Liam finally reached the said pharmacy and quickly went inside.
"Give me all kinds of pregnancy tests that you have here." he immediately asked the employee at the counter. Liam wanted to be absolutely sure, so he bought all the brands they had in two pieces and quickly went back inside the car.
He had never felt this excited in his whole life, he could feel his stomach tightening and his hands getting colder. He was nervous as hell and silently prayed hoping the test would be a positive… 
He was sincerely hoping that Lana was pregnant with their first baby. This mere thought made him ecstatic with joy.
"Eating and sleeping a lot more than normal are also signs of pregnancy, right?" He could not help but ask his driver.
"Well, you can say that, Sir. My wife had her cravings at an early stage… during the first trimester. Urgh, I suffered a lot because of her crazy tantrums and weird pregnancy symptoms." The driver said, having a bitter expression as he recalled his turmoil during those days.
"What do you mean?" Liam asked with collided eyebrows.
"Well, my wife was always irritated when she saw me and kept nagging me for no apparent reason… Always blamed me for the simplest things. In short, I became her emotional punching bag. She was not like that before, but the doctor said that it happens with all women since mood swings are a primary symptom of pregnancy. 
I'm not sure about what exactly causes this, but it's something related to the hormones of a woman, something like this happens because the hormones are not in a proper balance. 
Oh, Sir… I really hope you won't experience the same case as me. It was almost traumatic for me, especially when she suddenly got angry for no apparent reason at all. I was truly grateful that this was not the case during our second baby, my wife has normal moods already, so I guess it differs from case to case." The driver narrated.
Liam laughed and trumpeted, "I honestly don't mind my wife having mood swings. I can be her punching bag for life…"
The driver laughed and commented, "I hope you can say the same once you really experience it, sir. Anyway, I hope you have a positive result with the pregnancy, sir. I can feel you're really looking forward to it. Being a father is really the best that can happen to us in our lifetime, sir."
"Yeah, I agree. I'm really looking forward to it." Liam answered, still smiling brightly. His father was his idol, and he wanted to be like him. He actually felt sad that his father's life and time revolved only around him and his sister since they were born. He was so proud of his father, and hoped he could be the kind of parent his father was to him, to his future children.
'That man should have time for himself now that we are all grown up and settled. Maybe I should ask Miley to push him for going on a date with a nice woman.' he mused and told himself that it was time they helped their father in finding a companion for lifetime.
His face darkened at the thought of the woman who broke not only his father's heart but his and Miley's as well. He knew his father still loved that woman, but it was time his father moved on. He deserved to be happy.
The car finally arrived at the hotel and Liam immediately dashed back to their room so Lana could take the test.
"Love…" he enthusiastically called out to her as he went inside the room.
"Love?" he called again, but there was no response. Liam walked to the side of the bed and saw Lana was already deep in sleep.
Sitting with bended knees on the floor, he stared at his beautiful wife peacefully sleeping, contemplating whether to wake her up or not. He was really excited and itching to find out if his wife was finally pregnant. She had all the signs and symptoms he had heard about.
He heaved a sigh and put the paper bag containing the pregnancy tests at the bedside table. He leaned forward to give her a gentle kiss on the lips and touched her cheek, caressing it gently.
"Love…" he called, and repeated himself thrice, but there was still nothing, she was fast asleep. Lana even had those little snores. So, Liam stood back up and prepared to join Lana on the bed.
Maybe he should just wait for Lana to wake up or do the tests tomorrow morning, but something in his chest tickled him and he could not help wanting to know the result at that very moment.
Liam joined Lana on the bed and sat down, resting his head and back on the headrest. He sighed as he looked at Lana beside him, hoping Lana would move and open her eyes so he could ask her to take the Pregnancy test that instant.
"Love, why are you sleeping so soundly and deeply. It's still too early." he hummed in the air.
He released more sighs. He could not sleep at all. He laid down and hugged Lana, whispering, "Love.."
Lana finally moved and Liam's eyes brightened, and he said, "love, wake up… You need to do something."
"Love, I'm really exhausted please let me sleep. Let's do whatever it is tomorrow, when I wake up." Lana growled with a complaining tone. Liam gulped because she sounded annoyed, so he controlled himself not to wake her up. Her answer was a hiss and she would surely beat him up hard if he persisted to wake her up.
Liam impatiently sighed, wondering if his excitement would let him sleep that night. He once again hugged Lana and tried whispering, "Love… I think you are pregnant and I bought a lot of pregnancy tests for you to try, do you really want to sleep and take them tomorrow?"
"I'll do it tomorrow," Lana sluggishly replied because she was too sleepy. But then Liam's words suddenly registered in her mind and she opened her eyes that very instant to hastily turn around to face Liam.
"What?!" she burst.
Liam grinned. Finally…
"I said, I think you are pregnant, so I rushed over to the pharmacy and got you all kinds of pregnancy tests to check."
"Oh my God… But why are you expecting so much so soon? It's better we don't expect anything so that we won't get disappointed if it doesn't happen." Lana beamed as she sat on the bed, wide awake.
Liam stood and picked up the cup in the paper bag and handed it to Lana, saying, "Here… Pee in this and I will do the tests…"
Lana: "....?"


It all started with a stolen kiss on their first encounter.

[Warning: Mature content *NO rape and NO major misunderstanding!] Status: COMPLETED

******

“Miss Lana Huang… Expect a notice of harassment on your doorway soon…”

That was what Lana got for kissing a stranger to save herself from an unwanted arranged marriage.

“As far as I remember, you kissed me back fiercely and even dominated the entire kiss. You clearly had enjoyed your moment with me, so please don’t make it sound like I took undue advantage of you! And I told you, I’m ready to compensate you!”

“And how do you plan to do that, huh?” Liam stepped closer, trying to intimidate the proud woman who did not even bat an eyelid under his suffocating pressure.

Lana stepped backwards a few steps, raised her hand and growled, “Stop right there Attorney Sy if you don’t wanna taste the pain of getting kicked on your balls after getting kissed!”

*****

Meet Lana Huang, a proud woman who climbed the ladder of success in her career. A lawyer and a bold woman, exceptionally beautiful to make men dream and drool for her. Love was the last thing on her schedule because she was a man hater…

But fate wanted to play a trick on her as she unintentionally kissed Liam Sy, a wealthy, powerful and arrogant man. A lawyer by profession, fame and success followed wherever he went. A fierce attorney who won every case he put his hands on. Pride ran in his blood and love was not on his agenda because he was a woman hater...

What would happen when these two... handsome and beautiful, proud and stubborn, woman-hater and man-hater... come together and get involved into a marriage?

Welcome to a whirlwind of romance between these two - a roller coaster ride of love when it got mixed up with pride, jealousy, stubbornness and hate… Face slapping? Why not!

