Advertisement
Sabrina open her eyes, roll on her bed as she turn off her alarm. The door opens and her mom came in. Then, her room got crowded as her siblings, Enzo and Ethan enters her room and drop themselves sleepily on her bed. She rolled her eyes and pushes them.
"Get off!" She scream at them but they started wrestling her. "Mom! These two rascals!"
Anastasia was laughing as she took footage of her triplets.
"I swear." She kick Enzo in his chest and falls on the floor.
"Ow! Mom! She just kicked me." Enzo complains. Then Sabrina did the same to Ethan. The two of them was lying on the floor.
"That's what is going to happen when you mess up with me!"
"Come on guys, let's get ready to school." Anastasia said. Ferdinand came up and kisses Anastasia and look at them.
"Guys, you don't want to be late to meet up with your crushes."
Enzo immediately left Sabrina's room and Ethan followed.
"Someone has a girlfriend!" Sabrina said.
"Brina, wake up, please." She heard that voice again. The voice of a man. But she's awake?
"Did you hear that?" She ask her parents.
"Hear what, honey?" Ferdinand asked.
"Nothing."
They got ready for school and their car is waiting outside. The three of them enter their classes. Ethan and Enzo's arms are hanging on her shoulders as they mess up with her hair.
"I have a date today, babe. Don't tell mom." Enzo said and kisses her top head.
"Please! Not my hair!"
"Sabrina! Sabrina." Someone scream her name then she turn around.
"Who's calling?" She asked the two.
"What do you mean? No one is calling you. Stop dreaming." Ethan said.
"Or maybe you are still dreaming."
Her class ended well and boys would go on her way and ask her out. She only roll her eyes and went outside and wait for her brothers in the parking lot. She frown when she saw Enzo kissing some girl passionately. She reach her shoes and throw it hard on Enzo's head.

"You are busted!" She scream at him. Enzo was surprised and then apologize to the girl.
As usual. They came home and ate dinner as a family. Everyone is happy but she heard someone crying calling out her name. "I failed you." The voice said.
"That's enough sleep Sabrina. Veronica needs you." She look around her. Where is that voice coming from?
She get ready to sleep and was about to sleep when she heard a loud bang. Not once but trice. Then she ran and found a big man dragging her mother's body. Her eyes was wide open and lifeless. She scream and the person pointed the gun to her.
"Wake up, sleepy head." The man grins at her.
Sabrina feel like her whole body has been hit by bulldozer. She open her eyes slowly and the first thing she saw as she turn her head was a man pacing back and forth with a phone in his hand. His voice was deep, and sexy. What is she talking about? Sexy? Damn, she can't fall in love with a man older than her. She's too young.
She exhales with a sound and the man froze. She tries to get up but there are apparatus connected to her. She remove the oxygen on her nose and saw Ethan standing in a suit. He was staring at her indifferently.
"Ethan, what are you looking at?" She grumble. "Bring me water." She demanded.
"No magic word?" Ethan asked feeling a little weird.
"Please." She said. "I got a very weird dream." She closed her eyes and open it again. The man from before sat beside her and scoop her face. She froze.
"Brina, you're awake." He planted his warm soft lips on hers. Her eyes widens and she push him a little. She turn her head away from him.
Ethan frowns. Something is wrong with Sabrina. He look at Gabriel who look puzzle and hurt. If it was Sabrina, Gabriel's wife, she would throw herself at him but she feel indifferent.

"I need water." She told Ethan. Gabriel was the one who gave her water with a straw. She sipped on it a little. She stare at Ethan and frown. "Why do you look so tall? And old?"
Ethan only smiled at her and then he move closer to her and caress her hair.
"Babe, what happened to you when you visit Grandpa?" He asked. She frown.
"What do you mean visit grandpa?" She touches his beard and then check his face. "Why do you look so old?"
"What do you mean old?" Ethan asked.
"You look—totally grown up." She said. Ethan glance at Gabriel.
"Aren't you going to greet Gabby and tell him that you are sorry that you left and didn't take care of yourself?" He said.
"Who's Gabby?" She asked. Gabriel pull out his phone and dial a number as Sabrina look at him like a stranger.
"Come here immediately. My wife is awake."
"Wife?" She murmur. "Where's Enzo?" she suddenly asked.
"He's taking care of his triplets."
Sabrina's eyes widens from Ethan's answer. Then she laugh.
"You are kidding me? Okay, don't make me laugh, I feel stiff. Where's mom?"
Suddenly it was too quiet inside the room. She look around and then she look at Ethan and look at his hand. There's a wedding ring on his hand and then at her left fingers. There's a mark on her fingers like a ring was there.
"Ethan, what happened?" Her eyes started forming beads of waters.
"What is the last thing you remember?" Ethan asked as he scoop her face.
"School. Mom was there, she cooked breakfast for us as usual and we started planning for our holiday." Ethan wipe her tears. "What's happening?"
Ethan look up at Gabriel who remain calm. Ethan's phone chimes and he answer it.
"Hey, love. It's Brina, she's awake. I'll be late." He then call Enzo and Ferdinand.
Sabrina feel uncomfortable as the man is staring at her like he's going to eat up her soul. Then the man quit staring and exhales. He look frustrated as he washes his hand on his face. His phone is ringing and it was Tony. He turn back and talk in low voice.
"Tell, Ivanov, he should find the bastard himself. Since he killed his own wife."
He sound intimidating. Sabrina shudders. Gabriel sat down closer to her and reach her stomach. Ethan nodded at her. What does that mean? Sabrina look totally quizzical and then to the satin that she's wearing. She's not even wearing a bra and there's something on her vagina. Was it a catheter?
"Since you are awake and you don't remember what you did, you have to deal with it." He said.
"Ethan, he's scaring me. Let's go home." She told Ethan. Ethan exhales her sister looks adorable just like their old times. Their childhood.
"Wifey, do not provoke me." Gabriel grit his teeth and scoop her chin. "You almost killed yourself and our baby."
Sabrina's eyes widens and look at Ethan. He nodded.
"Whatever you last remember means nothing at all. Maybe it is good that you don't remember those but you have to be ready to face your reality." He caress her hair. "Don't be stubborn, that won't work on me."
How the hell did she get married?

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
