a 8th grade girl goes through life only to be heart broken from people that used her feelings and took advantage of her kindness and sweet heart turning her into a Pearson that is ready to fight and not easily trusting

Man, I just wanted to have a good 8th grade to wrap up middle school.

Classroom Chaos: So in 8th grade I used to read during class a lot. At the time I was reading an Artemis Fowl book, and for some reason I had two copies of the same book. So one day in my English class we were reading this other book (which I had already finished reading three days earlier), I was reading my own book and when it was finally my turn to read, I had no idea where we were. So the teacher took my book away, I found my spot, read the part and passed it to the next person to start reading.

So after I read my part, I took out my second copy of Artemis and picked up right where I left off. Skip a few minutes ahead, gets back to my turn to read, and again I don't know where we are. So teacher takes a look at me, sees the book in my hands, then back to her desk obviously confused for a second. But shrugs it off knowing it's me she's dealing with (I've caused similar problems like this before), takes my second book and puts it on her desk, and makes me read my part.

Now my friend that sat two chairs down from me was also reading Artemis at the same time as me and with a quick look to him he knew exactly what I was planning. He took it out and passed it over without hesitation. I opened to a random spot and just pretended like I was reading. (At this point it was just to mess with my teacher.)

So skip forward again and my teacher sees me with the book again and says, "How many of those do you have?" I gave my smartass remark as "enough." She took away that book, too. But now at this point I was out of books, and the rest of my class knew it. But the teacher didn't know I was out. So she continued with her lesson and another friend of mine took two of her books and switched out two of the Artemis books on her desk to make them look like they were still there.

He passed the books slowly around the room, one at a time, until they were back to me. Then I took one out, opened to a random spot and just kept it open, waiting to get caught. I silently signaled to a few people in class and they started laughing. The teacher looked at what they were laughing at and saw me with yet another book. She looked at her desk where there were seemingly 3 Artemis books and saw me with a 4th. She took it, walked back to her desk, put it down, turned around, and saw me with the second book that got taken back on my desk!!!

The teacher thought she was going to win this game but underestimated my teamwork with my classmates. So the second she came over to me to take the seemingly 5th book, another classmate took back the other two books from her desk and split them up—sending one to me one way, and the other another way.

The teacher was very flustered and laughing hysterically at this point and there was no more teaching going on. The entire class was also going ballistic trying to see who would win. It was just a game of "How many books does this one 8th grader have?"

So at the end of the class she thought she had taken 11 books from me. I took pity on her and told her what was really happening. I told her that I had already read the first book, and all the teamwork that went on. We were both laughing and making jokes. In the end she agreed to let me read my own books as long as I kept track of the actual book we were reading. (Meaning, I ask the person next to me tell me when it's my turn and they point out my spot to read so I don't actually have to keep track.)

it was my first dad living with my dad. all my stuff was in boxes. when i got up i went down stairs to get some coffee and i find a note from my dad on the fridge.
''hey taylor, i'm going to be home a little later tonight so just get your stuff put away and while i'm gone i'll let you use the car. love you, dad''
my mom thought it was a good idea to let me get my licensee before i moved. i made some coffee and sat at the table. i pulled my phone out and checked my Instagram. ash and a few of my friends were at the skate park today. Hayden tagged me in a post.
the caption said "it's said that  that_one_human can't be with us, she will be missed''. i saw ash in the picture and i started to tear up. i put my mug in the sink and ran up stairs to put my things away. the last box i was filled with pictures,books,notebooks,and other things. since my dad knows i'm obsessed with reading he got me little shelves that hung from the wall.
i put my books on the shelves in alphabetical order. after that was done i hung up my led lights and my pride flags near my bed. i came out to my dad in 8th grade. when i came out to my dad he didn't really care. my mom told me that no girls are allowed to spend the night, my dad is okay with it.
  after i put my pride flag up and my stuff away, i put on a pair of ripped jeans, a denim jacket over a hoodie and a beanie. my mom took me shopping when i came out to her.

16 year old taylor goes to live with her dad leaving her childhood friend ash behind. she ends up falling in love with a complete stranger.

