《Big Brothers | Completed ✔》Chapter 2
Advertisement
I was just sleeping peacefully when all of sudden somebody grabs my arms and legs, and I'm lifted into the air.
My eyes shot open and I see Conner holding onto my ankles and Drake holding my wrists, they're just smirking at me.
"Morning Harp," Conner says and he and Drake start to walk. I don't know where they're taking me, but I don't want to know either.
"We're going to pay your twin a little visit," Drake told me. I just rolled my eyes not bothering to say anything.
We entered Hayden's room but my head banged against the door since it kind of closed.
"Ow!" I whine, Conner and Drake literally threw me on Hayden's bed. Neil is spinning on the desk chair, while Hayden was sitting on his bed.
I glared at all of them, "What do you idiots want?"
"Watch it, Harp, we can beat you right here right now," Neil smirks, as I narrowed my eyes at him.
"Shut up Neil," I demanded, he smirked.
Conner snorted, "Acting like a big girl now huh?" I just scowled at him.
"Leave me alone! I want to go back to my room!" I whined, they just laughed in my face.
"Shut it shorty," Drake told me, I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not even that short, idiot," I exclaimed. He raised an eyebrow at me.
Okay, just to clear things up I am not short. I'm 5'5 which is average I guess, but all my brothers call me short just to bother me. Hayden, Conner and Neil are at least 5'11, Drake is probably at 6'0, and Lee, Leo, and Aaron are the tallest at 6'4.
"Anyways," Conner said, "why were you in my room yesterday?" He told me while smirking.

"Oh you know, just got lost," I answered and mentally face-palmed because of that excuse.
"Really? Because I'm pretty sure that you told me that dad was calling me, but when I got down he said he wasn't." I looked down on the floor.
I sighed and gave in, "Lee and Leo wanted their things back, so they asked me to do it because their too lazy to do anything in life!" Hayden and Neil snickered.
Conner rolled his eyes and pointed to the door, "Leave."
"Gladly," I replied sarcastically but before I left I turned to them once more, "this isn't your room by the way."
I went down the stairs to see Lee, Leo and Aaron on the couch. As I was walking to the kitchen, Aaron stopped me.
"Hey, Harp." He said I glared at him because everyone in this household knows that I hate the nickname.
"Hi Aaron," I told smugly, as the twins watched in amusement.
"So," Lee started, "we heard you got kidnapped this morning." I looked at him confused but then knew what he meant.
"How do you know?" I asked them, Lee just glanced at Leo before answering.
"Drake told us." Leo finished, I just stared at them but then got bored so I turned but as I did I ran smack into a chest.
I look up to see my evil twin smiling at me, "Watch where you're going next time, Harp."
"Well don't stand so close to me then!" I whined, he just rolled his eyes.
I tried to run away but my luck is not on point today, "Where do you think you're going?" Hayden had a strong grip on my shirt.
"To Mars," I told him while glaring, I heard the twins and Aaron snicker behind me.

"Can you guys help me?" He asked the buffoons behind me, they smirked at me and nodded.
"No! Don't listen to him, this isn't fair!" I told them while struggling, Leo came up to me and pinned me down on the couch.
"Stop, get off me you fatty!" I groaned and heard Hayden and Lee chuckle.
"I'm not fat! You are." Leo retorted, I huffed.
"Nice comeback stupid," I smirked, but then he started jabbing his finger in my sides which made me squeal.
"I want to know who your favourite brother is Harp," he said while doing that smirk.
"Fine! You're my favourite," I said quietly. He smiled and let me up as I shoved him out of the way.

Fragments from the Wildlands
“Your first death is always the hardest.” Miguela was the third-born child of a well-off merchant family and knew from around the time she could speak that her life’s path was already decided. She was to become an Orator, as was Xandran tradition. However, Miguela had an affinity with the magikal arts and somehow found herself studying at the Academy. She did just enough to keep up with her studies but never found the motivation to apply herself and “reach her potential,” as her instructors often said. It was not that Miguela was uninterested in the arts. Rather, she knew her time at the Academy ultimately did not matter. Whenever Miguela returned home, she would become an Orator, and that would be that. Or so she believed until, one day, an opportunity appeared that would change her life. Miguela was offered the chance to join a research team tasked with a mission of the utmost importance to the future of the Five Kingdoms. She could not turn down the prospect of regaining control of her life and finally finding a purpose for herself. Of course, Miguela might soon discover that offers that appear too good to be true are usually fraught with lies. Welcome to Five Kingdoms of Cordizal! Question: What is the Five Kingdoms of Cordizal? I often get asked this type of question about my stories by friends, bloggers, and potential readers. The Five Kingdoms of Cordizal is a high-fantasy epic universe that is the setting for most of my stories. The foundation of the universe is its multicultural, multiracial setting with several sentient races attempting to carve their legacy and survive. The world is fully fleshed out and vibrant with a rich and mysterious history not based on Tolkien mythology. This brings me to magic. To me, magic is an essential part of the fantasy genre, so, of course, there is magic in the Five Kingdoms universe. However, one critical part of the Five Kingdoms universe is that magic is an abundant commodity that is a part of everyday life and not some plot device used to drive the story. In short, the Five Kingdoms universe is the setting of epic fantasy stories with deep characters and world-building. I try to tell as many different types of stories as possible in the universe, and hopefully, you can find something for you in it.

8 93Sherds
Linus falls into another world, arriving on an archipelago. This is a story about exploration, and archaeology is a major theme! Studying history and pre-history is a favorite of mine, so this is a project using my research to build a world. One of the magic systems has rpg inspired elements, but this isn't a litrpg at its core. I'm an art student and haven't written much, but I like telling stories. This is largely just for fun, my own spin on the RR other world formula. (Placeholder cover is from the Palazzo Massimo in Rome)
8 254Headbutter
I hate my (new) life. Who the hell sticks a man in a tunnel with flesh eating insects an unknown amount of distance beneath the ground with the nerve to say they're offering you a 'better chance in a second life' with no further explanation. If I ever find the HR department responsible for this ridiculous relocation I will simply punch all of them in the face multiple times- actually screw that. If I ever find any of these idiots i'm not just gonna punch them in their face, I'm gonna head-but them in their soon to be bloody, crooked as can be noses.
