Chapter 42

  Chapter 42 I almost choke on the food I am chewing. “What?” I ask, trying to comprehend what he just said. If Chris is gone then, then everyone wasted their time trying to find me when they could’ve found Chris, someone much better for the job of being on a mission! Why did they choose me and not him? Why did Will waste so much time and not go looking for him? My fork drops from my hand abruptly and everyone turns to stare at me. But I don’t care, Will has let someone get tortured, has let someone be in darkness for months. And what did he do about it? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! I remember the hard, cold touch of the staff as it had raised above my head and struck. I shudder, is Chris going through that? No. A tiny voice in the back of my head says. Will would never do something like that without a reason, he’s not that kind of person and you know it. I let the voice calm me. Corrin turns to her brother furiously, “Your just as bad as her. No, I- I don’t know what to say.” Corrin

Bullet journal

 Hi everybody! I have some unfortunate news that I would like to share with you😓. I have been having so much stuff to do lately between school, blogging, and doing things that my mom requires us to do everyday. With all that time, I can't seem to find the time to bullet journal. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE to bullet journal and it is one of the most relaxing things that I like to do, but I just haven't had enough time. Now, I will do couple of pages every now and then if I have time. It's so sad to give up something that I love...💔 Anyway, on a happier note I got some schoolwork that really needed to get done done today so that's good. I also am trying to find a good AR book. Long story short, AR is program for our school where we get certain amount of points for each book we read depending on the quiz we take on the book. We have to earn a certain amount of points by the end of the school trimester to get a good grade, and to get an award. If you have any suggesti

Chapter 41

  Chapter 41 “And you think this is the reason why she’s avoiding you?” Corrin asks as we eat our food in the cafeteria. “Yeah, what else would it be?” I ask. I immediately spot Will’s yellow hair and see him come over to our table. “Oh, hey Will!” I say cheerfully. “Hey.” He mumbles. I stare at him, why is he acting this way? “Hey, you OK?” Corrin asks, bumping his shoulder playfully. “Yeah, I might be resigned from my position as a tribal leader.” He says miserably. “Oh, no I am so sorry!” I say with a guilty look on my face. This is all because of me. Lamia is going after me  therefore sending her spies after me, therefore forcing us to flee the sunset tribe and Will will be fired. Great...just great. “Don’t go thinking that this is your fault Byleth, cause it’s not.” Will looks at me and a goofy grins appears on my face. “You're worth it.” Will says, he smiles. Corrin rolls her eyes, “Here we go.” She picks at her food. “Does Weth strike again?” I turn around to see the beamin

Chapter 40

  Chapter 40 My brain is spinning, spinning so fast that I have to hold on to the columns that hold the ceiling up. “Whoa, leth. Take a deep breath there. I didn’t mean it like that.” He says. I stare down at the pillows below me. “She’s jealous?” I confirm, trying to wrap my head around it. This means...this means that she thinks me and Nixon are like together? That’s not true! If she wants to be friends with him, she can! I’m not stopping, her...am I? “Yeah.” He says blankly, looking anywhere but me. He rips his hand through his hair. “So….what should we do?” Nixon asks. “I don’t know. We are just friends. If she thinks we’re..” I trail off, not wanting to say the word together . Nixon doesn’t reply. Oh no, does he think that we aren’t friends? “We are just friends..right?” I say, trying to get him to look at me. “Yeah, of course.” He mumbles. But I’m not convinced by the tone of his voice. “It’s not like we can just go up to her and be like ‘Oh we aren’t together at all, we just are

Frozen yogurt mishap

Image
 Hi everybody! In one of the comments in my last posts, someone asked what my long and intimidating to do list is. I might have been over exaggerating a bit..but I guess you can see for yourself when you see this picture😊.  Anyway, so you are probably wondering why this post is named Frozen yogurt Mishap. Well, here's the story. Me, my mom, and my brother went to go get some frozen yogurt. We went to a shop in Redlands. We got out of the car, walked up to the door, and the doors were locked! There was no sign on the doors whatsoever about the fact. In fact, the place inside didn't even look like it had been touched😱. So we had to go to another shop even farther away! Well, we ended up still getting our frozen yogurt but I am still pondering why this frozen yogurt shop would not let anyone know about their sudden closure. Sounds like a ystery to me😏. While we were doing that, my dad was at a golf tournament (Well he was at it but when the picture below was taken, it was morni

Ice cream you scream we all scream for ice cream!

