The Miscellaneous Foursome - Vanessa: Loner's Niche, #9

By Draeme Saekyr

In a world filled with couples, regardless of gender or species, there are always a few misfits that don't quite belong. In this story, there are at least five, if not more, significant misfits that finally create their own Niche, the Loner's Niche, where outgoing narcissists aren't welcomed.

The five individual stories that'll be intertwined are as follows. They begin with Kiernan Prawl, and he's an exciting person indeed. While he is entangled in a situation beyond his wildest expectations, Isaac is given a painful lesson in dealing with sisters that cross boundaries and lines he would no longer put up with. Anya discovers who her real friends are and gets a bonus gift for being accepted back into her clan. Kellen is forced to recognize bonds he's always been aware of but ignored through sheer stubbornness. Now, Mesala is faced with difficult decisions as well. Not only that, but her future, as well as her brothers, has broadened considerably.

In a considerably rough time, four distinct individuals, two kidnapped and two ambiguous, now it is time to hear the voices and thoughts of Dorian and Ferron Jenelle. Later, they listen to the voices and ideas of Isadora and Vanessa as they learn hard lessons of what boundaries and lines not to cross, whether they've learned something of value from this entire experience, and whether they're willing to repent for their actions.

Kiernan, Anya, Isaac, Kellen, and Mesala were the five main characters, and snapshots of their stories gave their viewpoints of the adventure. There are now four more that'll evolve the tale, but in the end, it may only be the five that create their own Loner's Niche that no one else can fully appreciate.

Eventually, there'll be one last wrap up of an epilogue that'll tie up the loose ends and give a peek into the futures of the five loners and the supporting characters who aided in their time of desperate need.

The Miscellaneous Foursome

The miscellaneous foursome, otherwise known as Isadora and Vanessa Kin, Isaac's triplets, are in an uproar about the whole shebang and then come to learn that two friends of theirs, with different names and identities than what they're known by in the same school as the two sisters, went missing. Now they're in a dilemma. Do they help, or still refuse, because they hate Kiernan's guts, and why do they hate him?

The last two individuals are Ferron and Dorian Jenelle, Mesala's missing brothers. They've just turned adults at twenty-one and are real troublemakers. However, this time, they've managed to get into the kind of trouble that could turn fatal if they're not careful. They also must decide whether Kiernan, aka Kila, is trustworthy and can help them out of their jam in return for alerting their sister and others to his dilemma to gain further help.

Isadora was in a difficult position. She's on the run now and won't acknowledge anyone's willingness to give a hand of assistance. Yeah, she knows she's in the wrong, but now must figure out how to handle her own mess for once. That is her goal and if it means literally disappearing from this dimension to accomplish it, that's what Isadora will do to accomplish it.

The voice of Vanessa brings the separate tales of the Miscellaneous Foursome to a conclusion. Vanessa is faced with a heartbreaking decision after learning of her triplet's soon demise through a very nasty medical condition. Now she had to make a difficult choice. Would she allow her sister to do what she wished, or would she put Isadora through an unpleasant ordeal of shoving her into an antiseptic and sterile environment? Only Vanessa can make that decision, but first, she must alert other people in her circle of acquaintances to the new developments.

Chapter 1

From start to finish that entire scheme cooked up by those demonic individuals was a total scam. Furious even though Vanessa acknowledged she'd brought much trouble onto herself for even trusting such scum. She was more infuriated that Isadora took off out of the blue rather than serve out a portion of a greatly reduced sentence.

Growling and cursing her sister's existence, Vanessa sought to find out the reason why she'd done what she did. Much to her bemusement, she gradually learned the horrific truth behind Isadora's deep-seated hatred against Kiernan.

Close to half a year passed before Vanessa was allowed near Isaac and the others. Even now Kellen lounged within striking distance if she attempted to use force or coercion on him. Vanessa no longer wanted to kill anyone. If anything, she wanted to save her sister's life. However, now she realized that might not even be possible. I would've never suspected something like this.

Kiernan rubbed his jaw when looking at her warily from a corner of the room. So yeah, that is the root cause of her anger. His shoulders slumped as he leaned against a wall. I'm pretty shocked as well. There was no little remorse in his demeanor when he added. I had no idea that the cancer that riddled me in my childhood and was miraculously cured had actually been transferred to someone else.

Even if Vanessa could understand his confusion, she was still angry over what happened. Now, she understood that Kiernan had no idea what happened. Not only that but he clearly empathized with the ordeal that Isadora was going through. So why do you think it started up after remission after all this time? That's what confused Vanessa right
