Shoo

Qhuartz, pemukiman kecil yang memiliki masa lalu kelam didatangi oleh seorang pemuda dari antah-berantah.

Seraphine Patrick is a sweet, cheerful, and innocent girl who was born without an iris. A misfortune she had come to settle with while living in the outskirts of the village. She learned the act of self-reliant at a tender age when she lost the only parent she had ever known - her father. With the help of an eccentric old man, she worked in a pawn shop where she met a close-off, cold, and self-absorbed pure blood vampire, Xavier Orsini. Xavier is a cursed vampire whose birth disrupted the cosmic balance - he was not meant to be born. Due to his mother's misdeed, her punishment was to watch the child she went to a great length to conceive suffer throughout his lifetime. The path of Seraphine and Xavier not only crossed but their fate became intertwined when Seraphine was blessed with the eyes of a powerful spiritual being, Phemerah. Not only did Seraphine needed Xavier's protection from different species who would go to any lengths to possess the eyes, but he's also one of the few people who had no desire to aquire the eyes for himself. Xavier also discovered that with Seraphine's newfound abilities, there could be a way for his curse to be lifted. In the course of working together to achieve their goals, the two creatures with opposite traits found something more during their adventurous journey. ********** Excerpt: Few hours later when the sun was at its peak, true to Phemerah's word, her eyes fluttered open. "Oh thank the spirit god," the moon goddess jumped from where she had been sitting not quite long to rest her feet. Quickly moving to the bed, she offered her a glass of water, "are you all right, dear? Vamprith moved closer and brushed her locks aside, patting her carefully, "I'm fine." She replied with a raspy voice. "Is everything okay?" They asked, one doesn't need to ask about her power which has clearly left her body, the radiant skin is not the only give away but also the change in the color of her eyes, all trace of purple or lavender was gone, replace by brown eyes which marched her hair. "I'm fine" she repeated. "We both felt your abilities when it blessed our people, the surge of power in my wolves' limbs was enough to know they had gotten stronger." The Vampire King agreed, "I felt the agility in my vampires' body as well. The lightness in weight and strength in their power are enough sign that they have gotten stronger." The Moon goddess could not keep her curiosity at bay, "what about the eyes?" Phorus at that moment barged in, not minding that he could be punished for his rudeness, all he cared about was seeing his mistress. The goddess glared at him, just when she wanted to hear the location of the most powerful thing, "what insolence!" with narrowed eyes at Phorus for the rude interruption. Phorus bowed immediately, "forgive me my lady, I couldn't help but see for myself that that Lady Mine was awake, hale and hearty" "Do that again next time and you'll lose that eyes of yours, never to see your dear mistress anymore" she declared after Phemerah gave her an apologetic look for Phorus' behavior. "Dear Phorus, as you can see, I'm fine. I told you everything will be all right" "I'm glad you really are, Lady Mine, I thought I would never see you again." Not one to be patient for too long, the Moon goddess shooed him away so Phemerah could continue her speech. "So, what about the eyes?" "I don't know exactly where they are but I'm sure they are still in the Spirit realm; I can still feel them searching for a worthy abode. I'll know when they reside in another." "Is it possible to reside in a wolf" "Of course, species don't matter to them, they will reside in whoever they deem fit." "What if the worthy one is not yet born?" Said the Sun king "They will wait, even if they had to wait for centuries; they will. **********

Bai Yu transmigrated into a book. She looked at the words on the gate, "Psychiatric Hospital", and fell deep in thought. She could tolerate transmigrating into a book, but it felt awful to transmigrate as a psychiatric patient. Besides, all she did was read this book's synopsis... However, Bai Yu soon began to feel that her days spent here weren't all that bad. That's because patients in this psychiatric hospital were treated very well, and she was practically being treated like a VIP. She had food, shelter, and people to serve her. When her stepmother tried to cause trouble for her, Bai Yu picked up a lamp and started hitting her with it. "Help! Someone wants to hurt me, the queen!" 'Since I'm mentally ill, I don't have to bother with reason. Don't mess with me!' Bai Yu thought. Her stepmother cried in surprise. She never dared to visit Bai Yu again. Just like that, Bai Yu continued to enjoy her peaceful life. However, one day, she realized she was actually married. How did that happen? Did people with mental illnesses not have rights? Why didn't she know she was married? Why didn't anyone discuss such an important matter with her first? The Bais really shouldn't have hit her and turned her into a mentally challenged person... "You're mentally ill, and he's also mentally ill. You're a match made in heaven," the Bais said. After that, Bai Yu questioned her family in a 'friendly' manner. Her fiance, who was also a patient in the psychiatric hospital, saw her in person. He shooed everyone away with his agile moves. "Are you also pretending? What a coincidence," he said with slightly glistening eyes. "To be honest, I'm God's daughter, and I'm here to save the world..." Bai Yu said in a serious tone.Liu Xu's mouth twitched. "Do you think I'm blind?"

