Ender's Game 2 Novels & Stories

The deadline for it is nearing and I don’t know what to do when that time came. “That’s a painful song, Caye!” Eloisa reacted. I can see Gio in my peripheral vision that he’s gently listening while eating. When that time comes, I don’t want you to avoid me. Let’s keep our friendship like we used to be. Forget that I made a confession to you and act as nothing happens… “So, this is now the finish of our second game which is the Jenga. Shall we proceed to the last game we have?” I told in front of the camera. I am now turning doleful again and I don’t want it to ruin my mood and energy today.

I was too pissed to do anything else, really. “…Let me see it,” I said suddenly, cutting their banter short. Ian unlocked his phone and slid it across the table to me. I played the video. The clip opened mid-play. The camera angle was from the stands—slightly shaky, zoomed in too tight—like whoever recorded it knew something special was about to happen. The score flashed briefly at the bottom of the screen. MILTON LIONS 28 — EASTBROOK RAVENS 10 The Ravens were on offense.

END GAME Book Two in the Dawson Family Series Copyright 2018 Emily Goodwin Chapter One Quinn I don’t know what hurts worse: my wrist or my stomach. The pain there is more concerning, and my wrist could be broken in two and my mind would still be on my baby. I know it takes a lot to hurt a baby this early in the pregnancy, but that doesn’t stop me from worrying. I flatten my hand over my stomach, looking at the spot where the guy was just standing. I’m shocked, scared, and unable to figure out why he looked so familiar.

His jaw was clenched in anger as the referee separated them. I had not replied to a single one of his messages since Bloodpine Ridge. Not the soft check ins. Not the nervous, rambling updates. Not the one he had sent last night that only said: Are you coming to the game? I had even ignored the driver who had shown up outside Silverwood dorm tonight to take Maya and me to West Oak for the game. I had watched the car from the dorm window until it disappeared down the road. The game started fast. West Oak played aggressively, their defense pressing tight, forcing Ravencrest into quick decisions. The camera kept swinging between the two sides.

She had prayed that Gabriella would be killed, she still hoped even now that Gabriella would not turn up. Has she pondered with a frown on her face watching Enzo closely, a loud siren echoed signalling the beginning of the game. The ten men dashed into the forest with Matteo but Enzo remained still, he brought out his gun and with a precise target, he shot two right in the head ending their life before even making it into the forest. The game did say no rules after all.

In that way, the Blue Feather Sect might have won the second game, but anyone who did not know would definitely think that they had a two-game losing streak judging from their appearance. In contrast, Edda returned to the Heavenly Stars Sect with guilt and remorse for losing the game, but she was greeted by the other eight teammates' encouragement and congratulations. Edda felt like she was about to burst into tears when she was sure that everyone was sincerely appreciating her performance today. "The next game is up to me." Jaime stood up, sweeping his gaze across the faces of everyone present. Finally, he looked at Caspian, "Casper, is there anything you want to say to me?"

“Ezran.” “What?” “Stop talking about not being ultra-rich.” I snorted quietly, picking up the second controller. The game started. For a while, everything felt normal. “You’re losing,” Erik said smugly. “I’m not.” “You are.” I scoffed. I might not play games frequently, but I was an ace. “I’m letting you win.” I winked. “It's my way of being a generous host.” “I won't let you lose on purpose, Ezran Banks. Come at me like a real man.”

I swallow, forcing myself to steady my breathing. “Yeah,” I say, though it comes out softer than I mean it to. “I just… lost focus for a second.” Jenny studies me for a moment longer, like she doesn’t fully believe that. But she nods anyway. “Alright. Shake it off,” she says gently. “Stay present.” I nod back. But my fingers still hover near my neck. Because the warmth is still there. Just then the sharp sound of the whistle cuts through the gym. Everyone stops instantly.

"Two minutes remaining!" "Ember!" Kimberly grabbed my arm. "Why are you so quiet? Are you watching this? The Fangs are down by one with two minutes left, this is insane!" "I'm watching," I said. "I'm pumped. Go Fangs." "You don't sound pumped." "Go," I said, louder. "Fangs." Kimberly laughed and turned back to the ice and I lifted my soda and took a long drink and tried to pay attention to the game instead of the inside of my own head.
