"Please step forward, my dear*," commanded the voice of the ruler of death. With a nod, the young lady replied, "Yes, master." She stepped forward and looked into his light goldenrod eyes with her plum purple eyes. She smiled and clasped her hands together. Another day, and each time she approached him, she felt nervous.
"Good afternoon, Diedrick. What are your demands?" she asked. Diedrick looked straight forward at the view of the village. Nobody seemed to be sickly, which bothered him since he hasn't had a single job in weeks. Looking back at his slave, he sat up on his chair and placed his index finger underneath her chin. "Adela," he began, "You have been acting quite strange for these past weeks. Is something the matter?" Adela bit her lip and did not respond. Diedrick then stood up and wrapped his arm around her neck. "You can tell me, can't you? I'm sure I shall understand no matter what it is." Turning her head sideways, she closed her eyes and replied, "I can't tell you for it is too personal." She gently nudged Diedrick's arm away and headed back inside the castle to have some alone time in her room.
Within seconds, she heard footsteps that became increasingly louder and faster follow her. All of a sudden, she felt an arm grab her neck and pin her against the cold stone wall. "I'm assuming you don't want to tell me because it has something to do with me." Through her limited oxygen, Adela replied, "This has nothing to do with you." She yelped in pain when the grasp grew tighter and her face was turning ghastly pale. "Don't lie to me, Adela. You made the promise that you'd tell me EVERYTHING no matter what it was." With her free hand, Adela grabbed Diedrick's hand and placed a golden spherical locket inside. Confused, Diedrick released Adela and examined the locket. "There's something I've been meaning to tell you for these past 4 years I've been with you," she said with a frown. She placed her hand over her reddened neck and sighed.
Diedrick looked at the locket and opened it using the pointed fingernail of his thumb. There was nothing inside besides the engraving of a scythe on the left side. "You gave this to me 3 years ago after I had served you for only a year," Adela began to explain. "After that, you kept asking me what I wanted. I never wanted anything from you, Diedrick. Not even your true love for me can fulfill my needs. All I've wanted these past 4 years was marriage and children. Once you took me away to your castle, I thought you were the one that would help me achieve my future, the one I've had for those 4 years."
Diedrick took at least a minute to take in everything Adela had said. If this was true, how come she never said anything before? It didn't make any sense and was hinting disobedience. His face started to read disgust and disbelief. After shaking his head in disappointment, he turned away and replied, "Until I say so, I don't want you anywhere near me. I have heard enough from you. Better yet, this is the LAST thing I want to hear from you." "Diedrick, please, I was only-" "Nein*! That is enough!" Diedrick hissed by the time Adela touched his hand. He immediately left to his room, leaving Adela standing in the middle of the hallway, confused and upset.
By the time nightfall came, Adela was sitting on the balcony and looking up at the bright moon. She always enjoyed the fresh air after being forced to stay inside at all times unless told otherwise. At the same time, she was already used to being ordered around since it has been a while. After 2 years, she started to have secret feelings for Diedrick but never said a word. She kept thinking it would never work out because of their age differences (Adela is 22 and Diedrick is 32). Not to mention she didn't think that he would have the same feelings for a slave. However, she didn't want to give up on hope since she could be stuck with him until the day she dies. That is why she wanted to make the most of her time.
Before she drifted off deeper into her thoughts, Adela heard somebody knock. "Come in," she called out softly but loud enough to be heard. Diedrick walked into the room wearing a white tank top and black pants. This was one of the rare moments when he could be seen without his cloak masking most of his face. He partly turned his face to the side and played with his fingers. "Listen," he said. "I thought about what you said and perhaps you were right all along." He turned his head forward and sat on the edge of Adela's bed. Adela listened but kept her back turned. "After these 4 years we've spent together, I am starting to feel as if I'm treating you horribly." Adela continued to listen without even looking at Diedrick. Then, he proposed something that caught her attention. "If I asked you to mother the child of death, would you accept?" Adela immediately turned to face him, shocked and a little confused. Could she really risk such a decision to birth death's child? She may have had feelings for death himself, but passing on part of himself seemed crazy. He was already hated by the entire village because of his "evil nature of taking away innocent lives". Truthfully, it was his job to take the dying souls to help them die easier*. As for a new generation of that, Adela stood there blank-minded to think of the consequences. Diedrick stood up and gave her a quick nod. "Take your time to think about it." Before he walked out of the room, he smiled and added, "I'm only doing this because there has always been something about you I liked."
