《■ Helpless ■ Gilbert Blythe ■》An open invite to my heart
Advertisement
"Well, well, well. I'm feeling lucky. It's not every day that you're blessed with a visit from the Majesty herself."
Victoria's jaw clenched instantly when the door opened and revealed Billy Andrews right in front of her with a cocky smirk while leaning against the door.
"Listen, I don't have the time. Just give this to your parents or whatever you want to do." Victoria said as she handed Billy the letter. Billy snatched the letter from her hands and opened it. He quickly read what was written in elegant writing.
"Oh look at that. I'm invited to your house. Guess you have no choice but to spend more time with me." Billy said, the smirk still on his face. "Actually, my house is big enough for me to distance myself away from you."
Victoria turned to leave but Billy called out to her before she could. "What is your problem?" Victoria turned to look at him, with fury on her face. "My problem? What's your problem? I did nothing to you but you for some reason have it against me. I don't know why and frankly I don't care just leave me alone."
"What's going on here?" Victoria looked at where an older woman, who must be Billy's mum, walked towards the two. Even Billy had a slight look of panic on his face when he saw his mother.
Mrs Andrews took the letter that was in his hands and read it over. She tore her gaze off the letter and smiled at Victoria. "That must make you an Edwards, I heard about you and your family arriving. And you must be Victoria... My children have mentioned you a couple of times."
Victoria looked nervous, they must have told her plenty of horrible things. From the way she acts, to how she stepped on Billy's foot and was almost about to attack him. "Billy go inside while I talk to Miss Edwards."

Billy looked at Victoria before he left with a sly smile as he seemed to have thought that his mother would be telling her how what she had done to him was barbaric.
"I heard about what happened at school and I must apologize for the behaviour of my son." Victoria looked at the woman incredulously, whatever she was expecting she didn't expect an apology.
Victoria stayed silent and continued to listen to what the woman had to say. "I know how he can be and I try to show him that the way he acts can be wrong but it never seems to stick. But Jane and Prissy seem to think that you're nice enough."
Victoria cleared her throat, not sure how to respond to that. "Umm, thank you." "Anyway, thank you for the invitation. We'll be sure to come."
The girl left feeling very confused. She had no idea what was exactly happening. Victoria continued to go on her rounds, while she met people who she never met or even other children who she met in school.
One thing is for sure, neither Josie Pye nor Victoria felt thrilled when they came face to face with the other. Victoria simply told her that she hopes that she would come and left back to Baelfire.
Victoria groaned as she hopped down from Baelfire once again. She was tired of hopping up and down from him and talking to other people. Victoria hated socializing. The only thing that made her feel better was the fact that the stack of letters seemed to almost be at its end.
She knocked on the door and waited for a while. After a minute more of looking at the ground and waiting for someone to answer, she decided to knock again.

"Coming!"
Victoria's eyes opened wide when she heard the voice of a person who she was so familiar with. She quickly made sure that all the hair was in its place and straightened out her clothing.
The door finally opened and Victoria instantly lightened up when she saw the smiling face of Gilbert Blythe. "Hey, Victoria. What are you doing here?"
"I have something for you." Victoria took out a letter from the inside of her coat and handed it to him. "It's an invitation. My mother is hosting this gathering or something and she would like you to come."
Gilbert took the letter gently into his own hands. He stared at it for a while before looking back at Victoria. "I'm sure that I can come. Who exactly did she invite?" He added as he fiddled with his hand.
Victoria thought for a second. "Ummm.. pretty much the entire town.. yeah I think that's accurate."
Gilbert nodded. "Well tell your mother that I'm sure to drop by. Although it would have been better if the entire town didn't have to come."
Victoria looked at him as she raised her eyebrows. "Oh really? And why is that?" Victoria asked with genuine curiosity. "It will be harder for me to spend time with you. You know just the two of us.." Gilbert said with a joking smile on his face.
It didn't take long until Victoria burst out laughing. "Gilbert Blythe, you flirt!" Gilbert laughed along with her. "I'm only joking but apart from that, it really would be nice to spend some time with you."
Victoria sighed. "Speaking of time, I have to motor. I guess I'll have to spend more time with you another day. Good evening, Gilbert Blythe." Gilbert smiled as he saw the girl walk away from him and the house. "See you at school, Victoria Edwards."
The girl glanced at him from over her shoulder and with a final wave, she climbed back on Baelfire, leaving behind a very giddy Gilbert Blythe.

The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!
8 119Heavenly Rebirth - The Martial Hero's Journey
Martial Warriors battle it out in forests, destroying trees in single punches and kicks, uprooting them with ease. There is a world hidden underneath the mundane realm of mortals, one where martial prowess is everything, and living and dying by the edge of one's blade is natural. This world... is being threatened. Enter Kang Yilan, a seventeen-year-old convict sentenced to life, whiling away her days mining ores in the southern mountains when she happens upon a fateful encounter. Read as she embarks on a journey that will change her life, and the lives of millions of others, forever. NaNoWriMo challenge :D and [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Some magic elements are borrowed from Savage Divinity and a handful of other good wuxia/xianxia stories, but the story itself is pretty original if I do say so myself. If you feel bothered by my borrowing elements from other magic systems, a) I'm not making money off of this... yet, and b) almost all Xianxia copy each other. This one, at least, has direction where other xianxia don't.
8 237Cheating Side Kick
Noel was a normal ordinary modern-day man who died in a car crash. After his death, he got an offer which you could not say no: Get reincarnated with extra cheat-like ability tailored to his soul into a fantasy world. How big a surprise was, that his ability is to “dupe”? And even bigger surprise, he was not born into the MC, but into his fat and useless cousin? This story is about a journey in xantia-like world where also a kind-of system exists. Partly dramatic with some xantia troupe comedy. Its also about character development….and of course, there will be power level jumps. Let's follow Noel into his very honest try to climb at the top of the food chain, battle calamities, and conquer impossible dungeons. P.S: English is not my first language, I will be happy if you point out my mistakes, thank you. EDIT: Curently HItaus on Mount Forever. :/ . I m sorry.

8 105Edible One-Shots
These are just few straight one-shots and some random sexual poetry that I've created. They are original stories and poems. Please don't hate. I don't have to put them on here, it is a choice.