[Chapter 2]
{0800 hrs.}
A tall, rounded structure of 100sq. feet in diameter with more than 30 floors, practically an eye-catching landmark in this open meadow. Somewhere on the 25th floor, Morgan walked out of the office into the open hallway to see Videl sleeping on the waiting bench on the corridor.
[Poor girl.]
------
{0700 hrs.} (kinda like a flashback)
The officials discussed the results of the analysis performed on Videl earlier in the day. Since they couldn't find any reason for her to be targeted in her family background, they could only search her body in case they missed something.
"This person you just brought in is indeed a strange case. From the tests we conducted, we have concluded that she's a death scythe. But there are multiple abnormal things at play here"
"From what we know, there should be only seven. If we include her that makes 8. Even if we ignore this rule, death scythes cannot and would not move without their life counterparts. 
Also, she should be releasing such massive amounts of death energy as the '8th death scythe' according to the 7-fold increment with each successive death scythe", an official sitting at the conference table said.
"There's another possibility that she may be the legendary Angel of Death and Destruction", another official added his speculation.
"Highly unlikely. Such a legendary character could cause the world to end with a single thought. 'She' doesn't exactly look like an almighty being", commented another official.
The more Morgana listened to the reports from the analysis performed on Videl, the more confused she became.
"What we can concur is that the abyssal creatures probably wanted to capture her and use her power to their gain as death scythes are the only truly neutral beings in existence upon birth"
"They probably want to use her against humanity hence we cannot let her fall into their hands. Until we can find a solution to this problem, or she has the strength to protect herself, we cannot let her out of our sight."
------
{0803 hrs.} (back to normal time)
[How can there possibly be eight death scythes and one without a life counterpart to boot!! Could she be the legendary Angel of Death and Destruction?!]
"Videl wake up. I'm about done here. Let's get moving"
"Umm… *yawn* …what time is it? Is it breakfast yet Mr. Renee? You wouldn't believe what a night I had Mr. Renee, I had the strangest dream and there was this woman and-d…", Videl woke up with a yawn wiping her eyes but stuttered halfway through her speech when she saw exactly the person she was just talking about.
"What are you blabbering on about? Anyways, follow me. Let's go get something to eat first. We'll talk over breakfast. This way."
----------------------------------------
An open-air café on the ground floor (first floor) of the office building provided necessities for the workers and visitors in the building. From breakfast all to way to dinner. It was spacious enough to provide for a hundred people at a time.
"How's the food? Heavenly right? That's because they were made using ingredients rich in essence energy"
"The food is fantastic. Best I've ever tasted. But… what's is essence energy? Is it like video game mana or that chi or qi thing?"
"Essence energy is a higher form of energy that goes against the normal order of the world. Mana and qi are more of different states of essence energy, like water and ice or lighting and fire.
Originally, it was impossible to even access this type of energy but due to the circumstances of the world and the previous war, the world opened up to us.
Knowledge that we could only speculate about was practically given to us on a silver platter afterward but not to the whole world though. From a certain perspective, the world improved. But there is a downside. With great power comes great responsibility.
The unlimited access to essence energy also opened the world to the dangers that were hidden from the world by the Supreme Being, the strongest being in existence. Well, he 'was'. As for who 'we' are, you could think of us as soldiers, front liners. 
Who or what we fight? That's a bit too much to tell you now but there's a library on the 10th floor containing everything you need to clear your confusion. You should have nearly unrestricted access to the basic aspects of the library so the basics should be available to you. Als…"
*woooooossssh*
Mid-way through the speech, Morgana disappeared in a flash right in front of the dumbfounded Videl, seconds after her mind was blown away by Morgana's explanation.
*boooommmmm*
A loud explosion sounded off just inches behind her and the back of a familiar figure came into view. This figure was none other than Morgana. Currently, Videl felt like she was watching a showdown between superman and wonder woman.
A stranger had seemingly appeared out of nowhere and attacked at open-air café. Morgana clashed with a blurry image over and over again. They moved so fast they practically clashed 100 times a minute whipping up a hurricane.
"Hahaha. You're getting slow enchantress. And still a fun sucker", a thundering chortle boomed with the end of the fantasy-like battle as the figure of the attacker came into view. 
A huge body of about 3 meters, a massive and strong build and a strangely handsome face (cause she thinks giants should be ugly or not-so-handsome). Looking around, Videl noticed that barely anyone around reacted as if used to such spectacle.
"I'm not slow, I was taking it easy on you. Why do you insist on scaring the newbies in this way Brandon?", the disgruntled voice of Morgana came in right after as she also reappeared where she sat previously without even a hair out of place.
"It is tradition enchantress. If I don't do it, the others will. Who knows, they may be setting up a trap as we speak", whilst speaking, the 'giant' walked closer, shrinking with every step and an evil smirk on his devilishly handsome face. Videl unconsciously blushed looking at the shrunken giant of about 180cm. 
Morgana sighed in exasperation as she introduced Videl, "What tradition? Stop making things up. This is Videl, the new death scythe. Videl, Brandon, Brandon, Videl".
"Pleasure to meet you, sir. Brandon", befitting her mature status of mind, Videl brought her embarrassment under control and answered as normal as possible.
"Sir.? I'm not that old miss Videl, I'm only about 3-5 years older than you are. And enchantress what do you mean by a death scythe, I thought there could only be 7 of them"
"What's a death scythe, Morgana?", Videl asked almost immediately as Brandon.
"A death scythe is what we call an agent of 'darkness' and not darkness as in evil but the only existing entity before the beginning of time itself. Said to exist at the same time as the Supreme Being. The Darkness that existed with the Light before time itself.
From what we know, there can only be 7 death scythes serving the death angel existing in one instance of time. We think you're the 8th and your existence goes against the norm we know of. It even stumped the superiors upon reading the reports of the analysis of her body.
