《Buried with Secrets》Chapter Four: Cindy Gabriels
Advertisement
Cindy runs into the cafeteria. "Bailey! Where is she?"
"Ooh she can rhyme. Everyone applaud Cindy!" Lindsey yells. "Seriously though, I don't know what your talking about."
"Rylan went to change her clothes after Mila threw water over them. And now she is nowhere to be found. Her phone was in the parking lot. This is no coincidence. Where. Is. She?"
"Someone finally kidnapped that bitch? Damn I wish it was be. Epic." Lindsey says.
Cindy steps closer to Lindsey, ready to punch her in the face.
"Cindy, Lindsey has been with me the whole time and Mila was in the same class as Alexus. None of us did it." Alana explains to her sister.
Cindy sighs "fine." Then her phone rings, she looks at the caller ID. "Shit.."
"Hello? Mr Anderson?"
"Rylan is not answering her phone and I've received a call that she is not in her classes. Do you know where she is? She left upset this morning." He explains.
Cindy takes a deep breath "no one knows where she is.. her car disappeared and her phone was in the parking lot. I think something bad happened."
"Why.. how!?"
"Everyone thinks you murdered Daytuso. Somebody wants revenge. My guess? Her family."
"Call me if you see or hear anything."
"Cindy how could you? This is going to end in a war." Alana says full of disbelief.
"You worry about your friends, I'll worry about mine. Lets go home."
That night during dinner there is a lot of tension between the sisters. Cindy stares at Alana before finally speaking up ''how did I get stuck with a twin sister that stupid.''
''Seriously Cindy? What did I ever do to you?''
''Being born.''

''Like I had a choice in that.''
''You could have died.''
She sees the tears forming in her sisters eyes, she does feel a bit guilty. All her life she's been mean to Alana, but when it comes to it she will protect her sister at all costs. Even if it doesn't seem like it now.
''Alana I-''
''No just stop. You Always go too far.'' Alana gets up and runs to her room, crying.
Just then she hears her mother silently crying, she doesn't know where she went wrong. Why is one of her daughters so mean? Was it because their father left them or was she just a bad mother?
''Mom, I didn't mean it, it just came out.''
''That's the problem Cindy. It Always just comes out and you don't care who you hurt in the process. Every day I have to deal with your mean comments towards your sister and me.''
Cindy looks down, feeling guilty. Her mother was great, she was a single mom from the moment she and her sister were born. Struggeling to keep 2 jobs and raising twin girls was a lot to take. Cindy's adittude didn't help.
''I just can't do this anymore Cindy. You need to change. You can't keep doing this.'' Her mother gets up and walks out of the dining room to wash the dishes, leaving Cindy all alone.
She decides to go up to her room. When she's there, she locks her door and starts screaming. She's not angry, she's sad. Sad that she treats the people who she cares about like shit. Sad that nobody likes her, not even her friends.
Cindy never knew how to deal with sadness, it's an emotion that she doesn't want to feel. So whenever she gets sad, she just screams and screams till her lungs hurt. Forcing her mother and sister to listen to her discomfort. Knowing there's nothing they can do to help her.

'Cindy Gabriels, meanest bitch of them all. I wonder, does your family hate you as much as everyone else does?''
''What do you want Daytuso?'' Cindy turns around to face the girl.
''Nothing, just wondering really. I mean you treat Alana like shit., who else?''
''You know nothing about me or my family, so why don't you just back the hell off?'' She says, trying to threaten Daytuso.
''How does your father feel about your behaviour?'' Daytuso continues, clearly not impressed by Cindy's threat.
''Oh nevermind, I forgot, he saw you and thought 'I'm not raising this demon child' and left'' Daytuso said while laughing ''Maybe I should send him a video of how you treat people and talk about him. I'm sure he would give your mother a hard time.''
''You wouldn't dare. It would hurt Alana as well, and she's your friend right?''
''Yeah, that's why you are going to keep your mouth shut. Or I will give you a hard time.'' Daytuso says before leaving.
Cindy just stands there, in front of her locker. Speechless, wanting revenge.

8 842Blair Nys: Blood and Benevolence
Blair is a young man and even of royal heritage. As such his life has followed a strict plan since birth. Only for it to suddenly, in the time span of a finger snipping, change. Connections to another world opened up. Humans with powers made of the wildest imaginations, stepped out of them, calling themselves cultivators. Naturally, earth’s population went into an uproar. One piece of information created an especially great stir. The cultivators were there to pick disciples. Millions rushed to them, and Blair wanted to be one of them. There was just one problem. His lord father was strictly against interaction with those magical beings. He always dreaded a foreign power gaining influence in his court. Well, the old man never changes, and now it was the same as ever. His sister wasn´t even allowed to study abroad. However, all his senses told Blair that the future lay in the cultivator's hands. His plan was to gain knowledge, power, and maybe influence. Then he would return. One night he simply vanished in the darkness, away from his father’s claws. Will he succeed? That is hard to tell. The immortal world is an unforgiving place, even worse than earth. It’s just that Blair doesn’t know that yet. Can he survive there, and gain a footing in the new era of qi and godly hermits? Only time will tell, and Blair has to fight for every minute. Authors note: Give the story a try. It’s my personal blend of qi, cultivation, and struggles of morality and power. If I can deliver on all that is another question, but I will give it my best. As a further note, I am not using any of the usual strict realms and extreme power differences. It’s more about gathering and refining qi. Whoever uses his chances, sneak attacks, intuitions, and skills in a better way wins. However, having more or better qi will help, but I am not at a point where I have written a lot of that, so I might promise too much. Thanks for reading so far and checking my synopsis out, now you might give the story a try. Have fun. The picture is from JCK5D (Pixabay)
