Aydens p.o.v.
I came back home at midnight from a run.
"where were you??" my Titi Leyla said scaring the crap out of me.
"just went for a run" I said.
"just a run" she said coming up to me she pushed my hoodie back and saw the bruise I had in my cheek and cut I had on my bottom lip.
"its just a bruise" I said but she didnt buy it.
"baby you gotta stop fighting on the streets" she said with her big blue puppy eyes watery.
"well how are we gonna afford the house and the Pet shop" I said and saw a tear escape her eye.
"here I made two hundred dollars,good night" I said putting the money on the table.
"good night" she said and I bend down so she can kiss my forehead and went up to bed.
I threw myself on the bed.
--------------------------
The next morning I woke up to some loud music playing from downstairs.
So I got up threw on some jeans and a v neck shirt and went downstairs to my aunt and my mom cleaning.
"well look whos up" Titi leyla said and my mom turned to look at me. I saw bags under her eyes so I went up to her and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
"guess what you missed yesterday" she said like a teenager.
"what??" I said.
"another food fight and some great news" she said.
"cool and the news from yesterday are..." I said with a news reporter voice.
"im pregnant" she said and my jaw dropped. My 45 year old mom is carrying a baby.
"say something" she said pushing me out of my thoughts.
"thats great" I said then took out an oreo pack from the cabinet and took four out.

"hey those are my oreos" Titi leyla said and I smiled at her innocently. I grabbed the whole pack and was gonna run off with it but Ashley came in and jump on me so I landed on the floor.
"My oreos" she said grabbing the pack and grabbed the oreos I had and put them away. She got a bowl of cocoa puffs out so I put my puppy face on.
"no" she said and took a bite out of her cereal.
"just one spoon" I said and she put her cereal bowl out for me. I grabbed it and started eating it so she started smacking me. i gave it back to her and she gave me one of her famous death glares. I went upstairs to find my 17 yr old sister in my room.
"what do you want Arianna??" I said.
"can we play basketball outside" she said and I nodded.
Later on after the game I carryed my sister like a little pwincess to her room because she won the game and we made a bet.
"everybody in the living room" my aunt said like a sargeant at military base boot camp so I ran out the room.
"yes, Sir" I said and saluted her. ten minutes later everyone was in the living room.
"you guys all know that we are on the line of losing the house and the Pet shop" she said.
"yes Sir" I said while the rest just nodded.
"we need to come up with a plan to make money" she said.
"we can dance for money" Ashley said and we all nodded. We are all good in dancing.
"anything else" she said looking at me but I just shrugged.
"okay dancing it is, practice room at 12 noon" she said so we all got up and started our day.

The Merchant Prince Book 1: Returning Home
Enter a world of deceit and assassins. Augustus DeCastellian is a member of a wealthy merchant family, with ports all over the known world. He is sent on a voyage to new lands to open trade routes, but when he returns he will need to fight, using his tools of manipulation and cunning, for what he is owed.Author's note: This story is somewhat slow-paced, especially in comparison to the norm on Royal Road. The first three chapters act almost as a prologue, to give you a feel for what the rest of the story will be like. So, I suggest new readers try to get to the end of chapter 3 before deciding if this story is for them.A few of my reviews have said that this story is abnormal for Royal Road. I agree with that sentiment, at least based on what I've read on the site. It was just an idea that was in my head, that I began trying to write once my hobbies were cancelled due to the virus. I found Royal Road after I started writing it. Honestly, it's probably not even tailored for the web-novel format. But it's the story I wanted to tell. Discord: https://discord.gg/sk63gep

The Twelve
In a world marred by the supernatural, Japan suffers from its own fair share of evil and demonic disasters, with generations of shamans known as Onmyoji protecting their homeland from these forces of evil. Capable of wielding magic and using spirits of their own, these shamans were not only skilled in battle, but also divination. However, they were unable to correctly predict Japan's loss in World War Two, and suffered the punishments that followed. Persecuted and torn apart by infighting, the Onmyoji reunited under the banner of the Tsuchimikado clan, descendants of Abe no Seimei, one of the greatest Onmyoji to ever live. The Onmyoji began to rebuild and to regrow. Ren is the sole heir to the Tsuchimikado family, but has been unable to practice Onmyodo ever since his birth, even though he possesses the greatest ability in the family. But when disaster befalls his family, Ren has nobody to turn to, and no idea how to use his powers. As he journeys to escape the same fate his family faced and attempts to learn how to use his powers, there is only one question on his mind; as the Tsuchimikado heir, how can he save the Onmyoji... from themselves? ---------------------------------------------- note from author: I'm writing this based loosely on the very real theories of Onmyodo, and so my writing may not be a truthful or accurate depiction of Onmyodo or other related areas, such as religion, for instance. That is why, while depicted in the real world, events that happen may seem unrealistic and it may be easier to imagine it as a parallel universe that is the same as ours, but with slight differences so that my possible errors will be easier to overlook. Sorry, and thanks!