Brandon, do me a favor and take Videl to the library to expand her horizons. Show her around and get her up to speed. I still have to report the situation in city X to have a neutralization squad dispatched. I'll see you later Videl". Morgana answered both questions simultaneously and vanished again directly from the café after leaving instructions.
"This lady is very careless. *sigh* Alright miss Videl this way to the library", Brandon gave a rueful smile and led the way upstairs to the library. For as long as he'd known Morgana, she was what you could call a lazy bone.
"Please, call me Videl Mr. Brandon".
"Sure, if you'll call me Brandon…just Brandon".
************************
{2000 hrs.}
[12 hours reading in the library? Damn, does she want to swallow the level 0 library?]
For 12 hours the desk in front of Videl had been stacked with a lot of books ranging from history to current affairs then magic. She read nearly every book a level 0 access pass would allow. 
The library granted 10 different access levels including level 0 which was the lowest level pass given to 'newbies' and visitors with no real power in the tower. Brandon felt a headache coming.
From what she had read so far, Videl could understand the general situation. There were to major head towers, Defenders and Hunters. She was currently in the Hunters' tower. The 'soldiers' Morgana was referring to were Hunters and Defenders. They were always in constant war with the 'enemies of humanity'.
The so-called 'enemies of humanity' were different existing races. They were the Devils, Undead or Abyssal creatures, Titans, Vampires, Trolls, Ogres, goblins and many more.
It was a millennia-old war that went as far back as 'The Fall'. It only got worse about 5000 years ago when man pushed a child to the edge.
The story around this child wasn't particularly clear but what could be gleaned from the little known was that he unintentionally opened up the avenue for essence energy.
'The Fall' happened before the beginning of life on earth when the Archangel Lucifer rebelled and was cast out of the heavenly realm. 
14 realms exist out of which 13 were created by the Supreme Being. Realms 1 and 2 were known as the heavenly realms, 3 to 10 as the racial realms and 11 to 13 as the Abyssal realms commonly known as the 3 layers of hell.
The realm on which earth existed was called the planetary realm and was the 9th realm. As for the number of races in existence, well they were categorized instead of counted as there were simply too many. 3 categories existed, intellectuals, beasts, and enemy-of-races.
The intellectual races were those races that had intelligence as humans, the beasts were those that relied purely on instincts (kinda like animals) and the enemy-of-races were, of course, those acknowledged as the enemy of races.
That was the summary of history, general knowledge, and current affairs. There weren't many current affairs though. There were also multiple books about multiple races and beasts of a wide variety.
Fortunately, Videl had an abnormal photographic memory hence after reading nearly 70 books in a little over 12 hours, she stored about 90% of every book to memory not to mention unbelievable reading speed.
Videl had read nearly everything available to her in the library. One more trip and she felt she could have every book accessible stored to memory, not to brag but, she was that smart.
There weren't that many, to begin with as a level 0 access pass had few topics to delve into anyways.
"Ugh…My eyes are irritable now. It's been a long time since I read so many books in one sitting. How long have I been here anyway…uh oh, there's a clock over there?
Hmmm, 12 hours, a little lesser than I expected but not too shabby. I should go get dinner"
[Hmm where's senior Brandon]
"Oh, Videl you finished for the day? Let's go get dinner and talk things through. I'll explain everything that confuses you there", Brandon spotted Videl walking out of the library and figured she was about done with reading for the day or maybe just hungry (praying for the former).
Videl walked out into Brandon waiting for her right outside the library, "Please lead the way seni… I mean Brandon. I'm sorry, I can't get quite used to just calling you by your first name".
[Whatever]
"You'll get used to it soon. Shall we?"
---------------------------------
{2030 hrs.}
"…so that about sums it up. Enchantress, or Morgana if you will, says she can't make it today. You'll be in my care until tomorrow. I'll get you a place to stay for the night or you could stay with me, kidding.
As for the matter of your cultivation, I'll help you on your starting point but the rest will be up to you"
"I don't mind where I stay… I mean with you or in a hotel you see I've lived with a man for 2 years now. He was more of a father figure". It wasn't that Videl was naïve, it was just that these people had power and she wouldn't waste her time to fight a futile battle. Besides, the only person she 'knew' here had left her in his care anyways.
"Hmmm well, that saves me some cash, no problem. Nice to meet you roommate. Back to business. When it comes to cultivation, it's more of essence energy absorption and assimilation to open up meridians in the body.
The body has 99 meridians and the body itself if the 100th or 1st meridian. Therefore, before you can start cultivation, you'll have to open the body to essence energy first. The method to do this, I'll explain tomorrow when you start.
You already read about this but I'll go over it to help explain it. There are 5 different natures of essence energy; elemental, magic, sword aura and Physical prowess (strength & speed). 
Each energy nature using a different form of the essence energy namely mana and qi. Enchantress' power leans more towards magic, elemental and physical prowess. I'm more of a physical prowess type Hunter.
Essence energy is also graded into mortal, earthly and heavenly grades. Each grade naturally has its limits to which power rank a person could grow. Limit doesn't necessarily mean the end of one's path to absolute strength.
Assuming progressing from one rank to another for a mortal grade Hunter takes an effort of 5, an earthly grade hunter an effort of 3 and that of a heavenly grade Hunter that of 2, once the energy grade reaches its limit, it just becomes harder for them to progress demanding more effort.
All in all, there are 15 major power ranks and each with their subdivisions. Once you start 'cultivating' you'll better understand these concepts. I'll pay for the bill and we'll leave to my place soon"
The more Videl listened, the more fascinated she became. The world was basically like a wuxia fantasy or some video game with only a tiny bit of difference. 
Training to obtain absolute strength was the goal of those main characters in those novels or the purpose of gaming. She even wondered if she was in a story or not. (Of course, I wouldn't tell her anyway (-_-))
[Shit. My cell phone is still on the silent setting. June is going to kill me and the old man will think I'm missing. 28 missed calls from my Old man and June. I'll have to call them this evening before bed else they'll get worried. But what do I tell them?]

