness between lives for months at a time. It was enough to drive anyone mad. Now I have to focus on breaking this horrible cycle. Thankfully I have all the time in the world. Trace is an average man driven by extraordinary circumstances in an indifferent and cruel world. His reincarnations give him a few key advantages but also take a heavy toll on him. He lives in a world where magic is uncommon and underpowered compared to the limitless physical adaptations you can acquire by getting your hands a little bloody. This story is one of hardship and terrible lows, but also monumental achievements and grand heights. The main character has flaws. While some of these flaws will fade with time, others will worsen. Thank you for taking the time to read my synopsis. I plan to release 2-3 chapters a week. Cover art is 'The Siege and Destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans Under the Command of Titus, A.D. 70' by David Roberts.This art is in the public domain.