Book cover is mine... cover art by ava_arts38 (instagram)

"Florence was telling me this afternoon is going to be full of tests, she said today I shouldn't stay long and tell the team your not allowed more visitors just yet, just me and Tony for now"
Testing sounds boring, wonder if I will mange to stay awake.
" When they come in to check your reflexes I think I'll head over to the race shop and update the team, they have all been praying for you" that is nice to know, that team is like one big family and we love celebrating together, in fact a week before the crash we even held a baby shower for one of the engineers, going off for maternity leave, Stephine works on the cart car, she must have had her baby by now, wonder if it was a boy or girl, she didn't want to know, wanted the surprised. 
"B..a..b..y?" I hope Dad knows what I am asking "Yes, Stephine was in here the day of the crash having her healthy baby girl, 7 pound 4 ounces, saw her four days later leaving to go home as I was coming back from the cafe, she didn't know about the crash till then, she worried about you after that, offered prayers, in fact we went to the chapel together praying for you and the baby" awe how sweet of her "A..w..e, N..i..c..e" I know as far as time goes, this stutter thing hasn't been that long but I do wish it would hurry up and go away.
I guess all that spray has worn off, I notice my mouth feel dry and throat a bit sore, "W..a..t..e..r, Pl..ea.se, D..a..d" Why does it feel like it is a struggle to breath and talk? Did my lungs get wrecked? Is this all from not moving my own muscles for a month?
Dad gets me a cup of water and helps by propping my head up by a extra pillow, he takes my right hand and sees if can hold the cup, he didn't let go, noticed the little bit of shaking and just holds the cup up and I mange to drink the whole cup, still with a straw but at least drinking the water is refreshing.
"That a boy, son, you have always been full of determination, always been proud of you for it, you set your mind to a goal then work hard to achieve it, not sure I tell you enough, but I am, very proud of you and love you very much" I know my Dad, I remember her last days and I feel like he my mention that now.
"This brings back the memories of your Mom's last days, wanted to make sure I told her every time she was awake that I love her, she replied I know, me too" I can hear how choked up he is in his voice, like when he was fighting back tears so Mom wouldn't see, but she knew, how much we loved her, how we would miss her, how hard it was on all of us having to say goodbye, I could feel him put his hand on my right hand and squeeze it, I did my best to squeeze back, " I worried when the doctors told me that you had flat lined but that they brought you back that you were out of surgery, I panicked, did I tell him enough?, did I show you enough?, should we have played catch instead of building cars?"
As he talks I feel like I am crying, not sure if tears really are running down my face, but it feels like it, "Son I love you and I am proud for you and I am here for you until my dying day" if I wasn't really crying before I am now, he squeezes my hand and again I try to squeeze back, not sure how strong or weak it felt to him, but I know he's choked up, with the struggles of recovery it is good to hear.
When my speech fully returns I will have to tell him that I was sure Mom was there with me, that the memories of her, her words of love and wisdom echoed within my heart and soul and gave me some pretty peaceful moments, I take in a deep breath and here goes nothing "TH...an..ks..D..a..d..Lo..ve..you" this feels like a win a victory, maybe more words are on there way and this stutter will disappear and lose the rough raw voice and back to my own. 
Even with this blurred vision I know Dad let out tears, hard not to when your son can barely talk but manged to say love you. Florence and more staff came in, looks like it's time for a myriad of tests to begin, Dad gives me a kiss on my forehead, grown man but still his little boy, "Take good care of my boy Florence, he's all yours, I am off to update the team, I'll be out of your way, but Jonathan my boy, I will try and swing by tonight before visiting hours are over, be good for the nurses." 
Fun an afternoon full of tests, going for x-rays, CT scan's, ultra sounds, blood work, throat swab, tests for my eyes my ears, reflexes, I did end up falling asleep a little in between tests, could be boredom, could be pain, maybe a combo with pain meds mixed in, speech still not great so most of the time they had me use my right hand to point to boards to help answer questions, I know they can't take as much time with me as the nurses on the ward I am on, it's almost as fast paced as racing, always testing, never really stopping, just shift changes and some times slower then others, I mean it is a hospital and emergency's happen, life saving tests are given priority.
 Unlike my need for speed, theirs saved lives and I know mine was one of them, one or two staff seemed very rude but I know they are most likely coming to end of shift and tired or maybe they lost some one on their shift today, I do my best to answer the questions with the point board as fast as I can, after all the results men a yes or no for food and I would like more then water like maybe soup.
Right now I still have the feeding tube, all the tests must have been two or three hours, not awake for all of it, on the way from each machine I ended up napping, not that I really wanted to, I fell asleep waiting on the porter to take me back to my private room, My boss really has given all of us amazing coverage, worlds best boss ever, it really has been a honor driving for him, I really would like to keep working for him, who knows maybe one day be a boss like him, taking care of all the employees and not just giving the best to the drivers like some race teams have but really making it like a family, creating that safe work space.
I wake up back in my room, I noticed the radio was on, felt touches but not sure who's kind a out of it, think they gave me higher pain meds, I pointed to a high number after the last test as it created a wave of huge pain, but when I heard the voice I knew it was Florence, guess she is this wards Darlene.
"No test results Moose, but I am speaking with the doctor about trying some soup, may not be hot and be with a straw but it's a good step, think you can tell me ok?" should I cry or laugh? soup with a straw, oh boy, must be really broken if I am really all the way back to baby steps like this but "OO..KK..TH...a..n..k.s!" I feel her rub my hand "in the mean time Moose I hope your not shy, as it's sponge bath time, if your ok with it I will even turn the music up" I like that idea " Ye..ss, PPLe..ase.., Fl..or..re..nce." she gives my hand a squeeze, "see , your making head way, that was a little less shaky not as raw as it has been" she closes the door and turns the music up, I notice a smile but really can't seem to make out more then that, I never really wanted to know eye colors or really notice lipstick, but now I wish I could see those details and not just blurry images.
I notice the warmth of the water as she begins to wash my neck and arm, I close my eyes to picture the day I can have a real bath and shower, or swimming but I have enjoyed the touch factor of the sponge baths and I may end up missing that a little.
Ended up so relaxed that I fell asleep, shouldn't be surprised, that seems to be the current me.

Moose has been so focused on career that until sidelined after a crash that almost took his life, he didn't even think of dating or playing the field. A second chance, to find love and explore himself outside of racing.

