felt the prying eyes of her mother as she stomped down the stairs the next morning. Her brown curls tangled in a mess on the top of her head, a robe tied loosely around her body.
"Sweety, please talk to me." Her mother tried to reason, but she was cut off by a gasp from her angry daughter. She looked a bit flustered as Anastasia turned towards her with a crease between her eyes brows.
"No, there's nothing to explain." Anastasia huffed, grabbing a piece of toast and retreating to her bedroom. She grumbled as she slammed her door shut, a frown displayed on her face as she sat down at the chair of her vanity. She stared at her pale freckled face for what seemed like an eternity before a knock sounded at her door.
"Anastasia, dear, Gilberts here." Anastasia sat up from her seat so fast, her knees bumping against the wood of the vanity. She gasped a bit, gripping her knee and responding with an okay.
She attempted to run her finger through her knotted hair, her nails scratching against her scalp and making her quite uncomfortable. She pulled the blue nightdress she was wearing off over her head, putting on a green one, and pulling her hair back into a braid.
She sighed, stepping down the stairs before rubbing her eyes and reaching the end. She glanced up and smiled at Gilbert, who was staring at her disheveled figure with a smile on his face. She rolled her eyes, bumping his shoulder as she walked over the door, placing her boots on her feet and tightening the laces. She grabbed her coat, wrapping it around her body and motioning for him to follow her. He followed suit, staring at the brown hair of his best friend

"You look like a complete mess." He commented, she spun around, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, That happens." She hissed, her boot hitting a rock causing it to skid through the snow. Gilbert seemed rather surprised by her outburst, pausing slightly.
"What's wrong?" He questioned, jogging up to walk next to her. Anastasia let out a shaky breath, rubbing her arm.
"My life is so messed up," she mumbled, staring down at the snow, "it was going so well. I'm doing good in school, I have friends, I can bake, I finally had an okay relationship with my mother, and then my father decided to come along. He just barged into our lives like he was always there. But that's the problem, he was never there. And I guess I was just so happy, that when I saw him sitting at the table, I-I just lost it. Every happy feeling just came crashing down, I don't know what to do."
She didn't notice the tears trickling down her cheek, or how hard she was shaking. She has been holding in all of these emotions for the longest time, and today was meant to be the day for her the breakdown. She raised a hand to her mouth, a strangled sob sounding from her throat. She gulped, her legs feeling rather weak.
"Hey, hey, it's okay Ana, everything's okay." Gilbert wrapped his arms around her. She moves her hands from her sides to grip the back of his coat, letting the tears drip down her cheeks. This is what she needed most, someone who wouldn't make fun of her when she cried.
"Let's go to my house," Gilbert spoke, placing a hand on her shoulder. Anastasia nodded, wiping away her tears with her gloved hands.

sat at Gilbert's kitchen table, him sitting across from her, kettle of tea between them. Anastasia sighed, not really enjoying the silence.
" I'm sorry about earlier, I was overreacting," Anastasia commented, taking a drink of her tea. Gilbert's eyebrows furrowed, and he shook his head.
"No, it's okay. You were not overreacting." He reached his hand over to grip hers, a sigh escaping her mouth.
"I was, wondering if I could stay here tonight. I really don't want to go back home and face my mother." Gilbert nodded, standing up and grabbing the kettle from the table. She smiled gratefully, her fingers pulling at the hem of her skirt.

It's been a hot minute since I last updated hahaha. Sorry about that, I didn't really have inspiration for writing. And I'm very sorry that this is so short, I'll try to make the best chapter longer :)

Besotted
Jericho never thought about gaining superpowers. Like everyone else in society, he simply expected his abilities to manifest on their own, but they never did. With the help of his doctor, it looks like Jericho finally hit a breakthrough, and after a few years of being powerless, things might start looking up for him. Join Jericho and others as they interact in this world where everyone has extraordinary abilities. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ HIATUS NOTE (Please read): Starting June, I will be going on a summer hiatus (around 3 months) to focus on my future career and set myself up to succeed in school. I will still be writing in the meantime and creating a backlog, but I won't be posting chapters. I apologize for this. I wish there was another way. Note: This story has multiple POVs, but the main one is Jericho. The MC grows and develops throughout the story and isn't instantly OP. I try to write ~1500 words per chapter but I write according to what I feel is suitable. (Could be more. Could be less). The content warning tags are mostly for flexible writing, but do expect it or something of the sort. This is a story suitable for older teens and adults. Schedule: New chapter every other Sunday (sometimes Monday if I'm a bit behind).

The Girl Named Rino
Oh. Hello. I didn't see you come in. No, don't worry. I don't need to hear your name. I already know what it is. I also knew that you'd come up at around this time. But, at the same time, I also didn't know. It's very hard to put into words - but that's what happens when you become the Chaos God. Your psyche gets messed up, big time. That's even more so for me, who was already warped enough to confuse reality with imagination - and, even make the rest of the universe believe that it was so. But, enough about me. Let's talk about you. You seem to come from a very far away land. It's faint, but your presence is there - in a relatively primitive planet. No wonder, no one wanted to stay in, or conquer your region of the universe - there's nothing worth controlling there. Your existence, much like your entire solar system, also seems to be pretty insignificant. Tell me, is your race capable of destroying your own world? Oh, you're already well along the way? Global Warming? Pollution? Overpopulation? Nuclear weapons? Wow... it's been many millenia since I'd last heard of such ancient concepts from someone who is actually living through it. Still, good job getting that far. That means that your world is now, at least, worth considering as a possible place to install a World System. If I find the time, I'll try surveying it. You can just thank me, later. Oh wait! What kind of person am I, not even offering my guest any hospitality. I'm ashamed. Please, take a seat. What would you like? I have everything the multiverse has to offer, whatever it is you want - I can get. Ah! After we talk, would you mind, if I asked you to do me a tiny favor? There's this girl, I want to keep tabs on. She's in one of the Worlds that I preside over, it's called Aiarthe. But, for some reason, I can't see her - not directly, at least. All I need you to do, is check up on her from time to time. Whether you do it as a pure spectator or through someone else's eyes, is entirely up to you. Really!? You would!? Wow! Thanks! You really did me, a huge solid there! For agreeing so quickly, how about I get started on surveying that planet of yours, right now!? You can help yourself, to anything in the fridge! Well, see ya!
