《My Brothers' Enemy》12. Damn The Drama
Advertisement
Emma's POV
the loud and noisy sound of my alarm boomed throughout the room, making me groan in annoyance. i reached my hand for it, trying to find it somewhere between my legs, or on the floor. once i reached for it at the end of the bed, i snoozed it, and threw it away, not really caring where it will land. a small smile took its position on my face, as i snuggled more into my comfy duvet.
''i hope that day comes before i die, and i see you waking up on your own,'' a voice said, as the door suddenly opened, ''i am going to adopt this poor baby,'' dad said as he took my phone from the floor.
''good, adopt him, and let me sleep,'' i said lazily, and shut my eyes again. i heard him sigh, and then his footsteps started getting closer to the bed.
''too bad you forgot how daddy used to wake you up,'' he said confidently, and i could hear his smirk. i was about to throw sass at him back, but his hands started tickling the life out of me. i shrieked up from the bed, my mouth hanging open, and choking on my own laughs.
''s-stop! STOP!'' i quickly ran downstairs, with him following me. accidentally, i stumbled on Logan, who smirked widely, and lifted me up in the air, and lastly throwing me on the couch. i giggled and struggled to get out of his hold, as he had his hands secured around both of my feet tickling them, and dad from the other side tickling my neck.
''OH MY GOD! am gonna die!'' i screamed for help, but of course mum like always was filming us with a smile on her face. this woman needs to be more into the scene!
''Lucas!!'' i screamed on top of my lungs, still giggling like a 12 year old child. suddenly, Lucas descended the stairs, with a concerned expression on his face. once he saw what was happening, he caught Logan's legs, and started pulling him away from me, making me kind of free.
''yassss!'' i shouted, as i held dad from his shoulders trying to create a gap between us, so that i would be the one in control.
''this is getting too intense,'' mum remarked still holding her mobile phone in her hand.
''you should come ad help! i know you are a feminist,'' i said still trying to push dad away from me, but he wouldn't budge.
''don't try to get me involved in this horror movie!'' she glared at me, and moved a little bit forward trying to get a better angle. i laughed at her, and suddenly Lucas pulled me away saving me from the big bear that was suffocating me.
''ha ha ha ha!'' i snickered at dad, putting both hands on my hip. dad rolled his eyes, and muttered 'whatever' leaving to the kitchen.
''i am going to eat my sorrow away,'' he commented making me burst out laughing.
i got up to my room, and quickly entered the bathroom. my day started out good, hopefully it remains like that throughout the day, cause I'm not in the mood for another breakdown. taking a shower quickly, i got dressed in a black leggings, and a grey over-sized hoodie. my hair was wet, so i quickly put it in french braids, and descended the stairs with high energy.
''what do we have for breakfast?'' i asked as i sat on one of the kitchen stools.

''well i was too busy filming you guys, so you are going to have cereal,'' mum shrugged carelessly, earning a snort from dad. her head turned to him, and she gave him a confused look.
''me, at the age of 47, will eat cereal?'' he asked having an .
''cut the silly talk, i saw you snacking on lucky charms at 3:00 am today,'' Lucas said as he poured the milk in the plates. dad's jaw hanged open, as he was out of words.
''see? i am not the one fighting you any more, it's your own kids,'' mum remarked in a bad-ass tone.
''dayum mum,'' i winced, teasing dad.

''isn't there anything that you're hiding?'' Carter asked me giving me a side glance. i took my time thinking before answering, as i already know Carter wouldn't say anything without some trouble.
''no?'' i more of asked instead of answered. his grin grew as he looked at me. ''cut the crab, and tell me what are you thinking of!''
''oh yeah, i feel the vibe too,'' Abby said as the three of us were walking down the hallway to the lockers area.
''yeah you will know in a while, and it's going to be the greatest drama ever,'' he trailed off, ''i should go to the boys,'' with that he ran to the field.
''what are you hiding, bish?'' Abby pinched my arm once Carter disappeared from our sight. rubbing the place she pinched, i started thinking what could probably be the thing i was hiding.
then my mind brought me back to- OH GOD!
OH GOD...
no, no, no! that can't happen!
''what the hell is this school talking about?'' Lucas's voice boomed, making me shut my eyes as i specifically understood what this school was probably talking about.
''Emma!'' Logan called out for me making me turn my back slowly and dramatically. i looked at him with fake confusion drawn on my face.
''what were you doing with Noah yesterday?'' Lucas asked anger shown clearly on his face.
''which Noah?''
''Noah Knight,''
''what Knight?''
''how Knight?''
''i don't know,''
''know what?''
''i don't can't concentrate,'' i finished the silliness off by a foreign language. Abby clutched on my hand like a 3 year old baby.
''what the hell is happening?'' she whispered, and i shook my head in response.
''oh god! did you hear the news? this new girl Emma was carried yesterday to the doctor by Noah! how do you think Stella will react?'' some random girl asked her other friend as they were passing by us, and i don't think they recognized that they were the center of attention, as the whole hallway was dead silent by now listening to the new drama of the week.
''CARRIED? TO THE DOCTOR?!'' Lucas and Logan both screamed in the same time causing the 2 girls to notice what was happening. they both chuckled nervously, and jogged to the crowd to continue watching the scene.
''what the hell is happening here? where is that Emma?!'' Stella said in her usual high pitched voice, as she broke into the crowd, and finally making an appearance.
''i think i am about to throw up,'' i whispered to Abby, who nodded vigorously.
''Emma is here, what do you want? i mean I'm Emma,'' i cleared my throat, as she rolled her eyes at my blabbering.
''what were you doing yesterday with Noah?'' she asked giving me her bitchy tone. Lucas and Logan instantly nodded folding their arms on their chests.