The week seemed to pass by quickly and Adela was still pending a decision. Not to mention it was affecting her work. She never spoke a word to Diedrick and when he gave her an order, she would go into her room and lay down in bed. This concerned Diedrick because it gave him the idea that what he said might have offended her. After another disappointment, he somberly walked into Adela's room with his head down. "You haven't said a word in days. Maybe I pushed you too hard and should send you back to your real home. As much as I loved having your company, I can't stand to see you upset." Adela sat up on her bed with her plain bed sheets covering her body. Looking up at Diedrick, she gave him a friendly smile and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, forcing him closer to her. "I'd accept your proposal," she began, "but I fear what could happen if this could mean endangering us." Diedrick returned the smile and replied,"There's no way in hell I'd let any bastard near you or the child. You may have forgotten that part of my job is to be sure that you are satisfied." Adela smirked and pulled him closer until his chest was pressed against hers. "Is that so?" she chuckled. "In that case, I'll do it." With a smirk of his own, Diedrick ripped off his cloak and pinned Adela on top of her bed. "Since you're a virgin, I'll go easy on you," he teased.
The next morning, Adela woke up to find Diedrick with his arm wrapped around her waist. She never thought that after 4 years, she'd end up serving her master in a different way. The previous night felt like a dream, but it finally convinced her decision. She was going to stay until the day she died with her new lover. Her thoughts were disrupted when she heard Diedrick stir and start to slowly open his eyes. All of a sudden, Adela tasted something bitter in her mouth that was coating the inside of her throat. Shit, it's morning sickness! she thought and immediately rushed into the bathroom. Diedrick sat up on Adela's bed and noticed her absence. After hearing the sound of her retching in the bathroom, he carefully went over and knocked softly of the door. "Are you alright, dear?" he asked. "No, I think I'm-" Adela cut herself off and quickly opened the door with a raised eyebrow. "Did you just call me 'dear'?" she asked. Diedrick shrugged and placed his hand on her lower abdomen. Adela placed her hand over his and smiled. "Obviously, my sudden sickness means that I'm-" "Expecting death's child," Diedrick finished for her as he ascended his hand towards her chin. "Hold that thought," Adela said before pushing him away and shut the door to the bathroom.
During the early afternoon, Diedrick found Adela lying down on the living room couch next to an empty gallon of orange juice. "My god, first day and your pregnancy is already noticeable!" he muttered under his breath. Adela looked up at Diedrick and glared. "What is that supposed to mean?" she asked. Diedrick didn't say anything which made her furious. "WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER ME?!" she shrieked after she stood on top of the couch and clenched her fists. "Now you're just acting ridiculous! Perhaps I made the wrong decision since you act like a child yourself*," Diedrick hissed. Adela fell back on the couch and covered her face with her hands. "You're right," she replied in a softer tone, "I'm too pathetic by your standards and I'd be better off leaving!" She put her knees against her chest and put her head down. Damn those mood swings, Diedrick thought and looked back at Adela. He sat next to Adela and lifted up her head with one move of his hand. "Listen, I understand that you're going to be like this for a while and I'm sorry for my stupid remark," he explained. "Clearly, I have to keep watch of you even more which means we'll be spending a lot of time together. For yours and the child's sake, I promised to keep you safe and I will NEVER break that promise."
