Children stories involving gruffalos. 

These books were created by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler.

There are also audio books available.

I own nothing. These are just stories I liked and want to share.

The call is from Ani after Sharmila and Mahendra argued she decided to take help from Ani, she tells Ani her version of the story and tells him that Aditi slaps her, she also tells him that Aditi tells Mahendra to dismiss Mihika, which is wrong Ani knows that Sharmils must add something in this story but when she sends him a photo of her cheek on which fingerprints are still visible Ani somewhat get angry, compare to Mahendra, Sharmila has a very close relationship with Ani because they are of the same age, and while he recovering he spent lots of the time in the hospital, he feels that even if Sharmila said something wrong, it is bad to slap her like this, He is now in office and comes with Pranita because Pranita wanted to complete remaining work today so he also comes otherwise he works from home accompanying Pranita, he first decided to Visit Aditi but later change his mind and call Aditi.
        "Why you slap Sharmila?"Ani doesn't realize that his voice is somewhat angry and rude.
"why don't you ask her, Mr.Anirudh?"Aditi replied in the same tone, she has enough today,
"I mean, is there something happens in the hospital, see I know about your insecurity related to Mihika but in this Sharmila don't have anything to do, and you are just like a sister for me, and if you spoil your relationship with Sharmila, Mahendra might feel sad" Ani don't know how to speak with Aditi if it is someone else he might know the way, but this person is his future sister in law and best friend of his wife and also the person who help him a lot, but that doesn't mean she has the right to slap his sister.
"sister??? don't jock with me, if you really consider me sister then you might ask me how I am feeling because I am admitted in the hospital, forgot about that you at least ask me what exactly happens, but no you think I must be guilty, and Listen I have nothing to do with how Mahendra feel if someone says bad things about my family no matter who he or she is they get the answer and I just answer her," Aditi said in a very angry voice.
"can you please tell me what happened" Ani really get panicked, he doesn't know what happens and now he feels like Sharmila do something really bad, his brother love this woman if they do break up because of him or Sharmila he can't able to forgive himself.
"She said that my brother and I hooked up with your brothers because of money, and my mother and mau take advantage of them, what more I am scammer, and I am not even as good as Mihika's toenail, and there are lots of things, so tell me is I do something wrong"
"...." Ani doesn't know what to speak.
"if your doubts have been clear then I will hang up, and please Mr. Ghosh don't call me in the future without knowing anything and yup I will send back the gifts you give to me, because I think you also think the same way otherwise you will never ask me in that tone, goodbye" After saying this Aditi hang up the phone. Aditi is really angry now. But she can't do anything, she is too busy in her work that she forgot to check her phone, she sees that Mahendra sends her a message saying to her that they will talk at night when she calms down. there is not a single apology, she learns one thing from her previous marriage is never let other people disrespect you because later it becomes a habit. She knows that she needed to do something otherwise the past repeat again. "there is nothing to talk, you show me that you can't protect me, come to talk when you fire Mihika and I give an explanation to Ani but I will not explain it again" Aditi replied, she will not act stubborn if Ani don't call her but now it is important to see Mahendra's attitude.
              When Mahendra get the message he is discussing the matter with his client, after sending the client he read the message but don't understand how it is related to Ani, so he decided to visit Ani, fortunately, he come to office today and his office is on the next floor.
                  Hereafter Ani is talking with Aditi Pranita already come inside and hear what he said, actually, Virat already tell her what happen, and also send her audio, Virat works s assistant for her, and they have a good relationship, she considers him as a younger brother, Virat also decided to teach a lesson to Shrmaila so he sends this to Pranita when Pranita listens the audio, she also gets angry, Aditi is very special for her, if she doesn't help her she might not get the happiness she is getting today, she is her mentor, her best friend she decided to give her justice, she also remembers how Sharmila tell Ani to get remarried because she can't able to give him children that time Ani also doesn't take any stand and just change the subject, after remembering this incident Pranita's anger increased, and when she comes in the cabin she listens to the conversation. When Ani put the phone on the table, Pranita said"are you happy now making her sad"
"I don't do anything, I am just asking her why she slaps Sharmila"
"ahhhhh, Aditi slap Sharmila, wow bravo, She has the guts she does the thing which I really wanted to do"
"Pranita"
"what, do you forgot how she tells you to remarry because I can't have baby, that time what you do?"
"Listen I don't remarry, you know that I love you"
"hmm, I just don't want to become upset, otherwise I will tell you what you have done"
"...."Ani choose to be silent
"I think it is better if Aditi find someone else, she suffers previously and I think people like you and Sharmila make her life hard again"
"what you mean by finding someone else," Mahendra said while coming inside. Ani and Pranitas office have very tight security and only some people come inside without knocking and Mahendra is one of these, actually, he wanted to knock, but he listens to Pranita's loud voice, Pranita and Ani argued sometimes so it is nothing special but he just don't want any arguments today, but he realized that they are discussing his love life.
"I mean what you hear, Aditi deserve someone who stands for her, not someone whose family accuse her, honestly tell me Ani what Aditi do that Sharmila scold her, and who is this Mihika, if you think there is no one who supports her you are wrong, she is my best friend, and if it means that I have a fight with you then I happily do this"
"She tells you everything?" Mahendra asks
"no, but your sister makes her version and tell your brother, and your brother wanted to scold her," Pranita said.
"then how you know about this" now Ani questioned.
"Virat send me this and wanted to resign" after saying that Pranita plays the audio send by Virat.
After listening to this Ani realized that Sharmila lied, but now he can't do anything. 
"now happy Ani, I don't understand, when taking any decision related to the business you always find out other sides view, then why you don't ask Aditi about this first, you have done this with me too, fortunately, I love you otherwise nobody will stay with you Ani" 
"sorry"
"no need and you need to say it to Aditi"
"Hmm," Ani said, and try to call Adiit back but he realized that his number is blacklisted, Mahendra also tried to call her but he also blacklisted, they both look towards Pranita. Pranita sighed and dialed Aditi's number, fortunately, Aditi doesn't blacklist her.
           Here Aditi after sending message Aditi blacklisted both, Deepti and Arjun both get an urgent message so they needed to go, Aditi also realized that because of her children are late for their classes, fortunately, when she is talking with Ani her mom gets them ready, she calls the teacher and tells her that because she is sick children are late, the teacher said it is okay and they will take the classes for an extra hour. On Tuesday they have music instrument classes so they can't skip this, children don't want to go because they have a good time in the morning but Aditi tells them that they needed to hurry up. Aditi tells them that she send them lunch and tell her mother and mau to drop them, they also get ready because they needed to visit the factory, Deepti said that she will give them lift, after that everyone goes for their work and Aditi is alone in the house, at that time Pranita call her.