It was 8:12 am and the wheels of my car were lining the street leading to Sarah's house.
It took only ten seconds for my Jeep to reach the front of the Fisher house, three seconds to get out of the car and five seconds to get to the door of the house and knock on the door.
An 'I'm coming' from Sarah's voice came loud and clear to my ears before the door creaked slightly as it opened and my girl's body hit mine.
"Good morning love" I could vocalize as I held her closer to me.
Sarah left a kiss on my chest, before raising her face and leaving one on my chin.
"Good morning baby."
Her hands intertwined behind my neck as her lips said good morning to mine in a warm kiss.
"You look beautiful honey," I said after seeing her completely.
She was wearing black and white checked trousers, her black military boots and a champagne coloured jumper that lit up her already caramel coloured skin and blonde hair.
"I love your jumper," she said as she caressed the fabric of my grey knitted jumper.
"I'll loan you whenever you want, I'm sure it looks better on you than it does on me."
"Sarah? Don't leave the boy outside, he'll be cold" she let himself be heard from inside.
Martha.
"Come on, love."
I let myself be dragged into the house by my girl, into the dining room where the whole family was having breakfast.
"Good morning," said Sarah's mother hugging me "son-in-law" she added in a tone that I could only hear when I was literally in her arms.
"Good morning Mrs Fisher"
"I told you you can call me Martha, Matt."
"If my wife lets you call her by her name I'll let you call her too. Raimon Fisher a pleasure Matt" said Sarah's father as he got up from the head of the table and came over to me, giving me a strong handshake "Are you a friend of my little girl?"
"You could say that," I said looking at Sarah.
"He's my boyfriend's daddy," said Sarah, clinging to my waist.
The look Sarah's father gave me was anything but warm, some hate perhaps.
"I don't want to cause any trouble, I'd better go."
"Don't talk nonsense Matt, Raimon will have to get used to seeing you together; he has no other choice," said Martha while she was sitting at the table again in order to continue with his breakfast "Have you had breakfast?
"I made it at home ma'am."
"At least eat a piece of fruit," Martha asked me while she was handing me an apple that I couldn't refuse.
"Don't bother him, mum," asked Sarah caressing my back gently "Will you wait for me while I go to get my backpack and we go?"
"Of course I will."
"I'll be right back," she said before leaving a kiss on my cheek and going upstairs.
"Now that my daughter is not here, tell me, Matt, how long has this been going on?" Raimon asked very seriously, leaving his coffee cup on the table.
"His daughter caught my attention the same day I met her, she is an incredibly beautiful girl but I liked her, even more, when I was able to share a conversation with her."
"Are you saying that you were attracted to her way of being?" asked Ryder.
"Yes, your sister is not just a pretty face. She's smart, funny, charismatic, funny and many other things that I hope time will let me discover" I answered Ryder "And now answering his question, it was yesterday when I asked his daughter if she wanted to be my girlfriend and I was lucky enough to be accepted."
"I like you boy, don't make me change my mind."
"Are you already pushing him?" asked Sarah, reaching out to me and leaning over my side "What did they say?"
"Nothing that a good father worried about his daughter wouldn't tell anyone he wanted to be with her."
"Good answer," agreed Raimon. "It's been a pleasure to meet you, Matt, I hope to see you around more."
"I hope so, sir" I answered sincerely.
"Let's go" asked Sarah, pulling my hand out. "Goodbye family" she shouted before crossing the door of her home on the way to my car.
I started the car and we set off for the university.
"Stop there," asked my girl as she pointed to the pavement.
I parked the car as fast as I could.
"What's wrong? Are you go…"
Her lips collided with mine before I could finish my sentence.
I wasn't complaining if I kept quiet like that.
Her tongue asked permission to enter my mouth and I didn't deny it.
It was a battle I didn't care about losing.
"Now I do," she said as our lips parted.
"If you shut me up like that I won't complain," I said in a whisper before leaving a quick kiss on his lips.
I started the car again, got into first gear and we set off for the university.
My hand was intertwined with Sarah's on the gear lever, giving her affection with my thumb while she did the same with hers.
The university car park had already started to fill up but space I normally occupied was still free, so I didn't hesitate to park there.
I got out of the car and headed for the boot, from which I took out my rucksack, Sarah's rucksack and our training bags from which the sticks came out.
"Are you ready for today's tests ?" asked Sarah when I got to her side, clasping her hand to mine.
"I should be asking you that, shouldn't I?"
"Thanks for the warning, love. Do you think I'll get in?"
"I haven't seen you play, but I have no doubt that you'll get in."
"Thank you, darling," she said before leaving a quick kiss on my lips "What time are the tests?"
"At 6:15 pm, are you coming to practice?"
"I could do it. What position do you play?" she said as we headed towards the sports hall, where I quickly left my equipment in the men's changing room and she is the women's before leaving for our class hall.
"I'm a midfielder. And you?"
"Attacker."
"Then I'll have a good view when we play mixed," I said amusingly as I hugged her from behind and left a quick kiss on her neck.
"So you're going to look at my ass?"
"If I don't look at my girlfriend's ass, who else?" I said in her ear.
"Matt!" she said in my ear.
"Truth ahead love."
"What do my eyes see? If they are the cutest couple on campus" they said behind us with a fun tone.
"Hi, Ricky."
"Hi Matt, Sarah's as pretty as ever."
"Stop flirting with my girlfriend Richard."
"I'm not into girls but yours is great mate," she said in a serious tone before we both burst out laughing.
"Come on clowns, get to class."
"Good morning to you too Mike"
We entered class after class throughout the day until they came to an end around 5:20 pm, at least for those who had to start preparing for the second round of tests for the university sports teams.
The sports topic at UMA Rockland Center was a very serious one, not for nothing, many of our teams had become champions in their respective disciplines.
I said goodbye to Sarah with a quick kiss on the lips and walked to the men's locker room.
The way to the changing room I did it alone and in the same way, I entered it.
The men's college lacrosse locker room had nothing to envy from the major league teams.
Each of the players had their own locker, silk-screened by the photo that presented them as team players.
My locker was presided over by a photo of me, in which I was in a serious position and in which the number of my shirt, 19, was clearly visible, in honour of my sister.
The truth was that the uniform was nice, black with red piping and the number in a stunning bright white and our name on the top of the shirt.
"Do you feel like playing?" asked a funny Sarah appearing already changed. She looked beautiful.
"Very beautiful, don't you?"
"Just like you."
"One question, shouldn't I have filled in something for the tests?"
"Not if you are recommended by your old coach, besides when you transferred here your sport file was sent too, no problem love. Now let's start with the subject of clothing. I'm going to change."
"I'll wait for you here."
I came back after five minutes totally ready, finding Sarah looking at my locker photo.
"You look very handsome."
"Thank you, honey, I'm sure you'll look great in your picture. What number are you wearing?"
"30. You're 19, aren't you?"
"Yes, for my sister. Shall we?"
We stretched, we ran a bit and I helped Sarah to practice the ribbons and the tears, the shots were something she was really good at.
"You're going in, I'm sure."
"You think so?"
"Honey you're fast, you have spectacular stick control, you know how to get into a marker and you throw incredibly well placed and fast, there's no doubt you'll get in."
"Listen to the captain, you're very good."
"Hi Hugo," I said hello to my teammate.
Hugo Monteith was another of the great stars of the team, the best goalkeeper we have ever had without a doubt.
His save statistics were incredible.
"Captain. I am Hugo Monteith" he greeted Sarah.
"Sarah Fisher, a pleasure."
"I'll see you at the tryouts Sarah I'm sure you'll get in, don't worry."
"Thanks, Hugo."
We picked up everything we had used quickly.
"I have to go and help set up the four things for the tests because you're not going to relax for a while, love, what do you say?" I asked Sarah, putting the lock of hair that had slipped out of her ponytail behind her ear.
"I'll do it," she said caressing my hand "I'll see you there?"
"I'm one of the captains, I have to be there, baby," I answered with a quick kiss, "the one for good luck even if you don't need it."
I left Sarah resting on the benches at the lacrosse field and went into the team's technical room, where the coach and the other captains, Claudia Blossom, Heather Monteith, Hugo's sister and my sub-captain, Sean Davis, were already present.
"Matt, welcome." I was greeted by the coach, Mrs Dalix.
"Thanks, Coach."
"You know how this goes, we'll be giving you a couple of physical tests and then evaluating you on the noble art of lacrosse in a game."
"Veterans against amateurs in a mixed match ?"
"This time we will change the game a little bit Claudia; you are a defender and you will evaluate those who apply for the same position."
"Because of that rule of three, I get the midfielders."
"That's right, you will evaluate two midfielders who will play with you in each quarter and so on throughout the game."
"I think that's right."
"They are mixed teams so captains choose three of your players and six rookies in Matt's case, and six rookies in Claudia's case."
"In goal ?" Claudia asked.
"Claudia with Zack Forbes and Matt with Leyla Larsen under clubs, the Monteith will evaluate the new goalkeepers."
"Yes, coach."
"Then go and put everything in order. I trust in you."
When we go out on the field you can see about twenty other boys and girls besides Sarah.
"Good afternoon everyone, my name is Claudia Blossom captain of the women's team and this is Matt Dunbar captain of the men's team and three times MVP of the national lacrosse championship. Welcome to the Cyclone and Lycan trials."
"That goes without saying but thank you, Claudia. As my colleague said today both teams are starting their trials, they will be hard. I will not lie but I am sure that within this group are the eight players we need to make these teams perfect. Now before you think 'I am perfect physically, the tests are easy', in the UMA is not only important the physique of our players, we demand a high level academically speaking, which means that if you do not fulfil in the studies you are out, but because you believe that there are vacancies? Let the tests begin, ladies."
"Well, we'll start with a ten-minute run around the field, follow the changes in pace and don't lag behind," said Sean before he started jogging at the head of the group.
After five minutes of running the coach appeared beside me.
"How do you see it?"
"There are some very strong physical performers but you should see them in action."
"Now you will," she said before blowing the whistle to end the race.
"Ladies and gentlemen now come the really hard part, you are going to face the best of east coast lacrosse. You're going to play a game against some of the veterans, I want two attackers, two defenders and two midfielders from both teams to take a blue bib and get with Dunbar and Blossom."
The boys ran to do what the coach told them to do, quickly putting on their dungarees and positioning themselves behind my back as my teammates calmly approached us."
At least I was lucky that my girl was in my group.
Now it was time to play.