"Grand Father doesn't care about these beings. Why do you think he left it? He doesn't even care about us and left us so why do you fight for them? He left us to suffer for eternity and left everything behind not bothering to even tell his sons and daughters where he was going to or even a WHY!!. All that power and YOU THINK IT WOULDN'T GET TO HIS HEAD! Wake up, Little Devil. This is reality!"

Cinderella has a happy ever after
Snow White lives with her Prince Charming happily
Sleeping beauty was no longer a piece of static art. 

But then you wake up and you realize that fantasy and reality don't mix.
 
'Today everything was fine and dandy and when you close your eyes, the drums of war start to beat. Chaos spreading like wildfire and blood washing the earth tide after tide. Endless pain and torment and you ask yourself, "What's going on?".'

Cinderella's life was taken by the evil witch
Snow White's Charming was a cheat and a sham
Who knows how many times sleeping beauty was f**ked in her sleep by that pervy " Prince Charming" after the kisses didn't work! 

Reality is a cruel place to be as Videl wakes up to a brand new world. All kinds of evil and misconceptions fling themselves unreservedly around the planet. Wherever they pass chaos follows. 
The creator vanished and left the fate of his creation to themselves. The Darkness and Vile beings subdued by the creator returned to wreak havoc amongst his greatest masterpiece. 
--------
What did all this have to do with her? 
Who was she and why was she here? 
What was wrong with this world? 
This wasn't the reality she knew! This was a nightmare?
--------
Charged with the fate of the thirteen realms and the plane of darkness, what would she do? 
Save them as her mother would have done, or let them destroy themselves destroy them.

Nela and Svaily made their preparations and walked toward the cave which the entrance of the inheritance. They entered the which is looking like a standard cave aside from the door-like drawing, they looked each other and nodded and touched with their hands to the drawing. When they touched it, drawing begun lit up with changing colors and a black vortex stated form in the middle of drawing. Eventually, the black vortex became big as the drawing and stopped growing. Seeing this, Nela and Svaily walked and passed thorough the black vortex. When they passed, the cave became how it was before they came.

…

Svaily was feeling nauseated after passing the gate and his sight didn't came back after a couple of minutes. After he got over portal sickness, he looked around. He and Nela was standing on gray sand, but not just sands were gray all around even the sky was gray. If someone asked to describe the scenery in one word, Svaily would say 'Desolate'. He looked to Nela and said;

"This is really a depressing place, Are all separated spaces looks like this?"

"No, not all of them. Separated spaces would have some sort of connection with their creators, and it would make them different in nature."

Nodding in understanding Svaily said "Of course a dying mans separated space would look like this."

Nela shook her head and said "It's not about mentality, it's about their qi nature and it seems there is a house up ahead. Maybe we can find the inheritance test there. Let's go." Saying that she started to walk. Svaily hurriedly followed her.

…

Soon they came before the house. The house is pure white with cracks on the windows and spider webs all around it and have an eerie silence and this really made Svaily tense because he wasn't the biggest fan horror genre. The house was looking like haunted houses which he saw the movies about in his past life.

