《The Rejected Royal》Testing
Advertisement
I wake up to the sound of my annoying alarm clock. Why do I have to wake up this early, anyway? Oh right...I have testing today.....Ugh! Just another at school. Calm down, Emily.
I bet I can pass Werewolf History. ;-) Most of it is about my supposed grandmother. Even though no one other than my "guards", and Jessica, Brian, and Logan know that. Speaking of Logan, he joined my school so he could have more opportunities to try and learn my trust.
*knock knock knock*
"Wake up, sleepyhead. If you're already awake....CLICK THAT STUPID SNOOZE BUTTON ON THAT STUPID ALARM CLOCK!" The person who knocked on my door says. That is definitely Logan.
"Be quiet, Logan. What if she's still asleep." Another voice says. That has to be Jessica.
"In that case. WAKE UP, SLEEPYHEAD! YOU HAVE TESTING AT SCHOOL! Of course, I do too, but still...." Logan says loudly, which really hurt because of my werewolf hearing.
"I've been awake. I've just been contemplating life." I mumble loudly enough to enough for everyone in my room to hear. Not opening my eyes I stick my left arm towards my right side of the bed to help me get up. I bend my right elbow and lift myself up, still afraid that if I open my eyes I'll find a bunch of random faces staring at me.
Once my feet have collided with my cold floor I open my eyes to see a grinning Logan.
"Morning, Princess." He says.
"Morning..." I mumble while rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
"What would you like for breakfast ma darling?" He says with a really bad french accent.
"Umm...How about...Pancakes with strawberries and whip-cream. Um.. and I'll just have normal water. Thank you." I say a bit groggily at the beginning, but as I get towards the end I get louder and more awake.
"Ok, princess. I will be right back with your breakfast." He says while walking away. I turn around with a smile on my face, to be met with 6 familiar faces.
"Good Morning, princess?" Jessica mocks.
"Its one of the nicknames he gave me." I defend myself.
"What are the other nicknames?" Chase asks.
"Hmm...Lemme think..." I take a short pause before continuing, "There's Bugs Bunny, however he calls me Lola Bunny more since she's a girl. Then there's Em, aaannnddd Emi. Oh, and sometimes he calls me Rage Queen. That's about it." I say slowly, sometimes taking breaks to think.

"Ooook, Lola." Jessica says jokingly.
"Haha. Very funny." I say sarcastically.
"Coming through. Make way. Coming through." I hear someone say from behind everyone. I also smell a very sweet smell getting closer. I know what you're thinking, and no it isn't my ma-I mean Logan's scent. It smells like food, or to be more specific..Pancakes.
"Close your mouth, you're gonna catch flies." Logan says while closing my mouth gently with his hand.
"Sorry..Now is that mine?" I ask eagerly, while staring at the newly cooked pancakes with poofy whip-cream on top, and on top of the whip-cream there were freshly cut strawberries.
"Yes, ma'am! Now, may I suggest that you eat as quickly as you can, and then get ready for school. It's already 6:45 and we need to get to school before 7:30." Logan says while handing me my yummy food. I lick my lips hungrily and take a HUGE bite of my pancake.
"Well, enjoy your breakfast. We're going to get ready for school as well." Sydney says while pulling Chase with her as she walks out of my room.
"Yeah, we're gonna go to. See yah!" Nicole says while dragging Alicia, or Alice as she told me to call her, with her.
"Well, see yah later, Em. Come on Brian." Jessica grabs his arm and walks out of my room.
"Get ready once you finish your-woah! You only have one small strawberry left! How did you eat that fast?!" Logan asks me, shocked.
"I don't know, this only happens when I'm starving or it's my favorite food." I explain. He blinks a couple of times before continuing, "As I was saying, try to get ready quickly. You have a long day ahead of you." He says with a small smirk. I look at him weirdly, but nod and say, "Oook."
With a small sigh I put my empty plate with my silverware on my night stand. I grab my water bottle, open it wit a bit of difficulty and take a huge gulp of water to quench my thirst. Time to pick my outfit...
After a couple of minutes of throwing unwanted clothes around, I finally decide on an outfit. An oversized green sweater with a picture of Mike Wazowski and a pair jean shorts. I walk towards my connected bathroom with my clothes in hand as well as a towel. I enter the bathroom and put my clothes on a wooden stool next to my sink.