This is the story about self-discovery, self-accepting, and self-improvement. After getting the chance to go back in time, she wanted to live happily and protect her loved ones. With the system, her journey of self-improvement to help the people who are in need starts. But why did she meet this handsome man wherever she goes, is this destiny? 

Disclaimer: English is not my native language. Also, this story has romance, but it is very slow-paced. Also, some chapters are about her past life and her character development. This story is something which I wanted to write for the time being so please give it try. Thank you

Oh dear child, haven't you heard about the land where good children rest?
A place for children to never grow old?
Oh dear child, you must be scared.
If I can't protect you, promise me that you'll be there.

Love? 
What is love? You asked? 
Hm... It's, uh... What is love anyways... Well it's a basic human emotion, yet it is feels so complicated to explain. In my opinion, it's just a temporary feeling that humans harbour, an emotion that can be expressed towards another person as a sign of 'caring' and 'concern' towards them. Even if I said that it's a temporary feeling, it can last for a lifetime... 
Well that's just my opinion. Say, why don't we go for a stroll after I'm done making your body. No? 
... 
It's kind of sad that you can't talk yet, let alone, comprehending what I say. 
Still, you're the best thing that ever happened to me.
 Oh, look at the time... 
It's time for you to rest.

Commencing [Emergency hibernation]

Si Qing's eyes lit up when he heard the girl speak. However, in a moment, the brightness started to dim. They were mere Middle Immortals, how could they manage to escape from the heavily guarded area?
As if able to read his mind, Ren Chongsheng's lips curved upwards a little. She did not say anything, but only reached her hand out and tapped lightly on Si Qing's shoulder.
Si Qing's body shook a little, and immediately after that, he could feel the spiritual powers that were trapped within his body start flowing again!
His eyes sparkled. He looked at Ren Chongsheng. In a trembling voice, he uttered, "You…"
Ren Chongsheng put a finger on his lips. "Don't raise your voice!"
Si Qing's heart was thumping like drums. He was still fully aware of the challenge to escape. He nodded lightly though his eyes were now sparkling. 
Ren Chongsheng roamed about leisurely in the house. Once she was sure that there was no surveillance, she started speaking, "Everyone, please keep quiet for a while; listen to me."
She was using her directed audio spell. The only difference was that, instead of only transmitting the signal to one target, she was able to transmit the signal to everyone in the house. Everyone turned to look at her.
"No one has to say anything; just listen to me." Ren Chongsheng was just in time to cut off the queries that were undoubtedly going to be bombarded to her by the children.
The crowd nodded.
She then said, "I am here to save everyone, but, from now on, all of you have to listen to my orders, until the time when we are safe. Can everyone do that?"
All the children had initially been filled with despair. That moment gave them the slightest hope, and their eyes lit up while looking closely at Ren Chongsheng.
Of course, some were skeptical too, thinking that Ren Chongsheng would not be able to save anyone being a child herself. 
Ren Chongsheng was aware of the skepticism within the children's hearts. She did not say anything, but only walked by the children with haste and tapped each of their shoulders. 
Her speed was unbelievable. Within a few blinks of their eyes, she was able to finish tapping each of them. Then, the children suddenly realized that their spiritual powers that had been locked were now flowing again!
All the children's eyes lit up! Whatever Ren Chongsheng ordered, the children would nod in agreement. Ren Chongsheng had a request. She wanted the children there to do as told and to stay calm regardless of whatever they may see. 
The children naturally agreed.
Si Qing could not help but ask her through directed audio, "How are you going to do this?"
"I will go out and have a look first, clear the guards on the outside, and open the door to free all of you." Ren Chongsheng spoke with minimal emotions.
Si Qing could not believe it! How could this girl be capable of doing so?
"How will you go out?" The children asked her through directed audio.
Ren Chongsheng laughed. In a brief moment, the kids saw a flash, and the next, they realized that she had vanished from the house.
The children were dumbfounded. Fortunately, most of them had been exposed to strange occurrences. They scourged the room but failed to find a trace of Ren Chongsheng. It was at that moment that they truly believed that she had escaped. 
The prohibitions within the house were not able to stop her. 
The children felt a surge in their hopes. Everyone got their act together so that even if an outsider came in, no one would realize that someone had gone missing. 
Heng Qing could not help but ask, "Who is she?"
Si Qing heaved a sigh of relief. "She is the person who will be able to save us! Let's just wait with patience."
Heng Qing muttered. "I feel that her external abilities are much more proficient that of big brother…"

