《BE ALRIGHT》16

Lisa's POV
I woke up to the sound of a door shutting so I look up to see Jennie dressed up walking out of the bathroom
"Where are you going?" I asked rubbing my eyes
"Get up, I'm going to jog and you're coming with me" she said walking towards the side to grab a pair of shoes
"Why do I need to come?" I said since I'm still sleepy and my back's aching from this couch
"I'm leaving you here in Vietnam if you won't stand up" she said making me jump out of the couch and drag my feet towards the bathroom. I did my morning routine and looked at my bag and grab the same thing as Jennie but this one's red
I walk out of the bathroom and saw Jennie turn around to look at me
"What the fuck are you wearing?!' She yelled immediately making me chuckle
"What? We're the same" I said smiling widely "it's trendy nowadays for couples you know... We're a couple aren't we?" I said making her roll her eyes and walk out of the room so I chuckle and followed her out and greeted some guards
We head downstairs and saw a couple of guards in their training outfits since they're probably gonna jog with us to also guard us. One of Jennie's guards approached us and lead the stretching thing before they lead us out to start our jogging. Jennie has her AirPods on while we're all just running with her around.
---
After a couple of minutes of running, we stopped at a park and settle down for a bit to rest. The guards immediately run to buy water for all of us while we rest here. I look towards Jennie and she still has her AirPods on so I just talked with some guards instead of looking at Jennie.

I just look around the park while sitting here since Jennie's still resting.
"Hi" I heard someone says from my left side and some guards are already walking towards the group of girls so I told them that it's fine. "You guys look foreign " one of the girls said making me chuckle
"They're Koreans I'm Thai, but I live with them " I said explaining making the girl nod while the others are intently looking at me
"Do you guys enjoy being here in Vietnam? " the other girl asked making me smile
"We've been here for a short time since we just arrived last night but so far it is great here" I said and the other girls are still staring at me
"Is she your best friend? " one of them asked looking at Jennie who's still sitting there not doing anything
"Uh no" I said not trying to be rude "she's uh-" I keep pausing not knowing if Jennie will still pull off the girlfriend thing while we're here in Vietnam
"Girlfriend" Jennie continue for me while she still has her AirPods on so the group of girls nodded and bid goodbye before leaving
"I thought you're listening to something " I said looking at her
"And that gave you the right to flirt with other people while sitting next to me? " she said standing up "let's go back to the hotel I still have some things to do" she said and started walking out
---
We arrived at a company not that far from our hotel and I can see how much the staff knows who Jennie is since they're all looking and bowing at her for a sign of respect.
"Jennie Kim" I called out while we're walking towards the entrance of the company "are you jealous earlier? " I asked and the look on her face makes me laugh

"You wish Manoban. That's for.... media play" she said making me roll my eyes
"There are no media around anyway" I said not believing her excuse as we went in being greeted by some rich-looking old men.
---
After Jennie met the old men earlier they just tour us around the company while talking about their business and partnership type of thing which I barely understand since like Jennie said I have a lower IQ. We went home right after that since we will be having dinner with the people earlier more like a dinner meeting.
We dressed up in a semi-formal outfit before going to the elegant Vietnamese restaurant. They led us to a table as we both sat down after greeting everyone. The meeting is pretty boring for me cause I'm not really into those type of conversation which is all about business. I sat there with my phone until our foods arrived and one man who Jennie has been talking to earlier which is probably the CEO of the company earlier told us that we can start eating but I look over at Jennie who's putting the pizza on her plate aside and started eating the steak instead so I leaned a bit closer to her ear so we can just talk lowly.
"You don't want pizza? " I asked and she looked at me a bit shaking her head so I nodded and grabbed her pizza putting it on my plate and transferring my stake to her plate so she can eat more.
Once we're all done eating they started saying thank you to Jennie and me and Jennie listens while drinking her wine
"Hopefully we'll see the both of you in your wedding soon" the CEO said making Jennie choke on her wine making me chuckle as I pat her back.
---
"Lisa" I heard Jennie said from the bed while I'm putting pillows on the couch
"Yeah? " I asked looking back at her who's laying already on her bed
"You can sleep here" she said patting the space right beside her making my brows raise up
"Are you thinking about the wedding that they said earlier?" I said jokingly as I heard her groan
"Don't sleep here" she said making me laugh as I grab my pillows to go next to her.
I lay down beside her while she's watching some random TV show. I looked at her face and just kept staring until she turns her head to look at me
"If you won't stop staring I'll drag you back on the couch" she said and I immediately smiled shaking my head
"Goodnight Jennie Kim "

