Chapter 3: Writer on Main Character's house

I got out of my dumpster and started thinking of ways on how to publish the Chapter. I grabbed my phone and tried to find a way, I saw a "more" button in the notifications.

I tapped the more button and brought up something.

Extend 50 Minutes = LIFESPAN -24

CHANCES =1

BACK USE

It was a 50 Minutes extension. I had one chance, but it'll take my lifespan to -24.

"One extension won' hurt," I said to myself and quickly tapped used.

I quickly feel a little weak, maybe because it was the LIFESPAN -24, I realized something. Lilith has a Wi-Fi Signal in her home and I know where she lives, glad I made a character that has a strong internet connection at her home. I started walking around the quiet neighborhood. I halted from my tracks as I saw Lilith that went inside her house, a light mint green color and its white trim house with a small porch.

I quickly tried to find a way to get it but it's too risky, I made her parents real strict and I can't change the character's personality, Lilith's parents are also the supporting characters and don't much have a huge role in the story. I also can't change it from the fact it's published.

I looked up and saw a window the leads to her room, I quickly stacked up the wooden boxes that I found on the side of their porch, these boxes come in handy. Glad I made Lilith's mom a plant enthusiast and loves to buy plants that are being cultivated on boxes. I took a peek inside to see if anyone was there.

It was dark and no one was inside, I slowly opened Lilith's window and silently went in.

I clenched my fist to try and opened my hologramm screen and keyboard.

"uhhhh..." someone said behind me, I slowly turned around and it was her Lilith's best friend Ivy, Ivy was holding a cup of coffee.

I heard utensils touch from the dining room, it was Lilith and her family eating in the dining room.

I turned around and looked at Ivy, she probably realized that I'm just a stranger that straightly went to Lilith's room. She dropped her coffee and started screaming in high pitch.

I quickly ran towards her to cover her mouth.

"S-S-SHHHHHHH" I quickly covered her mouth, I can hear her muffled screams and she started crying.

"Ivy? Are you okay back there ?" It sounded like Lilith, I gulped and imitate Ivy's voice.

"Y-yeah! I'm fine. I just found a bug haha." I replied. I sound like a chicken about to be slaughter.

"u-uhh okay.." Lilith replied. With my hand covered on Ivy's mouth, I looked at Ivy in the eyes, it's weird to beg with my characters.

"Please keep quiet, I'm trying to upload.." I paused, "an assignment. I just can't fail a subject" I said to Ivy.

"Who the hell are you, you just suddenly came inside Lilith's room" Ivy replied in a muffled voice.

"I'm sorry but please keep quiet," I said to Ivy.

I slowly moved away my hand from her mouth, she stayed silent.

Glad I made Ivy as a side character that is soft and would like to help people. I clenched both of my fists and a hologram screen and keyboard appeared, Ivy's eyes widened.

I quickly went to my chapters and published Chapter 41. The loading bar is shown on screen. Few minutes, I heard Lilith is done, eating with her family. My eyes widened as I heard few steps that is going upstairs.

"Shit! She is coming, don't tell her I'm here okay? Please" I said, looking at Ivy. She nodded, "Okay"

I quickly scanned the room, finding a place to hide. I saw her closet and jumped inside.

I sit and looked at the screen, the chapter was on 98%, I stayed silent inside the closet. I heard the door opened, Lilith is in the room.

"Hey Ivy !" Lilith said to Ivy.

"H-hey" Ivy replied.

"Are you okay? You seemed pale." Lilith asked. Oh, I forgot Lilith also cares for the people that she loves, even she's rebellious. I made a kind part of her, I smiled as I saw look at Lilith.

"Have you heard about the guy that lives inside a dumpster ?" Lilith replied.

"Uh yeah?" Ivy replied.

Oh, she's talking about me.

I looked at the screen as I listen to what Lilith said.

"He has a cool cyberpunk laptop floating in front of him" Lilith replied as she jumped on her bed. "It's like his living from in futuristic era"

Ivy stayed silent, her eyes on the closet.

The Chapter was on 99%, a little bit more.

"Ivy, are you okay ?" Lilith said to Ivy. Ivy nodded.

Lilith realized that Ivy was looking at the closet, "why are you looking at the closet ?" Lilith asked.

"It's nothing" Ivy replied while sweating profusely.

"Shit Ivyyyyyy, why did you look at me," I said silently in the closet.

Lilith slowly approached the closet, the chapter was successfully uploaded.

"CONGRATULATIONS! YOU SUCCESSFULLY PUBLISHED CHAPTER 41 OF UNSOLVED CASE: FELICIA."
