《Big Brothers | Completed ✔》Chapter 1

"Harper!" I heard my dad yell from the bottom, I mentally groaned but nonetheless reluctantly got up to see what the ruckus was about.
I swiftly walked down the stairs, because I am extremely clumsy. You don't even want to know how many times I have fractured my ankle.
I reached the stairs and saw that my dad was chilling on the couch, I coughed for his attention and he turned to look at me and smiled lazily.
"Can you get me a beer sweetheart?" He asked sweetly, but I'm sorry dad this is not going to work on me I'm your daughter for god's sake!
"Seriously dad?" I told him unbelievably, he sighed and motioned me to come to sit next to him. I walked towards him and folded my arms.
"Fine I'm sorry just don't tell your mother," he said and I giggled. I raised an eyebrow at him teasingly.
"On one condition," he looked intrigued before slowly nodding, "I get to cook dinner tonight." He widens his eyes, but then let out a breath.
"Okay just don't burn the house down. Now go upstairs, I want to watch the game in privacy," He shooed me away as I listened to him.
I walked up the stairs to find my twin brother Hayden and his best friend, Neil sprawled out on the floor upstairs.
I raised an eyebrow at them and they glanced at me before jumping on their feet, "We're bored Harp! Come on," Hayden said as I glared.
"How many time do I have to tell you guys, I am not a musical instrument!" I whined, but they just rolled their and Neil grabbed my wrist pulling along with them.
"Let me go!" I tried to pry his fingers off me, but did it work? Nope, but it was worth a try. As I looked up we entered Lee and Leos room, the scariest place!
"What the fu- oh it's you, children," Lee said staring at us as we waltz in. Leo and Aaron smirk when they see me.
"Just the girl I wanted to see," Aaron said smiling, I rolled my eyes at him. I didn't even notice Hayden lock the door.
I crossed my arms, "What do you all want?" I said trying to act brave, but of course, I lose it when I noticed everyone in the room can tower over me.

"Ooh, the big girl trying to use big girl words?" Lee smirked, I huffed because since I'm the youngest, of course, I get babied the most.
"Anyways we need you to get something from Drake and Conner's room," Leo told me and I shook my head hastily.
"No way! Conner is always in a grumpy mood and so is Drake, they make might kill me!" I said whispering the last line.
"We care because...?" Aaron said trailing off, I slumped and shook my head denying this stupid mission.
"Really? You want us to gang up on you?" Leo taunted while smirking, I look around and everyone has their arms crossed.
You probably don't know this about me but I am terrified of all my brothers, which sucks because I'm the youngest and shortest.
I sighed in defense, "Fine! I'll do your stupid task, what am I looking for?" I asked the twins, they glanced at each other before answering.
"My headphones, and his phone," they told me. I then thought that they could easily gang up on Drake and Conner since their both younger, but of course, my brothers are too lazy.
I turned and dashed for the door which was unlocked, and even though Drake and Conner are younger than Lee and Leo they scare me the most for some odd reason.
I got to their door and knocked lightly on it, unfortantly the door swung open fast and reavealed Conner.
"What?" He asked rudely, I flinched from his tone. This is why I'm scared of them the most.
"Dads calling you," I said confidently. He rolled his eyes before shoving past me and walking down the stairs.
Drake wasn't in his room either, and I went through all their draws and found the headphones and phone.
I quickly left the room and ran to the twins room and bust the door open, "Got it!" I exclaimed but the three of them started chuckling.
I was very confused but then Aaron pointed behind me as I turned Conner stood their glaring at me.
I widen my eyes and drop their things, "O-oh hey bro..." I said awkwardly. He glared at me once more, but then glanced back and said: "I'll get you for that."
I gulped and sucked in a sharp breath, "That was hilarious Harp! Wow, you got caught so easily." Leo told me, and I glared before stomping over to my room.

