《Always There》22. Gem
Advertisement
While Jem was at Henry's house, I was at home. I told Mr. Symthe that I would go to the art class. His words echoed, "Great. Remember, the deadline is coming soon." I bet he encourages everyone to do the same. I have noticed other kids drawing.
After homework, I waited for Jem to come home. To pass the time, I gave Golly his dinner. Then, I noticed that Jem is late. This is very different.
The phone rang. I went to answer. "Hello?"
"Hello, who is this?"
"Gemini." At that moment, I knew it's Henry.
"Hi. Is your mom there?"
"Um... yeah."
I went to go get her. This may sound weird, but I would send Mom's suitors off the line. But, since Henry is new and doesn't seem to be attracted to Mom, I lent the phone to her.
For the rest of the evening, Mom talked to Henry. I thought they want to be more acquianted. It's all right, and no harm came along. Finally, Jem returns home. She was wearing the biggest grin. I know that with that look, it can lead to one conclusion: my twin fizzed.

The Polyglot's Rune
Fear. Regret. Memories. They all flashed before my eyes as my life began to fade away. I felt a darkness encroach upon my heart followed by a sinister foreboding. Within that moment I was asked a single question by a powerful, mystical being. “Brave being, do you wish to accomplish a great deed in your life?” “No,” I refused, but the voice did not listen. It summoned me to its world only to try to have me slaughtered. But then, I was saved by him, the princess who disguised herself as a man. He was hellbent on revenge, and he was determined to drag me down with him. This story is meant to be a bit of a mix of genres and cultures, so there are some elements that may seem xianxia like, but it's not exactly the same so I didn't tag it. It also has multiple lead characters but is written in first person. Schedule: Dropped Normal Chapter Length: approximately 3000 words Warning: Tagged [15+] for Strong Language and Violence (Gore and Profanity aren't very prevalent, but I added the warning tags just in case).
