Bella's POV
I wonder if this is how Drew felt? Being alone, not having anyone to talk to, feeling frightened that at any moment someone can just come in and hurt you or worse.... kill you.
For the past 12 hours, Drew was all I can think about. How he smiles when I say something funny. How he would give me some of his food. How he is deathly afraid of the dark and how he squeals when any sound is made in the dark. How manly of him, I snort. Although, he has a very good reason to be afraid.
Thinking of him brings a smile to my face. I miss him. I miss how he tried to protect me. I miss his sarcastic comments. Heck, I just miss everything about him. I wonder what he is doing now? If he is ok? I need to get back to him.
"Nix, let me out!" I yell, desperately. Hearing shuffling from the other side of the door, I back up. The door handle moves slowly and is suddenly pushed open.
A small Cokara comes in,sets down a tray of gray slop, and turns to leave. I contemplate if I can escape right now but decide against it since I would be easily found. But then I think of Drew. What would happen if something happened to me? How would he react? Would he even care? Would he miss me?
I figure I would have to find out and in order to do that, I have to leave this room. The Cokara is shuffling out the door, it's grubby hand touching the brass handle of the door. Suddenly, I push the creature down and bolt out the door. The small creature makes a shrieking sound and attempts to get up but it can't. It kinda reminds me of a turtle on its shell. How sad, I think sarcastically, too bad that I need to escape.

I make it to the living room where, not 12 hours ago, I sat eating cookies. I run across the floor, still hearing the shrieks and cries of the small Cokara. Ok, maybe I feel a little bit bad.
Reaching for the door, I pull it open and step out into the hallway. Oh my god! I'm free!! I can make it, I'm going to make!
I run down the series of hallways, trying to remember which ones I took, so I can get back to Drew. After 20 minutes, I finally make it to the front of the warehouse and crouch behind a pedestal that holds a flower pot. I don't see anyone in the room. It's as if they all left to go on the ship. I'm free!
I step out from behind the pedestal only to hear someone clear their throat.
Fuck....

Beyond the Veil
Martin's life would never be the same. He somehow survived a massacre by shady men in black, only to discover they were conspiring with the police. What was he going to do now? But where one life ends, another life begins. One that will learn of magic, and the world beyond the veil. This is a complete rewrite of my first story, The World Beyond the Veil. This is not the same story. Not even a single sentence has been copy-pasted from the original fiction. Readers of the original will recognize a lot of elements, but there are more and more differences as the story progresses. The fiction is planned as a trilogy. The first volume is published. Regarding one of the tags:Sexual Content: There are no explicit sex scenes in the story. On the other hand, it is definitely a story meant for an adult audience, with plenty of references to sex and genitalia. If you're not comfortable with that, maybe steer away from this story. I am very interested in feedback. Let me know if you spot a plot hole or something else that seem off to you.

Beyond the Horizon's Eye
It is less than two weeks after the event known as the Flux Causality, and two days after the Grand Council has put forth the edict demanding the immediate retrieval and deletion of all Stringhoppers. Finding such Travelers, however, is proving more difficult than expected. A young boy and his sister find themselves violently taken from their world to another, and soon thereafter are forcibly separated. Now sold into slavery, the young man must find not only a reason to survive but a purpose to carry him home. The journey has just begun, and the hardest step is always the first one. ~ This is my attempt at both the Xianxia/Wuxia and Portal/Isekai genre of fiction that I love, and the means to provide a story set in such guidelines, while distancing myself from some of the more common tropes. I do hope you enjoy the story I shall endeavor to tell. ~ Average post between 1000 - 3000 words. This is a work in progress, and will be edited and adjusted over time. If you’re interested in something a bit more GameLIT, you might want to check out my second story on Royal Road, “The Dawnfire Archives”. My newest story is a combination of both genres, but with a female main character at the helm. Feel free to check out "The Card Thief of Culnivar"!