''why don't you go and ask your boyfriend?'' i retorted finally after founding my own voice. ''Lucas, Logan! is this how we talk? can we please talk some other time?''
''what is happening here?'' Noah asked as he came into the view. he was wearing a dark blue t-shirt that hugged his muscles like a second layer of skin, and his hair was messy yet put together in a very, very good way.
''baby,... what happened yesterday?'' Stella asked twirling a lock of her hair around her finger, making me shudder in cringe.
so cheesy, god!
''i asked what is happening here?'' Noah asked, completely ignoring Stella, like she was a house-fly. i smiled a bit in satisfaction, but quickly hid it behind my angry expression.
''what is happening is that there is a gossip going around that you carried my sister to the doctor yesterday,'' Logan said with a sharp tone, glaring at me. Noah looked at me, his eyes asking for permission if it's okay to say what happened. i looked around me noticing how much of a drama were creating. i shrugged as a response.
''yes, your sister fell yesterday while practicing and i had to take her,'' Noah answered with no regret what so ever, making my hear beats a little faster. suddenly, the whole crowd gasped including my brothers, Carter, and Abby who clutched onto my arm tighter.
i raked a hand on my face, not really believing what the hell was happening. the drama we were creating, it was like out of a movie. too over-dosed to be real.
''baby, you didn't need to do this,'' Stella looked at Noah, who was not sparing her a glance, but looking at me with an intense gaze in his eyes.
''what do you mean fell while practicing? are you okay, little one?'' Lucas asked concerned, his hand reaching for my face. my attention shifted from Noah to Lucas, and i nodded my head.
''oh god,'' Logan sighed, as he passed a hand through his hair. he looked at me with a flustered look on his face. the bell rang after a second of silence, making me the first one to go and leave the over-rated crowd. i walked to my calculus class, that was empty, as everyone was gathered outside.
i walked to my usual desk, and slumped down with a big sigh, that i knew i was holding. waiting for people to enter, i was faced with disappointment, when the first one who entered was Stella. she had an angry face, while walking towards me.
''listen here, bitch. i didn't really know you are that stupid! why the hell can't you understand that Noah is mine?'' she asked, folding her arms in front of her, which didn't help in anything but push her already stuffed boobs up.
and for a moment there i felt attacked. lol...
''who else is yours? Logan and Lucas are yours too, oh and even Carter! how many of those you actually own? i see you flirting with any drop of testosterone in this building for god's sake! but you know what? i don't care. and for your knowledge it's not really in my hand when do i faint,'' i said, getting irritated with this silly, narrow minded creature. why the hell does she think that everything revolves around her pinky?
''oh shut up! this is my last warning for you, if i see you even glancing towards Noah, you will see another side of me that you won't like,'' she threatened giving me a glare. i burst out laughing, clutching my stomach. her eyes went wide, and she waited for an explanation.
''oh you mean like last time? the time when i almost broke your arm? you know what Stella? you are pathetic, and it's going to be so hard for you to accept that you can't do to me anything,'' i said, while looking at her as if she is the most ridiculous thing ever.
suddenly, her lips curled in a sick smirk, followed by a low chuckle.
''we will see about that, sweet heart,'' with that said, she took her seat in one of the front seats. raising my eyebrow, i sat back down, waiting for the class to begin. after a while the people started coming in, taking their seats. Noah also entered the class, and came to sit next to me like usual. without a word, i looked in front of me, and waited for the teacher to enter.
''granny asked about you,'' he said breaking the silence, making a grin take its position on my face.
''tell her i said hi,'' i smiled remembering how sweet she was. he nodded slowly, his gaze embracing me. he chuckled shaking his head with a smile on his face, and then looked in front of him when the teacher entered.
after the session ended, i packed my stuff, and got out followed by Noah. i stopped in my tracks when i heard my name being called by Asher.
''hey Emma, would you like to accompany me to the bio lab?'' he asked sweetly, and i nodded simply. it wouldn't hurt, i guess. i heard a growl from Noah before i left, but i chose to ignore it instead. we reached the lab, and sat in our assigned seats, when my phone's notification sound popped. i fetched my phone from my pocket, and the sender was Noah.
'that boy has bad intentions, Emma'
with that i closed my phone, and threw it in my bag instead.
''morning class! today is the day you dread the most, i know, but it's about time any ways. i prepared some folded papers having the names of different topics in our curriculum. each pair will come out here, and choose a paper, the topic that you will get, you will have to do a project on, and the deadline is 2 weeks from now.'' after the teacher explained how this will work, he started calling out names to go and choose a paper.
''Emma and Asher, one of you come,'' the teacher said. i looked at Asher, who pointed for me to go, so i quickly stood up from my place, and chose one of the few papers that were left.
''genetic mutation,'' i announced, and went back to my seat.
''i know shit about biology, for your info,'' Asher remarked making me smile a bit.
''don't worry, we will help each other, just set the date,'' i said as i opened the book on the assigned page.
''any time you like, we will probably see after class,'' he said, and i nodded in agreement. the class after that rolled by so fast, and it was lunch time. i walked myself to the cafeteria, even-though i didn't want to go, knowing that there was going to be a huge conversation that i am not prepared for to be honest.
''she is here,'' Logan said, as he glanced at me. i walked tiredly, and sat down next to Abby who was texting someone.
99.9% Levi.
''so what happened, little one? why did you faint?'' Lucas asked in concern, and everyone on the table shifted their attention to me.
''nothing really, i was practicing, and the sun was too strong for me, so i fainted. you were there though, but you went to change, and didn't see me,'' i said, while eating my fries.
''are you sure there is nothing wrong?'' Logan asked soothing my hair down. i nodded my head, and we all started eating. the guys were too involved in talking about football, while Abby was throwing questions at me about how i am really doing, but i chose not to tell her about the text. there is no point in concerning her about something most probably will be a silly and sick game.
i finished eating my burger, so i stood up to go and throw the wrapper. i went to the trash can, and threw it, and that's when someone pulled me form my arm, and out of the cafeteria. i was about to scream, but then Noah's face appeared in front of me, making me breath in relief.
''you should really do something about your pulling habits!'' i snapped getting all angry and flustered.
''what did i tell you about Asher, Emma?'' he asked totally ignoring what i said. sighing, i crossed my arms together.
''are we back again to this topic?'' i asked annoyed by this whole Asher thing.
''i know the intentions of boys because i am one of them, and i know when i see an ass-hole like him,'' he said between gritted teeth. why is he so angry anyways?
''why do you care any ways?'' i retorted back giving him a serious look.
''princess, don't you already know? you are mine.''
XOXO
plus, i really want you guys to create book covers for the book, cause i really suck, but I'm trying though...