 Hello everybody! It's Kendall here to give an update about what I did today! If you are looking for some bitmoji pictures, check on chapter 9. Anyway, I messed around a lot with bitmoji today. Me and my cousin factimed and did some make your own bitmoji challenges! One of the ones we did was, who can make the best bitmoji with the best autumn theme? Of course no one actually won because we had no judges, but nonetheless it was quite fun to see her again! Other than that, we went to drop off some stuff at my cousin's house, and on the way back we stopped at Coldstone Creamery! If you don't know what Coldstone Creamery is, it is an amazing ice cream shop that serves DELICIOUS ice cream! I got apple pie ice cream with sprinkles. It was so good! In fact, here is a picture of me in the car savoring the cup: Oh, and I finally got the name and picture of the movie that we have been watching over the past couple of nights. It is called "Enola Holmes" and here is a pictur

Chapter 39

  Chapter 39 Time passed by so slowly, I even wondered at one point if someone had stuck time in reverse. I sit on my window seat and stare at the glittering lake before the castle. Trees with leaves that are glistening with dew surround the lake. It has been a week since the break and I have already fully recovered; well according to Russel. I look down at Mavi who is walking across the ground of my room. He has been very intent on sniffing every single square inch of my room lately- I haven’t even enough strength to stop him from doing so. I tug at a strand of my hair in the front. It hangs loosely today over my sweatshirt and yoga pants. I never even wore this style back in the human world, it was only black black black to try to fit in. But now, I realize that everyone else in Mentalia wears quite fancier clothing than I do.  Even Rayonetta manages to look gorgeous when she is in her black attire. I release my breath I didn’t realize I had been holding. I find my eyes darting to th

A surprise breakfast!

Image
 This morning, I woke up to a surprise breakfast! We usually have either pancakes, oatmeal, or cereal for breakfast but apparently this was a special morning! My mom had made us all some chocolate chip coffee cake. It wasn't like the normal coffee cake with crumbles on the top since it had chocolate chips in it, but it did have cinnamon on the top and the cake was so light and buttery! I had my slice with white chocolate chips since I am kind of a picky eater..Anyway, here is a picture of what it looks like below: (With the chocolate chips:) After distance learning for the rest of the morning, I played Zelda and played some just dance. My side was hurting so I layed down for a little while and finished the fourth Keeper of The lost Cities book! Here is a picture of it below: And then here's a picture of the next book in the series that I started today: I would mention the movie that we watched tonight but I kind of maybe sort of don't know what it's called. Well, it'

Chapter 38

  Chapter 38 “My what?” Is my first reaction. “You were way too sad. I’m not sure about your human world, but here in the elivin world if we get too sad, it breaks our minds. Some people never make it.” Russel’s voice falters and I catch a  glimpse of sadness in his eyes. “You were too sad about something and you’ve been carrying it around with you everywhere.” Russel explains. I take a shaky breath. “Is there a cure?” I ask, what if this is like a disease or something that has no cure? “Oh, well this isn’t exactly a disease that you can cure.” Rusell replies matter of factly. My heart thumps. “Well, the main thing I’m getting to is- is that this isn’t a disease. It is something mental. Only a telepathor can heal it. But, they are very rare. And your symptoms will only get worse until you get treated.” Of course they are rare, of course the symptoms will only get worse. “How long have I been unconscious?” I ask. “The whole afternoon. Your friends have been eagerly awaiting to see if yo

An interesting day

 Hello everyone! Just keep in mind please that I have been getting busier and busier with schoolwork lately so bear with me if I can't post my chapter or blog about my day. Anyway, I'll tell you what I did today! Why did I call this post an interesting day? Well, you'll see. So, I took a math test and submitted it today. I have been working really hard on this math test and have worked really hard to study beforehand. Turns out that I didn't get the best score on it but I got the only questions wrong that had a lot of points that you could get😖. I was pretty disappointing about my score but I learned that even the people that work hard and study hard and do the best they can can't always get the scores they want, people make mistakes and then they learn from them. I think that this is a good lesson for everyone because I felt REALLY sad when I saw my score. But when I realized that I am not perfect and that mistakes are good to grow from, I lightened up a bit. I am

