《The Forgotten Four [Completed]》5

/N: Also
When I got home, I got to know that dad was out of town for a week. Also I got to know about it from mom, via a text message. Since I got home from school, I hadn't seen her. I got half worried half impatient, so I walked downstairs to find her.
"MOM?" I called her name out loud but I got no response.
"MOM?"
still no response. I decided to go out of the house and search. How stupid of me.. I should have just dialed her number but no.. the author of the story like me to get into extra activity.
So yeah.. I went out and looked at my right, at my left. Nothing to be seen. Then I heard some whispers from the back of my house. I slowly stepped towards the sound of whispers. And I saw mom. Not only her but also two other men. Tall and muscular, one of them had messy hairs and one of them had hairs patted back.
I blinked two more times to clear my vision as it was somewhat dark. I got furious with the seen in front of my eye.
"MOM!" I yelled her name angrily. Mummy's one hand was on the man's cheek. It was looking like a motherly touch.
She looked at me and so did the two guys.. my so called brothers. Robbie and Rayan.
"Beta," mom said
( A/n: beta = baby in hindi/Indian language)
I gripped her wrist and gave the twins an angry glare.They were looking at me with softness in their eyes. I hated it. Those fake emotions made me more mad at them. Why to fake it when you can just disappear from my life.
"What are you doing mummy? Lets go!" I said looking at her.

"Aan," Robbie called me by my nickname that he and Rayan used to call me when I was little. His voice had such softness that it almost made me believe them.
"Don't," I pointed a finger at him, "call me that." he looked hurt. He slow nodded.
Even though I'm scared of them, in moments like this I suddenly get the guts to fight back. Funny right? I took mom's hand and dragged her into the house. All of this was feeling so off. I felt like an intruder, a stranger and a bad person and I didn't even knew why.
We got into the house. Both of us sat on the couch. I was just sitting there staring at my Mom waiting for an explanation.
Mum was looking guilty, I didn't like to see her like that.
"Are you even going to start, Ma?" I asked her softly not wanting to hurt her.
She let out a trembled sigh. "They came to meet me," she said quietly.
"But why?" I asked.
"Because they miss me," she said. She was looking at me with some kind of hopeless. I wanted to make her understand that they weren't good.
Do they miss me too?
"Do you miss them?" I asked. Her opinion mattered too.
She looked at me with her glassy eyes. "Yeah," a quite voice came out.
I signed, "but they are bad people mom,"
For a second she seemed offended. Her eyebrows frowned together "They are my kids Aana, I've given birth to them. How can I not miss them?" She said.
"But-but what if they hurt you?" I asked. Because that is what dad had said to me. That they are bad people who will hurt you one day or another if you go close to them.
"Never, never in a million years will they hurt me, you or even your father," she almost yelled.
I was taken back.
"What are you saying ma?" I asked
"Nothing," she sighed heavily and got up getting into the kitchen. Leaving me thinking what she just said.
never in a million years will they hurt me, you or even your father.

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.

8 909The Waterborne - Blasphemous Series
Gamelit / LITRPG Elements are common in this novel. Some say a single action can't change anything. But what if you add another action? And another one? At one point, you would have to agree that a single action can change a person's life. When a young woman is plagued by a mental illness, only a benevolent god can give her a deal worth taking. Living again in another world where underwater monsters, rebellious factions and ancient artefacts are common place, we will have to see, just how much a single action can change things. Updated M - W - S (During the editing / rewriting process, updates are postponed.) This novel is a part of the Blasphemous Series, which can be read in any order, I recommend new readers start with this novel.
8 63Kobold in Exile
Accused of offending the dragons, branded a heretic and condemned by his people, Toktok is on the run from his homeland. Cut off from the support of his tribe, this kobold must rely on his own skills to survive in a foreign land where he is vermin. But he's no fish out of water, as he has patrolled the surface of his tribe's territory for years, hunting, scouting, and laying traps for enemies, and he holds a mystical connection to the land around him. He also has the company of a tamed land raptor that owes its loyalty to him, not to his tribe or to the dragons. However, with no other kobolds to watch his back and provide support in a fight, he will have to learn the hard way whether all of this will be enough to keep him alive in a land home to warriors and adventurers who would kill him just as soon as seeing him.
8 62The Mermaid's Shoal
Elfyn O Se has lived by the laws of the sea his whole life.

Yet, maybe he can pull them together for one last job that might ease the fury of the tyrannical mermaid he wronged so long ago. He might have a chance to break the binds for himself and his crew, if he can pull it off. There's just one problem; a rival mermaid called Anwen. As mysterious as she is terrifying - and adamant that Elf can't win - she offers an alternative to break the curse if the crew can help her get home. The crew of the Ossory now finds themselves caught in an odyssey brimming with magic and monsters. Battling against champions of terrible adversaries, mysterious lights from the deep, and kleptomatic selkies who deal in blood, Elf is faced with a choice. Will he risk the future of his world to save his crews' souls, or condemn them all to protect the archipelago from certain calamity?
