《Adopted By Thomas Sanders and The Sanders Sides (UNDER EDITING!)》Chemotherapy (Deceit's POV)
Advertisement
*A week later*
Surprise. It's me, Damien.
But you know me as Deceit.
I'd love to say that Aricka was doing fine and that she healed quickly and came home as though nothing was wrong. But, even as Deceit, I can't do that. Because Aricka is like my sister, and I can't lie about her.
The chemo made her sicker than most, and if she wasn't hovering over a toilet, she was sleeping the drugs off. This had the worst effect on Thomas, Roman, and Patton. Patton and Roman seemed to never leave her side, while Thomas was almost afraid to go near her, for fear of hurting her. Logan, armed with his knowledge of cancer, could talk to the doctors, and then tell us what was going on. Virgil hid in the corner of her room, keeping vigil over her.
And me?
I made sure the others ate, went home to shower, and basically became the "mom" to them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I walk in, and Aricka's sitting up. She's smiling. "Dece!" (Day-C.) she says, and waves. "I feel better. Where's everyone else?"
"Logan, Roman, and Patton are eating in the cafeteria, and Thomas had a video to record," I reply.
"Where's Virgil?" she asks. Virgil looks up from his phone and smiles at her.
"I'm over here," he says. She looks over and holds her arms out. "If you ever pull something like this again I'll slap you," he jokes and hugs her. She hugs him back.
"I'll try not to; no promises though."

*Aricka*
It's been a few weeks, and I'm back at school. My friends still don't know about my leukemia, but I was going to tell them today. I would tell Jack after school; since I didn't see him at all today. "Hey guys," I start, sitting in front of them. Mark, Dodie, Ethan, Troye, Dan, and Phil were sitting beside/around me. "I know I've been gone a while, and I need to tell you something-I have cancer. Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia." I reach up and take off the beanie that'd been on my head. "The chemo causes me to lose my hair."

"What does that mean?" Dan asks.
"I'll have to go to the hospital every now and then and receive treatment. I'll bruise easier, and I might throw up sometimes. But I'm still me." I reply.
"Have you told Sean yet?" Dodie asks. I shake my head no.
"I'm telling him after school."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*After school*
I had my beanie back on, and Jack walked me home. "I see we're alone-any reason for that?" he asks. I nod.
"Jack-I have cancer. ALL." he stops and grabs my hand.
"Are you going to-?"
"Die? No, at least, I hope not. The chemo is going to try and help put me in remission." He just stands there for a few minutes. "Jack-babe?"
He finally looks at me. "When's your next appointment?"
"March 4, why?"
"I'm going with you. You're my girlfriend, I'm with you 100%."

Clarent Saga: Chronicles
Based on my work on Saga of the Jewels, I've been hired by an indie game developer to write the novel for their 'novel + turn-based battles' game which is in Early Access on Steam. Of course, a 'novel + turn based battles' is a terrible idea for a game, which is why no other games like this exist, but hey, the developer is paying me. And if something's worth doing at all, it's worth doing as well as possible, so I am going to give this project my very best shot and try to make it as good as it can be. So if you read this, please give me feedback on the story to help me make it as good as it can be! Please note, for this story I have been given a pre-existent set of characters, character back-story sketches and a rough plot to work with. I also have to insert random battles into the narrative, have set characters appear in a certain order, and have the party fight fixed bosses in a certain order, all at fixed points! Please also note that this is a first draft. I will be editing and re-working this in the future and re-posting it. But I need helpful feedback, if anyone can give it. You can also find the game version of this on Steam by searching there for 'Clarent Saga: Chronicles'.