The White Horde (Revised)
The rewritten version of the same ongoing story, recast into Past Tense and lightly edited. Inspired by the intrigue, drama, and destruction whispered to us by ancient history, this story is set in a world where magic is slowly dying, and decadent empires struggle against each other as well as against the barbarian hordes pushing ever westward. The story is told from the viewpoints of three people whose actions will change the fate of nations and empires alike: Amazonia. More than just a female gladiator but a champion of the arena, she will win her freedom at a price: to become a Reaver Knight not seen since the days of ancient Babylonia, with a mission to save the empire that enslaved her from destruction at the hands of a rival empire, the Sasnayams. Wysper. A Celtic priestess stolen away from her homeland by Muzen, high priest of the Sasnayam deity Yun-Kax, she possesses a mana node like a second heart inside her body which Muzen rips out each time he 'sacrifices' her to their god to appease the masses. Despite her strong will, everyone has a limit, and Muzen's actions have driven Wysper close to the edge of suicide. Greywolf. Son of the infamous Shadow-walker, Ghostdog, and the Celestial Asena, who was once revered as the Wolf-mother goddess, but now guards caravans for drinking money. His boring life will change when his impulsive act puts Wysper's life in danger, yet saving her risks his death, or enslavement at Muzen's hands. And all the while, the White Horde sits on the edge of empires, biding its time...

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