The Lavender Town Syndrome (also known as "Lavender Town Tone" or "Lavender Town Suicides") was a peak in suicides and illness of children between the ages of 7-12 shortly after the release of Pokémon Red and Green in Japan, back in February 27th, 1996.
Rumors say that these suicides and illness only occurred after the children playing the game reached Lavender Town, whose theme music had extremely high frequencies, that studies showed that only children and young teens can hear since their ears are more sensitive.
Due to the Lavender Tone, at least two-hundred children supposedly committed suicide, and many more developed illnesses and afflictions. The children who committed suicide usually did so by hanging or jumping from heights. Those who did not act irrationally complained of severe headaches after listening to Lavender Town's theme.
Although Lavender Town now sounds differently depending on the game, this mass hysteria was caused by the first Pokémon game released. After the Lavender Tone incident, the programmers had fixed Lavender Town's theme music to be at a lower frequency, and since then children were no longer affected by it.
One video appeared in 2010 using "special software" to analyze the audio of Lavender Town's music. When played, the software created images of the Unown near the end of the audio. This raised a controversy since the Unown didn't appear until the Generation 2 games: Silver, Gold, and Crystal. The Unown translate to "LEAVE NOW."
There is also the said Beta Version of Lavender Town.
It is said that the Beta Version of Pocket Monsters was released to some kids to test the games. This is the video of the Beta Version of Lavender Town:

Just A Bit Of Some Nerve-wracking Short Tales With A Doze Of Eerie-Crepiness .

This Novel Tales On Whole Different Genre Not Some Cliché Old Stuff It's Made By Me By Reading CreepyPasta's And Bending Them And Writing Them In My Own Way.


*This Novel Has No Fixed Protagonist*

*The Cover Doesnt Belong To Me

Well, this is total and absolute bullshit.

How am I alive?!!!

Like literally, what the fuck?

The girl glanced again on the mirror and there! She saw that she was in a child's body!! Wait—how can a supposed-to-be-dead 18 years old is in a 4 years old's body?! The hell?!

"Uh....where....am I?" She slowly asked, sluggishly sat up.

"Ah...you are in Baihe, some of my disciples saw you passed out, so they brought you here"

After the girl heard where she was taken in, she already zoned out, not hearing the rest of the sentence, trying to contemplate why her suicide mission failed. She took at the lady's features clearly. Her sharp but gentle chestnut eyes, long eyelashes, fair skin, her long ebony black hair against her lavender and green robes–wait a minute–robes?

Oh hell no! Did–did she turn back in time?!! Wait!–no! The lady said she's in 'Baihe', even if she doesn't listen to her classes, History always intrigued her and she's very sure that there is no such place in China!

"Oh" the girl looked down and up to stare at the woman, again. Seeing that, the lady smiled.

"My name is Wuye XieLun" she said, "And you, child?"

The girl sat there, silent and seeing that the girl is uncomfortable, she didn't push it.

"You don't seem to recognize me...are you not from here? Where are your parents?"

Hell no, I don't! I'm not even from here!

The girl didn't answer at first and Wuye XieLun thought that the girl is also uncomfortable with the question.

"I don't have parents and I'm not from here" the girl said looking down.

Heck! They have probably disowned me already!

"Ah...I see" Wuye XieLun rummaged through the shelves, seems to be finding something. As the lady busied herself, her eyes follows her move and came across something the almost made her shriek like she used to be in the last life when she saw something unusual.

Did–did she just saw?!– Ancient scrolls?!

The girl looked closely and realized that those are not only ancient scrolls but cultivation scrolls and spiritual items too!!!

What.The.Fuck?

Before she could comprehend of what happened, she fainted.

~†~


Qian Lianyu, a normal hardcore otaku and fujioshi, committed suicide due to depression and stress from her fucked up life. In her past life, she is known to be a idiot doing shenanigans while shamelessly talking about men making love.