One day during the second month, Diedrick was doing his monthly scythe sharpening. It was a delicate procedure that required quiet and plenty of concentration. Just that he heard the door knock and he nearly dropped his scythe. "Who in their right mind would-" he cut himself off to see Adela let herself inside. She had her bed sheets wrapped around her body up to her shoulders. "May I ask you a question?" she asked with a nervous laugh. Clearly, she was up to something, but Diedrick didn't have a single clue. "I guess it wouldn't hurt," he answered with a shrug. Adela's eyes immediately beamed brightly and she slowly removed the bed sheets. Diedrick's immediate reaction was falling off his chair and almost cutting himself with his scythe. He looked up at Adela while placing his hand over his nose, in case it was bleeding. The cause of the reaction was seeing her in what looked like a bikini. Both top and bottom were crimson red and perfectly hugged her every curves. While slowly sliding her hand down to her bare mid-section, she innocently asked," Do I still look pretty when I'm pregnant?" Diedrick slammed his eyelids shut and aggressively grabbed Adela's arm. "Are you honestly asking me this? This is the second god damn time you did this to me!" he hissed. Adela used her free hand to cover her face and hide her visible tears. "I'm sorry," she coughed loudly. Diedrick quickly pulled Adela in front of her and covered her with her bed sheets. "I knew something like this would happen. That is why I had spare time to ask a favor from the council. I had them hire someone to care for you while I'm on duty or busy," he paused to look back at his scythe, "with my monthly scythe sharpening."
When they heard the front door knock, Diedrick immediately sprang to his feet and answered the door. "Thank god, you must be the-" he cut himself off to get a better look at the care taker. So far, the obvious problem was that she looked like a teenager and probably had the brains of one. The girl shook Diedrick's hand and said, "Dani, senior adviser of the council reporting for duty. Thanks again for hiring me." Diedrick shook his head in disbelief. "There's no way they could've hired you. Is Rory getting back at me for something I don't know about? If so, then it's not funny!" Dani lowered her head with a sigh and started playing with her fingers. "Sir, they really did send me," she explained. She turned away and added with another sigh, "If you don't want me because I look like a teenager, then I understand. I always get that same look on clients' faces." Diedrick rubbed his temples and groaned. It was either this girl or putting Adela in greater danger. "If the council sent you, then they must have had a perfectly good reason. I'm sorry if I prejudged you before I got to know what you're really like. I just want Adela safe from harm." "Does that mean I can stay?" Dani asked as she turned back with her eyes gleaming in hope. The moment she saw Diedrick nod, Dani grabbed her suitcase and ran into the castle living room. Looking back at him, she said, "No worries, my newest client. It is my duty to maintain the safety of this place and obey every order given to me!" With a nod of agreement, Diedrick replied, "There is a guest room upstairs. After you settle yourself in, I will talk to you about your job from now until the child is born." Dani clapped her hands rapidly in excitement and rushed upstairs to her new room*.
"DIEDRICK!" Adela screamed at the top of her lungs. Diedrick rushed into Adela's room to find her grasping Dani by the neck. "Who is she and what is she doing here? She came in here and said that I'm her new client or something!" "Well," Diedrick began with a nervous laugh, "She is the one the council hired to help care for you." Adela dropped Dani, who fell to her knees gasping for air, and glared coldly. "She looks like a joke, a teenage joke to be exact, but I guess I'll put here for a test trail." Dani got to her feet and pointed a finger at Adela. "Just to let you know, I stop aging once I'm a teenager! That was actually 50 years ago which means I'm really 65," she explained. Damn whatever species grants her eternal youth, Adela thought. "Thank you and I'm a phoenix eternity*," Dani answered, as if she read her expression. Adela bit her lip and held her bed sheets close.
Dani walked into the hall and spotted the empty guest room. "Here we go," she said as she grabbed her suitcase and entered the room. "Of course you're going to need the list of your duties for the rest of your stay," Diedrick explained as he handed Dani a small folded paper. She unfolded the paper to reveal that the list expanded all the way to where it touched the floor. She squinted her eyes to read the writing, but realized it was written in German. "If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask," Diedrick chuckled and headed towards his room. It seemed that Dani thought that this would be easy, but she had no idea about what lied ahead for her.
Dani was panting frantically while resting her head against the walls. She had been yet again derived of sleep due to Adela's constant needs. Not to mention she was to the point of dying from exhaustion*. Diedrick was no help because he was too busy sleeping like a baby every single night. "Damn this," she muttered and she hugged her knees. "Next thing I know, I'm going to be left alone with her or something!"