While Svaily was tensing up, Nelas eyes were shining and she was smiling like a child who found a new toy. Nela from outside can be seen as an aloof beauty, but inside she has an adventurous spirit. As she was thinking what she could discover inside the house, dashed inside saying;

"Let's go in" 

When Svaily saw Nela going inside, run after her saying "Wait for me."

…

When Svaily and Nela got inside, Svaily noticed that the inside of house was polar opposite of its outside. There were no spider webs or broken furnitures, inside of house was clean and new. But it was not the only difference, From outside this house a small house someone could find anywhere but from inside, it has interior of a mansion and have big space in it. Svaily said in marvel;

"it's bigger on the inside." he thought inside 'Was the sword-saint Doctor Who?' Nela was also looking around and said "it's also newer on the inside." and made frown saying "But I don't see anything related to the inheritance." Svaily also looking around and said 

"Maybe we should separate and search around for any clue."

"We should do that. Here take this communication talisman, if you find anything tell me with your spiritual sense via the talisman. If I find anything I'll do the same."

Saying that she gave him the talisman and they separated to find any clue. After an hour of searching, Svaily found a library and sent the new of his finding to Nela via the talisman. After 15 minutes Nela came and looked at the library with excitement and said to Svaily;

"I could find his journey books here. I'm sorry but I didn't find anything related to the inheritance test."

"Maybe reading this books is the inheritance test."

Nela looked at Svaily with puzzlement "I never heard any inheritance test would require for its participants to read books."

Svaily shrugged and said "I never participate any inheritance test so I wouldn't know, but it wouldn't hurt to read some."

…

Svaily and Nela were sitting and reading the books in library for hours and they didn't find any clue or any secrets but they continued to read until they finished the books. Then they heard a mechanical voice 

"Conditions have met, the participants will assign with a number and will send to arena."

With this voice a bookshelf opened like a door, Nela and Svaily walked to the bookshelf and got in the arena. The arena  was in circular shape and simple. A white light shot from the middle of the arena to their hands, when the lights died out, they leaved a number for Svaily and Nela on their hands. Nelas number is 1 and Svailys is 2. 

After this was over the same mechanical voice announced;

"Participant number 1, step forward and accept the challenge."

When she heard her number, Nela walked in the middle of the ring and waited for any change.  The ring glowed a little bit and the voice said;

"Age 14, Cultivation Stage; 8th grade Qi Tempering Realm. Sending suitable opponents. Participant can forfeit in ten seconds, if wishes to."

Immediately after the voice Nela said "I forfeit." Svaily looked at Nela surprised. Sensing his look. Nela smiled and said "I just came here for journey books nothing more, now I get what I want, there is no meaning for me to fight." 

Understanding Svaily nodded and walked to the middle of the ring. The ring glowed as the same as before and mechanical voice announced;

"Age 10, Cultivation Stage 4th grade Qi Tempering Realm. Sending suitable opponents. Participant can forfeit in ten seconds, if wishes to."

After ten seconds, there was glow in front of him and a creature which looked like werewolf showed up. As Svaily thinking 'Were there werewolves in the continent? I didn't know that.' mechanical voice announced;

"Participant number 2 vs Ancestral Bluemoon Royalty"

With the announcement the werewolf attacked Svaily with its claws, Svaily hurriedly dodged and counter-attacked with his Sword qi. Sword qi separated its head and the werewolf collapsed in pool of its blood. Seeing sword qi Nela was shocked also knowing his age, She thought 'He must be the genius who is born in a million years.' And heard mechanical voices second announcement 

"Participant have fulfilled the two conditions for inheritor; Age must be below 15 and possessing sword qi."

"Participant selected as inheritor."

With these announcement, the ring  glowed blinding glow and Svaily teleported, while thinking 'Maybe not always hold your ace hidden' 

…

They say young master of Bain clan is one in million genius but if you ask the disciples of the clan they would say he is weird in sense, if you ask his parents they would say he number one son in the world but of course all parents would say that if you ask his enemies they would say he's arrogant and vulgar this is the story the young master who's weird one in million arrogant and vulgar son.

I woke up the next morning and went to work. I work at the Starbucks in Seagoville, TX. We get a lot of customers, mostly teenage girls. I get annoyed easily, but I make it work. A customer comes in and I take her order. She orders a cake pop and a medium java chip frappuccino. 

The next customer comes in. He is extremely good looking, way more than a ten. He is a few inches taller than me and his name happens to be Nathan. "You work here?" he says. I roll my eyes, "Naw, I'm behind the counter and wearing this uniform for fun." I say sarcastically. He smirks and rolls his eyes. "Can I order an Iced Caramel Macchiato?" he asks. "No problem." I say then make his drink.  