Chapter 37

  Chapter 37 “And so you're telling me that you decided to go without us?” Corrin rips her hands through her hair for the tenth time today. Once we had gotten back, we were bombarded with questions about where we went. I left Will to answer most of them, and walked to the stream. Now, I have been brought back to the castle lobby and again am being bombarded with questions. “Yeah…” I say. My heart leaps when Will comes into the room. His eyes look down at the ground, those cobalt blue eyes reflect off of the slick lobby floor. He snaps his head up, meeting my gaze once but I look away before anything can happen. Nixon comes after him, and pulls up a chair where we all sit. “Ok, so can you include me next time you try to steal all the stars?” Nixon asks. Corrin elbows him. Amelia just looks at the floor. “Ah come on, why do you have to get all the fun?” Nixon whines. “ Sweetie, I’m not sure what you want to do with your life yet, maybe an astronaut is a good idea. I just want you to

Playing on a trampoline

 Hello everyone! I have not posted in a while- mainly because I have been so busy with school and my intimidating to- do list of things that I need to get done😂. Anyway, I will try to make a concious effort to blog everyday from now on. Alright, now on with the post. I wanted to mention what I did on Saturday because it was super fun. So I went over to my friend's house and she has a pool, a trampoline with sprinklers, and a swing set! Her house is literally what defines fun! I went over there on Saturday to spend the day there. I had so much fun. I was introduced to a 'Sloppy Joe' which is amazing by the way and I met some adorable dogs. I spent pretty much the whole day there; playing board games on the trampoline, swimming, and playing on the trampoline with the sprinklers on. In fact, here is a picture below of me and her on the trampoline, playing a board game with one of her dogs curled up on a doggy bed with us: (Isn't the dog the cutest?😊) On Sunday my cousins

Chapter 36

  Chapter 36 “We’ve been here for at least half an hour, shouldn’t someone be coming?” Will sighs, tossing a rock into the water. I glance back at the water, half expecting a black cloaked person to come out of the water. Nothing happens whatsoever. “How’s it going here?” I whip around to see a girl, her silhouette doesn’t show much but I can tell that she is probably older than us. “Who are you?” Will immediately conjures up a fireball, poised to throw it at the girl. She holds her hands up innocently “Don’t worry, I mean no harm. Honestly, I’m surprised to see that you brought along the boy Byleth. I was only expecting one.” The girl says, she steps into the moonlight. She wears a simple white dress with a pink cloth over the front of it. Her hair is half up half down and it is a simple dirty blonde color. Will raises his eyebrows, still not trusting this new girl. “This is a trap.” He mumbles under his breath. “I assure that this is not a trap Mr. Loraic.” The girl reassures. Will’s

Chapter 35

  Chapter 35 Well, the name definitely makes sense. The magenta walls glow like lava and make the whole room or hall pink. I turn toward the chandeliers ahead of us, wondering what they do. I stare at the invisible floor below me, still marveling at the fact that glass can hold all of our weight. “Wow this reminds me of Zelda.” I murmur, remembering how I beat the human video game several times. “What?” Will turns to me. “Oh, nothing this just reminds me of a human video game.” I reply, careful not to look up to meet his eyes. “Oh.” Is all he says before moving again, keeping up with my fast walk pace. We get closer to the crystal chandeliers. “So what do we do now?” I think aloud. “I was wondering the same thing. I mean it’s not like there’s a note here, right?” Will confirms. I shrug, unsure of what to do next. I step forward to one of the chandeliers, gazing at the pastel crystals on it.          “Hey, hold up look at this.” I walk over to Will, surprised to see another bottle but b

A chill day

 Hey everybody! I'm sorry to say that these past couple of days I haven't been blogging. It's been really busy with schoolwork, and other things that I have been working on. I usually do my chapters either when I have freetime or at night so those have been working out but I just haven't had enough time. I'll try to be better about this; thank you for being so patient and understanding! Anyway, I'll go ahead and let you know what I did today. This morning was filled with distance learning so I didn't do much other that school then. However, after eating lunch, I read my book a bit and played Legends of Zelda Breathe Of The Wild. It's a new video game that my brother got on his nintendo switch and I have my own account for the game so I can complete and save my progress in the game without messing up with his progress. Here is a picture of the game below: It's an awesome game! I played that for a while and then firgured out that I could do some songs

Chapter 34

  Chapter 34 The words slosh around in my mind, making no sense as the letters swirl around like a fire out of control. “It can what?” I ask. Teleporting is in books, in movies. No, not here. “Byleth this rhinestone pulls energy and light from the stars, bending to kind of create a star pathway to wherever you think or want to go. “Their so rare that only five have been reported to be in existence. Whoever put this bottle here must have incredible power because all of the stones are highly guarded and kept in very dangerous places.” Nixon adds. What if the note wasn’t meant for me? What if the person’s plan went wrong and I picked it up instead of someone else? “What if this isn’t meant for me?” I ask Nixon, anxious. “I think it was meant for you, who else would be in the little spot that you always hang out? Plus, even if it isn’t yours, you should keep it, it’s pretty rare.” He winks. “Nixon!” I whine. He puts his hands up, his face full of humor. “Ok, ok I’m just saying.” Nixon sigh

