Lahat ng Kabanata ng Blood, Gold, and Silver: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

My morning classes passed in a horrifying blur.The snickering and laughter from my classmates was bad enough, but it was the teachers who made everything worse. Two of them made me stand in the corner of the room, saying I wasn’t allowed to sit at my desk until I was ready to grow up. And another one gave me detention when I told her I couldn’t go get cleaned up when she ordered me to do so.It was mortifying.Only Mr. Davidson didn’t make a big deal out of it. Instead of drawing attention to my problem, which everyone in the school had been aware of at that point since it was the last period before lunch, he simply placed a towel down on my chair before jumping right into his lecture.I was more grateful to him than I could ever show. Since he taught Advanced Sciences, most of the students in class were in my siblings years, which meant they would all go tattling to them if it looked like Mr. Davidson and I had a closer than average relationship. When he asked me to stay after to tal

His dark cloths molded his body perfectly, emphasizing his lean muscles and wavey light brown hair. His arms were crossed, and though he didn’t seem to be overly muscled like some of our strongest warriors, he was far from helpless. Quite the opposite, in fact, and I could just tell that he knew how to handle himself. His strength wasn’t obvious, like our warriors. No, his was subtle, and so much more deadly. I had no doubts that he could take on, and defeat, every single person in the lunchroom.But it was his eyes that really made my body flush. Dark brown, full of both mischief and cunning, I knew I could lose myself in them forever if given the chance. And it was then that I realized what was wrong, that there was only one reason why I was able to see into his eyes so clearly.Because he was looking right at me.Panicking, I broke eye contact and hide behind Misty, who was just as enthralled as I had been a moment earlier. It made me sick, realizing that we had that moment in commo

“You need to let me rest for a minute, you monster,” he shouted breathlessly, taking a step backwards.“But your enemies wont wait for you to be well rested, now will they,” I retorted, taking another step towards him. “It’s now or never, little Duncan.”He growled. “I’m not that much smaller than you, monster,” he shouted back, determination starting to fill his features. Instead of retreating another step, he held his ground and dropped into an attacking posture.Anymore thought of avoiding the fight was washed away, and replaced with a mighty roar as he charged towards me. He struck out at me with a solid right hook, and he growled again when I took hold of his hand and swung him around, almost like we were dancing. This was the reason why they all called me Twinkle here, because all I ever did was dance when they tried to fight me.“Your too obvious,” I said in a level voice once I let go. He stumbled for a moment before regaining his balance, turning to charge again. “You need to

Ben“I didn’t realize your sister was the same age as us,” Ben asked as they stood up. “I would’ve thought she was much younger.”“Adopted sister,” Misty corrected as she hooked his arm again. “And she’s only a freshman, but since she has no friends, all she does is study. I was against her taking advanced classes with us, but grandfather put his foot down. The senile old fool.”“He’s not senile,” Chris argued back as they made their way outside for Clubs. Ben had learned throughout the day that this territory saved their specialized classes for after school clubs. It was a good idea, he thought, and would see if his Alpha King would want to adopt a similar structure back home. “At least most of the time.”Alpha Lord Roland, as they called their Kings here in this territory, was a legend, even back in the Briar Kingdom. The Thunder Pack, who used to rule this territory, were among the most elite anywhere, and were undefeated in battle throughout their history. And yet, they were wiped

I turned and fled from the room without a word, heading straight for the basement. Most of it was furnished into a large game room, complete with couches, tv’s, a large bar, and every kind of tabletop game there was. What most people didn’t know was that there was a secret door hidden behind the bar that led to the utility area for the Manor. And located there was a closet where my bedroom was, a very old set of washer and dryers, and a little bathroom.Taking all of my clothes off, and cursing myself for not remembering to grab my bag after working with the Beginner Club, I put everything in the washer and set it to do a quick wash. After that, I padded to the concrete shower area and braced myself as cold water sprayed out. The shower wasn’t attached to the hot water heater, which meant cold was my only option. Being sneaky when I was little, I did tap into the line and ran a pipe to the shower, but the punishment I received when it was discovered was so bad that I never tried it ag
