"Rogue?"
"Rogue, I need to get my phone " Ivan said .I growl in annoyance, why is he telling me , just let me sleep!
"So?" I snap
"You're laying on me" He replied. So what I was laying on him he can still home I'm not that fat.
Then it hit me, I fell asleep on Ivan! I quickly scramble of him, falling on the floor in the process.
"No, no ,no no " I repeat to myself as I run upstairs. I close the bedroom and collapse onto my bed.
Why am I doing this, what was I thinking.I was supposed to get the blanket then leave not fall asleep with him.You need to stop Rogue, you need to stop before i do something I'm going to regret. He's getting into my head, the jealousy, the arguments, the weird emotion. I'm starting to like him, I'm starting to develop feelings.I need to stop before I get hurt.
Stay away from Ivan Stone!
I didn't leave my room until it was time for us to leave.
"Rogue, are you ready let's go" I grab my bag and head downstairs, be strong,keep it together, you can do this.
I didn't want to leave , this is my home.
"No time for crocodile tears" he says whilst leaning on the door frame.
"I'm not crying, I don't cry" I snap
"Why?" he asks
"Because I don't"
"Okay" he replied whilst shaking his head.
"I don't want to go" I complain
"Then stay here" my mood was suddenly lifted.
"Really!"
"No, now hurry up" he snaps
Theres no point in getting emotional,I turn off all the lights and lock the door behind me, i put the key back and get in the car.
"Are you actually going to cry about it?"

"No I'm actually not" I reply
"You can go back there another time, but you have to come back"
"When?" I ask with excitement
"Whenever but you can't take the piss"
"Are you joking ?"
"No"
The thought of being able to leave whenever I want, made it a lot easier to go back to the mansion.
We got to the mansion later on that day, the girls were used to me disappearing on jobs, some still were jealous that I was with Ivan some even felt sorry for me.
I was debating wether or not to inform Tasha of what happened on the weekend. The last thing I need is her opening her big mouth and exaggerating everything.
"Rogue, how did the job go?" Tasha asked, whilst we both laid on the bed.
"Fine,usual really nothing happened , we was in then we were out"
"What about Ivan?"
"What about Ivan?" I reply with fear in my voice.Does she know what happened?
"What was he like?"
"Nothing happened,ok" I snap
"Ok" she slowly replies , unaware of why I snapped at her.
"Sorry"
"It's cool, have you spoken to Nicole yet?"
"No nor do I want to, it's clear that we weren't supposed to be friends so I'm not going to bother with her"
"Come on Rogue, what happens when we have an argument are you gonna stop speaking to me is well"
"No"
"Then why are you doing it with Nicole?"
"It's not the same thing"
The conversation stopped when one of the girls banged on my door.
"Come on let's see what's going on" I say. Tasha gets up and I follow her out one room.
All the girls were in the kitchen, talking and muttering.Nicole was sat on the chair and everyone was surrounding her.

"Is that everyone?" she asks
All the girls nod their heads and reply.
"So I've got some important yet unexpected news to tell you"
The girls look around at each other trying to figure out what was the secret was or what she was going to say.
"I'm Colts mate and he's mine" everyone's jaw has dropped in shock , even mine.I look over to Tasha who has the exact same expression on her face.
"I'm leaving-"
"Where are you going" one of the girls interrupted
"Only to the other part of the mansion,I'd obviously be with Colt I'll still see you all just not as often" she sadly spoke
"I'm going to miss you all, I've grown to love you like my sisters, even though it's not that far away ,it's still sad" she says whilst wiping her eyes.
The rest of the day the girls helped her clear out get stuff and pack up.Everyone was gathered by the door to say goodbye.
"Why is everyone making a big deal ,she's literally going down the hall" I say. Tasha looked at me and shook her head. It was true everyone was acting like Nicole was walking to her death.
"Don't be a heartless cow" Tasha snapped whilst nudging my arm
"I'm not a heartless cow, I just know when to over react and someone moving to another room is NOT one of those times" I defend
Nicole came round to hug everyone, Tasha was next. It caught me by surprise when she pulled me into a hug. She pulled away before I could return the affection. She got her stuff and then left.
"See not everyone holds a grudge"
"Whatever"
""Heartless cow" she repeats whilst gently tugging my hair.
Me and Tasha were sitting outside, when she was talking about how she wants to leave the mansion for a little while.Then I remembered what Ivan told me.
"You have to swear not to tell anyone this ok" Tasha's attention was immediately brought back to me.
"Yeah I swear, why?" She curiously asks.
"Well ,it's not set in stone but when I was with Ivan on the weekend, the subject came up about me not wanting to leave and he told me that I could get to go home ,once in a while"
"What!, no way that's great ,oh my god can I come back with you, I promise to behave" she asks with her puppy dog eyes, doing her best to get me to say yes.
"Of course, but thats if you're aloud I mean we can't just leave when we want to"
"I can't wait,it will be so much fun" he face was filled with excitement.I just hope Ivan was telling the truth and would actually let me leave,even though this place wasn't my home I would always come back.

The Fate of The Summoned (being ReWritten)
The Fate of The Summoned In the world of Aethion things are vastly different than on Earth. There is Magic and Monsters, as well as Demons and Dragons. Throughout the history of the world there have been many wars, both between all the various nations and kingdoms and between those nations and kingdoms and the Demonic forces lead by a Demon King or Lord. There are times that the Demons gain so much more power than the other nations, or that the others are embroiled in a war against each other and the lone nation is targeted by the demons. It was during these occasions that the various Gods and Goddesses started giving two things to the races. The First of these things were the Blessings, magical blessings given to the worth for chosen things. The Second of these things were the Summoning rituals, magic rituals that could summon beings from somewhere else, that would be Chosen, by the gods. These beings have almost always come from our world, Earth. It has been centuries since this practice began and the countries of the world have almost always flourished for a time after a Chosen or group of them were Summoned. All of the countries treat the Summoned well, almost like kings or princes in their own right. Well, not all countries, there are some that have treated them almost like slaves, though those countries don’t usually last long. There is one though, that has lasted, for a long time due to their connection to their Patron Deity, the Goddess of Light. They only accept certain types of Summoned and they dote on certain members of the country more than others. Several years ago they performed a summoning, as they were being plagued by overflow from the dungeons. Now they, like the other countries of Aethion, have performed the ritual to fight against the current Demon King, who is said to possess a Blessing. This is a story about Fate, and those that fight against it and those who accept it. In this story the main character(s) do not fight their fate, like those in my other story, rather they embrace it and let it shape them, though that does not mean they are total slaves to it. While there will be similarities to most other Hero sumoning novels, i hope the Mcs abilities and such will make it unique.