In a world where the gods' gift a chosen few with great powers, Sam Shepard is among the weakest of the weak. His crappy healing ability can’t even cure minor injuries without having to drain Sam’s own life-force to do it. Hero society doesn't think he's useful, and after failing to heal those he was tasked to save, Sam couldn't help but agree. It’s why he quit. But it turns out that giving up the hero life isn’t easy, not when one’s caught in the machinations of the gods themselves. After Sam gets pulled into rescuing the hero, Thunder, he inherits a strange power from her; the training system that taught her how to become a top hero. It apparently holds the secret to leveling up one's power, a feat no one knew was possible. Not that it'll be easy to achieve... A series of challenging missions and the occasional hero lesson from the system’s creator guarantee a lot of cuts and bruises in Sam's immediate future.

Awakening an ancient civilization from their past may be their only hope now. A spiraling doom awaits the world of Isulia. **************** I put the gore warning not because my book is overly gory (It's not constantly blood and guts). However, there are several moments that are extremely violent. I've always loved shows/movies such as, (The Expanse, The Boys, Banshee, Kingdom of heaven, Vikings, Attack on Titan, Baccano, etc.) I am descriptive of the scenes with violence. So be warned :) I've worked long and hard and have finally finished my third draft. Still needs work but everything storywise is complete. There are still a few things I need to add and tweak. Grammatical errors and flushing out the characters and dialogue still needs work. If you see any errors or plot holes, please feel free to point them out. It helps me improve upon the story.

Witchbone: The Goblins Winter
Themes found in these stories include friendship, found family, defying negative expectations, trying to figure out how to be a force for good in your corner of the world, doing heroic things even if you don't look or feel like a hero, and that being different isn't necessarily fatal. Summary: A spell of arctic weather. A mysterious death. The reading of a will. Strange tracks in the snow. Eleven-year-old Danny Hallow accepts his life, such as it is. His father is dead, his mother left years ago. His three Keepers are the only people aware of Danny's erratic and not-very-impressive psychic abilities. He has no friends, he's been suspended from school, and he's responsible for the life of a small brown bat that's ended up in his care. When Danny's estranged Uncle Enoch dies under mysterious circumstances, he and his Keepers are called to the town of Eddystone, New Hampshire for the reading of the man's will. Traveling four hundred miles from his dreaded hometown to attend, Danny is happy to get away, possibly inherit something interesting- and maybe find out more about his family while he's there. Arriving at the crumbling family estate of Gnomewood Home, he finds it to be hauntingly familiar, a bit creepy, oddly comforting, and possibly alive. When his uncle's will reveals that he's inherited Gnomewood and everything in it, he's determined to stay and make a happier life for himself in Eddystone, somehow. But at Gnomewood, he finds more questions than answers to his family's secrets. Disturbing old memories come to him in dreams. His psychic abilities begin to grow stronger, and as a result he becomes aware that a horde of cryptic creatures are plaguing the town of Eddystone, seemingly drawn out by the spell of an unusually frigid February. Toothy little goblins that are sneaky, vicious, and hungry. Goblins that take a particular interest in Danny. Will the emergence of the alien, and potentially dangerous, power he's inherited from his peculiar family tree help Danny survive the goblin infested winter, inadvisable attempts to befriend a terrifying boy with silver eyes, and a new school? Only if he learns to control them before they put him and everyone around him in danger. Before they convince some people that he should never have been allowed to exist at all. Before he becomes just another twisted tale in his family's bizarre history, kept hidden for centuries within the ivy-covered walls of Gnomewood Home.

Fallen
Hundreds of years ago, the servant god Elsyn declared that they would destroy humanity entirely, explaining it as their duty as humanity’s peacekeeper. When the gods saw it fit to send someone to oppose the fallen servant, Iztris—the gods’ own servant and follower—visits Cheryn. Iztris requests the aid of Alyson and Jacob, the oldest two heirs of Cheryn and the only ones given the gods’ offer of the ‘assurance of victory,’ and the heirs agree. There will come a time when humanity does fall—but none of them would allow that to happen by the hands of a being just as flawed as mortals. I recommend reading the story by volume, instead of by the order the chapters were posted. This story was beta read by Mad Sadie. Many thanks! Please note that some characters use different pronouns depending on the chapter’s view and the speaker. Iztris, for example, is referred to with neutral pronouns by Elsyn (in most cases) and themself, and after being introduced as such they are referred to with male pronouns by Alyson and Jacob.
