Her parents didn’t care about her. They never had time for her. All they would do was make sure she had everything she wanted; everything but their comfort, presence, and care. That was all she ever wanted from them but she never got it. 

Neither did she have friends. All the young girls of Uji village hated her. They said she was proud, hardheaded, mean and to top it all, spoilt. The real Courtney wasn’t any of this. She was a sweet loveable girl looking for someone to talk to. 

Someone to befriend but no one knew this Courtney. The only Courtney they knew was the cruel and disrespectful girl. She couldn’t change that now, but she wished that maybe luck will shine on her. 

The group of four children left her front, walking away. They felt Courtney’s eyes on them and it made them walk unnatural. 

“Miles…” Courtney said as everyone turned to face her, acting like they were all named Miles. “…nice butt.”

Miles felt himself pu

    “I am so sorry Angela,” Justin said in utmost sadness.Tears were coming down from his eyes one by one. They were scarce but still there.Angela wanted to answer but her voice was blocked up by mucus and the only thing coming out from it was croaking.Angela couldn’t handle being around the area anymore. The memories she was having were making her cry more. Her tears would have filled a well up.She stood up and ran from the area.“Angela!” Miles cried out in an attempt to run after her but Justin held his hand.“She needs time. Let us give her.”“Leave me alone Justin!” Miles said releasing himself from his grip and running after her. Not again Justin, not again.Angela’s legs were weak, they couldn’t carry her far. She sat down, resting her back on a tree, brooding with tears.Miles found her soon. He hated seeing her in such cond

    “Let us not get any crazy ideas.” Miles sighed. His mood was spoilt. He was not as lively as he once was because of the incident. Carrying Kale was not giving him the space to get closer and have a quiet conversation with Angela but that could wait even though he didn’t want to wait to talk to her, hold her hand and hear her angelic giggles. He still didn’t understand what he was feeling. Was it true love or infatuation? It couldn’t be infatuation. He wanted to be with Angela for the rest of his life, till the end. “We will get there in the next few hours but it is getting late.” He looked at the dampening sky. “We should find somewhere to camp before moving on.”“And some food,” Kale said getting down from Miles’ shoulders.She was right, the four were hungry. They had been moving on empty stomachs since the day began. Angela had never felt such pangs of hunger in her life. When she thought about

    “We wanted to tell you to not eat those apples,” Minna said pointing at the tree and bag of apples.“Why?” Angela asked anxiously.“Can you not see how fresh and juicy they are? The evil sprites use it to lure humans into loving and serving them for the rest of their lives,” Begley answered as Mile gulped in fear.If they had eaten those apples, it meant eternal slavery.“Wow. Thank you,” Angela said turning to Miles.“Yes thank you,” he added as the sprites politely nodded in unison.Angela’s stomach began to rumble again. The hunger was killing her.“You are really hungry?” Minna asked as she nodded pouting.Begley brought something out of an invisible pocket and handed it over to them.“Here,” Begley said as Miles took it before the tip of Angela’s skin could have contact with the key.The key

    “One of the sprites gave us. It will help us identify the good food from the bad,” Miles answered as he helped Kale up the floor.“We do not need that. We know the good from bad,” Justin said also getting up.“Just for precaution,” Angela added taking the key from Miles.They continued their search for something to eat.The search was tiring and exhausting. It was as if all the trees with edible fruits in the forest were hiding from them. Justin was carrying tired Kale while Miles was supporting Angela so she wouldn’t faint.She was pale and feeble. Hunger wasn’t a good thing at all. Angela had never felt so hungry in her life. It was like thin needles were pinching her stomach in different places.Miles was used to being hungry. Sometimes the bandits starved for days looking around for small pieces of bread and drinking unfiltered water from the local river.They

    “Justin, are you sure you have no idea who this cinnamon witch is?” Angela asked, hoping and expecting a positive answer.“I wish I knew; never heard of her,” Justin said shaking his head abruptly.“What if she does not want to help us?” Miles took a hollow breath.Angela thought about that. They didn’t have an idea what she looked like, what her powers were, what she was capable of doing but they’ll find out when they get to the Korian library.“How long will it take us to get there?!”“Kale take it easy. We will be there soon.”“We will be there soon,” Kale mimicked Miles’ voice, huffing.Angela’s hand had become numb from the way Miles was holding her. She didn’t want to let go but it was beginning to get uncomfortable rather than comforting. She freed her hand from his grip, rubbing them together.Miles go

    Angela’s high pitched voice hit everyone’s ear like a bomb. They came out of their boring searching and rushed to her side. Miles was happy she found it and gave her a quick peck.Her cheeks flushed with red. She was nervous and surprised. That was the last thing she expected from him. Maybe she needed to start finding more things.Justin took the book, heading for the table. He placed it on it, flipping the book open to the first page. The cover of the book was a beautiful looking woman, holding a wand the color of cinnamon with a golden persimmon placed at the top of it.Her cheeks were yellow. Her hair was long and golden. She wasn’t ugly looking like some of the other pictures of witches she had seen that day. She looked nice but Angela couldn’t be totally sure about that.All the witches she met in her storybooks were the mean and wicked kind that always wanted to kill the princesses but the witch they were rea