He takes his drink to a more isolated part of the sitting area. Because of this I assume he likes to be alone. He starts reading a book I just realized he has. I look a little closer and notice he's reading "Messenger of Fear" by Michael Grant, one of my favorite books. He looks up and lifts an eyebrow at me, sensing my gaze. I look away, remembering I'm at work and that I shouldn't be staring. 

The rest of my day at work goes by the same as every other day, busy and annoying. When work was over I climbed in my truck and turned up the music. Just then my phone went off, I got a text from dad. 


D:Go to the store and get stuff for tacos.

Great, he wants me to go shopping. I drove to Walmart, which was fairly close to Starbucks. When I got there, some dick got the up front parking spot I wanted, so I flipped him off. I found a parking spot that required a little more walking and parked there. I walked into the store and found everything I needed for tacos. I headed to self checkouts, because I hate people and would much rather do things on my own. On the drive home, I got stuck in traffic because of an accident. 

By the time I got home, it was time to start on dinner. Amariah started cooking because I still had stuff to do. I headed to my room and got changed out of my uniform and pulled out my laptop. I just graduated from high school. I'm taking college courses online. The work is challenging, but that's what I need. I take several science and math classes including: advanced Zoology, Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, and Trigonometry.

I had an Advanced Zoology test, it was very easy. I took notes in my other classes. By the time I was done with my work dinner was ready. We don't usually eat together. Most of the time the kids and I sit at the table and the adults sit wherever they feel like sitting. 

"Dude, Amarillo. Nathan came to Starbucks while I was working today." I said. "Did he say anything?" she asked. I recapped what happened. Then explained my first encounter with him to Kiera and Matthew. "Are you guys gonna date?" Kiera asked. I shrugged, "How would I know? We just met." 

When we were done with dinner and chores, we decided to play rummy. I was doing pretty well. I was in second place, behind Mom2. We were only a few hundred points apart. All of the sudden I saw a rummy. "Rummy!" I shouted then took the card. 

"Aww, I needed that." Matthew whined. I smirked, "Oh well." He's so whiny sometimes it's hard to believe he's in the 8th grade. He's in 8th grade,  Kiera's in 9th grade, Amariah is a junior, and I've already graduated.

"Do you work tomorrow?" Mom2 asked. "Umm, I don't think so. My boss has been changing my work schedule a lot lately. I'll have to double check. Why?"  She laid down a run and discarded, "I need you to come with me to the mall. I don't trust Matthew or Kiera to do it and Amariah is gonna be at a job interview." she said. "Oh, well as long as I don't have work I'll go." 

A few hours later Mom2 won and we all went to bed. I had another nightmare, those started coming back. When I was a freshman I had a lot of them, they stopped in sophomore year. This time I was tied down and had to watch a man kill everyone in my family. They even killed Nathan. It hurt me just as much to watch them kill him as it hurt when they killed everyone else. I wonder why. 

I woke up sweating at 3:00am that morning. I couldn't go back to bed, so I pulled out my Chromebook and started working on a story I've been working on since I was in the 8th grade. It's about me being a demon and keeping that a secret from most of the world. 

8:00am rolled around and I finally got out of  bed. Nana was no longer surprised when I got out of bed this early. I've done this off and one since freshman year. "Good morning." She said. "Good morning." I replied. Then she asked, "Would you make a pot of coffee?" I nodded, "Sure." 

I filled the coffee pot with water and dumped the water in the water container part of the coffee maker. Then I poured three round scoops of coffee into a filter in the coffee filter container. Then I turned the coffee pot on so the coffee would brew. 

Then I used Dad and Mom2's Keurig to make my own coffee. When my coffee was made, I decided to make myself some breakfast. I made scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, and toast. About an hour later Amariah and Kiera  got up. 

"Have you been up since 8:00am again?" Amariah asked. "Unfortunately." I said. She walked over to the pantry to get cereal and a coffee pod. Kiera waited patiently to get a turn pouring cereal into her bowl. 

"Any interesting dreams last night?" Amariah asked. I shook my head, "Just a nightmare." She looked up in surprise, "That's 4 days in a row. Are they coming back?" I nodded, "Yeah."  

I got up to get more coffee. We were out, so I walked over to Dad. "Can I go to the store to buy more coffee pods?" I asked. He gave me the food stamp card without saying anything. I drove the car to walmart. When I got there it started to rain. 

On my way into the store I got soaked from the rain. It looked like I had just gotten out of the shower. "Are you following me now?" a voice behind me asked. I turned around and there was Nathan. I laughed, "No, the first time we saw each other was a coincidence, the second time you came to me, and this time also happens to be a coincidence." 

He crossed his arms and tilted his head to the side, "Are you gothic?" he asked. I smiled, "Yes. Thanks for not saying emo." He lifted an eyebrow, "Why would I say emo, emos are losers. You don't seem like a loser to me." That took me by surprise, "Thank you. I don't meet many people who have the same viewpoint about emos as me." He smirked, "You're welcome. I'm guessing I'll see you later." he said before walking away. 