Recently, she's been into a Chinese yaoi/bl novel whose piqued her interest. A story of youth, betrayal, treachery, lies, misunderstandings, regret, guilt, redemption and love..... between two men of course! 

She came across it's many versions; novel, manhwa, donghua, drama and audio drama and whatever she sees or read, she was completely moved by it, to the extent of empathize with the characters.

She once dreamed about it, she even built a shrine for it.

And here she is...

Did the Gods finally answered my prayers?

The girl laid there, in a daze as the lady gives her medicine. The reason she collapsed is that, she had a fever and was shocked to verge of fainting.

I still can't believe it!

~†~

It took two weeks for the girl to recover. During the recovery, she's always been in deep thoughts, since she's been sent to her beloved dimension, it felt surreal.

A few days ago, she confirmed that this is the dimension, this is the donghua, the drama, manhua, novel and audio drama!

A few days ago...

"Child, I will be going to Yunmeng to talk to Sect Leader Jiang about something, if it's alright and not uncomfortable, I will send someone to look after you when I am gone?"

W-w-what? Did-did she say–Yunmeng?!!!

The girl didn't know how to react since her head is overwhelmed, before she knew it, she nodded.

"Alright, be a good girl and listen to the doctors so that you can heal quickly"

The girl looked outside the window as she watched children running around with their mother or sister watching them. She envies them, not in a bad way, she is fond of children, she's even one herself. 

In the past, she is used to playing around, it's just that her parents never looked at her with fondness in their eyes, they only did that when she succeeded something impressive related to school. She even asked if they loved her.

"Child", the lady's voice echoed through her mind, that soft and gentle voice of the Sect Leader of the small but peaceful Sect.

Wuye XieLun...right... she acted like a mother towards her, strict when she didn't drink her bitter medicine and gentle when she wants me to go to sleep. The same woman who made her afraid of insects since she forgot to burn incense thus mosquitoes kept biting her in her sleep and somehow, those damned ants and cockroach got in. 

She could take any injuries and wounds but she was never fond of itchiness and something small that crawls, she used to cut and kill them in the past life, with anything sharp, usually with a butcher knife.

The girl internally laughed at how pathetic and cruel she is to the poor small damned things.

She missed Sect Leader Wuye XieLun.

~†~

When Wuye XieLun came back, the girl is already healed and immediately tried to learn cultivating from some disciples, asking them about cultivation. They would gladly chat with the girl, sometimes laughing brightly.

When they saw the Sect Leader walked towards them, they bowed to show respect. Sect Leader Wuye nodded and looked at the small girl.

"A small child like you shouldn't be walking around yet, and you just recovered" the woman smiled as she saw the girl pout after calling her 'small', "Come on"

The girl was slightly reluctant before she followed the woman after waving goodbye to the disciples.

When they arrived at the Sect Leader's chamber's, she hopped on the bed, legs swinging.

"Are you fine now?" Sect Leader Wuye asked after sitting next to her.

"You just said it, didn't you? I shouldn't be walking around when I just recovered" the girl squeaky voice made the woman laugh, along with her pout.

"Yes, yes you're right" the woman nodded and her face turned serious and made the girl tense and cautious.

"Now, are you gonna tell me who you really are, child?" Her voice is still soft but firm, "You aren't just a normal four year old, are you?" the girl stopped swinging her legs. 

The silence was suffocating to some people but the girl paid no mind about it, actually, it calms her. It took 1 minute and 4 seconds before the girl answered.

She sighed, "Well, aren't you observant, expected from a Sect Leader" the girl mindlessly swings her legs again. "How 'not normal' do you think I am?" The girl asked.

"No normal four year old girl can talk like you, knowing few words that children had a great possibility that they may misspoke,  the way you act is also unusual for a girl that is too young, like today, when I speak, children would only just look in a daze, not be able to comprehend what I'm saying, but you..." The woman turned her head to the child , who's smiling as if she knows nothing.

"You are listening, attentively too"

"Hmm? You think so?" The girl smiled as she tilt her head sideways.

"Also" the woman paused as she stood up and went to one of the shelves.

"Also?" The girl mused.

When the woman arrived, she held something in her hands and held it out to the girl, "This"

"This is–!" The girl took the object from her hand and held it tight, "My phone!!"

"Ah, I see...so that piece of contraption is called a 'phone'" the woman settled herself next to the girl who was still in shock. "I do not know how to operate it, so I just left it on the shelves and ask you if you knew this item since when I saw it, you were clutching it"

"Well, I'm surprised you didn't throw it away" the girl laughed.

"So, are you going to tell who you are and why are you here?"

~†~

Explaining stuff to people isn't really her thing, but when it's related to anime or yaoi, she would tell all about it with very VERY clear details, if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). The explanation took the whole day and the had their breakfast and lunch in the Wuye XieLun's bedroom. 

As the girl was explaining, she had different moods, when she talk about the good moments, she smiles, when she talks about bad moments, she looks sad, hurt and pained, when she talks about a certain old man with a gootee, she's pissed and Wuye XieLun would just laugh.

