Chapter 7: A division and decision.
Years passed and some of the children who had reach thirteen years of age now had to make the decision - either to stay on in the School of Paradeisos or to attend the School of the Beast.
“You are NOT my father”, Myrtle told Tomi's new husband, clearly making her decision. “Therefore, you have no control over my life and decision. Which of you is coming with me?”
Johnson opt to follow Myrtle to the School of the Beast while Nathan decided to continue staying behind as an eagle rider.
“Myrtle, please think this through”, Tomi wept and the look on her face clearly begging her daughter to reconsider her choice.
“Sorry, mom, I have made my choice. Today is the day I am free and independent. I will do as I please. How about you, Birdie, who will you follow?” Myrtle look into the green eyes of her best friend with her very own green eyes sneering as if to say, “Make the wrong move and that’s the end of our friendship”.
Birdie hesitated for a moment. She looked into the ocean blue eyes of her mother who seems to be begging her to make the right decision before turning to look at Eagle who had his left arm around a weeping Mads who would not stop begging with her facial expression. “I will go with Myrtle and Johnson, sorry mom and dad. I am tired of moving place to place and it’s time for me to decide my own destiny”.
That was the last time the three children were ever seen for a while. They decided to live a life of their own as they followed Jake, Bart, Edward, Adrian, Mis Strong, and many others out of the School of Paradeisos. The people who left consist mainly of these who were friends with Jake.

“How did this happen?” Eagle asked after the children who decided to leave did.
“Everybody has a choice to make and by thirteen years of age, that is when choices are made. This is not the first time, it has happened. It also looks like Jake has planning all along. He has been planning to cause this division before your wedding it seems”.
Confirming Norman’s words, Tomi spoke up, “Now I understand why Myrtle has begun distancing herself from Leonard and myself for the past three months before her 13th birthday preferring to stay over at Edward’s house most of the time. She had been taking Birdie along with her. Please forgive me, Eagle, Mads, and Lawrence”.
“It’s not your fault. Everybody has got to make their decision sometime on another. Eagle and myself have already thought Birdie the best we could. All we can hope and believe for is the best”, Mads got out of her seat beside Eagle and walked towards Tomi, hugging her best friend who was sobbing. “I thought our children who become Eagle riders having been spared our pain but it seems like it is they take after us both the good and bad”. Mads still embracing Tomi punched Eagle in the knee while laughing. “And Birdie takes after you too I haven’t forgotten”.
Mads certainly knew how to light up a room even during the saddest of times which shows as everybody laugh along before she took her rightful place beside Eagle.
“Your bright green eagle is the strongest out of all now Eagle. You will be a teacher tomorrow”. Norman spoke out.
While everyone was clapping this hands, Eagle remembered Jake making fun of him back in high school not once but several times. “You are the weakest link, Eagle. Our team is only as strong as its weakest link and I accept no weakness. You screw up the game for the rest of us and I will kill you myself”. This happened when Jake and his new friends played soccer for fun and called Eagle to come along to fill in the void as nobody was available at that time. This same incident repeated itself a month while Eagle was riding his bright green eagle only for Jake’s red eagle to easily catch up. “Still as weak as ever aren’t you. You have got everything from me. I even had Tomi before you”. Eagle at that time knew something was up but he did not catch on at that time but he did notice Jake slowly slipping back into his old ways. Although they did not get in a physical fight, his former bully was using his mouth a lot more to put him down which started the same time his red head step daughter, Myrtle distance herself from Tomi and her step father.

“Hey, Eagle. You are drifting back to the past. Let it go. That is no longer you. Focus on what is happening now”. Norman called out.

The Werewolf Cheerleader
Being a cheerleader is easier than being a werewolf. Jessica Tumbleleague is a typical teenage girl who loves being a cheerleader at Moondale High. But after an encounter with a werewolf in the woods, Jessica discovers a frightening world she never thought is real. Dangerous magic, deadly fierce spirits, and other malevolent creatures. Now Jessica must fight the forces of darkness to protect her hometown while balancing her supernatural life with her high school life. But can she control the beast within herself? Note: This is a rewrite of the original with the same name. I decided to change the third-person style to first-person because I liked Jessica's voice better. She is funny and very strong. With the story only focusing on her, I can keep the mystery suspenseful and the reader can experience what Jessica is experiencing. It is a typical YA style, but it is fun to write as your main character. There are changes, but the first and second books will be similar to the third-person chapters. Let me know what you think and I hope you will enjoy this new version of the Werewolf Cheerleader. I will post the chapters every Friday in the afternoon. P.S, there is a Werewolf Cheerleader short story published in the Tales of Dungeons, All Hallows book. Titled The Werewolf Cheerleader: Castle and Ghouls. The short is also in first-person, which made me decide to change the book series into first-person. The link is below if you want to check it out. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B08MCS82R5

Science fiction elements won't be introduced for quite some time. I currently update my work at a rate of one chapter per week. I'm also in the process of editing chapters 1 - 7, changing the format to make it more readable, and introducing more show and less tell. The reworked chapters will have (edited) after the title. All chapters after 8 have already been written in the new style. I have a Patreon page if you wish to donate. Also, there will be intense situations, some explicit violence, and although it is not an erotic work, one or two sex scenes.