Once I finish taking a shower I brush my teeth and change. I exit the bathroom, holding my dirty clothes and with my hair in a towel and walk towards my clear hamper. Once I get there I throw my dirty clothes there and start humming the tune to Let Her Go by Passengers, while running downstairs.
"You ready for testing, Emily?" A voice asks from behind me.
"Not really...I've never been good with tests. Honestly I haven't even studied...."I mutter as I turn around to face Logan.
"Really? How do you pass, then?" He questions me, surprised and confused.
"I don't know....I just do...Well, not all of the tests. Just a few subjects....Like....Math...Even though I hate I surprisingly get GREAT grades there...And I'm horrible at Human History, and Shifters history. However, Werewolf History is one of my best classes. But I don't have a lot of good classes.." I admit.
"Slow down, and it's ok. I'm only good at Science and History. And by History I mean all of the History classes."
"Woah I feel sooo much better." I say sarcastically.
"Sorry." He apologizes.
"Common we need to go to school. Get ready to run." Alice says as she gets her keys.
"I'm using my skateboard if that's ok with you." I tell them.
"Yeah that's fine, your highness." Sydney says.
"Sydney, how many times do I have to tell you? You don't have to call me your highness, or anything like that." I smile at her.
"Ok, Emily." Sydney returns my smile.
"Everyone stop talking and get ready to run. OUTSIDE!" Alice repeats.
"Yes mother." Logan and I both say in unison.
"Haha. Just gooooo!!"
We all exit the house, quickly. However I go slower because I have to get my lime green skateboard from the garage.
Once I'm outside I jump, quickly put my skateboard underneath me and ride away as fast as I can.
"Emily! Wait up!" Someone yells from behind me. I slowly slow down (hehe), to see Logan catch up with me.
"So you're going to run, huh?" I start speeding up.
"Yeah, and I'm going to beat you." He brags.
"I don't think so, sir Muscular." I say even though I know it's not true.
"Sir Muscular?" Is that all he got out of that sentence?
"Yes, but that's beyond the point. You aren't going to beat me. In fact I'm going to be there in around 10 seconds." I count to ten and say, "What did I say. I'm here, and I beat you."
"Ok, ok. You won this time." He rolls his eyes, playfully.
Alice catches up to us quickly and screams once she checks the time.
"We're late, guys!! This is what I get for not pushing all of you guys out!" She says with a pout.
Once everyone catches up to us she yells, "Run inside people. It's an ENTIRE day of testing." We all turn to look at her and see that she's serious.
"WHAT?!" We all yell in unison.
"Exactly so if you don't want to stay here later today I suggest you all run inside." She says in a 'matter a fact' tone.
Everyone ran inside and didn't even bother to go to their lockers. First class....HUMAN HISTORY!! I think....
We all ran there to see that they were already taking the tests. We all smiled nervously and awkwardly sat down in the very back of the room. The whole school was here, so it was pretty crowded. However there aren't that many shifters that go to this school.
Whew, that took a REALLY long time. I'm just glad it's over. I just want to go home and sleep until tomorrow. It's the last day of school tomorrow, I don't have to go. ;-)
"Let's go home. Can I ride on one of y'all's backs. Like a piggy back ride. I'm too tired to ride my skateboard again. Jessica you can ride my skateboard if you'd like." I mumble.
The first thing I heard was a 'Yay' from Jessica, and then I heard someone say 'You can ride on my back'. I slowly walked towards the voice and hopped on, I think, his back.
"Who's back am I riding?" I ask with my eyes closed.
"Mine." The voice says.
"Yeah but who's is it." I ask again.
"Oh! Logan's." The voice says again.
"Oh, okay. Thanks Logan."
"No problem, Lola Bunny." He says. I can almost hear the smirk in his voice. I feel myself moving gently. As soon as I get comfortable I black out.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest
Oh great hero! The evil Demon Lord has once again arisen to terrorise our lands, and we have summoned you to save our people! No, we don't want you to fight the demon lord! Of course not; we're the good guys! What sort of good guys kidnap people from other worlds and force them to take part in wars that have nothing to do with them? That would just be plain evil! We'd be no better than the demons! Katie, after her summoning by an excessively loud mage suddenly takes an unexpected twist, is sent off on a simple fetch quest, with a promise that she'll be back home in five minutes at most. She doesn't even need to leave the building. Alas, when a goddess' blessing causes her wish for an actual adventure to be taken rather more literally than she expected, she finds herself lost in a dark cave, far away from the sword she was supposed to acquire and far too close to a population of giant bugs. Still, at least she wished her life wasn't in any danger. Among other things. Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it. This is a dark litRPG adventure, both in terms of Katie accidentally wishing all the lights out, and also in that she loses as often as she wins, often with horrific and disturbing consequences. Luckily, Katie isn’t the sort of person to let a mere grizzly death or two get her down, and is prepared to try, try and try again to get her hands on the holy sword and finally complete her ‘simple’ fetch quest. Or perhaps—with a few resistance skills under her nightie—she might even come to enjoy losing. Not that she’d ever consider forgoing revenge, even if she did. I’ve ticked all the content warning checkboxes for this one. There’s no explicit sexual content, but there are enough references to justify the warning. Profanity happens rarely, but Katie isn’t averse to swearing when she gets particularly angry. As for gore/trauma, it doesn’t get much worse than the first few chapters, but there will be occasional chapters that have extra content warnings.

"It's just my family I guess." Tommy mumbled upset."What's wrong with your family?" Mr Awe asked, feeling confused. "I don't think it's what's wrong with them, I'm beginning to think it's what's wrong with me." Tommy answered, not looking up to meet his teacher's eyes. "What do you mean by that, Tommy?" The older asked, spinning around in his chair to show Tommy that he had his full attention and would be listened to. "It's just- like- I show them how well I'm doing in school and they don't even care! Like aren't parents meant to be proud of their children or something?

He had waited his whole life to get this off his chest and he had finally found a willing listener. OR, Tommy Craft is a neglected eleven year old who just wants somebody to listen to him.