I went to the coffee aisle and found a huge box of coffee pods. I put it in the cart and headed to self checkouts. On the way home, I decided to listen to metal. I was singing along when someone rear ended me, hard. My head went forwards and then backwards and hit the back of my seat. The airbag activated. My head hurt really bad. I tried to find my phone, but I couldn't get to it.

Somebody showed up at my window, "Ma'am are you ok?" My vision was blurry, but I could tell the man was around my Dad's age. "My head hurts and I can't see very well. I can't find my phone. I was gonna call...911." I said. "Ma'am the paramedics are on their way. The guy who rear ended you drove off, but I saw his license plate." he said. 

The next thing I know the paramedics showed up. They helped me out of the car. A doctor started asking me questions. He said I might have a concussion. I got taken to the hospital. 

    Dad showed up 30 minutes after I got there. "Is she ok?" he asked a doctor. "She has a concussion. She might be a little forgetful and she will be sensitive to loud sounds and bright lights. She will most likely get dizzy at random times throughout the day." the doctor said. 

    Dad drove me home in his car instead of Mom2's. He said the car was currently being worked on. When we got home I discovered that he was able to get the coffee. I decided to make some. It seemed every sound was making my head pound. I had to take my coffee to my room. 

    Dad informed everyone about what happened. Mom2 came to check on me later. "I'm sorry about your car and that I can't go to the mall with you today." I said. "It's fine I'll just get your Dad to come with me. Can we borrow your truck?" she asked. I handed her the keys. "Thank you." she said and then she left. 

Sarah falls in love with a guy who puts a gun to her head. Her sister falls in love with a surfer dude. It's all fun and games as they live their lives wondering what's gonna come next.

"Oh, I see… Mother, those 3 books which you mentioned earlier, can I find them in our library?" Qing Shui eagerly asked.

The 3 books that Qing Yi mentioned were not rare or valuable books, they could in fact be considered relatively common. Just from the titles of these books, one could tell that the knowledge recorded in them was elementary knowledge on herbs that served as the foundation of an alchemist's knowledge.

"Therefore, copies of these books are extremely commonplace, even commoners that do not belong to any clans will have a copy of them. Almost all of the adults in Qing Village have flipped through the contents of the 3 books, memorizing it as much as possible. After all, when they are out hunting or foraging in the wilds, with luck they might be able to discover valuable herbs which they might overlook if not for the knowledge from the books." Qing Yi explained, with hints of curiousity in her eyes as she looked at Qing Shui.

After learning from Qing Yi that the copies of <<Continental Medical Annal>>, <<10,000 Herbology Encyclopedia>> and the <<Herbal Combination Formula>> were extremely widespread, Qing Shui could confirm that the knowledge within these books was at most elementary knowledge that made up the foundation of an alchemist. If the books were rare and valuable, how would so many people be able to have access to them?

Since Qing Shui had already decided that he wanted to become an alchemist, he decided to take the chance now to read the books containing information pertaining to the art of alchemy. Since there was nothing he could do to facilitate his breakthrough to the 4th layer of Ancient Strengthening Technique at the moment, Qing Shui wanted to obtain the chance to gain more insights into the art of alchemy, he wanted to read more and find out if the alchemy he knew from [Western Fantasy] was similar to the one they practiced in World of the Nine Continents.

"Qing Shui, why the sudden interest in reading?" Qing Yi could sense that Qing Shui had a burning curiosity regarding the knowledge these books contained.

"Keke, Mother, you are in the medicinal herbs business, I wish to understand more about herbs so that I will be able to assist you. Who knows, I may even become an alchemist in the future as well. Qing Shui said half-jokingly.

"You little brat, how could it be so easy for one to become an alchemist." Qing Yi smiled gently. "Nevermind, we will look towards the future, after all, a moment of oppression counts for nothing. As the saying goes: one must suffer before one can accomplish great things." Qing Yi warmly said as she rubbed Qing Shui's hair. Looking at Qing Yi, Qing Shui once again felt the greatness of motherly love..

"Mother, I am planning to leave Qing Village in the next few days. I want to see the outside world. After all, I'm already 15, and I have never even stepped out of Qing Village before! People would label me as a country bumpkin if they knew." Qing Shui yearned for the world outside immensely. He also knew that bringing this topic up would cause Qing Yi to worry about him, after all, his strength was supposedly only at the level of 3rd grade of the Blue Lotus Art.

Qing Yi furrowed her brows in worry and blamed herself in her heart. She blamed herself for not bringing Qing Shui along when she went to Hundred Miles City. Qing Yi was afraid that Qing Shui might become overly intrigued by the beautiful sights outside of Qing Village and refuse to return! He was bound to suffer and get bullied outside of Qing Village with the meager bit of strength he possessed."