Guinea pigs🐹🐹

Image
 Hi everyone! Since I didn't really do much today, and I don't have much pictures of what I did...I'll be posting several pictures of my guinea pigs! But before I do that, I will tell you about what I did today. This morning I woke up and ate breakfast. After that I logged on to zoom for my distance learning class. Today was the first day of my school going back to school (With special rules of course) and it's not really the most fun to be on zoom while the teacher is talking mainly to the people in class😬. But, after all this is our first day of doing this kind of school so I shouldn't assume the worst of the situation. Anyway, after I was done with school at around 2:00, I got started on my list of to-do things that I needed to get done and trust me- it was one long to do list. I read a bit. For school, I am doing a monster project where we have to make our own monster out of anything we have in the house. We can't bring stuffed animals or something that we

Chapter 33

  Chapter 33 My heart sinks. Her hair is up in a slick ponytail this time, her hoodie sways in the wind. She casually walks over to where we all sit, and sits down next to me. “Look, I didn’t want-” I sigh, she cuts me off. “I don't know what you are doing here, but I’m in.” she says confidently. “Don’t say nothing .” She says. I meet Will’s eyes and my heart does a weird fluttery thing, I ignore it. We both know that we’re already going to lose the fight that we didn’t even know we started. “I’ve been in battle training, everything. Trust me, I am the perfect fourth person to your group and the mission.” Amelia reasons. Battle training? She must really want to come with us. Silence drags on. I look up to the vast forest ahead of the stream we sit at. I see a silverish glint on one of the branches of the low-hanging trees.  I cock, my head confused. Maybe it’s just some weird elvin fruit that I don’t know about yet. It probably is but I still want to go over to the tree, snatch the

Hanging out at home and with the cousins

Image
 Today was a day just like any other...however we got to see our cousins! They live in Redlands so we hang out with them a lot; especially on Tuesdays for our high school and middle school church event. Anyway, my family went over to their house and while my parents and their parents play pickle ball, the kids played video games. Usually, my brother dominates at this but me and one of my cousins won one of the rounds! When we were at my cousin's house, they were talking about how they have volleyball practice tomorrow at YMCA. They play volleyball back in Germany and they are really excited to start practicing here too. I asked them about it and they said they would love it if I could join. When me and my cousin's hang out with each other outside sometimes, we play volleyball. At first I was to afraid of the ball to even hit it but then, I got a little better. I have a lot of fun playing volleyball! So, in two months I'll be starting volley ball practice! I can't wait t

Chapter 32

  Chapter 32 “I’m sorry.” I say. “It’s fine.” Nixon replies as he wraps his arms around me, embracing me in a hug. “I know that you’re human parents totally miss you right now too. I bet you they’ve been looking for you and then they were like ‘well wherever that troublemaker is she’ll take care of herself’ well, with the help of me of course.” Nixon always finds a way to work a joke into his words. I smile and giggle a bit. He lets go. “Oh, and one more thing, so Will has been itching to hang out with you lately. I would suggest inviting him to the river or something or else he might explode. He says he’s been really bored lately and has been trying to get away from Mataya. She’s been practically stalking him.” Nixon explains. I shiver, I can’t imagine what it’s like to have someone like queen Mataya stocking you. I nod. ************** “This is one cool place.” Will says. I nod. I told Will that he could escape from Mataya here; the stream. “So how’s it going with Amelia?” He asks. “P

Riding along the beach

Image
A couple of weeks ago, my brother had his birthday🎂. We celebrated with my grandparents (who live five hours away) and we also celebrated with other family and my brother's friends. My brother got a scooter and me and my mom tried it out. We both loved it and decided to each get one of our own! Anyway, this morning we went out to the beach and rode our scooters along the little sidewalk in front of the beach. Here is a picture of what the scooter looks like and then a couple of pictures of us stopping for donuts, and stopping along the way to pose: After riding for quite a while, we stopped back by the car to get some beach stuff! We headed off to the beach to hang out. Sadly, I forgot to wear my swimsuit😨🏊. So we didn't swim much. It was also pretty cold in the water and it was overcast which made it all the more cold. After spending about an hour at the beach, we left to the car and headed out to get some lunch. We stopped by an in-n-out in the drive-thru so that me and my