When the girl finished explaining, it was near dinner time but decided that they eat at Wuye XieLun's bedroom again. When the food arrived, the girl immediately took a bite of one of the dishes, with heart eyes.

"So...you are saying is...you came from a different dimension and that our future of the cultivation world is–"

"Cruel and messed up!" The girl exclaimed and began eating. Wuye XieLun laugh from the girls antics.

"Now, now, you mustn't talk while eating" Wuye XieLun scolds the girl and started eating.

"You're weird and believed what I said" the girl thoughtlessly said as she poked one of the weird dishes.

"Why mustn't I? Actually, what you said is true..." Wuye XieLun said, trailing off.

"About what?"

"About the Five Prominent Clans and..."

"And?"

"And your story took the whole day, it would be such a waste of time if I don't believe it" Wuye XieLun smiled, a smile that puts a tick mark on the girl's forehead. "Now, eat, you must talk while eating, you act so childishly when you are actually 18 years old"

"Actually, 18+4 so I'm actually 22 years old" the girl smugly said.

"Exactly, yet you are small" Wuye XieLun purposely said.

"A-Niang!!–" the girl immediately covered her mouth while Wuye XieLun was surprised. "I-I-I mean– s-s-sorry! I was just used to–"

Wuye XieLun shook her head, laughing.

"W-why are you laughing?!!" The girl bashfully looked away.

"No, no, no, I'm not laughing"

"Liar! You obviously are! I'm even going to call you that anyway!"

Wuye XieLun giggled, "It's fine"

"Huh?"

"I said it's fine... call me whatever you want"

The girl was surprised for a moment then 'hmph', continued eating.

"You haven't even told me your name yet"

Again, the girl went silent, but this  time, she answered less than a minute.

"In my first life, I was called Qian LianYu" the girl started.

Called?

"Qian LianYu? Qian means money and LianYu means–" the girl continued, as if she doesn't want Wuye XieLun to say what her name means.

"Unlike my brothers, neither my parents named me through their heart nor even named me at all. They let a fortune teller named me"

Ah, that is why she said 'I was called'... neither her mother nor father named her...

"The fortune teller said, I would bring them good and bad luck and he was right...when I was young, I was always on the top and my parents were satisfied" a small smile was on the child's face and it immediately turned to a frown, "as I grew older, instead of exceeding, I was failing my parents expectations"

"How so?"

"Instead of reconsidering my parents happiness, I began thinking about my own desires and they were against it, I was selfish, I know...too selfish that to the point that I would kill myself and end up in a dimension I dreamed to be" at the last part, the child laughed.

"Then...how about I give you a birth name?" Wuye XieLun smiled.

"W-wha?" The girl was dumbfounded but she unawaringly nodded.

"How about....Wuye JaRen?"

"Wuye...JaRen..." The girl mused, "wait-! Wuye?!"

"Why so surprised? You already called me A-Niang, didn't you? A-Ren?" XieLun teased and JaRen pouted. "Then, how about your courtesy name?"

"I already had one" the girl said.

"Really? What is it?"

"LianYu"

"But I thought you didn't like it?"

"No, but I accepted it"

"Why?"

JaRen took a moment, "Because it is me...it made me who I am and I didn't regret anything" she smiled before setting herself on the bed. XieLun smiled when she understood what the girl said.

"Then let's see if you changed for the better then" she took the girl in her arms and carried her to her own room and laid her on the bed. This time, before she left, XieLun burned some incense.

"Mhnn...A-Niang" the girl called out.

"Yes A-Ren?" The woman asked.

"Earlier...you said...I *yawn* don't talk like normal children...what do you mean by that?"

"Oh, when you still had a fever, you were cursing in your sleep" XieLun smiled.

"..."

"You said many things like, motherfucking old man gootee, shit-head old master, you're teaching bullshit you hypocrite and your shitty gootee...well... everything about Master Lan being cursed" XieLun laugh along the half-awake girl who is dossing off.

"Hehe...that is *yawn* true..." The closed her eyes and XieLun giggled.

What happens when a normal hardcore otaku and fujioshi girl suddenly been sent to her favorite dimension, that could only make her happy, to redeem from her bitter lifestyle?

Well, do some shits maybe? or use her time from watching the drama and unfinished donghua, read the unfinished manhua/manhwa and the novel (mostly the novel) for many times already! to change some hurtful and bitter moments?

Ailsa Duncan survived the explosion that destroyed an entire neighborhood five years ago, Bella explained in the back of the cab on their way to meet their 10:30 appointment.  But her husband and two children were killed.  They were crushed when their house collapsed.  Ailsa was found the next day, badly injured but alive.

Luke was only half listening.  He remembered covering the disaster, shooting video of the devastation.  There had been a gas leak and before the neighborhood could be evacuated, there was a tremendous explosion.  The fire had been apocalyptic, but the percussion from the blast obliterated homes that were never touched by flames.

She wrote an open letter that was published in the newspaper, kind of an anniversary remembrance, Bella continued.  Are you alright? she asked, concerned by his silence.

Yeah, Im fine.  What happened to your hangover? he asked, trying to change the subject.