All of a sudden, she heard descending footsteps coming front the stairs. She stood and looked from the stairway to find Diedrick carrying a suitcase in his hand. "Don't leave me here alone!" Dani called out. Diedrick looked up at Dani and motioned a hand gesture that forced her down the stairs. "Of course, I forgot to tell you that I'm going away," he said. Dani felt her right eye twitch in fear. "F-f-f-for how long?" she managed to ask. "5 months, which means the child will already be born by the time I come back," Diedrick began to explain. "As part of the head council and one of Rory's most trusted workers, it is my job to help prepare for a special promotions meeting we have every half a decade. Of course, YOU have to wait 5 more years until you have a chance to being on the head council. Until then, be sure you take care of Adela when I'm gone." His tone suddenly went threatening and he grabbed Dani by the shoulders. "And I mean it when I say that. She is my girl and I love her very much. If I come back to see even ONE thing out of order," He paused and brought his scythe against Dani's neck with his eyes glowing blood red, "You'll bring about the side of me that kills*." Obviously, what he meant was no joke, so Dani nodded slowly in agreement.
"Now I best be on my-" Diedrick cut himself off to find Adela standing in front of him, teary-eyed. She grabbed part of his cloak and started sobbing on his shoulder. "Are you really leaving me?!" she cried. Dani crossed her arms and gave off a "You should've told her first" smirk. Ignoring Dani, Diedrick brushed Adela's hair and said, "Please don't be upset about this. I'll come back by the time you birth the child." "I want you to be there when I birth the child!" she argued while choking on sobs. With a depressing sigh, Diedrick lifted up her chin and added, "I promise by every corpse I have saved that I will return as soon as I can." He tenderly kissed her lips and struck a warning glare at Dani. Within seconds, he was out of the castle and temporarily out of Adela's life. "Look on the bright side, dearie! I'm still here, aren't I?" Dani asked with a bright smile, which caused Adela to fall to her knees and sob even louder. "Well, I'm going to go grocery shopping. Behave yourself while I'm gone," Dani said with a nervous laugh and quickly rushed out of the castle.
Before every place she went to outside the castle, Dani was instructed to wear a disguise and an alias. Her disguise consisted of a blonde wig, pink contacts, a white tank top, dark blue jeans, and tall black heels. The alias she went by was Ima Nnoying*. When she reached the market, the only thing she was stared at for was her eyes. Some assumed she had pink eye or was blind. One person who was most suspicious was someone who worked at the market. Sometimes he tried to approach Ima and ask her name or if she knew somebody he knew of a long time ago. There were also times when he followed her around without her noticing at all. Either way, he was obviously up to something.
He approached Ima for a second time and asked, "Can you help me find my sister?" Ima shrugged and said that she didn't have a clue of what his sister looked like. When the young man held out a picture, Ima's jaw fell to the floor. The girl looked EXACTLY like Adela! "Allow me to explain," he began. "My name is Gunther and my sister, Adela, has been missing for 4 years. The last time I saw her, she was confronted by that bastard, Diedrick. I've been looking for her ever since our mother's life was taken away." Ima pursed her lips and shrugged after the explanation. "The only Adela I know is this whiny pregnant lady who eats like a pig," she said, not realizing how stupid she was for giving it away. Gunther froze for a minute and grabbed Ima by the arms. "Bring me to her and I'll give you the groceries for free," he whispered.
When they entered the castle, Ima removed her wig and set it aside. "She's upstairs if you want to see her," she said quietly. Gunther ran upstairs and knocked on the door to Adela's room. "If it's another attempt to cheer me up, go away," Adela's voice hissed from inside. Gunther slowly opened the door and couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his sister. The two remained silent until Adela stood up and walked over to examine Gunther's face. His eyes were forest green and his hair was spiky on the front and golden blonde. He felt Adela's hand smooth across his chin and stopped at the middle of his chest. She lowered part of his shirt to find a red slash across his torso. Her hands shook in shock and she started to whimper softly. "Gun....ther?" she asked between small sobs. "Is that.....really....you?" The moment he nodded, Adela hugged her older brother tightly and started sobbing on his shoulder. "It's good to see you again, little sister," he whispered with a relieved smile.