The moon had always been linked to everything mystical especially to wolves. Me; I hoped that she would grant me the answers to all the questions that I had been howling for so long.

Charli POV

I woke up from Chase's arms and my stomach ached. I ran to the bathroom and threw up. I guess Chase woke up from me gagging, and came over to the toilet to comfort me. He stroked his hand up and down my back. "Charli don't cry" he said softly. "Chase, what if im pregnant?" I said with tears swelling up my eyes. "We won't know unless we take a test" he said. "How are you being so calm about this!?!" i said angrily. "Charli" he said. "NO! This is serious there could be a human in my stomach?!" I started crying. He didn't say anything he just looked at me. That's when he picked me up and held me in a tight hug. I put my arms around his neck and laid my head on his shoulder. "I'm sorry for yelling at you" I said in his ear softly. "It's okay. I love you" he said calmly. "I love you too" I said. 

Chase POV

I held Charli's hand and we went down to the car. We were going to Walgreens to pick up some pregnancy tests. It was 4 something in the morning, so we had to drive across town to go to a 24-hour one. We went in the store and went straight to the healthcare aisle. She got 4 different pregnancy tests and paid for them. After that we drove back home.

Charli POV 

I was so nervous to take these tests. Luckily I had to pee so I didnt have to drink anything. I went to the bathroom and peed on them. When I finished, I flipped them over so I couldn't see what the results were until I was ready. Guess what the results were. Positive.

At the court
" Song Woojin, age 16, will be in jail for 5 years and pay the reimbursement of trust to the victim Chung Y/n in the discipline of 45,746,000 KRW ( $40000 ) from the date this decision is announced. The court closed the hearing! " the judge announced the sentenced.
Woojin was shocked. He thought he could escape from jail because his parents were wealthy. His parents were shocked the same as him and begged her parents' to forgive them for raised a bastard.
" Bomin-ah! We are friends, right? Please forgive my son! " his mother, Mrs. Song begged her mom. Her mother slapped Mrs. Song.
" How can I forgive someone who raped my daughter with a word friend?!? I trusted you, Soojin! But your son did a really bad thing that I couldn't imagine of! You awful bitch! " She said and took Y/n outside along with her relatives. Left behind Woojin and his parents saying goodbye to each other. Woojin was scared of jail but dared to commit the crime. It wasn't fair enough compared to what he did to her but at least he wouldn't be near her again.

In Y/n's bedroom
She had been sick lately. She didn't go to school for the past 3 days which made her parents worried. Her parents tried to cook all of her favorite foods but she ended up throwing up and didn't eat. Her mother was so worried and tried to look online to see if anything could help her become better. Vitamins pill, veggies and sweet didn't work.
Her mother suddenly landed her eyes on pregnancy symptoms and realized that she might be pregnant. Her mother bought her few pregnancy tests and let her tested it herself.
She sat on her bed wishing that she wasn't pregnant. After 10 minutes, she finally took a look at those tests.
All positive...
After saw 2 red lines on all tests, she screamed and cried. She felt her world crushed. Her life was unfortunate. Her mother rushed to her room and hugs her.
" Y/n-ah~ It's okay. He isn't here anymore," she said comforted Y/n.
She landed her eyes on those tests and they all positive. She hugged her tight.
" It's okay. Everyone made mistakes. If you didn't want the child, I would take you to the clinic. " she said.
" Mom! Why he made this child? WHY!?! " She said while hitting her chest. Her mother stopped her.
" Y/n~ It's ok. I will take you to the clinic and have an abortion," she said. Y/n looked at her mother.
" No. " She said.
" What? " her mother confused.
" I can't kill this child," she said.
" Why? I thought you didn't want it! Get an abortion! " her mother said. She couldn't let her daughter had a criminal's child.
" Mom! I'm a mistake too," she said.
" Y/n- " her mother got cut off by her.
" You don't plan to have me either but you still gave me a life. Mom, the child didn't know anything. Please don't make me disgusting myself more being a **** victim. " she said.
Her mother was touched by her speech. All she wanted, was her daughter's beautiful smile again. She was willing to do anything that buys her daughter's happiness. Mother's love couldn't compare with anything but some children compare their mother's love for money.

[ Lesson learn: Karma is real, just took a long or short time. Children just white paper without knowing what before they existed. Don't blame the child. ]