Now, I want to tell you some facts about my family. Neil and Aaron are brothers, both of their parents died and Aaron took custody of Neil.
Hayden and the twins were friends with them and they asked our mom if they could move in, and she happily agreed.
My mom and dad are both models and they work for the second biggest company, which means we're rich.
I don't really care about that though, but my brothers are spoiled brats.
My mom and dad work a lot, but my dad is trying to quit drinking. It hurts me when I see him drink.
I shake my head and walked towards my laptop to listen to some music, but Hayden and Neil, unfortunately, ruin it by barging into my room.
Before I could tell them to knock more often I was lifted up into the air, and 4 years of experience I didn't bother to struggle.
"You this isn't a good view," I said and Neil chuckled, (I was staring at Hayden's butt).
"Shut up Harp," he said probably using my nickname on purpose. I hated my nickname so much, I just wish everyone just called me Harper and that's it.
We walked down the stairs and as Hayden set me, I turned face to the whole dining room. Dad sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Hayden I told you to get your sister I did not tell you to carry her down physically. She has legs, am I right?" He said while shaking his head.
Drake snorted, "Dad she can barely walk. She always ends up tripping and falling on her ass," Everyone in the room snickered except for me and dad.
"Anyways," he said rolling his eyes and smiling at me, "come here, my little girl." He cooed at me, I stuck my tongue out at my brothers childishly and sat next to my dad.
"So," he said looking at everyone, "how was everyone's day?" He asked curiously, nobody answered because they were too busy eating like pigs though that might be offensive to pigs.
"My day was okay dad," I smiled at him. He smiled back and looked at the boys, Drake glanced up and smirked.
"Mine was hella fine! I went to a party and everything. I even screwed some girls too," I chocked on my food and dad looked at me concerned.
"You okay sweetie?" He asked, I nodded and saw at the corner of my eye, Leo and Lee fist-bumping Drake.
"That's disgusting we didn't need to know about your pathetic love life," I smirked at him and dad snickered.
Drake, however, glared, "Oh yeah? Do you have a love life? I never see you hanging out with boys," I narrowed my eyes at him and at this point everyone stopped eating and stared at us.
"I can't hang out with boys, because of you people!" I exclaim, they smirk and Hayden swallows his food and looks at me.
"So what your saying is that if we didn't care, you would go out with a bunch of dudes?" He says with curiosity, I look at him as if he grew an extra arm.
"Of course not! I'm not like you guys who just look at a girl and say: She's my target and I get to screw her," I say casually.
"Hayden and I don't do that," Neil said like it was obvious. I rolled my eyes at him and scooped up a spoonful of mashed potatoes.
"Okay let's change the topic," dad said as tension raised in that air, "Conner how was your day?" Conner looked at him and rolled his eyes.
"It was fine," he muttered. I wanted to play with him because for some reason he really does hate talking to people.
"What was that Conner?" I shouted a little enthusiastically, he glared at me. If looks can kill, I would have been on the floor groaning.
"I said," he said putting down his fork, "It was fine!" He shouted at me, I smirked.
I titled my head at him, "Well someone's on their man period." Once I said that line everyone started chocked on air, water, and food.
"What?" I asked confused, they all rolled their eyes at me. Soon enough dinner was over and I just finished doing the dishes.
Dad announced that he's going to sleep and mom will be back in the morning sadly, and everyone else is sleeping.
I went to the bathroom, did my business and flopped on my bed, falling into a deep sleep.

Saga of the Jewels VOLUME ONE COMPLETE
Prefer to listen to rather than read Saga of the Jewels? I'm also releasing it as a free audibook serial podcast on iTunes here! Epic YA JRPG-influenced GameLit progression ensemble-cast steampunk romance fantasy! When Ryn’s hometown is destroyed, will he be able to gather together the twelve Primeval Jewels in order to defeat the evil Emperor and save the world of Mid? A fan novelization of an amazing Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist, that currently releases at least one chapter a month. Epic in that this will be very long. “It’s a marathon, not a sprint!” (-Kandaj) YA in that this should be enjoyable to~13-year-olds and upwards. Some gore, some swearing, some sex, but nothing more than PG-13. JRPG-influenced / GameLit in that it uses lots of JRPG tropes, particularly from Final Fantasy. I’ve read a lot of fan Final Fantasy novelisations and you can basically think of this as a fan novelisation of its own Final Fantasy game that doesn’t actually exist as a game... Progression in that the characters level up over time (though not with visible litrpg stat boxes). They grow in ability through training and experience, gain new skills, individually and as a party (think Chrono Trigger) and spend time discussing and stratgeising about how to defeat their opponents. Main protagonist from book three would definitely be able to defeat himself from book one! Ensemble-cast because we've got quite the roster of misfits here. The first volume is all from the main protagonist's POV, but it starts dancing between his and different POVs thereafter. Steampunk in that we’ve also got airships, steam trains, pistols and ambiguous ‘amber bars’ that function a bit like artificial lights… Romance in that there is lots of shipping here, a few love triangles, and you may be kept guessing as to who will actually end up together... Fantasy in that we’re in a vaguely pre-modern setting. We’ve got swords, magic, dragons, dungeons, monsters, all that good stuff. * "This story captures that Final Fantasy quality perfectly. Kiddy but also grim. The characters are great... Severely underrated and needs more favorites/follows. I look forward to seeing how this story will unfold." -Gilgamesh9999 "Starting at the end and jumping backwards is not a writing style seen every day. I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but you've executed a fairly crazy idea very skillfully so far. Overall, a strong start to what could be a very strong story." -RandomFF.netUser "You definitely have my interest piqued. It'll be interesting to see where the story goes... It definitely has an 'old school Final Fantasy' type feel to it, which I appreciate...Good job! I am glad you are going into more details about the story you laid out in the prologue...of course the big burning question is 'You know they lose in the the first chapter, so how will they end up winning?' That of course, is the story you're writing...so we'll see how it goes! #Following." -KyleQuicksilver (quotes are from reviews on other sites) * If you enjoy it, don’t forget to boost Saga of the Jewels on topwebfiction.com!
