"Niall!! Niall!!" I open my eyes, "Haven!! Haven!! Where are you?!"
"Niall! Calm down, she's not here anymore!" Adam says as he tries to calm me down, "Fuck that!! Haven! Come on, please just tell me she's just hiding." He shows me a saddened face and I drop my head.
I look back up and see blood everywhere, "I thought we were all dead. What happened?" Rylee stands up and looks at me, "She shot us with some type of tranquilizer. I was the first one to wake up. When I woke up I found this little tranq in my neck. Niall, yours is still in your neck." I pull the tranq out my neck and look at it.
I stand up and rub my neck, "That woman didn't kill us for a reason. All we know is that the man name is William and the woman name is Hana." We hear a knock on the door, "We know where they're heading next. We'll get Haven back when they move."
My dad says as he walks in, "What are you doing here?" He shows me a small smile, "I had a gut feeling that something would be happening. I guessed I should have listened to my gut a little bit sooner."
I hear a low groan and turn around and see that one of their men is still alive, "Jay and Ty, take him to an empty room and tie him up."
"Well, if it isn't Nervous and Shithead. How have you two been doing?" Nervous smiles at me, "We've been doing fine, we just got promoted to work on your dad team." I look at Shithead and he rolls his eyes, "Still shitty, aren't we?" He gives me this finger, "I didn't know you rolled that way."
"Niall, what happened? I know he took Haven. What else happened?" I look at my dad and rubbed my neck, "Some woman named Hana shot us with a tranquilizer. I don't know why she kept us alive, but all I know is that we're lucky."
I walk to my room and close the door, "Niall, you okay?" I hear Clare ask me from the other side, "Yeah, I just need to be by myself for a little bit." I sit down on the bed with a heavy sigh.
That last look I saw in Haven's eyes was fear. She told me she loved me with fear in her eyes. I fall back on the bed and close my eyes, "I'm coming for you, Haven."

I pull out my phone and laugh at my lock screen and home screen. On my lock screen, there's a picture of me and Haven taking a selfie. On my home screen, there's a picture of me, Haven, Bean, and Rafiki.
My dad comes in and I look at him, "You said a woman named Hana shot you, right?" I nod my head and his eyes widen, "That's the same woman who helped us save Haven."
I stand up quickly, "What do you mean she helped you save Haven?! If she helped you, then why did she take Haven back?!" I walk out and go to the living room, "That Hana is up to something. She's helping us."
Jay stands up, "What do you mean she's helping us? She shot us and helped William get away with Haven." I tie my hair in a messy bun and look at the board we have set up.
"Correction, she tranquilized us. We know for sure they're moving to Cuba. When that happens we will have to find their hiding spot. That's going to be the hardest part once that happens." I look at my dad with a questioning look, "Why is she helping us? Why did she help you in the past?"
He shrugs his shoulders, "I asked her the same thing last time, but she didn't answer me. She just showed me a sad look and told me to keep Haven safe." Hana looked around our age, but maybe a little bit older.
My eyes widen, "What's Haven ethnicity?!"
"Make sure everything is packed safe and sound. We leave for Cuba in an hour." I walk to Haven's room and see her sitting in the middle of her bed facing the wall.
"Angel, it's me. You feeling alright?" She slowly looks at me, "Niall, where's Niall?" I show her a small smile as I close the door behind me, "Niall's dead. Hana killed him and his team."
She covers her ears and silently cries, "No!! He's still alive!! Niall said he would be there for me!! No!!" I walk up to her and she flinches away from me, "Niall lied to you. If he was there for you, you wouldn't be here right now."
"William. Why must you get off bullying her?" I turn around and see Hana in the doorway, "Who said I was bullying her? I was just telling her that Niall is dead and that he lied to her." She rolls her eyes, "Get out, I have to change her into some new clothes. I'll bring her down once I'm done."

