CHAPTER 13
I walk down the hall to meet Portia in an empty room with white shiney tiles and a beautiful essence to it. She stands at the end of the room and I watch my leather black boots as they step on the flooring. They hardly make any noise. I step until I am in front of Portia and she shows me a big smile.
"I am going to help you find your real talent today, Katniss! Let's start from A to Z order. First up is Acting. Oh ummm I don't think we'll need to test that. Okay, next is Arts and Crafts."
I groan as she takes out beading kits and multiple craft items I don't even know the names of. I take the beads carefully an try to string them one by one. But I forgot the clasp so they all come tumbling down.
"Err .... so your knack isn't arts and crafts. How about Artictecture?"
She gives me a sheet plan and tells me to build it out of old fashioned legos. The plans also tell me what colors to use. At the end of that experiment, my creation looks like a green slug.
"Not Articteture either .... hmmm ...."
We continue like this forever and I fail at all of the attempts of finding a talent. When we hit singing, I'm hesitant to start.
"Katniss? Hello? Can you sing a song for me?"
"Oh, ummm yea, I guess. What song?"
"How about the song Peeta told everyone you sang in music class. What was the name of it? Ahhh, the valley song."
"Uhh alright."
With that, I begin.
"Somewhere deep in the valley
Children are playing
With their little toys
And their little spirits
Roam around free
In the haze of a summer day

Oh somewhere deep in the valley
The grass grows as long as it wants
The grass grows as green as it wants
The grass grows as thick as it wants
Somewhere deep in the valley.
Somewhere deep in the valley
Happy couples
Live their lives
Watching their children
Or watching others children
Boys and girls kiss under the stars
Somewhere deep in the valley
And the fireworks spark
Somewhere deep in the valley
And the fireflies glow
Somewhere deep in the valley
And somewhere deep in the valley,
Is happiness."
Octavia stares at me. I stare back. She keeps staring at me. I continue to stare back.
"I- I think we found your talent."
"No way, I am NOT singing in front of people I don't know! I am NOT singing for the capitol."
"Please, Katniss? Peeta was right, you are an amazing singer!"
"Hush, I am not. No, No, No, No, No! I would be too scared."
"So you are too scared to sing in front of people but not scared to volunteer for your sister to go into the Hunger Games twice?!"
"Now that you say it that way ....."
I begin to cry. Prim would have loved to see me sing. I can imagine her bright face gleaming with happiness and smiles. Prim with her eyes glowing, she would watch me. I'd do anything for her, even if it was singing in front of people. I know she'd want me to do it.
Between sobs I say; " Alright. I'll sing, but only for Prim. Only for Prim."
Octavia hugs me and says a bunch of encouraging words then lets me go back to my room. Tears still wracking me body, I walk the stairs up to my bedroom, slam and lock the door behind me. I cry myself to a half sleep before I can let Peeta in who is knocking at my door, hearing my cries. I wonder what he is going through. Much less than me I can only guess. After wondering that for a while and still hearing Peeta telling me to let him in, I fall asleep completely, dreading when I will sing on stage.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe. It's unfathomable, utterly evil, and likes to be called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic, and he'd be damned if he let something as small as this set him back. When Damien started his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy. However, when he's assigned to room with a strange girl that has magic that even Henry is wary of, Damien realizes things might not be so easy. He sets out to accomplish his life goal of becoming a powerful mage, all the while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that's created a persona to act like a teenager, and a new roomate that's far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles to deal with the rammifications of the monster within him, a disturbing fact comes to life: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane, and he's the only one that can stop them. NOTE: This story is progression fantasy with some very basic litRPG elements (such as a wristband that shows a character's stats). It is not a full on litRPG - it's a progression fantasy story with litRPG elements. The story will contain some romance, but it will not be explicit nor will it take over the story. It starts off slow, but will pick up speed quickly around chapter 26. Enjoy! My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror was origonally started as a way to thank my patreons. I will be keeping the patreon updated 15 chapters in advance. Enjoy! Cover art by Skyedrun!