Na common sense, Fadekemi -Its common sense,Fadekemi!
"I am not pregnant!? Stop it" she yelled at Vicky who frowned at her unnecessary anger. 
"Look... When last did you use the pill or even a condom!...Na common sense, Fadekemi!" Vicky said calmly. 
"Just shut up! Shut the fuck up! I can't be pregnant" Kemi yelled in distress, she had a feeling Vicky was right... Maybe. 
"Lets just go to the pharmacy? Get a few pregnancy tests And we'll talk to Max about it... He loves you, I could see it in his eyes" kemi nodded in submission. 
"Okay... I'll just get my purse" Vicky nodded and watched as her friends walked away. She knew she was pregnant.
"Lets go" Kemi said and the walked out of the house to the pharmacy, purchasing five different pregnancy tests And the walked to the bathroom in the pharmacy. 
"Okay so.. Im gonna pee on all five and wait?" Vicky nodded and unboxed all of them, handing them to her as she unboxed each one while Kemi handed them back after peeing on them. 
"What do you think Max is gonna say?" she licked her lips nervously as she tapped her foot on the floor, the last time she had seen him was two days ago. 
"He loves you Kemi, he's gonna be happy" Vicky grinned and kemi rolled her eyes. 
"I know... I'm just... Its just too early" she sighed and pulled out her phone, dialing Max's number.
"Hey Mi Amore?"
"Max... You still love me right?"
"I always will... Are you okay cara? Did you get in-" She noticed Vicky raising her thumb at her. 
"No.. No im fine.. I'll ... I'll call you back" she said and hung up.
"Five minutes already?"
"Nope...its been ten minutes" Vicky corrected and kemi stood up, taking the tests in her hands. 
"I don't know Vicky... Tests lie right?"
"Some of them, that's why we got five... Don't worry Kemi.. I'm gonna be here for you" Kemi nodded and picked the first test, turning it upside down and her eyes watered.
"Fuck"
"Shhh.. That's just the first one" Vicky rubbed her best friends arm. 
"Okay okay... This is probably a.. a joke" she turned the other four bearing the same results... Two positive lines.
"I can't be... I can't be pregnant" She whispered
"Its gonna be okay"
"NO! NOTHING IS GONNA BE OKAY.? I'M PREGNANT!... I'm just?seventeen" she screamed and tears leaked from her eyes slowly and then like a waterfall. 
"Its gonna be okay" Vicky bit the edge of her lips as her friends cried, she didn't know if it was going to be okay, she could only reassure her but in her heart she knew she would be with her every step of the w
"Maybe I should call-" Vicky drifted off when she fell limp In her hands. 
"Kemi..." she shook her best friend whose eyes were closed and her heart slammed in her chest. 
"KEMI!"she shook kemi and let out an ear shattering scream. 
"Oh Jesus!" she screamed and picked Kemi phone, dialing the only person she trusted with kemi, Her best friend and sister. 
"Bambino I'm at your house,are you -"
"No.. She's not fine MAX! W-"
"What?" he yelled and she gripped the phone tighter, worried about her friend. 
"We-we went to get some... Some pregnancy tests and-"
"Where are you?"
"T-"
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"
"The pharmacy... The one closest to her ho-" he hung up and she put the phone in her back pocket, then splashed some water on her face but to no avail. 
"Please wake up! kemi.... See... Max is on his way... Wake up!" she slapped her cheeks hard and she still didn't wake up. 
After thirty minutes of tears and sobs, the door opened suddenly, max was wearing a black shirt and a pair of black suit pants making him look older, his hair rough. 
"Wake up baby" he kissed her cheeks And lifted her off the ground. 
"Get in the car" his voice cold to her and she did, only worried about her friend.
Max placed her in the back seat, his heart beating in his chest as he got in the drivers seat and drove to the nearest hospital. 
"What happened?" he asked as he glanced at her in the back seat. 
"We.. We were reading the pregnancy tests and-"
"What do you mean by pregnancy tests?" his voice hard and emotionless. 
"She's pregnant Max... For you" he chuckled
"If its a joke, stop it" he warned, glancing at her, his eyes bloody red.
"Its not a joke Max, you love her, don't you... If you do the-"
"I don't love her... I've never loved her" he stopped his car in front of the hospital, his jaws clenched and his chest hurt,  he could feel a heart burn coming. 
"You can't be serious"
"That...thing inside her is not mine"
"Dude... You're the only one she's slept with"
"How do I know that?. She had sex with me the day we met... Give me her account details, I'll pay her for her services" Vicky chuckled and nodded. 
"I knew I had a reason to hate you... You can't own up to your own Mistakes and deeds" she opened the door and slammed it shut. 
"Let me carry her in" he whispered to himself, breaking the silence
"That wont be necessary Max... I'll just step out myself" Kemi said in a hoarse and tired voice, the voice he wanted to hear all night... All day... Every time.
"Cara" he stepped out of the car, following her. 
"No... No... You stay away from me and keep your stupid hands away!" he longed to wipe the tears from her eyes. 
"D-do you even... I really hate you right now.... Just leave... go" she walked into the hospital with her friend, leaving him all alone with his misery. 
He wanted to run and take her back but his pride wouldn't let him, he let his heart go with her, she owned it. He was happy, happy she had his baby inside her. It made him warm inside, thinking About a family with Her for the first time. 
He pulled out his phone and dialed Dante's number. 
"We're leaving tomorrow"
"Wh-"
"I said tomorrow Dante, you know i hate to repeat myself" he said as hung up, sitting in the car. Tears dropped from his face and he gritted his teeth. 
"Fanculo!" he punched the steering wheel angrily and pressed his forehead against it, tears pouring down his face. 
"Dio.. what the hell?" he sighed and unbuttoned the shirt, feeling a heartburn in his chest. 
His phone rang again from the passenger seat where he threw it to but He ignored it. 
"Kemi...Kemi...Fadekemi" he had never said her name enough and it would never be enough, her name would never cease on his lips. 
His phone rang again and he picked It angrily. 
"Who the fuck Is this?" He roared
"Its me, milliano... I heard you-"
"Fuck off, Irene." he hung up and stared at the hospital doors where she stepped out with her arms around her best friend. 
"Cara" he stepped out of the car and walked to her. 
"Stay away from her you stupid bitch!" Vicky snarled and kemi patted her shoulder. 
"Its okay... I need to talk to him" She said and vicky walked away, her scorching glare on him. 
"I'm sorry"
"Sorry? Sorry for what... Playing me? Calling me a whore? Lying to me?"
"Bambi-" he reached to touch her but she flinched like she just got burned, and his heart charred. 
"Sor-"
"Just say what you want... Don't touch me"
"Kemi.. I love you but... I'm not ready for a baby... " he took her hands in his, smiling a little. 
"...We don't need to keep the baby... We-" she raised her hand and slapped him hard across his cheek and did it again. 
"You had your turn, now listen to me... I'm sorry... I'm sorry I fell in love with someone like you... Im sorry I fell in love with you without asking questions, it was my fault But for no reason will I... Kill my own child. If I'm going to bear the consequences alone...then let it be...I don't need you" she cried and walked away from him as his eyes got wet again. 
He got into the car and drove to his hotel. He got to his room and packed up his suitcases, her shoes she forgot on the first night, her ripped dress that still smelled like her. He stepped into the bathroom naked with only the yang necklace on his broad chest. 
She was leaving... No, he was leaving her behind. His mind said to let her go but his heart.... His heart said to stay... Stay where it is... Right with her. 
"DAMN IT!" He slammed his fist into the mirror watching it shatter into tiny shards and then rammed his bloody fist into the wall, numerous times.First with his left fist and then his right fist till he couldn't feel it anymore, the pain. Sadly, The pain didn't stop, no matter how he tried, his heart still pained and his hand was bloodied. 
"Fuck!" he slid to the floor and cried, begging her to come back was what he did all night. 
At the first sight of the sun he took a shower and put on a black shirt with a pair of Armani black and dark red striped suit pants and a black and dark red Suit coat Paired with a pair of black sunglasses that hid his sleepless night. Two hours later, after staring at the mirror doing nothing he heard the door. 
"Dude what happ-"
"Is the plane ready Dante?" Dante frowned and nodded. 
"Yeah?"
"Tell that half-baked senile driver to get my car shipped, however he deems fit and nothing must go missing or he looses his job and I'm make sure he never gets a job anywhere else" he growled and brushed past Dante, pulling his leather suitcase behind him. 
He stopped in front of the BMW and the driver opened the door for him, he sat down and Dante came in a few minutes later. 
"Dude.. You're acting weird and all... What about kemi?"
"Mind your own god damned business, would you?" he said, not looking away from the window of the moving car. 
"Okay man, I was just worried" Dante raised his hands in surrender and sent a quick message to kemi. 
Hey 
  - Dante 
I told you to leave me alone, I hope you remember that at least.
  -Fadekemi 
No, i just wanted to ask where you were you were
  - Dante
Where I am? Why? I decided to keep the baby, Max. I can't get rid of it. 
  - Fadekemi 
Dantes jaw dropped and he stared at max, angrily. 
"You asked her to get rid of what?"Dante said and Max gritted his teeth. 
"Lets not talk about this"
"No... We will talk about this... I fucking warned you before and now she's pregnant you want her to get rid of the child... Does she even know you're leaving?" Max continued to stare outside the window. 
"You never deserved her and you never will. You're just... Fuck it.... This is your mess to deal with" he switched his phone off and put it in his pocket. 
"You're damn right its my mess... Not yours" Max said and stepped out of the car and walked into the private plane waiting.
"You know what? Maybe you should go, I'll just book a plane flight" Dante said and max shrugged. 
"Its not my business" he said
Dante walked off and stopped a few steps away before stepping backwards. 
"You know.. You can right this before this plane takes off... You can make it right with her... Take your baby back... Take her back" Dante stalked off and Max was tempted to drive back to her house, take her back and make their own happy family.
Instead he stepped into the plane and sat by the window, unable to avoid the tears that pooled in his eyes as he scrolled through his gallery, pictures of her he had taken only two days ago, only a few had been taken before then, pictures of them together. 