After Dani entered the room, she said while tugging on Gunther's arm, "Well, it was nice of you to visit here and now you have to go." "No way!" Adela immediately objected. "I want him to stay here!" Dani crossed her arms and chuckled. "I hate to be a person to break such a bittersweet moment," she explained, "but Diedrick specifically told me NOT to allow visitors to stay, even if they ARE related to you in any way." Adela glared furiously and grabbed Dani by the shoulders. "Diedrick never said ANYTHING about disallowing visitors. You just made that up! Besides, even if he did, he would change his mind because he will realise that I will get pissed off at him," she quietly hissed. Looking back at Gunther, she added, "Besides, my brother is well-behaved. What could be better than having a little more company here?" Dani turned away from the siblings to think about it. If she allowed him to stay, Diedrick would surely be upset since he has yet to know Gunther. At the same time, he remembers that he will do ANYTHING to keep Adela happy, even if it means having relatives stay as her company. She feared Adela more than Diedrick because her yelling intimidates her, so she finished thinking about it. She turned back to them and said, "He can stay as long as I don't get in trouble for it." With a squeal of excitement, Adela hugged Gunther and Dani tightly and exclaimed, "No worries, you won't get in trouble as long as I am satisfied!"
"Sir, we have just received information that the woman's brother has moved into the castle. According to our secret research, we noticed a change in the woman's behavior after he moved in. We still have yet to know the sex of her baby, though. They don't have a clue yet, but we're sure they are just anticipating the birth. We also have photographic evidence that they have decorated the nursery with some rather peculiar decor." The young man opened the folder on the table and took out some of the pictures. As they were examined, he stood in his place quietly and looked around the dark room. "This isn't enough, but it'll have to do. Before the baby is born, I'll require further information. Until then, you're free to go." "Thank you, sir," the young man answered and exited the room with a sigh of relief.
"Just when I thought this girl couldn't get any stupider," Adela muttered under her breath and she saw Dani hiding under the couch. It has been a month since she claimed to have been followed by "a ghost of her past".Obviously, neither Adela or Gunther believed her, but they worried that she would take it too far by hiding all of their clothes or something. "I'm not kidding! I swear I saw a ghost! It's coming back to haunt me after I stole it's sandwich!" she cried. Adela rolled her eyes and held out a peanut butter sandwich. Dani squealed and lifted out her arm in attempt to reach for the sandwich. "Get out of there first," Adela said before seeing Dani's arm descend to the floor and return to under the couch. In his own attempt to get her out, Gunther layed down on the couch and stretched out his arms with a yawn. A minute later, Dani crawled out of the couch and ran upstairs to her room with the peanut butter sandwich in her hands. "Works every time," Gunther snickered.
Immediately changing the subject, Adela decided to ask whatever happened to their mother after she left. With his head lowered, Gunther calmly answered, "Diedrick took her life after he took you." Adela's heart began to sink. She couldn't believe that he would do such a thing, even after his promise. "If you become my slave, I will not lay a hand on your precious mother." Those exact words echoed in her mind because it had to be true. Even if Diedrick DID take her life, it was probably because she couldn't be saved. Adela placed both of her hands on her lower abdomen and shook her head in disbelief. "He promised he wouldn't even touch her," she said with a sigh. That was when she knew that when Diedrick would return, he would have a LOT of explaining to do.
It seemed as if the time passed by quicker than the past 4 years Adela had spent with Diedrick. She was exhausted and couldn't even move from her bed for the entire morning. Gunther and Dani frequently check on her to see how she was doing. Her answer was either a groan of exhaustion or pain (they couldn't tell). As another hour came, a secret danger came closer to Adela. He stood outside the roof of the castle, just below her room, waiting for the right moment. He took out a small bag from the pocket of his black leather coat. He blew into it and softly chanted a spell in german. Within seconds, he heard Adela cry out in pain and he immediately sprang into action.