Ive put it on ignore, she responded.

The cab stopped in front of a small white cottage fronted by a tiny green lawn with a small rose garden to the left of the front porch.  This is your address, the driver said.  Will I be waiting?

No, thank you, Bella replied.  Well call when were finished.  She opened the door and climbed out.

Luke got out on his side, grabbing his camera bag as he did, and met Bella on the sidewalk.  Lets put a mic on you, he said, digging a lavalier from his bag.  He held it out toward her and she took it from him, accidentally brushing his hand with hers.  When she did, he felt a charge of electricity as though the gadget had emitted a shock, but he knew it was not the lav.  Glancing at her, he saw she was looking up at him in a startled way.  Did she feel that, too? he wondered.

Bella unbuttoned two buttons of her blouse and clipped the mic to her bra, running the wire behind her back where Luke clipped the box to her waistband.  She buttoned and tucked, ready to roll.

Audio task completed, Luke followed Bella up to the front door.  She smiled at him and knocked on the door.

Her knock was answered by a small blonde woman with bright blue eyes and a cheerful face.  Bella put on her warmest smile.  Hello, Mrs. Duncan?  Im Bella Grant, this is Luke McGillicutty.  Thank you again for seeing us.

Oh, Im just Ailsa, please, protested the woman.  Welcome!  Please come in.

She opened the door and ushered them into the small home. I thought you two might enjoy some tea, Ailsa said.

That sounds very nice, Bella responded graciously.  The woman led them through the house to the kitchen in the back.  Hanging on the wall were family pictures, including a photo showing two smiling little boys.  Bella signaled to Luke with a tilt of her head.   Luke unobtrusively began shooting.

Oh, my, I look a mess, Ailsa said nervously.

You look wonderful.  Dont mind Luke, hes a professional, Bella laughed.   Immediately she began to engage Ailsa in conversation, at first just pleasantries about the house and the garden.

Bella and Ailsa sat at the kitchen table sipping tea while Luke worked his camera like an extension of himself.  Once again, he was glad for the lens that separated him from the situation.  He watched as Bella completely disarmed Ailsa.  It was as though they were old friends.

Slowly, Bella spiraled the conversation to the topic theyd come to discuss.  She spoke quietly, leaned in, put her hand on Ailsas.  I read your letter to the newspaper.  It was very touching, she zeroed in.  He had to hand it to her; Bella was very good at this.

Ailsa described the day of the explosion, the aftermath, waking up in the hospital to discover that her family was gone.

Bella, quietly, How do you do it?  How do you keep going?

Ailsa replied, You just do.  To do otherwise would be to dishonor those youve lost.  Bella looked at Luke, her eyes shining.

Just then, they heard the front door open and a male voice calling for Ailsa.  She smiled broadly as a handsome red-haired man entered the kitchen.   This is my husband, Rory, she said.

Luke was confused, thinking, Wasnt the husband killed in the disaster?  Rory shook hands with Luke and then Bella before he went to stand behind Ailsa, gently resting his hands on her shoulders.

Bella explained, Rory is a firefighter.  He was on call the day of the explosion.

Aye, it was a horrible day, Rory said.  A lot of good people died.  We were working houses that were completely fallen in.  Wed pulled out many who didnt make it.  His expression brightened.  But then we found a woman, this beautiful angel, who was hurt but alive.

Ailsa blushed prettily as he continued, I visited her in hospital every day.  I didnt mean to stalk her, but I couldnt stay away.  Of course, I respected her grief, but we kept in touch after she was released.  Two years ago she agreed to be my wife.  He smiled down at her lovingly.  Im a very lucky man, indeed.

Bella smiled broadly.  Ailsa, I couldnt help noticing your rose garden.  Could you show it to us? she asked.   The woman blushed again.  Id be so happy to, she said.

The group moved back through the house to the front and out the door, Luke filming steadily.  There were roses of different varieties and colors: soft pink, yellow, peach, and red.

Ailsa touched the flowers lovingly.  I planted these to remind me of my boys, she said, a small tear making its way down her cheek.  I miss them every day.  Rory stepped up and put his arm around her waist.  But life is good, she smiled.  We just found out were going to have a baby.  Bella beamed at them, then at Luke.

The group said their goodbyes.  Bella promised to send them a copy of the completed episode.  Once in the cab, Luke realized that he felt as though hed been holding his breath the whole time.  Relax, Cowboy, he thought to himself.  Ailsas story gave him new perspective.

He looked at Bella, saw the triumphant gleam in her eyes, and flashed back to last nights kiss.  She was drunk, stupid, he reminded himself, and he sighed.

As they rode away from the cottage, Luke turned to Bella.  That was good.

It was fried gold, she agreed, smiling.

I finish setting up the table for dinner, I count the number of plates, the twins and I, Bestie, Zuso and Mma, perfect! As I make sure that everything is set, I look at the other end of the table and think how K was supposed to be sitting there. 

How we would've been married by now and with the kids, but life didn't work that way. I set the glasses and go freshen up in my room. 