I step away from Haven and laugh, "Do get too cocky. Isn't it sad that she doesn't even remember you?" Next thing I know there's a knife to my neck and furious Hana glaring at me, "You can't kill me. Don't you want to know the whereabouts of your parents?" I laugh as she pulls the knife away from me.
"I'll leave you to your girl time." She throws the knife at me and I dodge it with ease. "See you at the limo." I close the door and Hacker comes up to me, "I've already shipped our stuff to Cuba at our new hideout. Is there anything else you want me to do?" I rub the young boy head and smile, "Nope, that was all. Let's go and wait in the limo for Hana."
Thirty minutes later Hana comes down with a guard caring Haven over his shoulder. "What did you do?" The guard puts my unconscious angel in the limo. "She was putting up a fight, so I hit her pressure point." Hana sits beside her and put Angel head on her lap.
"We'll be on the jet in no time. You got everything, right?" I ask Hana and she looks at me, "Even if I was forgetting something I wouldn't care to go back to get it."
We are finally in Cuba, "The smell of Cuba air is so refreshing." I pick Haven up bridal style and carry her to the house we have hiding in the woods. "Why must you always choose a place so far from the town?"
I look at Hana and she walks past me to unlock the door. We walk in and I carry Haven to her new room. I lay her down on the bed, "You not gone tie her up?" I shake my head, "She's not going anywhere. We're all that she has left, you did kill the people she cared about."
I leave her in the room and go to my office, "Hacker, what are you doing?" He looks up from his computer, "I-I was playing a game, sir. I didn't have anything else to do, I'm sorry." I throw my head back and laugh, "Why are you sorry?" He looks at me, "Sir, will I ever be able to see my parents again?"
I sit down at my desk, "I don't know, I'll think about it."
Haven finally wakes up and frantically looks around the new room. "We moved to a new place. You don't have to worry." I sit beside her and she scoots away from me, "D-Did you really kill Niall?"
I reach out to touch her hair, but she flinches away from me. "You will thank me in the future." Her eyes widen and she then starts crying, "I-I hate you. Get away."
I scoot closer to her and she covers her ears, "Get away!!! Ahh!!! I hate you!! I want to go home!!! I want Niall!!!" Two guards come running in and I glare at them, "Get out! I can handle this myself!" They quickly turn around and close the door behind them.
I wrap my arms around her, "Calm down, I'm here for you. I need you to remember. Remember me and you'll get through this." She tries to get out of my grasp, but I tighten my grip around her, "Let me go!! I hate you!! Niall!! Niall!!"
I feel a tear slowly slide down my face, "Haven, remember. Remember me and everything will be easier for you." I suck in a shaky breath, "I want Niall!!"
"Remember me!!! Haven, the only way you can get through this is if you remember me!!" She stops fighting and cries silently on my chest, "I-I can't remember. I d-don't want to remember." She whispers out and more tears fall down my face, "What was the name you screamed when those men came to save you?"
She looks up at me, "Name?" I nod my head, "Yes, a name. What was the name you said?" A long silence takes over us for five minutes.
She mumbles something after the five minutes. "What did you say?" She scoots away from and hugs herself, "H-Hana." My eyes widen at what just came out her mouth. "Do you remember? Say the name again."
"Hana." I let out a breathless laugh, "Yes, Hana. Hana was the name you said. Who is Hana?"
"The woman I liked while I was in the basement." I quickly nod my head as she starts to remember me, "The woman I wanted to come with me. The woman who killed Niall." She cries after she says her last sentence. "Why did you kill him?"
I wrap my arms around her and she stiffens up. "You will know all of this in a year. I know it seems like a long time, but it will all be worth it. I will be with you for the whole year."
Niall, please wait for the year. Please.

The Arcane Prince
Book 1 is complete and fully posted here on RoyalRoad. The story is on break as I work on Book 2, which will be posted once I have finished writing it. Max is a twelve-year-old boy from the slums who dreams of seeing the world, learning magic, and adventure. On the same day that Max learns his first spell, he meets Colt, a noble-born lad on his own path to power. Colt is kind. Oblivious to the world, but kind. By his grace, Max begins to learn under Colt's instructor, even hunting monsters in the forests to the north. Max is talented and grows in power quickly, but as he prepares for the first of his adventures, the kingdom faces the greatest threat in centuries. Posting Schedule: Every 3 days until the end of Book 1 (Chapter 45). IMPORTANT NOTES: 1) This is a story about an OP boy doing OP boy things. By the end of Book 1, there will be few fights that he struggles with, and he will rarely, if ever, find his life in peril. 2) This is a slice-of-life and adventure story, which means that there will be periods of chapters without any action or conflict, but also periods of chapters with battles and exploration/adventure (the latter mostly being Book 2+). 3) There will be NO petty squabbles or conflicts going on in this story, because it is meant to be a fun one, not a high-tension, drama-filled story. So it will NOT be that. If you want lots of action or lots of conflict, then find another story to read because this isn't it. 4) There will never be an overarching evil/villain/conflict to deal with in this story past Book 1. Ever. 5) Book 1 is entirely written and can be considered a standalone story on its own. Right now, the story may last 2-3 books, or it may last 7-10 books. It is guaranteed to make it through Book 2 or 3, and if I decide to go with the bigger journey I have planned after that, then it will be longer. There will be a several-month wait between Book 1 and Book 2. 6) The story contains the sexual content tag, but it will not contain any unless Max and his future boyfriend reach 18+ years of age in-story. If I decide to bring the story to a conclusion with Book 2 or 3, or they never reach that age in the full story for the long journey, then I will remove the tag. 7) There are currently absolutely no plans to make this story into a harem if I write the extended story. If I write the extended story and decide at some point to make it one, then I will add the appropriate tag and inform readers of this decision. However, there are currently zero plans to make it one. 8) This story takes place in its own story universe, with its own rules. Please keep that in mind when reading it and other stories.

Crimson Gloom
Crimson Gloom. The time when the moon turns crimson, illuminating the landscape with its crimson glow. The time when the ‘doors’ to the Crimson Abyss open. One shall gaze into the abyss and gain its secrets and powers. Concurrently, the abyss also gazes into oneself, gaining one’s sanity and humanity. Dimensional rifts appeared spontaneously on Earth, bringing otherworldly demons along with the Crimson Gloom. Bloody battles were fought, noble sacrifices were made. Humans eventually sealed the rifts and successfully defended their homeworld. Alas, the seals were not perfect. The Crimson Abyss continued to exist, slowly influencing Earth and its inhabitants. Half a century of relatively uneventful years passed… humanity slowly descended into corruption, and the majority of them knew nothing of the effects of the Crimson Abyss. Is there only the dreadful gloom left to the world? Can one find brightness in the increasingly gloomy world? The youth who had gazed into the Crimson Abyss had no answer, nor did he care. He only wanted the Crimson Gloom to end, to forever seal the Crimson Abyss. A mistake and a twist of fate led the youth into a seemingly totally different direction. Will he forget his lifelong goal? Will he instead step back onto his initial path that he fervently pursued? Disclaimer: I do not own the image on the cover. Image edited on canva.com. This piece of work, after all, is only a first draft and by no means an end product by an amateur (beginner) writer. Mistakes are bound to happen. With that said, I will strive to improve as I write. Feel free to point out errors and inconsistencies as you read. I thank you for your time. Finally, I pledge to not rewrite this novel until the first draft is completed.