"Adela, are you okay?" Dani asked as she ran into the room. "Do I look okay?" Adela replied through her heavy breathing. Dani examined her face and it took her about a minute to realise what was happening-the baby was about to be born. "Okay, nobody panic! I have everything I need for this in my bag!" she exclaimed and rushed to her room to find her stuff. As Dani went to get what she needed, Adela started to wonder where Gunther was. The last time she saw him was when he came to check up on her. It was unlike him to leave without saying anything to anyone. She started to assume that something happened to him. All of a sudden, the door to her room slammed loudly and locked itself shut.
"The brother and teenage girl are out of the way. The woman is locked in her room," the young man reported. Standing in front of him was his master, a tall shadow with a long black leather coat. "All we could do is wait," he said. The young man raised an finger and asked, "But, isn't it a little dangerous to have her give birth on her own? I mean, that teenager was going to-" "I used a spell to make it less painful and quicker," his master replied as he threw the empty bag on the floor. "Besides," he added with a smirk, "She's not alone in there." Looking back at his assistant, he gave him a hand gesture which meant to leave him alone. He leaned back on the wall next to Adela's room, the heels of his black combat boots clicking against the edges.
A single event in Adela's past flashed in her head. Her 18 year old self was watching over her sick mother with her 20 year old brother. Death knocked on their door one day and asked for the dying body. "We'll never hand her over to a monster like you," Gunther hissed. Ignoring the comment, Diedrick approached the woman and set his scythe against the wall next to her bed. He brushed his warm hand against her cold cheek and sighed deeply. He then took his scythe and brought it towards the woman's chest. "Leave our mom alone!" Adela cried. Diedrick turned his attention to the young (and beautiful) Adela and flashed a friendly smile. When Diedrick approached her, he leaned forward to get a closer look of her curly chocolate brown hair, her dark plum purple eyes, and her gorgeous ivory complexion. To him, she looked like a delicate porcelain doll with real feelings. "I'll tell you what, gorgeous," he whispered to her with a snicker. "If you become my slave, I will not lay a hand on your precious mother. Let's see if you can prove how committed you are to giving yourself to me in exchange for someone you love." Diedrick held out his friendly hand to Adela. Gunther could see the blank look on her sister's face and knew that she didn't wanted to accept his offer. At the same time, she has said to him many times that she would sacrifice anything, even her life, to save someone she loved. He was not surprised to see Adela place her hand on top of his and be never seen for 4 years.
The thoughts took an ugly turn when she went further to 2 years after her "disappearance". Her cheeks would glow a bright red whenever Diedrick passed by her or gave her an order. Sometimes, he would see her and say, "I'm starting to suspect that you might have feelings for me." Adela always shook her head and watched him leave to care for his duties for the day.
Of course, she'll never forget the day when Diedrick started to hint back that he had feelings for her, too. He came into her room, minus his cloak, and sat on her bed. She was sitting near the window and was looking out at the village view. "You know," he began, "you have been with me for 2 years and you don't seem like you want to talk to me or anything." Adela remained silent and continued looking at the view. "I thought that when you fulfilled your promise, you would at least want to get to know me," he added. There was still nothing from Adela. Starting to get frustrated, he grabbed her by the arm and exchanged looks with her. "Hey, you can't just keep ignoring me like this-" He was cut off when Adela brushed her hand against his cheek and slowly slid down to his bare chest. "How do you really feel about me?" she asked without looking him in the eye. Diedrick loosened his arms and pulled Adela closer until their chests were touching. Adela blushed when she could hear the sound of his human heart beat, causing her own heart to beat faster than normal. "I feel as if I could be falling for my slave," Diedrick answered while brushing back Adela's hair. "Prove it," she said while looking up at him. He looked at her with a suspicious smirk. "Very well then," he replied and leaned towards Adela to kiss her. The moment his lips locked with hers, she felt her heart burst and slowly return to its normal state once the kiss was over.....
