《Distraction》It wasn't me!

'I think she's waking up!' You hear Bucky's voice rumble out.
You feel the pounding in your head first as your eyes slowly blink open to the bright light from the contact with daylight surrounding your vision.
'Daisy!' You hear Steve quickly rush to your side.
'Take it easy. I got you. I got you sweetheart' You hear him soothe as you manage to sit upright. His one hand resting on your back and the other taking your hand. Crouched down next to you.
You look up at him and see nothing but fear in his now ghostly pale face.
'Sweetheart?' You croak out as a small smile appears from the cute pet name Steve just called you.
Steve can't help but let out a laugh in relief before kissing your forehead.
Steve stands up and offers his hand. Bucky offers one too. You take them both and the boys pull you up.
'Are you okay?' Officer Webber asks you cautiously.
'Y-yes, sorry, I just, I got a little overwhelmed by...'
'Overwhelmed? Daisy please, you were being dramatic' You hear her voice again. Patronising and bitter.
You close your eyes and take a breath before turning to face her.
'Look at you, you're a mess! There are these things called facials Daisy, I'm not sure if you've heard of them, their pretty new and trendy but by God you need one!'
You feel Steve's grip tighten on your hand for support. Bucky clenches his fists in anger.
You try your best to ignore the remark but you could see her, eyeing up every flaw, mark and blemish. As if you were nothing more than one massive mistake.
You look away and divert your attention back to officer Webber.
'So, what can we do now?' You ask worriedly.

'Well, first we need to find out who tampered with the house, the cleaning and such'
'Well I think it's pretty obvious, don't you? I couldn't have my daughter living in such conditions!'
'You....you cleaned the house?!' You scream. You were completely exhausted and frustrated and you couldn't hold it in any longer.
Your mother frowns 'You should be ashamed to speak to me with such tone. The house was filthy! I can't even begin to imagine the laziness of your father...'
'Will you shut up?!' You hear Bucky speak up. He couldn't hold his temper any longer.
'Excuse me?'
'First you insult Daisy and then her father?!' Bucky was livid
'He WAS useless!'
'He was all Daisy had! Where were you?!' Bucky seethes.
'Buck...' You whimper.
'He's right Daisy!' Steve sighs.
'And who exactly are you? Oh I remember! That scrawny poor kid that lived next door! Can you afford your own clothes now? How pathetic, you haven't changed, and neither have you Daisy. I thought you would have grown into a strong beautiful woman'
Steve's hand detached from yours and he steps forward. You behind him and your mother in front of him.
The silence and tension was deafening, until officer Webber speaks up.
'Ma'am...'
'It's April. You can call me April' You hear your mother sigh.
'Okay, Miss April'
'Mrs. I'm married. Actually, Mrs Underwood will suffice'
Married?! Your mother was married? You and your father were that meaningless that she just up and left to find another man? Did she have other children too? Was she actually around for them?! Your thoughts begin to swirl in your head. Bucky gives you a small nudge to gain your attention. You look up at him a N's he gives you a sad smile. As if he's saying she isn't worth it. Which, she isn't.

'Mrs Underwood' Officer Webber sighs.
'What did you mean by 'he was' When addressing Daisy's father?'
'Pardon?' You hear your mother ask. A small slip in her voice this time. As if she's been taken off guard.
'You said 'he was useless' Referring to past tense'
'Well, yes, I just mean, from back in the day when I knew him...he was...'
'Mrs Underwood I'm going to need you to come with me'
'What? No'
'Are you resisting?' Officer Webber asks more firmly this time.
'Officer I don't understand...'
'Dads dead' You finally speak out.
'And you think I'm responsible?! He was an alcoholic! He probably drank himself to death! Quite fitting really'
'From this moment on, anything you do say form this moment will be used against you in a court of law'
Officer Webber walks over to your mother and handcuffs her.
'This is outrageous! I demand a lawyer!' You hear her shout before wriggling and wincing at the cuffs against her wrists.
'We'll be in touch' Officer Webber sighs before leading your mother out.
You, Steve and Bucky also leave the house and follow them out.
'Daisy! It wasn't me! I didn't know...I was just trying to be your mother! I was just....'
'I needed a mother when I was growing up. I'm grown now' You cry out as the tears fall.
'Come on...' Steve takes your hand and intertwines your fingers.
'You don't need to see this' Bucky acknowledges as you all walk towards Steve's house.

Seeker Of The Ether
Synopsis in WIP (same for Tags). In this world there are people able to wield amazing power, they are called Arcanist. The path to becoming one is not an easy one and there is always a new step to reach. Our story starts in one of the Tower where Aspirants try to become Arcanists. It's the story of Nikolaï, his struggles, his hopes, his journey ... in a word his life. A small WARNING from Ben: English is not my native language. I'm pretty confident in my ability to read it and understand it but there is a big gap between that and being able to properly write.My grammar being already "not so great" in my own language it makes sense to not expect a flawless one in another one. I'm getting better at it and invite readers to suggest any changes on the matter but if it's a deal-breaker for you you should pass or come back at a later date.Possibly in the future, I will look for someone to help me but if you read those world it's not the case yet.

Tironia
Reincarnated on the world of Tironia, I find myself naked and alone. Apart from the fact that I've been linked with a less than helpful companion, through my own doing no less. All I want is a kick-ass name and some super-sweet magic. "Is that too much to ask for?" Apparently so. All I got, was a schizophrenic sidekick and a set of bad jokes. "Is it time to start shitting my pants yet?" Note: If you enjoy my first novel, please leave a rating or a comment. Constructive criticism is also appreciated. As of now Tironia is complete. I need to edit the chapters however as there are many, many mistakes. Once that's complete, I will begin work on Erins next adventure: Dungeon Igo. Current Chapter Rewritten: 1

Stella's Feathers
A beautiful soul was born on Earth The Goddess of Fortune decided to bless this soul to a life of fortune But the Goddess of Beauty became jealous and turned fortune to misfortune And so is the life of this soul lives, until at 16 where she dies to save a kind child from her cursed misfortune Watch her grow as she learns to deal with her new surroundings, new friends, and the authors best attempt at a heartwarming story ------------------------------------------- nice to meet you, please call me Star, this is my first novel and I will no doubt make lots of mistakes so please feel free to comment on anything you feel like might help the story. while constructive criticism is helpful I will just ignore trolls or laugh at them so feel free to do the same. I am terrible at spelling and I'm not doing this for profit but as a way to relax so no paid editors. I will warn you that if this book gets impossible for me to write I might just end it, but I will write an end even if it's ended abruptly I hope it won't get that bad though. well hopefully that won't happen, by the way, the ending will be the same it's just the difference of whether or not there are loose ends. this is mainly an adventure/fantasy, the romance will likely be cringe-worthy with just how slow it will be, either I won't know how to advance or won't want to due to the circumstances I make, on purpose or accidentally. if you have suggestions for story progression feel free to help, I will, of course, give you props if I use them. Have Fun ----------- on hiatus for very personal reasons and will get back when i can. ----------- so, im rewriting the story. after i rewrite the existing chapters i will replace the existing ones. to those who have enjoyed the story so far thank you for giving me your time and i hope you find the new version even better. it will take time to rewrite the existing chapters but i hope to see you again soon. the story will change quite a bit so im sorry to those who wanted to see what happened next in the original. i hope to see you soon!
