《The Kidnapped Orphan》The Letter.

Joseph's POV
I woke up, rubbing my eyes. Then I realised. It was the day I was going to meet Amy and preferably talk her through what had happened in the past.
I got out of bed, stretching my body. My head was banging. It was probably a hang over due to the amount of beer I had. I was underaged to drink but I wasn't going to follow the Law. It was my life, I could decide what I could and could not do.
I heard my phone buzz, so I decided to see the message.
'Hey bro. Can't wait to see you again.'
It was from Amy.
I got in the bathroom, locking the door and undressing myself. My six pack was on show and that's what I loved. I stepped in the shower, closing the transparent doors and switching the hot water on. The water cascaded down my well-built body, dripping to the floor and flowing into the drain. I washed my body and my hair. The shower was very refreshing. I then turned the shower off, grabbing a towel and walking into my bedroom.
I got a blue t-shirt with buttons and a pair of black trousers with black shoes. I admired myself in the mirror, taking a bottle of aftershave and spraying the whole of my muscular body. I was feeling a bit nervous. It has been ages since I saw Amy.
I got another message, presuming it was Amy.
'You won't get away with this.'
I ignored it. Whoever attempted making me frightened had failed, bad. I had loads of stuff to do before I could visit Amy. I had around 7 hours. I wanted to do some food shopping but I couldn't get caught. I'm an escaped prisoner. Well, I would of been if I actually made it into the prison cell. I had to go to the shop, no matter what.

I went into the dungeon and found Kayleigh's watch. I'll just leave it here. She's coming back anyway.

Daisy's POV
"Daisy! Wake up!" James shouted, battering me with the pillow.
"WHAT!" I frustratingly yelled, snatching the pillow from him.
"Kayleigh. She has some explaining to do." He smirks.
"So! We'll do that later! I want to sleep!" I turn onto my side and close my eyes.
"No! You can't!" He moans, pulling away the covers.
"Why!"
"Because. I want to take you to a cafe for breakfast."
I lean up, looking directly at him. A grin shows up on my face.
"You keep spoiling me." I laugh, getting out of bed and going to the bathroom.
"You're my best friend, Daisy. Of course I would." He chuckles, following me.
"Eh...eh." I look at him then looking to the door.
"Oh, right. I'll leave." He smirks.
I shut the door and strip down. I desperately needed a shower.
Once I had my shower, I unlocked the door and to my surprise, James was sitting on the floor, crossed legs, facing me.
I only had a towel on me, so this situation could of got awkward.
"JAMES!" I shout.
He turns around, covering his eyes with his hands.
"I won't look." He smirks.
"You better not!" I warn, going to my room.
I opened the wardrobe door and found James' clothes hanging on the racks. He could of kept his stuff in his suitcase. I choose a red dress. Once I had got that on, I brushed and dried my long, brown hair. I then put on some deodorant and perfume.
"James. I'm ready." I open the door. He wasn't there.
I sigh, putting on some white, short socks and my white Vans, before heading downstairs.

"James." I gasp.
He was wearing a very posh suit. Black blazer, white buttoned up shirt with a blue tie and a pair of black trousers.
"Yes, my lady?" He smiles.
"You..you look very.."
"Posh, gentlemanish?" He hands me an golden envelope.
I look at him in curiosity, ripping apart the golden paper.
Iwas speechless. I didn't know what to do or even say. My mum had just contacted me through letter, explaining I have an older brother which I don't even know. She had lied to me for years.

Joseph's POV
I threw Kayleigh's watch on the bed, storming out the cell and slamming the door behind me. It wasn't even time to see Amy! I was so desperate! I went into the living room, grabbing my phone and searching the long list of contacts for Amy.
'Amy, I can't wait any longer. Meet me at the woods now.'
I placed my phone in my pocket and collected my stuff, going out the door. I had to be careful. I didn't have time to go the market. It was probably already busy and full now. I bet I'm on the news everywhere. Maybe Amy's already found out and is scared to meet me. I mean, I'm meeting her in the god damn woods where nobody goes. What is she going to think? If I arrive there and 10 minutes has passed. I will text her and probably hurt her for wasting my time. No lie, I would hurt her. I don't have emotions or feelings for my sister now. We haven't seen each other in ages. I've lost her trust. Everything.
Damnit. I can't believe I'm saying all this.

Quebracho: The Legend of Two Heroes
After a violent and tough battle, you recover in an infirmary with your fellow soldiers, or in a more relatable scenario, visit your friend's house after a hard day of studying. You’d expect that both of them would play out normally for the most part, right? Well... Maxon Cortez and Jason McGuire had the same thoughts too. Yet, fate has different plans for them: Max ends up in an eerie location he doesn’t recognize and Jace gets transported to an entirely different world that works like a video game (sort of) by walking into a portal. As they travel along the lands, the two of them will encounter other individuals of many kinds, make friends new and old, gain powerful abilities, experience spectacular adventures, and obtain priceless treasures. However, Maxon and Jason will unknowingly become integral parts of a nefarious conspiracy that, if successful, will plunge both of their worlds into eternal chaos and darkness. So it’s up to them and their allies to thwart it. Side-Note: I’ll admit right off the bat that this story will be my first attempt at writing a LitRPG, so the in-game mechanics and terminology will probably look weird and be even nonsensical. If you notice something that’s out-of-place or just flat out wrong, I apologize. Not only that, it's been a while since I've wrote anything and thus I'm a little bit rusty. So please bear with me. New chapters once every Saturday or Sunday. Also, I'll be fine-tuning the grammar, punctuation, and spelling when I have the time. So expect a lot of random edits. This story is also available on ScribbleHub.