The hours seemed like only minutes when Adela returned to reality. Nightfall had came and the room was silent. In her arms, she noticed her sleeping baby wrapped in a soft white blanket. The first thing that came to her mind was where Gunther and Dani went to. She carefully stepped out of her bed and walked outside of her room to find them. She found them laying down on the floor, trying to regain consciousness. Dani was the first to wake up when she asked, "What just happened?" She looked at Adela and the newborn baby with a smile. "Sorry I couldn't help you out," she said. "I must have suddenly passed out from the stress." Gunther grunted softly and slowly sat up and held his knees together. "Something knocked me out before I could see you, sis," he explained. Looking at the sleeping baby, he smiled warmly and patted its head. "Did you name him yet?" Dani asked. Adela raised an eyebrow and replied, "How do you know it's a boy?" Dani pointed to a small red stripe on his chest. "There's a lot about Diedrick's bloodline that he forgot to mention. All male children in his family have that," she explained. Adela cradled the baby closer to her and whispered, "If that is so, his name shall be Heinrich, in honor of our older brother we lost to violence." When Heinrich stirred, Adela kissed his forehead and smiled with a tear of joy in her eye.

In fact many people are saying I should
1. Get my eyebrows waxed
2. Start wearing make-up
3. Dye my hair completely red and straighten it
4. Wear lighter colored clothes
and a lot of other stuff. I hate to say this to them but please stop saying this ><. If I wanna make a change, I'd make the change myself THANK YOU. I appreciate your opinions, but this is me, and when time comes, I'll be a different person. Im tired of being the outcast and usually quiet. I only have the phone number of ONE friend (my best friend, Veronica) and no one usually listens to me back at Reseda. They just think Im joking. HELLO?! Do I look like Im joking that Im a damn proud member of Peta?! I've loved animals since I was a little kid and the last time I touched meat was when I was 11. After that, I stopped eating animals. Good thing I dont let this get to me, but HONESTLY! QUIT MAKING FUN OF ME BECAUSE IM A VEGETARIAN, DAMMIT! D< Too many people shove meat in my face and taunt me, including the person that is the biggest fan of my stories. Seriously, QUIT IT! Do you know how that makes me feel?!
Excuse my anger, everyone, this was just school issues. Now back to my stories, yes? :D Dont want to end up like Tyra when she yelled at Tiffany in cycle 4 (Episode-The Girl Who Pushes Tyra Over The Edge). Yelling scares me so bad. Even if Im the one yelling.
I decided to give you guys a sneak peek of some of my stories. If you want more sneak peeks, subscribe to my mailing list. Just go to my website http://www.freewebs.com/random_rp2 and sign up for my mailing list.
Sneak peek of Broken Hearted Love Ship- A.J. rolled her eyes and pushed the sword away from her neck. "Im not here to start a fight, Im here to make a deal with you," she explained. Jacques snickered and withdrew his sword. "Aye, I be willin to deal with ye. So tell what be on yer mind,' he replied. She looked at him while tapping her fingers against her waist. "It seems like there's someone after you. That particular person is after neutral ships," A.J. explained, "I can keep your name discreet over some tea back at my old home in London." She drew her sword and shot a glare at Jacques. "If you refuse, Im turning you in," she hissed.
Sneak peek of Abicah 2-Five minutes later, Kairo came downstairs carrying Abicah in his arms. In his mind, he kept thinking, "Whatever you do, dont drop her." Raia, Lotan, and Nahnia looked at Kairo's expression with a snicker. "It's about time you two love birds showed up," Raia giggled. "Mom, not in front of Abicah,"Kairo muttered and quickly threw Abicah onto the couch. She rubbed her head and glared at Kairo.
Sneak peek of Stellaluna 2-"Wait!" she suddenly called out. He turned back to see her approaching him with hesitation. "I dont have all day," he growled. Shana nodded and stood in front of him. "What if I tolf you that I can reunited you with someone you've never met before?" she asked. Vincent raised an eyebrow. What the hell was she talking about? "Someone I've never met before? Now you're confusing me," he replied. Shana giggled again. She grabbed his shoulder and whispered, "She's the daughter of your ex-girlfriend, Lunakairai."
Sneak peek of The Shadowed Cry (this is the final Forbidden Love story before I move on to the series when they're older >=D where it gets MUCH juicier)-"A DATE?!" Kyle exclaimed. Ren nodded while eyeing the mangoes. She put down the basket and fell to the floor laughing. At the same time, Ren jumped into the basket and took a large bite of one of the mangoes. Nothing but a sweet and fresh taste filled his happy mouth. "Tara's not getting any of these," Ren thought to himself with a snicker.