"A seventeen year old high schooler in her senior year is in search of freedom, A connection, a feeling of belonging, Fun and love. 

In search of a soul to pull her out of her black and white life, a life of blandness.

Like a storm he disbanded her life right in front of her eyes, taking her on an adventure, a ride she thought she knew would never end.

He showed her a side to pleasure, desire and love she never understood but took pleasure in.

He handed all she required to her on a silver platter after a night of passion until her will became his mandate, her touch became his thirst and her essence became his drink.

His reward became her trust and he would do anything to please her, even it meant hiding the truth.


Cover credits- Me"

The university school bell chimed just as Prisana finished marking the last answer to the last portion of the placement test. It was split into three sections. English, Math, and Science. Prisana wasn't always the brightest kid in the all girl's Christian academy she attended but she was one of the most hard working students.
She was able to do last minute studying throughout the week and retain some old knowledge from previous teachings in school. Prisana flexed her hands and immediately shuffled among other students who rushed to turn in their paper in front of the class.
"Psst," a woman's voice prompted her to look back. 
Alex!
She did recieve a text from Alex that she was going to take the placement tests on the same exact date. Truly, she never really had a friend so it made her a little giddy when they exchanged phone numbers and began texting one another. Now that she saw her in person, it was a little nervewrecking but nonetheless she offered a shy and nervous smile.
"Wanna grab lunch with me?"
That was so simple. 
Prisana nodded with a bigger smile this time. "Sure."
They grabbed lunch at the campus cafeteria. Prisana wasn't the least bit displeased with her choice of food as the campus cafeteria sold a wide variety of common food ranging from sandwhiches, soup, salad, and other such things she never really had the chance of fully appreciate as she always ate food made for an elite senator's daughter.
Both Prisana and Alex found a table outside and chatted about anything and everything.
"So, you're married?" popped out that question Prisana indeed revealed during that ice breaker game.
Prisana happily nodded. "I am."
"Ugh, you look so happy. Women in love are often so vibrant and I can tell just by looking."
"Are you in love with someone?" Prisana asked in return.
"Love? I used to be in love with someone but now I learn it's better to stay away from it."
"It's a beautiful thing Alex. One day like me, I'm sure you'll find a man that will love you unconditionally."
"No it's a trap..." Alex's voice trailed off as she gawked at a familiar figure in the distance who ran near past the both of them.
The figure running in question was Theo. A half naked Theo gloriously basked underneath the sun's rays, revealing fine lines of a lean six pack dripping wet with sweat. He was a sweaty mess of a running man, trailing after a few other boys who were also gloriously half naked. Prisana had to blink her eyes and wonder if they were shooting a commercial.
No media was around. She was at least good at spotting the media's lens.
Theo spotted both Alex and Prisana, then ran over to wave and greet at the two who couldn't help but stare at how their group leader from the orientation had a pretty nice body. Prisana shook her head and moved it to thoughts on her sexy beast of a husband. She smiled as the image of Dane calmed the abrupt and unwelcomed half naked sight before her.
"Ladies. What are you doing here?"
Alex looked the other way. "Oh my god. Put. A. Shirt. On. You are disturbing the peace around this campus..."
She then quickly looked past Theo's shoulders and Prisana could swear she saw hearts form in them. "Is that other naked guy a friend of yours? Introduce me."
"Tsk tsk. Now you want to play nice? Too bad. He's only into big breasted women..."
To this, Alex whacked him on the shoulder and he winced as an apology. Prisana looked around and was aware how boyishly charming girls found him as what looked like his admirers stood from the distance.
His admirers either fawned over him or shot Alex and Prisana with daggers. It was a bit frightening being scutinized under so many gazes but she was actually used to it so it didn't bother her that much.
The malicious intent was the only thing that bothered her.
"The placement tests...We just took the tests," she managed to croak out as she focused on his messy hair. "Why in god's name are you shirtless and running, at that?"
"I lost a bet during our club meeting. So, me and some other guys have to run shirtless for five laps. It's a long story...Anyway how did the tests go?"
"Terrible," Alex groaned.
"It was challenging but I think I pretty much nailed a good average on them. And uh, it seems like your friend is waiting for you."
"Stop talking to your girlfriends! Hurry up and run Vaughn!"
Theo rolled his eyes and shouted back to his friend, "I'd never date the abusive woman on the left."
Alex in question, was the abusive woman on the left. She hit him on the shoulders again for that remark. That left Prisana remaining. Would that mean he'd be interested in dating her? The way he smoothly said things always surprised her beyond end. She just stared at him blankly, watching as he purposely winked at her.
"That's right. Wait for me. Since I'm your senior from orientation, I should introduce you to your other seniors and treat you to something...Boba drinks. Girls like those sweet drinks, right?"
"Boba? What's that?" Prisana asked.
Both Theo and Alex stared at her like she were truly an undiscovered creature. Prisana couldn't help that she had been sheltered her whole life. She was only beginning to explore the wonders of the world without the senator's clutches holding her back from doing so.
"Boba is one of the most delicious and amazing drinks known to mankind that come in a wide variety. It originated from Taiwan and is a sort of tea like substance that has these black chewy gummies inside."
"You seem to know a lot about boba. I didn't know boys could be into sweet drinks too," Alex pointed out with a mocking laugh.
"Leave me alone. This is a free country," he chided her then turned back to the boys in the field yelling at him to finish his laps. "Drinks on me. You both should familiarize yourself with your seniors so you can have some career and campus advantages. Ah, I know what you're thinking. What a kind senior. Believe me, I wish I had a senior like myself back in my freshman years too..."
"Theo! We'll make you run another round!"
"...Laters!"
After Theo faded from view, Alex whistled under her breath. "Wow. As much as he annoys me, Theo is kind of hot."
My husband is still the best, is what Prisana wanted to say.