These Friday dinners have been a tradition ever since the twins were born, they really helped me out because after they were born I wasn't coping at all, being a single mother and being at school as well, was hell! 

I had to finish off my degree with online schooling, which wasn't that bad cause I had more time for my babies. I'm just thankful that Mma didn't abandon me when she found out I was pregnant, she supported me and would take care of the kids when I would be busy with school. 

It surely wasn't easy but this little family I have helped me a lot, Zuso take them over to their house sometimes for the weekend to let me "unwind" as they say, I love my kids but sometimes I need some me time. 

After freshening up and wearing my tights and sweater, something I know mom will disapprove of, honestly wearing dresses and heels is tiring! The fact that I had to wear that stuff the whole week tired me out! I really hate that stuff, but as the CEO of my small company, I have to look presentable when I'm in the office. 

I miss working out there in the field, but now all I do is supervise what my employees are doing and check out their designs. However, when I get the opportunity I run to it wanting to smash a house open and starting from scratch. 

Just like my house, I built it from scratch and I've never been prouder of my projects! Enough about me now, I walk to the twin's room to see if they're ready and I'm not surprised to find them on their gadgets. 

The only time they get off those is when Tammy is here, I asked her to use literal books and not these smart gadgets! I try to get them to read books but it's been a failure all the way. They're only going to start going to school in the 5th grade, I don't want them to be totally introverted and want to take over the world one day. 

"Mommy, you coming?" Khuli tugs on my shirt looking up at me with those beautiful eyes, it's crazy how they look so much like K, from those olive-green eyes with specks of brownish-gold. Their lips, the only thing they got from me is their nose and I like to think their hair is a mixture of mine and his. I'm just jealous that they look so much like him. 

"You guys excited for tonight's dinner? Mama is coming!" 

They grin at each other and nod their heads vigorously, suspicious. I wonder what they up to now. 

I put them down once we reach the kitchen and take out the wine for the adults and juice for the kids, the doorbell rings and I go open the door. 

"Hey, babe!" Zoé screamed pulling me into a hug as if it's been long since we saw each other but it's only been a week. 

"Hey T." I hug Thuso and kiss her cheek, Zo is already with the kids and pinching their cheeks, I know how much she wants children but T isn't ready. 

"How are you feeling?" T asked looking at me in the eye, I know immediately what she's talking about and I sigh. 

"Flipping frustrated! Confused and scared. I don't know what to do." I whisper out and see that Zo is standing with us once again. 

She pulled me into another hug and patted my back softly, "You'll figure it out. Whatever happens we here for you okay babe?" I nod my head and hug both of them, feeling an extra set of small bodies joining the hug we laugh. 

"I don't believe this! You guys having a group hug without the most important person of the group!" Bo always has to have a dramatic entrance. 

"Argh come in here you!" Zo shouts and he comes over between me and Zo, "jealous much?" Zo asked and Bo stuck out his tongue for her causing all of us to laugh. 

"I love you guys," I said as we all parted from the hug. 

"What about me?" A voice asked behind us and I slowly turned around to find K, my heart beat faster and suddenly my audio box couldn't work anymore. 

"I hope it's okay I invited him, actually the kids did but they asked me because you would say no and be mad at them for meddling in your..." 

"It's okay." I cut Bo off as he rambles, I turn to the twins with a forced smile but the moment I look into their eyes I melt and give them a genuine smile, "Next time ask mommy okay?" 

"Okay, mommy. We just really wanted K to come because he's so much fun." Khaili gave me her toothless smile and I smiled back. I turned back to K and gave him a small smile. 

"You're welcome to stay, there has to be some food to feed you around here." I walked to the kitchen where everybody else is. 

"There surely is..." He muttered so low I swear I wouldn't have heard him correctly. Everybody is already sitting and I see that an extra plate was put onto the table. 

I looked over to Zo and she shot me a smile, I glared at her because she will be giving him the idea he is the man of this home! But he is. 

The doorbell rings and I run to it and find my mom looking gorgeous, I pulled her into a hug because for one I was feeling overwhelmed with everything and there's nothing as comforting as a mother's hug. 

"I'm here too kiddo!" A warm voice said and I screamed lunging to the man. 

"Mr S! Mom didn't tell me you were coming as well!" Mr S was a darling, he also helped me out during the difficult times in my life. 

He was a really nice man who for his age was still considered as good looking up to my standards, mom certainly did choose a beautiful man here. 

"You'd swear he's your mother." My mom muttered, Mr S and I laughed and both kissed her cheeks. 

"You're my mother and superhero!" I told her enthusiastically. 

"You bet! Now, where are my real children?" She asked walking to the dining room. 

"Grandchildren, I'm your child," I muttered feeling replaced by my children. 

"It's okay Kiddo, you're my child as well." Mr S kissed the top of my head and we followed my mom who was giving the children gifts. 

"Mma what did I say about you buying things for them every time you come over?" I asked feeling annoyed because we've had this conversation a million times and her response always is... 

"Do you guys hear anyone talking?" Wow!, "Besides these are my babies Rina." She shrugged her shoulders as if I'm not her baby as well. 