What Qing Yi didn't know was that Qing Shui's mental state had already matured to the state of an adult a long time ago. Pain and suffering? What are those? Before true determination, those are nothing! Qing Shui had long since understood that, in this world where cultivation was key, the strong ruled over everything. Power is the most absolute authority, while strength determined a person's status. It was the same throughout the ages.

Looking at Qing Yi's furrowed eyebrows, Qing Shui knew that she was worrying about him. This was also expected.. If he wanted to leave the village, he would have to come out with a reasonable excuse.

"Mother, are you worried that I will be bullied?" Qing Shui blinked his eyes, seemingly innocently, trying to make the atmosphere less edgy. After all, all children are close to the heart of their parents, how could Qing Shui not understand Qing Yi's worry for him.

"Hmm, Qing Shui, how about this? Just stay here for a few months longer, after I become less busy, I will accompany you to tour the outside world together, alright?" Qing Yi felt bitter in her heart. After all, a large clan like the Qing Clan needs plenty of capital to operate. Her medicinal business in the Hundred Miles City was imperative to the survival of the Qing Clan. In addition, recently there had been a a huge business transaction taking place. Hints of hesitation appeared in her heart, because on one hand she wanted to accompany Qing Shui, while on the other hand, she would need to conclude this business transaction personally.

Qing Shui went over and comforted Qing Yi, as he could see that Qing Yi was torn between the two fronts.

"Mother, actually I am not as weak as I appear to be, I have something that I always wanted to tell you." Qing Shui started to squirm uncomfortably, he could not tell the whole truth, but he needed something close to that, something which also sounded reasonable so as to allow Qing Yi to believe him.

"Oh, you little brat, after you grew up you decided to play tricks on your mother uh?" Qing Shui smiled as slightly berated Qing Shui. "Okay, go ahead, tell me what is it that you are hiding."

After Qing Shui saw the smile appear on Qing Yi's face, he knew that this was a good thing, if he could successfully convince Qing Yi now, he would have the chance to explore the world outside of Qing Village.

"Five years ago, at the bottom of the western mountains, I met an extremely ancient man. After seeing me, the old man laughed and said that this was a chance meeting, he had a feeling that this must be an arrangement of destiny! The old man reviewed my cultivation techniques and said that the strengthening technique I was currently practicing was not suited for myself. After that, he taught me a set of strengthening techniques that would not only be able to refine my tendons and bones, but also massively increase my level of strength! In addition, before he left, he also imparted to me a set of fist techniques. Back then, I was young and ignorant and didn't really understood much. However, I practiced the techniques the old man taught me and have gained some small success within the last 5 years. Now that 5 years has passed, I regret not learning more from him. Because now that I think about it, he must have been a Xian Tian cultivator!" Qing Shui hurriedly sprouted out a whole bunch of crap, mixing in  some elements of the truth.

Qing Yi held an unbelieving gaze in her eyes as she discovered the many glaring loopholes of the story Qing Shui explained. However, she still silently let him finish.

"You said that you had some small success after cultivating for 5 years, so what is your actual strength now?" Qing Yi appreciated that Qing Shui was trying to make her feel less worried. However, she hoped what Qing Shui said was true!

"Hmm the old man didn't say so I am not really sure what level my strength has reached. However, I can say for certain that currently, my strength can be counted within the top 20 of the 3rd generation disciples" Qing Shui didn't dare to tell Qing Yi about his true strength.

"Since it is like this, and seeing how confident you are, Mother shall suppress her strength to Martial Warrior, 6th grade and have a small competition with you." Qing Yi said with anticipation. She could not wait to find out how much had Qing Shui grown in these 5 years.

Qing Shui smiled with elation in his heart, his scheme had succeeded "If I manage to win, can mother grant me permission to leave Qing Village?"

Qing Yi hesitated for awhile, looking at the confident expression on Qing Shui's face, she was uncertain if she should be happy or sad. She was worried that Qing Shui might end up the victor, but she also hoped that he would win, proving to everyone that his strength level could be comparable to Martial Warrior, 6th grade! The stronger he was, the better! This meant that he would have the ability to protect himself when he is journeying outside Qing Village.

Qing Yi gave Qing Shui an ultimatum. "Defeat me and you will have my permission!" Although, her heart was thinking that if Qing Shui proved to be stronger than expected, she would just stealthily increase her strength accordingly.

Qing Shui beamed, with a wide smile on his face. "Okay, I am ready!"

Qing Yi was at the realm of Martial Commander, 8th Grade, if Qing Yi suppressed her strength to Martial Warrior, 6th grade,  then he was absolutely certain that she would not be a match for him.
