Aphmau's P.O.V
"Its for you Aph!" my blue haired friend yelled after answering the door. I walk over to the door to see a seriously hurt red headed girl wearing a silver paper crown. "Shelby?" I say in a concerned voice whilst she smiles weakly at me. "You did it again didn't you?" Ross says rushing over to the door. She slightly nods. "YOU IDIOT I TOLD YOU NOT TO!" Max says running over to. "But you do it..." She says in a high pitched whisper. "But I don't almost kill myself when I do!" Max says in a hushed shout. "It's not as bad as last time, but you do need to rest," Sky says when he calmly walks over to the door with Barney. "But did you hurt them?" Barney asked.She nods again. "I was trying the neutral run," She says quietly. "Papyrus got you good," I say. "We have to go sorry to cut this short!" Sky says ushering everyone out. I wave at them as they leave. Then I felt the stares of my friends burn through me. I have a lot of explaining to do.
"I don't trust them Aph!" a clearly angry Aaron says to me. I shrug as I walk pass him. He then grabs my wrist and turns me around. "What was that Max guy talking about when he called her an idiot?" He asked. I could feel everyone's gaze fall on me. "She did something she shouldn't have." I say with another shrug, but I continue "And I trust all of them with my heart, soul and life, I could jump out of a plane and know one of them will catch me with their bear hands and leave me unharmed!" I say. Then I hear a light knock on the door, and I get it. "I couldn't leave you hear all by yourself to explain everything now could I?" A smirking Jin says. I smile invitingly as he walks in. "I realise that I did not introduce myself properly, My name is Jin and I am basically Aph's brother and I work with technology and stuff like that," He says to all my friends. "And my friend Shelby was wondering places no one should be and in a result she got hurt and that's why Max called her an idiot she was lucky this time she could have got killed," He says. "Hey Jin do you want to stay tonight we have a guest room upstairs!" I say quickly changing the touchy subject. He nods in delight and we walk upstairs.

Aaron's P.O.V
Aph and her 'brother' go upstairs to the spare room leaving us all downstairs highly confused. An awkward silence rang out between us when Garroth finally broke it. "Well would you look at the time I think we best be going!" he said. They all rushed outside leaving me alone. I go outside and climb the tree in our backyard giving me a perfect view of the guest room. They were sitting on the bed together and were talking. When Aph pulled out a lilac box from under the bed. I have never seen that in my life. She takes out a drawing that look like that it was drawn by a four year old that said 'I LOVE YOU' in sloppy writing. She then took out a photo of her with Jin and another pregnant girl. A little tear rolls down her cheek. Jin hugs her and kisses Aph on the forehead. He then gets up and walks over to the guitar and sits on a stool. Aph walks over to the keyboard and starts playing. I discreetly open the window so I could hear Aph sing for the first time.
(Play song)
Jin: Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Aph: Do you ever want to run away?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around

Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Jin: Do you want to be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more
Before your life is over
Aph: Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With the big fake smiles and stupid lies
But deep inside you're bleeding
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around
Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Aph: No one ever lied straight to your face
And no one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy
But I'm not gonna be okay
Jin:Everybody always gave you what you wanted
You never had to work it was always there
Both: You don't know what its like
What its like
Jin: No you don't know what its like
When nothing feels alright
Aph: You don't know what its like to be like me
Jin: To be hurt,
Aph: to feel lost
Jin: To be left out in the dark
Aph: To be kicked when you're down
Jin: To feel like you've been pushed around
Both: To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one there to save you
No you don't know what its like
What it's like
Both: To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what its like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
"That song is more true then you know," Jin says to Aphmau with sorrow. "Trust me, I do," She says walking over to the door. Jin lays down on the bed and says "Night Jess," "Night Jin Bop," she says and walks out. I scramble down the tree and swiftly sit down on the sofa. Who's Jess?

Living With Magic
Arthur, a young magician, is struggling with crippling social anxiety. The issue has reached a point where he likely won't graduate from University. Reaching a crossroads, he must decide whether to try and return to a family he despises or make his own path in the world. Is the magical power he has actually beneficial in the real world? Authors Note: I'm terrible at writing a synopsis, but over time I hope to write a better one. One of my favorite series of books is the Magicians by Lev Grossman and I hope to follow that same line of thinking within my story. How would a society built around magic actually exist and is power and magic actually as great as other stories make it out to be? The story and characters will be completely original and I will try to update the story on a regular basis. Also, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

El's Revenge
“Revenge is not for the dead- we, as the living, take revenge to relieve the burden we feel,” I whispered into the air. “Salvation for the people who suffered because of you,” I watched as the city burned in the flames. “Salvation for the people like me, who believed in the proclaimed heroes when in reality they were the devils.” I smiled faintly as the ‘holy land’ of those ‘saints’ was destroyed. I heard rustling sounds as Charlotte came to stand next to me, grabbing my hand. “El, are we the bad guys?” If I was still the same as I was before, I might’ve broken down and started crying. Now, it was different. “A villain is just another victim. They cry and mourn, it’s just that no one heard, leading them into madness. It’s one of the reasons why we know the most, but care the least.” I took a deep breath. “We may be the bad guys in other peoples’ eyes, but in my story, we’re the heroes.” Charlotte took in my words for a while and pondered, before nodding in agreement. “As children, we loved the heroes, as adults we understand the villains.” I looked at her and bonked her on the head, earning an angry glare from her. “Hey! You’re barely an adult yourself you know,” she grumbled. I laughed and ruffled her hair, before countering her. “At least I’m not 12. You can’t even be considered a teenager at that age.” After that, we silently watched the flames ravage the land, before leaving.