"Whatever, let's sit down." I see K still standing awkwardly there but with confidence radiating off him as if he owns the place, "Uhm K you can sit at the other end of the table." 

My mom looks at me with wide eyes the whole table does and I clear my throat taking my seat at the head of the table. 

"Mma and Mr S, that's Khalil. Khalil, my parents." I introduce them before my mom says I'm rude. 

"Nice to meet you, dear. In-person I have to say you look much more beautiful and manly!" My mother said with a huge grin and Mr S cleared his throat, "But you're the only man I want." She kissed his cheek and couldn't help but cringe because of where my mind went. 

K saw my reaction and grinned, "Same to you mam, I see where Rina gets her looks." My eyes snapped to him to see he was already looking at me, my mom giggled and Mr S said something which made the whole table laugh but K and I were still having a staring contest. 

My mom nudged my side and I smirked, "K. Since you're the guest, please bless the table." He looks at me with wide eyes and clears his throat. 

"May we please join hands and close our eyes." We all did as he asked and he prayed, surprising me because last I checked he didn't believe in religion. 

"You're religious now?" Zo asked shocked as I was and K shook his head no. 

"No, I just remembered something Rina taught me all those years ago. I must say Mrs S that you gave birth to a wonderful daughter!" He already won my mother over a long time ago, in fact after he told her she was beautiful and he called her Mrs S! 

"Oh yes, son..." Son? Son!!! No, he must not be called son, has she forgotten what happened!? I've tuned out all conversations around me gathering the empty dishes and putting them into the dishwasher. 

Apparently now we're all going to watch a movie, and guess who's idea that was? K! We're all sitting in the living area and watching The Avengers. I'm sharing the couch with the twins and K, Zuso are sitting together, K is sitting on the loveseat alone eating whatever it is he found in my fridge and my parents left saying they were still active too, I didn't really need to know that part though. 

"You should take them to their rooms," K whispered in my ear, I was absentmindedly playing with Khuli's curls as he slept on my lap and Khaili on K's. I picked K up and laid his head on my shoulder going for Khaili, "It's okay. I'll help you." He picked her up bridal style and she snuggled up against his chest. 

My stomach dropped and my eyes teared at the sight, I turned and walked upstairs before I could cry. I put Khuli in his and kissed his forehead after covering him up, I walked over to Khaili's bed and did the same for her, K was standing by the doorway. 

I walked out and he closed the door leaving it s bit open, enough for light to enter the room. 

"Are you okay?" He asked grabbing my shoulders and turning me to him, I nodded my head and tried to pull away from him, "Foxie look at me. What's wrong?" He whispered and I couldn't hold it in anymore, I broke into tears and he pulled me in, he hugged me tightly and kissed the top of my head. 

"I_ I have to... I don't know-how. I'm so sorry." I try speaking but he shushed me hugging tighter. 

"Whatever it is, we'll figure it out together okay?" He said pulling away from the hug a bit to look at me, "whatever it is Foxie." He whispered and I couldn't help but look at his lips, I leaned in and he met me halfway and our lips joined in a passionate kiss. 

His hands slid down to my waist before cupping my ass and squeezing it, he thrust his tongue into my mouth and I met his with mine. We both battled for dominance but before anyone of us could win somebody cleared their throat. 

"Uhm sorry. We just wanted to tell you we leaving. Carry on. Sorry again. Bye. Love you both! Sorry." Zoé spoke out uncomfortably but anyone could see she was trying to contain her grin, she left with a huge smile and ran down the stairs. 

"She's going to..." K spoke and before finishing I answered. 

"Yup." 

We broke into a fit of laughter as we heard Bo scream and the front door slammed closed and more screaming. 

"Look you should probably go. Don't want your ride here to leave you." I whispered. 

"Yeah, I should. Uhm thanks for dinner it was quite lovely." He said as he was about to leave through the door. He placed another slow kiss on my lips, "Goodnight Foxie." With that, he left and I closed the door. 

This is truly getting out of hand 

Hot Ares: Don't wet yourself tonight dreaming about me, I won't be there to clean it up. 

Really out of hand!

She hated him. She hated his beautiful olive-green eyes, the smirk that always played on his face. The way his fingers would run through his hair. She hated the way he made her feel and how so sure of himself was. Even the happiest people are the most broken, he made her love again...something she didn't want but this time she fell hoping it would be for the right one.

Meeting Khalil Mancuso had to be one of the greatest blessings in her life, but every blessing comes with a curse.

Mankind in its present state has been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance.
So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? We huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that we didn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men and rocks that came to life. So we called them 'gods' and 'demons', begged them to spare us, and prayed for salvation.
In time, their numbers dwindled and ours rose. The world began to make more sense when there were fewer things to fear, yet the unexplained can never truly go away, as if the universe demands the absurd and impossible.
Mankind must not go back to hiding in fear. No one else will protect us, and we must stand up for ourselves.
While the rest of mankind dwells in the light, we must stand in the darkness to fight it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane and normal world.

We secure. We contain. We protect.