And above all else, she was able to save him, that silly man who refused to leave her as she laid there dying. Yet, was this truly just a dream? An accident happened, faces that shouldn't be here are showing up, hidden truths are unveiled, and the looming guillotine set to fall is not waiting for anyone to stop it. Ever since Hong Luo woke up, all she wants to do is to peacefully live out her retirement, wasting the day away over a cup of tea, sleep in past noon, and to tend to her garden and carvings. Revenge? She wants no part of it. You have problems? Well, you also have two working hands and legs, she'll leave you to it. You want her to work? Are you dying? You're not? Then please leave. There are other healers just as good as her right around the corner. Luckily her guard is very competent in shooing away trouble. She beckons him over, "Come sit with me." Shamelessly he embraces her and sits back on the chair with her in his lap. Hong Luo "That's not what I meant." "I'm sitting with you, am I not?" Hong Luo "...Well, you aren't wrong." "Mmm." Hong Luo "...ugh, fine. Do as you please." _ [Warning, some chapters will get bloody and gruesome. That r18 is there for a reason.] This is a slow burn fantasy, slice of life story with romance, self healing, mystery, natural disasters, a bit of politics, couple growth, and a lot of world building. I really enjoying world building and history to said world, so there's a lot of that in there. So if you enjoy any of these, you just might enjoy this wee story of mine.

He kept insisting she took advantage of him when they were young and insisted that she take full responsibility for him. 20 years ago: "Little girl, you really need to take responsibility on this young master when we are older. I am never going to let you go." He whispered into her ears. Due to his illness, he somehow grew up a little mature than peers his age.

It’s a novel about four friends and their obscure life. *** The clinking of the five-inch stiletto echoed in the now-silent room. Every gaze was trained on the lady brandished in a fiery red evening gown. The aura surrounding the young woman was cold and dominating. Her sleek bun added another grace to her charismatic personality. Every woman’s presents there turned green in envy and men took a gulp feeling her oppressing aura. This woman was too much to handle. Heck, they can’t even afford to cross paths with her. She was a cruel bitch of the business world. Nobody dares to offend her. Greeting the host of the party, she stood in the corner grabbing a glass of cocktail. Scanning the surrounding her eyes suddenly found someone familiar. Her eyes dimmed a little and her lips turned into a thin line. In the next few seconds, her eyes darkened with rage. She sauntered to the person who was apologizing to the CEO of some small end company. “Do you even know how much this suit cost? Who permitted this low life to enter such prestige party?” The old man shouted loudly. The young man turned red in embarrassment founding all the eyes on him. It was true the party was only once held in three years and all the businessmen whether new or old eagerly wait for this chance to curry favors from big business conglomerates. “I am sorry sir. It was purely unintentional.” The young man tried to persuade him however it was all a futile attempt. “Shut up your dirty life. Look at your clothes. You sure have the guts to wear such poor clothes at this party.” Feeling someone present beside him the young man thought it might be the security called to throw him out. But the next second his eyes stilled at the figure. “And you Mr. Smith sure have the guts to ruin my party.” The old man almost fainted founding her there. Hela has always ignored these business meetings; even if she attended any, she liked to choose a corner and spent the entire time there not liking to be bothered by anyone. The crowd hushed in silence probably a good shown will soon be cast upon. “Oh No! Miss Wilson. It’s just this poor guy snubbed the whole thing. I was just trying to shoo him away and save the party” The old man cleanly shifted all the blame on the young man, buttering her up a little in the process. “Oh, I see Mr. Smith. But don’t you know what I despise the most?” Again a prickling silence surrounded the ballroom. “LIARS.” A cold and intimidating voice boomed in the room. Her dominating aura surpassed all the people. Sending a text on her cellphone. She glared at the old man and clutched the hand of the young man pulling him out of the ballroom. A couple of seconds later, the old man’s man phone rang and an earth-shattering voice resounded in the party. “How can this be? The sudden downfall in the stocks.” The silent and gobsmacked audience again started whispering.

"What's his story, I wonder?" Wren says, teasing me because of what happened earlier. "Don't know and don't care, how about you go ask him since you're so curious?" I grumbled as I pull my sandwich and apple out of my paper sack. "I may not have to .... because he's walking over here. Like right now" Wren says a bit surprised. Just before I could take a bite of my Red Delicious apple, a pair of long legs clothed in ripped jeans walked up and stood right across from me at the other side of our table. My eyes slowly drifted up past his Metallica shirt that is partially hidden by his leather jacket, past the tattoo on his neck to be met with a sparkling, white smile and brilliant blue eyes that seemed to already be mocking me. "Hey, sorry about earlier Cherry, you're so short that I didn't even realize that I bumped into someone" he says, trying to be charming. My cheeks enflamed when he called me "Cherry", it was a nickname from my past that I had wanted to keep buried. There was too many bad memories with that name and I'd rather not give Mr. Casanova here any bright ideas. "I have a name and that isn't it, why don't you just go bother someone else already? You're blocking my light" I say to him with a shooing motion, hoping that he would take the hint and go talk to the cheerleaders or even the geeks. Anyone else as long as it isn't me! He drops his bag to the ground and leans over, capturing a strand of my fiery, orange hair in between his fingers as he stares deep into my eyes, deep into my soul and smiles teasingly at me. "Really? You could've fooled me" he says as he twists the strand around his fingertip. This boy is all kinds of trouble, I could just feel it. But I could also feel something else .... and maybe it is just the beginning.