Sneak peek of Death's Child-"Okay I'll tell you if you promise not to take this too seriously," Adela explained. Without a reply, Diedrick released his grip on her hand. She put her hand on the gold heart-shaped locket she wore around her neck. She looked at it with a smile. "When I first saw you, I thought you'd be the one. When you took me away to your castle, I imagined you'd help me fulfill my fantasy. Being happy and having children, the fantasy I've had for four years," Adela told Diedrick.
Well, hope you enjoyed these sneak peeks. I shall gives you more once I write more. Keep your eyes peeled for a sneak peek of my newest project, Lonely Nightmares coming soon! Until then.....smile, it's good for your digestion! 8D

My high school finals before the semester ends starts tomorrow. Im so nervous but at the same time excited since on thursday and friday, we will have a minimum day! Woot! Still nervous since Im going to be taking a final for science, math, italian, and english! I hope i dont have a nervous breakdown or anything that might embarass myself in any way. Sometimes I get hysterical during tests and I hide my laughter by pretending to sneeze. XP Pretty dumb, huh?
Oh yeah, did I mention it's pouring outside. My neighborhood is being taken over by semi-hail rain! *panics for a bit and calms down*
So here's more characters from Broken Hearted Love Ship
Envy-She's Maddie's pet scarlet macaw. She is usually shy but she always looks up to Maddie for advice. They're like sisters....in a....pet sort of..way. Yes, she can talk XD
Wrath-He's Jacques's pet blue and gold macaw. He is pretty sneaky and can sometimes ridicule Jacques on his love life. He has no idea that Envy sort of has a crush on him (parrot love X3).
That's all I gots for now. If you shall excuse me, I am watching my ANTM cycle 3 marathon on MTV (sorry, im addicted to this reality show XP) and eat a cinnamon roll. Yummy ^^
Laters for nows

It's because of one of the most inspiring men of all time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luth
So many people such as him made sacrifices for this country. Many of them sacrificed their own life in order to obtain freedom of others.
Last month in my english class, we were listening to a recording of his speech for an essay and it kind of got to me. His speech inspired many people and he was deeply respected. I remember back in elementary school, we sang a song about him and it sort of brought tears to my eyes.
Sorry if this is making you cry, but I just wanted to point that out. So in other news, I am actually working on a new story based off an idea I got from the ROTC Academics team (joined last month). As part of the team, we study history and other knowledges of the navy. When we learned something about the french revolution, it gave me an idea. Especially since it mentioned something about piracy (^-^).
This new story Im working on takes place during the time of the French Revolution. There was a ship (originally owned by americans but was taken over by french pirates >=D) called Piracy Pride (original name was Freedom Fighter) that roamed around the pacific ocean.
Characters- Jacques: The captain of the Piracy Pride and main character of the story. He's sort of the jerky guy that cant be trusted when it comes to dating. He likes Madeline but he has fallen for his american rival, Anna Josephine. Being the sneaky guy he is, he doesn't tell Maddie that he also likes A.J.
Madeline-She's Jacque's first mate on the ship. She likes to wear skinny (it's pirate slang for "showing a lot of skin") outfits to impress Jacques, the secret backstabbing bastard XD. Whenever she sees him talking to another girl, even if it was to ask them a question, she'd instantly get jealous and assume he's leaving her.
Dani-I inserted myself into the 1700's!!! XDDD No description because you already know how I'm like
Anna Josephine (A.J.)-The former captain of the former freedom fighter and the new captain of Freedom of the Heart. She is not really aware that Jacques has a crush on both her and Madeline. Sometimes she cant help herself because he's quite attractive but sometimes she thinks he's a big pain in the....you know where.
These are all the characters introduced so far because I started writing this about a week ago. If you want me to post a sneak peek, send me a note titled "Sneak peak!" and tell me that you wants a sneak peek.
Note-This story is sort of the 1700's sea version of my Forbidden Love Series (with Milo and Janica) only this one is a little bit more mature and.....doesn't have a happy ending.....oops, did I say too much? hee hee ^^' oops