"Prisana, it's not too late to stop now before we do something we both regret."

"Break me," she whispered into his lips. "You're the kind of despicable man I'm looking for that can ruin me for good."

"That I can do."

I am sitting next to Kati while she is fast asleep in her hospital bed. The doctor has given her something to sleep and put her on a drip. Before everything, he also did a quick check, and the boys seem to be fine. Now it is just their mommy that needs to get better.
Dr. Wilson is not quite sure yet if it is the chemo or the cancer, so he has done some tests again that he has sent away to the city.
Yes, Kati is furious at me for bringing her to the hospital, but if I look at it now, it is by far the best decision. She would not have gotten through this one herself. This is the worst that I have ever seen her sick. I have never been so afraid of losing her in my life; just watching her getting so sick tore my heart into pieces. There was nothing I could do to make her better and to protect the babies.
So yes, she is going to be furious at me again when she wakes up. But if I show her the little scan of the boys, then I am sure she will be all happy again. Dr. Wilson says that she also might just be under more stress than she usually is with us waiting for the other tests. In a nutshell, she is really falling apart from the seems, and this is where she should be.
While she is fast asleep, I step outside to give mom and Brendan a call to let them know that she is all okay.
Mom is the first one to call. She takes a while to answer, but when she does, she does seem to sound rather concerned. That is the thing with mom. If she is cross at you, then she will be cross at you for a very long time. Yes, she knows that it is the wrong time to be stubborn now, but she is blaming Kati for not going for her chemo last time like she was supposed to. So I am taking this one just with an easy approach to let her know that Kati is okay.
"Hi, mom."
"Hey, my boy. How are things going on that side? Are you doing okay?"
"I am a little of a nervous wreck, but I feel a lot better now that she is here and there is someone that can look after her."
"Well, she should have gone a long time ago. She is playing with the lives of the boys, not only hers. She should stop being so stubborn and start listening to other people."
"She did not quite agree to go; I sort of got them to come to fetch her and drag her into the ambulance."
"Good, on you, you need to start putting your foot down with Kati. She is not a girl anymore. You still treat her like she is that young girl that you fell in love with. She is a grown woman that goes around acting too carefree."
"I understand, mom, and I know mom is still upset with her, but I love her, and I am not going to leave her."
"I know, Sebastian, but I am saying you need to protect yourself, and you need to get Kati to take more responsibility for her actions. She should have gone for her other chemo. God, she could have been better by now, but now she is the worst that she has ever been."
Well, I guess no matter what I am going to say to mom, she is standing her ground firm on how she sees Kati. There was a time that she absolutely loved her. Now all she does is upset and disappoint her.
"Let me go, mom; I still need to phone Brendan. I don't want to be away for far too long."
"You are too far of a good man. I love you. Speak to you later again then."
With a little tear building in the corner of my eye, I end the call with mom. It is not that I am sad over Kati, I am sad over Kati, but I am sad now that she has caused such a bad relationship between her and mom. I know she did not do it intentionally. Let us just hope that when we get the tests back for the babies, that things between her and mom get better again.
Now at least I know that the conversation with Brendan is going to go far better than the one with mom. Yes, he is mad at Kati, but after getting off his chest what he wanted the other day, their relationship is back to normal again.
As I dial his number, he almost immediately picks up the phone, "Hey Sebastian, how is she?"
"Brendan, she is sleeping now; the doctor has given her something to make her sleep and to stop her from getting set. They have sent for the test to be done immediately, which we will get back much later tonight. But otherwise, she has not woken up since they put her under over eight hours ago."
"Fuck, I am going to come to kick her ass. Please send me the address for the hospital so that I can come through in the morning."
"You really don't have to."
"No, I am coming. I was not there for her the last two times; I need to be there for her now. She has you, but I think she needs a family that is not ready to kill her. I know your mom is still mad at her and that Kati feels uneasy around you. I just want one friendly face there, and I would not forgive myself if something has to happen to her."
"Okay, I will send you the address. It is quite a drive, and the road does become crappy, so just drive safely."
With that, I check my phone for any other messages and head back inside. When I get to her bed, I can see that she is still fast asleep, but she seems to have gone a bit paler. I immediately buzz for the nurse to come.
"What is wrong, Sebastian."
"She does not look so great."
The nurse looks up at her drip and notices that it is nearly empty; she disappears quickly out of the room with another one. It takes all my willpower not to burst out and go off at the nurse for letting something like that slip. But I know they do not have much staff around these little towns, so they do the best that they can.
As five comes around, Dr. Wilson walks in to come to check up on Kati. He looks at her pulse and also checks some of her other vitals. Then he looks at me, "I am going to keep her under for the night and give her something more for the pain and stop the vomiting."
"Have we got the results for the tests back yet?"
"No, they are working as fast as they can. The driver is there waiting for it as soon as it is done."
"Thank you, Dr. Wilson."
With that, Dr. Wilson turns around, but then he looks at me again, "And I suppose you are not going home tonight?"
"I am not leaving her side."
"I will get the nurses to make one of these beds for you and bring Kati some extra blankets."
Then Dr. Wilson finally leaves, reassuring me that we will get those tests back by the latest tonight or very early morning.
And that leaves me alone with Kati again. And that also leaves me with crying again. I have stopped caring if people see the pain and tears in my eyes. I am hurting; I am really fucking hurting. It is not only for Kati being sick. It is for not knowing if these are my babies. It is for not knowing what my future with Kati holds. I am exhausted, and I cannot anymore. So I really don't care if people see me crying.
So I lay my head gently against Kati's belly, listening to how she is breathing and watching her tummy rise and fall. And every time it rises, there is a tear that drips down on her belly. As it falls, I take a deep breath to get my composure, but then I lose it all over again.
And this is how is stay, listening to the woman I love to breathe and hoping that I can feel the boys moving under my ears. But I know that whatever I wish, for now, there is no damn miracle in sigh again.
We are lost.
Most of all, Kati is lost; she needs to get strong and pull herself out of this. She has done it so many times. Yes, this time is harder, but she must. And that is what I keep on whispering to her as well.
So as the evening grows close to ten, I have Dr. Wilson coming back in the room; he looks both excited and nervous, "I have all the tests back."
"What do they say?"
He looks at me for one minute in silence, "I have the other test back too."


What will you do if you only have three months to live? How will you spend your last ninety days?

Kati Sullivan is young and still innocent to the world. On one fateful visit to her Doctor, she is given the news that will change the rest of her life. 

Sebastian Caine is strong-willed and has been a friend to Kati for most of her life. He is willing to give everything up to spend these last days by her side.

Sebastian will go beyond what is even possible to save Kati’s life.

Kati’s three months is riddles with pain and failures, yet secrets and lies will threaten to end their three months even before they start.

Can Kati overcome this challenge and find that miracle behind a silver lining?

