Hi! I've been working on Captured, the story me and Thalia are writing, but I wrote a few stories before I started writing chapters for Captured. Here's one called 'The Daughter of Time'.
I live in an apartment with my mom, in a city. My dad died fighting a war, I never saw him before, not even a picture. I have a best friend named Justin, he’s been my friend ever since we first met at preschool. He changed a lot, he used to be a quiet and cute little boy, to an annoyingly hot teenager. I always hang out with him, and many times, people tease us that we’re a cute couple, which always makes me and Justin blush like ripe tomatoes.
“I’m home!” I hear my mom say, as she comes inside. “Sorry I’m late, the traffic and weather these days are harsh. And not just that, the disease is spreading like crazy!” she says, “I know, mom. It’s fine. Too bad the vaccine hasn’t come out yet.” I say. “Go get some sleep, honey. I’ve got to do some work before I go to bed, sorry honey…” she looks sad and tired all the time, which makes me feel more bad than I already do. “Okay, g’night.” I say softly, and I go to my room.
My dream was super crazy last night, there was bright light everywhere, and then I saw a figure of a woman, a beautiful woman, “You are not what you think you are, you are not human.” she said, in the most wonderful voice I’ve ever heard. I was about to ask what she meant, when I was woken by my alarm.
After I dressed, I went downstairs, and I told my mom about my dream last night. At first, she seemed shocked, and worried, but then she covered it up by smiling and said “I bet it’s just a weird dream, you know, puberty and stuff.” I couldn’t help being a little suspicious, but I decided to let it go, but the whole day, all I could think about was that dream.
I was walking back home with the groceries that my mom wanted me to get, when I heard someone.
“Hey little girl,” I hear a voice say behind me, a guy that looks a little bit older than me with a scary look on his face is there, I scream and start running, but he chases me, and quickly corners me. Nobody seems to be around, so I start panicking, he has a fireball in his hand, and I feel a little dizzy, I’m hallucinating, right? But then he gets closer to me, and I feel the heat getting hotter. Just then, a rock is thrown right above his head from behind, he quickly turns around and I catch a glimpse of two guys around my age, one looks more built (and kind of more stupid) than the other and is wearing a yellow t-shirt that shows off his muscles, and the other guy looks more flexible and smart, and is wearing a blue t-shirt with a gold trident symbol on it.
The one with the blue shirt pulls me behind him, as I watch him and the yellow shirt guy battle the scary guy with powers of their own. Blue shirt seems to have water powers, and the yellow shirt seems to have electric powers. Once they have the scary guy on the ground, they knock him out, but they don’t do anything else with him. “Why don’t you guys put him in prison or something?” I ask, “Because, he’s one of us, he’s just being controlled by someone.” Blue shirt says.
“Oh, okay, that makes so much sense! Three guys with powers and one of them is being controlled by someone! Total sense!” I say, “I know, right?” the yellow shirt guy says, seeming to not get my sarcasm.
“Ugh, whatever,” I say, as I roll my eyes. “I really need to get home, so if you’ll excuse me…” I walk past them, glancing at the 2 of them, and then the guy on the ground, and then I leave.
When I get home, I find my mom cooking dinner, already. “Mom! It’s only 3:47! We don’t eat dinner until like, 3 hours!” I exclaim, “Oh…” my mom looks down at the food, “Right. Sorry, honey. I got a little confused…” her brows furrow. “It’s all right mom.” I say, as I turn off the stove, and lead my mom to the couch.
“You just have a lot on your mind, I guess.” I say, trying to comfort her. “Yeah, uh, honey, my boss… fired me.” she says, at last. “What?!” I exclaim, “But you're like, the best in the department!
And, that's all I have for now. I hope you guys like it!