    “A gift from a far cousin,” Justin answered.“Okay but it is some really good stuff,” Victor said smiling at him.It was like they were talking to each other in a code the others didn’t understand.“How much for it?” Justin asked cutting to the chase.Victor stroked his chin thinking.“I will give ya three gold coins for it,” Victor said as they both went into a burst of funny laughter.When the laughter cooled down, the serious discussion came back up.“Seriously, how much for it?”Victor’s smile reduced. He understood; strictly business.“Take three bags of silver coins,” Victor said marking the beginning of the negotiation.Justin shook his head, slowly placing his hand on the counter of the stall.“You have always been stingy,” Justin took a look at the faces of his exhaust

    “Have you found her?” the Queen said raising her head high, proud, and pompous.She had long curly brown hair that reached her waistline; her eyes were brown and sparkled like stars in the sky. She wore a red-blood dress that had rubies placed at different intervals of it.Her red lips burned with fire and her tongue only brought out words of evil. Her face would have been the most beautiful in the world. She would have been the most beautiful person in the world, if it wasn’t all just fake.Her pride was something you could never imagine. She was ruthless, wrathful, a macabre. The long expensive dress she wore, brought out her eye-blinding shape.Any man would have fallen for this woman immediately but it was all fake, a lie. The real Octavia was not spectacularly beautiful. Plain and simple but now-a-thens, people with money pasted fake materials all over their bodies to make them look prettier and presentable.&

    Wow, RP#1 is over. I'm so excited cause I'm planning how BP#2 will be. I just want to say that if you don't know there's a book of mine "Marked By The Devil" that's out which I think you should peek into.

    There was a fly buzzing in his ear. It was the most annoying noise he heard for as long as he could remember. He raised his hand weakly and chased the fly from his ear.The fly still came back, even louder. He groaned hitting the fly with his hand with his eyes closed.He realized that he was somewhere but somewhere he did not understand. The last words he heard was I will take you back to your mother. He did not remember who said those words but he thought it was his mother.It didn’t make sense. Why will his mother said she would take him back to his mother? Unless…He moved a bit and found out he was resting on something hard. With his eyes still closed and in pain, he tried to feel what he was laying on to find out that he was lying on a pile of stones.I need to open my eyes. He thought to himself. He was afraid to but keeping his eyes shut was not a solution.He opened his first eye gently and saw nothing but grey un

    It was then he realized he was holding flowers. The shyness set back in. He scratched the back of his neck and cleared his throat once again. “T-they are for-for you.” She faintly blushed, licking her lips. “Really or are you trying to play a prank on me?” “No no no, no prank at all. I am serious.” She watched him closely and took the flowers from him. “They smell nice.” “I got the best f-for you.” He needed to say what he had to. It was now or never. “C-Courtney there is something I-I have to tell you.” She faced him looking away from the nice scenting flowers. “What is it?” she asked in a softer voice he could barely hear. He gulped. He did not know how he would put it. “I…em…” “You what?” she asked curiously. “I…it is a long story…actually it is not.” “Just tell me. You do not have to think befo

    JUSTIN had finally gotten to Uji. It was not the same as he remembered. The King had to exile the Queen when he found out she framed Justin and Miles' parents. They were killed for nothing. When Justin heard the news. He did not grow unhappy instead he said if my parents did not die, I would never have found Angela and become rich. That was true. If they had parents taking care of them, they would not have tried to steal Angela’s pancakes. They would not even have been in the forest. Their parents used to say it was haunted. There is a plan for everyone in life. A misfortune doesn’t mean you should give up. It means your destiny is closer to you. Uji was now lively and happy looking. Though it was not very lively, it was better than the way it was before. Princess Courtney of Uji had softened. She turned her anger to her father when he exiled her mother.

You look beautiful.”She slightly blushed, looking at herself in the mirror. She was truly beautiful.“Thank you.”“But there is something missing.” Joanne brought a necklace out of a small silver box.“Wow, it is beautiful,” Angela exclaimed.“Your grandmother gave it to me before she passed away. Now it is your turn.” Joanne placed it on her daughter's neck.The necklace was made of beautiful rubies and diamonds. It was magnificent.“Thank you…mother.”“Now you are perfect. Everyone is ready.

    Octavia found out what they were doing and used her tail to scare the birds away while she fought Leila with her other body parts. One of the birds got scared and ran, making one of the sprites fall on Octavia. The bottle of magic dust broke on her but unluckily the sprite did not survive the endeavor. Angela did not believe Octavia killed her own son. It was the most horrible thing to do. Killing your own son, even if he wasn’t your blood but so what? Kale in her mind said ‘Beauty killed Alex’. She did not understand what that meant but she knew there was some hidden meaning behind those three words. One by one, sprites were pouring their dust on Octavia but three more lost their lives. Slayman was able to pour his dust on Octavia but one of the snake tails ate the bird he was riding on. Slayman managed to survive but he was falling.

She would throw one into a soldier and the magic blade would come back to her like a boomerang.The way the team saw magic as unbelievable was the way the crew saw technology as crazy.Slayman was using his two pocket guns to shoot anyone in sight.

    “I cannot allow that Angela. I am sorry.” Kale hugged her before sadly walking away.She could not look into Justin’s eyes because she knew he would say no. She was doing a good job stopping the tears from flowing out but she wasn’t sure she would be able to hold them any longer.Justin brought perfume out from his pocket. None of them understood why he brought perfume out of his pocket until he sprayed it at the two guards.Immediately the guards left her and fell asleep. They landed on the ground like big logs of wood. She was more than surprised he was helping her.“I do not want you to leave but…” his voice croaked. He would miss this beautiful girl in front of him. “It is for the best.”Angela hugged him, letting her tears out. He gave her the perfume then she ran, ran and ran.