Will their three months become eternity for the rest of their lives?

I quickly ran downstairs and greeted the one I called mom, even though I knew she wasn't my actual mother. She turned to me with her usual bright and cheery smile "Hello and good morning child! Mind going to get Ezra? your sister already left and you two are going to be late!" she handed me two bagged lunches and I ran upstairs with a slight grin as I bang on Ezra's door.

"Up asshat! We're late!" id set his lunch down and start to walk off as he sleepily opened his door and walked out, following close behind me.

"First day ain't it?" he yawned, clearly still tired "New school? Wait.. We got accepted?!"

I'd shake my head a bit as I reply "yes, yes, and yes, now shut up and come on!" I'd grin as I reach through what looked like a portal, pure black in coloration with a bright blue rim. Pulling out a backpack and breaking into a sprint from the house I'd call back to him "I'll race ya!"

Ezra laughed "Bring it on you lousy demon! you can't outrun a spirit kitsune even in your dreams!" he laughed more and chased after me, patches of frost following him as he ran.

We both ran across town, never breaking a sprint. A large blue and white building came into view, it seemed to be in the middle of town and it towered over all the other buildings around it.

"First one to touch it wins!" Ezra yells as he speeds up more to try and pass me

"Understood" I'd pick up speed as I grin, speeding towards the building. Ezra laughed and kept going, picking up speed with every second that we ran. I'd quickly slow to a stop a few feet away from the building as Ezra went flying past, crashing into the wall.

"Dipshit, slowing down when you're close will keep you from hurting yourself.."

"Bullshit!" he huffed and stood up "I WON! YOUR JUST JEALOUS!"

"Uhuh.. Sure Ezra, do whatever to make ya feel better" I'd laugh and walk towards the gate, a tall and burly guard standing in front of it.

The guard looked at us with clear disbelief "IDs and letters of acceptance otherwise no entry" I'd look up at them and then back at Ezra.

"very well.." I'd dig into my backpack and pull out two letters and pull my ID out of my pocket as Ezra walked over "Ezra ID I already gave him your letter"

Ezra pulled out his ID and gave it to the guard as we both waited "I don't see why we have to do this, I get it that some people will try to sneak in but our IDs?" I'd scoff and shake my head.

"idiot its so people don't try to impersonate you"

He rolled his eyes "well I didn't know that asshat... And i'm not an idiot!"

"you are" I laugh

The guard gives our IDs back and moves aside for us to walk in. I'd go through, watching the guard cautiously as Ezra follows and we glance up at the large building ahead of us. I'd sigh and just think to myself 'this'll be fun.. I hope..' id close my eyes and sigh as well enter the building.

It was crowded and quite loud, making me growl a bit as my ears twitch from the noise. I'd open my eyes and look around seeing multiple people all around mine and Ezra's age. "its to loud here.." I'd let out a low growl.

"I agree, that's one thing we have in common.. sensitive hearing.." Ezra scoffed a bit as his blue and black foxlike ears flicked back.

A short, blonde woman walked out from behind a curtain and everyone goes silent seeming to stare at her. Who was she? Did everyone fear her? I'd watch cautiously yet a bit curious as she began to speak.

"Hello and welcome! You all have been selected to join us due to your skills and studies, some of you from family or species. You all have an equal chance in this but only a few will pass! Prove you are worthy, prove your loyalties, and most importantly do your best!" she flashed another bright smile as she left and a group of guards walked out.
The guards approached the other people in the room one by one, handing them pieces of paper of different colors and the people grouped up according to their colored papers. Ezra an i were separated which he didn't really take much of a liking to, i was put into blue and he was in green. the people of my group were talking with each other casually as i just stood near the wall listening in on what they were saying. All i really caught were introductions, there weren't many people in each group maybe 10 or 15 each? The people in my group seemed to be quite friendly although you really cant trust anyone here. I've heard about the introductory tests at the academy most were about IQ, others on tolerance or physical abilities, there were also the magical ability tests, the rest I've heard are quite deadly. A tall blue haired girl walked up to me and waved, smiling brightly. "hey whats up? I'm Jessica, though you can just call me Jess if you want i don' t mind"
I tilted my head slightly and watched her cautiously, she was somewhat familiar did she know who i was? What i was? Did i even look approachable? I sighed and shook my head "I'm Eris nice to meet you i guess?" her smile brightened at the response and she grabbed my arm, dragging me into the group of people.
"Okay guys i got them, this is Eris" she pointed to each of the other people listing off their names starting with a shy looking ginger kid "that's Michael, the tall one over there is Xane but he prefers Xanny, the two over there with the fire hair thing, love it by the way, they are Sarah and Sapphire" i sighed as she kept going, not really wanting to be near so many people at once. "The one over there with the fire tips, also love it, hes Alexander, the one next to him is Catherine but she likes to be called cat, and the two matching love birds over there are Aria and Adrian. Most of us are friends because we're all neighbors but Sarah and Sapphire are new"
I'd shake my head and wave, pulling my arm away from Jess. they'd go back to talking and i slowly make my way back to the wall, putting my headphones on and turning up my music. A taller guard approached the group and started explaining our tasks.
"You have all been assigned to your specific groups due to what we've observed from you, i'm gonna take what would be considered roll call. When i call you please respond with 'here' or 'present'' they looked down at one of the papers on their clipboard "Adrian?"
The tall blond kid in the middle of the room raised his hand "here"
"Alright, Alexander?"
"Here"
The guard kept calling names, counting us afterward. "alright, now its time to explain" they mumbled "As i said before you've been split into your groups, each group has 10 contestants only five will pass these tests and those five will continue into the next set of tests. Not all of you will survive these tests so if you want to back out now, there's the door" the guard pointed to the door that we all came in through where a few other people were leaving from. "In the next room you will be given your group uniforms, good luck contestants"
The guard moved aside and we all moved towards the blue door that symbolized our group. Once in the room we were given our uniforms, a bright blue t-shirt, a jacket to match with our names on the backs and team names on the arms, the pants of course matched the rest of the uniform. The guard that had handed out the uniforms stood in front of us. "Welcome contestants, i hope you are ready for your first set of tests. Before the tests begin you will be lead to your temporary dorms where you will stay for the duration of the tests" They turned around "Follow me contestants"
We all started to follow the guard and the group was split in the dorms, the girls were lead towards the west wing while the boys were lead towards the east. Once we'd reached the dorms the guard that lead us there spoke up "Get yourselves changed, your first test starts in 10 minutes out the south doors and into the arena don't be late or you're eliminated" The guard walked off and we all got changed into our uniforms, oddly my uniform was a bit big bit i didn't mind it that much. I left my backpack on one of the top bunks before walking out and heading towards the south doors. I'd take a few mental notes on the hallways, the building was almost like a labyrinth, it's so easy to get lost in here. The south doors were a bit bigger than the entrance of the building though they were still a dark coloration like the first set of doors. I'd slowly walk through the doors, a bit blinded at first by the light outside. A few guards stood outside with some contestants from the other groups. Well I guess this is where the test begins.

In a world full of magical creatures, kitsunes, sprites, and spirits, living among humans, an adopted child must find out who (and what) she is. A riddle of confusion, an unknown being, what else may she encounter?
